しんしんSYTempura are coming out one after another!
Master says there are 17 kinds of tempura!
Sea urchin wrapped in seaweed!
Usually they are from Hamanaka, but on this day they were from Hidaka!
Mentaiko (cod roe) is also wrapped in nori and served as tempura!
One more drink before the final dish of Kakiage Tendon!
The first one was Kuroryu Shizuku!
I have had this twice before at Sakura!
Kuroryu is a sake that is usually hard to find!
It was a very elegant sake!
The snow is still falling steadily!
The employees were clearing the snow in front of the restaurant!
Thank you very much!
Next time I will be back at the end of June with Mr. Bec and Mr. Mexican Tequila 😊.

Chivalrous Chivalry
This is a brand I first encountered at Sapporo Q when I was just starting to like sake!
And on this day, it was an old sake!
Let's sip on this rich sake!
Sakura has a great selection of whiskey as well as sake!
They have several kinds of whiskey that cost about 30,000 yen a bottle!
I think I'll try some at the party with my friends in June!

It was so sweet!
I asked the master about it, and he told me that it is distributed in Hokkaido under the name of "sweet lily root" and is used in parfaits and Japanese sweets.
I was also allowed to try one of the raw ama-yurine, which was also really delicious!
The sake was Niimasa's standard sake No.6 R-type 2022!

One with sculpin liver paste on top, and the other with saikyo pickled gimpo (ginkgo) tempura!
Each one was a masterpiece 😋!
The next sake was the third year in a row at Sakura, a Human Junmai Daiginjo from the brewer Kuheiji!
A slightly weighty sourness that is different from the acidity of the flax cat!
As time goes by, the heaviness slowly increases.
Sake is a wonder 🍶.
I was hungry again this day, so I will take as much as I can 🍤.

We had a reservation, so we arrived on time ⏰.
The master had not arrived yet, so I had a chat with the employee and had my first drink!
We started with Amaneko, a Junmai-shu made with white malted rice ▶️
We often come across Shinmasa at Sakura, but this was the first time for us to try Flax Cat!
Delicious sake with a sour taste!
I felt at ease when Shinmasa-san was served!
The master came, so we started with sashimi!
We had a meeting for June and also did some reconnaissance.
I heard that other customers cancelled the meeting that day, so I had the restaurant to myself!

Seven different kinds of sake, which one should I try?
Instead of the brewer Kuheiji, Bakuren, and other Hokkaido sake served to the other guests, I asked for this one, which was a bit visible in the cold storage!
This was my first request of the day!
Tsuneyama, not Jozan!
It's quite dry and crisp!
I'm glad I asked for this one, as I don't often encounter sake from the Hokuriku region!
Tuna sukimi tempura and kakiage tendon to finish off the meal!
We finished up all the food this day!
I will visit again with my friends at the golf & sake party in June!
I brought some Peter Pan bread for the master and the waitress and thanked them for their hospitality this year and said I look forward to working with them again next year 🌃.

Thank you for choosing our sake from Fukui 😁.
The brand name reads "Jozan" but the name of the brewery is "Tokoyamashuzo" which is a bit twisted 🤣. しんしんSYThank you for your guidance, Mr. Gyve. There are many chances to encounter Fukui and Ishikawa sake here. I'll make sure to bring more attention to Fukui sake in the future☆. しんしんSYSake is about to turn around.
Tempura and sashimi are still available!
Hakurakusei is a standard sake often served here!
It is well-known as a food wine like white wine!
The guests around us were eating at about the same pace.

I'm looking forward to visiting them on the same day!
It's going to be a New Year's greeting!
By the way, I wonder how much tempura and sashimi will be served tonight!
But I'm hungry, so I hope I can make it to the end!
Thanks also for the best sake combination 🥲.

It seems that the last time we drank it, there was still some left over!
Last time, they opened the mouth and let it sit for a while, so there was no fizziness.
I'm not a fan of Yamahai, but this one is fine🙆🙆.
Tempura was suspended around here.
Sashimi was served in the middle of the drink, a rare occurrence!
The order was unexpected!
Let's leave it to the master!

