Fukui Reinetsu Trip in Summer (2)
A 3-day/2-night trip based on the Echizen coast.
On the second day, a footbath at Awara Onsen (hot spring), Tojinbo, Borgara rice, and a sake brewery are called "Hana Candle".
The sake is served lightly chilled.
The aroma is of ripe apples with a hint of barley.
The overall taste is light and smooth.
The nose has a soft apple-like sweetness, followed by a brandy-like smokiness, and the taste of rice cake. The aftertaste is bitter with a sharp acidity that gradually fades away with an astringent taste that lingers on the tongue.
The peak of sweetness and umami, which changes from soft sweetness to smoky and thickens, is followed by an astringent finish that is interesting.
After a day of drinking, the smokiness settles down and the sake becomes lighter and easier to drink.
On the second day, we enjoyed a leisurely evening drink while watching the sunset on the Echizen coast and re-searing grilled mackerel sushi.
I can't tell you how happy I am to spend the time leisurely as the sun sets and the moon turns to a crescent moon 💕.
And all the while pretending to be a stylish dinnertime drinker,
In fact, I made the painful mistake of forgetting to bring a sake cup this time.
I'm drinking from the big mug provided in the cottage😅.

Volga rice! Looks hearty and delicious 😋.
After the sunset on the first day 🌅, we had a stylish time with grilled mackerel on the second day 🥹....but then we had a big mug 🥛 for dinner 🤣 what a relief 😁.

Thank you, Jay & Nobby! The Volga rice was so big that it made me feel like a glutton 🤣I'm like me when I think I'm staying at a cottage and I accidentally forget the boar cup 😅.

Hi Hirupeko, good evening here too 🌛.
Actually, the locals don't eat Volga Rice as much as they say 💦.
They do eat "oroshi-soba" and "chuka-soba" though 🤔.

Hi Gyve. I asked the owner about the origin of Volga Rice and he was like I'm the first person to ask that question 😅 so I guess it must be so 😅 that's part of the good trip 😊.

Hello Nobu Nobu-san. I was so impressed that even just the free footbath at Awara Onsen can make you feel like you are in a hot spring. ♨️ It was a very satisfying trip to Echizen, where I thoroughly enjoyed the nature, food, and drinks! Today and tomorrow will be great days for sure😊.
