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 🤗.
Shinkame Shuzo
Shinkame Junmai-shu Namaishu SPRING LIGHT
Shinkame Shuzo is a sake brewery in Hasuda City, Saitama Prefecture.
The rice is 55% polished "Hanabukiyuki" from Aomori Prefecture.
Beautiful and refreshing aroma, soft rice flavor,
A full-bodied, gentle aftertaste.

Senbatsu High School Baseball Tournament
Congratulations to Urawa Jitsugyo Gakuen High School on their victory🎉!
I was at work, so I couldn't watch the game at leisure.
Ishido, an irregular left-handed pitcher, pitched well.
I was surprised by his unique form when I saw him at the Saitama Prefecture Fall Tournament last fall, but he is a real talent.
I wanted to drink some sake from Saitama Prefecture, so I put it to sleep, Shinkame's Green Label, sweet sake.
It has been stored at room temperature for 2 years and 4 months since purchase, but it has little coloring and little maturing aroma or peculiarity.
It is mellow, stable in quality, good from room temperature, and can be heated to a very hot temperature.
Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio. Green Label is a little sweet and easy to drink 😊The president of the company came to a department store in Kansai and heated it up so much that he brought home a bottle of 🐢 so I'd like to enjoy it slowly. ♨️
Good morning, Hirupeco 😊.
Green Label is a little sweet and easy to drink. I think it has a good taste of rice and sweetness.
It's good to warm up various kinds of sake at the Shinkame sales event and the president's visit: ❗️
When served cold, it has a slight flavor of rice.
Not too much sweetness.
No aftertaste.
When warmed up, the rice flavor is full of flavor.
A savory caramel-like flavor remains.
It is quite robust.
Ibushigin" is a word that fits this sake well.
Shinkame is synonymous with dry sake, and dry sake is synonymous with Shinkame. It is also a pioneer in the extremely avant-garde field of Junmai (pure rice).
Last time, I had a medium (sweet) sake called SWEET SQUASH, and I wanted to taste again the quality and robustness that is typical of Shinkame, so I decided to try the standard version.
The quality of the sake is as strong as ever! However, it is not as harsh as I expected, perhaps because it is more dry... 15.5% alcohol? The normal sake is 16%, so it is only 0.5%... Perhaps it is a gap from my imagination of 17-8% rather than my sharp taste buds. I wonder if it is because of this degree that I felt it was slightly different from what I imagined or remembered?
The aroma of alcohol is not related to ginjo aroma or anything like that, and is not flirtatious. When heated up, it was delicious. It may be hard to convey to those who are more interested in Capulet, but it is definitely good for those who are accustomed to dry sake. It can be served with a wide range of foods.
It has the appearance of a veteran actor who is very graceful, as if to say, "I am who I am, but I will show you what is good, and even if you don't like it, it's my personality. I would like to try the other wines in the series!
It's spring! Continued from the most profound festival, I bought it because it was on sale at a lower price than I was under the impression.
Jacket price... 7/10
I think the retro label is the way a heavy-bodied sake should be, though the outside world is a bit pop.
Ki ... 10/20
The pouring sound is good, the smell is strong, almost like soy sauce, and the initial impression is light, but you can feel a medium sweet/smelling stimulation at the back of your tongue.
Sei... 9/20
The taste is not scorching and does not cling to the body, but the sublimation smell is of grain. 3 for the taste and 7 for the aroma is not a good balance.
Transition ... 5/20
Unfortunately, I don't know what to find in the modulation section, there is no change in the texture in a good or bad way, and the sublimation smell is also giving me rice smell.
The sublimation smell is also a bit too much, and it makes me smell like rice.
Yui ... 6/20
The taste has been slightly burnt, and the only thing left is the smell of grain-based soy sauce, which leaves only the impression of sublimation.
Cospa ... 4/10
For rice smell fanatics.
After review...I realized that "umakuchi" is essential for a heavy-bodied beer.

If the flavor is complex or rich, but the aroma alone is not enough to satisfy me, I want to ask, "What have you been doing for three years? I want to ask "What have you been doing for three years?
The refrain was "I'm a hawk...".
