Timeline
superbebeThe last drink of the day is Nichinichi
I have always liked Sawaya Matsumoto and of course now I like the new Nichinichi!
Slightly effervescent and citrus greef-like sweetness and bitterness
Light and gentle
Goes well with any food and this is a great food sake 🥹.
The next day we went for a drive touring in Aso!
Comfortable😄Kimoe 😆😆😆.
We drove from Kumamoto via Minami Aso, Aso Panorama Line and Aso Milk Road 🚗=3
The road condition was very good and the scenery was amazing and nice!
The golden grassland was like a carpet!
No matter how many times I drive this road, I never get tired of it!
Thank you for the beautiful weather and such a beautiful view 🤗. ellieGood evening superbebe 🌙
I too love Sawaya Matsumoto😊I fell in love with it when the Toji Hinodehiko was still around.
I don't have a chance to drink Hinichi in Shizuoka and I envy you... 🥲. superbebeGood evening, ellie!
I like Sawaya Matsumoto.
I haven't had a chance to drink Sawaya since Hidehiko Matsumoto left.
It's not easy to see him 🫠.
I don't think I've seen you in Japan the last few times I've been traveling 🤔. superbebeThe fourth drink was No.6 R. It's been a long time since I've had it.
The owner recommended this drink.
He said, "We sell it cheap." 😆
Chilli with a gassy feeling.
Fruity, mild sweetness and sourness
Delicious paired with grilled chicken 🤤.
Next morning, we first drove to Aso🚗🎶.
I felt the grandeur of Aso🌋😮😮 and enjoyed it!
On the way to sightseeing, we went to "Jigoku Onsen Seifuuso" for a day trip to a hot spring ♨️
Mixed bathing with swimsuits, a rarity in Japan!
One day trip bathing fee includes bathing suit and rental bath towel!
The road was narrow, it was raining lightly in the morning, the mountains were covered with clouds and fog, and it was truly an unexplored region!
When I went there, it was early in the morning and the bathhouse was almost completely reserved 🤭.
The "sparrow's bath" here is a rare foot gush.
Bubbles kept coming up from the bottom.
It felt so good!
It was fun chatting with two local men!
It was a wonderful memory of my trip to Kumamoto 😚.
Seifu-so was devastated by the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016 and was restored in 2019.
Now the bathhouse rooms and all the buildings are so new!
Please visit to support the recovery 😊. しぇり〜Hi superbebe☆(*´ч`*)
I love the magnificent view of Aso. You can enjoy the power of the volcano and feel the mountain is alive 🤔.
Great that you can drink No.6 during your trip 😂. superbebeHi, Shieri!
I would like to visit many places in Japan ❗ I would like to visit many places in Japan 🚙💨
I also want to drink various kinds of sake in Japan 🤭. superbebeThe third drink is Katakana Ryuriki.
It's fun to meet a sake I've never seen before 😚.
I think Ryuriki is also good since it's the year of the dragon 😆.
I checked and it's a sake from Hyogo Prefecture.
It's a solid sake.
It's crisp with no aftertaste.
The rice has a great umami flavor, but it's super dry.
Excellent with chicken patties!
The fatty flavor of the patties is great!
Goes great with dry sake.
The restaurant uses a lot of local ingredients, which made me from overseas enjoy eating there!
Kumamoto's famous red eggplant 🍆 fresh, fluffy, and extremely delicious!
Kumamoto's ginkgo nuts are also great 💕 I love them 🤭!
Sake is so good!
By the way, the sake here is cheap!
600 yen per glass!
Shinsei is a little more expensive but it's only 700 yen 🤭🤭🤭.
Photos 2 and 3 are of Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, a town where carp swim peacefully 🎏☺️
Picture 4 is an unmanned food stall in Unzen Hell Tour.
Put a cat there to watch the stall 🤣🤣.
Unzen is a cat paradise
Japan is peaceful today 😊. さけランGood evening bebe 👋
Surely you have never seen katakana Ryu-ryoku!
So you are in Kyushu this time?
I'm sure you've never seen Ryuriki in katakana before. 😂 superbebeHello, Sake Run!
This is difficult 🤔.
There are so many places I haven't been to yet.
And many places I have been and would like to go back 😆.
It may take years to conquer the map of Japan 👀. superbebeSecond glass of Fukkai Nigori
My favorite drink on this Kyushu trip😍.
This is why I bought two bottles to take home 🤭🤭.
Like the famous Hiran, Fukkai is a sake from Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture!
Fukuda Shuzo's new brand, the brand name has changed from "Fukuda" to "Fukkai"!
Isn't it awesome that their debut is nigori? 😚.
pitchy for a microbubbly, slightly sweet
soft and tasty
acidity clean and nice
mineral and greeful bitter aftertaste
very dry and suitable for a medium-bodied wine
If you see it, please give it a try!
Picture 2 is Shimabara Castle
Photo 3 is Kumamon
Photo 4 is also Kumamon
Kumamon is everywhere in Kumamoto City 😆😆😆. ジェイ&ノビィHi superbebe 😃
A very fulfilling and fun-filled trip to Kyushu! It's fun for us to read about it too 😊Fukuda-san didn't get to drink on his trip to Hirado the year before last 🥲Fukkai ‼️ this looks delicious 😋can you find it? superbebeHi Jay & Nobby!
I love the spirit of Hirado 🥹.
Thanks for taking the time to read it properly 😁.
Glad to hear it~! superbebeYou can buy Fukkai in the Kanto area at Inamaya!
Now the second rebranding is Fukkai Yamadanishiki Nama Sake!
Hope this helps 😅 superbebeUnzen in the morning, wander to Shimabara city, and take a ferry to Kumamoto in the evening. 🛳️
Dinner was at a yakitori restaurant which we reserved in advance.
Yakitori is made from Higo Akadori chicken, Kuro-satsuma chicken, Koudoro chicken, and Amakusa Daioh chicken.
Selected as one of the 100 best yakitori restaurants for the first time in 2023!
The owner was kind enough to seat us right next to the yakitori stand so that we could chat 😆.
The quality of the meat, the charcoal heat, and everything else was of a very high level!
Chochin is the best 🤭!
I ate four of them 🥺.
It was a great memory!
The aperitif was Sundo!
Sundo is so beautiful and delicious!
Shuwa shuwa and fizzy!
I can't stop drinking!
It has a light but not outstanding acidity.
The alcohol level is low, so it was a dangerous sake that made me lose my pace.
The second picture is from Unzen Nita Pass looking towards Kumamoto.
It is a great view of the Ariake Sea 😎😎. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
