Summer Travel in Northeast Japan (2)
This summer, Niigata Airport→Sendai Airport✈️
This summer, I went on a trip to the southeastern part of Japan, connecting Niigata Airport to Sendai Airport.
I was the only driver this time.
So I was told to keep the alcohol consumption to a minimum 😭.
The second bottle is Chuo's Black Label R4BY.
It is a souvenir sake from Gonoi Sake Brewery limited edition sake brewed by Akebono Shuzo nearby.
It is a light cloudy color with big bubbles of shuwashu and cream color as R4BY.
The top aroma is sweet, apricot-like malt aroma, hinoki (Japanese cypress), and rice aroma of ori.
The taste is refreshing, with a bitter bitterness and a full-bodied koji rice flavor.
The dryness with bitterness was not in my image of Akebono sake brewery👍.
On the first day, we drove east from Niigata to Aizu on the Ban-Etsu highway.
Then we went sightseeing from Aizu Yanaizu to Aizu Sakashita.
First, we went to Aizu Yanaizu Station on the Tadami Line.
I fell in love at first sight with Hitarito's red baby doll, who has a papier-mâché workshop in the station building, and whose backside made me happy.
Then, we went to Aizu Sakashita for a full lunch of horse meat, including horse sashimi and sakura yakiniku, and then to Gonoi Sake Brewery.
However, while getting the midori,
I made the mistake of forgetting to see Akebono Sake Brewery! There are three breweries within a 100 meter radius of Gonoi's 💦.
Now I have another reason to go back 🤣.
There is one more brewery in Aizu.

Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
When we went to Aizu family trip by train 🚃, we went sightseeing but couldn't stop by a liquor store, so I'm jealous 🥹Next time we will travel by car 🚙 for overnight sake drinking! I'm aiming for that 🤗

Good morning Peco-san🌞.
Akebono sake brewery is not so much of a sake brewery as Hiroki and Toyokuni, so it is easy to miss it. When I went there in spring, I passed it by once too 😂.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. You must be jealous of the sake brewery 🤗 I would say, but I went to Aizu and didn't get to visit the sake brewery at all😭When shall I take a revenge?

Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. Akebono Brewery has a modest storefront, doesn't it? Hiroki caught my eye right away - too frustrating 😭Next time I'll take my time touring the breweries 😤.
