Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan｜将軍やきとり

A long-established yakitori restaurant. There is a wide selection of Japanese sake. This day was the first day of the new year, and the new government was unveiled. The yakitori was fine, especially the bonjiri.

A yakitori restaurant with a long reputation that has been passed down through generations. Whenever I wanted to go, it was always full and I couldn't get in, but the other day I was able to get a drink at the right time ^_^ The sake set of my favorite sake called Shogun Set was the best value for money ^_^ The staff made me feel very good. I hope to visit you again ^_^

A shop where you can drink rare sake at low prices 《2016/7 Visit》 I visited for the first time around 7pm on a weekday. I passed by the store several times and thought, ``I want to go in'', but it was always crowded so I couldn't go in. Today I saw it empty through the glass, so I decided to go in. There are many sake labels pasted in front of the store, and inside the store is a sake brewery apron? There are many on display. You can feel the owner's passion for sake. I think there were about 15 types of sake on the menu, including 15 types of cold sake and 8 types of hot sake. First, I ordered the ``Chochin'' newspaper series from Aichi Prefecture. Customers who order sake will be served water as a chaser. You can choose between soft water and hard water. This was the first time I'd seen something like this. I think people who like Japanese sake will be very happy. Otoshi is a small assortment of snacks. I'm happy about this The second glass of sake was from the popular Shinsei Sake Brewery. “Special Distribution 2016” caught my eye so I ordered it. *The following information is available on the website. 【Product name】 “2016 Special Edition Encyclopedia of Classic Japanese Sake Techniques” 【concept】 Using classical techniques and methods that existed in the history of sake (but no longer exist), Let people enjoy the wide range of sake production methods and the flavors expressed through them. [Date of distribution] Total of 3 times in April, May, and June 2016 x 2 types (6 types) 【overview】 ◆April 1. 94% pure rice (highest rice polishing ratio in Shinsei history, 94%) 2. Yeast-additive-free sake (no yeast additives, no cultured yeast used) ◆May 3. Genroku sake (reproducing the taste of the Edo Genroku period with its rich sweetness and sourness) 4. Ding fermented sake (deep flavor due to lactic acid fermentation) ◆June 5. Raw rice koji brewed sake (a fantastic technique of preparing koji using raw rice instead of steamed rice) 6. Re-Shikomi Kijoshu (method obtained from ancient Japanese sake brewing. Kijoshu prepared with Kijoshu) It's a really interesting project. As a young brewer, this is something to think about. I drank both types 5 and 6. Raw rice malt sake is refreshing and fruity. Saishikomi Kijoshu is sweeter and tastes like white wine. I heard that Shinsei's Hankai is hard to come by, so I feel that the owner of this place must be making a lot of effort. However, I felt that there were few customers drinking sake. I'll visit again thank you for the food －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Next time I would like to drink in memory of my ex-husband. I only visited once a few years ago. At that time, my husband was in his 40s, and I remember that when I asked for sake, he talked passionately about sake even though he was busy. For some reason, I thought I'd like to meet the owner and have some sake, so I wandered into the shop. There were two women working at the counter, and I didn't see the owner. I thought the management had changed, but the many sake brewery aprons on the walls inside the store are still the same. And above all, there is a person who seems to be the owner in the photo taken at the sake brewery. I was convinced that today was a day off, so I ordered some sake. As with the last time I visited, there are almost no alcoholic beverages from major breweries on the menu. There was a description of the sake, so I used it as a reference and ordered my favorite type of sake. It was a fruity and pleasant drink with a slight pineapple-like aroma. For the knob, I ordered yakitori, cream cheese, and iburi gakko, took a sip, and paid the bill. Then, the woman who was grilling yakitori asked me, ``Is this your first time here?'' and I answered, ``No. I visited once a long time ago. There was a man there before, right?'' Places I visited... “That was my older brother, but he passed away three years ago.” I thought he was still in his 30s or 40s. I'm sorry… ``When I visited for the first time, my brother told me about Chochin, a sake wrapped in newspaper.'' "I see..." she said sadly. Next time, I will come to drink sake to remember my husband.
