Basically, I'm a drinker, so I say anything goes as long as I can get drunk, but still, I prefer classic sake to modern.
The ones that even I can safely buy in a bottle are Hakurakusei and Chuai, and then Kikutaka and Sakaya Hachibei.
I can buy a bottle of Hakurakusei and Chuaibi, as well as Kikutaka and Hachibei at sake breweries, with no worries.
Chuaiai Unfiltered Nama-wara is not a sake that should be heated, but its fresh sweetness and deep rice flavor sinks in.
It is not a sake that should be heated, but the fresh sweetness and deep rice flavor really sink in.
I was not getting enough exercise over the three-day weekend, so I went for a little cycling and felt refreshed, and now I want to drink sake.
Sake from Tochigi
100% Miyamanishiki
55% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume
Acidity 1.5, Sake Degree -0.2
Start with the supernatant.
Slightly sweet, tangy and fresh.
It will be mellower tomorrow.
Then, I turned the bottle back a little and added some oriki.
It became a little cloudy, but the amount of oriki was moderate.
The aroma is a little more vibrant than that of the supernatant. The aftertaste is clean and crisp.
It is a 1.5 liter bottle, so I am looking forward to the changes.
After 1 day, I can smell a little peachy aroma, but the freshness is still there.
I'm drinking at home🎶.
This year's goal
Drink brands I have never drank at home!
Drink local Kyoto sake!
It's my first chuai at home and outside! Sweet 😊.
The label looks like my favorite Naoe Kanetsugu's love 👌
At least it's sweet! One of the sweetest I've had lately ☝️ sweet 😰.
I wanted to drink it a year ago! I prefer it less sweet these days 😰.
I wonder how the taste will change after tomorrow 😁.
Good evening, Ao 😃.
Congratulations on your first loyal love 🩷🎉.
I know what you mean about sweetness! We've been on the dry side lately too 🤗The taste changes with the food and the sake cup 🤔.
But tochisake for achieving your goal! Thank you 😊
Good morning, Ao-chan 😃
I was recommended to drink it by Neemuchi-san at the Osaka off-line meeting of Sake no Wawa and it left a great impression on me 😌I would like to drink it at home but it hasn't happened yet 😓.
Hi Ao 🐦.
Congratulations on your first loyalty 🎉Osaka offline meeting, it was emptied in front of me and I still can't drink it yet🤣Have your tastes changed? I hope the sweetness has calmed down today 🎉.
Good evening, Rafa papa 😁.
As Pon-chan commented, you were drinking at the Osaka party, weren't you?
I think it might have tasted even sweeter yesterday because the side dishes at home were a little spicy. I'm looking forward to today's flavor change!
Good evening Ponchan 😁.
I lost it in front of Ponchan 😭 such an incident 😂 I can imagine what Ponchan looks like 😭😂.
Maybe my taste has changed? I've started drinking heated sake and I prefer it a little spicier now😍.
Day 2 The sweetness is gone a bit and the bitterness is moderate! Just the way I like it 😁😍😍.
The change in taste that can be seen when drinking at home Sake is still delicious and fun 😍😁😁.
At the corner Nadya
Is this Chuaai a little bitter?
The Chuaai I drank before was very sweet,
It's difficult and fun because it's different in many ways.
Chung Ai today!
I haven't had a drink since the prefects' meeting😄.
The aroma is fresh and fruity❗
The taste is also fruity and slightly sweet 🍍.
It's not too strong, and although it feels a little dry, it's sharp and easy to drink 👍
Only one day left in this year.
Thank you for a year of safe, healthy and delicious drinking ✨.
See you tomorrow and next year☺.
Merry Christmas🎄🎉
The kids are getting bigger now, so I'm out of the 🎅 role 😄.
I drink sparkling 🫧 on holy night.

Chuaai Sparkling Sweet.
To be served cold.
When I loosened the cap halfway when I opened the bottle, bubbles started to rise, but they stayed at the surface. Zero spillage 👌👌.
Sparkling when poured into a glass.
Drinking from the top clear, the texture of the shwashiness on the tongue is a fine, energetic carbonation of bubbles.
At first it has a slightly medicinal aroma and taste, a bit like children's cold medicine syrup.
From the middle, it is quite bitter and dry, but with a strong bitter taste.
When mixed with lees, the mouthfeel remains the same.
The aroma and taste like children's cold medicine syrup and the dryness is a little lessened, but the bitter bitterness is not changed much.
The label suggested it would be sweet, but it's surprisingly bitter-dry Tochigi Ai💕🤗💕.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Alcohol content: 13%.
Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
We too have graduated from Santa and it's been over a decade now... we both have zero sense of Christmas 😆.
Loyalty Spark! It's good without being too sweet 😋.
Tochigi love from loyal love 🥰.
Nemuchi, Merry Xmas 🎅🎄, a day late!
