We visited Kuroda, a famous yakitori and harami yaki restaurant in Kokubuncho. It had been 8 years since my last visit. The last time I was here was after Junji Inagawa's live performance. There was a customer from Glay's live performance that was held on the same day next to Kuroda, and we had a lot of fun together. After leaving Kuroda, we headed to San Ichimaru-Sen. I could drink many kinds of drinks. For a start, we went to Kangiku. It is a clear, crisp, sweet and sour summer sake. It is delicious no matter who drinks it! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Colonel Lal. Good morning (Translated by) Kuroda-san and a cold chrysanthemum? A little bit. I was a little scared. I want to drink Kangiku, but I can't find it easily. I have not been able to find it yet 😢. I'll try to google it, Sanichimaru-sen-san 😆.

Good morning, Kurimomosan 😁. No, no, it was beer and shochu at Kuroda's 😅 Recently, more and more stores are selling Kangiku, so I think it's easier to buy it in Tohoku than in the past 🤘.

It has been a while since I drank Kurosawa. It was produced in 2022, so it has been a little while, but it's been well managed, so you can drink it with peace of mind. When I first opened my mouth, I was not sure if I could finish the whole bottle, but after a week in the fridge, I was surprised! I was surprised! The heady aroma is of aromatic citrus fruits! On the palate, the acidity, which had been so insistent, has been rounded out, and a good sweetness has appeared instead! It's good! It has opened up. The salty acid bitterness and a slight astringency finish it off nicely and crisply. I'm glad I left it here! Thanks for the treat!

Kuririn drinking comparison, followed by Kanazawa Nishine The light orange one. This one has a gentle sweetness and moist flavor! It is a sake that will make you feel tender with just one sip. Even Putin should try this one! I was surprised to see such a difference in flavor just because it was grown in the same town, but in a different area. Hmmm! It's so deep! Both are delicious, but I personally prefer Rokugo Higashine. Thank you very much for the food!

A gift from a fellow sake drinker who, for some reason, calls himself my disciple. I don't remember taking an apprenticeship, nor am I the kind of person who could take one, Misato Nishiki from Misato Town, Akita Prefecture. The rice and specifications are the same, but the comparison is based on the different rice-growing regions. It is very interesting from a trial point of view! Now, first up is Rokugo Higashine. The pink one. It has a very pleasant sourness from a refreshing sweetness! It is very good! Thank you very much for the treat!

Kaorutaka obtained through a black market deal with a sake teacher. Thank you, as always, for this precious bottle for me! So, I sent it to our company's sake lovers' party. I wondered if it would be a good idea to drink it while eating yakiniku, but yes! It's not bad at all! It is a middle-class sake with a comparatively strong flavor, so it has a strong presence without being overshadowed by the meat. The sharpness is also very clear, so the fatty feeling is also smoothly washed away. It is a rare sake, and I don't know if the brewer is doing it or not, but please pass it on again next year. Thank you very much!

Another bottle was opened at the Kizuna Festival. Golden crystal that saw the light of day at Izakaya Shinkansen. Gold Crystal label expressed with a characteristic figure. It is one of my personal favorite labels. The top-tasting aroma has a very classical sake flavor. The mouthfeel has a light umami from a hint of sweetness. First contact is lighter than expected. The finish is again full of sake-like aftertaste, with a mild acidity and a strong bitterness. I had imagined it to be a more mellow and stand-alone sake, but it is considered to be a high performance food sake. During the festival, I served it with tempura and dried scallops that I bought and brought with me, and it was quite good! Thanks for the food!

The weekend was the Tohoku Kizuna Festival. This event brings together festivals from six prefectures in the Tohoku region, and was started in 2011 as the Tohoku Rokkonsai to pray for the recovery from the earthquake disaster. The opening of the festival rotates among the prefectures, and this year's festival was held in Sendai! Aomori Nebuta and Akita Kanto are hard to miss, but for me, Iwate Sansa Odori is the best! I wanted to go to the Nagashi Odori dance on Saturday, but I got the wrong time and had to wait two hours before the festival to get a spot, so I was able to get a bench at the base position under the Sendai Tanabata decorations. Well, let's wait for 2 hours while drinking. The top aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is sweet and acidic, which is enough to convince anyone to drink it! The moment you take a sip, you will be saying, "This is delicious! The flavor is also very good. The umami is also well balanced, and the gentle bitterness at the end is also nice! Each layer of sweet, sour, umami and bitter flows in a gradation. We are determined to repeat it! The Nagashi Odori dance started with Fukushima Waraji Festival, followed by Sendai Suzume Odori, Yamagata Hanagasa Ondo, and Iwate Sansa Odori. Miss Sansa was so cute that even the old man was swooning. Thank you very much for the dinner!

Travels in Kesennuma - Extra Edition After returning home, I asked my wife to wholesale the dried bonito we had bought, and had a drink while soaking in the afterglow of the trip. I bought a 4kg-plus extra-large bonito. Even though most of the first bonito is dry, this size has a lot of fat, and the cut end shines with a marbled color. The belly, back, and garlic slices are thrown into the mouth. Blissful time. I paired it with a bottle of Miroku. It is a summer sake from Otokoyama in Kesennuma. It has a dry base, but with a hint of sweetness, and when combined with the fat of the bonito, it is blissful time ver.2. The end result is a refreshing way to wash away the blood and fat of the bonito. This completes the endless bonito loop "Bonito Purgatory󠄁 Hell". Other sashimi festivals, such as flatfish, sea squirt, and scallop, leave you with the best afterglow, and your trip to Kesennuma is oh-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so! I'll put up some pictures of the fishing at the end. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

The master kept serving us sake, and I think we had about 20 bottles. If we have enough stock, we can drink Shinmasa and Jyushidai as much as we want. It was impossible to try them all.

