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 you know...
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 6th glass!
Kaisen Tokubetsu Junmai Gen no Sake
Sake from Fussa, Tokyo
The sake brewery must have a lot of confidence in their sake, since they proudly call it "Genki-no-shu" 😁.
The store didn't replenish in time, so it's almost at room temperature, but here goes!
Not bad!
More rice flavor than sweetness.
Smooth on the palate.
Finishes with a firm kick.
Slightly dry
It also goes well with horse mackerel. ❗️
