J&N, Kotori and I will drink a little more ⤴️ in Utsunomiya🐾 Part 8
It seemed like it was time to call it a night, but we went to one more bar at the station...
We compared 3 kinds of local sake...Higashi Rikishi!
It has a mild fruity aroma, a plump flavor, and a mild taste 😌.
Fujisawaya.
The aroma is lactobacillus type. When you drink it, you can gently taste sweetness, sourness, and umami. Although the alcohol content is 17%, it is a delicious sake that is easy to drink. We enjoyed it with grilled salted mackerel, chicken wing soup, and baked small basket. It is a delicious sake that is not too sweet, has a delicious flavor, and is smooth and easy to drink. Would you repeat it?
Tochigi Lunch - Night Out Drinking ①.
On Tuesday, I suddenly had a day off...
I decided to go to Kanuma! and we started our activities in the morning....
Kanuma is a city of 90,000 people in Tochigi 😅I'm sorry it's not a major place name like Kyoto 🙄.
Now, let's get back on track💦.
We took a bus 🚌 to "Micchan Soba" near Shin-Kanuma Station, which I had been curious about after watching Ujikakuten on YouTube! We arrived at our destination after about an hour's bus ride including connections🤗.
The restaurant opened at 11:30 and was packed right away. ‼️ We succeeded in getting a seat right after the opening!
We ordered Chilli Soba, Chilli Kakiage, and Chilli Soba Yaki Sushi.
And what was the fresh pickled vegetables served as a side dish? And what was the new pickled vegetables that came out as a side dish?
Yes, you know what it is 🤣.
If anything, this was the best chives I've ever had!
I added some spicy konjak and ordered a bottle of sake to fight off this army of chives.
It was a powerful opponent, but it had an earthy flavor that enveloped them all 😋.
We were very satisfied with the taste of everything 😋 and left Kanuma after a quick sightseeing tour of Shin-Kanuma station with its fairy-like atmosphere 😅 with the smell of chives wafting around us.
Tochigi Ai surrounded by chives 🥰.

Hi Jay & Nobby😃!
All the chives are awesome 🤩but they all look delicious 😋and the Tochigi Rikishi💪 that wraps around the chives looks strong (lol), a drink that would suit your taste buds 🍶Tochigi was famous for chives, wasn't it? I'll have to buy some Tochigi love chives: ❣️
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
This is it, the East Rikishi for lunchtime drinking 🍶 😋.
Chive soba & chive noodle soup looks delicious and fun 🥰.
I'm also a little curious about the shumai and strawberries in the picture 🧐.
Hi Dr. Jay & Dr. Nobby â
Chives stuffed with chives ❣️ looks delicious 🤤.
I also watched it on YouTube on the U-shaped YouTube channel: ‼️
Great review of nira 😆.
Tochigi has a lot of good food besides sake🍶☺️👍
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀.
[I'm curious about your [chives soba noodles] 😲.
It looks delicious with a little raayu in the soba sauce 😋!
And the sake to go with it, so much love for Tochigi 🥰, so many places to visit in Tochigi, I'd love to spend a couple of nights ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Weekday lunchtime drinking is a good way to enjoy sake 🎵.
Like you, I'm curious about the soba noodles with chives and chives kakiage ✨.
The Junmai sake is full of flavor and aromatic ingredients.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
My Kanuma would be Kanuma Dirt 🤔I see you are from chives 😳I don't like the smell but they are delicious 😆 I would love to try your soba noodles, yakisoba and oshinko 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
Actually, while I was collecting sake for the Nigorinpic, I was looking for Nigori, the two gorillas by Higashi Rikishi.
I was looking for a place to buy it, but finally couldn't find one that carried it 😅.
I'm jealous of Tochigi where I can drink it in a store 🤣.
Jay & Nobby I had never been to Kanuma! It's full of chives 😄It looks like it will cheer you up! I thought it would be difficult to find a sake to go with chives, but I guess it's the local sake, Higashi-Rikishi. I knew it. Local sake with local food!
Hi Gyve 😃.
Chive soba is a specialty of Kanuma! I see 🤔 that kind of arrangement sounds delicious too 😋We're looking forward to seeing you on your Tochigi tour with consecutive nights 👋
Hi ma-ki-😃
Lunchtime drinking on a weekday is bliss 🤗.
The leek kakiage was made with leek stems and was delicious 😋 and the matching tohokuji was goo👍.
Hi Pon 😃
You're right, the Kanuma clay might be famous 🤗 everything was delicious, but the chives smell that wafted out from itself was also quite something 😆 but I guess the delicious 😋 wins!
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
This is full of leek! If you are worried about bad breath, you can't eat this 🤣I had an image that To Rikishi was a little spicy and tasty, so I was drooling when I read this. I was drooling when I read that... 🤤.
Hi there, kozo 😃
I think the leek smell had been wafting for a while 😆 I can't help but think it was delicious 😋 and the East Rikishi that wrapped it up was perfect 😚.
I don't drink that much Nigoli, but the eye-catching gorilla label 🦍and it's pink 😂.
Nigoli=two gorillas?...two gorillas on the label 😝.
Something I bought and brought home 😆.
East Rikishi
This pattern says "be careful when opening the bottle"...,
I opened the bottle with great trepidation...
When I put it in my mouth, there is a slight shriek.
Niggly and coarse on the tongue (of course 🤣)
Tiny little lumps.
Sweetness, sourness?
On the second day, it's a little rounder.
But it's 19-20% alcohol, so I feel drunk 🥴.
The degree of thickening increases 🥴! I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not 🫨.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
Yes, it's a Tochigi sake 😋I still have a lot of them I haven't drank yet, so I'll do my best 😆.
By the way, having a lunchtime drink with a couple on a weekday is great 🥰.
Good evening, Takashi 🌙
I saw this To Rikishi 🦍 at a liquor store and was curious about it 😁It's full of oli 🤭 It's the kind that makes you drunk before you know it if you drink it with a thump 🤣.
Good evening, Kotaro!
I was curious about the pattern too, so I bought it 😆.
The transparent part was only visible for a little bit before opening the bottle, then it didn't show up at all the next day 🤣.
Really soft.
Slightly ripe, rice flavor, richness.
The flavor spreads smoothly in the mouth.
Delicious!
Rare news tuna sashimi also goes well with sake.
4/5 for my favorite!
It was a delicious rice flavor explosion sake.
I liked it.
But I was "excited" to talk about something else while drinking it, so I'm not sure how I'd rate it.
Purchased on a trip to Nikko for the train on the way home. The aroma is honjozo-like, but it has a sweetness unique to nama-shu and is quite easy to drink. While drinking the sake, I was immersed in the memories of my trip.
The brewery has a cave, where the sake has spent the summer, so I had high expectations for this sake!
I didn't heat it up, but I think it tastes good that way too.
I didn't heat it up, but I think it tastes good too. I regretted it later 😓.
I drank it mostly at room temperature and found it refreshing and flavorful. It tastes so heavy that you don't feel the 14 degrees.
See you next year ❗️
