ジェイ&ノビィTochigi Lunch - Night Out Drinking: Finished
After adding one more dish, we finished off with a heated sake from Kamikimoto 🤗It was plump and delicious!
We stayed for about two hours, but the food was reasonably priced and the sake was delicious! No wonder it's a popular restaurant 😊.
It was a cold 🥶 night after that, but we returned to Utsunomiya station at a quick pace and walked further west for about 15 minutes to finish up! We arrived at Izakaya Shosuke, which is often featured in Solitary Gourmet and other TV shows. ‼️
When I opened the door and asked inside, there were many empty seats!
I asked, "Do you have a reservation?" When I told them I didn't, they asked me if I had a reservation.
I told him that I didn't have a reservation and he said ❌...😱It looked like it was empty...but it couldn't be helped, I would like to come back again 😌.
By the way, I took a sudden weekday off this time.
The night before, we talked about going somewhere 🤔 since it was a consecutive holiday, and the idea of going to Yamagata, which I have never visited before, came up. ‼️ but since it was late, we couldn't come up with a plan 😓 We decided to spend it slowly... so we made a reservation only for dinner at Oto's.
The next morning was sunny and ☀️, and Nobby suggested, "Let's go out! The next morning it was sunny and , and Nobby suggested that we go out and have fun 🤗We didn't go to Yamagata and ended up going around the neighborhood, but it turned out to be a lot of fun!
Thanks Nobby!
The end ひなはなママGood evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
Isn't it a wonderful consecutive holiday 🥰.
Eating good food, drinking good drinks, that time makes us happy 😆 Whether it's in Yamagata or nearby, as long as we enjoy ourselves as a couple, wherever we go, we'll be the happiest 💓 さしゅーGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😄Good night 😊Yamagata mood with Yamagata sake! Kamikimoto is a perfect sake for Jay & Nobby with a nice sharpness! I like it too. フリーター一代男Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I visited this restaurant when I went to Utsunomiya to hang out with friends and was exposed to delicious sake for the first time. It is the origin of my sake, so to speak. まつちよGood evening J&N 🍶.
It's the season for hot sake 😊
I've seen Shosuke about 3 times on reruns, is it by reservation only😅. N.EGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
Hot sake 🍶 is the best for cold weather 👌
This puts my heart in a good mood 🤣.
We often have the same situation this time around, but we couldn't make up our minds and went to nearby places 🤭.
It was great that you and your husband could relax together 👍️ T.KISOGood morning Jay & Nobby, ☀️
It was a good vacation 🎶 sorry about Shosuke 💦.
I'm in a good mood at Kamikigen, so I say OK🙆♂️ 😁 shinsaku3Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
Thanks for the Tochigi day to night outside drinking trip 😃.
I could feel how dense and fun it was 👍.
I'll be referring to the drinks you mentioned and the stores you visited 😃. ジェイ&ノビィHi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I am very glad to hear that you had a great vacation! Thanks to Nobby, it turned out to be a good vacation with a lot of fun drinking and eating 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi Sashiu, I'm with you 😃.
Ah! I didn't realize 😅It was indeed Yamagata sake 🍶🤗Maybe I was subconsciously looking for the Yamagata feeling 😙 Of course it was delicious! ジェイ&ノビィHello, freelancer first generation man 😃.
Eh! So Shosuke-san is your origin 😳You have a connection to Utsunomiya 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi, Matsuchiyo 😃.
Maybe the time was also bad 🥲 but I'm sure you should make a reservation 👍I'll make a reservation next time and repo 👋 ジェイ&ノビィHi N.E. 😃
Hot sake 🍶 is the best when it's cold 😚Honto! The view outside was familiar cityscape, but it was fun to slowly make my way around the stores, all of which were new to me 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi T.KISO 😃
I'm sorry to hear that you walked in the cold in a good mood 😢 but I had fun as a result, including that, so all is OK🙆🏻🙆🏻♀️ ジェイ&ノビィHi shinsaku3 😃
It was indeed a rich and interesting trip in the neighborhood 🤗I'm glad you found the information on Tochigi ℹ️ useful ‼️ but don't come here without telling me 😆. ワカ太Good evening, Jay & Nobby😃Good evening😃It was a wonderful trip to your neighborhood😊Yamagata is one of my favorite places, so please visit ‼️ By the way, I recommend "Noshi-ume" from a Japanese sweets shop called Sato-san near Yamagata station, which is not too much to say that it is a confection for sake! ジェイ&ノビィHi Wakata 😃.
