If you are a member of Tochigi Prefecture, you must drink Kirifuri, and I finally bought it at a roadside station during my expedition.
I bought a bottle of Tokujun, which has the aroma and acidity of Sentori itself 😋, but it is more rounded than the usual Sentori.
I haven't had Sentori in about 5 months because I thought I could drink it anytime, but Kirifuri is good too👍.
I'd like to try Junmai Ginjo someday.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Oh! The proof of a Tochigi resident 😆 🤗!
I can feel the local advantage to be able to enjoy this 😌It's really delicious 😋.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I finally got my hands on it😅
I had seen it at a roadside station for a while now, but your story about the members has convinced me 😁.
Today at Taoya Nikko Kirifuri
I chose this sake without much thought.
This was Senkin's local sake!
I didn't know that.
It doesn't have a lot of nama-zake character.
It's very refreshing!
I have another bottle coming up, so I'll have to hold off.
Good evening, Momochi 😃.
I like Taoya Nikko Kirifukuri ‼️ 🤩all drinks are included 🤗I'm jealous 😍!
You'll know Kirifuri is Senkou when you drink it 😄 Enjoy 👋
Still posting about the drinks I had last weekend😅.
After a series of sweet sake from Kinkame to Haneya, let's have a refreshing sake! So, I chose this one, which is a strong friend of us Tochigi people: ‼️
It is very popular among Tochigi residents and guests 🎵So ❗️ Kirifuri Sake🤗.
Last month's first drink was a Daiginjo, and this time it was a Ginjo👍.
Well, here we go🤗!
Yes, I did! It's a great answer 👍It's still delicious with a refreshing sweet and sour taste 😄☺️Senkou is the best 😄!
By the way, Friday morning was Jay's regular checkup, which is every 3 months, but every 6 months he has to have a blood test 😨.
This time, I skipped drinking for 4 days from Monday to Thursday 😤.
Cholesterol and triglycerides are the main points of the blood test results, but Jay is only concerned about the gamma GTP: ‼️
While pretending to listen to the doctor, I followed the test results with my eyes................................nervous!
😰😨😳🙂☺️🤩
Hi ‼️ results okay🤗
Last night I enjoyed the rest of the Haneya and Foggy Fountain and one more bottle 😙.
I'm so relieved 🥰 love Tochigi!
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃Your liver function is drummed, thank you for the checkup 😊This means you can live a wonderful drinking life again with peace of mind 👍I am ashamed to say that I did not know about Foggy Fountain. I would love to meet you 😆💦.
Good evening, J&N 😃.
I see your liver function was ok ✌️
I guess you don't have to have a rest day anymore 😅.
Foggy ‼️ I'll just have to use my precious Tochigi sake here and go buy some at the co-op 😘.
Jay & Nobby Good evening (^o^) and thank you for the routine checkup. I am glad to hear that everything was all right. I think it is really cosy and tasty, isn't it?
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙
Thanks for the checkup 💦and I'm relieved to hear it was good😊Enjoy your break from drinking for a while 😆🎶.
I'd like to try a foggy fall, which I've never seen before!
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃.
Foggy is the best thing you can buy at Yaokoh when it's that good 🤣 local info was sure 😌 glad your test results are good 😊 drink as much as you want for a while 😁.
Hi Wakata 😃.
I'm not diagnosed with liver function 😅I'm happy that the most important point is good 🤗Kirifuri is a local sake from Senkou and it's really good 😋 please wake me up 😊.
Hi 3KAN4ON 😃
I was happy to see good results ☺️ Well, the rest day is to give a break to my drinking life 😅Tochigi there are so many drinks, it's hard to decide 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I'm so relieved to see your test results and drink alcohol again 😀.
I also have to have a blood test once every 6 months for my job, but I'm nervous because I can't work if the results are bad😅.
This is my first time to see this Senkin!
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
I'm glad to hear that ☺️ I was scared 😱 that I would not be able to drink until I saw the results 😅 I was terrified that I would not be able to drink ⁉️
This is Sentori's local sake! Please come visit us 🤗
Hi Jay & Nobby😄!
I'm glad your test results are good 🤗you can have your evening drink in peace 😁.
I'm sure that the Tochigi-Kenmin-Kai has sent out the word about Foggy Fountain and it has become quite well known 😆 ♫ I'd be happy if you all could have a drink 🤗.
Spoils of War from last month's Tochigi Prefects' Meeting - ⤴️🍶
Sake by Sentori, just for Tochigi residents ✨🍶❕.
Again, I got it at Yaoko in front of the station.
Refreshing, clean, fruity🌸🍶✨.
Sweet 🐴, slightly sour and oicy ❕.
