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!
It's a long story...
I'll spare you the ultra long story.
The Okura Honke Ekimaenomise at Itami station, which I was looking forward to visiting, was closed!
Departing from JR Itami station. I found out at Kintetsu Tsuruhashi station....
So we changed our destination.
Our goal was "Toyoshu".
It is located on the platform of Namba station.
This information is from "Yamato no Umashu Sake × Sakana × Kinden (Sake and Sakana and Kinden) #4".
The counter is in a row horizontally. It was packed with customers.
I was envious that there was a restaurant like this on my way home from work.
I had a 90ml bottle of Toyoshuku.
The snack was "Dote-ni" which I had researched in the video.
It was so good! It's amazing.
The food and sake were both delicious!
Good evening, Mr. Pekkaal. I'm sorry to hear that you had to take a day off after going to Gojido 😭 but you made up for it with the Toyosu celebration 👍Dotte-ni and Toyosu are irresistible 😆.
Thank you for your comment, Hirupeko!
I noticed it at Tsuruhashi station.
Okura-san must have told you that, lol.
I couldn't get enough of Dote-ni and Toyo celebration!
Thanks.
Classic deliciously sour.
Not sour, but sour. That's just my opinion.
I bought it from the small bottles of various sake breweries at the roadside station.
I also went to Toyoshuku's store at the Kintetsu Namba station, but I don't think they had any memorable sake....
Well, you get the idea, right?
About a month ago, a Toyoshuku salesman visited my favorite liquor store. It was my first time to try this brand. As usual, I tasted all the bottles available for tasting.
My husband, who loves traditional dry sake, raved about this one: ‼️ It is not only hot and spicy, but also refreshing and has a mild middle palate. It goes well with squid salted fish, shime saba (mackerel), yakitori (grilled chicken), tako-zu (vinegared octopus), and other classic Akachojin snacks 😋.
This sake is a great way to get back to the basics of sake in between the slightly sweet, gorgeous, modern sakes ✨.
Good morning, Mr. Powan Powan 😃.
Toyoshu-san! I've never seen it before, but it sounds like a nice name that will make you happy when you drink it 😊We've been on the dry side lately! I'm curious about this one that your husband raves about so much 😍.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀.
When I spoke to the salesman and said, "Nara is full of good sake breweries these days", he smiled and said, "Did you know ‼️?" and the amount of tasting increased 👍 If you see one, please try it 😋.
