Next up...
Tochigi Prefecture's local sake "Tsuji Zenbei" 🍶.
We found this sake at a liquor store in Lake Chuzenji.
It is a little heavy and good for this middle stage of drinking.
The next morning, I went to the hot spring behind the inn because I was told that there was a place where hot water gushed out.
The hot water was like a hell valley, as it is called "Yumoto" in Japanese.
The spring water is drawn directly from here to each inn, so the quality of the spring water was excellent.
There is a nice spot nearby where you can take a footbath, but it's so hot that it's crazy ♨️
It takes 30 minutes to get used to it...
Still, 10 seconds is my limit and my knees are red 🦵.
Don't forget to buy some salted yokan (sweet bean jelly) as a souvenir at the Japanese sweets shop next door...
Hi Hiro 😃.
I see you went to Oku-Nikko 🤗It's close but I haven't been there for a while 😅I didn't know there was such a hot footbath ♨️ 😆Thank you for drinking Tochigi sake 🍶 as well 😊.
Is that Tsuruya's salted yokan?
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
We had a great time in Oku-Nikko!
It was so hot that I thought it might have been a footbath with the spring water still in it. ♨️
I'm not sure if it's the same as the one you're looking for, but I'm sure you'll find it!
It's delicious with just the right amount of saltiness.
It has a refreshing yet moderately full flavor with a good acidity and a nice sharpness.
It also has a moderate sweetness like ice water and a cool lingering aftertaste that is just like a summer sake.

From the supernatant...a slight white grape or green apple type fresh sweet and sourness and umami~. Slightly alu feel.
Sparkling and firmly pithy 🫧.
The next day...even with the oli mixed in, the bitterness is not so great, and the alu-ness felt the first day blends in nicely, becoming thick, milky, sweet and tasty ↪SFAE7↩.
Good evening, Kotori 😃.
Oh..................! Finally 🤗J&N100CI commemorative sake ‼️ I only remember that it's delicious 😅It looks like my memory was right 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🐥Yes ❗️J&N's 100CI anniversary sake 🤗My hometown is near Tsuji-san and I feel safe to buy it anytime 😅I'm glad I could enjoy the difference in taste between the first and second half 😚 Yes ❗️ delicious ❗️🤣

Thank you for giving Tsubu a detailed review: 🙏🏻
Please excuse the duplicate review: 🙇🏻♀️ short...
The toast was Tsuji Zenbei, from the Tochigi sake drinking contest.
It is a sake from Moka city, a neighbor of Utsunomiya. 💁🏻♀️
It has a soft mouthfeel and a nice, clear, high acidity sharpness...
PREMIUM S 1800ml
Ingredients ... Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), Brewer's alcohol
Rice used ... 100% domestic rice
Rice polishing ratio ... 68
Alcohol percentage ... 16
We had it bundled with Urasato Usu Nigori. I was attracted by the concept of cheap and tasty sake. If you try to get rid of the miscellaneous flavors, you lose the umami, and I wondered how it was possible to keep it. I felt that the umami was more pronounced on the second and third days than on the first day.
I wonder if I expected a little too much, but I am curious to know how it is in the local market.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi 😃.
I got Tsuji Zenbei's ‼️ from J&N's 100CI and haven't had it since 😅I'm sure it's delicious 😋 but I'm sorry I didn't give you a proper local review 😓.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 🌞It was a Kiriban sake ^ ^.
I scrolled through looking for a review but couldn't get to it 🤣Masudaya's product description gives it high marks 😀 I'll give it another try 😉.