Mmm, honey lemon for adults🍯🐝🍋❗️
I wish our neighborhood was in Tochigi prefecture ⤴️😆
I'm enjoying it very much.
Kirifuri Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Genshu
KazKaz-san told us about it at the Tochigi Kenmin Kai.
I was told about it by KazKaz at the Tochigi citizens meeting 😆.
It is sold at Yaoko, a regular supermarket
It's sold at Yaoko 😊.
But...
Sentori mark on the label and cap 👀.
Yes...
It's made by SENKIN Co.
It's Yamada Nishiki, so I guess it's a modern innocent 🙄.
But the rice polishing ratio is
Modern Mukun is 60% Kirifuri 50%.
It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness like SENKIN
It is very delicious 😋.
It is also easy on the wallet... 😌.
Sashu-san's recommended dumplings 🥟.
The first harvest of broccoli from the field 🥦.
Saikyo pickled gindara cod 🐟.
thick fried tofu
Black soybean edamame🫛.
with...
I was manacled in no time 🤣.
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
We've finally opened the foggy weather 🎵.
Sake for Tochigi people by Sentori 🍶‼️
It tastes almost like Sentori 😆.
Please come back to Utsunomiya to purchase some more(^-^)/
Good morning, KazKaz 😃.
The local people's information is never wrong 🤣I think Sentori is the quintessential sake maker for Tochigi people 😌You have to go to Utsunomiya to buy it... 🙄🤣.
Hi Rafa😄
Oh you drank Foggy Fowl 🥰 for Tochigi prefecture ❣️
It's good with dumplings🥟 and 🥦😋👍
Please come to Tochigi again 🤗.
I didn't drink it yet because I can get it anytime 🤣.
Hello Haruei Chichi 😃
Are you already thinking about planning the next prefect meeting 😳⁉️ next time we go together... 😆 please schedule it to coincide with my return 🤣.
Hi Tsubu 😃
You haven't drunk Kirifuri yet 😳⁉️ how is that for a resident of Tochigi prefecture... 😁I can get it anytime I want 😆I also drank the autumn deer cup 🦌 for the first time since I got home... 😅
Rafa papa, Foggy Fog is delicious, isn't it? I was very impressed by the cost-effectiveness of this dish (^o^), and I am glad that you said the gyoza was delicious. Gyoza and sake go well together, don't they?
Good evening, Mr. Sashu 😃.
As recommended by Mr. Sashiu, the gravy was juicy and very tasty 🦌🤣Kirifuri is a sake that can be easily paired with any meal 😋.
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
The line up of kirifuri at Yaokoh is spectacular 😊 but we bought our first one the other day on the recommendation of Mr. Alanin, who is also a passionate speaker at the prefectural meeting 😅.
It's delicious 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I'm jealous of the regular line at Yaoko 😆 It looks like it was Beta Alanin who started the whole thing 😁 It's great to hear some unique local information: ☺️
It started with a conversation about a sake-loving daughter (in her 20s) at a friend's workplace.
After some discussion, we decided to hold the event at our house.
Since it was a special opportunity, I asked Kazkaz and Sashu to join us. OK!
There were 8 of us, but my wife was cooking, so there were actually 7 of us.
The first bottle was Kirifuri, a gift from Mr. Kazkaz. It is said to be a distributed version of Sentori in Tochigi Prefecture, and naturally, the taste is just like Sentori! The balance of sweetness and sourness with a little bit of gas, and the crispness of the aftertaste....
It's so good!
It is available at a local supermarket at a reasonable price.
Thanks for the treat!
Good evening Colonel Lal 😃.
I saw your post on Sashiu's post and it is a wonderful hospitality party 🥹.
Tochigi souvenirs from Kirifuri-san ‼️ are delicious 😋.
What a pleasure to have Tochigi sake as the top batter 🤗.
Colonel Lal Good evening (^o^) and thank you so much for your help. It was fun. And the Sentori Kirifuki was really delicious. It is the best as a starting sake.
Colonel Lal, good evening 🌇.
I also found out from Sashiu's post that you can invite that many people because you have a spacious house and a wife who is a great cook 😊.
I am so envious of you👍
J&N, good evening 😁.
My wife thought of all the dishes and handmade them for me ✌️ Thanks seriously as always 🤗
The foggy rain is delicious 😋kazkaz thanks to you 🤘.
Hi Chichi, good evening 😁.
No, it's a remodeled apartment of the original structure, so it's almost a living room house 😅.
To be honest, less than 10 people is not even a big group 🤯, but I think my wife must be quite tired after cooking 🤘.
Yesterday, I was invited by Colonel Lal to a sake party. Eight of us drank at Colonel Lal's home. I was nervous because many of us had never met each other before, but I was relieved to see KazKaz there.
