Izakaya Kintetsu Express Hinotori Opening
Two days of sake drinking in Mie are safely over and we are on our way home 😀.
The sake we will have on the Kintetsu train on the way home is Junmai Ginjo by Fukuwagura 😀.
This sake is made by Imuraya, which is famous for azuki products such as azuki bars and other Japanese sweets and ice cream bars.
It is a sweet sake, as you would expect from Imuraya, but it was a delicious sake that did not interfere at all when paired with an assortment of Mie's specialty bento boxes 😀.
I'm glad I was able to end my Mie Prefecture sake trip with this sake 😇.
By the way, the return trip was my first ride on the Kintetsu Limited Express Hinotori 😀.
I had always wanted to take this train at least once, so I was excited and decided to take the premium seats 😀.
The three rows of seats were comfortable with wide space between the seats and a comfortable recline, but... everyone on the train was so quiet that if I made a single noise I would get stared at 🤣.
I promised myself I would never sit in premium seats again😅.
Good evening, Yasube-san!
Your Mie sake brewery tour was a quintessential action: ⤴️
I was able to see a lot of sake from Mie 🎵.
Fukuwagura is a sweet sake, just like I imagined ✨.
I'd like to have a chance to try it 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I don't think I'll probably ever encounter so many Mie Sake at once, so it was a good experience 😇.
I'm just wondering how to store the sake I'm giving as a gift to myself🤣.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😀.
The bento box with an assortment of Mie's specialties was delicious 😃.
I was able to drink quite a bit of Mie sake over the two days, so this amount is enough for a shimei 😇.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go back home 🤣.
Thank you, Yasube!
I was just thinking "I wish I could go on a sake brewery tour of Mie" and my heart rate increased as I read through your comments from the first day💓
I will definitely go 😤.
Good morning, polo 😀
I had a great time touring the sake breweries in Mie with lots of fun discoveries 😇.
There are many major sake breweries, but I recommend small sake breweries 😀.
They are full of the brewery's policy 😇
Thank you for your reply, Yasbay 😊.
I tend to focus on the famous places, but it is fun to be able to directly experience the thoughts of the brewery people.
I will try to make plans to visit during the new sake season 🥰.
Yasbay, here we go too 😊.
Will you ever sit down again 🤣weekday evenings 🚄 are not too noisy as you are all tired from work? I can only hear the sound of you opening a beer😅.
I enjoyed reading your Mie sake trip😊🎶.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
It was so quiet that I was afraid of even the sound of opening the cap of sake or the lid of my lunch box, let alone the sound of opening a beer 🤣.
It's better to relax and enjoy drinking if there is a bit of a buzz 😇.

This is my first visit to Imuraya. Imuraya is known for its meat buns, bean-jam buns, and adzuki bean paste bars. They also make sake.
The aroma is fruity and gorgeous.
It has a bubbly taste with just the right amount of sweetness.
I think it's a royal taste.
It has little bitterness and finishes with a beautiful sweetness. Oishiiiiiiiii😍!
My second son started his exams today and things started to get tense in the house, but I couldn't stop my drinking 😅.
Praying that we'll get through this happily ✨
Hi Jay & Nobby😊.
Fukuwagura, it was very good 🤗 I would like to try the different labels too ❗️
The kids have to do their best for the exams, so the parents just have to try to stay in shape 😖.
Good morning, Takechi 🐥.
It's hard to take the exam 💦 with the flu going around and snow on the ground, it's a bit of a distraction 😰.
It might be better to calm down at least drinking 😊I hope your child can exert his/her strength 🙏.
Hi Pon-chan 😊Actually, my second son had a fever of over 40 degrees Celsius for about 4 days from the 3rd day of the New Year, and I thought it was hopeless 😫 but he is doing his best to recover. He never abstains from alcohol and drinks every night to get the sake gods to support him 😆.
