しんじょう's Profile

Hello Shinjo-san 🐦. Mr. Ota, the oyster tempura looked delicious: ❣️ I was reading your review last night while drinking heated sake. I was really hoping for some sake steal here 😆.

Japanese>English

Hello.... Yellow chives, oysters, and mamakari, the mainstay of Okayama, are all here! I was jealous of the cheap sake thief here, so I looked at it. But I have to say, sakataki is the best with dry sake warmed up!

Typical cheap cup Kami-Sen There are two types of Mizuho Chrysanthemum: Mizuho Chrysanthemum Kami-Sen and this Daishoujin Kami-Sen. The Mizuho Chrysanthemum is more mellow and ripe. This one is sweeter with a touch of alcohol, but I think it's more refreshing. But it does have some ripeness. It can be served warm or cold. I think it would go well with good food in Fukuoka, but I regret that I didn't have time to try the Goboten Udo. Mizuho Kiku is also a good sake, and Fukuoka is the perfect place!

Ballpark Drinking (´¦) Rough dry deliciousness in a good way Slightly acidic and crisp It is considered to be comfortable to drink while having the goodness of cheap sake The blue cup on Friday was the color of the current Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, and the orange cup on Sunday was the color of the former Nippon-Ham Fighters. I thought Shibotan is a good sake brewer because I can enjoy both of them! No, they make good sake, and it's always a pleasure to drink it!

Ballpark drinking (・ω・・`;) It is a regular sake of Shibotan. It has a very strong aroma and a deep, rich, dense flavor. And it is a good sake with a dry taste. As expected of Shibotan! I think it is the best cup of dry plain sake!

It has a slightly sweet flavor and astringency, but also has the smoothness that only honjozo sake can have. It is suitable for warming up, and the astringency increases, which increases the variety of food items it can be served with. Kami-Sen is good, but the Honjozo is also good! I had never heard of this brewery, and it just happened to be on the way to Hakata from Chikuho City Tour, so I thought I'd give it a try, but it has become a new favorite! The atmosphere in Chikuho was great, and I fell in love with Fukuoka all over again!

Kokura, stand Fukusuke (¡Ω). Very refreshing and light, yet thick and delicious. They say it goes down your throat, and they are really right! I could use a little more of it! I think there are many other things that go well with it. I would like to try it heated as well.

Shinjo-san! I see you are in the middle of your visit to Fukuoka! I often go to Fukusuke stand in Kokura, all the way from Fukuoka city too 😆😆 Kokura is a mecca for daytime drinking ❣️ there are many good places to go, but this is my favorite place ⤴️ glad to share 😆😆😆!

Japanese>English

Good evening. Walking around the shopping arcade, I found many other good places to have a drink. But I'm thinking this is the place to go next time. This is the first time I've been to Kokura since I learned about sake, so next time I'd like to try a daytime drink!

I picked it up because of its very cute label. It is a very sweet and mellow sake! Izakaya Shinkansen (not Izakaya Shinkansen, but Izakaya Aircraft) I had a meal during the waiting time, so I couldn't eat any food, just sake. It's too good to be true! Oita is the best!

Good evening, Shinjo-san. Are you traveling to Oita? I am envious. Ryukyu is delicious, isn't it? Is it the soy sauce or the fish that makes it so good?

Japanese>English

Good evening. There are many delicious foods in Kyushu, but I don't pay attention to others and only eat Ryukyu. I guess you have to use sweet soy sauce. I'm going to have to go back to Oita for more Ryukyu, though my wallet is going to be cold for a while!

Beppu, a liquor store in front of the Blood Pond Hell (¡Ω;) The freebies are wonderful, with little birds flying around the store! Sake I bought here! The aroma is quite juicy and the taste has a sourness that enhances the richness of the flavor! It is also very strong when heated! It's not an explosion of umami, but the balance changes and you can serve it with a wider range of dishes!