Two nights ago
A girl's meeting was held on the group line
The next day, when I opened the LINE after work
I want to have a girls' night out!
I can do it tomorrow, but I don't know.
I'm fine... 🙆♀️
I don't know about Tsubu-chan.
I'll make a reservation for the 4 of us for now.
Nobby's making a reservation 😆
😳What a sudden turn of events🤣
I'm working during the day.
I'll be there around 6pm if I head there after work.
I'll be there around 6pm!
I've always wanted to go to a women's group (or a women's history group).
I've always wanted to go 🥹.
The Kansai members seem to be having a lot of fun 😆.
Unexpectedly, Tochigi Women's Group 🤗🎉.
We started the toast with a Tochigi sake comparison!
Tsuji Zenbei Dry Junmai Sake 🥂.
The rich flavor of rice with a crisp acidity
with a crisp acidity.
It was hot and I was thirsty.
I was so thirsty and it went down so smoothly.
I just came home so I'll upload the first cup 😉.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Tochigi
Good morning, Tsubu-chan 😃.
It's great to meet you girls, looks like fun 😊💕.
The speed with which you went from "I want to do this" to "I want to do this" is amazing 😆✨I'm just impressed with your energy 👍.
I hope you had a good time 💕
Good morning, Tsubu-chan 😃.
Tochigi Sake no Wa Joshi Kai that starts suddenly 🍶 is the best 🍶 ☺️
I like the fact that the toast is a dry junmai sake instead of a bubbly one 😁.
I'm looking forward to seeing more posts after this one 😊.
Tsubu-chan Hello ^_^
A girls' night out sounds like a lot of fun✨
It's good to plan in advance and wait for the day to come, but your speed of action is great😊.
Plump, tasty and dry, looks delicious ☺️
Hi, Tsubu 😃
You work so fast from album photos to posting 😊Next time I hope Jayko will join us too!
I'm Nobby 🥰 but 4 hours is not enough time at all 😅Let's get together again 👋
Good morning 🐥Yesterday was a lot of fun 😆 we had a lot to talk about...it was a healing time 🥹I'm looking forward to the upcoming 🍶 event 😉 I would love to join you if time permits 🤭Jayko 🤣
Hello Tsubu-chan (^o^)Tochigi Women's Group is wonderful 😄and the greatness of planning and executing it right away! You are the best 😄Please continue to hold this event regularly!
Tochigi girls, that's good👍.
You are so solid to start with Tochigi sake drinking comparison 🤔.
I think it's necessary to get together with only girls 🤫🙋♂️
We have secret talks 🤫🤭.
Good evening, Tsubu 😃.
Good to have a girl's night out 🤣2 days ago we had an offline meeting on line and then a real one... I guess women still can't stop talking about it 🙄.
Good morning, Wakata 😊.
I really enjoyed the girls' night 😆🎶.
Momentum is important 🤭We were surprised that the girls' night 🥂 would happen 2 days after we talked on line 🤣Yes! We had a great time 🤗
Good morning, Manachie 😊.
Oh! Do you want to join us, Manachie? Actually, both Jayko and Higuuko wanted to join us 🤣Would you like to have a weird girl's night out next to us ☝️🤣?
Good morning, Aladdin 😊
You Tochigi girls have a lot of energy 🤭I was surprised myself 🤣 The sake lineup at the restaurant was mostly dry sake, so I toasted with Tsuji Zenbei, Tochigi's local sake 🥂Sounds a little bitter 😆✌️
Good morning Manta 😊
I had a sudden decision for a girls' night out ‼️ I had to work, and I didn't know what to do, but I could move for something I love 🤣I decided to leave by the last train! I had to work the next day in the morning but it was energizing 😆👍
Thanks Jay & Nobby 😄♪
Nobby you had a lot of fun 😊🎶 not enough time at all 🤣 let's do it again 🙌!
And Jayko! I wish you could have joined us 🤣Next time we'll do it next door? We're going to have some weird members 🤭.
Hello Kotori, ☔️
We had a great time 😆🎶 We talked and talked and talked and we didn't run out of time 🤣.

Hi MAJ, hello ☔️
This time we surprised ourselves ‼️ it was a women's party that was decided on short notice🤣 isn't it great? Tochigi Ladies 😆 I can't imagine anything different when you say ladies 🤔💭.
🤣 We are glad you had a good time😊👍
Hi Noodle Sake King, ☔️
My first girls' night out was fun 😆🎶.
There were 3 old guys sitting next to us, but when the 4 of us ordered sake and they brought us 3 bottles of sake and we took pictures of them 👀 I felt their eyes on me 🤣.
Do you want to come too, Menshuko-chan?
Hi Sashiu, hello ☔️
It was a girls' night out that was decided on short notice🤣I had to go 🤣It was so much fun 😆🎶.
Yes, I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😦! I'd like to do this on a regular basis now ❣️ maybe even suddenly again 🤭😁😁.
Hello, Bousuke-san: ☔️
After all, you can't miss Tochigi sake 😉👍.
