The final course was Tsuneyama. I wanted to go to the brewery since it was within walking distance from Fukui Station, but due to time constraints, I visited Kuroryu Shuzo, so I had it at the end of my visit to Fukui. It was juicy freshly squeezed and tasted delicious with the flavor of rice.

Following Echizenmisaki, the second sake was Eiheiji Hakuryu. This brand is often seen at liquor stores these days, so I tried it in Fukui. It was fresh and smooth, and I finished it in no time.

We had this at a kappo izakaya (Japanese-style restaurant) in front of Fukui Station on our way to Eiheiji Temple. It is said to be a limited edition completely made-to-order by the restaurant. It was refreshingly dry and went well with their specialty, grilled mackerel on the beach.

I dropped by Wadaryu on my way to Okazaki Shuzo to buy Kamerei. The new sake was sold out and the fridge was almost empty, but the friendly brewer told me that he brews pure rice only, so I bought a bottle of nama-shu. It was rather refreshingly dry and had a fresh flavor that was very easy to drink.

It has been a long time since I have had a Kubota. This is the first time I've had anything other than the Kotobuki series. As expected of Kubota, it has a refined sharpness and flavor. It feels like it flows down my throat smoothly.

This year's New Year's Eve bottle is Shinshu Kamereizan Ke Nishiki. This is a bottle that I acquired last year during a visit to the brewery. It is fruity, with a peachy sweetness and acidity that is truly delicious. It is a pity that you have to go to Nagano to get it, but it is a delicious sake.
