We had a late lunch today, so we had a late dinner.
I drank all the sake I had, but I thought I'd like to drink some more.
In such a case, this is the one!
So, this is the first brewery we're having tonight. Kaika by Daiichi Shuzo!
This time, it's NOODLE SAKE - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter -!
After reading Tochigi Ai Dentist's post, I decided to have a one-cup of Tochigi sake today.
So, let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. It seems to have a refreshing aroma?
When you put it in your mouth, the fresh sweetness to the cleanness of the mouthfeel stands out!
It is very refreshing with a slight spiciness.
You can also taste the umami.
The lingering aftertaste is also slightly bitter and well-balanced, making the sake very easy to drink.
It was a good sake time today too!
Good evening, ma-ki-san ^_^
Some kind of sake that I have to drink ✨
I wonder if there is ramen soup or broth in the sake 🤣.
Please put your own love of ramen on the Tochigi love evangelist 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃Kaika, I'm new to you, but I'm kind of curious about the packaging of your one-cups 😆 It tickles my fancy as a one-cup collector ❤️
Hi ma-ki-😃
Interesting one-cup cup! I've never seen it before 😆I'd like to collect them👍Tochigi has a lot of different kinds of sake ❣️ I hope they release a one-cup supervised by Tochigi love evangelist 🤣.
Good morning, ma-ki-🌞This is another glossy one-cup. ✨️I've been trying to find one-cups because of ma-ki-'s influence, but I can't seem to find a good one 😅.
Thanks for your comment, Wakata!
It was my first time to try Kaika too, but the packaging caught my attention 😁✨.
Oh my, you've sparked my collector's spirit 🎵.
Please add it to your collection if you get a chance 😋.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
It's fun to see all the different kinds of one-cup drinks 🎵.
There are also a lot of different kinds of sake from Tochigi prefecture ⤴️ I still have a lot of things I want to drink 😋.
Preacher supervision - sounds like fun 😊.
Thanks for the comment Nao888!
It's an interesting looking one-cup 🎵
Nao888 you also said you care about small amounts of alcohol 😁✨.
Let us know if you find a good one 😊.
Hi ma-ki-😃
I'll drink it! I'm going to drink Tochigi sake from ‼️ 😅Congratulations on your first one-cup Kaikka from ㊗️ 🎉!
I think I'll team up with Manta and start up a 🍜+🍶 collaboration project 😆.
Thank you for your comment, Hiro!
It's an interesting pattern that you can recognize as ramen at a glance 🎵.
The one-cup cups have a cute form and look great when lined up in a row ✨.
Yes, it's true. It's a junmai ginjo, after all 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments!
You are still in Jin mode 😁✨✨.
The collaboration project between Manta-san and Preacher-sama sounds like fun 🎵!
Tochigi Prefecture is also full of delicious sake 😋.
Hi ma-ki-🐦.
This is cute ❣️ I would buy it if I saw it 😁.
It looks like a collaboration project between a sake brewery in Sano and ramen girls! It really seems to go well with ramen, I'll try it when I find it 🍜🍶...
Thanks for your comment, Pon!
I saw it at the liquor store and got it as soon as I could 😁✨✨.
I see 😲It's such a great collaboration and goes well with ramen too ⤴️
I'll try it with ramen next time 😋.
The last one is Kaikka on the far right!
I kind of chose it on a hunch, but it was very tasty 😊.
I think it might have been the best among the three 😄.
I was very satisfied with Utsunomiya and had a lot of gyoza (dumplings)!
It has a fruity aroma like a pear, sweetness and umami like a rice-derived Kamishinko, acidity, and bitterness, and finishes with a nice crispness! It can be served chilled as it is, or as a mid-meal sake!
The medium-hard water from the Akiyama River, a first-class river in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan. The symbol mark embodies the use of this good water and its sublimation into a gorgeous sake. The multiple layers of ripples weave together to form a single flower. This flower on the label is also available in silver and gold, but blue is for summer sake. It fits perfectly with the current hot weather.

I tried it to match the season of cherry blossoms.
It has a gorgeous aroma and moderate acidity. It was delicious and refreshing.
