From September 28 to 30, the owner of my favorite yakitori restaurant, his staff, my wife and I went to Korea!
It was our first visit to Korea, and it was hard work, but we had a great time eating and playing casino for the first and last time in our lives. I had a great time at the casino for the first and last time in my life!
We stayed at a hotel near Kansai International Airport for an early flight, and had a dinner at the first Kura for the first time on Saturday!
Kikuhime by Kikuhime Limited Partnership!
This time it was a junmai sake brewed in Yamahai style!
Let's start with the sake!
First, the aroma. The aroma is refreshing, but it smells like old-fashioned sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the traditional sake-like taste, and then you will feel the fruity taste with a hint of sweetness.
From there, it has a lingering aftertaste with a complex flavor like richness.
It is easy to drink and very delicious!
The third picture is a dinosaur that greeted us at a strange hotel near Kansai Airport!
Hi, ma-ki-san 😌.
I've only had hiyaoroshi Kikuhime, but the yamahai looks delicious 😋.
I've only had hiyahoroshi, but yamahai sounds delicious! 🤔
Also, the mysterious dinosaur is cute!
Hi ma-ki-😃and welcome back ✈️

The kejang looks so delicious, I'm jealous 🤤.
Kikuhime, I had a drink about 10 years ago and I have the impression that the heated sake was delicious 👀.
Hi ma-ki-😃
Your trip to Korea sounds like fun ❣️ I've never been to Korea myself, but the hot pot and barbecued meat looks delicious 😋The dishes make me want to bring my own Chrysanthemum Princess 😆.
Welcome back, ma-ki-😊.
I hope your trip to Korea with your friends and family was a nice refreshment 👍The food all looks delicious 😻.
I only drink nigori and would like to experience this too 😁.
Good evening, ma-ki-!
It sounds wonderful and fun that you are traveling ✈️ with your favorite yakitori restaurant 🥹❤️
I'm most curious about the dinosaur🦖 that greeted you at the strange hotel😳.
ma-ki-, good evening 🌛Welcome back ✨That's great that you traveled to Korea with the owner and the waitress 😳I guess there is no sake 🍶I'm really interested in Kikuhime, the nigori with a great cosy taste 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki.
It's a wonderful relationship between a restaurant owner and a customer to be able to go to Korea👍.
The meal in the picture looks delicious 😋.
Ishikawa, I haven't had a drink 😅.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
I'm jealous of your trip to Korea😍Kangjangkejang and Sanggijangjangtang look delicious 🤤Chrysanthemum Princess had a dry-like name but it has a modern place too! Strange Hotel Sendai had a samurai w

I'm glad you had a good time 😊.
I'm glad you had a good time 😁.
Thank you very much, Afio-san!
You drank hiyaoroshi, didn't you?
Yes, it was a bit dry at first, but it was a very tasty sake. I thought it was dry, but it was a delicious sake 🤗.
Dinosaurs can talk 😁✨✨✨
Thank you, Cheesta!
It was my first time to try cajun, but the sauce was so good I was screaming for sake 😁✨✨!
Oh Kikuhime, it sure looks good heated up 🤤!
I'll definitely give it a try if I get the chance 🤗
Thank you, Hiro!
I enjoyed my trip to Korea 🎵.
It was my first time in Korea and I was so impressed with the takganmari!
I was also screaming for sake while eating 😁✨✨.
Thank you so much, Pon!
This time the owner and waitstaff guided us all the way and we just ate our way through the trip 😁✨✨.
Kikuhime's nigori also looks delicious ⤴️
This was a great sake that went well with the meal too 😋!
Thank you, Mr. Muro!
I can't thank the owner and the staff of the yakitori restaurant enough ✨.
The food tour was a lot of fun too 🎵
I'm curious about the dinosaur in the weird hotel 😁.
Thank you Nao888!
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be traveling with the generals, so I think it's great for me 😲.
In Korea, I was screaming while eating that I wanted to drink sake 😁.
I want to drink nigori!
Thank you very much, Bosuke!
I too am amazed at how great it is to travel with the store owners 😲.
This time we ate every 2 to 3 hours 😁.
I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding a good variety of sake in Ishikawa Prefecture 🤗.
Thank you, ichiro18!
I enjoyed my trip to Korea 🎵.
As you can tell, I was especially impressed with the kangjangkejang and takganmari 🤤.
The first time I went to Kikuhime, contrary to its appearance? It was a great sake 😋!
Samurai 😁.
Thank you Masaaki Sapporo!
We had a blast on our food tour of Korea and all the food was delicious 😋!
Yes, the owners know a lot about Korea, so we had a lot of fun with the food that was sure to be delicious 🤗.
Thank you, Jive!
It was a gratifying trip to Korea bombing that was made possible by the personality of the owner and staff of my favorite yakitori restaurant: ✈️
I never knew about the strange hotels before, but they are actually breeding all over the country 🤣.
Thank you Kano!
The trip to Korea bombing food was great ⤴️
I know - it's hard to travel when you have a family 💦.
I had a sake before I left because I knew I wouldn't be able to drink sake for 2 days 😋.
Thank you, Yuki!
I went to Korea for the first time ~ ✈️
This trip was a culinary explosion, with meals every 2 to 3 hours, guided by the owner and waitstaff, but everything was delicious 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃!
Traveling to Korea 🇰🇷 with your favorite restaurant! What a great relationship 🥹I might want to go to the casino 🎰 dreaming of winning a bomb 😆.
Thank you Jay & Nobby!
I never thought I'd see the day I'd get to travel with the generals too🎵
It's all about the generals' personalities🍀.
The casino was fun 💰️
You should definitely go there 😁✨✨!
Sake-like sweet aroma
Liquid color is light yellowish.
It does not have a strong smell of alcohol.
Slight sweetness in the mouth with a bitter aftertaste.
Sourness is just a little while drinking.
The taste is light, but it has a strong flavor.
It has a sharp aftertaste and disappears quickly.
Taste is in the lineage of what I like as a food sake.
Serve with sushi.
It has a strong flavor and goes well with sushi.
☀️
It is hokuhoku with sweetness, umami and ginjo aroma. ☺️
The sake is mellow, but each piece is well-made and carefully crafted 🤗.
Even though it is mellow, it went perfectly with sushi 👌.
This is indeed Ishikawa sake 🍶😊.
Fourth or fifth drink outside.
The hiyayoroshi was so good that I had another x2.
We had ice cream and onigiri (rice balls), so it was hard to finish 🤣.
It was a delicious event to celebrate the restaurant's anniversary and all 9 kinds of Kikuhime were offered at half price 🥳.
Second drink outside.
We received another open bottle of sake 🥳.
We were lucky to have a large bottle available yesterday. It is mellower and more mature than hiyaoroshi. Delicious.
