I headed to Kintetsu Namba station.
I bought some turmeric here. I'm still drinking!
The second restaurant was "Toyoshuku" located inside the station.
The owner recommended this one.
It has a bonded aroma.
We had it with their special sakekasu-stewed rice cake.
It was very delicious!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Turmeric is the most powerful~.
You will wake up the next day as if nothing happened.
If possible, I would even like to introduce turmeric as a brand name of sakekawa!
Spring Nigorinpic 61
I bought this sake at the brewery when I participated in a Kintetsu Train walking project earlier this year and walked from Saidaiji Temple in Nara to Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery near Obikaiji Temple via the Heijo Palace ruins 😀.
It's a ginjo-shu, so even the nigori has a pretty gorgeous aroma 😀.
As you can see, the nigori is quite robust, so it has a sweet sake-like feel on the palate, but you can still taste the robust rice flavor 😀.
We compared it with Senzuke's light nigori, but the taste and atmosphere were completely different, and it was a good comparison that made us realize that there is a wide range of nigori sake.
Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞I had a bottle of "Ken" brewed by this brewery before and I got the impression that it is a delicious sake with a solid core 🍶It is hard to find it for sale 😅.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Standing out like it has a solid flavor! When one sake with a different atmosphere is added, it makes the drinking comparison even more fun 🤗.
Good evening, Nao888!
Nara Toyosawa's sake seems to be quite popular and easy to buy in Nara 🤣.
There are standing drinking stands of the brewery in Saidaiji and Tennoji, so you can go there if you just want to have a drink 😇.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
It's fun to compare the same nigori-style sake, but the sake sold at the brewery contains the brewer's thoughts on the creation of the sake, so it's hard to believe that it's the same nigori-style sake 😇.
The aroma spreads and the flavor is robust even at room temperature.
It is a pleasure to drink it hot.
Excellent value for money at just over 1000 yen.
The mildness is more pronounced when warmed.
Purchased at the local sake corner of a certain supermarket.
It is dry with a high alcohol content.
It is dry but has a rich umami taste.
It is an excellent sake for less than 1,000 yen.
Sake Brewery Tour on Foot
Today I participated in a sake brewery tour organized by Kintetsu Corporation 😀.
I participated in a 10 km walking event from Kintetsu Nara Saidaiji station, past the Heijo Palace ruins, from Daianji temple to Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery. 🚶♀️
Toyosawa-san, which brews a sake called Toyoshuku, is also located in Fushimi, Kyoto 😀 I visited Toyosawa-san in Kyoto before.
When I visited Toyosawa in Kyoto before, the store owner told me that Toyosawa originally had breweries in Fushimi, Nada, Nara, and Sennan, Osaka, but they became independent and now only Fushimi and Nara are left 😀.
Our reward for walking 10 kilometers was a forced tasting of 5 different types of sake, including a brewery exclusive sake.
We were allowed to have as many refills as we wanted, so we compared them and I and Orin both thought the second best was this new sake, Arabashiri Shiboritate 😀 It tasted fruity and vibrant.
It has a fruity and vibrant taste, and it's so easy to drink that it's dangerous to drink too much 🤣.
The sake that both Orin and I recommended the most was Nigori (nigori) 🤣.
I know you might say that even after all the Nigorinpic, it was still nigori ❓, but I really liked the taste of nigori, so I made sure to take this one home 😇.
Yasubeyesan, here too😊.
Nice plan 🍶 and Toyosawa-san, there used to be a lot of them 😳I see why it has the same name as Kyoto and it clears things up 😊.
Thanks again, Pon-chan 😀.
Kintetsu's sake brewery tour will still be held at various places until the end of March.
Today I'm going to walk 10 km to visit Hakusetsu-san's brewery opening in Itami 🚶.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
Private trains in Kansai are having a lot of fun with various sake events 😀.
Today is the sake brewery opening at Hakusetsu-san in Itami 😇.
I looked on the map and it's exactly 10 km from my house, so I'm going to walk there now 🚶.
Nara's Toyoshu high 🍶.
Mellow and fragrant
Daiginjo as it should be.
It has a strong aroma and a unique richness.
It is good to enjoy it a little at a time.
Tastes like a good daiginjo from the old days.
There is nothing modern about it.
Whew!
It was the last day of work.
On my way home, I am going to Nara!
The first stop is Toyoshu's directly-managed store in Yamato Saidaiji Station.
I have been there before at Namba station.
It opens at 14:00! We entered the store.
The first thing I ordered was the new sake "Arabashiri.
There is no aroma.
It is not fruity, but it tastes good on the palate!
We had it with chicken harami grated ponzu.
Both are good!

I will drink today!
This is "Nara no Fuyu-shu" from Toyoshuku, which I bought when I visited Nara.
The color is beautifully clear.
The aroma is almost imperceptible.
When you put it in your mouth, the umami comes for a moment, but it seems to disappear without reaching its peak.
The aftertaste is like the umami is left halfway through.
For me, who likes umami with a lot of zest, it is...hmmm...
Yutaka Celebration received 90 ml.
The next glass is aging. It's an autumn sake!
Well, it tastes as if you have put on one jacket.
This one also goes well with dote-ni. It was a delicious sake~.
Two sakes and a single dish of dote-ni. Total price: 1,200 yen. Thank you!
On the train ride home, I thought to myself. Sake is the best!
Thank you!
