After getting off the ferry, we went on a bus tour of castles.
Since I didn't have a car to drive, I was ready to drink, but the only chance I had to drink was a glass of raw sake at lunch 😂.
At the last minute, 5 minutes before the meeting, I found a souvenir shop selling coins and had a drink 🤣 A little sweet, only 30ml, but it was my first Fukuoka sake and it filled up the map 😁.
The photo is of Kokura Castle, the only one of the three castles we visited that has a castle tower.
The second drink is a dry one with a lot of guts.
We also had tuna that had not been caught and frozen
We also had red and medium fatty tuna that had not been caught and frozen!
The taste is suitable for hot sake!
Even if you drink it cold, it was a great sake with the melted fatty meat of the medium fatty tuna.
A bottle purchased at Osato Sake Brewery.
It was very gentle and reserved, perhaps because I have been drinking a lot of Saga's sweet sake recently.
However, it is firm, refreshing, and sweet. If the Saga sake is refreshing and floral, this one is more relaxed and reserved.
At any rate, it is a sake that gives the impression of being a little away from glamorous.
I am very, very much looking forward to visiting sake breweries tomorrow. I wonder if it's okay to have such fun the day before...
Let's compare the sake including today's...
I thought that Kyushu must be quite a good place for sake, and I am Kuroda Bushy from Fukuoka.
I have been drinking a lot of different kinds of sake recently, and I think my palate has become dulled in terms of its characteristics... (I mean, I am chronically drinking too much).
It is a daiginjo, so it has no peculiarities that bother me, and I drink it every night like I am obsessed with it. It ran out too soon... what a waste...
It has a refreshing to mellow taste, a refined throat and no unpleasant aftertaste.
Thank you very much.

Next, the Kuroda warrior purchased at Iijima-san earlier.
I thought I would definitely like it because it is brewed with white malted rice, and I was right.
It was a great choice!
While I was buying smoked chicken.
I dropped by the brewery and bought some 😁.
It has a crisp and clean taste that is typical of white malted rice!
It's got a good sweetness, but it's still sharp 😆.
This is delicious 👍
The second one is a sweet potato shochu called "Bud Senbonzakura"!
It's only available this season, so I bought it!
It's a blast of sweetness with hot water 😆.
It's also delicious👍