I've been able to keep my travel costs down by visiting nearby places 😅.
Next time I want to make a plan to go to Yamagata 👍"Noshi Ume" 👍I'll definitely buy it when I visit ‼️🤗. 
ジェイ&ノビィTochigi Lunch - Night Out Drinking (3)
The first Hidakami was quickly absorbed along with the sashimi, so next we ordered a spicy ten (辛天), which we had been curious about but hadn't had a chance to drink yet!
I took a sip and wondered if it was dry or not ❓It was fresh and dry with even a hint of sweetness 😋.
Nirutaro-san also went to this restaurant at the Kenmin-kai! The menu includes a 3,000 yen omakase 70% course, which is designed so that you can have your drinks with a 70-minute stomach, which is also a hit with the hearts of sake drinkers 😊.
And the restaurant is so busy that you would think it was Friday night? It's so busy that you'd think it was Friday night! It's not far from the station, but this is great ‼️ and the part-timers are very conscious and attentive 👍I wish we could use it for prefectural meetings and such 🤔.
I'm a Michelin guy ⁉️🤣.
Next up was Kouji's Dai-harakuchi Hatsushibori-shibori-which had a nice bitterness and astringency on top of the umami, making it the driest of the bunch 😋Surrounded by all these great snacks, even though I knew I had to drink it slowly, it really made the sake go down the drain!
The course ended with a bowl of rice topped with milt gohan (rice with milt)! It was delicious too!
I'm at about 7 minutes sober and hungry.
But I think I'll drink some more!
to be continued さしゅーJay & Nobby Good evening😄The spicy heaven is delicious! Tenmei has been through a lot, but the level remains the same. Milt rice looks delicious! ma-ki-Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
A saké with a little bit of snacks is the best for sake drinkers: ⤴️
Dry Amami, I'm a sweet tooth but I'm curious 🎵.
I want to eat albacore😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Sashu 😃.
I would like some more 😋 and the amount might have been just right 👍Spicy heaven was another great way to drink at home 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi ma-ki-😃.
I really like this dish! It was a wonderful dish that tickled my sake-drinking fancy 🤗 I think spicy tempura would be good even for a sweet tooth 😋 Maybe we can try drinking out first👍. マルHi Jay & Nobby 😊
This is a wonderful dish that makes me drink too much 😍.
I have a sweet tooth, but I think I could do with some spicy tempura 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi Maru 😃.
Really! This course was designed for sake drinkers 👍dry sake goes well with it 😋 Nah! I think the spicy tempura would be great! こぞうMr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
The spicy tempura is not spicy 😳
This restaurant is a good place for Sake lovers to enjoy the food 😘. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, kozo 😃.
It wasn't spicy from our point of view 😅I don't know if it is in general 🤔 not helpful 😆.
Really! It's a good restaurant 😍. ポンちゃんHi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
The food looks delicious and the course is 3000 yen 😳I would be full if I had that much variety 🤣They also have a good selection of drinks...for offline meetings...I'm just not sure how I feel about going to izakaya these days 😂. ジェイ&ノビィHi Pon 😃
It's a nice course 😋 we tend to evaluate restaurants from an offline perspective too 😅.
I'm not a jerk, I'm just trying to get laid 🤗. 
ジェイ&ノビィTochigi Daytime - Nighttime Outside Drinking (2)
After leaving Kanuma, we took a bus 🚌 to Utsunomiya and made a U-turn 🤗.
In order to reduce the nira feeling 😅 in our mouths, we went into a coffee shop in front of the station and had a parfait 🍦 & coffee ☕️ while our cell phones and we took a short recharge 🔌 break.
After that, we walked to Mekada Sake Brewery to fill our stomachs! We went through the sakes we've had before like HIRO-chan, Yukigumo, Yukidaruma ☃️, etc. 💃 and got the Tsuneyama and Iraka that we were interested in👍.
