I went out for drinks at "Wa Sousaku Akari"!

"I went out drinking" blog, which suggests delicious and fun ways to enjoy Japanese sake.

Hello everyone!
I have been promoted to the rank of Yoshinogawa Michi 2nd Dan.DonnosukeThat is correct.

There are only two days left in the year!
Have you started preparing for the New Year?
 
Now then, the last shop I'll introduce this year is"Japanese-style creative lighting"It's you!

At this time of year, the city of NagaokailluminationIt will be colored.
On my way to the shop, I passed by Aore and saw this beautiful tree decorated there.

Apparently, about 70,000 lights illuminate in time with the music box.

 

And here is"Japanese creative light"Mr. Miss!

This is a photo of the side of the store, which you can see if you approach from the back of Aore.
It has a lovely Japanese modern style and a wabi-sabi aesthetic.

 Here we go! Excuse me for intruding!

Who is this?
Yes. This person is from Chuetsu Yeast Co., Ltd."Yarimizu" (a type of stream)My name is [Name].

What's that?
Yes. Actually, Yoshinogawa has a facility called "Nakagoshi Yeast" on the same premises.
mainlyBread yeastWe have a group company that manufactures it.

Yeast has recently been attracting attention in the field of beauty,
This "yeast" is also essential for making alcohol!
Therefore, for Yoshinogawa as well, Chugoshi yeast is a way to share know-how.
They are very important to me!

Today, we will discuss the entire Yoshinogawa Group.Young Professionals Networking EventThat's all.

Here's the mastermind behind it all.

Member of Yoshinogawa Sake Division"Watanabe"is.

He is not only knowledgeable about the sake brewing process at Yoshinogawa, but also about the microbiology related to sake.
An all-rounder involved in analysis, research, and product development.
Despite being such a multi-talented person, when Watanabe gets drunk, he can't stop talking about "Kamen Rider" lol.
But don't worry, when it comes to sake brewing...Seriousis!!
   
Socheers!
This is the drink we're toasting with today. The flagship product of the premium series.
"Ginjo Gokujo Yoshinogawa"is.

How luxurious!
The appetizer was sea snails!

It pairs perfectly with alcohol!

 Classic sashimi!

It's often said that sake goes well with any food, but
Personally, Nonnosuke"Sashimi is the best accompaniment to sake!"Right.

From here on out, the drinks just keep flowing.
After all, Akari-san has a wide variety of local sake!
You can enjoy as many as 12 different kinds of local sake!

Since many people in our company originally like alcohol, we don't just drink our own brand of alcohol,
We tried almost everything on the menu, from this to that, and drank almost all of the local sake and plum wine!

All the drinks were delicious!

 It's salmon! It's fish!

image11

An unusual menu item for a banquet course meal!
When I think of salmon, I think of it as a side dish for lunch boxes.
For a moment, Nonosuke thought, "Meat would be better," but when he tasted it,

"So delicious!"

The fat content was just right, and the members in their 40s were delighted.
Cod milt with ponzu sauce is also refreshing.So fluffy and smooth!

Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?

I tend to forget to take pictures, so I hardly took any photos of the members who participated this time, lol.
Stay tuned for the next episode! (What, you're not looking forward to it?)

 

So, once again tonight I'm full and completely satisfied.
This restaurant, "Akari," offers not only banquets but also private rooms, making it perfect for families and couples.
Taking your time and going at a leisurely pace is also recommended.It was a really nice shop with a calm atmosphere.
There are many types of local sake available, so if you're a sake lover, be careful not to drink too much!

Thank you for reading my last "I went out drinking" blog post of the year.
We will continue to regularly share our recommended shops next year as well.
Please look forward to it.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
