One step self today. Sake from Fukushima Prefecture.
I have been wanting to try this sake, so I was lucky that a store relatively close to my house started selling it.
This store basically focuses on local sake, but they also sell purple air and they are doing a good job. Sometimes they give me sweets too 😃.
Today I bought a bottle of Ippodo's Secret Color and Junmai Nama.
Your impression of the secret color? Well, in a word, it's kuso delicious.
I'll say it again because it's important.
It tastes soooo good. ❗️
This is how it is today✋.
Clear, sweet and fruity aroma ☺️💐
Slight bitterness and gasiness on the palate with a clear mouthfeel, balanced with sweetness and umami 😆😋.
Thank goodness this is not hard to find 😂🌷Too good ❣️❣️
Today, Ibuki Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake from Ibuki, Fukushima: ❗️
The aroma is fruity and sweet❗️ and when you take a sip, there is a mild texture on the tongue followed by a tingling sensation. Then, a sharp bitterness is felt❗️ and the fruity sweet aroma leaves the nose❗️720ml can be drunk in one day❗️Good sake⭕️
Last year, I saw Ippo Sake at Sake no Wa and everyone said it was delicious ❗I finally bought it because it was sold in the next town ✨There are jungin and junmai sake and I will try the junmai sake first 🎵It has a refreshing taste like Fukushima sake and the rice flavor 🎵It is also easy to drink and I drank it in no time at all 🎵
We had it on a night when the kids had a field day and the adults really got involved (and injured) ✨.
Gorgeous fresh aroma🍏, juicy but mild sweetness, and a clean aftertaste that you can drink forever🥰.
That's why I emptied another 4 bottles and can't remember the taste properly 😓I'm going to buy another bottle! 😁
Good evening, Mamio. Oh, new sake opening! It's still a delicious one step self, very easy to evaporate 🤣I see that the field day is held after it gets quite cold, good job 🏃♀️➡️
Hi Hirupeko, 😊 one step self is still evaporating 🤣 October and November we have camps and bazaars and our field day is in December 🏃♀ but I still sweated so I'm glad it's winter lol. And we can drink new sake at the launch 😁.
Good evening, Mamio 😃.
Even adults can get serious about sports day😄The faster you used to be, the more likely you are to get hurt😅I was all about watching & drinking 😆Half of it evaporates the moment you open it, Ippo Mio 😋It has to be a bottle 🤗.
Jay & Nobby, good evening ⭐I really enjoyed the field day 💕The gap between the movements I imagine and the weight of my body now is terrible 😅I will still buy my one step self in a bottle from now on because it evaporates so much 😁.
Before that day, I had a little drink after work. This is the third time I've been to this restaurant, which I've recently started visiting. I found this sake on the second shelf of the fridge. It has been a while since I had a saké. It is sweet, gorgeous, and has a mild aftertaste. It is delicious.
Mild green apple type and acidic aroma 🍏.
Mild and well-balanced sweetness and umami on the palate, and a little later a good acidity rounds it all out 😆😆.
Absolutely perfect as a food sake ❗️ but also super tasty as is 🍶😋💐💐.
We held a chuin offline meeting with Hirupeko and Sashi to celebrate the passing of SAKE DIPLOMA: ㊗️
Here is what Hirupeko-san took out of her bag 🍶.
Mamio-san presented this to Hirupeko-san.
Thanks to the sake connection, we were able to enjoy this precious sake with you. ☺️
Thank you Hirupeko-san and Mamio-san 🙇.
The appearance is clear crystal, almost transparent.
The aroma is gentle, mild and elegant.
It is calm and fruity, like the sweetness of ripe banana with pear and melon.
The rice feel is clean with about the same level of top-fruitiness.
Soft on the palate.
The soft sweetness spreads softly with a sultry, smooth acidity.
When you close your eyes, you can feel the elegant sweetness in the aroma, and the sweetness and sourness disappear in a flash while giving a beautiful umami taste.
The lingering aftertaste is gentle and clean with no bitterness.
It has a moderately modern aroma and taste with just the right lightness.
Very delicious 🍶.
If this sake is the hidden potential of Ippo Mi-narashi, I wanted to know Ippo Mi-narashi as well: ☺️
I would like to continue to pursue the path of sake, one step at a time, facing myself, without haste and without relaxation.
Aladdin, congratulations again on your success🎊I am honored to toast with you one step at a time 😆🥂D I am a clunky DIPLOMA who cannot express my perfect taste at all like Aladdin, but I will try my best one step at a time😊.
