Sakana to Sake Hanatare Yokohama Higashiguchi — Restaurant in Yokohama

The WORST dining experience in the entire trip.

This izakaya advertise themself for specialty sake (you can find photos everywhere, on google map, on their storefront windows etc.) they even have all the Jikon and 新政 bottles lined up in the most visible spots in their counter/shelf. However, when asked for any of these specialty sake, the answer is simply: sorry we can’t sell them today.

What makes it worse is that clearly they have those in stock, they just don’t want to sell them to you as a tourist. We felt being discriminated against. And it is not because of the server, it is primarily a say of the leader chef of this place. To give a clear example, after being told that they don’t have any of the specialty drinks that day, we went ahead and ordered another regular sake. The waiter later on came back and told us that they have Jikon if we want, and then the other chef behind the counter clearly gives the waiter that eye signal that no, it cannot be sold to us. I don’t know what is the issue with this particular chef and why he does not want to do the business. Regardless, I would NOT recommend this place to anyone who come for specialty drinks. It is fake advertisement, weird environment, unfriendly people. The food was okay, but totally not worth it and I regret a lot going. Simply don’t come if you are tourists. Plus, the place was half empty at dinner time, probably...

2019.03.15 Warm dinner with "Never get drunk" at Hana Tare, a Japanese restaurant near Yokohama station (East exit).

My Beloved husband booked the Drink buffet course (~6,000 yen each) with Angler-fish Hot pot. It is my first time to having "Angler-fish" or "Goose - fish" Ankou アンコウ　in Japanese. This fish has delicious taste what is opposite with the face !!! It seems like I ate Collagen without oily. I love it.

Other dishes such as Sashimi - raw fish, deep-fried oysters and side-dish like salad are Good and tasty, too.

According to the place mat; Hanatare 魚と酒　はなたれ serve fish - seafood and vegetables, everyday fresh from Miura City, Kanagawa prefecture. They have special Sake liqueurs from whole Japan.

I recommended 9/10 for fish lovers !!!

酔っ払い（ない）グループが横浜駅の東口の近くへ魚と酒　はなたれ　レストランを飲み放題コースを取りました。

私たちのコースはアンコウ鍋です。今回、私は初めてアンコウを食べました。アンコウの肉がコラーゲンと同じたと思いました。アンコウの形時は怖いですか美味しいです。

他の料理　例えば　刺身、かき揚げ、薩摩揚げ、サラダなども美味しかった。

毎日早朝は横浜中央市場へ、そのあと三浦半島のその日水揚げ『朝どり地魚』と三浦の新鮮『地野菜』を仕入れに。だからこそできるお刺身日替りメニュー。【酒マニアが選ぶ、全国の日本酒『地酒』もガンガン入荷！】神奈川の地酒、相模灘や天青を始め、醸し人九平次、王禄、鳳凰美田etc..皆さんご存知の銘柄からマニアックな地酒まで入ってます！...
