Izakaya Shinkansen Modoki①
On the way back from Yamaguchi business trip, I went to Izakaya Shinkansen Modoki (izakaya shinkansen) as usual.
Hoping that there is no one next to me,
(If the person next to me is also a drinker, I don't have to worry about it 😅)
Today we went to Houtori Tsuru.
I knew the name, but this is my first time to drink it!
When I drank it, I got a solid and sturdy image.
(The label pops though)
But, I also feel sweetness and sourness?
A little crisp? A bit strong?
If I had to divide it into two categories, would I say it's dry? Dry? It's not light.
Today's dish
Harekaze
Hochotatsuru
Harada
Char-grilled Chicken Harami
Isobe-ten (small sardine fish)
Salad roll
Chochoten
Fresh Green Tea Gairo
Since I had a late lunch today, I avoided a gutty menu and went light 😜.
Not that it really matters, but I bought some Iyemon Yuzu-cha (yuzu tea) to drink instead of water for relaxation.
It tastes good, but is it more like yuzu juice than tea?
Okayama, still light outside ☀️
Sorry, everyone!
After all, it's more refreshing to drink while looking at the scenery outside than in total darkness 😘No one comes next to me ✌️
Good evening, Takashi😄.
You're home already, aren't you? Welcome home 😆.
It's a splendid izakaya shinkansen 🚅!
I'd be surprised if there was a person sitting next to me having a party like this 🤣 but I might be jealous ❗️
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😊.
I knew it 😅.
The lady sitting next to me yesterday must have been pulled over too 😂.
She might have told someone that she ran into a strange uncle 🤣.
I'll try my best not to be discouraged 🥳.
Good morning, Takashi 😃.
Shinkansen...no, this is an izakaya 🏮😳.
I laughed at the amount of alcohol and the seaweed rolls sticking out of the seat next to me 🤣.
Good morning, Hiro 😊.
Shin-Yamaguchi to Shin-Yokohama, 4 hours, so that's about the amount of food 😅.
The trick is to empty a plate around Shin-Yamaguchi - Okayama, where the probability of people coming next to you is low because the table is full 🤣🤣.
Hi, Takashi 😃.
I like it 🤗every time I visit the izakaya 🏮 it's getting a little bit more 🤗I guess the day will come soon when we will even use the table next to ours 😁.
Very spicy assertion and juicy flavor(s).
It is a raw sake that goes especially well with salty food, and it also goes very well with warmed sake.
The bonito sakataki (dried bonito) went really well with it!
Mr. Ota lives in the Bikan area
The Bikan Historical Quarter is a great place for sake shops, but Mr. Ota's main profession is art, so he was touring the art museums!
I'm a fool, so I can't understand a word of what he says when I look at art!
Hello Shinjo-san 🐦.
Mr. Ota, the oyster tempura looked delicious: ❣️
I was reading your review last night while drinking heated sake. I was really hoping for some sake steal here 😆.
Hello....
Yellow chives, oysters, and mamakari, the mainstay of Okayama, are all here!
I was jealous of the cheap sake thief here, so I looked at it.
But I have to say, sakataki is the best with dry sake warmed up!
The last of the day.
This is also Yamada-Nishiki.
The flavor is smooth and gentle.
It is fresh and has a Yamaguchi feel.
The spiciness is added to the umami, and the aftertaste is smooth.
First time for Hochodzuru.
The owner recommended it to me,
I had never had a reasonably priced bottle before, so I bought it,
I bought it.
It is a junmai, unfiltered, raw sake made from Yamada-Nishiki.
It has a freshness like a pure sake,
The label on the back says that it has a good kick.
The label on the back says it has a nice sharpness.
It has a really good balance of acidity and sweetness.
It has a really good balance of acidity and sweetness.
Can be drunk on its own or with food 👌👌
Another good sake I found 👋
Price: ¥1540 (720ml)
Cranes: 🕊️
60% Yamada-Nishiki polished, unfiltered, raw sake for 1,540 yen 💴!
A very good value for money ✨.
Of course it goes well with sashimi and grilled eel liver,
It also goes well with impactful meals like dumplings 😋.
It was refreshing and easy to drink ✨.
Junmai-shu Yamadanishiki Ooragarami Nama-no-Nama-shu
3080 yen The apple-like aroma and sourness reminded me of renbu. Have you ever had renbu? Crunchy, fresh, bell pepper-like, apple-like.
I've seen Hochozuru at many liquor stores, but I've been putting it off for some reason and this is the first time I'm drinking it😅.
Slightly effervescent. It has quite a fruity aroma, but it's quite dry and not too sweet.
I wish it had a little more umami 🤔.
The aftertaste is quite spicy...
The more the temperature is close to room temperature, the more umami, sweetness, and gorgeousness will increase 😋.
After 2 days, it tastes better cold 😊.
