I drank the most popular Aramasa in Japan now.

Asia/Tokyo10

Today, too, I’m drinking alone in the dust. Finally. I’d love to have a drink during my usual routine stroll around the liquor store,
But I found a bottle of “Aramasa” that I couldn’t find anywhere.

I quickly get it to my hand so that no one will know.

Aramasa Viridian Junmai

When I was a student working part-time at an izakaya, I used to spill a lot of Aramasa into a cup of sake, but now I feel it would be a waste if I spilled it, and I’ve suddenly risen in the ranks. You never know.

The design is very different from the old vertical Aramasa.
Who can read “Viridian” with these Kanjis?

What is 6-yeast?

Kyokai No. 6 yeast was isolated by Koana and others around 1935 at Aramasa Sake Brewery in Akita Prefecture. It produces a gentle, clear aroma, with a fruity aroma before and after fermentation. The TTC staining is red and the pantothenic acid requirement is positive. It consumes sugar well and has many top-fermentative characteristics. It is the oldest church yeast still distributed by the Japan Brewers Association.

6-yeast is said to have a gorgeous Ginjo aroma. Also known as Shinsei yeast, it is what Association yeast is in the first place. For more information, Wikipedia has the characteristics of each No. What is Association Yeast?

It’s an old cap, isn’t it? It’s a shame to open it. But it is just sake.
Open the bottle.

Sip it!

Comment: A
100% Misato Nishiki, 50% polished rice, 13% alcohol by volume. The label says it has a fragrance reminiscent of ripe kiwi, yuzu, and mint, but I have no idea what it is I guess I have a stupid tongue… The acidity is low for Shinsei, and the clarity is clear? It’s a thick sake with a refreshing umami flavor Savory! Thank you for the food.

Comment: B
At a modern French restaurant a glass of wine was poured into the glass.
A glass of wine poured into the glass appeared I was taken aback.
Burgundy wine appeared with it. Green labels. I’m not exaggerating.
I was stunned! I was so excited to meet Mr. Niimasa I was not prepared for this.
I was not prepared to meet Mr. Shinsei. I was just wrapped up in the fragrance without a care in the world. The fragrance of fruit that seemed to boil. The scent of a glamorous, gorgeous, successful person.
I don’t know about that I’m maxed out on excitement, but obviously it’s early days .

Taste evaluation

The Sake is “Soushu”. It’s juicy, but it’s fruity, or more like juice. It has a carbonated taste and is almost like a cocktail. If I were a Showa father, I would have said, “This is not sake. It destroys the preconceived notion of sake. It would be better to call it a cocktail, but there is little difference between the two. I can see why it is so popular. The overall alcohol content is light, but the aroma is not too strong and the taste is sharp, with some acidity, but not enough to be bothersome. It is certainly delicious.

Snacks

Since I was in the mood for a snack, I made my favorite snack, rice cake bacon.

Good sake with a frog symbol.

Asia/Tokyo10

Today, I’m enjoying sake by myself.

Lately I have been experimenting with sake pairings other than Japanese food. Something inside me told me,

“I want taco tacos. As usual, I wandered to several liquor stores as if on my way to work

Today’s snack “Tacos”

I don’t always buy something with a specific purpose, but rather I just think, “I’ve seen this before…” and I think, “What’s this?

What is melon 3.33?

That’s why I bought it. I am always interested in melon.

Actually, a certain character is the main character in this Niida series, but he is not in this sake. I often see him, the characteristic guy.

Niida natural melon 3.33

This is this frog series.

I checked out the brewery, which has been around for 300 years. He is now in their 18th generation.

I searched the Internet and found other titles like this one.

The sudden death of the brewer, the fire, and the earthquake, but the sake brewing that kept on keeping on

Sake is usually brewed in a three-stage process, but “Shizen Shu” is brewed using the brewery’s unique “kumidashi four-stage” method, which is unique to the brewery, and is characterized by the sweetness and flavor of the rice. The amount of steamed rice used in the fourth stage of brewing is reduced to 1/3 of the normal amount, making it less sweet than the standard Shizen Shyu, which is called “Melon 3.33. The expression “3.33” was chosen because it has three steps + 1/3 (= 0.33) steps. It has a fresh ginjo aroma like a fully ripe melon created by changing the brewing formula, and has an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity.
Niida brewery official website

I see that “three times” and “one-third” are numerical expressions.

