The second sake was Eikun, a local sake from Fushimi.
It was a new sake for me, but it was a delicious, gentle sake that made the most of Fushimi's water, with a mellow flavor of rice!
The other day's trip
Date changes to Kyoto ✨
Kyoto sake with raw oysters 🍶.
I thought it was an aged sake, but it seemed light, sweet and easy to drink.
I thought about buying it as a souvenir, but gave up thinking it would be too much luggage 🫠.
By the way 🍶.
At "Daiyasu" in Nishiki Market.
The restaurant is called by a lively voice while cracking open oysters in front of the store.
I wanted to eat oysters! I had been to this restaurant before, so I went here to compare four kinds of raw oysters 😋.
It was too luxurious!
Yesterday, I went to Fushimi Baru.
I visited Fujiwara two years ago, a brothel-turned-restaurant with a great atmosphere. A large Eikun barrel is placed inside the counter, and you are served sake drawn from the barrel and poured into a glass. I don't know the name of the barrel, but it tastes great. It was a very tasty sake that went well with the excellent sashimi and tiojiru.
Gently sweet and fruity. It is refreshing and very tasty.
Today, I participated in the Kintetsu Hiking [Sake Brewery Tour]. The goal was Saito Sake Brewery of Eikun, my favorite sake brewery. I was so happy that I even bought a ballpoint pen.
I was told that this sake celebrates 2/22 "Cat's Day". Moreover, this sake was sold in a limited edition of 222 bottles.
