The second restaurant is one that I have been curious about for some time. It has a lineup of Niigata's specialty products. There is also a standing drinking counter. I decided to have a drink.
Oh, it's Kamizenjosui! It's a kamizen nyosui. It is very easy to drink. It does not have any peculiarities.
The snack is "eringi mushrooms with spicy miso". It's outrageously delicious! Of course, it goes well with sake. It is sold at the store. It is a double starring role of sake and snacks. It is delicious!
The sake level is plus 18 degrees. The sake was easy to drink rather than spicy.
It goes well with snacks.
It is as if sea lions were singing. I nodded my head loudly (laugh).
I thought it was a perfect food sake. The synergy is too great!
It is insanely delicious!
It's not young, but it's not too siblingly either. Really, it is just the right amount of soothing.
Elegant and fruity. But not pungent and sharp. It has a rounded and cool image.
It is not the Hiroshi Abe of the Men's Non-no era, but the Hiroshi Abe of a little earlier.
Hi Pekkaal 😃
I was going to write that you are like me 🤗 after reading the first half 😅 but the phrase "Abe-chan's now" in the second half raised the bar 😆.
Rokumaru-san! It's so good!
It rained all morning today.
However, this month is "Nara Sake Enhancement Month. With my pants soaking wet, I headed to Asano Sake Shop.
This is Shinomine. The description on the order form said they use brewer's yeast.
It has a nice aroma. It is an excellent yeast! It was sweet and sour, but I thought it was a very well-balanced sake.
I paired it with curry cashew nuts and salmon cod roe. These go very well together.
Today was a day when I was impressed by the total "sake and snacks" compatibility.
It is a "Keg Draft Sake" from Dewar's. It is served in a wine glass.
Very fresh! It tastes freshly pressed and can only be enjoyed in a sake brewery.
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. It was delicious!
And the food is delicious!
It is said to be a limited edition sake for the fall season.
It has a nice, gentle aroma. Mellow and soft in the mouth. It is also a sake that goes well with meals. It is delicious!
We are going to win for sure!
This is the first Yamahai brewing at Kushira. It is an autumn sake.
Mild aroma. It is refreshing when you drink it. We had it with tempura and sashimi. It is a sake that goes well with both. I like it after all.
I went to the opening of the Fukuju brewery.
I arrived 30 minutes before the event, but the line was surprisingly long.
It was the first time for me to see the replacement of cedar balls. I also enjoyed the demonstration of Nada's sake brewing songs.
0 [Limited Sake for the first time at the brewery] 2 years old Junmai
The aroma was that of an old sake. However, it is really beautiful in the mouth. There is no sense of alcohol. It is perfect with a meal.
0 [New Sake] Junmai Nigori
It is a white nigori. It is not sweet. It does not have a "shuwa shuwa" feeling. You can feel the rice. It tasted like there was sweetness in a faint, distant place.
0 [New Sake] Junmai Ginjyo Nama Sake
It is fruity. We were happy to receive a new sake. It gives the impression of being a little firm, but it was very tasty.
0Warabi Sake
This is the sake we were served on the way home. It was a cask sake. Aroma of cedar wood. It was a very tasty sake!
Hi Pekkaaru 🐦.
I see you will be replacing the cedar balls and demonstrating 😳 A fun and spectacular brewery opening 😊👍I'm jealous because I love cask sake 😻
Hello, Pon-chan! Your demonstration of the sake brewing songs was numbing! In the future, I would like to stand on the brewery side too, lol.
I need to practice making a fist.
The barrel sake was the first sake I bought! It's delicious~!
Oh no, it's delicious!
I like Okura more and more!
This sake is derived from "Donzurubou" in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture.
The rice is, what a surprise, livestock rice! Boo hoo hoo boo!
This is not old-fashioned rice. It is "hoshiaobe" rice grown in the city for animal feed.
Mr. Okura's eternal "chuunibyou" (laugh).
It's a fun challenge!
Yes, it is good!
One sip and the image changes.
You feel the usual sweetness. And it doesn't linger as usual.
It may be more like a caramel feeling than a rich fruit. It seems to finish with a sourness.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%. It is junmai ginjo class. However, since the rice is not sake-making rice, it is said to be "ordinary sake".
I have wanted to try this sake for a long time. I am very satisfied!
This is a sake that I would love to see cows, pigs, and chickens drink!
Good evening, Mr. Pekkaaru. The price of sake rice has gone up tremendously, so it would be great if breweries would take on various challenges and produce good sake.
Good morning, AAJI! Sake is getting more expensive too.... I am sometimes surprised that a glass of sake for a drink out is the same price as a set meal. I am sometimes surprised. I hope that sake will always be accessible to us...
On my way home from work, I was informed at a liquor store that "Saku is in stock"!
This is the only way to go.
Enochi is the only choice. That's because Impression M was very tasty.
The joy of being able to buy Saku close to home. I may have already feasted at the stage of paying for it.
But after all, I will eat it.
Oh, it smells sweet. Smooth and beautiful.
Is it like a pear? It is fruity.
It's refreshing, but it may be the most robust of the crop.
