At a hot spring inn in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
I was glad that the buffet dinner included all-you-can-drink alcohol, and I enjoyed some snacks such as pickled wasabi, salted fish, meat and tofu, seafood yaki-sale, and sashimi.
Matabei is a local brand of Iwaki City with a 95% local consumption rate.
It is a classic, standard sake, but it is refreshing and easy to drink, giving the impression that you will never get tired of drinking it.
Probably Junmai Sake
Kisei: Grain aroma
Sei, the smell that comes through to the nose
Tensei
Conclusion
Perfect as a food sake. Aged aroma? It is easy to drink.
It tastes like sweetpotato shochu, like Kurokiri, and goes well with sushi!
Sake 🍶 that came with my accommodation plan on a recent business trip to Fukushima.
It's been a while since I had a cup of sake 🍶.
I chilled it and it tasted surprisingly sweet and delicious 😋There were some pickles included with the sake, but I forgot to eat them💦.
More importantly, I was on a business trip to Fukushima, so I went there to enjoy the local sake,
When I went to the sake shop, they didn't have the sake I was looking for 😱.
All the good local izakayas were full ⤵︎
I was told that you can't get in without a reservation.
Shocked because I couldn't get local sake or seafood 😭.
I decided to make a reservation next time!
