しんしんSYI always ask for pasta at this restaurant 🙏.
This day they served Tachi peperoncino!
It's a seasonal dish!
I asked for cheese powder and had it sprinkled on top of the pasta!
I can't help but feel like having another drink when the tsukune (skewers) are also served!
Let's go with seasonal dishes!
Santa Claus' baeken!
Of course, it's my first time!
Let's open the mouthful!
It's described as "super dry," but it's fruity on the palate.
But the final taste is designed to be very dry.
With the rest of the entrée, we're done for the day!
Three kinds seem to be just right these days.
Unusually, we left after about 40 minutes!
The next day, a year-end party with Mutsu's master in Yamagata!
Let's save our energy for this one!

On the way home, we were given a lot of potatoes from the town of Setanamachi, where the owner's parents live, as a souvenir!
Thank you very much!
I will enjoy them with my wife at home.

It's hard to go far.

Then let's go this way which is close by 💁.
It's been a while since I've been to Peach Blossom Peach Blossom.
They had an event last weekend.
We decided to skip the all-you-can-drink deal and just have a little bit of whatever we wanted.
We started with Chiebijin!
LOVE PINK, they served draft sake!
I've had LOVE PINK once before, 3 years ago!
That time it had a white label with a pink heart ❤️
This time it was a clear sake like a rosé wine!
A little pinkish with a hint of ogedami.
The waiter slowly stirred the wine to open the mouth.
The aroma was a bit flowery.
Taste is a little sweet rosé wine
LOVE PINK, I like this one better 🫶.
I heard it takes a little time to cook, so let's start with the appetizer!

But this black-lettered Minami Special Junmai was actually my first time!
As expected, it was a dry sake!
I was given a sake cup about two thirds full to try out the taste!
There was still some food left, so we compared the dry sake while eating them!

The menu said "Junmai" but what came out was Junmai Ginjo!
And the name was Plus+ Dry Junmai Ginjo, which was unfamiliar to me!
From the second half, it was dry all the time!
The day before, we had been satisfied with high spec sake, but tonight was a complete change and we went for the dry!
I'd like to change the taste a little, but the other two sakes are spicy too, probably!

I have had many Kamikawa Taisetsu brands, but this flagship Tokachi Junmai was a first for me!
It is crisp and dry.
But it also becomes deliciously sweet after a while in the mouth!
It is a good sake 🍶.
I always look forward to ordering the pasta of the day at this restaurant 🍝!
Tonight it was tomato and mozzarella cheese pasta!
It goes well with sake.
Especially with dry sake.
I finished the pasta while it was still warm!

Message from the master brewer
The brewing water used at Hekiunkura is a medium-hard water with a considerable mineral content.
The influence of water on sake is considerable, and compared to the soft and delicate taste of the "Midorigaoka Brewery", the pure water of "Hekiun Brewery" is much harder.
Compared to the soft and delicate taste of the "Midorigaoka Kura," this junmai has a "goku goku" (gulp) taste.
It may be said that this Junmai is a drinker's sake with a "goku goku" taste.
It may be said to be a sake for drinkers. しんしんSYWhen you order "Hidatakami", you will often get this super spicy one.
It's still very spicy!
It seems that the spiciness will continue for a while from here!
The entrée is Zangi, which is the first time to order here, and Tempura rolled with fresh ginger!
I think it goes well with the spiciness of the fresh ginger!

Then, please ask for Akabu!
The unmissable AKABU F came out!

Please do so!

The waiter agrees that it is delicious!
When I ask her to pour it into a glass, it looks like it's been a little while since it was opened, so there was no shwash, but the sourness and sweetness spread out 🙂.