This is delicious! I was very satisfied with the Sakusama!
Good evening, Mr. Pekkar!
It's great to have a liquor store on your way home from work 😁✨✨.
Sakusama's Enochi is delicious 😋!
I drank it at home again this year and it tasted as good as it smelled 🤗
Good morning, ma-ki-!
Made on the way home! It's the best. But it might be only this time. But I was happy because I can use my S point card too. Local talk (lol)
Thank you very much for taking the Hankyu train today."
Here is a drink from Osaka. What a surprise! This sake is a collaboration between Kiyotsuru Sake Brewery and Hankyu Corporation. Amazing!
The bottle is the image color of Hankyu Railway. The back of the bottle shows the station sign (lol).
I use the Hankyu Railway every day. I ordered it without thinking.
It tasted like the sake.
It was a delicious sake that would go well with food.
So, no second transfer today, we are at the end of the line.
This one is not as thick as the others.
There is a thickening feeling, but it is a clean type of Okura-san.
Sweet and sour. There is some bitterness and astringency. That is also good!
It's good!
Did the three-day weekend make it so? I went to Asano Sake Shop two days in a row!
Maybe Mr. Okura made me do so (lol).
I really wanted to drink it.
The aroma is mild. It is a nice smell of Mr. Okura. This one uses Edo yeast. The sake level is -10.
Of course, it has a sweet image, but the sourness also plays a big role. The balance is excellent. It has a smooth texture on the tongue, but I think it is a relatively light type of sake among Okura's. We enjoyed it very easily!
Pekka Ru-san Good evening. I am interested in Edo yeast. Even now, there are many kinds of yeast, aren't there? I live in Kumamoto prefecture, so I think my body is made of No. 9 yeast. I've become quite blended over the past few years 😅.
Good morning, AAJI! There are so many different yeasts out there!
Yeast No. 9! I see that Ryuriki is taking care of it here~!
I am from Kansai, so I am made with Takoyaki yeast. Why not?
Beautiful. Elegant. Gorgeous. Very tasty!
Not a single negative comment. No wonder it is so popular!
It is fruity, but its deliciousness is truly casual.
In truth, it is a sake that must have been made with a tremendous amount of effort. However, I thought it was a very stylish and smart sake that didn't let the drinker feel that.
I thought it was very stylish and smart!
Hello, Bekkaruru 😀
I see that you have posted a few times about this yakitori restaurant in Fukushima 😀.
They seem to have a great lineup of sake and I'd like to visit them once 😇.
Good evening, Yasube! It's a very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere! There may be a slight difference from the sake menu on the internet. Exit 3 at the west ticket gate of Hanshin Fukushima Station. JR line is also close by!
Good evening, ma-ki-san! This is the memorable restaurant where I had my first Shinmasa. At that time, I also drank sogapere, but I couldn't tell if it was wine or sake (lol)!
It's been a long time since I've had a new policy. This is your first time at Earth~.
I'm kind of nervous when I see the bottle in front of me (laughs).
The aroma is acidic. It has a smooth texture. It still has a sour taste, but it also has a light sweetness.
It has enough presence on its own, but it also goes great with food. It enhances the flavor of the food.
As one would expect from the world-famous Shinmasa! It is amazing!
This is my first dragonfly! I managed to make it~!
Fruitiness like grapefruit and muscat.
Fruity and fresh. It also has a sourness to it, but it gives the impression of being calm.
It is very easy to drink and goes well with food. We enjoyed it very much!
Yay for Sentori!
It smells very nice too. I don't know how to describe it.... Anyway, I can't get enough of it!
This is Okura-san with Aizan and No.6 yeast.
The sweetness spreads in your mouth. It is also powerful. The balance with the acidity must be exquisite!
It finishes the drink neatly. So it is an endless loop of drinking it again right away.
Delicious!
President Okura is the best! Everyone in the restaurant was smiling~!
In November, Asano Sake Shop is holding the "Sake Nara Fair".
On the 1st, Mr. Okura visited the store, so we went there~.
It was past noon, but the store was packed.
Mr. Okura, wearing a hachimaki, was serving customers with a fan in his hand!
He is loved by everyone!
First of all, I had a cup of Asahi!
I love Okura after all! (laugh).
The aroma is outstanding. Gentle on the palate. Ripe fruit. Syrupy sweetness, but zero stickiness. Not tart. Strong flavor. It is a very drinkable sake.
It was an extremely tasty sake.
Luncheon meeting after the Japan-U.S. summit meeting.
It seems that Umenoyado's Katsuragi Junmai Daiginjo was served! I feel kind of happy (laugh).
This is the sake we brought back from the recent brewery opening.
It is the opening of the Hanakinisake! I've been looking forward to it since this morning.
It smells great. Oh~~! It's so delicious!
The rice polishing ratio is 90%? It has no off-flavor, no habits, and is just delicious.
It is a waste of my poor expression to describe this sake. It has a moderately sweet but fruity flavor.
As you continue to drink it, it gets a good kick.
I bought a bottle of "Smooth Cheetara" at Lawson. It goes well with it!
In no time at all, I had my second cup! I'm in a good mood.
