The couple next door had just left.
I wished them a happy wedding anniversary, and was about to congratulate them on their wedding anniversary, when the young proprietor quickly left a bowl of oshinko (Japanese pickles) for me!
So, just one more cup of somen, and to top it off!
I asked the owner if I should have hot somen noodles, but the young owner came out and told me that cold somen noodles were also available!
I was so glad to hear that, and I would be happy to have it!
Let's end with a dry sake, which is not my favorite but I had noticed on the blackboard!
It's a Sado Island sake from the Keio brewery!
The label says it has a Sake Degree of +20 or higher!
Oh, it's crisp and dry with a nice saltiness!
While we were eating the oshinko (Japanese pickles), the somen noodles appeared!
The somen noodles are made into bite-sized pieces, just like hegisoba!
The young master chef of Kokomishina, every dish is delicious with his own twist!
We finished off the evening with Soumen noodles in a broth with plenty of wasabi and ginger, which was as dry as the dry sake!
Still chilly in the morning and evening in Hokkaido!
Tomorrow, we are going to Obihiro for a cross-industrial exchange meeting!

This is one of the recommended bottles! They said it was purchased on Sado Island in Niigata 😊 I wonder if it's limited to the brewery, which means you have to go to Sado Island to drink it? Precious 🧐.
It was a nice sound when the bottle was opened 😊.
It tasted cloudy, shiny and robust 😍Corned beef and 😋.

Purchased at the brewer's booth at the Joetsu Kenshin Sake Festival last October.
It was purchased at the brewer's booth at the Joetsu Kenshin Sake Festival last October. I found out that the brewery is a reclaimed school that was closed down as a sake brewery. The café seems to be open, but accommodation is under preparation. There are other unique breweries, and it makes me want to visit Sado Island 😄.
The sake is surprisingly shwashy. It is the second micro-brewing in the bottle, so there is not much gas pressure, but when you pour it into a bowl, it is really strange.
I would like to try other Kanaderu series 😋.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi!
Manotsuru looks delicious 😋.
I've seen some sake with great bubbles when poured into a glass even with just the gas pressure - it's a wonder and I can feel the greatness of the brewer ✨.
Sado is my wife's birthplace so I'd love to visit 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
So this is your wife's birthplace😄.
I'll have to go there 😉.
It seems there are five breweries 😃.
I think I bought this sake because I tasted it and it was delicious, but my memory is hazy💦.
Hello @Mizuhashi😃
I had an image of Manotsuru as a hard-core sake brewer, but the Kanaderu series seems to set a new standard 🤩.
If I see a sake with a golden circle on the label, I will react 😆.
