Preface
From April 1, 2024, there will be a significant price increase for whiskey.
Target brands include major domestic brands such as Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki, and Chita, Nikka Whiskey's Yoichi, Miyagikyo, and Taketsuru.
The price increase is also shocking.
We are introducing only some brands, but as you can see, the prices will increase considerably.
Today I'm going to liquor stores to try and get some before the price goes up.
I don't think I'm greedy enough to buy Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki, and Taketsuru.
My personal goal is Chita.
At least. . at least. . I just want Chita to buy it. .
I'm going to visit a liquor store that brings back memories.
Tokyo Metro 24 hour ticket
When I go to liquor stores, I usually buy a 24-hour Tokyo Metro ticket.
It costs 600 yen for unlimited rides for 24 hours.
The only lines that can be used are Tokyo Metro, so you may not be able to travel the shortest distance, or you may need to walk a little further than the nearest station.
However, this time we focused on Yamaya, visiting six stores in total: Kojimachi store, Akasaka store, Aoyama 1-chome store, Dogenzaka store, Ikebukuro East Exit store, Ikebukuro West Exit store, and other liquor stores in the surrounding area.
I think I took the train a total of 10 times in the past day.
The cheapest fare for just one stop on the Tokyo Metro is 180 yen.
This time I rode 10 times, so the simple calculation would have cost 180 yen x 10 = 1,800 yen, but it only cost 600 yen, which is quite cheap.
In addition, unlimited rides on Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway are sold for 900 yen, and those that include JR and buses are sold for 1,600 yen.
In addition to visiting liquor stores, it can also be used by people living in Tokyo to get around, and of course, by people who are traveling to sightseeing, so please use it as a reference.
Sagaya Shibuya Tokyu Main Store Store
If you go around the liquor stores, you'll be hungry because you'll be walking a lot.
After visiting the liquor store, you'll be drinking whiskey at a bar, so you'll want to avoid anything that leaves a lingering taste in your mouth, such as garlic.
At times like this, I always eat soba and udon.
I'm currently in Shibuya to visit Yamaya Dogenzaka store, soSagaya Shibuya Tokyu Main Store Store” I decided to visit.
Saga Valley is the place I visited before.Satake Ebisu store” This is a shop that also offers 100% soba noodles at a low price.
Kakiage Soba (Mixed Tempura Soba) (warm)
The weather on this day was very cold, even for late March, and it was raining.
Normally, I would like to have Juwari Soba cold, but it was too cold so I had it warm this time.
I think the serving time was about 5 minutes, which is a little long for a stand-up soba restaurant.
First of all, there is an unlimited amount of wakame seaweed.
Only one tray can be placed in the serving slot.
While the person in front is serving wakame, the next item cannot be served.
I think this is one of the reasons why the delivery time is a little longer.
Soba Noodles
It's a little thick and looks like it's flat.
It was chewy, and I could really feel the scent of soba.
Tsuyu (Dipping Broth)
The soup had a strong impression of bonito soup stock.
Kakiage
I felt the onion strongly.
Although it had a crispy texture, it felt like the density was low.
Impressions
I had assumed that 100 percent soba should be served cold, but surprisingly it's not bad either.
Even so, being able to eat 100 percent soba and kakiage for 550 yen is way too cheap.
Sagaya is located at most major stations in Tokyo, so I'm sure I'll be using it again sometime.
