Summer Travel in Northeast Japan (4)
This summer, Niigata Airport→Sendai Airport✈️
This summer, we are going on a trip to the southeastern part of Japan, connecting Niigata Airport to Sendai Airport.
The fourth bottle is called Yei Yei Issui (盈盈一水),
The fourth bottle was a sake called Yeiyo Issui from the Higashinoroku Sake Brewery in Nanyo City, Yamagata Prefecture.
It is a regular sake made from Junmai-Daiginjo spec. ordinary sake made by polishing up to 50% equal rice of Yamagata sake rice developed for Daiginjo and Junmai-Daiginjo, which is then aged in ice temperature for about 2 years.
Almost crystal in color.
The initial aroma is sweet strawberry with a hint of nuttiness.
The taste is clear and sweet, with a mildly matured richness that flows smoothly from a thickened mouthfeel. The aftertaste is pleasant, with a fine bitterness that softly tightens the palate.
It is a delicious sake that one would be tempted to buy as a souvenir.
The second day of the trip started with rain ☔.
After leaving Bandaisan, which was not visible in the fog until the end of the trip,
Kitakata is of course ramen🍜.
We went to Bannai Shokudo. The salted pork bone broth was delicious.
From there, the rain started to fall harder and harder,
I was almost heartbroken, but I headed north in a straight line to Yamagata 💨.
Somehow we made it to Yamagata station,
After checking in
I dashed to the nearby Kanamori Sake Shop!
I met this sake at Yamagata Sake Kaku-uchi.
It will bring you back to life 🍶😮💨

Good evening, Hirupeko-san!
Unfortunately, the second day of your summer trip to the southeast north of Japan had bad weather ☔.
I didn't see any sake, but it was from Tenyumi's brewery 😲.
I hope you enjoyed a lot of delicious sake in Yamagata too 🤗.

Good morning, ma-ki-. I was thinking the same thing. I have seen Tenyumi before and tried it. I guess local sake tastes even better when you get it in the area 😊.
