Introducing some recommended snacks that you can easily pick up with your hands!

Cheese seaweed roll...

Slice hotel cheese or similar into 4-5mm pieces, wrap shiso leaves cut in half, and then wrap with grilled nori.

The seaweed tends to peel off easily, so it's best to press it with a toothpick.

Yamagata's sake is famous all over the country. Among them, ``Juyondai'' (Takagi Sake Brewery), which is said to be a fantastic sake, is famous for being difficult to obtain.

The sake is made with great care, and because of this, the number of bottles sold is limited, making it difficult to obtain and is said to be a phantom sake.

It looks even more delicious when poured into a wine glass.

This is Tohoku Meijo Co., Ltd. whose representative brand is ``Hatsuko''.

As a side note, it reminded me of "Grandson" by Ituro Oizumi, a Yamagata singer who created a hit song.

Naming the sake in the image above! It's already fashionable, isn't it?

Enjoy sake chilled in a warm room and served in a wine glass.

You'll feel intoxicated by the silence of winter.

Doesn't drinking cold sake make your body cold? That makes you feel anxious.

However, sake made using rice and rice malt is a sake that warms the body.

Therefore, you can enjoy it without worry even in the cold season.

Of course, drinking too much is not a good idea.

Yamagata's specialty ``Don Don Yaki'' that goes well with SAKE is recommended as a hearty side dish.

It's very easy to make! ……

Gently dissolve the flour in the diluted stock on a hot plate (a frying pan is also fine)

Bake the sausage thinly, and before it is completely baked, add thinly sliced ​​sausage green seaweed, red ginger if you like, roll it up with a chopstick, spread the sauce, and it's done!

This goes well with alcohol. It also fits your stomach well, so you won't get sick.

summary

The traditional image of sake being ``transferred from a sho bottle to a sake bottle and enjoyed with a choko'' has been replaced by the idea of ​​``sipping it in a wine glass,'' and it has become popular among women.

Especially recently, it has become increasingly popular overseas, with some breweries opening branches overseas and sales seem to be steadily increasing.

In Yamagata, there are many sake brewing companies that not only change the way people drink sake, but also focus on preparing sake that goes well with wine glasses.

This time we only introduced a few sake breweries, but please try Yamagata's sake in a wine glass.

Finally, in Yamagata dialect, say, ``Drink it!''
