On Saturday the 22nd
Toast Festa 2024" on Saturday the 22nd.
I participated in the "Toast to Local Sake in Tochigi 2024" on Saturday the 22nd 😄♪
The show started at 15:00 on that day.
I took the train to get there on time 🚃.
When I arrived at Tobu-Utsunomiya station
Jay & Nobby welcomed us 🤗Arigato ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.
When I arrived at the venue, Higu and Nanoha, who had also attended the previous day's event, were there.
Higu and Nanoha
Now that all the members are here, we should have a toast 😁🥂.
This time we decided to drink something we've never had before.
I decided to drink something I've never had before, so my first choice was
Toukishi Drunken Summer ✨🍉✨🥂✨.
Refreshing aroma like green apple ✨🥂✨.
Smooth on the palate
Gentle sweet and sour and very easy to drink 😋.
It was over in no time 😆😆.
Yes, next 😆 😆 😆
Good morning, Tsubu 🐥.
I see we all joined in on this day 😊🍉 Cheers! That's so summery 🎐I'm curious about this drink and I'm looking forward to ❣️ drinking offline (lol) and the rest 😊🎶.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄
We contacted each other beforehand on the kenmin-kai line to see which one we were going to 😉.
It was 🍉 delicious 😋 this time I tried a drink I've never had before 😉👍
Wiping out caution, but East Rikishi does not wipe out at all.
Almost no aroma.
Drinking only the supernatant, it has a slightly sweet taste, no sourness, and a little bitterness.
When mixed, it has a gentle sweetness, no sourness, and a little bitterness.
Anyway, it is thick. ‼️
It is a slightly sweet rice juice with a sloppy texture.
It's 19 degrees, so if you drink it like a juice, it will knock you down 🤣.
Hi Maru 🐦.
This sake! It was one of the top 3 tastiest and most memorable offline 😊👍It's like amazake 😆.
It looked like it would take an awful long time to open the bottle, but is it easy? 😳
The meeting with Mr. Gura (2)
By the way, we didn't have the customary sake run seat change time 😳?
By the middle of the party, I was feeling good and just sat around and drank at random 🤭.
It's like amazake with a touch of alcohol!
It has a smooth texture and a sweet taste, which I like, so I think I'm going to gobble it up... but it's between 19 and 20 degrees of alcohol!
Dangerous 😱.
The third one is a sweet shrimp beaver given to me by Jive!
I love the taste ❣️
They used to sell it at Station Seven during the winter but I haven't seen it lately, so I'm very happy!
Thanks for the treat 🙏.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Pon-chan is like that! Ohohohohohohoho❤
Ah!" I realized that after a couple of stiff drinks, I forgot about Scarry😇☝.
Hi, Pon-chan!
[I thought the sweet shrimp beaver was only available in Fukui, but it seems it was sold at some Seven stores in the Kinki area 💦.
I thought it would be a good, easy-to-understand souvenir of Fukui 😁.
Thank you for this one too, Gyve 😊.
Maybe it was the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension 🤔Beaver itself is not sold in my neighborhood, so I was very happy to see this limited edition 😆Thanks for the food 😊🙏.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I'm new to drinking 🦍🦍🦍 I'm also new to drinking 😆 I'm offline so it's just a tchotchke, but drinking at home would be stressful because I want to drink but am too scared to drink 😂.
But I want to drink Tochigi love 🥰.
Pon, here too😄!
Thanks for the Tochigi love♡ 🥰.
I've never had any Tochigi sake 😅I'm going to a local sake event in Utsunomiya today and tomorrow, so I'd like to try it if it's there 😋.
Thanks, Tsubu 🥰.
Tochigi sake event! I can't resist 😻
I've only had this one 🦍🦍🦍 and it was delicious 🦍❣️ you'd probably like it too 😊👍I'd like to try the clear sake 🎶
Thank you for coming! Off-line meeting of Kansai Sakewa
The meeting with Mr. Gura (⑫)
While I was visiting the refrigerator, I saw a brand that was not on the menu and I had never seen the label before, so I asked about it and was told I could order it.
Tourikishi Tropical Junmai Sake Drunken Summer
The first aroma was sweet and tropical. It has a mild sweetness on the palate, and because it is a summer sake, it is refreshing.