But when I saw your post, I regretted a little 😓 that I should have bought HIRO-CHAN Nigori too.
After dusk🌆, the next place I headed to was Oto, a restaurant I've been wanting to visit for a long time: ❗️
This popular restaurant is located in a residential area about a 15-minute walk from the east exit of the station. I had made a reservation the night before 🤗.
We toasted with beer 🍻 and then switched to sake!
First we started with Hidakami, which Ars-san also drank 🤗Kochira is a mouth opener! Lucky✌️
I had to wait until the sake arrived to eat some sashimi 🍶 and then I had a big gulp of hikakami 😌pya~‼️ yeahhhh 😚 it all goes well together!
Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was packed with customers.
And with the parade of tsuzumami, one sake bottle will be finished in no time 😋Now, on to the next.... ぼうすけGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
Looks like a fun night drinking 🍶 with a break ☕️🍨 at the parlor coffee shop after lunch drinking.
Oto, it's a stylish place 🍽️
It fits Dandy J & Elegant N 👍 ma-ki-Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Hidakami and sashimi is a great pairing. ⤴️
I regret not buying it at the last liquor store I went to 💧.
Megada Sake Shop looks like they have a great selection 😊. こぞうMr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening 🤩🤤←Amaimonosuki
I'm an old man and I want a chocolate parfait 🤩 in an old-fashioned coffee shop 🤤←Amaimonosuki
Hidakami is a delicious sake that can be served alone without disturbing the sashimi 😘. ポンちゃんGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
The parfait looks delicious 😻For some reason, old-fashioned coffee shop menus are delicious 😊.
I'd like to try the Hidakami Hatsushibori, it has quite a bit of lees 😳! zottiJay & Nobby, good evening ^^^ Sashimi and Hidakami...I'm so jealous ✨.
I saw it at the liquor store, but the next time I looked it was gone...lol ひなはなママGood evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
The coffee shop has quite a tasteful appearance! The parfait is also very retro, like an old-fashioned... 👍In contrast, the store at night is modern and stylish 😆Hitakami is also nice to see the shop💓. N.EGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
Nice evening rush from day date 👫 👍️
I was asked if I would like to open a bottle of Hidakami Kasumi Sake, which was in stock at the store the other day. I was asked if I would like to open a bottle, but I stayed then and regretted it when I saw the review 🙍. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Megada-san is awesome to have that lineup of nigori lined up, but the two of you who can go through it are even more awesome 🤣.
I've already given up on Mr. Hidakami here because my cellar and fridge are already full 😅. ジェイ&ノビィHello, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
It's a nice course 🤗No, no, no, no...well, I think I'll rename it Dandy🌹 & Elegant💃🤣. ジェイ&ノビィHi, ma-ki-San 😃.
Sashimi is a must at Hidakami 😋 after all our love for sake started from Hidakami 🤗Mekada-san is a good liquor store 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Koizo 😃
Chocolate parfait is something that even my uncle wants to eat once in a while 😋 We can be both sweet and spicy 😆 This hikakami was a great one to order 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi Pon 😃
I'm so glad to hear that! We were talking about how we wanted to go to a coffee shop 🤗You're right, there is lees! I only drank the top clearings because I opened my mouth 😅. ジェイ&ノビィHi zotti 😃
This combination is the best 👍I was lucky to drink it 🤗Next time I see you 👋 ジェイ&ノビィHi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, it was! It was the retro cafe ☕️ that we were aiming for👍 but the parfait was more expensive than the hikakami 😆 It was a nice place at night 🤗. ジェイ&ノビィHi N.E. 😃
Sake drinking dates ☺️ are fun!
Next time you go to a restaurant, please try it with sashimi 👋 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
I decided to buy in Japan! I've decided to buy from Japan, and it's a J&N rule that I get the ones I haven't drunk first 🤗But I should have bought Hiro 😓. ニルたろうFirst time drinking Modern Sentori It was a refreshing and deep tasting sake with a lot of depth. I want to drink it again. ニルたろうIt's a good sake with a refreshing gas in it that gives a sense of expansiveness. I would like to drink it again. ニルたろうIt is fruity, expansive and refreshing.