The first thing that surprised me was the menu (^o^). And all the dishes were really delicious. I really appreciate Colonel Lal's wife.
First of all, KazKaz brought his own Kirifuri (^o^)I forgot to take a picture of it, so I used the one I bought. The aroma is light citrusy. When I drank it, I felt sweetness and slight carbonation. Then it has a sourness and balance that is typical of Sengoku. It was great as a starting sake (^o^). It went well with Iburi gakko (pickled ginger), and it was perfect with muscat salad. This acidity and muscat. I was impressed because I had never paired it with fruits before. I was impressed because I had never paired it with fruit before.
Haruei Chichi-san Good evening (^o^) It was really a wonderful party. And I was really surprised at the menu. I really felt it was wonderful to talk with sake lovers.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu😄.
Sake party at Colonel Lal's house 🍶 awesome 〰︎‼️
The menu really looks like a ryotei ✨🫢.
It's a great party with lots of sake and food pairings 😆🙌Cheers 🥂and foggy 🥰👍
★4.5
Senkin's local brand
It remains fruity and fresh while being fire-aged.
It has a nutty and savory nuance.
I think I like it better than the SENKIN line.
After visiting liquor stores and supermarkets in Nasushiobara city, we were able to obtain the best soon-to-be bottled after our fourth visit.
The fruity ginjo aroma and the fresh aroma of lactic acid and green grass foretell of a sweet and sour taste. The sweetness in the first sip is refreshingly light and pleasant. Compared to Sentori, this sake gives the impression of a well-balanced all-purpose sake, and is very tasty.
We had a great time talking about how you should buy this ‼️ at the last prefectures meeting 🤗.
KazKaz and Sashu bought it right away and brought it back to Tohoku 😁.
As for us locals, we can't just say that it's always available 😤 We went shopping at Super Yaoko!
As you can see in the third picture, there were many bottles lined up, but this time we decided to go for Daiginjo Nama-zake 🤗.
Let's have it 😋!
The aroma is mild? Not very distinctive, I guess.
And when I took a sip... nn⁉️ it's SENKOUSHI 😳.
No, it's SENKYO 😅The acidity that stands out may be stronger than SENKYO 🤔After all, we both agreed that it's delicious 🤗.
This is far beyond the level of sake you can buy at the supermarket👍.
Jay went to his parents' house in Chiba for the weekend and Nobby stayed at his father's house 😊Noby seems to have been a noobie 🤣.
On Sake Day, J&N dared to dopple the local Kirifuri ‼️
Love Tochigi 🥰 even on Sake Day!
Foggy fall! It sounds so nostalgic. My now wife and I used to go to a ranch in Kirifuri Kogen when we were students 🐮Tochigi love ❤️ I would love to drink it if I find it 😊.
Jay & Nobby Good evening (^o^) I see you bought a bottle of frostbite. You really think "It's Sentori" the moment you drink it, don't you? It's great and cosy.(^o^)Local sake on Sake Day. It may be the original form of sake.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
Love Tochigi properly on this day 🥰 great ✨and it's so nice to be able to buy such a delicious drink at the supermarket 😳‼️ really nice 😆💕.
Jay & Nobby Good evening. I remember getting Junmai Ginjo a few years ago from a hometown tax payment. I see it is sold at Yaoko. Come to think of it, our local brand of Igarashi is sold at Yaoko. So it is a local brand.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I envy you... you are blessed to be able to buy the Sentori range at your local supermarket 😀.
I finally found a store where I can go to buy Sentori, but it's far away 😅.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I've always wanted to try Kirifuri because it was so good 😋I'm jealous that you can buy it raw at the supermarket 😳I think Kirifuri is more local than Sentori, I love Tochigi so much 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
For some reason, Kirifuri is available at my local co-op: ✌️
I'm curious, but I don't have the courage to spend one of my precious slots in Tochigi on this sake 😅.
Hi Seigo 😃
I also visited Kirifuri Kogen on a family trip when I lived in Chiba and it left a great impression on me 🥹This Kirifuri is one you should taste now 🤗If you come to Tochigi, please visit us at ‼️
Hi Pon 😃
We too might not have bought it if we didn't hear the information about the Prefectural Association 😅I raised it on this day with Tochigi love 🥰 appeal because we are so happy to hear it!
Hi Yasbay 😃.
In my hometown, if the timing is right, sometimes you can see a swarm of red dragonflies or a procession of snowmen ⛄️ 🤗Please come and visit us for sightseeing!
Hi bouken 😃
It's true that it gives a stronger local flavor 🤗This was my first Kirifuri and it was delicious 😋I'll try the fire-brewed one next time! Please come visit us in Utsunomiya to try our draft 👋
Good evening to you too, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I knew you would love Tochigi on Sake Day 😆.
