The last of the drinking iron came from the bullet train.
You took one bottle with you from home.
Sake from Inagawa town.
It has a delicious bitter + umami taste😋.
Perfect for lunch!
Monkfish hot pot + ferry + sake
Sake with a little sourness.
Perfect for a pot with a strong flavor 🍲.
Local food and local sake is the best luxury 😀😀😀
More and more customers arrived at the restaurant...
I'm glad we got in early!
Hello, Pon-chan.
I was just looking at the ferry.
It looks like a new ship, and I wanted to go on it!
I had a one-pot dish and finished with rice porridge, it was delicious!
The last of the Koriyama drinks was Snow Komachi
Students were getting on and off at stations along the way, so we were drinking quietly...
Now the train is deserted. I am so grateful to the railroad company for keeping the local line running!
Koriyama's sake, three different kinds
This is a refreshing sake
Even if you don't have anything to drink, you will drink it in gulps!
When you drink it, you will feel a slight sweetness in your mouth, which disappears quickly and leaves you with a refreshing aftertaste!
Delicious!
Drinking Iron Part 2
We had to wait 30 minutes at Banjo Ishikawa Station because an oncoming train hit an animal.
Students were in a hurry... but I was just relaxing and enjoying the train.
I'm enjoying the stop at the station.
Wakanoseki by Wakanoseki
This sake has a little bit of a peculiar taste!
However, I like this kind of peculiar sake!
Perfect with horse meat👌👌
The last sake of the day, Koshinohomare
Last but not least, a cup of sake!
This sake is a little more peculiar than the previous ones!
But it is also delicious and perfect with local food!
That's all for today, as I have a business trip tomorrow!
By the way, the red train is a resort train called "Setsugetsuka".
I would like to ride on such an expensive train someday!
A cup of sake by the station with a view of the railroad tracks
Somehow today has become a cup of sake day!
This Nohtaka also goes down your throat easily!
It goes well with the dashi broth of the soba noodles!
I can drink as many cups of Niigata sake as I want!
Tomorrow is not good!
The soba was a little different, with mozuku seaweed in it!
Soba with soup stock + mozuku seaweed + sake, and a freight train!
I hope this kind of scenery will remain in the future!
Niigata, a drinking train trip
This magnificent building is a station!
When I arrived at the station, it was the meeting place for a children's group excursion. When I arrived at the station, it was the meeting place for a children's group field trip.
There is a station in the center of the city.
This Manjushugami cup of sake is what we call a regular sake, but it's also delicious 😋.
It's easy to drink, but you can feel the umami flavor and no cloying taste.
It goes perfectly with Kaki no tane (persimmon seeds) also from Niigata 👌
Drinking Iron Day 2 starts in Niigata
Niigata is a bit far from Kansai.
In the past, you could get there without changing trains by Shirotori or Raito, and when I was a child, I longed to take them when I saw trains bound for Aomori or Niigata at Osaka Station... but now, any route requires quite a few transfers!
But now I have to change trains quite a bit, no matter which route I take.
First of all, the green cup is very particular!
It's a sake with bitterness and umami 🍶.
But it's still refreshing and is a Niigata sake!
Now, it is raining and the sun is already setting.
An SL running at night is kind of cool, like a galactic railroad.
The last of today's drinking and eating is grilled and pickled salmon and Yaemon
It is grilled and pickled salmon, which is also delicious 😋 Sake goes well with it!
The sake is dry. It is crisp and tight, but it is surprisingly soft and tasty on the palate.
That's it for today: ‼︎
I really appreciate the railroad company for providing this kind of trip!
About 3 hours SL trip
Amazing 😍👍
With salmon soaked in sake...
This sake soaked salmon is not soaked in sake, it seems to be pickled by itself!
If you share a little bit of sake in a small cup and eat the salmon soaked in sake for a while, it seems to give you a sense of togetherness and it's really delicious 😋.
The sake is also from Echigo-Tsumari and was easy to drink!
Good evening, Nobu Nobu-san!
The SL~~ has a great atmosphere 😍!
I have only tasted Echigo-Tsurukame as a gift, but I have the impression that it is a very beautiful sake 😋.
The snacks are just like a drinking machine 🤗.
Good morning, ma-ki-san!
It was a nice and relaxing trip, with a locomotive watering the train for more than 3 hours!
I bought a cup of sake in the train, and it was a nice sake with no unpleasant taste!
This time, the drinking iron was from Aizu Wakamatsu on the way back from a business trip.
Although it is a reconstructed castle tower, it is a magnificent red-tiled castle tower.
I think the day will come when it will become a cultural asset like Osaka Castle. I think it will one day become a cultural asset like Osaka Castle.
At a restaurant near the castle, I had a bowl of pork cutlet rice topped with kozuyu (soy sauce and soy sauce) and sake!
This kozuyu with lots of ingredients is delicious 😋!
The sake is so smooth that it goes right through your tongue when you drink it, but the aroma spreads in your mouth!
Delicious!
The last stop on this drinking train was with an ekiben.
Purchased in Sendai, as it was a newly released ekiben!
It was sold with Takashimizu, which has become a rarity on conventional trains....
Oh, I forgot to check in last week!
Continuing to pick up some ascidians...
Joban Line, the brick tunnels of the old line are still there.
I think that after another 20-30 years, it will be a heritage of modernization. It is in such a beautiful state that I think it will become a modernization heritage.
This sake has a bitter taste in addition to the sweetness. This bitterness is delicious with ascidians😋.
It would go well with a variety of food 😀.
I'm on my way home this morning.
But it's a conventional train trip!
It's hard to drink in a very bumpy train 🫨.
I want to drink, but I want to eat nicely.
This sake has a lot of sweetness.
However, it has a nice aftertaste and goes well with sea squirt!
Sequel to the ship
I thought I might not be able to buy anything on the ship, so I bought a cup of sake near the boarding gate
It's a Hoya Boya sake, so I went with the Hoya.
Unlike the cute design of this sake, it has a pretty robust flavor!
It goes very well with the slightly bitter sea squirt!
Actually, I stayed in Miyagi again yesterday.
I really wanted to visit Okawa Elementary School, which was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, as a sign of repose for the souls of the dead...
So, on the way back, I took a boat from Matsushima to Shiogama instead of a round trip.
Chilled Ichinokura is refreshing!
The dry sake goes well with the sweet noshii-squid!
Marubun Steamship has openable windows, so it was nice to enjoy the sea breeze.
After Yamadera, a twilight cruise to Matsushima
This cruise is only available during this season. It's a drinking boat!
The same scenery becomes more sentimental when seen in the evening.
I mean...this view of Matsushima is really magnificent in person!
The sake is really refreshing!
It's as if the flavor and richness of the pickled cheese had not been there at all, and your mouth will feel refreshed!
The view and the sake, what could be more luxurious than this?
A drink after descending from a mountain temple
After a hard day's work, a drink is a special treat!
The slightly sour taste of this sake will easily penetrate your tired body.
It also goes perfectly with the second taro stew of the day!
Imoni is full of flavor from the meat and taro, and it goes well with the image of resetting it in your mouth!
Hi Nobu Nobu 😃
I would like to visit the mountain temple once 🥹.
But it's quintessential that you drink before and after climbing the mountain for worship 🤗That's helpful!
Jay & Nobby No, no, please don't refer to me.
You never know what can happen when you climb drunk 🙇.
But don't underestimate the sweet potato stew, it was really delicious!
Sake that goes in easily without corners.
But it has a delicious umami flavor.
Before going up to the mountain temple (Risshakuji), let's eat up!
A perfect combination of meat and sweet potato with taro soba noodles!