Good morning, Aladdin 🐥.
I didn't know you were having an offline party 😳It was a wonderful celebration with drinks from Mamio ✨🎉.
I haven't tasted Ippo Myself but it sounds like it tastes like this label 😊.
Hirupeko, it was an honor for me too!
I'm sorry I couldn't attend the year-end party with you, but I realized that the sake bond is connected in many ways 🍶.
Sensory evaluations are very different and I think they are all correct, so I will keep believing in myself and be diligent: ☺️
Hi Pon 😃
It's not an offline meeting but just a casual drinking 😅.
I thought I was a regular at the restaurant, but it turned out to be a friend of Hirupeko's, and we had a lot of unexpected developments, and we had a great time talking about sake 😊.
I want to drink at home 🍶.
Aladdin, good evening ⭐I'm glad to unexpectedly see your one-step-self review as well 🎶I'd like to drink again 🥰I'm from the area, so please let me know if you need any Kiritsukiwa or other drinks 😁.
Hi Aladdin 😃
Ippo Mio-san adds a touch of class to the saké drinking celebration 🥳! I also love that you share Mamio's gift 🍶 with your saké friends 🥹The review made me want to drink it and my desire to buy it increased again 🤗.
Mamio, thank you so much for your time 😊.
Thanks to you, even I had a good time 🍶☺️ and it was my first time at Ippouki 😄.
I am looking forward to the new sake season for both Ippouki and Kirizukuba 😊.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I'm not able to attend offline meetings these days, but I realized that sake connections can be made in many ways: ☺️
It's more modern and sweet but just right, so I recommend it to J&N 🍶.
This time it is Ippouki's secret color.
It has been a long time since Ippouki's newest product using Fukunoka.
I was lamenting over the fact that it sold out so quickly, but Mamio-san came to my rescue and delivered it to me in a blink of an eye,
Mamio-san came to the rescue and delivered it to us in a blink of an eye.
Ippeppo Ambassadors work fast, too fast 💨🙀.
I had to make a toast with Mr. Aladdin who called me.
It is served at room temperature.
It has a slight greenish flavor.
The top aroma is gently sweet apple and green bamboo.
The soft mouthfeel has an apple-like fruitiness with a smoky aroma. The soft umami of rice is silky and mingles with it. The aftertaste is crisp and clean with a sourness and bitterness that grows as it does.
It tastes like a gentle Japanese white wine.
It is a secret color that shows us a different aspect from the usual Ippou-self.
A secret color that shows a different side to the usual Ippo Mi.
I look forward to the next development 😊.
If it weren't for the sake
I wouldn't have been able to get the secret color.
Thanks to Sake-no-Wawa, where I can meet friends who are full of love for sake!
And also,
Mamio, thank you so much 🙏!
I'm so glad to see your review 💕I'm so excited for you to try our newest one 😆.
This one is unusual for Ippouki, but I liked it because it still has its own character. I'm anxious to see what's next 🎶.
Good evening, Mamio-san. Thank you very much for your prompt attention 😭😭😭The beauty of the label with its secret color makes me sigh ✨I can feel Mamio's love for one step more deeply than anything else, which makes the sake even more delicious 😊.
Good evening, Hirupeco 😃
Thank you so much for having me join you, Hirupeko-san and Mamio-san 😊.
I enjoyed my first Ippouki 🍶 with a great sake connection ☺️
Ippoumi is now a sake to check out 😊.
Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Through a bottle of sake, we can share its deliciousness with each other 😚It's really a wonderful cooperation of sake 🥹We also get a different Japanese style white wine style Ippoumi-san ‼️ we also get 🤗
Good morning, Aladdin! It's good to see you too! It was a pleasure to have you enjoy a step yourself with me 😊It was interesting to have a chuin drink with the same deep crowd of people as always 😆Thank you!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! Thanks to everyone at Sake-no-wa, we are able to share the taste and enjoyment of sake with each other so much! Thank you very much for your heartwarming comments, Jay & Nobby, the first of them 😻.
Good morning, Peco 🐥.
I'm surprised and impressed by your quick connection with Mamio 🥹and Aladdin, and the nice circle of drinking together ✨and I'm glad you were able to drink this drink 😊.
Hi, Pon-chan. Thank you very much, Pon-chan! But still, super fast response and you're just in time for Aladdin's drink, the drinking gods are here too 😆 🙏.
