Shibuya with customers (1)
Yesterday, a drinking party for a group of four with occasional customers.
A rather nice restaurant on the edge of Shibuya. A little nice restaurant on the outskirts of Shibuya.
The first sake was a request from one of the other guests, Niida Shizen-shu, which none of us had ever had before.
(I've had it a few times myself 😆).
But the "Tamura" that came out was the first time I had ever had it! 😘.
It's like a natural sake, dark and strong.
Sweet, tasty, sour all there 😋.
But not as sweet as regular natural sake?
First dish, hand-rolled seared conger eel and shijimi clam soup!
This is a different brand from the Niida Honke's natural sake. Of course, it is made from 100% naturally grown rice.
Drink chilled.
It has a light aroma of rice. The texture is pleasant, and the mild sweetness and rich umami from the umami taste sinks in without any resistance.
The flavor and aroma are enhanced when it is heated. The temperature of 30-40℃ is probably the right temperature, though I haven't measured.
Mature aroma. Strong grain flavor. I prefer to drink it warmed. The rice polishing ratio is low, but it gives the impression of being so. Strong flavor.
We participated in the Sake Go Around Kyoto♪
The sixth restaurant was Yakitori Gyo near Kawaramachi Marutamachi!
This place was Niida Honke's Tamura heated sake!
Since it's a yakitori restaurant, we added two more yakitori as an extra dish 😋.
It's been a while since I've had heated sake! I'm going to start heating sake this winter 😁.
Ao, good evening 🌙
If it's a yakitori restaurant, you have to ask for it 😊I guess that's the restaurant's strategy 😆Hot sake is good too👍Let's debut it at home too🎶.
I hope you enjoyed it a little more.
Pon-chan Good evening!
Hirupeko-san said she was curious about this place 😁.
I thought so when I saw they were serving yakitori first 😂.
I've never had heated sake at home yet so I'm going to buy a sake heater 😁.
Good evening, Ao. I see you went there too 😊The atmosphere of the restaurant and the yakitori is still wonderful💕I'll definitely go there! Heated sake is the best 🍶♨️
Good evening, Mr. Hirupeco.
Hirupeko-san said that she was interested in this restaurant and the area is a little far from the restaurant, so I wondered if it was open. I took the bus to go there 😁.
I think I'm going to wake up to some heated sake 😁 ♨️ Please tell me more about it 🙏.
