Next is Asakai's fresh-stored sake.
Well, it is a honjozo.
It's been so long that I forgot what it tasted like, so I ordered it.
We had it at a yakiniku restaurant called "Mororokaku" in front of Morioka Station.
At first, I took a sip... 😓.
Well, it tasted astringent or something, and it didn't go down smoothly.
I wondered how it would taste with grilled meat. So I grilled some meat and tried drinking it, but it just didn't go well with it.
I can't say whether it would have been better to have it heated up.
Well, I guess it's just like they put it there because it's a local sake?
I gave up and switched to a highball. 😅
By the way, we were told that reservations are not available during Golden Week, so we waited in line for an hour.
My second son, who was coming back from Tokyo, arrived at Morioka station at 9:00 a.m., so the only place open was a yakiniku restaurant if we wanted to give him a good meal.
The only two restaurants in front of the station were Mororokaku and Pyonpyonsha, so we had to be prepared to wait in line.
At Seiroukaku, the rule is that if the waiter calls you and you don't answer, you have to cancel immediately! So we were glad that we could get in earlier than expected.
However, we were able to get in at 8:30, so we had to wait in line for a while for "Yaki-Yasai (grilled vegetables)" (smiles).