What’s Kimoto

Think of “kimoto” as the opposite of “sokujyo,” or “fast brewing. Quick brewing is, to put it simply, doping. It artificially speeds up the fermentation process and makes it quicker. The opposite is true for Kimoto, which waits for natural fermentation to grow and bring it closer to perfection. The sake I have tasted so far seems to have a full-bodied flavor, while the sake that claims to be “fast brewing” has a yogurt or lactic acid taste. Namo yeast requires a lot of time and effort. Therefore, although it is not indicated on the label, most of the world’s sake is made using the fast brewing method. On the other hand, those made with the “Namo yeast” method are indicated on the label. It is a good idea to show off the time and effort that has gone into making it.

Cooment: A
Sweet aroma, strong sweetness, lingering finish

Comment: B
Kimotokimoto 3.33 Unadulterated, unfiltered, raw sake with no yeast additives.
Very strong aroma of banana and melon sweetness, with aromas of raw rice, marshmallow sweetness, and dairy products such as cream and cheese.
The first half of the flavor is moderately soft and sweet, with some acidity.
The mid-palate changes to bright lactic acidity.
The finish is light with aromas of raw materials similar to marshmallow and cheese.
The lingering finish on the tongue is very pronounced

It is a sake yeast, but it has a lactic acid taste. It has a complex flavor, as it is commonly called. Is it a sake to be enjoyed with a pleasant aroma? It is similar to Kid, a popular ginjo-shu among the sake I have had so far. It is suitable as an aperitif. It seems to go well with sashimi and raw fish. It is also suitable as a mouthwash to refresh the fresh smell. Melon” is probably a ginjo aroma. It’s a popular type of aroma right now.

Today’s snack “Tacos”

I wanted to eat tacos, so I bought this on my way home. Lots of ingredients.

Speaking of tacos, it must be Corona. I tried sake and Corona to see which goes better with tacos.

Unfortunately, the Corona won. Sake is no slouch either, but this time it was not the right portion. It’s packed with a lot of contents.

Special menu only at Ueno branch. Misakikou

Asia/Tokyo7

In Japan, sushi is cheap and easy to find anywhere.
Today I visited a place where you can get this unique sushi for $1.

So far, I have been to “Kura-zushi“, “Sushiro“, and other famous conveyor belt sushi restaurants all over Japan.

This time, I visited a famous local restaurant. Although it claims to be a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, it is a restaurant where the chef makes the sushi.

Miura Misakikou
How to order
First of all, the highlight of the menu; I ordered the $1 tuna platter.
Finally, the Arashio soup.

Miura Misakikou

Tuna Wholesaler “Miura Misakikou” is mainly located in Kanagawa Prefecture, next to Tokyo. They also have a branch in Singapore. I went to the Ueno branch in Tokyo.

Ueno has been home to many wholesalers since ancient times and has a shopping district famous in Tokyo for its restaurants, clothing stores, dry goods, etc. Many people come here to enjoy shopping, eating and drinking. There are also a lot of sushi restaurants, and Miura Misakikou, a tuna wholesaler, had a lot of customers even after lunch time.

The spinning plate is probably an advertisement. I’m not sure either.

How to order

Ordering is done in the traditional style of writing on a piece of paper. If you can’t write Japanese, it’s not easy. To be honest, this style is a bit troublesome even for Japanese. Tabbed is easy and good. When you have decided on your order, write it down on a piece of paper and hand it to the cook or waitress.

There is a small plate for soy sauce, so use it only for soy sauce, unlike the old conveyor belt sushi.

The price is a little higher than conveyor belt sushi. It’s not the same price all the time. There are some unusual ingredients. This is the difference from chain restaurants.

First of all, the highlight of the menu; I ordered the $1 tuna platter.

Let’s break it down and eat it. You can’t eat it in one bite. It’s almost like sashimi.　It tastes healthy because it’s not fatty. One of the features of this Ueno restaurant is this large roll. They also have a variety of other dishes such as a large prawn dish.

Salmon with cheese. Seared salmon, regular salmon.
Unlike conveyor-belt sushi, the sushi is made by hand, so the rice is firm and the ingredients are on top, making the sushi better than chain restaurants.

Gari (ginger) I eat gari to refresh my palate, so if your palate gets greasy, eat it to refresh yourself.

Hand Delivery

Today’s top choice, “Unagi Sushi,” is sweet and delicious.
Raw shirasu. Do you understand shirasu? It is a small fish eaten whole. All Japanese people eat it.

Finally, the Arashio soup.

And finally, ara soup. In this kind of sushi restaurant, I recommend the sushi restaurant’s miso soup.
Arashiru is a miso soup made from the bones of the fish.
Arashi refers to the head and bones of the fish, which cannot be made into sushi.
The meat around the bones is very tasty, and the meat of the head and cheeks is also very tasty, though only a little.

