Once upon a time, a friend and I drank a bottle of Midorikawa to death. I will have it for the first time in decades.
What's that? Was it such a modern sake? It is fresh, crisp, and delicious.
I must try the normal Midorikawa.
I realized that spring is already over.
I opened a bottle in a hurry.
The lady at Ikeya recommended this sake.
It has the usual Midorikawa flavor, with a slight carbonation that is not found in the usual Midorikawa, and flows smoothly.
It is delicious!
The price is in the mid-2000 yen range for a 4-pack, and it contains brewer's alcohol. Probably a ginjo. Normally, I would never buy this, but I'm glad I followed the lady's advice.
Forgot to review this one too.
A gift from a friend
It was Niigata sake that got me hooked on sake for the first time, so I felt like I was back to my roots!
It is a refreshing sake with a hint of sweetness, and as the label indicates, it is a sake to look forward to every year at this time of year, when the spring season is in full swing.
First time to visit Aji no Fue, a restaurant in the "Yoshiike" chain in Okachimachi, which I have been interested in for a long time.
The system is that you can choose your own snacks from the a la carte menu.
We started with Midorikawa, which is described as "known by those in the know".
Slightly crispy, but also heavy. But it also has weight. The acidity is just right. The natural autumn salmon was a perfect match.

Good evening, hoshiaki!
I entered this restaurant last month with Mr. Nochi and Mr. Yukachin because we felt a connection ❗It may be natural because it is a chain restaurant, but you guessed it, Yokobue is located in many places ‼️
Thank you for your comment, Menshuoh 😊It sounds like a fun time drinking with everyone ✨I checked online and it looks like there are two stores, the main one in Okachimachi and the one in Kanda. I'd like to compare them 😅The selection of sake in the basement of Yoshike is also good🎊.
