When I visited Nagasaki City on a trip to Kyushu,
I bought Fukkai, which I was curious about because it had been talked about on YouTube.
I was not able to drink alcohol during my stay in Nagasaki City, so I drank it at home to vent my frustration (lol).
It has a fruity aroma like pineapple 🍍 and a beautiful sweet acidity that finishes with a bitter bitterness.
It is not sharp, well-balanced, and very easy to drink 😊.
I drink it cold, but I got it and had it with a hot set of Tachiikawa Chestnut Manju 🌰.
The day we bought it, there was a lantern festival in the city, so we went together.
Good morning, soumacho 😃.
Fukkai-san got it locally ‼️ It's good to drink at home with a knob to remember your trip 😋.
Lantern festival! I love the bright colors 🤗The real thing looks so powerful!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😄.
I've never seen Fukkai in my hometown, so I was after it ✨.
I haven't been to Lantern in a decade, but the real thing is awesome 😳.
My favorite sake since the Fukuda days: ❣️
When I find Yamada-Nishiki nigori, I can't help but buy it😍.
It's so good 😋😋😋😋😋.
It's good 😋😋.
In my case, if it's too just right for my taste, it's hard to describe the taste.
It's hard for me to verbalize the taste 😆.
I can only say one word 🤣 "Yummmm! One word 🤣.
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki
Alcohol content 14

Rika-san, hello.
Fukkai-san, I've seen you on Sakewa and I'm curious about you🎵.
I'd love to try your sake! I can only say that about sake - I'd love to try it 🤤.
Good morning, Rika 😃.
I understand! I think 😋😋😋 is the best way to describe it 🤗.
Fukkai-san's nigori ‼️ we would be 😋😋! I think it would be 😍ummmmmm 😍😆.
ma-ki-San ❣️Fukkai by all means 😆 not too flashy and glamorous, but just the right amount of fruity and sweet for my taste 😋 and the nigori is a nice touch👍😍I hope you get to meet her🎶🎶.
Jay & Nobby 😆fufufufu surely lol 😆 rather than listing out a bunch of geeky explanations.................................................one word: umami will do. ⤴️😉 In Fukuoka, it's bari umami! 😍In Miyazaki, where I'm from, it's tekge-umeme 😍❣️
With its fresh gasiness and elegant fruity sweetness, this is a sake you will want to drink in a glass of wine.
The accompaniment is a little steamed cloudberries
Pear? A bit like banana or vanilla essence.
Flavors like a fully ripe banana with a hint of banana.
Milky juicy.
Tangy and chemical bitterness.
Taste level 3/5

We went to Ito New York Lamp Museum & Flower Garden in the daytime to see the early blooming 🌷tulips🌷, which were very beautiful.
My wife and I decided to have a drink early and returned the rental car 😅😅.
First time drinking Fukkai in Hirado, Nagasaki. Just one word. It's good 😋, beautiful acidity, fruity aroma, good food and good drink, sometimes we reward ourselves 😊😊.

Hi Mattu 😃
Traveling with drinking 😋 you need a driver 😅.
And you're right to drink early 🤗Fukkai-san is delicious 😋It's a beautiful picture that looks like it could be used for a Fukkai promotional material 🥹.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ‼️
I really felt the need for a driver 🙂.
We also returned our 🚙rental car 🚗 with 4 hours left 😆 I would love to drink Fukkai again ‼️ photo, unusually well taken 😊.
Cool, refreshing aroma of mint and icing sugar.
Slightly gassy on the palate
Subdued and long-lasting flavor.
There is a minerality on the finish.
Serve with sashimi of horse mackerel from Tottori Prefecture.
Yamada Nishiki. It is fruity. A little sweet and a little sharp. The alcohol content is 14 degrees Celsius, which makes it a sake-juice type that can be drunk as much as you want. It has no characteristics, but it is delicious.
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 😋.
