Junmai🍶 hiyaoroshi🍁.
Kire-Spicy. A hint of sweetness behind the greefiness. I like it 😊I like Naraman, but this is the first time I've had hiyaoroshi 😋.
The menu says, "It retains its freshness with rounded and angular notes, a good sense of maturity, and a clear, gentle aroma reminiscent of pears, apples, and bananas. It has a clear, gentle aroma reminiscent of pears, apples, and bananas.

Special Junmai 🍶Hiyaoroshi🍁 Nama Zuke ✨.
Crisp and sour ✨. Lemon🍋grefreshing. Surprisingly, it settles down with squid and carrots. Can be served with chashu. It takes it in. The dumplings spread the aroma instead.
The menu says, "A juicy mouthfeel reminiscent of pears and G-fruit. The ripeness that you can feel is wonderful." It was written as "Aizu, Kitakata, etc.

Special Junmai🍶Fuku no Kou✨20% Yamadanishiki🌾, 80% Fukunokou🌾.
A little heavy aroma, but not harsh. It is not harsh. It has a sweetness like cotton candy. Although it is dry +7, it also has a sweetness. The sweet seasoned Aizu specialty ika ninnin🦑🥕 raises the spiciness and increases the sharpness😋.
The restaurant's menu says, "Milky and fresh pear aroma. The milky and refreshing pear aroma, with a fresh sweetness and laid-back mellowness, makes for an appealing mouthfeel. The spiciness that spreads from the bottom of the palate gives it a broad depth." ✍️

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆.
Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots.
The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔.

Ginjo 🍶 Fukushima Prefecture Yume no Kaori 🌾.
Alcoholic on the palate 😳. It's like a sacred sake. But when you drink it, it's spicy but mild. Spicy citrus 🍊, acetate. The attack is softened by Aizu's specialty, ika carrots🦑. ☺️ Chashu pork also goes well. It tastes better while eating.

Junmai🍶sekirei🕊fukujima Prefecture Yumeko🌾.
Grefflish acidity and bitterness. Rather strong alcohol taste. When paired with Aizu Tenpou Miso's Morokyu🥒, the corners are removed and it mellows out. ☺️ It's a bittersweet taste. It is spicy when combined with squid carrots🦑🥕🤔Thanks for the handmade Kitakata ramen noodles with soy sauce flavor🍜😋.

Junmai Namaisake🍶.
Aroma is not too gorgeous and refreshing ✨Clear and sharp. Good amount of bitterness. Easy to match with meals. Fairly dry. A little bit of a seme smell when the temperature rises. Kitakata ramen soy sauce flavor to finish with dumplings and pickled bamboo shoots.

Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama 🍶Nakadori✨Tatsu Label No.2🐉Gohyakumangoku from Aizu🌾.
Dry with a strong umami. Soft and fruity on the palate. It is a combination of melon 🍈 and banana 🍌. When combined with morokyu miso, the harshness is softened and mellowed. The morokyu miso is superb 😆.
The miso ramen noodles I had to finish off the meal was quite mild. Milky. Just right with a dash of chili pepper as recommended 👍.

Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake🍶Karakuchi +10✨
Kirei, sharp✨, eye-opening😳, clear taste. Pair it with spicy miso (spicy miso with horse sashimi 🐴) to increase the spiciness and sharpness 😋. When combined with squid carrots, the sweetness is increased and the squid flavor is improved 😆.
Menu commentary: "Clear and beautiful. The aroma is of the Li and apple family, and the mouthfeel is fresh and crisp. The body is medium light with moderate sweetness and a dignified spiciness with bitterness. It has a good balance of youthful freshness and dignified spiciness."

Normal sake
The umami and acidity cling to the palate as you sip. It is a perfect match with Kitakata Ramen (soy sauce). More umami and sweetness. It was a very satisfying lunchtime Chinese drink 🎉.

Junmai Shiboritate Nama-Nagaroshu 🍶Usu-Nigori✨.
First time to visit a Kitakata Ramen restaurant in Jujo that I've been curious about for a while 😆The Kitakata Ramen is of course very delicious, but the lineup of Fukushima sake is amazing 😳I had a hard time deciding which one to try, so I went for my first Yamatoya Zennai. Refreshing✨, fruity, with a hint of lychee for sure. It was a dangerous drink that I could gobble up 😆 Very nice family owned store ✨.
