Today's dinner. Dewazakura is recommended by Rui Yoshida. I enjoy it with oden, but it would also go well with nabe (hot pot). It is delicious and never gets old!
Today's dinner. On my first business trip to Towada City in a while, I wandered into a restaurant near my hotel. The sake is made by a local brewer, Hato Masamune, and is only available at restaurants in the city. I had no choice but to drink it. The sake is refreshing and easy to drink. It went well with sashimi and horse sashimi.
Today's dinner. I went to my usual restaurant, Kisoba. The last time I stopped by, the restaurant was full and I couldn't get in, so I made a reservation. Zenkichi Hiyoshi Oroshi" (Hiyashi Oroshi) is a very good sake. It's a great sake.
Today's dinner. At my favorite soba noodle restaurant. I had never had this sake when I lived in Iwate. It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness, and I never get tired of drinking it. I think I might like it. Sorry for making you carry a bottle.
Today's dinner. There were several summer sakes on the menu, so I chose a glass of a sake I had never had before. It was a refreshing sake, perfect for a strong-flavored meal, a bit like the first glass of drunken whale. With wasabi.
Today's dinner.
It has been raining since this morning, so I haven't gone outside even a single step today. On a day like this, I had this for dinner: "Yukino Kayasha. Akita sake is served in an Akita glass. Tonight, too, I had a glass of sake in the kitchen while preparing snacks. It is a refreshing and stable taste.
Today's dinner. On my first business trip to Akita City in a while, I ate yakitori near the hotel and went to a convenience store while dodging touts in Kawatami. I wanted to drink a little more, so I chose "Mansaku no Hana" (flower of mansaku). It had been a long time since I had had this. It's a refreshingly dry sake, perfect for a nightcap.
Today's evening drink. Hanaharu Shuzo's "Yume no Kanade".
This bottle was recommended to me by a liquor store.
As the bottle says, it is fruity and has great flavor. It is also reasonably priced.
Today's evening drink. The second bottle at Yokocho Heyi.
I tried Kirinzan after reading the comments on the menu. In a word, it is light and dry. My colleague chose Kuroryu. That's not a Niigata Prefecture sake!
Today's dinner. On a business trip to Shinobata City, Niigata Prefecture, I went to "Yokocho Hey" in front of the station.
Sake here is basically served in small bottles, not in bulk or anything like that. I personally think this is the way to go, as it does not oxidize like a full bottle.
I had the Tsururei, and my colleague had the Jun of the Shimehari Tsuru. Now, what should I try next?
Today's dinner: for the second day in a row, I visited Han-soke near Miyako Station. As soon as I passed through the curtain, I was greeted with a "welcome home" call. In addition, a "Good work, you've worked hard. I am already a regular (laugh). Ippo" is a Japanese word for "Ippo" in Japanese. It is a sake with a strong rice flavor. Tonight, we toast with sashimi, edamame, and yakitori!
Today's dinner. On a business trip to Miyako City, we had a bottle of freshly brewed local sake Senryo Otokoyama at Han-azake near Miyako Station. Served with assorted sashimi and fried oysters.
Today's evening drink. I bought "Mansaku no Hana" from Serion on a business trip to Akita. It has a robust flavor and goes well with Japanese food. Tonight's snack is yakitori (grilled chicken) that I bought from Nippon Ichi. I also bought some Iburi Gako (pickled ginger) from Serion, so I will have it with cheese afterwards.
Today's evening drink.
I bought this bottle for a friend's birthday celebration at Sendai Station.
It has a refreshing taste and is perfect as a food sake. It was also good with the pizza I bought from Lopia.
Happy birthday to my friend!
Today was a very lively and festive day as an adult gathering was held nearby.
On such a day, I drank today's evening drink. I bought a bottle of "Ichinokura" special junmai sake at a nearby liquor store.
I couldn't resist a glass of it in the kitchen while I was making some sake. It was quite tasty with a hint of sweetness.
Today's dinner.
You might say that I drank a lot on my business trip, but... yes, that's right!
Senryo Otokoyama from Miyako City's Hishiya Sake Brewery. I had a glass yesterday, and today I had a glass of "Ko" recommended by the proprietress. Yes, no doubt about it.
Today's dinner, No. 2.
As we had come all the way to Miyako City, we decided to try Miyako City's local sake, so we asked the store owner about it. Yummie!
Today's dinner.
Since I was on a business trip to Miyako City, I thought I would drink Miyako City's local sake... but I ended up ordering the standard local (Aomori) sake. In fact, I am the type of person who can't be adventurous. Hachisen, delicious!
