Venue Information for 酒とめしRIKI

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 🌟. If you just look at the color, it's wine 🍷😁. It's the fun of drinking outside to be able to drink this kind of thing. Sake no Wa, after all, there are many people of the same age 😊.

Here's what came out with the falconer lance spear This one was recommended to me at a liquor store and I really enjoyed it! The manager's selection is so striking that it makes me laugh 🤣. I had this one heated too! Very easy to drink heated sake😍! The mild sweetness and umami spreads on the palate and fades away leaving a lingering aftertaste. It was a perfect match with the smoked oysters 👍.

Long hawk left at room temperature on the counter. Heated to recommend a perverted sake to a young girl (in her third year of working) who went with me. This Takacho has been aged for 3 years (maybe?). I heard it's aged for 3 years (maybe?). It has a yellowish color and has a full of matured sake feeling. The effect of aging and heating up the sake? It has a gentle sweetness and a caramelized taste, but overall it tastes mellow 😊. I still like this one 🥰.

The second drink at RIKI Kenkunichi This sake was brewed by a sake shop in Kumamoto for their 50th anniversary hanpukai! The manager served it to us, saying it was not like Kenkunichi, but it was delicious. Kenkunichi is a deliciously spicy and sharp sake, but this one... has a fruity sweetness that one would not think it was Kenkunichi if served without knowing it🥰. The umami in the middle and the sharpness at the end are typical of Kenkunichi. This one was also delicious: ☺️

Welcome party for young children (students) I had them drink 2 kinds of sake at the first one too (Hirotogawa and ???). but I didn't take pictures so I don't know the specs or anything😅. The next day, they told me that the sake they drank yesterday was delicious (maybe they were flattered), so I guess the first step of missionary work was a success 😁. Personally, I wanted to drink some more, so I went to my usual place, RIKI. The manager left everything to me. The first glass was a glass of Hirotogawa's Omachi. As expected, he knows I am an omatist, so he serves a good one 🥰. It's fresh, vibrant and delicious! But it's also delicious with the acidity and bitterness typical of Omachi😍. I don't remember the details of the taste since this was my second visit 🤣.

At last, one hour! I had to head to the party at 6pm. The couple next door had ordered this last, so I asked the manager to bring it out from the cold storage again! This is my fifth visit to Yamazan! This is the first time for me to see this light orange label! It's a light nigori in spring! A light nigori at the end of the day! It's like a light misty sky because we play golf the next day! I hope it will not rain. I enjoyed Mt. Aso and Kurokawa Onsen and enjoyed Kumamoto in a hurry!

The next wine the manager brought was Saku Junmai Daiginjo Okayama Asahi. I had drunk it only once before, three years ago in Sapporo! You can't go wrong with Saku! Fresh, fruity and satisfying! We refrained from cooking at this restaurant, so the next restaurant served grilled horse meat and yukke! Unfortunately, this restaurant did not have any sake, so I paired it with beer! I am sure it would go well with sake as well. I would like to meet the crops again as I will be in Mie Prefecture during Golden Week 🍶. extensive knowledge Rice used: Asahi rice from Okayama Prefecture Polishing: 50%.

The next one was also brought by the manager Shinshu Kamerei I've had Hitogochi several times, but I wonder how the color of the hexagon on the label differs from blue to silver like this one. The silver one seems to be a new sake. This sake is one of my favorite brands. It's not easy to find, but this time I was lucky! On this day, I had a party with my friends at 6pm at a restaurant called Rum! So we had only one hour left to drink! I told the manager that I would pick up the pace and he was preparing for the next one. Sorry about that. extensive knowledge Rice used : Hitogokochi Rice polishing ratio : Koji rice 55%, Kake rice 70%. Alcohol content : 15.0

Foldback. Before I asked the manager for the next one, he brought me this. What? Are you sure? All you can drink. He told me it tastes a little like dried grapes! This is the third time I've had this since Morioka and Akita! Sourness of sake yeast and sweet and sour taste like dried grapes! The high spec sake made me feel good! We flew to Kumamoto first thing in the morning! We stopped by Minamiaso in a rented car and ate kawara soba (buckwheat noodles) and tasted Kumamoto! extensive knowledge Rice type : Rikuwa 132 (Aikame) Rice Polishing Ratio : Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 55 Alcohol content : 13% (original sake) Brewing vessel : Wooden vat Bottle used: Morning Bell frosted The manager said that the flavor would develop more after some time had passed since it was stored!