Long time no see, Gacky.
It's a classic moegi color 🍶.
A crisp and delicious sake 🍶.
Another purpose of this day!
My friends and I have been having a golf ⛳️ and sake (Japanese sake) party, and after Hakodate the other day, we decided to have it here in Kushiro next time!
The date has been set and the three of us have made a reservation for the next meeting in June 🌕.
I had seen large shiitake mushroom tempura on social media and wanted to try it.
Odd number of customers at the counter that day!
I was the only one who got two shiitake mushrooms!
That's a lot of food 🤫.

When I asked for the next drink, the waitress said she had saved it for me because it was rare!
I'm sure it's rare because I couldn't find it on the internet.
Indeed, I looked it up again, but it doesn't appear on Yatsuka Sake Brewery's online site either!
Sake-no-wa, it doesn't show up in any of the posts from the past two years!
Then I'll gratefully accept it!
Like the black bottle, the bottle is jet black with rainbow-colored 🏳️🌈 year-old letters.
Almost no aroma here either!
The taste is lighter than Saku.
It is a light sake that doesn't make too many assertions.
Tempura should be savored without salt.
Chilled sake is also good!

Yatsuka Sake Brewery in Oita, let's remember... ♪ しんしんSYI recently introduced a close friend of mine to this place and he enjoyed it!
So I visited at the end of the year to thank you.
Thank you very much for your help on that occasion 😊.
Well, I will enjoy myself tonight!
There were 4 people at the counter, including a couple, a business person, a foreigner, and myself!
The master started with tempura, which was unusual this time.
The sake came out, and I had never seen this label on a black bottle before!
The sake was nicely polished so there was no cloying taste!
But it has a firm sweetness that gradually spreads in your mouth!
It's a good sake!
We started with sesame tofu and shrimp heads.
First of all, let's drink it in small quantities.
A brief description of our knowledge of the sake
Rice: Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 40
■Alcohol content: 17%.
The name "Yozan Ichidropsui" comes from the teaching that "the existence of all mountains, rivers, plants, and trees embodies the world and all things in it, and that even a single drop of water contains the life of Buddha.
The pursuit of a noble ideal of sake is, as a consequence, the accumulation of our daily deeds."
This sake was created with this in mind. しんしんSYLet's end this day with a drink, here.
We are going to another restaurant after this.
Master brought this for us.
Here's the opening!
Yoshidagura u
It was a fresh sake with just the right amount of acidity!
Tempura is a rolled fillet of Akinatai fish, which is my first time to try it!
Oyster tempura from Atsukishi, served with tempura soup!
I was so full!
Now, I have a meeting I have to attend, so I thanked the master for the meal and left the restaurant...

Hot tempura and this spicy sake!
It's good, isn't it?

I thought it would be a little spicy, but it was easy to drink and fruity.
But it's easy to drink and fruity!
I like it better than Kuroryu 🫶.
Cured mackerel raw.
I love blue fish, don't you?
Sashimi so far
Usually tempura starts here, but the master said he wondered if it would be a good idea to serve rice first!
A small bowl of rice topped with fresh sea urchin and homemade salmon roe in soy sauce!
Sake goes well with rice dishes 🍶.

Well, Sakura, let's revisit!
It was a rare day that I was alone during the time I was there, so I could eat, drink and talk slowly 🍶🍤🍶.
He asked me if this was a good way to start, and I said yes!
It was the first time for me to try KURORYU AKIAGARI!
It was a very nice hiyaoroshi sake to pair with sashimi!
Light and delicious 😋!
Sashimi started with halibut!
Whale red meat and heart, tuna, squid, and northern mussel!
The squid was finely sliced and I could taste its sweetness and tenderness!
The beauty of this restaurant is that they do all the work for you!
We ate and drank, so let's move on to the next one!

We didn't eat much breakfast and lunch that day, so we ended up with kakiage-tendon (tempura rice topped with tempura tempura batter)!
I told the owner that an acquaintance of mine was coming to this restaurant next time!
I will go there again!
Sad news😭
The restaurant (Ami) that has been so good to me in Sendai will be closing at the end of September.
I am so sorry to hear this.
I promised to go there in November with my friends and a sake taster!
I hope they will reopen somewhere else!
