Saké in Ontario | 「Made in Ontario」なお酒

From Mobile 2012
I went to LCBO* near Yonge and Wellesley to get some cans of beer last night. In this small store, they have more stuff than what they used to have more than 10 years ago. I can see more selections for Japanese and Korean liquors now.

When my friend and I were in front of the shelves of East Asian origin liquors, we saw 5 or 6 kinds of saké on the shelves. I am usually a beer drinker and an occasional wine drinker and I don't really drink saké by itself although it would be very nice to have saké for dinner with really good (possibly fish/seafood) dishes.

We actually found a made-in-Ontario saké in the selection now!
I listend to an interview with the brewer on CBC Radio1 sometime ago, but it is available now.

I want to try this saké sometime maybe when I have a special moment or two (when?).

*LCBO is a local liquor store in Ontario


昨夜、缶ビールを買いにYongeとWellesleyの近くのLCBO*に行った。小さい店舗だが、買えるお酒の種類は10年以上前のそれに比べたらもっと種類が増えたと思う。日本や韓国のお酒の種類も増えたと思う。

友人と僕は、東アジアのお酒コーナーの前にいて、5~6種の日本酒を商品棚に見つけた。僕はだいたいビールしか飲まない。たまにワインを飲んだりもするが、日本酒はそれだけで飲まない。おいしい(魚やシーフードの)料理の夕食と飲んだらとても良いんだろうけど。

その中に、Made in Ontarioの日本酒を見つける!
以前、CBC Radio1でオンタリオで日本酒の醸造を始めたという人のインタビューを聞いたっけ。そのお酒がLCBOで買える様になっていた。

特別な機会なんかあれば(いつ?)、このお酒を飲んでみたいと思っている。

*LCBO はオンタリオ州にあるお酒が買えるお店です。
