Tochigi Prefectural Association Summer Banquet 🍉 After Party
If we're going to go to all this trouble, let's finish with Tochigi sake...
It has a calm fruity taste, a soft grain aroma, and a good umami flavor, and it has a local sake feel.
It was time to close the party after a fun time 🤗see you!
Jay & Nobby, here too 🤭.
They seem to be a very particular sake place, and the limited quantity and rare sake by Ono Toji of Nozomu/Tsanbana had a great price 🙄💸💸As always, Kurata-san (master)'s service is mind-boggling 🥹.
Tochigi Prefectural Association Summer Banquet 🍉 After Party
We entered the restaurant hoping to have a few more drinks... but it was the last order at closing time ⁈🍶The whole place was expensive and we were almost sobering up🙄.
The sweetness was delicious 🥰The mellow yet moderate acidity was nice, and the sweetness didn't drag on 🥰.
I was so happy to be able to share the sake with everyone 😚.
The second one, I've never had it before... but isn't it a bottle of Kuroryu Hiiraju? Nice atmosphere, drunkenness and good water 😆.
I was told by Mr. Piro that the price will be raised to 6,000 yen per person 🥲...we were talking about it in J&N...
Well, the party started without the owner 😆 After about 30 minutes, the teacher finally came back to the restaurant with something🤗What is it? I wondered what it was, but in a small voice that sounded like it was about to disappear, he said in a tearful voice, "I thought I'd give everyone some good sashimi 😇" 🥹.
I'm sorry I didn't know how you felt 😍I'm sorry I toasted without your permission 🥲I think my sake tasted even better than usual😙.
So, as usual, we started drinking and talking from 5:00 pm, and before we knew it, it was 10:00 pm 😆 We stay longer because it's so cozy
We left Kurata and moved on to the after-party with Sashiu, Yasusake, Nirutaro, Kotori, and Hiro!
But when we saw the price of regular izakaya (Japanese style pubs), we realized again how good Kurata is 😳 We were so lucky 😌 We had Imi and Sawahime at this place. ‼️
If Kurata-san can accommodate 20 people 🙄 we can invite everyone who wants to join 😅I hope they can expand the restaurant somehow 😌.
Conclusion: the at-home prefects' party was awesome 😊.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀.
After all, Tochigi Sake no Wakai too. It always looks so fun and nice 😀.
Kansai is just as fun 😇
The last of the after-party was decorated by Imi, as expected 😇
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Nice photos ❣️ I can feel your at-home Tochigi love ❤️ ✨The sashimi looks awesome 🤤Nice - I'd love to visit Kurata sometime 🫡I'm looking forward to your restaurant expansion, ❗️
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
The sashimi looks so delicious 😚You went out to buy this for us all to eat ✨Every time I can feel that you and the members of the Prefectural Association seem to be enjoying yourselves in a harmonious way 😆.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞I can feel the owner's love for sashimi: 🐟️ The quality and quantity of sake you brought is amazing too 🤤I'm jealous of the prefects' association, everyone seems to be having so much fun: ✨️
Hi Jay & Nobby😃!
The sashimi looks delicious😍and the shooting beauty I adore🫣It was a very fun prefect meeting ✨I could feel the homey atmosphere fun 😊.
Jay & Nobby Thank you so much for the other day. We really had a great time. And thank you for the update on the after-party 😊It was delicious, but I don't remember... Kurata-san is the best, isn't he😄.
Jay & Nobby❤️We're looking forward to the store expansion too‼️ really looks like fun and I can feel how happy and satisfied you guys are✨
I'm so jealous of your after-party shootings ‼️ 🥰.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! I see a lot of people are attending...it's been so hot lately that I've been drinking more beer than sake. I'm sure I'll be drinking sake if it looks like such a fun party 😍.
I didn't talk about the taste of sake at all😓.
Sake and Sawa Hime....they were delicious 😙.
Also, the teacher bought us 3 vats of sashimi, pictured here: ‼️
Hi Kano 😃
Yes, I am very happy to be here! The Kenmin Kai is a lot of fun 🤗.
