Kita no Yui, available again this year
Kitashizuku 60% polished rice
This aroma is Yui!
It is a little sharp, but fruity, juicy, sweet and delicious, just like Yui.
The bitterness at the end is typical of a new sake.
After the second day, the bitterness settles down and it becomes softer.
You can tell that they are doing their best in Hokkaido this year too!
Even though they are far away, you can feel the bond between them.
Kansai Sake-new year party (4)
It was time to change seats for the second time!
I wasn't sure where to sit, so I went to the table farthest away from the others!
bouken, Nemuchi, kan
Ofuji, Yoohee, pyonpyon
I hope I got it right😅.
I was getting drunk these days, so forgive me if I was rude 🙏.
And I got a surprise report from a member!
This is the sake we drank at the previous table, but this is also the sake we wanted to drink!
I said it was so good! ❣️
I wish I could drink it at home...
I heard from Kyukura-san on the store's SNS.
They said they had about 15 bottles open that day 😳
Even if it wasn't a sealed bottle... 🤣
We drank a lot and talked for 3 hours and had a lot of fun 🥹...
That's all for me 🥹.
Thank you so much for all your help in coordinating and booking the event 🙇 Uma Uma Uma, the organizer of the event.
Thank you all for the great conversation and drinks 😊.
Let's drink again ❣️
Good evening, Pon. 😊
Thanks for the New Year's party. 😋
I could feel you had a good time.
I could feel you had a good time 😋, but you drank quite a bit. 😓
That's great 😓. 😫
Thanks for the New Year's party, Pon-chan 😊.
I just happened to find this Yui Yui at Asano Sake Shop in Umeda today and brought it home 😆.
I'm looking forward to opening the first Yui Yui!
Good evening Ponchan 😃Thanks for your help the other day 💮It was nice to have you here when we switched seats - ❤️ It was fun to taste different things when there were so many of us 😆 I just can't remember which one was which... 😅 but it was delicious 😋.
Good evening, Pon 🌛.
Thank you for your hard work on the offline meeting ✨It was a fun meeting with good drinks, food and surprises 😁.
When we left the restaurant for the first meeting, the manager was surprised at how much everyone drank 🤣.
Hey Pon, it's nice to have a seat change time in a big group 😃.
It's good to have a seat change time when you are in a big group 🤗I forget that I drink a lot when I drink a little bit of different drinks 😆.
Surprise and congrats to you! I feel some kind of connection with you: ☺️
Thanks for the offline meeting pyonpyon😊that was fun 🎶.
I forced my way in 😁I was happy to talk to someone I didn't have much time to talk to that day because of that 😆I'm a bit suspicious about my drinking and conversation 😂.
Hi Pon 😀
I drank quite a variety of drinks and I almost forgot what I drank and how it tasted 🤣.
But I do remember that all the drinks were all delicious... 🤣
Gyve, I hope you had a good time at the offline meeting! Thanks for coming from a long way 😊.
I'm sorry you had to hear that 😆 I thought it was not so bad since most of them are already sealed up 😅 Maybe a little bit is more than you think!
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your help here 😊.
I didn't realize it was a surprise! I didn't even realize it 〰〰👍✨
I'm sure Tochigi will need to change seats as well 🙏 I'll keep this in mind when I'm in the area 🙏.
Hello Yasbaye 🐦.
I see that's the case even for you Yasbaye 😆 I was too distracted this time and didn't take notes at all 😅I'm going to try to put together this year's outside drinking post 😂I hope it's tasty and fun 😉.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
Thanks for posting offline ✨
I voluntarily switched seats with Masha since the results were no transfers 😁.
All the drinks were delicious 😋 hours always fly by 💦.
Thank you bouken 😊
I'm very happy to drink a lot of things I wanted to drink but didn't 😆 I wish I could have tasted more of Mitsuo Yamakawa and others 😂.
I wish I could have tasted more of Yamakawa Mitsuo 😂Seat change
Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (4)
The fourth drink was a "hidden sake" that was on the menu.
Yui Yui Special Junmai
Fruity aroma, clean sweetness, and a lingering citrusy aroma with a touch of bitterness at the back of the throat.
This brewery was destroyed by fire in 2022, and with the cooperation of the Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery in Hokkaido, we brewed this bottle with the same yeast and koji as before, Hokkaido sake rice Kitashizuku, and water from the Daisetsuzan mountain range ✨.
We felt this could be a test case for the various efforts to support the breweries affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake 😊.
Kansai Sake-new Year's Party 8
What's coming out, the mysterious hidden sake-like thing.
Like today's recommendation.
It's refreshing, gorgeous, and fruity.
I haven't had Yui Yui in a while, but even though it's brewed in Hokkaido, it's still as sweet and tasty as ever 😋.
The one I had last year.
Soft, soft, fruity, sweet and delicious.
Easy to drink and doesn't get stuck in the throat.
The bitterness comes in for a moment and then it goes away.
8 items (Wife: 9 items)
Ingredients : rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Ingredients : 100% Akaban Omachi rice
Rice polishing ratio : 38
Sake Degree : undisclosed
Acidity : Undisclosed
Yeast used : M310
Alcohol content : 16
Purchased from: Nemoto Shoten (Sapporo, Minami-ku)
Shupon when opened
Almost no gas
Slightly sweet with a blue banana-like top note
The same mellow aroma, full sweetness, and full-bodied, robust rice flavor with a thin acidity and a hint of bitterness spread out with a zing, and a little bit of alcohol spiciness makes the wine finish crisp and clean while leaving a lingering rice flavor.
The sweetness is strong, but the richness of the Omachi-like rice, the bitterness in the latter half of the middle section, and the dryness of the alcohol do not bother me as much as it should.
This sake has a somewhat classical and sturdy impression,
It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own.
It went well with fried Japanese pavilion, miso grilled mino, boiled isotsubu clams, fried oysters, and fried white meat.
It also went well with grilled Hokke.
It also went well with the Australian beef tataki and the pancake with kimchi on top.
MasaakI Sapporo, good morning 😃.
I like the fact that Yui-san took this picture in Hokkaido, Japan 🤗The brown army on the table looks like a good fit 😋.
Good morning Jay & Nobby, I heard that you use Hokkaido brewing water at ⛄️ Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery, so it is indeed a co-production 🍶 It has a rather robust taste, so it won't lose to the brown army 😁.
♪♪♪♪♪
This is one of the same specs as when it won the first Grand Prix at the 2021 Sake Made with Hokkaido Rice Awards!
Of course, the one back then was brewed in Ibaraki...
This is the Sanzen Sakura Ver!
When I bought it, the store owner advised me, "The Sanzen Sakura is stronger right after the bottle is opened, but after a day, it will be much closer to Yuki! She advised me "It's the difference of the brewing water", so I put it into practice!
Ah, it's true that you can tell it's a "Sanzen Sakura" just after the bottle is opened! ←Is this true? I'm not sure.
And when I let it sit for a day...
Oh, no wonder!
It's Yuki! ←Is it true? It's me!
I'm glad I took the advice of the store owner this time!
I'm sure it tastes good no matter which way you drink it!
Good evening, Miyabi 😃.
I tend to feel that way when you teach us 😆 I too am led to preconceived notions of taste by the color of the label 😅 but I'm sure the lady at the liquor store is right 👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I'll be guided W. I'm so indecisive.
I have great confidence in the sister in the store because she is probably a sales professional!
I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I'm not sure. I'm a self-deprecating person.
Do you know the difference? I ask myself "Do you know the difference?
