I've finished up my public and private schedule, which was a bit of a whirlwind during the New Year's holiday, and I'm taking this week and next week off in lieu of work 💦.
I have a three-day weekend next week, so I'm going to pay my annual visit to Kyoto for the first time and take it easy this week by going to the gym and taking a bath to take care of my body 😁.
Now, I'm going to sweat out the New Year's drinking and have a relaxing evening drink at home after a long time 🍶.
Fukkai Yamadanishiki Nama Sake
I was curious about this sake, so I got it 🥰.
When I opened the bottle, I could smell a sweet aroma similar to that of ramune or cider.
[The sake is a gulp of sake.]
The aroma of sweet rice is calm, and the mouthfeel has a slight gaseous feeling, followed by a quiet, mature sweetness, umami, and a long, pleasant aftertaste.
[Mokkiri]
A cool, refreshing rice aroma, a slight gassy sensation at the tip of the tongue, a subtle sweetness and umami that flows into the body smoothly, and a long, refreshing aftertaste that finishes with a mineral sensation that lingers on the tip of the tongue.
[I heard that the hi-seasoned version has more sweetness, so I'm interested in that as well.
The nigori sake that was sold together with it also looks delicious!
The dish was "yellowtail sashimi from Oita" (🐟️), as fish from Kyushu had just arrived!
Yamaoka House (after all these years) 🍜.
Hi Jive 😃Thank you so much for all your hard work over the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day🙇♀️It went by so fast 😅Isn't it super hard gym time to sweat out all the New Year's drinking⁉️ what kind of menu would that be... (lol) but I'm sure the evening drinks will go down a treat 🥰.
Hi Jive 🌞.
I guess in the end it's all about taste, but I'm wondering if freshly pressed rough sake, pressed and settled raw sake, or fire-aged and settled sake. I wonder if each sake is suited for different purposes 🤔.
Hello, Gyve-san.
It's a nice rest after a hard day's work🍀.
I'm sure it's a good time to have a drink after sweating it out 🍶 on such a day. ⤴️
I'm curious about Fukkai, Oita yellowtail sashimi, and Yamaoka family 😊.
Hi Gyve 😃
I'm so glad that you and Nobby are sweating 💦 at the gym on your finally-getting-off day off! I was so impressed 🤗I see it's your first time at Fukkai ㊗️ I'm going to kill you in a blink of an eye even if I want to have a relaxing drink at home 😚.
Hi Gyve 😃
It's neither too late nor too late to visit the Yamaoka family ‼️ naturally without realizing it 🎵
Is it a special miso 🤤 that looks delicious 🤤 ⁉️
And of course, Fukkai too 😆.
Hi, I'm HinaHanaMama.
I do the same amount of cardio at the gym as I usually do, but due to my body type, after an hour of cardio, there are puddles around my feet 🤣.
I always clean up afterwards and do maintenance on the equipment.
Hi, Matsuchiyo!
I think the topic was fire-roasting, so I'd like to try that one too ✨.
I'd like to try that one too ✨I'm a home drinker, so I can try the "assemblage" technique at home, which Jay and Nobby taught me 🤣.
Hello, Manachie-san!
[I looked up the history of Yamaoka-ya and found out that it originated in Ushiku city 😲.
I'm going to focus on the 8-ban Ramen activity along with Yamaoka-ya since there is no Rasho in my hometown 🤣.
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
I'm a big fan of the Nagasaki Sake, and I'd like to enjoy it as much as possible 🤣
It was delicious and had a Nagasaki style of sake similar to "Hiran" ✨.
If you find a Yamaoka near you, please stop by 🍜.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
I'm of a quality that makes me anxious if I don't have a balance between exercise and drinking 😅.
I finally got to drink because my local liquor store started doing business with me after I talked about it on sakewa 😁.
Hello, Mr. Menshuoh ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm wondering which one to go to, since there is a local ramen restaurant [No. 8 Ramen] that is undeniably popular and in a way, goes beyond ramen, but [Yamaokaya] has the advantage of being open 24 hours a day, so I will continue to go there to eat 😋.

Fruity aroma.
The citrus acidity is mixed with a fruity aroma,
The citrusy acidity mixes with the fruity aroma and spreads in the mouth.
It is a chili that stimulates the tongue.
It's a new sake from Fukkai 🍶.
The fire-aged one we had last year was delicious.
The first aroma is a fresh sweet aroma of new sake.
It is slightly carbonated in the mouth.
The taste is moderately sweet with a hint of sourness.
Perhaps it was because the roughness of new sake remained a little, but I felt the sweetness was modest.
I thought it would be interesting if the mild sweetness of the hi-ire sake was combined with the gorgeous aroma and freshness of the nama-zake, but it was not what I expected 😌.
But it was delicious. ✨️
It is easy to drink with a refreshing acidity and sweetness like that of ramune.
The umami taste is also gently expanding and mixes well with the sweetness.
The sharpness is also gentle.

For the record. The waiter accidentally swung the top and bottom of the bottle and there was a loud noise, even though this was sparkling.
It was a very close call, though it didn't overflow because there was only a little left.
It was a good memory that the waiter and I laughed so hard.
When I drank Fukuda before, I didn't like it, but I like this Fukkai. Delicious.
It has a nice, tight, slightly effervescent taste. It has a sweet and umami taste and a nice sharpness, so it goes well with meals. It was delicious with all dishes such as appetizers and motsu nabe (a hot pot of fish and vegetables).
I will buy it again if I see it again.
I thought it was a delicious sake with a fruity taste followed by a slight effervescence and a moderate bitterness and sweetness that made it crisp and easy to drink.
