Tsugaru no Sakedokoro Watami — Restaurant in Hirosaki

This place is amazing! The food reasonably priced, widely diverse and unanimously delicious. The real stand out though is their sake selection from around the area, try asking for a tasting flight to try 3 cups at a time. I highly reccomend trying 'amaguchi osusume' for sweet, 'karakuchi osusume' , for dry, and my personal favorite the 'nama muroka genshu bakuhatsu aji' for a diverse collection of flavors from across the aomori area. While the menu is in Japanese, you can literally point and shoot and it will be good.

The staff were incredibly knowledgable, considerate, kind, and willing to work through cultural and language barriers to provide one of the best dining experiences I can remember. I seriously cannot reccomend this place highly enough!

10/10, will go again as soon...

We had a wonderful dinner here. The staff are kind, helpful and patient. The atmosphere is fun - the labels on the walls around the bar were interesting to look at and there was beautiful serving ware including locally made glasses. Most importantly, the food was delicious. We had a great range of dishes, including some local specialties (we especially loved the igamenchi). There was also a wide range of local sake. We loved...

Honestly, I knew nothing about Aomori food-besides apples- until I visited (the prefecture for the first time and) this place 5/2022. Awesome. Went with friends after their wedding… good amounts, good price, cozy with enough privacy, little wait for the food, lots and lots of sake to choose from; really enjoyed comparing tastes. This is where I discovered how wonderful Aomori local cuisine is! I would love...