Kokura, stand Fukusuke (´・ω・・`;) It has a very rich taste with a beautiful cohesiveness. I thought that this is a Yamahai-like Yamahai and suitable for everyone, but the sister who poured it for me said that it had a peculiar smell. I guess you get numb to it if you drink that kind of thing all the time. I thought it was light.

On my way to Hakata, I dropped by the Mizuho Chrysanthemum Sake Brewery. I heard there was a tasting today! If I had known that, I would have come earlier! I shouldn't have toured the shopping district! Well, that's all right... I bought a bottle of Josen and a bottle of Honjozo! I drank the Josen at the business hotel, and it is a very rich, regular sake with a nice sharpness! It's pretty good! It tastes even better warmed up! It was a bargain!

Kokura Stand Drinking (・ω・`) A new stand-up bar with a very frank atmosphere, called "Stand Fukusuke"! I don't usually buy draft sake, so it's nice to be able to drink it cheaply at a corner bar! It's nice to have a drink like this once in a while! I want to be like this sometimes! The menu includes Kokura's famous sardine broth, shiso garlic, and rakkyo! The shiso garlic went great! This restaurant has a Senbero set, which includes three drinks and two appetizers for 1,100 yen! I didn't know this, but the waiter recommended it to me when I ordered a variety of dishes! All in all, 3 drinks and 3 appetizers for 1500 yen! It was so cheap!

Japanese>English

Hello Shinjo-san 🐦.

Japanese>English

Good evening. It's really not easy to spend 2,000 yen at this restaurant! I wanted to drink local sake, but there were a few brands of sake fans' favorites, including Niimasa! Kokura is also a cheap place to stay!

Very sharp and light (16°) even though it is a raw sake. It has a strong umami flavor and the astringency is a good finishing touch. It can be heated up to a very hot temperature. The sharpness and sharpness will not make you tired of drinking. It's a brand I've never tasted before, but it's a very good sake. I've been busy lately and don't have much to say, so I went to Senjyo-ji near Kintetsu Nijo-san station and had a look at the weeping cherry blossoms. Even though it was early in the morning on a weekday, it was quite crowded! After all, cherry blossoms go well with sake! I know many of you have posted pictures of cherry blossoms, so I'll just take a crack at them!

Japanese>English

Good evening, Shinjo-san 🦉. The sake wrappers are pink and it's spring 🌸The weeping cherry blossoms are very beautiful ✨The blossoms are only 3 to 5 minutes around my area, so I'm glad to be able to see the cherry blossoms at Sake no Wa 😊🙏.

Japanese>English

Good evening. I didn't buy it with Sakura in mind, but it fit in nicely. Osaka was in full bloom today! It's going to be warmer next week, so I guess it's going to be a full bloom. There may be some rain, but I hope we can see the cherry blossoms.

It's a regular sake, but it's made from pure rice because it's made from rice that is not from the same grade. I can't tell the difference in taste if you're like me. It has a dry sharpness, but it has a strong flavor and richness. It also warms up well and brings out the umami. It is definitely overpriced! Mr. Mitamura drinking in Umeda The owner was wearing a funny T-shirt with the logos of Shin Umeda Shokudo Machi and Dewazakura for some reason!

I think the base is the Dewazakura sake brewery t-shirt from Uniqlo. I have one too👍.

Available in a vending machine at the brewery in Minamicho.... Very cheesy, old-fashioned printer-printed looking label excites me! The taste is dry and tasty. Heating up the sake does not drastically change the taste, but the flavor comes out well and you can enjoy it both ways! All of Minamicho's regular sakes are everyday sakes for those who like dry sake! There are three companies on Awaji Island, but all of them have good regular sake, so it's fun! I wonder if they put a lot of effort into food sake, since they are pushing "meshi umaimai" (good food) as their main selling point. If it's from a vending machine, it's 220 yen. If you buy it at a store, it costs 250 yen. Mr. Ota is a rerun of Asahikawa The izakaya called "Dokyu Sanshiro" is the most impressive restaurant.

