Rice wine, its taste was an unprecedented experience. A fresh bite of fruit that fills the mouth with just one bite. And sweetness that leaves a rich but refreshing finish.

Sure, this is exquisite. But ... this is ...

"Let's put your thoughts on it?"

Garraf laughs meaningfully when I'm stiff with the glass.

"Certainly, it's really good, but it won't sell, right?"

I was just shot right and nodded, groaning.

"Yes, that's right. It's a great sake, but it's difficult to sell it on the ground because there are too few dishes on the ground to match this ..."

In today's terrestrial food culture, meat dishes that use plenty of spices are the ultimate treat. It is the same not only in Abu Simbel but in most lands.

Nevertheless, this rice wine is too delicate to match with such dishes. Both flavor and aroma have their own strength, but they are not as outstanding as spices. Well, that doesn't mean it doesn't fit at all, but it's definitely a bit worse than wine or ale.

This is a sake that goes well with dishes that make use of the original taste of the ingredients. According to the records of the database, for example, raw fish fillets and the like.

I knew that at the time of requesting the production, but I did not think that there was a clear difference so far. After all, you don't know until you actually eat it ...

"Sake is not something that can be completed with sake alone. It is just a part of food. So, unless it is consistent with the local food culture-history, it cannot be widely accepted."

Garraf's words are correct. You can't just drink.

"Even if you are pretended at first, if you do not take root as a culture, you will soon get bored. If you sell this liquor, you have to spread the matching food together."

"Why do restaurants open together?"

"Well, maybe that's an ant ..."

"In my opinion, it's safer to stop it."

"Why?"

"It's a matter of the taste of the cook. I don't think anyone who is used to the existing food culture can make a dish that fits this sake in one morning and one night. It's better to do your best. ''

It was a perfect theory. Even if it is reproduced from the database and the taste is mastered, it is unlikely that you can continue to cook dishes that do not conform to the original taste.

Raw fish fillets could be made stably, but raw food culture is unlikely to be welcomed. Hygiene management also seems to be troublesome. When it comes to cooking, it will be difficult in terms of taste.

Garraf continues with that.

"Honestly, mass production of this is impossible for me."

"Is that so?"

"Oh, it's absolutely impossible. It's too much work. It's a miraculously completed piece."

Certainly, rice wine is much more time-consuming than other types of sake. The main reason is that rice, which is the raw material for rice wine, is overwhelmingly short of the sugar required in the fermentation process before making sake.

In order to clear this, it is necessary to steam rice and mix it with what is called koji mold, strictly control the temperature and humidity, and saccharify it. Because of this delicate effort, rice wine is more difficult to manufacture than other sakes.

"Taste will be much worse than the original first-class product."

"I thought it was delicious enough ..."

"No, I know it's made, but it should be even better. That might be a good match for spice-based dishes.

Garraf, who seems to have pride in sake brewing, says so far that there is a barrier that can not be helped. I'm sorry ... There is no doubt that it is good sake ... It is too wasteful to store such wonderful sake in the store. However, if it is unlikely to sell and mass production is not possible.

"--For example."

I listen to Garraf's words.

"Can't we get human resources from the culture where this sake is rooted?"

"Ah"

I was surprised. That's right, as it is said.

No need to do anything we are not used to. All you have to do is drink rice wine and get help from those who can make it.

But does such a beast exist?

Immediately, I contacted Varena in Abu Simbel, asking them to check if rice wine had ever been distributed.

The reply was quick, and there seems to have been some crossovers before. Rice wine seems to be present on the ground now.

"That said, it was so small that it did not spread. And since the civil war began in the production area, no one has crossed over. "

"Where is the place? 』

"It is an island nation far east, beyond the sea. …… Rice wine is also like sake originally born in an island with beautiful water. ”

"Is civilization reproduced based on the local environment, just like animals and plants?"

"Or was there a movement to intentionally recreate the civilization? ...... Well, it's an unknown history while I was sleeping in Toyokumo. "

Ballena's voice was dark and regrettable in the past. I change the story so that I don't mind.

"If a civil war is taking place in a production area, do you mean you can't enter? 』

"That's impossible. An alien may be killed just walking on the road. '

"That's not a problem ..."

Armed security might protect your body, but it would be meaningless if you couldn't avoid rubbing. Careless confusion should be avoided. When it comes to rice wine, it's impossible to get people who are familiar with rice wine.

When I say so, the baller grunts, "Umm."

"I don't want to give too much uncertain information ..."

"what? What is there? 』

"According to traders, those who fled the civil war are creating villages on this continent. In the prairie east of Abu Simbel "

"Oh! Are you serious! 』

Onijin: Yes, it's a beast. It seems to say. It ’s a beast who loves sake just because it ’s custom-made. ”

"Hey! That's true! 』

Well, it's unusual for a race to hate sake. Onijin But by the way, it's an unknown beast.

"So where are they? 』

"No, it's ... I don't know where the details are."

"Isn't it unknown? 』

"The rumor is the level"

"What are the rumors? 』

Demon "It's not very good. When caravans and settlements were attacked, the culprit looked like a horned beastman-that is, it resembled that very much. "

"HM……"

This is a rumor we often hear. Behind it is the discrimination against beasts, a trend that was spread by those who perceive them as evil criminals.

In fact, there are some beasts who run for crime, but humans are far more likely in proportion. It's not just that humans are worse, it's simply a matter of population.

Onijin Probably, a member of the attacked caravan mistakenly identified some characteristic of the culprit. Onijin And it spreads in a chain, and it is highly possible that an unlikely bandit was created. Given the turmoil during the raid, it's probably no doubt that line.

But if true-that's awkward.

"It seems that you need to visit the site anyway"

Onijin: Are you going to look for it? 』

"Yes, but the prairies in the east are rich. Despite the fact that many countries are overwhelmed, there should have been no war now, and doing business to expand sales channels will not hurt you? 』

"ah I see"

"There's a possibility that you can get new business tips from that culture."

"Oh, ambitious! 』

"Well done"

I don't hate doing what I can. And it's just right to go this way. I'm looking forward to seeing a new culture in a new land. East prairie? I often hear stories, but what is it?

"By the way, is your job right? 』

"Atari Maedesyo. Nanny Itirundeska. Hahaha

Why is this broken dog broken? The smell is ugly, but now I have no choice but to believe it.

If you're just a crap ... I'll make it!
