I was able to finish work a little early for this time of year, so I got off at Ikebukuro and patrolled the west exit.
I went in to a restaurant I had only been to for lunch before.
It was Hanaizumi and Aizu Chusho from Kaiun Hiyazume.
The food was mainly Japanese, with a sophisticated twist.
The chilled tofu was from Daitomo Tofu in Ikebukuro. Delicious tofu.
Potato salad with prosciutto ham and strawberries.
Different from the standard tsumami, it was matched with sophisticated Japanese food,
I was able to taste the goodness of Hanazono's Honjozo, which is a royal sake in the middle of the road.
Hiraccio, good evening.
I live in the Kansai region and cannot drink Fukushima sake or Ibaraki sake very often, but I am attracted to local sake such as this Hanaizumi and Kirizukuba.
Good morning, Maruwa-san.
Hanazono is popular for its modernity, as is Loman for Hanazono and Urasato for Kirizukuba, but the original main brand is also good because it has the character of a local sake.
If you see one, please try it.
Lately, I have only encountered gorgeous ogara-mi-style wines, but it has been a while since I drank one with a lot of umami (flavor).
It has a delicious full flavor of rice like doburoku. But it's a ginjo-shu, isn't it?
I couldn't find the active nigori that everyone was drinking, but I found this one and got it right away!
Polishing ratio 65
Alcohol 17%.
Classic aroma, fresh and crisp!
The taste is also classic, but it is half modern and half sour, making it easy to drink.
There is a slight bitterness at the end and a nice spiciness.
The next day, it has a good balance of sweetness, flavor and acidity, and is very drinkable and delicious. ❣️
After that, it tasted juicy and easy to drink.
Lomang is of course delicious as well 😊.
Thanks to you, I can live my life as usual 🙏.
I just wanted to drink it as soon as I got better and ended up not drinking it for 5 days 🤣.
Hi Pon-chan 👋
It's boring if you can't drink alcohol, well, it's better not to drink when you think about your health 🤣Hanaizumi's nigori, next season, by all means ♪
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
Yes I was checking out what you were drinking 😁🙏It tastes like this, especially with food 🙏 I was drinking ❣️ Kok Kok Kok and saw the label on the back and thought oh that's not good 😂.
Hi Manachy 🐦.
I didn't think to drink when the pain didn't go away, but as soon as I knew it was going to heal 😆 I can't stand it 😂.
Nigori, I'll take a closer look next term 🫣.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I would like to drink sake from this brewery too ⤴️
The second day is also good where the flavor comes on 😋.
I've never seen it before, so I'm not sure when it will be available? I'm not sure when I'll be able to drink it, but I'd like to try it 😊.
Good evening, Pon 😀
At least it's good to see you back in the drinking game 😀.
I sometimes have 5 days free due to my work schedule, but on the days I can drink, I dash home 🤣.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛I've never had Hanaizumi, but I've had Loman, and I got the impression that it had a deeper flavor 🍶Anyway, I'm glad you're back: ☺️5 It's great that you could hold out for a day: ✨️
Good evening, Pon 😃.
You survived the five day ordeal 🥲 well done 🤗.
I feel happy that you are fine and can drink 17 degrees.
I would love to drink modern chic😚!
Congratulations on your recovery, Pon!
I'm glad you feel the urge to drink, which is proof that you're doing well🍶☺️
I don't know why I personally don't have a chance to drink either Lomang or Hanaizumi, so this is helpful.
I need to drink a lot to make up for the 5 days 😁.
Pon.
Good evening 4♪
I'm glad you've recovered quickly 😊.
I just recently drank this Hanaizumi and it's delicious 🤤It's not easy to come across Hanaizumi, but when I find it, I buy it immediately 😁.
Good morning, ma-ki-san 🐥.
I think Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki sells Loman and Hanazono 🤔If you ever go there, I would love to see them! I'll check it out and ask them too if I go there 😊.
Thank you Yasbay 😊.
Sorry for rattling on for only 5 days 🙏 it feels like an incredibly long time when you drink every day😅 so I totally understand how you feel about the dash 🤣.
Thank you Nao888😊
I don't like to drink while I'm in pain, but I felt like I wasn't drinking anything 💦 health is very important 😊.
