Timeline
もふりーとSo after work, it's weekend drinking time! Today we went to Fujiki Shoten in the Ikebukuro area for the first time in a while.
We started with a summer sake. Ginban Special Junmai Summer Limited Edition. It has an astringent taste when it first starts, but later on, refreshing acidity and umami follow. This kind of sake is very summery. TonyLychee-like aroma, elegant sweetness on the palate, and finally a spiciness on the tongue! TonyIt had a gorgeous apple-like aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the elegant sweetness spread out and seemed to disappear with a tangy, spicy feeling underneath. It also went well with rape blossoms with vinegared miso. じまじろうIt was quite tasty!
My favorite! maruAll-you-can-drink sake from 47 prefectures.
You can pour your favorite sake from the refrigerator by yourself, so if you like sake, you will enjoy it very much.
However, the pouring place is at the entrance of the restaurant, which is very cramped with people coming and going.
It was a pity that the seat we were shown to was also very small. fukuchaneKagoshima, Okinawa, and Miyazaki...
I have a hard time ^_^. maruMr. FUKUCHANE
I'm having a hard time 💦.
I wanted to drink Okinawa Prefecture, but it was out of stock that day... fukuchaneI have a tentative plan, but I had to pass it up because I could only find expensive ones. pyonpyonI went there to see if they had Reimei, but they said it was out of stock today 😭 I got back on track and had Kumamoto Bishonen & Kagoshima Tenpyo 😭 👍️ Bishonen, clear and dry ❤️3 If you drink more than 2 glasses, I think the all you can drink course is a good deal. My companion doesn't drink much Sake so we left after 2 glasses💦.
Back to the nearby bar🍸️✨There's a stylish bar above the cafeteria where you don't have to be a student to enter👀‼️ sorry no sake💦we did get to see Hachiko🎵🐕️ ポンちゃんHello pyonpyon☀.
It's Tokyo, but it's Tokyo, so it's a sake life 😁 and only one thing left to do 😳‼️
Is it a stylish BAR, Todai! pyonpyonGood evening Ponchan😃Okinawa is the only one missing and I had to give up my national tour 😅The trendy bar is on the University of Tokyo campus😃You have to know someone to get there and I'm surprised that the bar is on campus in the first place 😲‼️ よしGood place ❣️
I finally made it around the country♪
Complete with sake from Okinawa and Kagoshima
4/5 よしOkinawa is acquired!
Kagoshima remains!
3/5 遥瑛チチAfter enjoying sake tasting in Kawagoe, we wandered around Nakano Broadway and had an early dinner at an Afghan restaurant "Caravanserai Bao" in Higashi-Nakano (featured in Season 3 of "Gourmet of Solitude").
The spicy seasoned lamb is very tasty and Japanese favorite!
But...
They don't have any sake on hand 😂.
That's why we had to drink at the same time!
We went to Fujiki Shoten Ikebukuro Honten located at the east exit of Ikebukuro station.
This store has sake from all 47 prefectures!
Tokyo is amazing!
You can get anything you need.
We immediately tried the 90 minute all-you-can-drink course ❗️.
It's completely self-serve and you decide how much you want to pour into your glass!
Then the 10th drink!
SABA de SHU
Saba de Shu is a sake brewed in Ibaraki Prefecture and specially made for mackerel!
Isn't there a lot of such sake these days⁉️?
Well, it doesn't matter 😁.
I don't know the specs, but it looks like it's alsobeerated.
I wonder if it's suitable for my taste.
I'll try it again with the horse mackerel lickety-split
Even Asoe is convinced!
It is a very good combination of the fatty blue fish and the backstrap throw ❗️.
It's not just a fish, it's a fish that is flushed cleanly!
It's so refreshing and manly 👍!

Wakatsuru Dry Gen Platinum Label
The concept of "Gen" is to create a sake that is not boring to the taste of Genin people!
That may be true 😊.
The flavor is centered on the deliciousness of the rice.
The taste spreads in the mouth
The bitterness is also crisp and clean
It brings out the best of the meal

Kaisen Tokubetsu Junmai Gen no Sake
Sake from Fussa, Tokyo
The sake brewery must have a lot of confidence in their sake, since they proudly call it "Genki-no-shu" 😁.
The store didn't replenish in time, so it's almost at room temperature, but here goes!
Not bad!
More rice flavor than sweetness.
Smooth on the palate.
Finishes with a firm kick.
Slightly dry
It also goes well with horse mackerel. ❗️

Shichiken Junmai Furin Bizan
The specifications are undisclosed, but the rice is grown by contract farmers in Yamanashi Prefecture 😊.
On the back of the label, it is described as "a refreshing dry taste with the umami of rice penetrating through"!
If that's the case, I think they should disclose the rice used for the sake...
Mellow aroma of grapes, just like Koshu sake!
The taste is as described, refreshing and dry ❗️.
It is a sake from a prefecture without sea, but it also goes well with Aji no Namenro 👍👍.
etorannzyuGood evening here too😃
I love Nanaken, but I can't buy it near me and rarely drink it 😭
I love it 😍I'm so jealous! 遥瑛チチGood evening, etorannzyu!
I was hoping for a different brand of Yamanashi since Shichiken is available in Fukuoka, but things don't always go well 😅. 遥瑛チチAfter enjoying sake tasting in Kawagoe, we wandered around Nakano Broadway and had an early dinner at an Afghan restaurant "Caravanserai Bao" in Higashi-Nakano (featured in Season 3 of "Gourmet of Solitude").

Junmai Ginpu Kunimare
Sake from (supposedly) Japan's northernmost sake brewery!
I went there twice!
The spring water from Mt. Shokanbetsu is used as brewing water, and you can pump it out freely at the brewery!
The water was soft and tasty👍
Now this time
Aroma that reminds you of a sharp and dry taste
It's the same on the palate!
It has a full-bodied, bitter flavor and a great sharpness, making it totally dry!
Perfect with fatty horse mackerel 👌
It is a great skill to catch the fat, pour it out, and refresh your tongue 👍. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
