At the Sea Gohan Shimakana.
Finally, a special junmai Kame-no-o from Toriyoemon.
60% polished rice.
I was already quite drunk and drank without knowing what Kame-no-o was like! 😁.
No, really, meeting for the first time in a long time is three times better than meeting for the first time in a long time because of the conversation! 👍
As expected, my partner had to play golf the next day, so we cut it off at 2:30, but let's have another drink! So we parted with a lot of excitement, including the search for the next restaurant.
The fourth photo is a candy called "Oseiame" from a confectionery shop called Nagasawaya in Shinmei-cho, Morioka City.
It was a gift from my partner.
When I typed in "Ouseiame," it was converted correctly, so it seems to be a quite famous confectionery.
So I ate it and was surprised to find that it was not sweet! It is the image of Okayama's millet dumplings, which are not sweet.
A Google search for the store revealed that it was a small store that probably only sells these sweets.
But the taste is good enough to make a business out of it.
Thanks for the treat! Thank you 🙋

Then, special junmai Bizen Omachi from Toriyoemon
It is 70% polished rice, and I guess they want us to feel more Omachi-like characteristics, but as I was getting drunk, I could not feel its delicacy 😱.
But I can't feel the delicacy of it as I'm getting drunk 😱.
When I was chomping down on the fried food, my wife checked me out and said, "You're moving too fast! I got a stern check from my wife 😱.
No, the food is delicious and the choice of drinks is great! 😁
In no time at all, the contents of one mouthful were gone!
Very delicious! 🎉
At the Sea Gohan Shimakana.
Next, the owner brought out three kinds of Toru Yoemon.
Please compare them! He said. 😄
Well, thank you very much.
I'll take it from the right right away! 👍
This special junmai sake is made with Miyamanishiki from Iwate prefecture and polished to 55%.
The first sip will fill your mouth from the acidity typical of Miyamanishiki. 🎉
After that, it becomes soft, sweet and delicious.
Mmmm, delicious!
Tomorrow is my farewell golf game..." and the other party sipped on their sake cups.
It was very delicious! Thank you so much 🎉
Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai. I always look forward to your information on Morioka and Iwate area. I am interested in "Umi Gohan Shimaka". I would like to visit there when I have a chance to go to Morioka.
Good evening, hoshiaki! I'm sorry to hear that 🙋.
It is a little far from the station, but quite popular.
We stock a variety of sake, not only local, and the food is just delicious.
Please visit us! 👍

Weak grapefruit type aroma and acidity. It has a strong sake quality, yet it has a light and refreshing taste, which is very strange. The umami is not strong when you drink it, but it leaves a strange aftertaste that lingers for a while. It is a unique sake that is beyond my imagination.
Compatibility with food
Scallop sashimi◯++.
Grilled mackerel grilled with mirin mirin

Personal preference★★★★☆
Junmai Ginjo🍶Unfiltered Hiyoroshi✨Akizakura🌸Iwate Ginga🌾.
Iwate-Akita-Yamagata-Yuri Kogen Railway Journey🚃Day 1
Second glass of Badalone (really third 😅 as I'm also drinking a cider). Toru Yoemon drink comparison 😆.
Hiyoroshi, as expected, has a calm taste. It's similar in direction to the special junmai nama sake, but this one has a more gentle taste 😌.
Sanriku pike with autumn eggplant pesto 😋The fatty, huge pike is dried to remove excess water. The skin is cooked properly and the flesh is rare. I'll be back soon!

Special Junmai 🍶Non-filtered raw sake ✨Directly Kumi, Finish #12 Miyamanishiki from Iwate Prefecture🌾.
Iwate-Akita-Yamagata-Yuri Kogen Railway Journey🚃Day 1✨.
The first night of the trip was spent at the famous Italian restaurant Badalone in Hanamaki 🍽️ A banner in front of Hanamaki station celebrating Otani's 50-50 achievement 😆.
Fresh✨Sweet and sour. A little grassy but with a darker fruitiness. Gentle but strong and rich with a rice feel. I had a sweetfish from Toyosawa river, between confit and fried, with a salty taste.

Forgot one thing!
Another sake given to me by the customer next door!
A clean, fresh taste with a sharp aftertaste 🚿.
The neighbor also gave me some crustaceans and I really appreciate it...
It's great to have a restaurant where customers are close to each other👍
I'll post the second and subsequent drinks later, as it would take too much shadowbanning to post all at once!
8/10
I think this is new sake brewed with Ginga.
This was delicious.
I wonder if it was directly pumped, there was some gas, and the fresh taste was very nice.
Surprisingly, as the temperature rises, it has a more subdued depth, which is enjoyable.
I wish they would do something about the fact that I can't convert kanji characters.
Another round of drinks at Morioka Izakaya
Drunken Emon Autumn Cherry Blossom (Cosmos)
Moderate aroma
Slightly acidic with a hint of dine.
Aftertaste is clean and watery
It is refreshing and disappears quickly.
If you want to match it with sashimi, this is the one to drink.
