The first night in Sendai. There was still snow on the ground from a few days ago, and as a resident of Saitama Prefecture, it was tough for me to walk on snowy roads😥 My legs were aching.
The owner of the restaurant is from Aizu, so we had some Aizu sake.
It was my first time to try Zeroman. I found it a little bitter, but it was very tasty with the sake lees soup that was served with it 😋.

Rice, water, and people. Sake made with a commitment to the true meaning of "locally brewed sake
Mild Nigori Sake that has deepened its flavor over time in the brewery
Mild nigori sake born in the middle of winter when the whole area is covered with snow. After that, we stayed in the quiet brewery, feeling the changing seasons outside, and waited for the coming of autumn. The light nigori sake that has passed its time peacefully is released to the world as "Shimofuri Romain" when frost falls on the earth. The flavor and richness are brought out through slow maturation. The mellow flavor goes well with autumnal delicacies.
Five particularities of the "Romain" series
Rice 100% Aizu rice
Water: "Takashimizu" and Jizosawa water source, selected as one of the 100 best water source forests
Brewer: Local people from the Nango area in Minamiaizu
Yeast "Utsukushima Yume Yeast" developed by Fukushima Prefecture

Hi NABE!
It seems that Loman has several varieties and I felt I would like to try them again!
If you have any other sake recommendations in Fukushima and Minamiaizu, I'd be happy to hear about them: 🙇♂️

Moist banana🍌 sweetness.
Feels like it has some flavor too 🤔.
Mild on the palate😊.
As the temperature rises and it gets closer to room temperature, it gets even mellower and 🌸 more gorgeous 🤗.
What an unusual aroma.
It smells like pear and plum.
When you take a sip, you will be surprised by the ume plum aroma.
It has a clear, round, sweet flavor with a touch of astringency and acidity.
The mouthfeel is sharp and mineral.
It slowly retains its umami flavor,
The taste is slowly developing, but the taste is relatively refreshing.
4/5 stars for my taste.
Fried rice with fried pork, which a regular customer had ordered the day before.
On that day, I asked the proprietress if I could order it when I entered the restaurant, and she said yes. 🙆♀️
I asked for it because I had eaten all the meat by now!
She was happy to tell me that it was ready for me!
I could hear the sound of a wok being shaken in the kitchen.
We gave up on the hot sake for the last round, and went for this cold sake!
The Hitoroman Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-Harajinshu was a first for me!
The first customer had just opened his mouth!
Fresh and fruity sake, a high spec of Hitroman!
Fried rice was served hot, and we munched on it while huffing and puffing, and then gulped down the cold sake!
It was great!
When it was time to pay the bill, the young master came out and talked about the sake served the day before.
He told us that he had put in a very expensive bottle of sake!
He said it was a congratulatory gift!
I had come empty-handed the day before, so I brought a little something with me.
