This weekend is the Tsukuba Marathon🏃.
I came to Utsunomiya partly to escape from traffic restrictions.
Stopped by a sake shop and got a new bottle of Amataka sake ✨.
Tenryaka is my favorite sake in Tochigi because it has the image of a sharp and crisp sake for a young man 🍶.
But this one is fruity with a melon aroma 🍈.
But it has a nice sharpness, so I could drink it easily 😋.
My father never drank Bakuren because he said it was too sweet, so I had given up trying to get him to drink sake, but he wanted to taste this one.
He said it was fruity, but dry and delicious.
It's a mystery to me. But I'm glad it's good 🤣.
Hi Mamio 😃
Oooh! I thought you were going to run a marathon ‼️ 😅 That's what I thought 😅. Welcome back 👋.
You certainly have that image of Mr. Tenaka 🧐 mystery? I'm sorry, but I guess the word is "fragrant dry" 😋.
I always look forward to the Tenryaka sake I buy every year!
It's like, what does this year's Tenryaka taste like, and this year it's really good! It is the most gorgeous and refreshing sake ever. It's not at all stodgy, and it's a very smooth and refreshing drink.
This time, I attended an inspection workshop 🚌 🚌.
During lunch
I want you to try the local sake
I hope you will enjoy drinking
and we were given this sake!
We were served this sake!
It was named after the first brewer who had a dream of a big hawk soaring in the sky when he stayed at a ryokan in Kyoto.
I see...
Now, a sip...delicious!
The taste is elegant and refreshing!
Mild and nice on the palate!
Japanese Bento while eating!
Sake is great to drink from noon 😋👌👌.
It is better than ordinary Amataka! It is a quintessential daiginjo!
It is refreshing but has a good nose and fruity taste, and I can recommend it to people who like Fukushima sake.
Since we met Mr. and Mrs. J&N and Mr. Kotori in Utsunomiya at the end of last year, we have been following Tochigi this year!
Shiobara, Kinugawa, and now Nasu!
Instead of having dinner at the hotel, we decided to go to a place we were interested in!
Without looking at the place carefully, we made a reservation at a restaurant in the forest about 30 minutes away by car.
There were three kinds of sake: Ona, Tenaka, and Kyokko.
I chose the Amataka!
This is the first Tenryaka I've had this year.
You can't say that you can feel the alkoze at all!
It is described as dry, but it has just the right amount of rice flavor and is light and dry!
We thought it would be poured into a glass, but it was served in a small bottle of 300ml!
The first half was served cold, and the second half was served on the rocks with ice.
Each dish was memorable!
Tochigi sake is so deep!
My daughter was asked to drive me back to the hotel, and after we arrived at the hotel, everyone, including my wife, fell asleep while talking about the fun dinner!
Onsen ♨️, let's go to the pool 🏊 in the morning ☀️

That's right. Time really flies by, doesn't it? I know you two are busy, but please take care of yourselves. I will contact you when I visit Utsunomiya area.
