Sake from the Sakuryu Sake Brewery in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture; sake rice is locally grown Isehikari. I had never seen it before, so I bought it. It is crisp and dry, but fruity and easy to drink. There was also a version brewed with a different rice, Reihou, which is said to be more umakuchi.
After eating yakitori, the second restaurant is a standing drink 🙃✌️
I ordered Hakusei Nigori.
Nice to meet you!
I passed by the Kuryu Sake Brewery when I was in Sasebo, and I was happy to see them again here 😄.
I knew there was a connection 🤔.
Refreshing aroma of new sake
Slightly carbonated and crisp
Slightly sweet with a thick mouthfeel
Karasumi (dried mullet roe) to go with the sake
When I looked at the menu, I couldn't help but order the karasumi (dried squid) 😂.
It's my favorite so I couldn't resist 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭.
It's sticky, rich and very tasty!
Beautiful sake and good snacks👍
I'm so happy!
Good evening, Mr. Manachie.
Karasumi makes me want to drink sake 😆.
It seems to be common around Nagasaki and Kumamoto in Kyushu 🤭🤭.
I've seen it on the menu of almost every izakaya I've been to.
Kyushu's food culture is quintessential 😚.
Good evening, superbebe!
Karasumi is a specialty of Taiwan, and I'm glad you are satisfied with the karasumi here 🤗.
I also want to try to combine the karasumi with nigori sake...
Good evening, Haruei Chichi.
The process of making Japanese mustard is more careful
Pick out the threads and veins with a needle
Taiwanese mustard is not pre-treated 😑.
It is directly pickled in salt 🙃.
It doesn't affect the taste, but the finished product doesn't look so good 🫣.
This sake was recommended to us by the Kururyu Sake Brewery in Ego. We were told that it is best warmed up, so we boiled it in hot water. It tastes better lukewarm than hot. It is dry but has a soft sweetness that makes it easy to drink. It is reasonably priced and will be useful during the winter.
