At the brewery's store. Oh no! Really delicious✨
The balance of spiciness, umami, and sweetness is perfect.
I can't stop drinking it...
Next time, I'll buy two bottles!
Continuing with the birthday party, my wife's father-in-law gave me a bottle of "Sawanoi" 🍶.
It's a local sake from Tokyo,
This was my first taste of Tokyo sake 😍.
The aroma is a little fruity and modern.
It was easy to drink and easy to enjoy 😋.
I was kinda getting a taste of it at the end of the party 😅...
I was thinking 😅 it's probably an expensive sake 😅 but I enjoyed it (I wouldn't be able to buy it myself 😅).
We finished our 4-day/3-night eastbound trip like this and headed back home 🚄It was the second half of GW.
I have had it before. The taste is so clean and refreshing (in my opinion) that you would not believe the rice polishing ratio, and I think I like it next to Sawanoi's Souten.... It is addictive.
Sawanoi's cool sake. What a beautiful bottle color. The sweet aroma is slightly refreshing, like rummy. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sourness...how can I say this, the freshness is already amino vital. It's not really, but the sweetness and acidity are so exquisite that it feels like the perfect way to rehydrate after a run.
Sawanoi's standard Junmai Dai-harakuchi, its nama-shu. I didn't know such a thing existed. I had never heard of it before. The aroma of the top shelf has a twangy, alcoholic flavor. Wow, it brings a richness to my poor heart. It's very spicy...and fresh, with a little acidity...it's an eye-opening taste. No, this is already a beauty.
An early summer sake 🎐Mrs.
It is a light and dry sake with a slightly sweet aroma. It has a slightly sweet aroma and is light and dry, but still easy to drink because it is 13 💖.
Today, I grilled some hokke and a little chicken with yuzu kosho. I grilled some abura-age (deep-fried tofu) with shirasu (baby sardines) salad and leek miso paste 👍.
The saltiness really goes well with the light and dry taste‼️It also seems to tighten up the fat from the aburage and chicken ✨Delicious😋Thanks for the souvenirs❤️
Sake impressions by itself are the responsibility of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Pekho-san😄
It's already summer sake 🙂 ☺️ Sake season comes more than one foot faster than the other 👌I think grilled fish and light dry sake would go well together in my head 👌❗️ but I'm still confident that I can drink it well with my tongue 😱.
Good evening, Pekho-san 🦉.
The seasons really change quickly in the sake area 😳But there have been many hot days lately, so it would be nice to have both spring and summer 🌿.
Your dish is also salty and refreshing, which reminds me of early summer 🌿.
Good morning, Mr. Peckho ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
This year's GW is forecasted to be in the middle of summer, so you may feel grateful for summer sake 🌞💦.
[I can't wait to try this dish, and I'm wondering if I should incorporate it into today's dinner 🥰.
I'm looking forward to a fun and exciting holiday drinking experience! I'm excited😊Sawa Oto is dry, but it's low alcohol, so it's refreshing and sharp! I'm sure there are many dry sake in both Saitama and Tokyo, but please try this one 😘.
Ponchan😍You're right, it's early! I was at a liquor store the other day and overheard a wholesale sales rep and the store owner talking about how the summer sake campaign is already intensifying. The new sake seems to be coming out early, too much ahead of schedule~‼️ I hope it will come slowly~!
Jive 😍Oage, by all means 🩷"Tochio Aburage" is also highly recommended ‼️Today, it was forecast to be sunny and we started to grill on the balcony, but then suddenly it started raining! I looked at the rain cloud radar and saw rain clouds only over our city...tomorrow we'll have our revenge again with summer sake. ‼️
Jay & Nobby 😍GW sounds like fun and busy ‼️ holiday is perfect for couple sake activities 💖I thought it was Tochigi love but it was "Tochio Aburage" from Niigata 💦 but it was very tasty so I highly recommend it 🥰.
Overall 8 (out of 10)
It's a gift 🍶 (thank you)

It is a junmai nama-zake with the delicious flavor of rice spreading freshly in the mouth.

It's delicious ❣️😋
Is it a summer sake 🧐?
Light, light and dry 👍.
And since it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees
I think it would be great with a barbecue in the summer outdoors.
That's what I imagine.
We served it chilled.
Pairing impressions were made by Mr. Pekho!
My personal impression

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I see that today is already summer sake 🍶! We still have a lot of spring sake in our house 🤣I've never had Sawanoi, but my image is that it's a smooth and clean sake. Dry 😅.
Good morning, shinsaku3!
I'm sure you'll miss this refreshing drink when the weather suddenly gets hotter 🥰.
I was curious about your dish, but I'd like to try it simply with [chilled tofu] ✨.
Hi Shisaku3 😃
It's true! It's a cool label 😋 that makes me want to drink it while BBQ🍖ing in the clear streams of Okutama 🎐13 degrees light dryness looks good for the coming season👍.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Sarasara beautiful ❗️ is just like that 😃.
It's not too dry and not too strong, it's like sake without the sweetness 😃.
We have more spring sake at home too 😅
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
There is a BBQ place and an open garden along the Tama River across from the sake brewery.
Of course they sell Sawanoi sake so you can have a sake BBQ👍.
