After enjoying sake tasting in Kawagoe, we wandered around Nakano Broadway and had an early dinner at an Afghan restaurant "Caravanserai Bao" in Higashi-Nakano (featured in Season 3 of "Gourmet of Solitude").
The spicy seasoned lamb is very tasty and Japanese favorite!
But...
They don't have any sake on hand 😂.
That's why we had to drink at the same time!
We went to Fujiki Shoten Ikebukuro Honten located at the east exit of Ikebukuro station.
This store has sake from all 47 prefectures!
Tokyo is amazing!
You can get anything you need.
We immediately tried the 90 minute all-you-can-drink course ❗️.
It's completely self-serve and you decide how much you want to pour into your glass!
Then, the 5th glass!

The specifications are undisclosed, but the rice is grown by contract farmers in Yamanashi Prefecture 😊.
On the back of the label, it is described as "a refreshing dry taste with the umami of rice penetrating through"!
If that's the case, I think they should disclose the rice used for the sake...
Mellow aroma of grapes, just like Koshu sake!
The taste is as described, refreshing and dry ❗️.
It is a sake from a prefecture without sea, but it also goes well with Aji no Namenro 👍👍.

I love it 😍I'm so jealous!

Good evening, etorannzyu!
I was hoping for a different brand of Yamanashi since Shichiken is available in Fukuoka, but things don't always go well 😅.