The only sake I drank at Kurata is Kuyou Masamune 😅I had a lot of it 😅‼️ and the sashimi was delicious 😋I don't remember much about the after party at Imi's 😅.
Hi bouken 😃
Well said 🤔 we were the first Yami's to drink outside 🤗I don't remember what it tasted like 🤣.
The owner didn't come back 😅We were all toasting to the owner worrying that he might have collapsed because of the heat 😁.
Yasbay, I'm with you 😃.
Yes, I am very glad to hear that you are enjoying your time in Tochigi! Just like the friendliness and fun in Kansai 😊Tochigi-Kenmin-Kai has a comfortable at-home feeling 😌.
The after-party was "Sake is so expensive! 😱" and I realized again how grateful I am to Kurata-san!
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
I'm so happy to see you here! It's really a prefects' group where everyone is so calm and at-home award 🤗.
The first sashimi was also delicious thanks to the teacher 😋 Yes! I'd like to set it up sometime ‼️
Hello Kotaro 😃
It seems to be sashimi from a well-known restaurant 😋 It was very tasty 😋.
It! It's a lovely place where the word "convivial" fits perfectly 🥹.
Hi Nao888😃
I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious and fatty sashimi 😋 and the sake 😙.
I drank so much with the drinks I brought in and the ones at the restaurant 😅.
It was a lot of fun 👋
Hello ichiro18 😃
Yes, I am very glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at the Prefectural Association! I hope you can feel the fun atmosphere of the prefects' meeting through the text and pictures 🤗.
And I'm sorry I don't remember the details of my longed-for shooting beauty😍Taste 😅.
Hi Sashiu 😃
It was a really fun time 🥹Let's do it again ‼️ and when I saw the menu of the after party restaurant...I thought 😳 how expensive it usually is😅
Thanks Kurata-san!
Hi Pekho, thanks for the help 😃.
I'm thinking it would be difficult to expand the store 😓I'm looking for a better store with a little more space 🤔.
But it's not so easy to find a store where you can relax so freely 😅.
I'm 120% happy and satisfied 😊.
Hi mariage😃
Yes, we have a new member list for the next few months! We currently have 13 members when all prefectural members gather! 🤗That would fill up the whole restaurant😅.
Yes, beer 🍺 is great in hot summer 😋, but on this day, sake was the only choice 😙.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
Your review conveys the excitement of the prefectural meeting, 5 hours is quite a long time 🤣.
But hats off to the hospitality of the manager who goes out of his way to stock up on sashimi until the restaurant is empty 🥰I'd love to visit!
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
I always stay for 4-5 hours in a sanctuary where I can relax 😅It's good to have a trusting relationship with people that they can leave the restaurant empty 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I saw the other one and it was such fun 😊👍🎶 good drinks as always 😻.
I can feel the trust in the place to start even if the owner is not there 😆.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
This is what happened to me 🤣I trust you because we do it in the same place every time😄or maybe it's a good thing 😊I had a lot of fun!
I had the opportunity for a store drink a while ago and this is one that was recommended to me. I heard that it is not available in the market.
It was delicious, light and refreshingly sweet. Like wine? (I am an amateur wine drinker...)
Hisashi Mitsui, the genius three-point shooter in Slam Dunk
The author liked the sake "Mitsui no Kotobuki" so much that he incorporated it into his work!
In response, the brewery adopted a uniform-style label for this "Mitsui no Kotobuki Junmai Ginjo +14 Dai-Karakuchi".
It is dry, but still retains its umami.
Sanbana Junmai Daiginjo Yumesasara" won the President's Award, the first prize in five categories, at the 6th Kura Master Japanese Sake Competition held by the Association de Kura Master in Paris, France.
This sake is made from "Yumesasara," a rice suitable for sake brewing that was researched and developed over 13 years at the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, and has a fresh apple-like aroma and a well-balanced flavor with fullness.
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Noto Toji, a group of toji (master brewers)
Kaiun's sake has a sake named "Hase Masakichi," which he named after himself when he thought it was the best sake he could make. This is a bottle of sake named after the toji who named it after the best sake he could make.