It was not very cold as I just put it in the fridge, so it might have had a watermelon flavor if I drank it a little cooler 🤔.
From Kansai 💕Tochigi love 💕🤗
Tochigi sake.
It's our first time!
It has a sweet apple-like flavor and aroma that wafts through the nose.
It is fruity and yet crisp, so it does not interfere with meals!
The fact that it's ogara-mesh is a plus!
This is better served in a glass.
Tochigi Ai
Good morning, Bosuke 😃!
Congratulations on your first East Rikishi ㊗️ 🎉Our first time was also a very drop First Drop 🤗my memory is fading now 😅Full sharpness is good 😋.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I'm not sure what to buy these days, so I went for Tochigi sake anyway.
You have to try it to discover what you're looking for 💡.
Hello, Bousuke!
I drank the first "Tourikishi" at an off-line meeting the other day, but it was a nigori, so I wondered what other kinds of nigori were available 😊Origarami looks very tasty! I hope you can find it near ❣️ 〰😂.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I tend to be cautious about new brands, but I took the plunge because it's Tochigi sake.
Once you drink it, you won't want to try anything else 🤔😋.

I've been impatiently making snacks since I got back home: ‼️←Go to sleep!
When I got into sake a long time ago
I bought a strange kind of sake when I got into sake a long time ago and kept it in the fridge.
I thought it would go well with smoked fish, so I opened it.
I looked at it carefully and realized it was made 10 years ago.
I'm sure it's going to be delicious 🥹💖.

Summer sake debut with a cute name too!
It was decorated with "Drunken Summer" 🍉 by Azuma Rikishi 🌻.
FujiFuji-san, who is well respected for his knowledge of sake
The way he takes pictures is always excellent, so I respect him a lot 🍋.
I respect his photography.
The meeting with Mr. Gura (⑨)
Nemuchi-san activates his skill and discovers an off-menu sake in the restaurant's refrigerator!
I asked her about it and she said I could order it 😁.
The label looks like a summer sake!
Slightly smells like watermelon 🤔.
Slightly sweet and bitter 🤔.
Second bottle of Tochigi Ai 🥰 this day
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Kansai has almost no special dealers, so East Rikishi is very valuable 😆.
Please add them to the drunken summer and summer sake festival 😁.
Kansai Salmon Wagura Gathering (7)
We were about halfway through the meeting when we had a drink of a slightly different kind of sake.
Higashi-Rikishi Nigori-shu (Nigori-shu) Active Nama-shu.
This was the first time I had tasted "Toryokushi" 🎉 or rather, I had never heard of this sake until this time 😲.
The aroma was not assertive, but the mouthfeel was rich with umami and sweetness, followed by the aroma of rice through the nose and the bitterness that lingered in the throat.
The mildness reminds me of doburoku or amazake ✨.
However, it is a gentle drink that is hard to believe that it is over 19 degrees, and if you drink it too fast, you might get drunk later.
The label is also stylish with two gorillas and "Nigori-shu", which is a love for Tochigi🥰.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Congratulations on your first East Rikishi at the offline meeting ㊗️🎉🦍🦍🤗!
bouken and Gyve are both Tochigi lovers with the same East Rikishi 🥰 too happy 🥹.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
That was delicious 🦍🦍🦍sake 😁.
You and bouken were at the same table, so I think our posts will have almost the same feel, but bouken's is more detailed!
The meeting with Mr. Gura (7)
I remember tasting this at last year's traveling SAKE.
Thick like makgeolli or doburoku. It's thick and gassy.
It's about 20 degrees Celsius, so a dangerous one.
I felt it had a pretty strong alsobe feeling.
Fire-brewed nigori is easier to drink.
I've been drinking Tochigi Ai🥰 since March.
Toukishi Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Nakadori Hayasokujime Ichi-hiiru
Unfiltered raw sake 3,520 yen
Today's snacks are homemade pizza and yam.
The aroma is a light ginjo aroma, and the first attack is a tight taste and a strong sweetness, followed by a strong bitterness, and the richness lingers in the mouth for a long time.
Since the first glass was a smooth sake, the richness stood out even more, making it more of a sake to be sipped with a pinch of sake than a mealtime drink.
