Next up was Sansho 2023 Yamadanishiki.
This is another sparkling sake that can be opened with a number of people.
I brought this one well chilled because I wanted my oldest son and his wife to drink it! 😁.
Beautiful bubbles and a mild mouthfeel.
The eldest son and his wife were very impressed with the taste that they wanted to drink it forever!
I am happy to be able to please them as it is a brand that is not easily available.
It was very delicious! 👍
It's been a long time since I've had Sanso-san.
I think it has more acidity than the last time I drank it, but it has a unique and complex flavor that I like.
It is still delicious.
Tonight, I'm after a workout 🏋️ and I'm going to be a kitchen drunker early 😅 I'm thirsty and wanted to drink something with some schwash stimulation, so I pulled this out 💁♂️
San-do Hozu Gonoho 2023
Special summer edition kawamatsuri ✨
I haven't checked the specs properly, but is kawamatsuri made any differently? The aroma is different from the usual HOMASA, with an Oronamin C type energy drink aroma and the thick lactic acid extract and sweet aroma of undiluted Calpis 🤩 The taste is still gaseous, but it has a clear and refreshing grenfre and lemon citrus flavor that is bitter and spicy. I can feel that it was made to be drinkable on a hot summer day 😀.
This is delicious 😋, but I personally prefer the usual Hozu. (Please forgive my stupid tongue if the brewing hasn't changed at all 🤣)
Refreshingly sour ✨️
Like a grapefruit sour😍.
After a few days, it was sweeter while still having the grapefruit feeling 😍❣️
I like it better after a few days when it's sweeter.
If you drink it with a small tomato as a snack, it will increase the bitterness level and double the flavor 😍.
Now I want to try it with pasta or pizza with sour tomatoes 😋.
Ingredients: Grown in the Kikuchi River basin, Kumamoto Prefecture
Alcohol content 13%.

Our Sake Camp night at Hanazono Jun's.
After drinking our fill of Niigata sake at the Niigata Sake no Jin, we still wanted to drink some out-of-prefecture sake.
On the store's instagram, Jishin arrived a month ago! on the store's instagram a month ago.
If I'm lucky...! I suppressed my bouncing thoughts and asked the waitress if they had any more Jikin. But to his disappointment, he was told "Yes, we have it.
However, she told me that they had some in stock, so I ordered some right away.
(The store's restroom was lined with bottles of rare sake...)
I was curious about this because Tomoko Yamaguchi had posted a video on her YouTube channel of a visit to a sake brewery here (I was happy to see that and learn that Tomoko Yamaguchi likes sake. I really like Rombake and 29 Year Old Christmas).
While we had such rare sake in front of us, our sake camp is coming to an end and my memory is dim. (LOL).
It is low-alcohol, gassy, and refreshing while giving the fullness of Yamada's flavor.
It is a rare sake, but can we put it away as modern among modern?
Also... Can we meet again? (Laughs)
Today is my second daughter's graduation ceremony 🎓.
She will be a junior high school student from April... it's early 😅
In the Chugoku area where I live, there are no stores that carry it and I can't get it... 🥺.
I've never had it and I've always wanted it, but I finally got my wish and got it the other day 😭.
Even though it's obligatory... it's perfect to open on this happy day ❗️
So now it's time to ‼️Sake no Wa Kumamoto Prefecture's top ranking sansho☺️
When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not as strong as I expected? The aroma is not as strong as I thought it would be 🤔...but I can feel the refreshing sourness 🤔.
I took a sip....
........., ‼️
This....feels more like sparkling wine white🍾 than sake🥰.
Just the right amount of lemon🍋 acidity and light sparkling🫧 pizzazz ❗️
This is probably closer to the sourness of Sentori than any other sake I've tasted 😍.
Sentori is a refreshing sake, but Sanchi is a bit more carbonated with a little bit of carbonation 👌👌
I've added it to my favorite brands in a while 🤩... but when is the next one?
I wonder when I can buy it again 😭.
I may have to go to the brewery to buy it at the earliest! LOL!
Oh no...I almost passed out 💧.
Day 2: ❗️
It's been upgraded from schwah to sizzle😱!
This is too good ❤️
Hello, koi gulls 😃!
Congratulations on your second daughter's graduation from elementary school ㊗️ 🎉So at that time, the birthplace is the perfect toast 🥂🤗We were also shocked when we had our first drink 🤩.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
This was at the level where I wanted to make it a regular drink 🍶 instead of a regular medicine 💊 😍.
The perfect collaboration of sourness🍋 and carbonation🫧 was addictive lol.
However, it's hard not to buy it 😂.
It's a classic sansho (^^)
Today is the first Shononozo, but first of all, this label is nice. This is another classic, and the lid flew off with fermentation after opening. As usual, fruity & super slightly carbonated, delicious!

I'm writing this as I recall what I drank before I started posting on Sake-no-wa.
I had a bottle of Hozasu at the Sumiyoshi Sake Shop in Hakata Station and thought it was great, so I bought this one!
Personally, I think I prefer this one to the Hozasu👍.
It was sweet and juicy, like champagne 😊.
We went from "6" to "2" and now "5" is next. 🖐️
Fresh and citrusy ✨
Fresh, crisp and fruity 🍈.
Beautiful transition from sweetness to sourness: 👍️
Easy to drink with a clean aftertaste 😉.
It's like a blessing from the earth 🎵.
It was really delicious 😋.
Rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin
Kimoto brewing
Cultivated without pesticides
No fertilizers
Wooden vat brewing
The bottle is opened vigorously like champagne.
When poured into a glass, it is white and bubbly, with a maximum carbonation.
The taste is moderately sweet and refreshing, and converges with a crisp bitterness.
It is a low alcohol at 13 degrees Celsius, so it is likely to be consumed quickly...
