It's getting very autumnal at night, and our family finally opened a bottle of sake from Nagano, where we went in the summer.
On a night like this, we went to Yamame-san.
The liquor store we visited was polite and courteous even though we had never met before, and suggested that we might like this sake: ⁉️. There were many other sakes besides Yamame, such as Mangetsu, Kitsutsuki, and Raitori, but the store owner insisted on Yamame.
When I tried it, it was definitely right in the middle of my favorites 😋🩷.
The mild aroma is of fluffy sweet rice. When you drink it, the acidity is not too strong and the fresh sweetness is apple 🍎. As expected from Shinshu, they never miss apples ✨Thank you for introducing me to such a delicious sake 😆 Thank you 😆.
Since it was autumn, I tried my hand at saury this year, which I couldn't afford last year because it was too expensive. Grilling it over a charcoal fire makes it look like you're enjoying it with sake 😁.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
It's nice to have a drink with summer memories on an autumn evening 🤗I got your apple🍎 sensibility 😙.
Goooooood that the chargrilled saury is linked to the 🟥 and sakana on the label👍.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃 Indeed! The wild woman label and the charcoal autumn fish are a nice touch 😆 I think you two would like such a night, since I like it so much, so if you see them, please let me know!
October 17 was the annual supermoon for October's full moon: 🌕️
I was working at night on that day, so I decided to just look up at the moon, and the next day I had a cold-like symptom, so I rested for a few days.
Now that I'm feeling better, I'd like to go out and have a "moon-viewing party tonight" 😁Now, here's a drink 🍶🌕️

Also purchased at Jizakeya Miyajima, which we visited on our trip to Shinshu ✨.

The freshness of the sake goes without saying, but the apple-like aroma of rice that is typical of Shinshu sake is also noticeable in the nostrils.
[Tsuki no Oubai.]
The aroma of rice is like the flavor of apples, and the mouthfeel is deep and juicy, with a hint of apple flavor.
The first snowfall was observed in Hokkaido and the nights were getting colder, so we served miso-flavored "motsunabe" and sashimi of kochi (small fish) landed in Okayama Prefecture, which went well with the refreshing sweetness of the crunchy kochi meat.
On the back of the etiquette, "On a night like this, Prickly Ash also gazes up at the moon.
What a haiku linked to myself ✨!
Hi Gyve, good evening.
It was a supermoon. 🌕️
You took beautiful pictures, but you had a cold 💧.
I'm glad you are on the mend🍀.
Nagano sake, again, looks really delicious 😊.
Good evening, Jack 😃.
It's already winter ❄I need to change my tires 🚙.
I'm sure you'll have a great time with the warmth of the motsu nabe and a bottle of kochi sashimi 🍶✨.
Good evening, Gyve 😃
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better ☺️ Please continue to take care of yourself as it's easy to get sick with the change of seasons 😊.
This sake is also intoxicating 😄I would love to add some "Giant Salamander Konnyaku", a souvenir from Hiroshima 😁.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
It's a beautiful moon 🌕 that even the Prickly Ash looks up from the water 😌 though his eyes seem to have degenerated and he can't see much 😆.
I guess if you drink it, you can see the deliciousness in your mind's eye: ☺️
Mr. Jasiv.
Good morning...
The supermoon🌕️ was big and the mysterious color is also something to behold... 😁Monkey sake to go with it! I envy you 👍Kochi sashimi with it as a side dish...
Hi ma-ki, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Actually, my wife had a fever a little while ago, so she was home recovering, and I think she got it 🤧.
I was worried that my nose would get stuffy and I wouldn't be able to smell the aroma, but the slower I went, the more I was able to taste the sake!
Hello, Mr. Noodle Drink King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I saw on the news that the mountain pass was white with snow ☃️
It looks like Hokkaido's long winter is almost here ❄.
When it's cold, I guess it's all about nabe 😋.
Hi Aladdin!
It's been a while since I caught a cold, but I got better before I got very sick 😁.
[I looked up "giant salamander konnyaku" on the internet and it looks quite realistic 🤣.
I think it would be a surprise if I put it in a pot ✨.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
We had beautiful clear nights the last few days and enjoyed the beautiful moon 😁.
Maybe the salamanders could sense the moonlight transmitted to the bottom of the river 😁.
Hi Koizo!
It was a beautiful moonlit night as the air is so clean now that it's getting colder 😁.
I was at the fish store picking out some entrées when they happened to have kochi in stock ✨.
If they had sold it by the piece, I would have made it into a stew ✨.
This is the first sake I've seen whose naming is autumnal. It is recommended for people who don't drink sake very often. It was indeed sweet and tasty without any peculiarities! I felt the second half was a bit heavy on the palate, but good!
This is a series of animals looking at the moon.
On a night like this, Prickly Ash is also looking up at the moon...
Loose illustrations are cute 💕
The ginjo aroma reminds me of a light melon, the koji aroma and umami, the fine gas with a slight bubbling is gentle on the tongue, the mellowness of the oli, the light sweet and sourness with a light astringency, it's fresh and juicy 😚.
The other day....if you don't ride your bike because it's hot, please ride it because the carburetor clogs up with fuel 😉 I was won over by the fresh smile of the maintenance guy? I tried to ride in the evening... but it was so hot that I felt like I was in a sauna or a rock bath... I gave up after an hour 🥵About what I will do this summer 🥵〰︎
Hi Manachy 🐥.
Indeed! I was sweating waterfalls on the verge of a round cake 🥵I want to drink at night, so I think I can only ride in the mornings in the summer now. It's how we survive the record-breaking heat wave year after year 〰︎😩
First day at room temperature. Almost no aroma, but just a hint of apple.
When you drink it, the thickening of the wine clings to your tongue, followed by a sourness mixed with fruity sweetness and umami like apple cider vinegar, and then the spiciness comes in quite rapidly and finishes.
On the second day, it is heated, both at 40°C and 45°C. After the thickening, the umami expands slightly and the spiciness comes and goes. The fruitiness is almost gone. Personally, I prefer it at room temperature.
Everything is moderate, or rather, it does not have an impact, but it is an aged sake with an assertiveness that is unmistakably Nagano. It is an excellent sake that goes well with all kinds of dishes, from rich to light.
I felt full and sharp, on a night like this.... It is sweet, but the acidity is slightly stronger, so it is not emphasized and can be drunk smoothly. Sooooo refreshing as an impression. There is also an image of cleanliness and transparency. The alcohol content is a bit high at 16 degrees. Even so, it was a sake with no sake-like taste and no peculiarities.
