Introducing some recommended snacks that can be easily eaten with your hands!
Cheese seaweed roll..
Slice hotel cheese or similar into 4-5mm pieces, wrap it around a shiso leaf cut in half, and then wrap it again in roasted nori
The seaweed peels off easily, so it's a good idea to hold it down with a toothpick
When you think of sake, you may imagine it being drunk by older men at an izakaya, but recently it has become popular with women as well, as it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways
There are also types such as sparkling sake that taste like champagne, so they would be great for parties

Yamagata's specialty "Dondon Yaki" is a hearty dish that goes well with sake and is recommended
Dissolve the flour in diluted dashi stock on a hot plate (or a frying pan)
Before it is completely cooked, top with thinly sliced sausage, green laver, and pickled ginger (if desired), roll it up with chopsticks, spread with sauce, and it's done!
This goes really well with alcohol. It fills your stomach well, so you won't get a hangover
summary
The traditional image of sake being poured from a 1.8L bottle into a tokkuri bottle and drunk in a small cup has been replaced by the idea of drinking it in a wine glass, which has become popular among women
Recently, it has become increasingly popular overseas, with some breweries opening branches overseas and sales growing steadily
Yamagata is home to many sake breweries that are not only changing the way we drink, but are also focusing on brewing sake that is suitable for wine glasses
This time we only introduced a few sake breweries, but we hope you will try Yamagata sake in a wine glass
I'm a member of the Neft editorial team. I love alcohol, music, and traveling, so I indulge in some drinks after work on weekdays, and on weekends, if I have free time, I travel to nearby areas. I work hard every day with the goal of eventually traveling overseas to find connections to Tohoku through NEFT reporting.
