Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi
We were allowed to drink it at a product exhibition in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Sake meter value is +2 and acidity is 2.0, but the aftertaste is crisp and easy to drink!

Story during training in Kyushu
To Mojiko with my friends & Shimonoseki Karato Market in Yamaguchi Prefecture❗
Fukuoka and Yamaguchi are both a treasure trove of sake 💎There is a lot of sake you haven't seen yet😆Mojiko has a wonderful nostalgic atmosphere✨I had the famous grilled curry 🍛and then went to Yamaguchi prefecture for the first time! I didn't realize how close the Kanmon Strait is 😲I had a one-cup of Yamatohka for lunch 🍶I love being drunk from noon on 😳.

Hi, Mr. Noodle Sake King 🌛.
Is this [Mojiyaki Curry]! As a curry lover, I can't miss it 🥰.
It's so nice to have a "santouka" with a view of the sea, which is different from Hokkaido 🤣.

別府の酒飲み
Private brand of Fujimura Sake Brewery in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture
The sake is named after a local poet and the owner of the brewery.
We bought a 300ml bottle to try, as it is a traditional brand that has been commissioned to be brewed continuously for 26 years.
The ginjo aroma is mild, and you don't even notice it on the palate.
But I did not expect to find such a beautiful sake in Yamaguchi.
Toyo Bijin, Tenbi, and other gorgeous brands are popular,
This sake is a perfect representative of Yamaguchi as a food sake.

Yamaguchi Prefecture booth (3)
If you see a brand you have never had before, you are sick of not being able to stop drinking it.
◉Santouka Junmai Ginjo
This one also has an impressive sourness and acidity, which later tightens up with acidity, followed by a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
I knew I was going to get too drunk and feel dangerous, so I decided to use a dispensing cup. It was nice to be given a paper cup (vomit container) to hang around my neck.

We are going to drink thoroughly unknown breweries 😁.
Yamaguchi City's Kinko's Yamatohka
Polishing ratio 55% Yamadanishiki 15
Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.8, List price 1600 yen
It has a clean, classic taste, but it is easy to drink without any habits.
It is good during a meal. It tastes like it won't interfere with a meal.

Went to a sake brewery in Yamaguchi last month and bought it.
(Thank you kindly even though I went there almost out of the blue 🙇 )
Bought this year's freshly made, but it's been a while (not that freshly made doesn't taste great)
SANTOUKAI Junmai Ginjo
100% Yamadanishiki
Soft with a hint of acidity.
Because it's a cold sake, it's clear and refreshing.
It is quite gentle.
Slightly sweet
It doesn't interfere with your meal.
The atmosphere of the brewery and the people who helped me were unpretentious without being overbearing (my own image 😁), but the sake also seems to be a little similar 😆 (my imagination 😝)

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (3) Shinkansen
On the way back from Shin-Yamaguchi, I visited Izakaya Shinkansen after a long time 😆.
Drinking Sandesi that I got yesterday at Kinko's Sake Brewery,
I asked if they had 300ml of this at the brewery yesterday. I asked if they had a 300ml bottle of the Junmai Ginjo that I bought in a 4-quart bottle, so I asked if they had a different one. The one they brought out was still freshly made! The label was still fresh! I was so excited 😁.
I told him it was fine if it didn't have a label on it (it's rare), but he said no, he called someone and went to the trouble of putting it on (thanks 🙇 ).
mountain travel, water travel, and water travel
A little sweet and sour.
I remember that the last time I drank it, it was a little more dry and refreshing, maybe because it was cold sake.
But this one is not so called sweet, but I can feel the sweetness of the rice.
It's a nice taste!
This time, I brought a glass (ochoko size) as a strong helper 🤣🤣.
The possibility of having someone next to you increases as you go from Hiroshima to Okayama to Kobe. I'm a bit nervous😅😅

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (1) Kanemitsu Brewery
The day before, I had no special plans, so I arrived in Yamaguchi a little early and went to the Kinko's Sake Brewery (one stop from Shinzanguchi), which I thought would be a good place to visit.
I was allowed to sample some 🍶 and was told to "take your pick from this list" 😆! I was so excited 😆.
Nigori
First impression, dark! This cloudy dark!
Of course it is sweet!
Junmai Ginjo
Beautiful, delicious, soft acidity and sweetness!
ZORRO
This is another beautiful sake, but a little different from Junmai Ginjo.
It has more acidity and fruity taste than Junmai Ginjo.
Daiginjo
Even clearer and more beautiful.
I had called in advance (but an hour before) and felt bad that the person at the brewery had to deal with me. But they treated me well! 🙇.
The nigori and junmai ginjo are new sake, and the other sake are this year's. The bottles are ready, but will be bottled after tomorrow. It's ready, but they say it will be bottled after tomorrow. I bought a freshly made Junmai Ginjo because I wanted to try it. There were also some other rare sake (aged sake) that I couldn't decide which to buy..,
I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen at Izakaya. I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen (bullet train).

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
When you have so many bottles lined up for you to choose from, you'd think it was an all-you-can-drink place 🤣 (not true!).
It's a bokkiri, but it was a kind brewery 🥰.

Work in Yamaguchi was over and I was on my way home.
It takes about 4 hours by Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama, which is quite long!
Today, let's go back home after drinking as much as we do at Izakaya Shinkansen.
Today was so busy that I didn't eat lunch 🥴.
However, almost the last bullet train, and around Shin-Yamaguchi station, there are not so many places to prepare 🤔.
At a souvenir shop in the station, I got a hamo no tsukurin (pike conger eel) and gairo for dessert (I heard it's a bit different from gairo in Nagoya)!
(I heard it's a little different from gairo in Nagoya.) They didn't have any bento-like bento, so I went to the combined 7-Eleven and Souvenir Kaido store inside the ticket gate.
Seriously 😱.
The bento was sold out........
I hadn't even eaten lunch 😭
So I switched to something that looked like a prepared dish from 7-Eleven.
Sake is santouka!
A little yellow.
At room temperature, it feels like it's mellow in the mouth.
A bit like honjozo? It's a solid taste, I don't dislike it.
It has a strong taste.

Santoka純米吟醸 山行水行
Takashi
When I went to Yamaguchi on business before, I brought back a bottle of sake I'd never had before, just for the sake of it.
Yamatohka: Sake made with rice from the Saito Shizuku
Sake made with Yamaguchi's sake rice, Saito no Shizuku
Taneda Yamatohka was born in Hofu and once lived in Ogori (around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). (Around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?).
Looks a little yellow.
It's a little yellow in color. It's a little sour, but you can taste the rice.
But you can taste the rice flavor, not sweet but tasty.
This is delicious 😋.
On the second day, it tasted even better 😋😋😋😋.
The third one is a statue of Santoka in front of the station (a bit backlit)
