One sip made all the difference. This was one of those drinks that even my tongue, which does not appreciate this taste, felt the flavor in a different direction than the easy drinking sake I drink on a daily basis. When I drank it when I was drunk, I felt as if it had the flavor of muscat, personally. I wanted to get drunk more!

SAKE to SAKE
Utsunomiya Shikizakura Sake Brewery
The master brewer himself was selling and serving customers!
This sake is only sold at events and is not available anywhere else.
So we were told to drink it.
A quick shot with the toji-san to commemorate the event!
I like Orikarami because it is smooth. Pitchy? Chippy? It also has a tangy?
It is very tasty.
Sake and Sake vol.2 at Koryu Plaza🤗
For the event's unique 🍶...
Utsunomiya Sake Brewery's Shikizakura booth. This one was recommended to be tasted only at the event. The ginjo aroma was slightly reminiscent of blue bananas, and the ori was smooth, chili, sweet and delicious on the tongue.
Shikizakura special junmai sake 😆🎵🎵It has a classic taste ❗Bitter but with a nice aroma 🎵This is a delicious sake 🎵Utsunomiya east exit, the light rail is in operation and has developed 🎵Today is a busy day with events 😆🎵🎵
Streetcars in Utsunomiya?
I was interested in the report that the light rail system is now operational.
It extends east from JR Utsunomiya Station?
Shikizakura's special junmai sake, a nice fine sake 😊.
In May 2013, I traveled to Kiyohara Stadium in Utsunomiya to watch the high school baseball spring Kanto tournament.
I took a cab from Utsunomiya station to the stadium on the way there and a limited number of buses on the way back, so I can't say it was easy to get to.
The accessibility may have improved with the operation of the light rail system.
The Kanto tournament that day was
Urawa Gakuin - Nichidai San
Sano Nihon University - Sendai Matsudo
Kiriko-Gakuen - Hanasaki-Tokuei,
Thinking back on it now
Kojima of Urawa Gakuin,
Tajima of Sano Nihon University,
Kirikogakuen's Kojima, Sano Nichidai's Tajima, Tokuei's Wakatsuki and
Tokuei's Wakatsuki and Kusumoto,
I think it was a very high level tournament with players who are active in professional baseball at the moment 😊.
Good morning, Mr. Hiraccio 😃.
Oh! It's the LRT labeled Four Seasons Cherry Blossom 🤗.
The LRT seems to have improved the accessibility of Kiyohara stadium 🤗I remember just around 2013, my high school daughter used to go there to cheer 📣 for her alma mater!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
I would love to ride it, LRT👍.
It looks like you can use the access to Kiyohara stadium.
I remember it was quite a big and powerful stadium and I would like to take the LRT next time.
Weekend camping 🏕️
We all brought our own sake and enjoyed 4 bottles of sake!
First up was a sake from Tochigi brought by a friend.
It had a rich rice flavor and was delicious warmed up 🤭.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
This is the first time I've had this drink and I would repeat it if it were sold near me! I thought so 🥰 Thanks for your friend 🎵
At room temperature.
Mellow, light and full-bodied rice flavor.
Soft and easy to drink.
It is not sluggish, but rather smooth and easy to drink.
It goes very well with steamed clams and Spanish mackerel.
It also goes well with smooth taro and crab gratin.
A good everyday sake.
In moderation
Hurriedly transferring from Shinkansen to Narita Express at Tokyo Station
I got on the wrong car for my reserved seat, but managed to get on the train.
After settling down, poof!
Shiki Sakura Special Junmai Sake LRT Light Line Can
The aroma is full of rice and acidity, just like Kaika!
Unlike Kaika, this one has a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity.
There is bitterness, but it is not strong, and it finishes lightly.
I see...
So it's a light line with a light finish 🤣.
Tochigi love even when we are far away from each other ❤️
Hello brother Chichi 😃
Once again, I admire your energy in the drinking activity 🤩 and the reviews you do are great 👍But you really drank from morning till night 🤣.
Good evening, janitor takeshon 🌇.
Yes, it's been a long time since I've had a vacation.
I had a short vacation this year, so I enjoyed myself from morning till night 😤.
I want to go back to Nagoya too ❗️
The third member is Sashiu-san!
He is from Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture, graduated from a university in Iwate Prefecture, and now commutes long distance from his home in Shiroishi to Fukushima.
He is a true Tohoku person, and his personality is evident in the way he tries his best to listen to what others have to say, and to do his best to give back 🤗.
Thank you for the Shiroishi On-men as a souvenir!
Next time, we can go to Sendai, Fukushima, or Koriyama.
Here is the 4th cup of Tochigi Kenmin Kai!
Shikizakura Dry (Normal Sake)
It is alkozome, but it wasn't so harsh.
If it is heated up, the buds will open up and it will be more delicious!
It was a good match with food. ❗️

Hi Chichi, howdy 😃.
When did you get such detailed information 😳Noby and I were just going through the descriptions in your eyes, yes! That's right 🤗.
I love the fact that you're doing the sightseeing in the 3rd and 4th pictures 👍.
