Chapter 21 The Legendary Chewing Wine

It is said that people depend on food, but for Timoteo, his recipes include but are not limited to the periodic table of elements, so for him, food can be regarded as everywhere.

However, humans, no, not only humans, most creatures have a deep love for food, just like those family members who respect him very much on weekdays, when they mention cooking, they will also sneer at British food. People who love food will give pointers to some Italian restaurants, and even Sebastian, who has always been terrified of himself, will complain about his taste in food from time to time.

Timoteo thinks this is very interesting, after all, Italy is also a country of gourmet food.The world generally knows that French cuisine is a world-renowned cuisine, but ignores the fact that Italian cuisine is the true origin of European cuisine.Italians also love food. Even among mafia gangs, inviting each other to dinner is a typical means of socializing.

Influenced by such a gourmet environment, in fact Timoteo also likes to eat delicious things, but he prefers to try many incredible things compared to the desire to eat for a while, and puts aside his own reality The situation, just as a mafia boss, the more random and extensive the recipe is, the less likely it is to be poisoned, even if he can actually eat it as an ingredient with great relish.

But this time the trip is different. Although he made it clear to the outside world that he was going to travel, he did not clearly explain where he was going or what he was going to do. So when he got off the plane, he felt that he could Use another appearance to do all kinds of things you want to do.

"Well, how should I put it, although I said I was going to travel, but I always felt that something was missing..." Sitting in the car going to the plane, Timoteo rested his chin with his hand, "Now I finally thought of it, That's right, I'm going to find delicious food!"

"Well, there are a lot of good Japanese dishes." Sebastian nodded, and the car drove very smoothly, "And Tokyo's Tsukiji Market is quite famous for selling seafood, and March is the best time." During the cherry blossom viewing season, you can go to Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture to eat sakura mackerel sushi, or go to Kochi City to eat first bonito.”

Since his master was going to travel, and he was still going to Japan, Sebastian certainly made various preparations in advance, including food guides from various places.

"It sounds really good." Timoteo hesitated for a while, "By the way, do you have any wine? I think the Japanese one seems to be sake?"

"Yes, but in addition to the wines exported by several large groups, there are more local specialty wines and self-brewed wines." Sebastian nodded.

"Yeah." Satisfied now, Timoteo took out his Nokia, opened the lid and quickly connected to the Internet. The speed of mobile phone networks in Europe is not very good these days, but Timoteo doesn't care either. Anyway, it was just for fun, he turned on his phone and searched casually on the Internet, and suddenly saw something that caught his attention.

"Wait a minute, Sebastian, don't let them fly to Tokyo later, let's go to Gifu County, and I'm going to a place called Itomori Town over there." Timoteo showed an expression of seeing something interesting, full of interest said.

"Well, may I ask why you want to go to this place?" Sebastian is also used to his master's constant talk, "This place, you can tell from the name, is it a small remote place? "

"That place still sells super ancient chewing wine!" Timoteo's eyes lit up a little, "chewing wine! It's such an antique thing!"

"Well... Although I don't know what Chewy Wine is, but the name makes people think of something not very good." Sebastian said tactfully.

"Oh, then your feeling is right, it's the chewing wine." Timoteo looked at the phone with great interest and explained to his ignorant deacon, "The chewing wine originated in Huaguo, and it is the oldest wine in the world. The specific method is to chew the rice first, then put it in a wooden cabinet to let it ferment, and after a few days, it will become a sweet and sour liquor."

"That..." Sebastian couldn't help but said, "I don't intend to explore the history of chewing wine, but as a deacon, I am a little worried about the hygiene of this kind of wine, and since this kind of wine originated in China China, why don't we go directly to China to drink and go to a small place in Japan?"

