On the previous Sunday, we performed at the Aoba Ward Citizens' Festival.
The festival is quite a spectacular event, as we performed together with the Aoba Ward Fire Brigade's ladder-riding performance, but the audience was sparse as it was the first performance after the opening ceremony.
Since kijataki has the meaning of exorcism, it is usually performed first thing in the morning. I wonder if this is one of the reasons why there are so many seniors in the audience.
Now, the Tochigi sake, Kyokko.
I don't feel much Kamitachi-kou.
The mouthfeel is a wave of profound umami from a refreshing sweetness. As one would expect from a 5-year aged sake. It is a five-year aged sake, and it carries a good umami. The aftertaste is also clear and finishes with mild acidity and bitterness.
There is no strange twinge that is sometimes found in aged sake. Delicious! Asahi Kohshin!
Please don't abuse me, I can speak sake without permission.
〜Old man's skin is surprisingly beautiful!
Thank you for the food and drink!
Hello J & N 😁.
We had another woodcutter showcase this week, two weeks in a row 😄This is the last event for the year: ✌️
I'm alone, but I'll sing next time I see you👍.
Kyokkyo is great 🤘.
Sake from Tochigi continues to be served.
When you open the bottle, you can smell the aroma of freshly cooked rice.
The taste is elegant and beautifully sweet! It is a delicious one.
It has a nice sharpness, and I found another great sake.
300ml ¥770- (tax included)
Today was the final game of the grass baseball tournament 🏟️
We lost in the last inning 😭5x8
I was supposed to have a victory party but it turned into a disappointment party 😩.
I got it as soon as I saw WOM's post!
It looks delicious even before I drink it, but it's really good!
WOM wrote about it in detail 📝.
It must be delicious 😋!
I'm afraid of muscle pain from tomorrow 😱.
Good morning, Bousuke 😃.
Thank you for your lion's share of ‼️😌.
I'm sure that Tochigi sake 🍶 is the best remedy for such fatigue 🤗Thank you WOM for your commentary 👋Good luck with your training offline 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I still have regrets when we end up losing!
Regretful is a sign that we can still improve!
We will work on it again 🫡.
Asahi Xing here was correct 👍.
Lost and Found Series. This summer has been busy💦. This one is very rude to say that I took advantage of the time I had to give and forget organization. No wonder they call it a genius, Tochigi is amazing.
It has a light touch from the citrusy aroma, and the rice flavor and sweetness, it's dark but clear, so it's easy to drink. It was the kind you can't go wrong with. Next time, I would like to try Yumesasara.
My personal favorite brand of Tochigi sake😊.
I bought the autumn sake because it's kind of cheap for the specs 👌
It has a nice aroma. Smells a bit like a paste 😃.
It has a light mouthfeel 👄.
It has a wasanbon type of sweetness with a refreshing lemon water-like acidity. Then comes a light citrusy bitterness that is refreshing 👄.
It is a light and refreshing sake like a summer sake. ‼️ is delicious 😊.
I heard that the concept is to cool it down and make a good autumn sake, and it is true 😆 Well, I thought it would be better to make it as a summer sake, but I won't say it out loud😇.
It goes well with the sweetness of steamed sweet potatoes 🍠.
The third picture is motsu-ni from Marusan Shokudo in Mito‼️The motsu-ni here is very good, so please drop by on your way to Oarai❤️
You can also take it home from the vending machine.
Hi T.KISO, ‼️
Steamed sweet potatoes went surprisingly well 🤣.
I mean, I eat sweet potatoes so much more often around this time of the year 😂I get quite a lot of them as gifts ☺️
Hello, Kotaro 😃The motsu-ni here is very good 😃The motsu-yaki is also popular, but you have to go early when they open or they sell out quickly 😭.
You should definitely try motsu-ni tonight, you can also buy it online at ‼️
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😃.
This is Kochira's Asahi Kohsan! It's the "perfect mix of sake" that many of us have been drinking lately 😋.
Why don't you make it a summer sake? I'm just saying 😆.
We got Urasato Junmai instead 😁.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I like Asahi Koh's Assemblage because it's cheap for the specs, it's good value for money and it's delicious ✌️
How do you figure this ratio 🤣?
At standing drinking chuin where we stopped by on our way home from Kaze no Mori WEEKS 2024.
Kyokko is brewed by Watanabe Shuzo of Tochigi, the Nanbu Touji master of my favorite Touji, Urasato Chikara Touji.
Whenever I find it, I drink it.
The first thing that catches my attention about this junmai ginjo of early autumn is the seven varieties of sake rice (Yamadanishiki has six varieties because of its different milling ratio), which are all different in terms of milling ratio and the ratio of rice used.
It seems that the sake was brewed by gathering surplus rice, but I like this kind of thing because it is ethical and interesting 😊.
