Otona no Himitsu Club Sanriku Railway Journey🚃Day 1
Take the Yamada Line from Morioka to Miyako. We changed to the Sanriku Railway and stayed in Kamaishi. We went to a restaurant that my wife had seen in dancyu a few years ago and was curious about.
It was a little matured, but refreshing. I had a feeling it would go well with fish. It certainly goes well with straw-roasted bonito 🐟 😆 The fresh unodan and jade eggplant jus is superb. The taste of the sea urchin really spreads out. The meal included homemade sesame tofu, grated sweet corn, junsai and egg tofu, fried green pepper with baby sardines and tofu paste, and tofu paste with white beans. All are perfect as snacks 👌

Second bottle. This is a good balance. Easy to drink. Though it was starting to get a little suspicious.
The pairing of Iwate sake, Ginga Ginga and Yuko no Soukou, is interesting because of the individuality of each brewery!
Tonight's dinner.
I bought this from a convenience store in Kamaishi City when I was there on a business trip the other day.
It's getting a little cooler, so I'm going to enjoy it with hot oden.
At a favorite sushi restaurant.
This label is often seen at sushi restaurants and izakayas in the prefecture.
It is a refreshing and tasty sake.
The subtle sweetness followed by the umami flavor that goes right through is perfect for seafood dishes!
This is the first time for Hamachidori 🐦️.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity.
When you take a sip, it has a juicy sweet flavor with refreshing acidity.
It is fire-aged, but it is quite fresh and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
I have a good impression of Iwate sake lately.
It was delicious 🍶✨.
Hi, Matsuchiyo 😃
Congratulations on your first Hamachidori 🎉!
We haven't tasted it 🥲 but I'd like to try it 🤗Kochira looks dry but it's sweet 😋I'll have to look for a place that sells it 😅.
It's been a long time since Hamachidori - nigori!
Buy!
It tastes sweet and bitter, but it's 17%.
There are days when I drink it and go straight to bed.
However, it was made in January 2023, or maybe the bitterness hardened at the bottom of the bottle...,
However, I drank it all up with great relish.

Second glass of the tasting set ✨
Dry and sharp. The three local fish sashimi was a flounder, sea robin, and sea bass 🐟I guess you can't go wrong with local fish and local sake 😋.

Memories of the trip: A night in Kamaishi
At a tavern near the inn
A restaurant run by a single proprietress who looks like a snack mom.
The only sake they serve is Hamachidori.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Sashimi assortment as a side dish
I've never tasted Donko no Namenro before!
The thick, leatherfish-like gizzard calls for sake!
Fortunately or unfortunately, there were no other customers, so we were able to monopolize Mom and listen to her talk about the tsunami and the current situation in Kamaishi!
I almost forgot the details...
I don't remember most of the details! So they bought a new land and rebuilt.
I heard that she opened her store for the customers who had nowhere else to go when she was in Korona.
Rock 'n' roll stories are good for a bar!
It was a good memory of the trip.