Travels in Kesennuma, Part 4 On the second night, we stayed at a hotel in a hurry, and were treated to a dinner by members of the Kesennuma Jinrikisha Wooden Craft Association, who are also friends of ours in the prefecture. As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, they said, "Come on over and have a drink with Sagi! I rushed to the restaurant and drank three cups of sake! The hot sake was poured into their cups. There was no such thing as an idle beer! Kesennuma fathers, you must be afraid of them! It was a very exciting and meaningful time. Wakakoma's Aizan It was surprisingly refreshing with a sweet taste.

Travels in Kesennuma, Part 3 As the rain began to intensify, we decided to cancel our planned overnight stay in the car and made a hasty reservation at a business hotel. We were lucky to get a room, but on the way to the hotel, the rain gradually stopped. By the time we checked in, it was completely fine. It was a good thing we didn't stay at a hotel! The day ended with a sense of having done something wrong. This is our first visit to Golden Sparrow! I thought there was no chance to drink in Miyagi Prefecture, but we haven't even met enough to call him Golden Chun-Chun. Thank you very much for the drink!

Travels in Kesennuma Part 2 From the second day, we went fishing, which was the original purpose of the trip! We heard that recently there is no fishing even in Oshima Island. My wife was taken to the breakwater and I to a friend's boat in Oshima, and we attacked root fish. The boat team went around from Ura-no-hama to the oyster farming area of Nagaura Suisan of Asadora. It is indeed a very shifty area, but it is not impossible to catch fish. We landed 6 flounder of about 30 cm. The reason why there are no splendid pictures of flounder is because we were concerned about the guide of the bowfin. It rained in the evening, and we had to leave the fishing rod. Now, the hanging mouth of Kuroryu. It was my first time to drink it, and I had an image of it being rich and mellow, but it was surprisingly refreshingly sweet and tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

Last weekend I went to Kesennuma for the first time in a while! The first bonito have started landing at Kesennuma port, and the purpose of this trip was fishing, bonito, and drinking! On the first day, I went to Shunsaya KEN, an all-you-can-drink sake bar, with a friend from Oshima. This restaurant offers unlimited drinking for an unlimited amount of time. It's so good! The father of the restaurant was so pleased that he offered us sake after sake after sake. So, since I drank quite a lot of different kinds of sake, my memories of each drink are a bit fuzzy. First Chiebijin It was Aizan, but it was unexpectedly sour. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Grandma Mama's Group Story #6 Oh no! If I'm having a good time, it's already the last train! The fun time of talking and laughing goes by so fast, doesn't it? The last drink is Isoboast! There is only one store in Shiogama in Miyagi Prefecture where you can buy this sake, so there is no way to avoid drinking it. Even though it is a honjozo (honjozo sake), the upper aroma has a fruity flavor. The mouthfeel is clear and fruity! The acid bitterness at the end is also mild, and the sake is so well made that you do not feel that it has been soaked in alcohol. The party ended here. On the way home, Mom gave me a precious bottle of sake as a thank-you for my visit to Tenmei. It's at a level where I have to wonder when to open it, so the review is yet to come. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Grandma Mama's Group Story, Part 5 I had brought the "Tenmei Leap" as a present to Mom, but she asked me to taste it for her. She graciously agreed, and I was able to have a little taste. As the label on the back of the bottle said, the aroma was modest, but the sweet and sour flavor that Tenmei is known for was on full blast! The taste was smooth and elegant, and the acidity with a touch of sweetness burst in the mouth. It was so elegant that it made one wonder if it was a kijozo-shu. It is so elegant that it makes one wonder if it is a noble sake. This is delicious! Thank you very much for the sake!

Grandma Mama's Group Story #4 The grandmothers, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they were all excited to get on the gas and get going. They were as excited as they were when they were working, and they said, "Oh no, the most exciting thing we talked about at the pub was 💩! The content of the conversation was no different from 30 years ago... This kind of socializing is too enviable. Hamachidori is also a first for me. I don't feel much of the scent, but it has a crisp, dry taste with a hint of umami. It has a classical taste, but it is a delicious sake that has enough of what you want. Around this time, karaoke started, and we sang "Island Blues" over Hamachidori, and the night went on. Thank you very much for the dinner!

Last weekend, my wife and I went out for a drink. After a light yakitori dinner in front of Sendai Station, we took my wife to her grandma's snack bar, which she was very interested in. There was a great lineup of sake in the fridge again today. It is hard to believe that this is a small bar in the middle of nowhere! The first round of drinks came out with something like Jikin's Omachi! Tasting service! Mr. Shinzawa's Aratomi Rockfest bottle! Soft and light, with a restrained assertiveness and aroma, but firmly delicious! Mr. Shinzawa is a master of his craft! It is a good match for any kind of wine. Thank you very much!

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!
