I came to visit and drank at the liquor store where I ask for the hanpukai.
It's like a hmmm hmmm.
Sake that comes twice.
It has a strong acidity and umami.
Not my favorite.
Hiroshima Trip Day 4
To Koriyama Castle in Aki Takata City
Visited only the Museum of History and Folklore due to heavy fog.
After that, we went to Takehara Machinami Preservation District.
A town that once prospered from salt manufacturing and sake brewing
We went to Fujii Sake Brewery in the town.
I had wanted to visit this brewery for the past few years, as I had received some of the brewery's products through a friend of the brewery 😊.
I told them about a brand I used to drink and liked, and they told me it was New Year's.
limited edition and
I was allowed to try a similar tasting!
Ryusei Yuragi no Nagi Limited
It has a soft sweetness and fruity taste. ❣️
Sake made from sake rice called Hachitan
They said it is different from Hachitan Nishiki 😳.
Oh yes, next to it is the Fujii Masamune that Hiro-san bought!
Nice Masamune in a whisper 👍🤣.
I was going to buy sake after lunch but forgot 😱.
Lunch was Junmai Ginjo Takehara-yaki!
Local okonomiyaki with Junmai Ginjo Sake Lees from Takekaku, Fujii, Nakao and other sake breweries kneaded into the dough!
It's a thin batter, but it was delicious with the aroma and sweetness of the sake lees 😊.
Takezuru-san on the top right of the 3rd picture is closed 😢.
That's the end of our fun trip to Hiroshima 🙇.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😋I love Hiroshima, both the sake and the food ❤I...have been holding off on a trip to Hiroshima for a bit 😅 because two times in a row when I decide to travel there, my relatives have a misfortune 💦I wish I could 💦♥️
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I see you went to Fujii Sake Brewery ❗️ and nice Masamune with a small voice👍🤣🤣
I was between the station and Masamune myself, but the weather was nice and you had a lot of fun exploring 👏 Takehara-yaki looks delicious too 😋.
Good evening, Pon 😀
Nice Masamune 😇
The sake looks delicious, but the okonomiyaki with sakekasu kneaded into it also looks delicious😇.
Sake and this okonomiyaki would make a great pairing😇
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
You are enjoying Hiroshima to the fullest, from Aki Takata to Takehara 😊.
I worked in Aki Takata until 5 years ago, so I am very familiar with the city.
The ruins of Koriyama Castle is a mountain castle, so climbing it is a good workout👍.
Good evening, Pon😊.
Sake, good food and castle tour from the brewery in Saijo! Sounds great 🥳I love it all 🤩.
I love it all 🤩 but I've been to Hiroshima many times but I go there for work so I haven't been able to see much 😢 Sounds like fun 🥰.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I love the sightseeing in Hiroshima, the ⛩️, the gourmet food in Hiroshima, the sake brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima 🍶 and the sake 😍.
Hiroshima is on my list for my annual spring trip too 😊.
I've been watching the NHK morning drama reruns of Massan and I'm interested in Taketsuru 😆.
Hi Ponchan 😊
I went on a trip to Hiroshima a long time ago, but I didn't have a picture of the sake 😅.
I only remember that oysters and sake are psycho~... 🤩.
Good evening, mariage 🦉.
That's not true 😳I'll have to refrain from that 🥺.
I've been in a sea-less prefecture since I was born, so I get excited when I go to places with good seafood 😆 I'm glad I got to try oysters too 梁 ❣️
Hi Hiro, good evening 🦉.
I was already right in front of Fujii Masamune and I was saying "ahhh" 😆 Nice Masamune was small though 🤣🙏Maiden? She was very talkative and kind 😊.
Good evening, chika 🦉.
It's been a long time 🤣I've been slacking for a long time, but now that I've calmed down a bit, I'll come back out again 😁Please take me up on it 😆🙏.
Good evening, Yasube!
Hiroshima okonomiyaki dough is like a thin crepe, so I thought it might not taste so good... but it is slightly sweet and delicious 😊you have to try it to know 😂.
Good evening, soumacho 🦉.
I see you were working here! I left early in the morning with the intention of going up, but it was so foggy that visibility was poor 😳I had to wait until the archives opened 😂.
Please let me know next time you go 🙇.
@Mizuhashi, good evening 🦉.
It's a bit of a flurry of research and preparation before I go, but it's still fun when I get there!
I would love to go back to Shinshu😊.
Good evening, Takashi 🦉.
I was sorry I couldn't make it to Izakaya Shinkansen because I was traveling by car most of the time 😢I was quite satisfied with all the food I wanted to eat, referring to the specialties you always have on offer 😆.
Ao, good evening 🦉.
I wanted to go to Takehara with Takekaku, but it was the last day, so I gave up 😢It's a great storehouse, so please go and see it 😊The town has a nice atmosphere 👍✨.
Good evening, Kano🦉.
I see you've been there! In my case, the stamp of the castle is it 😆 I've been to quite a few castles, but I didn't have a stamp book, so I'm revisiting many of them 😅.
If you go there again, I'll post a Sake-no-wa post!
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
This sake was made under the theme of "fire-brewed sake that is good to drink in summer."
It has a pleasant bitter aftertaste!
Since it is a summer sake, the mouthfeel is light and not too sweet, with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
At the usual restaurant
Sake Master asked for Sawanoi Red Label
I asked for Takehara's Ryusei
Both the aroma and the sharpness of the sake are very good 😆.
It has a fruity, junmai-like mouthfeel, but then comes a dry taste that makes the inside of the mouth feel hot. It has a light aftertaste, so I would like to drink it with a simple snack or as a mid-meal drink.
It goes well with octopus kimchi.
Dragon's Force (a.k.a. the dragon's force)
A little habitual!
I thought it was shiso plum, for a moment! Interesting!
There is sweetness, too! Not red rice?
