Yesterday, I was in Tochigi, Japan for a trip to Kinugawa & Utsunomiya ✨.
I came to Tochigi again this year!
From the Spacia to Kinugawa Onsen, Nikko Maitake mushrooms, Utsunomiya Gyoza.... We have been enjoying our trip every year 👍.
And this time, we had "Kibuna" with gyoza again. It has a good sweetness and richness with a touch of sugarcane, and a refreshing dry sharpness. It was an excellent combination that synchronized and reset the flavor of the gyoza!
It was a bit of a downpour, but it was also fun to enjoy the hot spring while listening to the sound of the rain. We are also looking forward to the souvenir sake we got..!

I couldn't see the label so I asked for it and was reunited with it.
It's a beguiling full-flavored mirin type, eyebrow-raising sweetness.
Smooth texture.
I think people who like it like it.
But I don't like it.
I think it goes well with the sweet sauce "Uzaku".
It has a sour taste.
Degree of preference ☆1.5/5

GW's trip to Tochigi Part ⑬
We had Shikizakura purchased at Hitomi Sake Shop 😋.
The aroma is mild, but you can taste the rice flavor in your mouth 😊It seems a little dry, but it is a delicious sake that is refreshing and easy to drink 😚👍✨.
Jay & Nobby, good morning ☀️ 😀 I bought a lot of Tochigi sake 😊.
The Tochigi sake I bought at the liquor store will be gone in a few more bottles😵💫I'm sad😭
I received this as a gift from my father on a trip to Tochigi.
It was refreshing and easy to drink, but the sweetness (bitterness?) of the rice came through in the aftertaste. It is easy to drink and refreshing, but the sweetness (bitterness?) of the rice is well conveyed in the aftertaste.
Souvenir sake from Tochigi. Last one.
I don't often drink junmai sake, but it's a souvenir.
The aroma is a bit weak, but when you drink it, you can taste the rice flavor.
If it is good, a four-pack of sake will be empty in no time.
This one was fast, too.
The umami of the rice comes in a gust of flavor, and then flows with a touch of sourness.
I rushed to the store 30 minutes before closing time at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival and bought this bottle at the storehouse where bouken and Nemuchi picked it up for me.
It is made from rice called "Tochigi-no-Hoshi," which has a strong flavor with a clean aftertaste and is easy to drink 💡.
The label also had a little sparkle to it, making it one of the more eye-catching bottles in the line ✨.

Utsunomiya's LRT seems to be doing moderately well. p
I am happy to see that this public transportation system, which passes near my alma mater, is doing well.
So, I will have the LRT 1st anniversary commemorative can.
The contents are Shikizakura special junmai, which is medium smooth and tasty.
It is a bit pungent, but not enough to be bothersome.
Yes, it is a very good sake. p
Good evening, Mr. Gyoza 😃.
Ah! 301 check-in. ‼️Congrats on crossing the 300 mark 🎉!
LRT🚉 is really on a roll 🤗.
Love Tochigi with seasonal cherry blossoms 🥰It's a stone 👍!
Jay & Nobby, thanks for all your comments 😭
I didn't pay attention to the number of check-ins or anything at all, but I didn't realize it was that much already.
Thanks for the congratulations 😭
Tochigi is my second home!
This is the second bottle of sake 🍶 I received as a gift.
It is refreshing and easy to drink.
It has no bitterness, and the sourness and sweetness are only slightly pronounced. The aroma is slightly sweet, and although it may not be as assertive as a food sake, it is easy to drink for beginners.
It is easy to drink for beginners. It may be better matched with Japanese food such as grilled or simmered fish than with fried or other solid snacks.
