Here is the 5th cup!
Fukutsuru Ginjo Koshu
As the name suggests, the sake is a ginjo-shu that has been preserved for as long as five years.
All we have left are some miscellaneous notes💦.
Chuckles, "Hmmm."
I think the point is to have a deep taste... 😁
I will really miss you, E-kun, my number one disciple of sake 😭.
I'll miss you so much 😭 You'd better go to Tokyo and find a lot of good restaurants and show me around when I come to Tokyo 🙏.
As for work, with your current skills, don't worry 👌
You'll do fine at the head office, that's for sure.
Take care of yourself ❗️ as it seems to be a very busy department.
👋
Good morning, Haruei Chichi. How many farewell parties are you having 😅I guess that's how much you drink 🍶 Yesterday I thought that if you drink too many drinks outside, your tongue gets more and more stupid and your memory becomes hazy 😅.
Haruei Chichi, good morning ☀️
I'm glad you opened the vine barrier just in time👍️.
I guess a welcome party is next.
Make sure you research a lot of good restaurants before the next offline meeting 😊.
Hi Haruei Chichi 😃Since sake lovers are rare, it's too sad to see your best disciple transfer 💦It means you now have an excuse to come to Tokyo...we'll be waiting for you 😉.
Good evening again, Haruei Chichi! 😄
We have a ban on farewell parties at our house. 😂 Luckily we are not transferring from Fukuoka this year, though. 🤗But we will do the launch secretly 😆👍
MAJ, another belly match❗️.
I know a lot of companies have bans.
But I really think that only a milestone launch is indispensable!
We need to get offline again too 😁.
I stopped by the antenna shop and bought it.
The aroma is restrained. It is gentle and round in the mouth.
I roasted the fish cake I bought with it and used it as a snack.
It's delicious! Happy!
I wonder if the people of Nagasaki Prefecture always have delicious sake and jakoten.
I wish I could go on a trip.
Today's home brew is Fukutsuru from Nagasaki Prefecture, according to Ishikawa's sake drinking diary. It is the first time to drink this sake.
Nagasaki is the last prefecture I visited in Japan. I wish I could go there again.

I bought it at an antenna shop in Ginza.
Now I have conquered 47 prefectures!
It is the first time to buy sake in Nagasaki. It is the first time to buy Nagasaki sake.
It has a refreshing ginjo aroma. It is light, moderately sweet, and neutral.
I chilled it and served it with pickled cucumber and ara soup.
The mellow feeling typical of sake comes first, but it disappears without lingering.
It is also good that it is slightly fizzy. It feels like it is dusting on the tongue.
Although we are in the midst of a self-restraint on drinking, I had a drink outside secretly in the name of a social gathering with seniors who I have not seen in almost a year and younger employees of the branch office.
After drinking beer 🍺 and ordering the all-you-can-drink sake (about 40 kinds of sake) for ¥2,500, we went out to drink 🦬.
However, being the organizer of the event, I can't get drunk today, so I'll savor it at a slower pace 😊.
First, I chose Fukutsuru's Ginjo Koshu. An old sake sent out by Fukuda Shuzo in Hirado, Nagasaki.
Hirado is my mother's hometown and I used to visit there a lot as a kid.
But my only impression of Fukuda Shuzo was that their main product was potato shochu💦.
However, it is very popular among Nagasaki shochu these days (ranked No. 2 in Nagasaki by Sake-no-wa), and I've been wanting to try it someday.
But the first choice of old sake... 😅
Let's taste it right away ❗️.
The aroma is like an old sake, reminiscent of whisky 🥃, and the color is just like that of aged grains.
But in the mouth, umami, bitterness, and pungency are not so strong, and a gentle sweetness spreads slowly.
The sweetness, somewhat like a noble sake, is irresistible👍.
It was a sake 🍶 like a veteran actress whose performance has become more and more polished with age.
Hello Haruei Chichi😃!
I don't have an all-you-can-drink sake shop near me, so I'm jealous 😍 40 different kinds is amazing 👍How many drinks did you have?
I bought a set of one Yogo bottle and five 1-sho bottles that I didn't know the contents of until they arrived. This is one of the bottles.
I was told to be careful when opening the bottle, so I opened it after it had cooled sufficiently. It has a sweet and savory taste with a hint of shuwa-shuwa.
2020.12.19 Okoroji again🌷.
This time, with shellfish sukiyaki... 🐚
I like the aroma. I'm not sure what to make of it.
I think women will like it, I like it!