The ara soup (miso soup) is more delicious at sushi restaurants with well-trained craftsmen than at conveyor-belt sushi chains. The soup is made by extracting the broth from the bones of the fish, which are filled with the flavor of the fish that cannot be produced by amateurs. It is not easy to make at home.

The most famous sake, Kubota. How about its sparkling

Asia/Tokyo6

Today, too, I’m drinking alone in the dust. It is not often sold. Sparkling. On this day, I looked around at several liquor stores. However, they had some, but nothing I wanted, and I was about to run out of time, so this time I bought a major sparkling sake, Kubota Sparkling.

Kubota Sparkling
Taste Evaluation
Cheese pizza

The price of the sparkling ones is a bit expensive: 500 ml is over 1,000 yen, which is roughly double the price of a long can of beer. I’ve been thinking of focusing on sparkling lately.

Sparkling, also known as bubble or happoshu. Since it doesn’t have a specific name, it doesn’t have a specific genre, such as junmai-shu or ginjo-shu.

The characteristic of sparkling sake is that it is easy to drink because it is carbonated. People over 20 years old must have had champagne and sparkling wine at some point, so they are used to drinking them, and their brains remember how delicious they are.

Oh, unlike Kido, this is a traditional cap for sake. Open the bottle without worry.

I love the sound of this.

The smell is gone with the carbonation, but there is a slight sweetness of rice in the air, and here you can tell that it is still sake.

Gulp!

Comment: A
Really like a white wine, light! Perfect for this time of year!

Sparkling Taste Evaluation

Easy to drink. No cloying taste. The overall taste is restrained. Lactic acidity → a little sweetness → a little alcohol → spiciness (sharpness). Sourness, sweetness, freshness. The message is that “light and dry” will not be compromised. It might be better to think of it as a cocktail rather than sake. As the official website says, it is certainly not wrong to say that it has a muscat flavor. It is easy to match with western food. It seems to be suitable as a mouthwash to refresh the mouth, even with sashimi. However, it is sweet enough to be enjoyed as an aperitif or an appetite enhancer in small quantities. I don’t know why, but I feel that sparkling wine gets drunk faster than sparkling wine, so 500ml may be the right amount. 4 people can drink a glass each, so it is good for an opening ceremony.

cheese pizza

I have been cooking at home more and more lately. I made a corned beef and cheese pizza, although the oven temperature was not quite right and it was burnt. It doesn’t look good, but it went well with the sparkling wine. It refreshes the thick tomato sauce and cheese.

The party was continue.

Where is the best revolving sushi bar. The eternal question.

Asia/Tokyo4

so I went to the most popular revolving sushi restaurant in Japan, “Sushiro”. It is more famous in Japan than Kura-sushi! I’m sure you’re familiar with it, as it has branches overseas as well.

Table of Contents

A brief description of “Sushiro”.
Introducing the Japanese “Sushiro” system, New Year’s limited and slightly different sushi.
Check out method in the Shushiro

A brief description of “Sushiro“.

Sushiro is currently the most famous sushi restaurant in Japan, even more so than Kura Sushi.

Originally, a sushi chef from Osaka ran a private sushi restaurant. Later, he opened a 100 yen per plate uniform store. Expanded to the Kanto region. Developed the world’s first comprehensive management system for opening sushi restaurants. A major company became a shareholder, and the restaurant became the most reasonably priced and delicious conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in Japan.

Introducing the Japanese “Sushiro” system, New Year’s limited and slightly different sushi.

This is the Tokyo Gotanda branch.
I knew I had to wait my turn.

You can either make a reservation in advance using the app on your phone or touch the receptionist to wait for your turn.
I would recommend you to use the app to make a reservation. Because my number was 118, and by the way, the three groups in line before me, 114, 115, and 116, had made reservations using the app and came in after me. I was passed over for the turn.

However, if you make a reservation through the app and do not show up on time, be punctual in Japan because if you are not called three times, you will be put on hold and have to check in again, and you will be the fifth or later in line.

20 to 30 minutes of waiting.

My turn has come. When your turn comes. Scan the QR on the receipt for your turn number into the scan on the side. Confirm your seat.

You can find your seat number on the table or on the seating map, so check it before taking your seat.

Next, when ordering, you touch the tablet that you are all familiar with, and you can select English, Chinese, or Korean.

Now let me introduce you to the New Year’s special sushi.

The inside of the Gotanda store is a little cramped. The other stores are a bit more spacious and relaxing.

In the meantime, I prepared a cup of tea and a glass of beer.

For starters, I ordered a set of three salmon for 170 yen, which is very cheap.

Yummy!!

