Lunch in Omiya on a weekday off. At Izumiya Honten, a landmark at the east exit of Omiya Station, which should be called a legacy of Showa-era bars established in 1947. I started with the famous stew (170 yen) and a large bottle of Sapporo Lager Akahoshi ⭐️. As a long-established bar, they don't carry trendy sake, and there was a possibility that even the brand name was unknown, but it was a new sake, freshly squeezed from the Meijo Sake Brewery. Bouken had already registered the brand name with ❗️, so I used "Meijo" to make it easier to search. It is a standard sake from Hyogo with a standard sake-like flavor that is suitable for this famous sake bar in Saitama. It also has a hint of sweetness and is very drinkable.

Hi Hiraccio 😃 Some products have Meijo on the label but I didn't find it when I searched 😅. Meijo Sake Brewery seems to be the largest producer in Himeji😊.

Good evening, bouken😊. Thank you very much for registering your great castle: ❗️ This store also had Kanbei nigori sake. It is the largest production in Himeji, isn't it?

First Meijo served lukewarm. It has a soft umami flavor and is crisp and clean. We had it with seared firefly squid (photo #3) in the Aki Yashiro set for the second day in a row.

Meijo Sake Brewery. Purchased at Daiei. I wondered if it was ultra-filtered, as is common with major sake breweries, since it was placed on the shelf at room temperature and was not marked as requiring refrigeration. It tastes like a gutsy, alky sake. It is slightly sweet and has a sharp alcohol stimulation. I think this is better on the rocks. It also has a gentle sweetness for its high alcohol content. Since the brand name is not written, I registered it with Meijo to make it easier to search.

華やかな吟醸香という文言だけど正直それ程でもないような…?純米大吟醸で1200円くらいなので価格なりの味なんかなぁ。大手メーカーみたいな味。

飲みやすい味だけど敢えてコレ選ぶ必要ないというか
