女将あわら温泉 女将の会 謹醸 辛口純米吟醸生貯蔵 ichiro18The hotel where we stayed in Awara Onsen, the sake called "Onsho" is available for drinking in Awara Onsen.
Please refer to Jive's post from last year for the story of how this sake came to be.
I had a choice of dry or sweet, so I chose dry since I had a dry mouth from the Ippongi I drank before that ✨.
The aroma is clean and sweet. Fresh mouthfeel, silky sweetness followed by a spiciness that slowly pushes in 😊.
I paired it with marinated octopus... 👍It had a good flavor and a clean aftertaste that was good for the next meal.
The two day and one night tour of Fukui took about six and a half hours by car from my house to Fukui, a distance of about 500 kilometers one way, with a break in between.
On the second day, we had a bowl of katsudon for lunch at Europa-ken, and went sightseeing to Tojinbo and the ruins of the Ichijodani Asakura clan.
This makes 51/100 for the 100 best castles.
The fourth picture shows the sake we purchased at the brewery and brought along ✨.
Anyway, we got home safe and sound at 10pm 🥰.
Fukui has great water, food, and sake, and I honestly wanted to go back 😍The Awara Onsen hotel was of a high standard and my family was very happy ✨I was especially taken by the fantastic snowy scenery of Ichijodani 🥰It was very nice🥳. ジャイヴHello ichiro18, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm relieved to hear you made it home safely 🥰.
It's intoxicating that the "landlady" is playing a role in promoting tourism: ✨️
I have 4 bottles of "Hakudakesen" 😲 and "Shokutate" as well!
I haven't reviewed the "Shokutate" yet, but it's not good! ma-ki-Hello, ichiro18!
You were really bulletproof 😲🚗⛄!
I'm so glad you had a great time! I'm sure you'll have a great time!
I'm very curious to see the limited edition of the loot too 🤤!
Looking forward to your review 😋. ichiro18Hi Jive 😃.
I enjoyed my trip to Fukui 🥰The level of accommodation in Awara Onsen is high ✨The opening of the Shinkansen line was one of the turning points! Gyve-san recommended Hakugakusen! I went to Yasumoto Sake Brewery and bought some 😊I'm looking forward to drinking it 🍶. ichiro18Hi ma-ki-😃I'm not a liar 😁I do what I say 👍There were so many breweries in the sake brewery stamp rally book.
I'm not a liar 😁I'm always true to my word👍There are so many breweries in the sake brewery stamp rally book ✨I could only visit 3 breweries, but I'm looking forward to the sake I had a chance to meet in the sake activities 🥰. ichiro18The buffet at Seifuuso in Awara Onsen had two kinds of food: the last one was Ippongi and Hakuryunen... The buffet food was good, with a wide variety of sushi and seafood, but it would have been nice to have a little more variety of sake 🤔.
Separately charged menu attached.
After drinking Ippongi's dry sake, I felt it was sweet even though it was supposed to be slightly spicy 🤣.
I don't know about the aroma, it has a gentle mouthfeel with a sweet umami taste and a full flavor. It has a mild acidity, but it gradually rises to a slightly spicy 🤔. After the first sip, I felt the sweetness was too much.
It wouldn't have been so bad if I drank it first😅.
I had a craving for curry after reading Gyve's first curry so I had to finish the curry ✨. ひなはなママGood morning, ichiro18 😃.
I'm glad you had fun in Fukui: ❣️ I knew Fukui would have great seafood 🤤I'm sure you'll feel refreshed from your trip and start your new year's work with a good feeling again: ⁉️ ジャイヴichiro18, also here ☔.
The "landlady" in the paid menu is an interesting drink in terms of history, but it's a bit drunken price 😅.
Please be careful on your long way back 🙇.
After all, good taste is propagated 🍛. ichiro18Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
The seafood was delicious 🥰The accommodation was good, the only disappointment was the weather, but thanks to you it was a good trip 😊Now I have a disease that makes me not want to go to work 🤣. ichiro18Thank you too, Gyve 😊I just got home safe and sound thanks to you ✨.
I read your review of Gyive, the proprietress of Awara Onsen 👍I must try the sake made by all the proprietresses of the various inns 🍶. ichiro18Thank you all for your concern in your comments yesterday 🙇 We arrived safely in Fukui Prefecture and enjoyed sightseeing.
Today's breakfast and lunch were orotsuri soba, oage, bolga rice, saba sushi, etc. 😋.
And for dinner after such a full day, Ippongi Dry Classic, so delicious ✨.
It has a fruity but alu aroma, a beautiful mouthfeel, a light umami, and a sharp and clean spiciness ✨It goes well with seafood and has a great umami, it was the perfect drink for dinner 😊. ma-ki-Good evening, ichiro18!
Sounds like you had a great time on your bullet trip 🎵.
Sightseeing and eating are both good 🤤.
Dry sake and seafood sounds like a good pairing and a perfect sake katsuki 😍. chikaDid you get there safe 😏👍✨✨?
