[Leaving Sakatsuya, I went to the former Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in Kanayama to see the "Giant Robots of Japan" exhibition.
From there, we went on a tour of liquor stores, including the main store of Sake Sendo Horiichi, and ended up at one of Nagoya's most famous izakayas (Japanese-style pubs).
[Oijin Honten, a restaurant that is mentioned in Mr. Kazuhiko Ota's books as one of the most famous izakayas in Nagoya.
Of course, we had a glass of this izakaya.
Kamotsuru Barrel Sake
[This sake is said to be limited edition and is served hot.
The aroma of rice flavor rises softly, and the mouthfeel is gentle and delicious, with the aroma of hinoki cypress, which is typical of barrel sake, and then it finishes with a lingering wooden aroma that brings out the best.
The four-ton barrels were emptied in one night, and the sake is so popular that it is shipped in from Hiroshima every day!
The warming staff warms the sake at the perfect time, which is also very intoxicating!
The octopus stew was served with the delicious flavor of octopus and the dashi broth, which made the sake go down endlessly!
The entrée is served buffet style, with freshly prepared dishes being served as they are served.
The fun of going to get your own entrée and finding the right one for your sake is truly a wonderland for sake drinkers 🎢!
Good evening, Mr. Jaive 😃.
Yes, speaking of Mr. Gyve, it was a live check-in drinking terror 🤣.
I've never heard of this place before, but it's an awesome place just by looking at their website 🍶.
I'd love to visit ☺️, it's like a drinker's paradise 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyves.
I am proud to say that I have been to my fair share of izakayas that are considered great restaurants, but there has never been one where I felt that everyone was really enjoying their drinks with a great deal of enthusiasm. A true great restaurant ✨
Hi Aladdin!
In Mr. Kazuhiko Ota's book, he wrote that "Daijin Honten" is the pinnacle of izakaya (Japanese style pub).
The fact that the restaurant opens at 3:45 p.m. and is almost fully booked right away is a testament to its popularity!
Hello Jurian!
Everyone is enjoying their drinks at their own pace and with the people around them without making too much noise, that bright and bustling atmosphere is really cozy and intoxicating 🥰.
You can't miss this place when you come to Nagoya ✨.
Hi Jive 🐦.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen you on Ota's show 🥹I'm really jealous of you😊I'm amazed you were able to get in 😳👍and whatever you put in, it's a great restaurant✨.
This Honjozo "Honjo-Karakuchi" has received high praise at the National Heated Sake Contest.
It has won gold medals four times in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2020, and the highest gold medal in 2013.
It is a dry Honjozo sake with a beautiful smooth throat. It is said to be "the best of the best". I drank it in hiya and got the impression that it was only spicy.
