After drinking the Kijoshu, we'll go back to the top shelf for the sake we're interested in.
Comparison of the same bottle
Rice Magic Sparkling Junmai Daiginjo by Popularity Ichi!
There is not much left in the bottle, but when I stirred it lightly, it came out sparkling!
It's a refreshing change of pace to forget about the firmness of hiyaoroshi for a moment and enjoy the umashuwa!
We have another one to enjoy as well!

I'm getting a little tired of hiya oroshi and autumnal sake.
Let's add some sweetness!
Normally, this sake should be served as the last sake.

Autumn Poem - Kitafuneji Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
The Mizukagami I mentioned earlier had yeast 1801, which I liked.
This Autumn Poem is a hiyaoshi (cold sake)?
It was very robust.

The sake in the upper row, the manager himself seems to have examined what he was interested in at the liquor store and brought it in!
Asamegosei? Two kinds of sake I don't know!
Drink, drink, drink 🍶🍶!
This one is a little lighter than the last Hiyayogoshi, and has a delicious sweetness that I like!
Chewy deep-fried squid with shichimi from Kyoto!

I'm so happy 😀!

I'm going to attack the top shelf.
The manager says, "You can open your mouth if you want.
Then let's open it right away!
This is another unfamiliar brand!
Shinanonishiki Dai-harakuchi Junmai-shu Hiyoshi Oroshi!
Shinanonishiki itself is a sake I've had at Fukurokuju four years ago.
Like the most popular one, the mouthfeel is quite firm!
I have to say that Hiyoroshi is just like this!
But when you sip it slowly, you can taste the apple-like flavor on the tip of your tongue.
It's very deep!

I have to tell the manager.
I called him and I'm on my way.
He said he's moved into a new apartment near the restaurant by chance.
I asked for the usual all-you-can-drink for one hour.
He told me that he had a coupon for the top shelf drinks.
He said it was a housewarming gift. ㊗️
Small bottles and four-packs are displayed on the top shelf.
First, an unfamiliar black bottle!
A traditional technique of steaming in a Japanese kettle.
My first time drinking Popular Ichi, and it's not like I've never had it before!
This was my fourth time 👀 and it had been a while!
As the name suggests, it was a dark sake!
Heavy and robust!
I poured a glass full of it, so after this, let's go a little bit at a time!

Last but not least
Tosa Kochi sake!
We had this one a year ago at this restaurant!
Both Tosa Shiragiku Natur and Akigari are made into a fruity sake!
We drank them well!
Let's drink again!
It would be best if we could go to Kyoto.
The limited express train to Asahikawa was more crowded than I expected!
I got on the train without any problems!
I will study hard today!

Kawazuru's Featured Brand!
We had this Tanonota Junmai Nama Nama sake at Fukurokuju last year!
Tonight there is only a little bit of it left!
The last comment was that it had a pineapple flavor.
I couldn't get that image this time because there was so little of it!
Looking forward to the next time!
Yodarechicken is also delicious!

The manager is standing in the kitchen, leading the kitchen and cooking.
He looks so busy!
He quickly offered me this plate.
If you like, you can have these oysters with seasoning.
Thank you!
I love oysters💕!
I told him that I would be moving to Sapporo in the fall.
I promised to come back again!
The sake was Kame no Umi, which we missed the last time we were in Hakodate!
This is only the 4th time!
Of course it was my first time to drink Umakuchi Junmai!
Very beautiful and fruity for a junmai sake!
My younger brother seems to like dry sake, which is a little different from my taste, but there were quite a few dry sakes on the day, so he seemed to enjoy it!

There was also Eiko-Fuji!
We had a lot of Hiyayoroshi the day before, but we had to try it!
We had it for the first time last year at shigi38 and again this year at Noe in August!
Hiyoroshi is a good sake to put in between your favorite sakes, it makes a big impact!

Junpai-kun asking if you'd like to try some tuna sashimi.
Nice 👍.
The manager recommended a special sashimi mixed with other fishes as they didn't have any tuna in stock that day!
We also ordered shiso dumplings and sausages to go with our drinks!
My favorite Houou Mita found in the cold storage!
Black Phoenix Junmai Ginjo bottle warmed and hi-ire, twice on draft and twice on bottle warming!
I was able to drink the Gold Phoenix this summer, and the Black Phoenix is another Hououmida brand I can't pass up!
It was delicious and finished in no time!

I met this sake in Akita at Sakebai.
After that, we used to compare the raw sake and the fire-brewed sake at Ami in Sendai.
Colonel Lal also brought us Hoya Kimchi (sea squirt kimchi)!
This sake holds fond memories for me!
Less sweet than Kafuda Sake!
It is a delicious sake that is typical of Akita!
The first dish of the day was "Zangi"?
No, it was fried tuna!
Very hearty!
Let's drink it with assorted pickles!
We talked so much that we couldn't keep up with each other's drinking!

A junior who was transferred to Kyoto 2 years ago invited me to Sapporo for a drink.
He asked me to introduce him somewhere.
He said he was already there and had a beer.
Tonight we started with an hour of all-you-can-drink sake!
There are 32 kinds of sake for this night!
I found a packaged sake, so let's start with this one!
The "Shifuda-shu" (tankba kumi-kumi) "Tanba Kumi Tamarei Fresh" Junmai Daiginjo was drunk at least twice each, both on the hi-ire and the nama-shu (raw) side!
Sometimes the label notes are "fresh and light", sometimes they are not!
I like sweet sake, though I don't have the red stamp on the nama-shu, leaving aside the profundity: ❤️

Yamadaho this day, the second time!
I paired the tomato flavor of the pasta with this crisp, dry sake!
After this, we finished up with some Saku and ginger ale!

Found two types of Kawazuru 💡.

I was wondering how much time was left for all-you-can-drink ⏰.
At that time, the manager came here with a new bottle of sake delivered that day!
As usual, he said, "Please have one of these, I'm so happy!
It's a work of art!
I'll save the last one for last and drink all I can drink first!
(I was really interested in the Senkin Kabutomushi.)
Naturally, the sake was warmed up and the sweetness was spreading!