The concept of this hiyaoroshi is that it is not ready to be heated, even though it was stored at ice temperature, so unusually it is recommended to be served cold.
The yeasts used are 1801 and 701.
The appearance is a slightly pale silver-green crystal.
The aroma is gorgeous, but low in tone and mild.
Typical cleanness of yellow apple, pear, melon and banana capsicum + vinegary iso.
There is also a rice aroma about the size of rice cakes.
When drinking, it has a smooth texture.
The sweetness is moderate, and the acidity is fine and spreads smoothly.
The stimulation of the fine acidity spreads and passes from the upper jaw to the back of the throat.
The bitter, complex flavor can be sensed, and it finishes with the acidity.
The finish is moderately sharp with a medium aftertaste.
It was quite an interesting sake.
Thank you for the sake.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
I drink when I have it, Asahi Kohsan! Not rice mixed with rice, but a great mixed sake 🍶 and yet you managed to bring together all the complexity 🤗Tochigi sake indeed 🍶.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I think it's a testament to your ability to properly commercialize such a complicated ingredient 😁.
The taste is both messy and cohesive 🤔It was really interesting 😄
October 1 is Sake Day
Since there is no event nearby
I will drink sake at home while watching a nationwide toast broadcasted on the Internet.
Early Autumn at Asahi Koh
The rice, the degree of polishing, and the yeast are all different
The blend is different every year
Aroma of mellow, ripe persimmon
The layered sweetness of wasanbon and fruits
The flavors are exquisite!
And yet, the overall taste is mellow and the aftertaste is mild.
Another excellent mixed sake this year!
Capsicum aroma of 1801?
Noticeable sweetness from Aizan?
Miyamanishiki for the clean aftertaste?
It is fun to drink while imagining!
Good morning, bap 😃
I didn't know there was such a thing as a nationwide toast 😳It's indeed Sake Day🤗As expected of Asahi Kohsan on such a day! It will be interesting to drink while imagining the taste of the rice in the perfect mix of sake 😁.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😀 We were toasting not only domestically but also relayed to Taiwan and Thailand and other countries 🥂Gyokxing is a drink I like and drink often. Well, it was excellent 😋.
The second meeting of 2024 surrounding TOMO-san (5)
Love for Tochigi🥰 even in the offline meeting Part 2
I feel like I'm drinking all the brands I haven't had in a long time since the first meeting this time 🤔.
Sake blended with 7 kinds of rice
I wonder if the number of blended rice is different depending on the BY?
I thought it was complex because of the blending.
The taste is not perverted but the concept of blending 7 kinds of rice is perverted 😅
I know there was a similar one in the form.
This is my third visit to chuin, and I have the impression that I had a lot of conversations with the owner, Mr. Kawada this time.
I listened to his theory that the taste of sake does not change depending on the rice, and it was very convincing 😆.
And the backstage of a liquor store.
He really knows a lot about sake 😁.
Early Autumn reminds me of Mr. ●onda 🤣.
Hi bouken 😃
You've enjoyed chuin-san to the fullest that you even heard the theory that rice only affects at most 10-20% of the overall flavor of sake: ☺️
Hi Aladdin!
I wrote this as it was last year, as there were 10 varieties 😅They were talking about the taste that the brewer imagined as Omachi and Aizan, and it was a lot of fun 😆.
Good morning Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
I'm relieved there was Tochigi sake at the second meeting 🤗.
It's still too early to warm up. So it seems to be a concept sake to be drunk cold in early autumn 🤔.
After working the night shift, I had to work the next day in the morning as well, so I could finally relax in the evening: ‼️
We had a lot of meat dishes 🥩.
This day we had Asahi Kohsan, which Rigel gave us ❗As Asahi Kohsan is a first for us 🎵Rigel told us it goes really well with meat ✨.
Thank you so much Rigel 🙇🙇.
The spoils of winning mahjong🀄😏.
The moment I drank it, I was like "hmmm⁉️ first time feeling⁉️ like this ❤ never ❤😳" I don't have the feeling of sake⁉️ continue drinking it, it has an astringent taste like red wine but it's still a grain taste not grape‼️ but you are right, it goes well with meat😋 Red rice can not call itself Junmai, can it? I learned a lot 😌.
I'm glad to drink Asahi Xing which I've been wanting to try!
ROSSO is Italian for red! Rosso Bianco is AC Milan ⚽ I am a Juve fan of Bianconero ⚽
Good morning, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
Good work after a night shift 😌and congratulations on your first sensation🩷, Mr. First Asahi Xing ㊗️ 🎉But a nightcap from almost through 🍶Tough 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I was drunk on Tochigi sake 😋.
The reason I was able to work so hard was because I worked with this one thought in mind ❗ It was quite therapeutic ❗ ✌️
