Kurayoshi craft beer 4. Washoku Izakaya Shunmon 5. Ramen Yamato   1. Kitaro beer and 20th century pear chu-hi at Tottori Sand Dunes I drank a pale ale of “Kitaro Beer” at “Sakyu Center View Hill” while looking at Tottori Sand Dunes. “Kitaro Beer” is a Kitaro label version of the popular craft beer “Daisen G Beer“. “Daisen G Beer” is a beer manufactured by Daisen Brewery. At the foot of Daisen National Park (elevation 300m), beer is produced using underground water from Daisen and barley and hops from Daisen. The Kitaro label is affixed, but the contents are “Daisen G Beer”, so it was a very delicious beer. After drinking “Kitaro Beer”, I drank “20th century pear (Asian pear) Chu-hai”. “20th century pear Chuhai” is a pear chu-hai that uses 11% of Tottori’s 20th century pear juice. It is produced by Hayashi Kentaro Shoten in Tottori City. When I tried “20th century pear Chu-hai”, it tastes like 20th century pear.

October itinerary in Japan Day 6 (Kyoto Day 1 Meal edition) (Monday, October 25)   Table of contents 1. Craft beer “Tango Kingdom Seaside Bar” 2. Lunch “Hyoshiro” 3. Dinner “Fukutei”   1. Craft beer “Tango Kingdom Seaside Bar” After exiting the ticket gate of Amahashidate Station, turn right and you will find “Tango Kingdom Seaside Bar”, where you can drink draft beer of craft beer. Isn’t it rare to find a station where you can drink draft beer of craft beer? The craft beer provided by “Tango Kingdom Seaside Bar” is TANGO KINGDOM Beer‘s beer, which is produced at the brewery in the roadside station Tango Kingdom “Food Miyako”. The label design uses the symbol of the Tango region, “Tango Nanahime”. I think it’s a very fashionable label. There is only one type of draft beer that can be drunk at “Tango Kingdom Seaside Bar”, but many types are sold in bottles. I drank draft beer and had a bottle of “MEISTER” lent for shooting. “MEISTER” was a delicious beer with a clean and clear taste.   2. Lunch “Hyoshiro” I took a bus from Amanohashidate to Ine, and after arriving in Ine, I had lunch at “Hyoshiro”. “Hyoshiro”read moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 6 (Kyoto Day 1 Meal edition)

Craft beer “Echizen Fukui Roman Beer” 4. Dinner “Marusanya Fukui Katamachi” 5. Dinner “Tegaru Soba”   1. Comparison of local sake “Mikuni Minatoza” After visiting the former Morita Bank head office, I tried to compare local sake from Fukui prefecture at the nearby “Mikuni Minatoza”. “Mikuni Minatoza” is a hamburger shop, but it is also a strange shop that also offers sake. The hamburger of “Mikuni Minatoza” is highly evaluated. “Mikuni Burger”, which is a local gourmet, contains pickled scallions instead of pickles. The sakes I drank and compared were “Jozan” , “Kita no Sho” and “Hakuryu“. All were delicious sake.   2. Lunch “Amidasoba Fukunoi” I returned to Fukui Station from Mikuni Station and had lunch at “Amidasoba Fukunoi” on the first floor of the building “Happiring” next to Fukui Station. I ordered Echizen oroshi soba (Yen 693), 2 pieces of Yakisaba sushi (grilled mackerel sushi) (Yen 440 ), and Kodai-no-sasazuke (Yen 440).
