The last stop was Tokujiro's, but he treated us to some sake that was given to him by a customer who loves sake!
So, the special edition at our favorite Yakitori restaurant was Wakatsuru Sake Brewery's Naekaya!
This was my first time to try this brewery, as I had not encountered them on my trip to Toyama.
However, I was so drunk that I took almost no notes!
Junmai Ginjo
I got the impression that it was clean, sweet and tasty.
It is a very easy to drink sake without any unpleasant taste.
Special Junmai
The complex flavor attacks from the beginning.
After that, the sweet and umami taste comes through and gives a rich impression.
Well, today, while talking with the owner and the waitress about our trip to Korea, we had a great time enjoying delicious chicken dishes and plenty of sake.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I'm sure it's not every day you get to travel to Korea with the owner and the waitress 🤩After the trip, it's great to have a good drink and talk about souvenirs while drinking 🥰 I'd like to compare the drinks at Naeka-ya too 😋.
Thank you, Takashi!
You're right 😲 I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be traveling with the general and the waiter too 🎵
Yes - not only the general, but also the waiter was very tongue-tied yesterday 🤣 it was a fun party 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😆.
You had a lot to drink this time 😊.
Good drinks and the atmosphere of your favorite restaurant...doesn't it make you feel like you're back in Japan?
Thank you Kano!
I drank a little too much for me 😅
Yes, I was thinking [this, this, this 😍] while talking with the owners and having their usual excellent food and sake 😁✨✨.
Naekaya red label I drank in Toyama last year: ‼️
One of my top 5 sake 🍶.
It has the perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness with the unique punch of sake.
I never get tired of this sake 😊.
What is one of Toyama's top 5 best sake - ⤴️
I went to Toyama last year with my parents, but I haven't had the chance to drink any of the sake breweries there.
It's the same Naekaya, but it changes so much when the type of rice is changed. ⁉️
The sweetness was refreshing and easy to drink, and the dryness was also refreshing.
Wakatsuru Shuzo
Naekaya Namikaya Junmai Ginjo
The brewery is located in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture.
The rice is polished to 55% Yuyamanishiki produced in Toyama Prefecture.
Sweet and refreshing aroma, full-bodied rice flavor
The sweet and refreshing aroma, the full-bodied flavor of rice, and the gentle acidity of the sake's yeast yeast,
Elegant and crisp finish.

The new one before the warehouse improvement
Junmai Daiginjo of Yuyamanishiki
This is from 、、、、
Surprisingly, it was delicious! I had another one!
It wasn't that spicy, but not too sweet either!
Looking forward to the next one!
15/20
Mild aroma of banana and a little cucumber.
When you drink it, it has a melon-like freshness and a mild mouthfeel.
The taste is sweet and full of Yamadanishiki umami 😍.
I thought it would have a long aftertaste, but it ends with a slight acidity that refreshes the palate!
Wow, it's delicious! Delicious! 🥰
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki

Junmai🍶Newly Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama Sake✨Ooyama Nishiki from Nanto, Toyama Prefecture🌾.
Hard impression. Rather dry. Crisp. My wife says the taste of the water is outstanding. Pair with yellowtail and green pepper tataki🐟 for a rich taste. Sharp✨It feels sweeter on a flat plate than in a cup.

Rich flavor, cools well.
The thin glass boar's mouth
The thin glass cup gives the sake a sharp taste.
The alcohol content of 17 degrees is intoxicating.
