Timeline
ラル大佐The other day, I had a lunchtime drink with an old friend.
The place was an izakaya near Sendai station. We only went in because smoking is allowed. We started with sours and then moved on to sake.
There was a good selection, and I ordered a bottle of Yamamoto Pure Black.
The sake is served in a tokkuri (sake bottle) with the words "Yamamoto desu. I immediately poured it into the sake cup...?
Even I, with my stupid nose, could tell that there was something strange about the scent of the upper part of the bottle.
I was convinced after I put it in my mouth. It was a totally different cheap sake.
The bitter taste was probably caused by brewing alcohol. The difference from the expected value was too much, and it tasted really bad!
Maybe it's just izakaya alcohol, but this kind of business practice makes me angry. How can a guy who sells sake make his customers hate sake?
I apologize for my poor writing.
Hiran was delicious, sweet and vinegared!
Don't abuse me, I'm not allowed to use the word "sake".
〜I hope anyone who does business in the wrong way gets a stomach ache!
Thanks for the food! 熊谷 朋之Hello, Colonel Lal sir! 🙋
For sake at an izakaya, make sure the sake is in the fridge properly, and if possible, have them bring the bottle too for a picture!
Or rather, bring the bottle and pour it in front of me! That's what I'm saying. 😓 ラル大佐Hi Kumagai 😁
You are right! Having it poured in front of you is the ideal form 👍.
When ordering from a smartphone these days, there are some parts that you can't order exactly what you want, so in the end, the key is to choose the right restaurant 🤘. 
ラル大佐The couple who joined us at the counter, we had a great time talking about wrestling and other things, and ordered Tenka Nishiki, which they recommended!
They told us that they used to live in Aichi for a long time and that Tenga Nishiki, which they learned about during that time, was their first choice.
While listening to a short story about the brewery, we took a sip first!
The fresh and fruity taste is apparent the moment you take a sip! The sweet and tasty acidity is a direct hit. No wonder I'm so taken with it. If I had known about it, I would have highly recommended it.
Sake is interesting because of encounters like this!
Please don't abuse me, I don't care what you say about sake!
〜I'm sure the summer vacation in Tohoku will last until the end of August, right? 〜I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Thank you very much for your hospitality! ma-ki-Hello, Colonel Lal!
It's a fun time for drinking when we get together next to each other at a bar 🎵.
I remember this sake recommended by a liquor store as a souvenir from a trip to Kenshima a long time ago 😋.
Sake is interesting, isn't it🤗. ラル大佐ma-ki- Hi 😁.
You are right! Getting excited from strangers is the best part of drinking outside ✌️ and you live in the neighborhood.
I wish I could visit Kenshima 🤘. ラル大佐First time drinking Ko no Tsukasa
I don't think it is available in Sendai area.
I learned about this brand from Sake-no-wa, and since it is my uncle's name brand, I really wanted to send it to him, but I was hesitant to spend the shipping cost to buy it.
There is a certain desire among sake drinkers to give a gift of a brand related to a person's name, etc., and to make a smug face when you see the recipient's face, isn't there?
It is a low-alcohol summer sake, with a refreshing sweetness and umami flavor, and a crisp finish.
It was even better than I had imagined.
I wish I could give this kind of sake to my uncle Takashi.
Please don't abuse me. Sake words without my permission.
〜I'd rather connect with people over sake than money.
Thank you very much for the food and drink! we015010Junmai-shu with a clean, crisp flavor, made from 100% Dewa-no-sato produced in Yamagata Prefecture. It can be enjoyed with food at a wide range of temperatures, from cold sake to hot sake. 立山ギンレイThis is my first Miyagi sake. Tight taste.
It is still a restaurant for after-parties, so we go for ramen because it is not enough. It's authentic tonkotsu (pork bone broth), kotoko kotoko, and gives a punch to the stomach, and I am very satisfied. 立山ギンレイI think it might be my favorite of all the drinks we compared this time.
Eggplant stew and seasoned guts. Cheese grilled with miso came out on the stove. It was a bit expensive.
The taste of a small restaurant on the verge of extinction. 立山ギンレイCut and dry.
One of the six dishes on the menu was meat tofu.
It was a hot dish that made my stomach hot from all the cold sake I had been drinking. 立山ギンレイWas the sake strong in habit?
The mouth rinsing soup was a nice touch, a thoughtful way to make the sake more palatable. 立山ギンレイThis sake has no peculiarities, and the umami of the water is alive as it is.
Four brands of sake, each served in a sake cup? The sake is served in a sake cup that suits each brand. The sake is served in a cup suited for each sake.
The restaurant is more like a snack bar or a bar for those who want a quiet drink. A video introducing railroads all over Japan is played on repeat, but the content is 20 years old. The videos of the Kurihara Rural Railway and Miyoshi Line, which no longer exist, bring tears to the viewer's eyes. On the contrary, the videos are sure to be a source of conversation. ラル大佐Sime is Hirotogawa
I guess this is the old label and font, but I don't really know.
There is a slight sake flavor on the upper aroma.
The mouthfeel is gently sweet with a strong umami flavor. The closing acidity and bitterness are also gentle and mild.
It is a delicious sake full of gentleness.
Thank you very much for your kindness! ラル大佐Next up was the Red Wu.
This was my second jade this year, but I have not posted it yet, so here it is.
The overall flavor is clean and well put together with a good sweetness and umami. It has a nice lightness that does not make it feel too heavy.
As expected of Mr. Akabu. It is a gem suitable for early summer.
The green object on the top is grated garlic. The special soy sauce sauce and the power of the garlic are unbeatable!
Thank you very much for the meal! ラル大佐Next, Du Lai
Although there is a store near our house that carries this product, we have not had the opportunity to get a chance to try it.
It has a clean, fruity taste with the core strength of junmai (pure rice), and the umami is also sufficient. The finish is also refreshing with a mild acidity and bitterness, so it is easy to drink and enjoy.
The entrées here are inexpensive! Well, it's okay if that's all you want because you get 6 items as an appetizer, but there are many items on the menu that you'll be interested in.
Thank you very much for the food! 
ラル大佐Shitaizumi, my first brand.
It has almost no upfront aroma, and the mouthfeel is classically delicious, but the slight acidity that comes at the end is nice, making it a delicious sake that you will want to drink one after another.
I finished this bottle with what I drank. I asked if I could pour the little bit left at the bottom of the bottle into my glass, but was told no because it was for the master's consumption.
He said that in order to serve the sake in its optimum condition, he checks every change in taste from the time the bottle is opened to the time it is empty.
I have never seen a shopkeeper who takes sake so seriously.
He said, "All sake store owners do this, don't they? He said something like, "All sake shop owners who serve local sake do it, right?
Thank you very much for the sake! さしゅーHi Colonel Lal 😊I know the owner of this izakaya. He has many certifications such as sake taster and I got my sake navigator certification here😊I think he is really sincere about sake. ラル大佐Sisu, Good evening 😁.
I didn't know you had that kind of connection😄I'm convinced that if you are a lecturer or something, this is the right attitude 😊. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
