First Tochigi Residents' Meeting of 2024: ‼️
First of all, we had a small gathering of 11 Tochigi Prefecture residents 🤗.
YasuSake was not able to join us this time due to a flu infection right before the meeting 🥲, but Snow Moon and Flower Star joined us 😊Almost all the members living in Tochigi are here!
The place was the usual sacred place Kurata-san ❗️, so we toasted with Tochigi sake from Chuai-san 🥳.
Sharp, sweet and tasty, perfect for a toast 😋!
And this toast! Actually, it was the last one for one of the participants 🤭We're waiting for you to come up 😁.
The first Kenmin-kai in about 5 months was a non-stop talk & drink with a seat change in between 😆 Everyone had a smile on their face and it was a relief to be back. ☺️ There were several drinks brought in, special drinks from the restaurant, and even a surprise 😳... It was a fun time 😚 It lasted about 4 hours. We had a great time 😚 We stayed for about 4 hours and the price was a stable 5,000 yen!
And then to the second party 🥳!
Tochigi Prefecture and Utsunomiya City have been featured on TV a lot lately! We hope to make it more exciting at the Kenmin Kai👍.
And to those of you who were not able to join us this time 👋 we hope to expand the area for the next event in the summer 👍.
Love of loyalty is love of Tochigi 🥰.
by Nemuchi 😆.

Chuai Nakadori Junmai Gohyakumangoku
Specified name
Tokubetsu Junmai Sake
Ingredients
Rice, rice malt
Rice polishing ratio
55% (the highest percentage ever recorded)
Rice used
Gohyakumangoku
At Ichisan, Iruma City
I like its sweetness and a little peculiar!
Yaita City, Tochigi Prefecture. Tomikawa Sake Brewery Co.
Chuai Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Shu ORIGARUMI
The love of Chuai is the love of 💕Tochigi💕🤗.
We will drink it cold.
The color is a little whitish and clear, and it is orikara, but there are some visible orikara, but very small amounts.
The aroma is slightly pineapple-like at the moment of pouring. The alu aroma comes in later.
On the palate, there is a slight creaminess at first, followed by a full-bodied freshness and fruit juiciness.
The taste right out of the fridge is slightly sweet, with a hint of bitterness. As the temperature rises a little, the bitterness spreads, although it is not spicy.
The impact of the bitterness is strong.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Alcoholic Beverage: 16% Alcohol content: 16
Rice used: 100% Miyamanishiki
Polishing ratio: 55
It is said to be bottled within a week of going into the vat.
Aochan said it was too sweet, but maybe it's because it's been sitting for almost 2 months? 🤔.
Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I drank it right after buying it💦.
Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
Tochigi love 🥰 love Tochigi sake 🍶 with loyal love ❤️ 🤗 love alone is too sweet 😅 maybe we need to spice it up with bitterness 😆.
Hello bouken, 😊love of loyalty, did it resonate with you 😁It's really from loyalty to your country, but it's more like 💕love of Tochigi💕 than such a difficult thing 💕Sakewa 💕☺️ I guess technically it's like loyalty J & N love Tochigi 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊Chuai not only has a great name, but also a great label and taste, full of love 💕Bitter taste is also a spice of love 😁Chuai has many varieties, I will continue to deepen my 💕Tochi love 💕🤗.
Chuai Nakadori Junmai Daiginjo Aizan Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake
I saved this one for last!
I paired the last sake with Ezo-jika tantan nabe, again. It was different from what I was expecting.
We let Nono-san slip in for the last order!
