Everyone loves this sake. : ASAHI SHUZO “DASSAI 23 Junmai Daiginjo”
- 2009-12-10 (Thu)
- food/drink

When you open this Dassai bottle, a brilliant sake aroma is released that makes you feel happy…It needs no explanation about its delight.
The sake is classified as Junmai daiginjo. “Junmai” means “made of only rice and water, contains no additives.” “Daiginjo” means “the raw material rice is polished off by 50% or more.” In general, the more a rice is polished off, the finer taste a sake gets so it costs a lot to make daiginjo but its taste is worth the cost.

The medieval Portuguese cake remains in Japan?! : Castella in Nagasaki.
- 2009-11-22 (Sun)

Castella has been a popular cake in Japan for a long time but it seems to be different from traditional Wagashi. It looks like a Western sponge cake, made of eggs, flour, sugar and starch syrup.
In addition, it is more sweet than ordinary Wagashi.

Kyoto is an exclusive city? Michelin guide Kyoto & Osaka 2010 published in Japan !

“Michelin Guide Kyoto & Osaka 2010” is published in Japan on 16th Oct 2009. I think the guidebook is very helpful for Kyoto and Osaka tours.
However, the restaurants in Kyoto refused to be brought in the Michelin guide. Michelin Director Jean-Luc Naret criticized them as being conservative.
Sometimes Kyoto is regarded as an exclusive city. Is it true ?
