This time it's Oriental whey🦊 from Happy Taro, who brews craft doburoku. I finally got to go there when I went back to Shiga for Obon! We went to Happy Taro-san's at Lake Scole in Nagahama. I had the pleasure of meeting Taro-san and brought home a brewery exclusive Oriental Whey. Oriental Whey is a doburoku made by combining the whey from the cheese shop in Lake Schole with spices as the brewing water. It is served well chilled. The appearance is that of a frothy cola doburoku. The top aroma is fresh yogurt with spicy aroma of ginger and other spices based on cardamom. The taste is like a sweet and sour lassi full of craft cola, and the second half has a light milky rice taste that is tightened up with a spicy hot taste. The lightness of the 7% alcohol content makes it as easy to drink as a cola 🤣. To match this oriental whey, I went to the library and checked out a book called "My First Spiced Curry" and made a keema curry. I've never made a curry without curry powder before, and I managed to finish it while staring at the book😅. Pairing homemade keema curry is a good thing 😋.

Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃I had this doburoku and herbal tea before, but I guess it was not a good match, the glass didn't go on 😅But I am curious about the cola-like craftiness. Maybe I'll try again next time🤔.

Good evening, Wakata-san. I see the herb tea didn't suit you 😢 Now you can drink it at the Hanshin Department Store's Fermentation Market so you can compare the two 😊.

Hi Peco 🐦. I've never seen this label before, the color of the sake 😳It's a brewery exclusive 😻And whey is the brewing water, that alone gives it a fermented feel! The spicy aroma of the sake and the keema curry sounds so delicious ❣️

Pon, sorry over here too 🙏 I can't think of the idea of using whey as brewing water. I'm sorry to hear that, Pon-chan! It's interesting that you can try it 😊.