I've never tried "SENKYO" Junmai Daiginjo before, but I'd like to experience the SENKYO feeling that can be felt in one sip 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Jaive 😃.
When I came home from my parents' house, Nobby asked me what I wanted to drink since it was Sake Day. Nobby asked me what I would like to drink since it's Sake Day 🤗.
I hope you will try this one👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆.
I've never seen this one before and didn't know about it in the first place...
Local sake on Sake Day, there's so much in between...
Love Tochigi on Sake Day too ❤️
👍👍👍
Good morning, Chichi 😃!
Senkyu's local sake like ☺️ is a delicious and cost-effective one 👍Chici you are already full of Tochigi love 😆 Please try it next time you come to Tochigi 👋.
Jay & Nobby, I'm impressed that you remember that kind of information even when you are drunk.(^o^) I look forward to working with you again at the prefectural meeting. m(_ _)m
Hi Jay & Nobii😄!
You are drinking Foggy Fountain 😆👏👏They are so commonly available in the supermarkets that I just end up drinking it anytime 😝It's hard to choose from among them 🤔I have to drink it too 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby! I'm so glad to see you here 😄
I saw them at the roadside station when I went to Kinugawa Onsen, but I forgot to buy them! 😱I knew it was delicious...I should have bought it! 😂
We had it at the guest house Ichinoya.
The taste was refreshingly light and sweet.
It was a perfect match with the char-grilled wild bird meat.
We also had a bottle of homemade doburoku.
The doburoku is a month-old brew and has a refreshing taste with a mellow aroma of rice.
Tonight's second bottle 🍶.
Spoils of the Tochigi expedition: ‼️
Refreshing, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨.
Slightly sour and oicy ❕.
Almost like a Sentori 😊.
You can only buy it in Tochigi prefecture 🎵.
I enjoy it very much.
KazKaz Hello(^o^), I see your trophies from the other day😄They are delicious, just like Sengoku. I haven't had the special junmai yet, so I'm looking forward to it now.
Good evening, J&N 🌙😃❗️
Kirifuri, please try it ‼️
It's sake brewed for Tochigi Kenmin by a sake brewery that is the pride of Tochigi Kenmin 😆.
The ultimate Tochigi love 🥰 is here 🎵
The other day, on the 9th, I participated in the Tohoku and Tochigi Prefectural Meeting with Haruei Chichi. I felt the warmth of the people of Sake-no-Wa again, and even those who were new to the group were able to blend in immediately because of the common topic of sake. It was a very happy time. I will leave the review of the day's sake to you (laugh). The diploma text said that there is a wide variety of sake, including dry, sake yeast, sweet and sour, etc. (^o^)
So I had a sake from Tochigi to soak up the afterglow. I thought about the next day's work, so I had this (^o^)Senkou's Kirifuki. I bought it because I heard it was only sold in Tochigi, my hometown. It was sold at a supermarket.
The aroma is like melon.(^o^)Very fruity. When I drank it, it had a strong muscat flavor, and it also had a nice sharpness with a strong sourness and bitterness, which is typical of Senkyoku. It seems that such a fruity sake would make you get tired of drinking it, but this is not the case with this sake. Like the Akakame that I bought in Nagano, this sake is made so that local people can buy it anytime and always have it on hand. And the cost performance is great.
It tastes different when you go there and breathe the air before drinking it.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu 😃.
You can post up your offline meeting 😆 and we, who breathe the air of the area, have actually never had a foggy day 🥲 we still don't have enough love🥰 for Tochigi 😅.
KazKaz Good evening(^o^)Thank you very much for your help. m(_ _)mI bought 350 first. I have purchased others......but I will continue my Tochigi love for a little while!
Jay & Nobby Good evening (^o^) Well, I guess I'll raise it 😄. It's a local standard and you can get it anytime. I haven't had the local limited edition sake either 😅This one was delicious.
Good morning, Sashu-san 🥰☀️We see you bought ❣️ right away 😆👍I've heard that Kirifuri is delicious, but actually I haven't had it yet 😅Lately, my love for Nagano has surpassed my love for Tochigi 🤣but I haven't forgotten my love for Tochigi 🥰.
Hello Tsubu-chan (^o^)Shimotsukuri Cosy and tasty. I think it is calmer than Senkou and perfect as a regular sake 😄 Again, the trip deepened my love for Tochigi 🥰.
Haruei Chichi-san Good evening 😄Thank you very much for your time as well m(_ _)mIt was a lot of fun! Next time we will definitely go to Fukushima or Miyagi.
Kirifuri, special Junmai Namae, for the first time in a year. Yum~!
The aroma of caproic acid, or perhaps the aroma of caproic acid, has a slight aroma of muscat and an acidity that is addictive!
I like this year's very much!
