First day of business trip to Kobe
On this day, I had a casual drink with a colleague from my former job.
After preparing our stomachs at Bokkake no Taku (Photo 3), we had sake at Sake brewery!
The only Hyogo sake on the menu was Banshu Issen!
We started with this one,
I had four light glasses of sake to prepare for tomorrow!
Here is just one of them!
Hanyou Otokoyama Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
My first brand
Mild aroma, strong taste 😍.
Similar to Tamagawa's naturally brewed series.
My favorite flavor 🥰.
This is a great sake find 😁.
Hi TOMO 😃
Welcome to Kansai!
I'm sorry I can't make it and can't meet you 😢.
But 4 light drinks on the first day 😳.
I'm looking forward to seeing you and your friends in Kansai 🍶😁😁.
Good evening, Aladdin 🌟.
I'm sorry I can't meet you 🥲.
Kobe is nice to have many restaurants where you can drink sake properly😊but this time I didn't drink much sake from Hyogo😅.
☀️
The waitress said, "This label is rare among the Hanyo Otokoyama.
When I heard "rare", I couldn't help but drink it.
The flavor of the rice is very strong 🌾.
Mild on the palate, with a hint of alcohol 🤔.
The ginjo aroma coming through the nose is irresistible 😊.
Surprisingly, it became sweeter when paired with tuna 🤗.
Trolley texture.
Powerful value of 18 degrees, but...?
Surprisingly refreshing and gentle taste.
It has a silky sweetness and a light but rounded rice flavor.
There is a hint of bitterness.
It is not as guttural as expected, but it is a dense sweet and umami type.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
Sasa no Mai at Sasakawagare
Drinking iron from this morning!
I've been on a tightrope of new projects at work lately, so please forgive me for this kind of cheat-die once in a while 🙇.
Delicious cup of sake!
The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing!
It goes well with the greens and miso flavor of the Benkei rice balls.
By the way, I had over an hour to change trains at Niigata station, so I had my first Bus Center Curry!
Even the mini portion is very hearty!
Momotaro ice cream was also perfect for a body heated up by the curry!
On the Rikuu-Nishi Line substitute bus
I have only a few more business trips left in Tohoku, so I can't wait for the Rikuu-Nishi Line to reopen...
I hope that the line, including the substitute bus, will do well as a local footstep.
This time, it was nice to take the substitute bus while looking at the railway line, which is a different feeling from usual!
The sake was still cold, so it went down my throat smoothly.
The sweetness like sake lees soup passes through the mouth, and the taste is refreshing at the end.
Perfect for summer!
☀️
Mellow taste with sweetness and umami 😊.
A classic combination of good looking sake 🤗
The ginjo aroma gently passes through the nose.
The ginjo aroma gives the sake a clear throat 😙.
Purchased at the Yamagata Antenna Shop in Ginza.
It has a soft but firm alcoholic aroma.
It is light and dry, but has a mild sweetness.
It has a smooth, high quality feel that is not typical of Kamisen.
I drank it cold, but it would be good warmed next time.
Hanyo Otokoyama matched with Koei Kiku.
I've been drinking this brand for four years now, back to Ami, four years ago!
This is only the second time I've had it.
