At Haneda Market in the basement of Hakata Station.
Dry and therefore refreshing in summer. It was a good comfort, and my legs went on to Chinese food and Hakata Ramen.
Relaxed seating in a tatami room.
- Simmered tongue flatfish
- Kawa-hagi sashimi
- Sashimi platter directly from Nagahama market, freshly cured
and a large plate of sashimi freshly caught at the Nagahama market. The sweet soy sauce and ponzu (Japanese citrus juice), which is typical of Kyushu, are a perfect combination for both chopsticks and sake.
Extensive sake menu. Sake cups are well chilled. Private room. A space where you can enjoy a leisurely cup of sake without being disturbed. The course menu includes grilled saury, tempura of pike conger eel (wrapped in a sheet of nori seaweed), beef sushi, and more. Beef sushi, etc. The course was served one portion at a time, which made the meal more elegant and natural, the banquet more relaxed, and the sake more drinkable....
A strong, full-bodied sake.
It goes well with dumplings, steamed burdock with miso, and other strong-flavored snacks.

The result was a dismal failure.
The results were disastrous.
The next effective water was also a dismal failure. No matter how drunk I was, I couldn't believe that I mistook the tap water in Tokyo for the tap water in Toyama.
Clean taste.
Accompanying it is a hearty plate of oden topped with Toyama's famous yam kelp. Tofu, fu, egg, and kamaboko (fish paste) go perfectly with the dashi broth. The all-you-can-eat course for 5,000 yen (!?!) is also available. There is also an all-you-can-eat course for 5,000 yen, so there is nothing to say about it.
The sake gacha is also an interesting experiment.
For people like me who can't drink a lot but want to drink sake, I am glad to see this experiment!
Sharing a bottle of "Korai-oh Junmai-shu" with everyone.
The bottle has a print of higanbana (cluster amaryllis) in the Kinchida rice paddy.
It is said to have a nice aroma...but I can't tell because of a stuffy nose.
We could tell that it was an elegant sake, and that the oiliness of fried food disappeared nicely.
Strong aroma. Light taste. Not puffy, mouth washed out, strong condiments?
This would be better warmed than hiya.
Serve with prosciutto jerky and figs pickled in sake.
