Noge with his eldest son and his wife (1)
On Saturday, I received a line from my eldest son saying, "I'm thinking of going to a bedrock bath near our house on Sunday and would like to have dinner afterwards. (My wife went to Izumo where our daughter was staying. (My wife has gone to Izumo with our daughter and Takamatsu with her mother-in-law, so she invited me out since she is alone?)
I asked him, "Okay, what time? I asked him what time, and he said noon.
There are not many places near my house where you can drink from noon, so we ended up going to Noge.
First "shellfish" restaurant I've ever been to.
Kikuyu with hot sake (it was a little cold and rainy) 🍶.
My oldest son's wife is a sake drinker, so it was perfect!
This is my first time drinking it!
And I don't usually drink it hot, so I don't know what it is, but it's nice 😋.
I can feel the acidity. And the aroma comes in fluffy.
I guess I was right in heating it up.
Don't eat too much, let's go to the next restaurant!
Good morning, Takashi!
You and your eldest son have a wonderful relationship, taking me out for a drink just because I'm going to be in the neighborhood ✨.
I hope you had a good time drinking 😋.
It's a sake that goes well with heated sake: ✍️
Good morning, ma-ki-😊.
I don't know what you really think? But I don't think they don't hate me.
I'll be there again at the end of the month 😆.
Yesterday it was cold and rainy in Yokohama and the food matched the warmed sake 😋.
LOL!
I drank it before I took the picture, not caring that the 12 month challenge was over.
I ate my snacks before I could even taste them lol.
I have a favorite drink.
I have delicious food!
I am happy!

Mildly fragrant
Clear and dry mouthfeel
Gentle sweetness
Gentle rice aroma
Safe to drink
I thought about ranking them after drinking them throughout the year, but decided against it.
It is true that there is a distinct difference in taste. And that, I think, is the true appeal of sake made with the help of living creatures.

No scent this month

Dry as expected
Long aftertaste
This is for sashimi
I drank the same brand for 12 consecutive months. Other than the difference in the print on the label, there is no visible difference in taste every month, even though it is the same brand. I am looking forward to seeing which sake I can drink when, though my physical condition may have something to do with it.
However, there are some sake breweries that always make the same kind of sake, and that's great.
Kikusen from Aoshima Shuzo, which is within walking distance, is so delicious, or rather, it suits my palate. Thank goodness.
Anyway, I'll drink the December one again and announce the best three!
I don't think anyone is asking for it, but stay tuned!
When I enthusiastically told an acquaintance that I wanted to conquer sake from all over Japan at Sake-no-Wawa, he told me that he had a classmate who had a friend who had taken over a sake brewery and gave me a bottle of Kikusen.
Thanks to him, it was my first time in Shizuoka Prefecture🤣.
The taste is refreshing and easy to drink. It is light with a touch of sweetness, and I am sure it is easy to drink for first-timers as well.
It's really easy to drink. 〰︎
I loved it 😋.
