Sake is junmai, even better when heated. Legendary, which we saw at the sake store Yamanaka in Osaka Station. The yellowish color gives a sense of maturity, and the caramel aroma is nice. The red turtle is also cute. The use of all sake brewing rice is also excellent. Sake-like acidity and umami. Not a warmed sake, but good. I am glad to have met Shinkame.
Junmai GREEN🍶🟩Awa Yamada Nishiki🌾.
3rd brewery at the Iida Sake Shop Gokuraku Kai, 4th brew at Shinkame Shuzo ✨.
Warmed up ♨️ It's like an aged version of onigiri. It still has a soft sweetness. Calm impression.

Junmai Dry 🍶.
Third brewery in the Iida Sake Shop Gokuraku Kai, third cup of Shinkame Shuzo 😆.
It looks burnt. Wife says I want to eat oden🍢 😅 If it's heated up hot, spicy snacks are good.

Junmai🍶Onigiri🍙4-step brewing✨Nama Sake Yamadanishiki🌾.
Here is the third brewery for the Iida Sake Shop Gokuraku Kai. Shinkame's first cup 😆.
Like cotton candy, it disappears quickly. Sweet but not lingering. Sweet squash ✨ grape aroma 🍇 Refreshing ✨.
They put in hot steamed rice balls🍙 after the three-stage brewing process to promote saccharification🧐.

Shinkame with warmed sake
The master (owner) recommended 65 degrees 😅.
He said this sake tastes best at this level.
Sake gets fuller in aroma and taste as you warm it up, but it goes without keeping its balance.
It gets good when it gets to a certain point. That temperature depends on the sake.
When you drink it, it is voluptuous
It is also delicious when heated 😋It is said that when it cools down, it does not lose its balance
It has flavor and aroma
We opened a bottle of "SPRING LIGHT", a seasonal sake from Shinkame.
This sake is brewed with Aomori Prefecture's Hanafubuki sake rice.
It has a gentle taste with a soft sweetness that lingers on the tongue. The alcohol content is a little high at 16.5 degrees, but you can easily drink it without noticing.
The cherry blossom color surrounding the label makes me want to enjoy this sake as a Hanami sake. Delicious: ‼️
Junmai sake with a vivid amber color. The clerk at the liquor store recommended heating it up. This is my favorite. I want to drink it slowly with a delicious meal with its elegant flavor.
Would you like another hot sake?
Here it is!
I drank it cold three years ago at Shouei's, and now I want it hot!
The waiter made it hot again!
The aroma is still very unique!
It doesn't have the yellow tinge like the last time!
The taste was right to have it hot.
Shinkame is best served hot!
More and more skewers were served!
We eat and drink 🍶!

Kinshicho Lunchtime Drinking Again ①.
Last weekend I went to my father's place after visiting his grave in Shinjuku! Normally we would go there by car 🚙, but we decided to take the train 🚃 once in a while 🤗.
From Utsunomiya to Shinjuku, the Shinkansen or Shonan-Shinjuku line only takes 30 minutes 🤔, but the fare is about 5000 yen cheaper one way for both of us 🙂.
We could use this money for lunch and drinks 😋, so we decided to take JR conventional line without hesitation: ‼️
The train ride to Shinjuku took about 2 hours 🚃 and it was too crowded inside the train to drink 😅, but I used the time to do some rice activities that I had accumulated in the meantime.
After visiting the cemetery in Shinjuku, we headed to Kinshicho🤗.
The reason why I'm here is to revisit a restaurant I found by chance a little more than two years ago ⁉️ for a lunchtime drink ‼️
When we entered the restaurant, we were asked a question like a déjà vu, "Is it OK if we go to a wine and sake restaurant?" I answered "Yes, that's why I'm here after two years 👋" and took a seat at the counter👍.
We ordered a light course meal for 3,000 yen and toasted to our first outside lunchtime drink in a while! Kamikame's Sweet Squash 😊.
The first sip was a dry and delicious toast 😙.
To be continued
Jay & Nobby, good evening😃I didn't know Kamikame has sweet squash, it looks delicious 😋That's a great plan for a lunchtime drink with your floating train fare 💕I'm looking forward to seeing what else you enjoyed besides this drink!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Lunchtime drinking is good 🎵.
Kamikame's shuwa dry sake is the perfect toast 😋.
Looking forward to seeing your wine and sake lineup 😊.
Jay & Nobby It's nice to be able to drink from noon, isn't it? And one of the good things about drinking outside is that you can drink sake that you normally can't drink 😊Sweet Squash by Kamikame looks delicious and I'm curious about it😄.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃😀
Lunchtime drinking is the best 😍If you take the train 🚃, you both can drink as much as you want😇I think I'll take the train 🚃 for my GW plans 🤔😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄!
I'd love to try your wine and sake store ❣️ If you can have a lunchtime drink and have a good lineup of drinks, that's great👍I'm sure you two would be happy enough to revisit 😆Please let us know 🥰.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening 🤩.
This Shinkame is delicious 🤩.
Shinkame has a strong image as a classic sake, but this sweet sake overturns that image.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😊 happy time for lunchtime drinking with you and your wife ☺️ and a toast to Kamikame sweet squash is a great way to start the party 👍The restaurant doesn't look like it has wine, but it does 🤭.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌙😃😃You have a visit to the cemetery plus a nice store in your schedule 😁I will refer to it next time I visit Tokyo ❤I have an image of Kamikame as a heated restaurant, but I didn't know they also have this kind of thing 🎵.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😄.
Not rice life, but lunchtime drinking 😆 to flow after visiting the grave after rice life.
And enjoy drinking 🍶 elegantly at a stylish restaurant. It's time for adults 😆.
Looking forward to the sequel 🤗
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I have a strong impression of Kamikame as a dry sake, and I have only ever had Gamera heated up 🤣.
I was surprised to hear that Kamikame has a sake called Sweet Squash 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 😃.
I probably would have had a lunchtime drink even if I had taken the Shinkansen 🤣I remember getting my first cotton shop at this restaurant a little over 2 years ago and Wakata-san commented on it 😌.
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
It's a nice quiet and calm restaurant 😌.
They are open for lunch only on weekends and holidays from 1pm 🤗but the sake might be mostly dry 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Studying 😃.
We're really happy together 😊It was a series of 🤭.
We looked at the menu and there it was 😳and it was a great start to the ‼️ opening of our mouths🤗
Good evening, pyonpyon 😃.
I've decided to go backwards ⏳ from the time of the lunchtime drink 😁 I'm sure pyonpyon will like the drinks you have on offer 🤗.
