00:00YOSHIDA RUI
00:25I'm Yoshida Rui.
00:26Today I'm in Kobe, but I just got off the Shinkansen.
00:32This is the first time I've been to a sake brewery.
00:37I've come here a lot to drink sake.
00:43There are a lot of sake breweries, so I've been to a lot of places.
00:48Now, let's go.
00:50Kobe, the port city that represents Kansai.
00:58There is a famous sake brewery in a city where people and things coexist.
01:05Mr. Yoshida came to a luxury shopping street that connects Sannomiya Station and Motomachi Station.
01:13It's a great atmosphere here.
01:24This is a great place to drink sake.
01:30This is also a great place to drink sake.
01:34There is an old signboard here.
01:52This signboard tells the history of Kobe.
01:57Excuse me.
02:00Welcome.
02:04Is everyone excited?
02:07Can I sit here?
02:09Yes, please.
02:12Good evening.
02:17This is a 106-year-old Kinpai Mori-Honten, with a shop under the train.
02:24The owner of this shop is a Kinpai brewery.
02:33You can still feel the atmosphere of this brewery after the war and the disaster.
02:41When I pass by here, I feel like I'm being drawn in.
02:48It's the power of tradition.
02:51I'd like to drink it raw.
02:57Mr. Chikako, the fourth generation, stands in the shop with the third generation.
03:06Thank you for waiting.
03:09Thank you very much.
03:14Excuse me, can I have a toast?
03:18Cheers!
03:23Excuse me, can I have a toast?
03:26Cheers!
03:29He's not here yet.
03:31Cheers!
03:40The second generation is a celery Kinpira.
03:49Celery Kinpira.
03:53The taste is good.
03:55How long has this counter been here?
03:58It's been here for decades.
04:00It's been here since before the war.
04:02It's been here since before the war?
04:04Yes, it's been here since before the war.
04:06It's been here since before the disaster.
04:09I see.
04:10I took it off and put it back on.
04:13It's the same counter.
04:16This is a tree that has a long history.
04:21Yes, it is.
04:22This is a rare tree.
04:24It's a tree planted in a shrine.
04:27It's called Ogatama.
04:30It doesn't grow much in a shrine.
04:34I think it's a good counter.
04:38It's a hard tree.
04:40It's been used for about 200 years.
04:44That's why it's still in good condition.
04:46It's a tree that has a long history.
04:48Which one should I start with?
04:51What do you recommend?
04:54I recommend Kizushi.
04:56Kizushi?
04:57Yes.
04:59The traditional taste has been inherited for generations.
05:03Kizushi is a type of dried fish in the Kanto region.
05:09This is Shimesaba.
05:13Excuse me.
05:16It looks delicious.
05:18It's beautiful.
05:22There are two types of Shimesaba and Thai.
05:28Excuse me.
05:30Japanese sake.
05:31Japanese sake.
05:32Yes.
05:34Thank you for waiting.
05:35It's overflowing.
05:36It's overflowing.
05:38Thank you very much.
05:40Since its establishment, it's been sold out.
05:44You have to come here to drink it at a shop.
05:47Cheers.
05:52I'm sure you want to say it.
05:55Why is it easy to drink?
05:57Of course, it's a dry taste.
06:00It goes down to my soft throat.
06:15It makes me cry.
06:17It's not deep.
06:19But, it's a good way to drink.
06:22It's perfect for that.
06:31Next is Kizushi of white fish and sea bream.
06:35This is unique to Morihonten.
06:42This is the taste of the master's skill.
06:47Thank you very much.
06:50Why is it so delicious?
06:53May I ask you a question?
06:54Yes.
06:56What kind of existence is this?
06:58This is what you should order at first.
07:03When you come here, you should order this.
07:07It's also recommended for NUTA.
07:12I haven't eaten NUTA yet.
07:15Then, I'll have NUTA.
07:19The key to the taste is Kaeri-chiri-men.
07:24Next, he mixes Wakegi and cucumber with Karashisu-miso.
07:36The texture is amazing.
07:39It's very different.
07:41Everything is delicious.
07:45I can drink TARU-ZAKE.
07:49Wow.
07:53Everyone is drinking TARU-ZAKE.
07:59Excuse me.
08:02Are you a wife?
08:03No, I'm not.
08:05Are you a doctor?
08:07No, I'm not.
08:09But, you drink TARU-ZAKE like a family.
08:13That's right.
08:16What do you like about this restaurant?
08:19It's very quiet.
08:21There's no BGM.
08:23You can listen to the sound of the train going up the hill.
08:26You can read a book and drink while listening to the sound of the train.
08:29You can also sit with your wife.
08:32You can talk to each other.
08:35The sound of the train and the BGM are great.
08:44Thank you very much.
08:47At that time, he can only enjoy TARU-ZAKE there.
08:54Can you tell me what you have to eat here?
09:00This is KIZUSHI.
09:02No, I just ate it.
09:05I'll give you a Chikuwa salad.
09:14Chikuwa?
09:16I'll wrap a potato salad in Chikuwa and fry it.
09:22This is delicious.
09:24Is that a side dish?
09:26Yes, it is.
09:28Please try this.
09:32He opens the Chikuwa and puts a lot of potato salad in it.
09:39And he fries it with batter.
09:42This is the fourth generation.
09:47I'll give you a Chikuwa salad.
09:49Thank you very much.
09:51He says that once you eat it, you'll get used to it.
09:56This is YOKOZUNA, a JUNMAI-SHU made by KINPAI.
09:59You can taste the umami of the rice.
10:05It's spicy, but the taste is soft.
10:09It's a good combination.
10:17It's a little spicy, but it's a potato salad.
10:27Have you decided to follow me?
10:35Yes, I have.
10:37I'm glad to hear that.
10:41Does that mean that someone will always come to this restaurant?
10:48That's right.
10:50Mr. Yoshida.
10:52Did you write about living in the future when you were in elementary school?
10:57When I was in elementary school?
11:00I don't remember.
11:03I wrote about living in the future.
11:06I wrote about what I want to do in the future.
11:09Let's leave this kind of culture.
11:14Let's toast.
11:17Let's toast.
11:21I'm sorry to force you to toast.
11:24Cheers.
11:30It's been a century since I started drinking.
11:34It's been 100 years.
11:36I can't tell you everything.
11:39Cheers.
11:48Morin Honten was a great restaurant.
11:53It's like a remnant of the Showa era.
12:00But it's not like I'm going backwards.
12:05In other words, I want to recreate the atmosphere of the Showa era.
12:22That's why I can't quit drinking.
12:29There are many people in Kobe.
12:33I'm going to come here often from now on.
12:38I'm going to take a look around.
12:43See you later.
12:46Koukashita, where you can enjoy Kinpu and sakazuki.
12:53It's a great place to spend the night at the port.