I had made a reservation for this date when I visited a month ago. So I delivered a little souvenir from Hokkaido to the manager, and in return, he offered me a chance to try the conger eel that he had prepared for me! Thank you very much 😊. The sake that was served at that time was Yamama! I have often encountered this brand at Fukurokuju, but this No. 16 was a first for me! And the sake rice is Nagori Yuki, a Uruchi rice from Niigata! The malted rice seems to be Gohyakumangoku! Delicious fresh sake like ramune! Goes well with the sweetness of conger eel.

From this point on, we left the sake selection to the manager. We started with the Shichibon-Yari, which we had heard was a recommended brand last time! This Shichibon-Yari is part of the same special sake hanpukai that was specially ordered for the 50th anniversary of Kunimoto Sake Brewery, just like the Nichinichi Homasu! Moreover, the manager himself requested the specifications of this Shichihon Yari to be made! No bitterness in spite of 80% low milling! Thank you for introducing us to this delicious sake 😊. I saw freshly picked bamboo shoots when I drove around Aso during the day, but gave up on buying them, so I asked for a bamboo shoot dish at this restaurant! Excellent seasoning! The sake goes down a treat! a great source of information Alcohol content 14 Rice Polishing Ratio 80 Sake rice: 100% Shiga Asahi rice from Shiga Prefecture (rice from Mitate Farm, Takatsuki-cho, Nagahama City)

The second drink is also from the recommended menu. The manager will teach you in detail It's a great learning experience! Hohomasu of Nichinichi Brewed with Kumamoto's rare sake rice, Homasu, just like Sanchi no Homasu! I have yet to find it on the internet! Thank you for allowing me to try this rare sake! The taste spread on the palate, and since it is low in alcohol, I drank it all in one gulp! I really want to have another one but I'll hold off and move on to the next one ️.

Kumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑱. This is the last drink. I don't remember how this came up in the conversation, but it was the last sake the manager brought. Shinsei Tenfrog😳 We had a whole bottle (not one, five of us) 🤩. The shots were amazing. Mr. Chidorisaki took a video of it (he was drunk, so his hands were shaky) and it was overflowing with bubbles. It's low al but has a lot of flavor, but this gassy feeling (champagne? Rumney?) So it's refreshing and very easy to drink. We had a lot of good drinks this time, too. We talked mostly about sake, and before I knew it, 4 hours had passed since the party started at 7:00 🤣. It was a very enjoyable party and I hope to see you again next time. 🙇‍♂ I promised not to bring my own sake next time, but to enjoy the drinks at the restaurant. I promised not to bring my own drinks next time, but I don't know what will happen with the vendors 🤣. Well, my business trip to Tokyo, which I thought was long overdue, is finally this week. I've been busy preparing for the trip, so it's been a bit of a whirlwind, but I'm looking forward to drinking up some good sake in Tokyo too 😁.

He brought us a valuable sake that is rarely in stock in Kumamoto. 🙇‍♂ Sake Mirai is this one 😁. From the sweet aroma, it tastes solidly sweet. Pineapple maybe? I'm too drunk to tell the difference in taste, but I know it's sweet, juicy, fruity, and insanely good 🥰. I had a good drink 😁.

Kumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑯. The fourth drink we ordered together at the end of the party was Shishi no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai I was surprised that it was not so sweet when I drank it with my mouth expecting it to be sweet because it was from Sake Mirai 😳. I remember thinking it was dry when I drank Lion's Village before, but it's still dry even with Sake Mirai 😅. I remember thinking it was dry when I drank it before, but it's still dry even if you use Sake Mirai 😅. I don't think it's necessary to use Sake Mirai 🤣. I wonder if people who like dry taste would have a different impression if they drank it.

Kumamoto Off-line Meeting Report (15) Off-line meeting endgame The third drink we ordered from the all-you-can-drink menu was Jikin Junmai Ginjo Omachi Nama If you can drink Jikin, you must order it anyway 😁. It is a sake that is more like Jikin than Omachi. The overall balance is well put together, with an elegant umami taste and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Jikin is still delicious 🥰. But I don't think they use omachi that well 🤔. honda agreed with me. Also, I was in agreement with her that the sake made by a brewery that claims to be great at using Omachi (self-imposed restriction) is not tasty. honda-san said that Nanamizu's Omachi is outstandingly good, and I agreed with her.

Kumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑭ Off-line meeting is finally in the last stage! The second drink we ordered from the all-you-can-drink menu was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori Omachi Personally, it has been a long time since I have had a Koeikiku. This is different from other Koeikiku. First of all, it has a high alcohol content (17%). The other Koeikiku are relatively light and easy to drink, and in my opinion, feel like rum, but this one is a solid sake. I'm not sure if that's accurate or not 😅. I have the same one sitting in my fridge, so I'll do a full review at a later date 😁.
