I am enjoying the ice bucket on the counter, choosing one after another from the four-packs of bottles. I was attracted by the name, "Rice Ichimitsu," and drank my 8th glass.
It is a sake from Saitama, but I didn't know it was in Saitama City.
The all-you-can-drink prepared was mostly junmai. According to the master, a higher grade course would be a better sake.
It was also the first time for me to taste sake from Nagasaki.
Shinshin SY has been making weekly business trips to Hokkaido, but he will be moving to the Sapporo base by himself starting in November, so Beksan and I had a send-off party tonight.
We started with Hokkaido hiyaoroshi. By the way, this restaurant has an unusual atmosphere.
Festivals were held here and there in Honmoku on this Saturday and Sunday. Mikoshi (portable shrine) was passing along Honmoku Street.
At home, we had sushi and sake for the first time in a while. I have only two bottles of sake left that I bought in Akita. The sourness of the sake is a good taste.
The third drink was Yamagata. It is a bit different from the Yamagata sakes we have had so far, and quite dry. The more I drank it with food, the stronger the flavor became.
After a long time, I went to Denbei in Yokohama. The first sake was Suehiro from Fukushima. It is a summer sake, but it is not as acidic as I expected and has a robust taste.
The rainy season is over and the hot and humid summer is in full swing. It is the day of the Ox of the season, so we are drinking at home with eel as a side dish.
We bought a bottle of Akita's Fukkomachi in early summer. It is very easy to drink. It was delicious.
The 8th glass is Shinmasa's Kijozo-shu Hinotori. A sweet cup to finish off the meal.
And I was very satisfied with my kakiage-don!
Now I have a reason to visit Kushiro again. Thanks for the food.
Finally, 600 check-in!
On to the 7th drink of the day. The milestone drink was made in Hokkaido! The entrée was soi (sea bream), oysters, and kinki tempura.
The entrée was soi, oysters, and kinki tempura.
Hello Mexican Tequila! 🙋
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The tempura with a robust flavor and Kitanokatsu Junmai sounds like a good match! 👍
Good evening, Mexican Tequila 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check-in✅🎊🎉.
I thought it must have been a fun drinking time with all the colorful drinks and tempura 🤗.
The sake party continues. Here comes the sixth glass, another Shinmasa!
The ecru is quite tasty. The entrée is tuna kamatoro on nori tempura. Thick conger eel too.
