Traveling in Shinshu (7)
The good times at [Juten] in Takayama City were short-lived, and we added the last of the sake to repay our neighbor's gift to us 🍶.
Yamashimo Kamisumi Junmai Sake.
A full-bodied, clear rice aroma, mellow flavor, and a crisp, clean finish after the koji has been removed from the nose.
My neighbor reserved a plate of grilled fugu (blowfish) as a reward for me and unexpectedly shared it with me 😲.
The grilled fugu was perfectly cooked with a hint of pepper, and the taste was irresistible 😋.
We parted ways with our neighbor, promising to drink together again next year✨.
This concludes our series on traveling around Shinshu 🔚.
By the way, the fourth picture is the result of my visit to the liquor store and brewery, well, I bought too much 🤣.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
Thank you for your trip to Shinshu: 🚘️
You had a wonderful time meeting your neighbors ✨.
And the results of this trip are going to be amazing 😊.
I'm looking forward to your post now 🎵
Welcome back, Jive 😃.
It was a great trip to Shinshu 🍶The 4th picture says it all 😁.
Congrats on the stocking results, Gyve, and I look forward to your future bottle openings & check-ins 😊.
Good morning, Gyve 😃Thank you for your trip to Shinshu 😊The 4th photo has too much impact 😅I look forward to seeing you upload the aftermath of your trip, which was so fulfilling!
Hi Gyve, I'm so glad to hear from you 😃.
I had a fun trip to Shinshu and met people 🥹I really like traveling 😌.
I know what you mean 😁I'll be stocking up 😆We'll be waiting for your drink report 👋
Good morning, Jive 🌅😀😀
Good job on your trip to Shinshu 😊You enjoyed good drinks and food 😚👍4th result is 120 points💮🥳There is no way you can fit in 10 🤣🤣🤣
Good morning, ma-ki-!
[It's fun to see the drama that happens almost every time I come to Jutian 😁.
I was in the mindset of buying things and then thinking about storing them after I got home, so I realized I had a huge amount of stuff 💦.
Good morning, Aladdin!
Shinshu has a lot of drunken sake, but there are also a lot of drunken liquor stores, so it was a series of happy screams 😁.
I'll probably keep the alcohol until the end of the year so I'll focus on reviews for a while ✨.
Good morning, Wakata!
We made the most of the advantages of driving there 🚙.
A lot of happy miscalculations resulted in the 4th picture 😁.
I will concentrate on consumption for a while ✨
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
We didn't have much of a schedule this time because we wanted to relax in the hot springs, so we could stop at as many liquor stores as we wanted 😁.
We were able to get almost all of the sake we wanted, so it was a fulfilling trip!
Good morning, Maecin-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I fully enjoyed Shinshu and Takayama, both cities full of delicious food and drinks 😁.
I was shifting my thinking to think about storage after I got home instead of trying to fit it into 10 bottles 💦.
Welcome back, Gyve 😊.
Hahaha, I thought it would be more than 10 bottles, but it's too much fun to imagine 🤣I'm only excited to drink every evening👍.
I enjoyed a lot of the stores and customers 😊Good trip ✨
Pon, I'm back 😁.
I thought I wouldn't be able to fit in 10 bottles myself, but I didn't think I'd be able to get this many 💦.
But it was a very fulfilling trip with some happy miscalculations and some pretty rare discoveries ✨.
In the evening, we went to an izakaya where Kazuhiko Ota used to go!
I was going to go to the izakaya, but it was already booked up a month in advance 🤣.
We checked out the izakaya that the locals go to, made a reservation, and had dinner.
Yamashimo: Nadeshiko no Hana (flowery yeast brewed Nadeshiko no Hana, freshly stored sake).
It has a firm mouthfeel, with a slight sweetness, but also umami, mild alcohol, and an honest taste.
It has a robust mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness, but it also has a delicious flavor, mild alcohol content, and an honest taste.
We had this local sake with a dish with a strong flavor of Hida Takayama.
The third one was closed, but it is a warehouse of floats.
Good evening, Nemuchi🦉.
It's a big and splendid storehouse ✨It makes me want to go to a sake brewery when I see something like this 😊.
The neon lights of Hourai are also 👍
Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka⑰.
This is also the first time to see a float.
This brewery also seems to use flower yeast!
I drank
Yamashimo Summer Ginjo Kuradashi Ichiban
Polishing ratio 60% Akita-Komachi, Sake degree +3
It's made with Abelia yeast.
Delicious but a little off-flavored...
Yamashimo Unfiltered Nama-Shu Hyokami
Polishing ratio 65%, processed rice for sake brewing Sake meter rating -1
Sake made with Nadeshiko yeast.
This one also has a slight off-flavor.
It's a shame, because the taste itself was good...
Around the Hyakushun booth, I was approached by the owner of the sake bar that Nemuchi and I visited last year after the Japanese Sake Festival.
I've only been to the bar once, but I met him at the Sake-1 Grand Prix and again at this event 😁.
I couldn't go to the bar because of the events and private events in the bar, and the bar was closed last month 😢.
I got a flyer that they have regular events at another location, but it's a weekday so it's tough to go there 🤔.
Zzzzz! Sake!
I'm drinking it cold.
It goes well on a hot day👍
I'd like to drink it at room temperature tomorrow, though.
...
I'm sure my wife will finish it 🤣.
Assorted sashimi from a local fresh fish store!
Pickled cucumber for local consumption 🥒!
It's a little overgrown 🤣
Kooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Alcoholic
Sweetness, acidity, and deliciousness
Mouth full of flavor
Very tasty sake.
I'm just about to eat it.
Bonito tataki from Myojinmaru in Kochi Prefecture
It's really a perfect match.
It is a mellow dry sake with a full-bodied and umami flavor. I don't think it is dry, but it is certainly a good, easy-drinking sake with a full-bodied and umami flavor.
I had never heard of Hida (Gifu) sake before, but I felt that there are many sake breweries that I like.
