Next is a bottle that was in the cellar and the label was one color (nothing written?) from a distance. I was curious about this one!
I asked what it was, and it turned out to be a summer sake from Toyokuni.
But I couldn't see the label clearly, so I searched and found a surprise 😲(I tried the second one 🤣).
Now for the taste...
The young staff at the store poured out only the top clear liquid without noticing the "oriki", so I decided to take that part of it without hesitation.
I guess the moderate sweetness, juiciness, and lightness of the sake is exactly what summer sake is supposed to be like⁉.
I would like to drink it again with ori too next time.
Good morning, N.E. ☀️
The starry sky on the label is so beautiful 😆✨.
Too bad you could only drink the supernatant 🥲I'll have to get my revenge sometime 😉.
Oh my ❗️300 check in ❣️ congratulations ㊗️🎉🎊
It's nice to meet you, Tsubu-chan (please excuse my leaving out Ms. Tsubu-chan).
I would like to drink the top and go full next time, but I'm tired of walking outside, which I'm not used to, and I'm reluctant to stop (^^;).
I am very grateful for the inspiration of all 300 Tochigi Ai🥰ers 🤣.
Good evening Masaaki and thank you for your ministry 😆.
I regret that I didn't drink another cup of Toyokuni with cucumber on the spot 😭.
So I will buy it this weekend, I found a store that has it now but I hope they have it until then 🙏.
N.E., congratulations on your belated 300 check-in 🎉🎉🎉!
Nice label on the drink ✨and interesting trick 🎶I'm curious if you bought and drank it afterwards 😊.
Thank you, Pon-chan 😆.
I noticed the 300ci after you mentioned it to me, Tsubu-chan (^^;)
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see the sake again yet 😭.
I was told that this label is actually a trick to see the beauty from the back when you drink up 🤭.
Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake.
It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator.
It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake.
The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way).
At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor.
The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake.
Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.
With cucumber with ume plum paste. 😄
Sorry, not sake. Sorry 😫.
Daiginjo brewed plum wine, drank with my wife.
Made with Takada ume, dark sweetness. 😍😍
It also has the refinement of Daiginjo brewing,
It is very easy to drink.
As last year, there are a lot of chocolates. 😓.
I have to be careful about the blood sugar level,
I'm going to try it with sake and other things.
I'll try it with sake and other things. ☹️Thank you for everything, my wife! 😍
Good evening, Pon. 😊
It has become a tradition for me to reduce the number of
I've been trying to reduce it little by little every year. (I'm so glad you're here.
Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be able to do it again 😄
Junmai Ginjo-shu brewed with Fuku-no-Ka using the Yamahai method.
The aroma is mild.
The mouthfeel has a strong umami flavor.
The sweetness is moderate.
It is delicious even when heated.
Sake from Aizu-Sakashita in my wife's countryside. This is my first time to drink sake here.
It is refreshing and fruity. I really felt that the level of Aizu sake is very high!
I served it with Aizu horse sashimi, and I used Korean Karatsu and Kumotsuru for the sake cups.
Sparkling sake from Aizu's Toyokuni Shuzo
Since there is Toyokuni Shuzo (一歩己) in Fukushima Prefecture, I apologize, but I was confusing it with their sake brewery.
We bought this sake because we had a chance to visit a liquor store in Aizu!
I brought it to a celebration and it took more than 5 minutes to gush when I opened the bottle lol!
The taste is low alcohol, 12%, so it drinks like sparkling wine! The carbonation is not that strong, but the schwizziness is wine itself!
It is not enough to drink as sake, but if you drink it as sparkling wine, I personally prefer it to wine!
3.8/5
Toyokuni Shuzo
FENGOKUNI Junmai-shu (Junmai-shu made with white malted rice)

It has a very sweet aroma and taste, and is very easy to drink!
It seems to go well with all kinds of food.
Local sake purchased at Michi no Eki Aizu Sakashita
It smells like young trees and has a mild sweetness.
It tastes a little strong, so we recommend drinking it slowly.