"There is no way, Huaguo has not used this method to make wine for a long time, only Japan still has it, and even in Japan, most places just use this kind of wine as a sacrificial offering, but you see, the content of this article The master said that he drank the kojiju produced by the local maiden in Itomori Town, Hida City." Timoteo handed the phone to Sebastian, "As for hygiene issues, the kojiju only uses saliva starch The enzyme decomposes starch into sugar, and the fermented bacteria are still the yeast in the environment. If the brewing is successful, it is actually no different from ordinary rice wine, and the bacteria have long been killed by the metabolites of the yeast. If there are oral bacteria The ferocity leading to the growth of miscellaneous bacteria is just an ordinary brewing failure, and we will also encounter this problem when we brew our own wine, and there is nothing special about chewing wine.”

Timoteo couldn't help but refute this special wine and his own whim, and after a while he said firmly: "Anyway, I want to go there!"

"I see, I'll contact the airport right away." Sebastian replied decisively.

Because it was not a big trip, Timoteo chose to take the first class on an international flight instead of using his own private car, so Sebastian contacted the airport very quickly to ask if there was a flight to Hida City, Japan .

The people at the airport dutifully told him that there were only three flights to Japan today to Tokyo, two to Kyoto, and one to Osaka.

"Forget it, let's go to Tokyo first, then go to Tsukiji Market to buy some fish, and then go to Itomori Town!" Timoteo said.

It takes about 15 hours to fly from Italy to Japan. When they arrive in Japan, it is already the early morning of the next day.

Since he didn't plan to spend the night in Tokyo, Sebastian quickly canceled the hotel he had booked, and took Timoteo, who had turned into another young man with black hair and black eyes when he came out of the airport. Tsukiji fish market.

They were not human beings anyway, and the mere 15 hours had no impact on them at all. Before dawn, the two happily got into a taxi and headed to Tsukiji.

"By the way, why did you choose such a posture with black hair and black eyes? I remember when you were young, you seemed to have blond hair?" Sitting in the car, Sebastian asked in Italian.

"Ah, the color of the hair and eyes? I just adjusted this color because I simply like black. If you don't think it looks good, I may try other colors later." Timoteo praised Holding a map bought at the exit of the airport, he said to the driver in Japanese without looking up: "By the way, I heard that there are tour guides at the gate of Tsukiji Fish Market who can take people in for a visit. Is this true?"

"Ah, yes, but it doesn't matter if you go by yourself." Although they all have black hair and black eyes, Timoteo's facial features can be seen as Westerners, so the driver didn't expect the other party to speak Japanese to him. Asked, somewhat surprised, and then happily opened the necessary ability of a taxi driver - chat.

The taxi driver told the two of them as much as he could about Tsukiji Fish Market.

Tokyo in the early morning is quite quiet. Although you can still see vehicles passing by from time to time, it is not as noisy and crowded as Tokyo in the daytime. It only took less than two hours for them to arrive from Tokyo International Airport. Tsukiji market.

Because Timoteo and the others were very generous, the taxi driver not only explained to them in detail the things to pay attention to when visiting Tsukiji Market, but also told them which car to take to the Shinkansen after the visit.

Tsukiji Market began to attract tourists since the 1990s, when it lifted the restrictions on entry to other businesses. More and more ordinary visitors and buyers came to visit. Now it has formed a complete industrial chain, and you can even see it at the entrance of the market. to tour guides for tourists.

The market started to stock up at 3 o'clock in the morning, and many merchants were busy working. Sebastian and the others came a little early, but they also saw a lot of fresh seafood shipped from reservoirs, ice storages and other places. The most complete posture when it comes out.

The two spent most of the day eating and drinking here. Timoteo almost ate from one store to another. Although they were also not human, Sebastian once again felt that his appetite was surprisingly huge, and he was always here. It was not until the afternoon that the two of them set off for the destination Timoteo had set before coming to Japan. Itomori Town, a remote village on the outskirts of Hida City, Gifu Prefecture.

The author has something to say:

Hmm... (Commander Ikari's expression) I don't know why, but I wanted to write "Your Name" very much yesterday, so I hesitated all day and half night, and I decided to write it!

But because it was in the early 2000s, the male and female protagonists were still just young friends, so their plots would not appear, please don't expect too much, bow down.
