念願の初訪問♪　貝尽くしで日本酒三昧。 : Akoya

This one has been pickled quite a bit since BM. My wish came true and this was my first visit. Reserve the 8,000 yen course. I was taken to the counter in the open kitchen. The draft beer was Edelpils. Edelpils is particular about it. I wonder if a sharp, refreshing pils wouldn't interfere with the delicate flavor of the shellfish. First of all, before the meal, we were served [b: clam and clam soup]. Contains sea lettuce. A warm soup filled with the flavor of shellfish. It warms your stomach before you drink it. [b: Sashimi platter, flat shellfish, white shellfish, red shellfish] Actually, it's not that I can't eat it, but I don't like the red shellfish sashimi. I tried this one to see if I could overcome it. There is no unpleasant shellfish odor (shore odor). sweetness and flavor. Wow. Yeah! Red shellfish are so sweet. Is this what delicious red shellfish tastes like? And the taste of red shellfish that I learned for the first time. White clam shell This is my number one natural enemy (lol) Although this one's rockyness has been somewhat suppressed, unfortunately it has not reached the level of overcoming it. [b: Raw Oyster from Hyogo Murotsu] Although they are small, they are packed with flavor. As soon as I saw Oyster, I knew it was sake! and. [b: Tenmei Shibori] Sweet and refreshing taste, you can drink this. It's dangerous~ [b: 3 types of snacks: Red bean liver, shellfish namerou, and simmered turban shells] The red bean liver is a must. It was great to have some Japanese sake. My favorite namerou is made from shellfish. Irresistible anymore. This is a liquor thief. Turban shells, tsuboyaki, and sashimi are common, but did you come with umani? Soft boiled turban shells. I like it ♡ They have a wide variety of sake menus. There are many alcoholic beverages that I don't know about. I mainly chose drinks that I don't normally drink. [b: Tsuneyama Tobi Junmai Ginjo Dry] I was surprised that such a dry taste could be made with Junmai Ginjo. Drinks like water without getting stuck anywhere. It's easy to drink, but boring (lol) [b: Matsumi Tori Dragon Year Label Junmai Ginjo Namazake] Alcohol 18% The menu said Dragon Year Label, so I chose it based on the name. I thought it was a dragon drawn on it, but it turned out to be a cute cartoon-like dragon. It's so cute lol The taste doesn't make you feel like it's 18% alcohol. There are two types of shellfish grilled from here. 1st [b: Grilled Surf Shellfish with Bonito Sake Thief] Pair the lightly grilled northern shellfish with bonito sake sake. Drink sake! It's like a snack exchange. [b: Grilled clams (large clams) with green seaweed] The size is so big that I thought it was a clam. A nice scent of green seaweed. Green seaweed alone makes a good side dish. [b: Chawanmushi with shellfish soup] A luxurious chawanmushi that uses only shellfish soup stock and no ingredients. Smooth and well-steamed. Also, since I had dinner and information to finish the meal, I wanted to pick some more (and drink more) so I added some more. [b: Fried clams 800 yen] A couple next door was eating it and it looked delicious. Literally, it's fried clams. You can pick it up like a snack. This is a menu I would like to share with my mother, who runs a local Izakaya (Japanese-style bar). [b: Mutsu Hassen New Year's celebration sake] I heard that it was a limited edition of my favorite Mutsu Hassen, so I chose it. A gorgeous aroma and taste. It feels a little foamy. Add one more dish. [b: Shirako ponzu sauce 1200 yen] I'm a big fan of Shirako. It would be a waste not Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) order Seafood at a izakaya this season! ! So, I ordered at this timing. It's fine. Eat what you like. There's no clutter here either. Super creamy texture. When ordering this Shirako, please ask for the sake that goes well with it. and recklessly. At this time, I didn't miss the shop owner who had a fearless smile on his face. [b: Afuri Rain] From outside the menu. Junmai sake produced by lactic acid fermentation. Quite sour. I've never had Junmai sake with such a strong sour taste, and when I looked at the label, it was 90% polished. It's almost like rice. 90%. If that happens, will sake become this sour? And when you combine this with Shirako, what a surprise! ! ! Strangely enough, the sourness turns into umami, bringing out the creaminess of the milt. The shop owner, who has a very unique appearance, has come up with a combination of sake that goes beyond anything I could have imagined. Hey, it fits, right? A face. Finally [b:Snowman Tochigi Senkin] Just a little more, so please be kind. . Cloudy. Sweet and mellow. [b:Kamameshi shellfish mix] You can't finish your meal without eating this kamameshi. The visual of the rice being cooked is irresistible. Delicious rice packed with the flavor of shellfish. Even after drinking so much, I can still eat a lot. I had a second helping, and finished off with a beer to cleanse my palate. Phew. I'm full. Before you know it, it's closing time. Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) where you can forget about time and enjoy all the shellfish you can eat. It's a cozy place, and I think you can just stop by and have a la carte food. Let's go to Abusan in Koenji, another sister store that has BM!