Looks delicious😍✨✨ ichiro18Good evening ma-ki-😃.
I really wanted to drink alone at night, but lack of sleep and a buffet made it impossible 🤣I'm going to buy some booze and go home 😅. ichiro18Good evening chika 😃.
Thank you 😊Luckily it was raining today ⁉️🤔🤣Tomorrow looks like thunderstorms so sightseeing will be tough but I'll be back for another 6 hours 😁. ぴのこGood morning, ichiro18😊I love your trip to Fukui at the beginning of the year 🎵I would love to visit the dinosaur museum 🥹The seafood dishes and Ippongi look delicious and perfect for the New Year 😋🍶. ジャイヴHello ichiro18!
Welcome to Fukui 🦀.
［I'm glad you enjoyed the Dinosaur Museum, Maruoka Castle, and various gourmet foods 🥰. ichiro18Good evening, Pinocchio 😃.
I was in a hurry to go there in December 😁The dinosaur museum is spectacular 😳The exhibits are amazing! The dinosaur museum is worth seeing 😳The exhibits were amazing✨Seafood and dry sake from the Sea of Japan side is still delicious. ichiro18Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
I enjoyed Fukui 🥰I wish I could have spent more time there instead of staying overnight 😅It was my first time in Fukui in 20 years and it was very refreshing ✨The food, drinks and water were delicious👍 
ジャイヴMy grandma and grandpa took me to a hot spring to celebrate my eldest daughter's graduation from a small group preschool for 0-2 year olds to another preschool for 3 year olds (so called "younger children") starting this spring.
We had a buffet of freshly prepared food at the live kitchen, and we could drink as much as we wanted from the automatic draft beer server in the alcohol corner 🍺.
We decided to try some sake and had a drink at the only sake bar in the corner 🍶.
I had never seen the brand name "Tsurumi" brewed by Rikisen Sake Brewery in Fukui before, and the name sounds like a rival character in a popular Hokkaido-based "Zavival Battle for Buried Treasure" 😁.
Aroma of full-bodied rice and a hint of acidity, sweetness and umami, and a shallow aftertaste.
The specs are unknown, probably a honjozo, but it is quite easy to drink for a honjozo at room temperature 😋.
The junmai ginjo sake "Onnajo" made by the proprietresses of Ashihara Onsen was available for a fee, and when I tried to buy a bottle as a souvenir, it was over 3,000 yen for a four-pack, so I gave it up💦. マルHi Jive, good evening 🌒.
Miss, first of all a hot spring before Anpanman👍.
A buffet at a hot spring hotel, even adults get excited 🤭.
Local sake is one of the best parts of the trip 😊. ポンちゃんGyve, congratulations on your daughter's graduation 🎉🌸.
Cooking at the spa with everyone. It's fun to be a server who can pour your own food 🎶"Tsurukai" is indeed such a name 🤣Gyive you for noticing it 😆. pyonpyonGood evening, Gyve-san 🌃Your whole family is traveling together to a hot spring 🎵Smiling 😆It's nice to have good sake with free drinks ❗Honjozo is not to be underestimated 👍️May be a brand I haven't seen much in Kansai ⁉️ I'm also interested in "Onnajo" (female owner). ジェイ&ノビィHi Jive 😃.
Congratulations to the youngsters on their transition ㊗️ 🎉They must be a bit amused at first when the number of people increases 😅Celebrate Nomiho at Onsen ♨️! I'm sure the adults will be more than happy 🤗 ジャイヴGood morning, Maru-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
We rescheduled the Anpanman Museum for the end of GW due to our schedule 😁.
My daughter was so excited to see the big bath that she went back and forth between the different bathtubs 😊. ジャイヴGood morning, Pon.
I could have timed it for the senior graduation, but I did the parents a favor 😁.
Automated servers kill two birds with one stone as well as cut down on staff 🤔.
Over there [Tsurumi], but I have a golden cam brain that can think of it just by looking at it! ジャイヴGood morning, pyonpyon!
My father and I are both in the prefecture, so this is the first time I've seen this brand and I saw the address of the brewery 😁.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm from the Kansai region or because it's a very mysterious brand that's rarely available even in Fukui Prefecture 🤣. ジャイヴGood morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
We went from a school of 15 students to a school of almost 100 students, so you must have been a little confused for the first week 💦.
I heard that at Grandia Hosen, the hostess can drink as much as she wants, so if you come to Fukui, be sure to check it out! ひるぺこGood evening, Jack. It must be tough for both the children and their parents to change environments 💦I hope you had a good time with your favorite grandparents on your trip to Onsen (hot spring) 😊I wonder if you can drink this sake in Fukui? ジャイヴHi Hirupeko!
There are so many differences from the previous park that both my parents and my kids are confused😅.
［I'm sure you'll have a chance to drink at [Riki Izumi Sake Brewery] since they are a member of the Fukui Sake Brewers Association 😁. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
