In 35 years of living in or visiting Japan I’ve never seen sake offered at a hotel for breakfast, ever. Since I’m on vacation and haven’t had a proper drink yet, yes, yes I did try all 3. 😋
My verdict was the Sugidama from Momokawa is the perfect balance for Japanese breakfast pairing. 👍 #japan #aomori #sake #wine
Note the sign says “Sake in the morning.”