It is served at a hotel on Awaji Island. Indeed, it is soft to drink, with just the right amount of acidity and astringency. It has enough umami. The sake level is 0, but it has a dry taste. I don't often go to sightseeing spots, but we had a little extra time and went to Fukura! I was told that the footbath was good, so I figured I'd give it a try. The Uzu no Yu (hot spring of the sea urchin) is too easy to aim for! I have passed through many times, but that was because I was a fool. If so, the water was very slippery and nice! It's just a shame about the footbath. Can't they do something about it?

Japanese>English

Good morning, Shinjo 🐥. Poof, I thought it was a little swimming pool 😳It's a magnificent footbath! And the quality of the spring is great 👍I wonder if you can make a hot spring ♨️ and they won't come? 🤔

Japanese>English

Good morning. Awaji Island doesn't have a hot spring image, and I don't think people come here for the hot springs. Or maybe there are too many inns and not enough hot water. This pool-like thing is nice because of the whirlpool-like water flow.

Shinjo, nice to meet you. Minamicho, it is easy to drink, isn't it? My countryside is Awaji, so I often go to Fukura, but there is a super public bath called Uzushio Onsen in Minami-Awaji City: ♨️ I think the quality of the spring is probably the same.

Japanese>English

Nice to meet you (********). Thank you very much. I didn't know there were places other than ryokans where you can enter. Next time I have time, I will definitely go there! I've been avoiding Nancho because my relatives said it was bad, but personally, it suits my taste.

A home run celebration (¡Ω)! It is a good Junmai sake with dryness but also acidity and graininess! The flavor becomes even more powerful when heated! It is the connection between the sake from Minami Awaji City and Ootagawa in Minami Awaji City! Forced!

I had some business on Awaji Island and was able to go and buy a Minamicho (¡Ω). It was so beautiful and misty. It doesn't rain much here, so it's nice to see something you don't often see. Unfortunately, Honjo Sake Brewery is closed on Sundays, but there is a liquor store in the neighborhood that sells a lot of Nanchou. There is a liquor store in the neighborhood that sells a lot of Nanchou sake. There is a bus stop called "Kunio" where there used to be a bench with the Nanchou logo! It is truly a Nanchang town! The taste is clean and mellow with a slightly astringent aftertaste. The aftertaste is a little astringent, so it is very satisfying! Mr. Ota is a re-run of Otaru Mr. Ota was singing "Tokyo Romantica" when he got drunk! I'm glad he's in a good mood.

Ura lost.... Unfortunately, I ran into Chiyomaru on my way home from buying this at Yamaya. He was being chased by a girl, but he agreed to take a picture with me. I don't know why, but Chiyomaru-tan said thank you very much! The inside of the bottle is normal, nothing special like Ura. It's just that the label is "Ura", but it's a good one-cup drink, so it's worth buying! I'm going to put it in front of the TV and make a wish while I'm in town! Decide! Taimoku Waruri!

Hello Shinjo 🐦. I hope you win Ura since it's your hometown place 🙏✨. I see you met Chiyomaru Tan 😻I hope you are staying near the Kokonoe room 😊.

Good evening... Lost again today... My feeble wishful thinking is not good, so I'll stop. I'm sure the Kokonoe room is in the city. Chiyomaru is very popular with the girls! But he treated me, an old man, very well.

I bought a small bottle of Kamisen, which was good, but not enough, so here it is. I found this at a convenience store and bought it! I am a cheap person, so I usually only go to Ramu or Gyosu and never go into convenience stores, but when I went to Lawson because I wanted to buy a book, there was no longer a book section, but a game section. I think everything is possible, and I hope that sake servers will eventually be introduced in convenience stores. Well, I don't think it will happen because there might be drunkenness in the store. And here it is! The cheap-looking label emphasizes the sharpness of the sake, but it is really sharp! The flavor is a little more mellow than a cheap cup of sake. If you warm it up, it's sharp and spicy. Lukewarm warming emphasizes the umami. It also tastes great cold, and each temperature range has its own advantages. After all, it made me feel that Nihon Zakari is a good sake!