There are two types of soy sauce: one is the common “Awase soy sauce” in Japan, and the other is “Amadare soy sauce” suitable for sushi and sashimi. This is a sweet soy sauce. There is no right or wrong way to choose, so choose whichever you prefer.

The wasabi is turned around on a rotating rail, so you can take as much as you want. It’s free.

At Sushiro, you can order not only sushi, but also desserts, side dishes, and ramen at reasonable prices.

Well, today came the New Year’s limited sushi set that I was interested in, the Special Tuna 7-Piece Set.

1,000 yen per plate for 7 pieces

The rice seemed a little messy, probably because they were busy. It’s not about the appearance, it’s about the taste.

Reddish tuna is pickled tuna. And the one with oil on it is chutoro.　After all, tuna is delicious. It melts in my mouth, and when I bite into it, the softness and flavor spreads throughout my mouth.

And finally, negitoro.
I wrapped it in nori, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and took a bite.
The freshness of the scallions and the sweetness of the seaweed and soy sauce are perfect and complement the tuna. It’s the best.

The moment the sushi came.

I’ve never seen sushi like this in Japan, and it was my first time trying it too. It may not be fit for the Japanese palate.

Occasionally, Japanese sushi restaurants offer unusual sushi like this one

Great in USA. The Latest Kura Sushi Technology

Asia/Tokyo3

Kura Sushi is popular in Japan.
Among them, the Asakusa branch is a store that is pushing forward with IT.
It was the first in Japan to have its interior costumes registered with the Patent Office. All in all, it is one of the most advanced conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Japan. Let us introduce you to its system and taste.

KURA SUSHI

Reception method

Many conveyor-belt sushi bars today have automatic reception.
The system is the same as other “Sushiro” and “Hamazushi” restaurants, and this receipt is the seat number and the number at the checkout.

Kura sushi Inside the restaurant

Even as a Japanese, I had never seen such a large space. My seat number is indicated on the electronic display board, and I am number 43.

The decor of the restaurant is probably inspired by Japanese street food. The atmosphere was like a festival.

Kura sushi Inside the restaurant at the counter (a seat for one person).

This time I was alone, so I took a seat at the counter (a seat for one person).

How to order

When you touch the tablet, you will be given a lecture on how to pick up your sushi. After that, you can choose whether you want to use the system where the waiter counts your plate at checkout, or the system where you put your plate in the gap under the belt where the sushi is carried and you get a lottery if you eat a certain amount. If you don’t like loud noises, you can call the waiter when you pay.

You can order from your tablet, just like at the revolving sushi restaurant, or you can order from your cell phone by reading the QR code on the table.
You can also order from your cell phone by reading the QR code on the table. If someone else is ordering, you can just walk in and order without waiting for your turn.

Compared to “Hama-sushi” and “Sushiro”, there are fewer condiments. They are not very particular and are looking for simplicity.

The menu of Kura-Sushi is also available in English and Chinese. And with the exception of special sushi, all items are uniformly priced. This is very cheap. A plate of sushi costs about $1.　

Start ordering

wasabi

You can take all the wasabi you want. It will take a while before you see it again, so be sure to take more in advance.

Ninja chopsticks.

Ninja chopsticks.
Even as a Japanese, I had to look for them. I couldn’t find my chopsticks. It was hiding like a ninja. In the middle picture, the chopsticks are under the table, where you insert your hand into the hole and lift up the cut table.

Evaluation of the taste

At Kura Sushi, from what I can see of the sushi rice, it looks as if a machine is probably holding the rice. As is the case with any revolving sushi bar, this is inevitable because of the price.
And use the plate that you took as there are no small plates available for soy sauce in the recent kaitenzushi.
Sushi restaurants that are not chains always have a plate dedicated to soy sauce.

I’ve never had the Tuna Dragon Roll before, but it was very tasty. It’s only available for a limited time, so if you find it, give it a try. If you find it, give it a try. It may suit your taste as a foreigner.

And the Rich Cheddar Cheese Tempura Sushi is also good for foreigners. The cheese is made into tempura and put on the sushi. This is a dish that can be eaten on a regular basis, so try it when you go to Kurazushi.

Lastly, the tuna roll with raw egg.
This is also delicious.

Kura-sushi’s menu is simple and the ingredients are fresh and the sushi is formed and delivered to your hand. The systemization of the restaurant makes ordering stress-free and the prices are reasonable, so it is easy to calculate the bill.
One thing that is missing is a bit more variety in the sushi selection. I guess that is the only way to keep the prices uniform.

How to pay

Checkout machine where you do everything yourself.

When you’re full, press the checkout button on the tablet. After that, take the receipt issued at the reception to the checkout counter, where you can scan the barcode into the machine.
Cards, cash, and electronic money are all accepted.