I like the Chuai ❣️ which I couldn't drink because it was empty at the offline meeting 〰✨I think I'm going to buy a packet of this 💕.
Haruei Chichi, late Merry Christmas 🎉Xmas I decided on sparkling and it turned out to be loyal love 😊I thought the label looked like Valentine's Day, but the chew 💏 love 💕 is certainly more youth oriented 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛It's easy when you graduate from Santa, but it's not enough 🤣I had fun disguising myself as Santa and handing out gifts 🤣My favorite liquor store has started carrying Chu-Ai, so I'll be deepening my love for Tochigi 😄.
Pon-chan, I'm sorry I'm late for this merikuri 🎄I remember, you couldn't drink Chuaai⁉😳I hope there are more distributors of Chuaai because there are many delicious ones 😊You can enjoy the strong and delicate flavor of female brewery master 😋.
Good morning, Nemuchi-san 😃.
I remember that Chuaai was recommended by Nemuchi at the first off-line meeting in Osaka and it was very tasty 🙄I think of Nemuchi when I see Chuaai 😁.
Rafa papa, good evening 🌛I recommended Chung-Ai as delicious when I attended the first offline meeting while being shy 😁I will continue to drink Chung-Ai with a heart of loyalty and patriotism so as not to ruin the image 🤗.
The last time I drank Chu-Ai, I had the impression that it had a strong alcoholic taste, so I was hesitant to buy a new sake, but I decided that I had to try a new sake.
I bought it, but it didn't fit in the fridge, so I opened the bottle immediately.
It was cloudy with little sedimentation and a slight haze.
It is a fresh, sweet and sour sake with no gasiness.
Sweet and gorgeous aroma. It is quite sweet. When chilled, it has a honey-like flavor, but as it warms up, it becomes sour and pineapple-like. I have never tasted it before, but it has an aroma similar to that of pears. As it warms up, the astringency of the aftertaste becomes a little more noticeable. It is sweet and has a strong flavor, so I would rather enjoy it by itself after a meal than with a meal.
Get the cute Chu-Ai!
A little bit hard-core image (selfish assumption?).
(Sorry, I'm being too funny.)
It's so beautifully muddy😍just right? Snow is dancing and it's a nice feeling.
You can drink it.
Alcohol content is 13°, yay! You can drink a lot: ⁉️
No, no, no, let's savor it!
A little sweet, a little petit.
Weak alcohol content, so it certainly goes down well!
I found myself drunk!
Chuaibi has mastered the art of good trickery!
thanks Saito Sake Shop (Tochigi:Otawara)
Good evening, Bunzu-san 😃.
I had a sparkling ‼️ from Chuai-san for my birthday last year and it was so delicious that I knew I was too hazy 🤗It's so good, I can't help but drink it 😄.
Thank you, Jay & Novi.
It is not active and has a mild structure.
It's not a very active nigori, but it has a gentle structure and can be opened without worry.
It was just right.
Third day of business trip to Utsunomiya
Drinks with the junior staff of the company
We wanted to drink dry sake.
Chuaiai dry sake
It's a bit sweet for a dry sake.
Delicious!
Yaita City, Tochigi Prefecture. Tomikawa Sake Brewery Co.
Chuai Nakadori Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
We found and bought this sake as a toast for the 3rd Tochigi citizens' meeting of the Sake-no-wa Tochigi.
I dreamed of going to Tochigi with many members of the Kansai Branch, and we had a party 🍶.
💞Tochigi Prefecture love 💞🤗🤗
I will drink it cold.
The top-tasting aroma is a ginjo aroma with a full-bodied flavor that reminds me of a thick honey sweetness. It reminds me of concentrated honey.
The initial taste is fruity and sweet, but the honey-like richness is not sweet, but rather the aftertaste is crisp and clean, and the final taste is dry and refreshing.
The aroma as it passes through the nose is sweet and rich, like brown sugar.
It is exactly the kind of rich, mellow, clean dry taste that I like.
If I recall, it also has the same impression as Dewa Sanzan by Malmouth Yonezuru, so maybe I prefer Dewa Sanzan 🤔.
I like Dewa Sanzan so much that when I hear the word "Dewa Sanzan", I react with a start 😍.
Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice malt(domestic)

Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
You know very well the toast 🍶 of the 3rd Prefectural Meeting😳.
I have a feeling this is a dream come true 🥹.
Glad it's to your liking Nemuchi🤗.
Good morning, Nemuchi-san 😃.
I was recommended Chuaai by Nemuchi at the first Osaka Off-line meeting and it was very tasty and left a strong impression on me 😊I wondered whether I should buy it at the liquor store the day after the Tochigi Prefectural Meeting, but I gave up because of my bag 🥲.
Rafa papa sake god, good morning ☀☀☀ offline meeting chuai was also delicious 😋 I tasted many kinds of chuai, but none of them are not good 👍This first time I tasted Dewa Sanzu, it was a real hit and it broke my heart💘