This is the only one, but I think this one is more umami 🤔Romang is more current image 😁.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
Although I only drink a little every day, it's been a long time since I've been sober 😂 now I don't miss stretching to drink 🤣 the power of alcohol is immense!
I'll have a nigori next season!
Thank you Aladdin 😊.
Whenever I see even the slightest sign of healing, the ban is lifted 😂I really can't stand it 💦I went to the liquor store for the first time in a while yesterday because the fridge was empty 😊I'm a fish out of water 🤣.
Thank you, Kozo, 🐥🐥🐥🐥
I was drinking it so I could refer to it while I was drinking it 🙏It's good both as is and during the meal 😊I guess it's not so many because I've never seen it in a store that carries lomang either 🤔.
Hi, Pon-chan!
Congratulations on your recovery😊I myself had the flu at the beginning of the year and couldn't drink for about 10 days, so I know how painful it is.
Thank you so much, freelancer first generation man 😊.
I'm so sorry to hear about your flu 😰 I know 10 days must have felt really long 😢.
I realized how important it is to be healthy and delicious 😂.
I think this is another brand that is new to me. I didn't pick it up because I had a sweet image of it.
First, let's start with the supernatant. The bitterness from the soft aroma comes, but as expected, the sweetness is strong.
I tried mixing in the oli, but since it had been given a lot of rest, it did not mix well. Still, after struggling for a while, we managed to make nigorizake.
Nigori (nigori) sake must be mixed. The expression changes from the sweetness of the supernatant.
It is not so silky, but the flavor of the rice gives the sake a richness. However, there is almost no sharpness. The back of the bottle says that it can be served warmed, so I will give it a try.
A restaurant dedicated to Fukushima, guarded by Shinbashi. This was my first visit. The sake was innocent, but a bit expensive. It was a rare sake, so I took it as it was. I hope it is given back to the sake breweries in Fukushima.
The taste is slightly fizzy and slightly bitter, but since the original is juicy, it mingled with it and we enjoyed it.
Thank you for the sake.
The content is close to that of a daiginjo.
The sweetness has a ginjo feel.
There is a sourness, but it seems to be to different tastes. The taste is also very refreshing and clean.
This sake was recommended (that day) by a beef tongue restaurant in Sendai. The sake was not too sweet nor too spicy, and went well with various dishes of beef tongue.
I am on a family trip to Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.
It is dry and a little heavy which I like. It has a moderate aroma and goes well with pickled herring and shime saba (mackerel). Drinking this makes me want to eat more sashimi~!
I wanted to take a picture of the bottle, but I couldn't say so because I thought it would be a nuisance when I was busy...
Isn't this a common occurrence for everyone?
My husband is blushing after drinking a little beer beside me.
It's a reversal of our marriage.
Hi NABE 😃how nice to hear you are from my hometown! So this is your hometown... I like it... I envy you for having so many good sake in your hometown 😆 Tsurugajo castle in the snow was so beautiful. It's a nice place to eat and drink!
Kampachi fish simmered in arabesque and nameko mushrooms
and the nameko. 😊Dessert, Dojima Roll😍
Unfinished raw sake version of the standard junmai sake. 😂
It's as if you're sipping the freshly made sake with a ladle
It tastes fresh and fresh.
It tastes fresh. 😊
I can feel the strength of Al 18, but it is dry and has a low acidity.
It is dry and has low acidity, so it is relatively easy to drink.
It's a good choice. It's a good wine.
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
I haven't had a chance to drink the Hanaizumi I see so often 😂The food and the sake look delicious! The namero is beautifully beaten 👍✨.
I haven't had Dojima rolls in a while 😻
Good evening, Hanapin-san!
I can't stop drooling over this menu 🤤.
I would love to try Hanazono sake, but it looks like it would go well with the dish too 🎵.
I want to try the Dojima roll so badly 😋!
Good evening, ma-ki-. 😊
I like nameko very much,
I do it often. I love it so much 😆I have this one,
I don't need anything else. I love the Dojima rolls,
I love it. 😂.
Hanaizumi Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu, directly packed in sake barrels
Strength, Nama-Shu taste
Delicious, but the strong alcohol content will make you drunk...
