WOM
From Kanazawa to Tsuruoka, 460 km via Hakutaka, Shirayuki, and Inaho. It is a long way along the Sea of Japan. It is closer than Sendai, but takes about 1.5 times longer. Today is a travel day, so we took a walk in Niigata on the way. It is nice to take a leisurely trip.
When I asked at the tourist information center in front of the station about the best local sake stores, the first place I was introduced to was a supermarket called Shufu no Ten (Housewife's Store). It was indeed awesome.
We were also introduced to a highly recommended eatery, Yuu-zen, which is a great place to eat.
The information center was wonderful!
First, we were given a bottle of Wagamuji. Mild ginjo aroma, acidity and bitterness? I see what you mean, it is a food sake! Miyamanishiki is in its element, isn't it?
Thank you, sister, for the perfect accompaniments and Shonai sake!
