Nice little restaurant. The selection of sake is also interesting.
The hiyaoroshi, which is only available at this time of year, is just right for drinking as a mid-meal drink.
Nagano sake series.
I fell in love with the label at first sight. When poured into a sake cup, it is surprisingly light yellow. The gap between the two is also nice.
A drink I had at a nice Robatayaki restaurant I found in Shinjuku.
The "mori no lebasashi" (liver sashimi from the forest), along with the amitake mushrooms, left a lasting impression on my taste buds.
Local sake since I came to Kurume.
At the left party's sacred place.
Even though it is called "very dry" sake, it does not taste tense. It is easy to drink and does not interfere with the taste of the meal.
Rare double label. A must for slam dunk lovers.

It has a delicious flavor with a clean aftertaste, and is suitable for a mid-meal drink.

Hikakami Super Dry Junmai Sake
Sake made for sushi
Dry but not sharp. Delicious.
I served it with a bowl of sea bream.
Iburi goko (pickled ginger) is used as a secret ingredient.
And five pieces of nigiri.
Sea bream
Seared sardine
horse mackerel
fatty fish
Kasugo (small sea bream)
Good with kabosu
It has a strong flavor. But it is basically dry. The aftertaste is refreshing.
I had Spanish mackerel cutlet with it. The tartar sauce is made on the spot → you can really taste the fresh tartar sauce.
Clear! Oh my god, it's so good, I drink too much.
My favorite brand in Fukuoka.
I had the seared saury with Japanese mustard. It was delicious! It goes well with kabosu and mustard.
The name of this sake is "Poseidon." The impact of the label made me wonder how strong its character would be, but it is as refreshing as water. It is easy to drink.
Don't underestimate it just because it is a honjozo.
It is too easy to drink. It is so refreshing, it is like water.
I served it with Ito mozuku vinegared rice.
Kijoshu is made by adding sake instead of brewing water. The sugar is not broken down into alcohol, but remains, leaving a mellow sweetness that makes for a luxurious drink. But putting aside my knowledge of sake, this was the first time for me to drink kijoshu.
It is true that the aroma is fruity and sweet, but the aftertaste is refreshing. The slight effervescence was like champagne. I was immersed in a feeling of elegance.
Because it is sweet and easy to drink, it tends to increase in quantity if you are not careful. This is a drink that I would like to have with dessert before or after a meal, not during a meal.
It has a gorgeous aroma and full flavor that is typical of junmai ginjo. If drunk chilled, it has a cool, refreshing taste that will make you sweat. Recommended for midsummer.
At first glance, the menu is a mystery: a set of senmai sashimi and a cup of garden warbler for 1,000 yen.
But when I paired them together, I was convinced. The senmai sashimi is served with sesame oil and salt, and the crisp, dry sake neutralizes the oil in the mouth. It also went well with the eel sushi served as an appetizer.
