Two weeks ago, Peco-san came to Tokyo and I joined the Sake-no-wa Off-line meeting for the first time.
We drank a lot of sake, but the most memorable one was Shinmasa Sanso 2022🍶 brought by Rigel-san.
The aroma on the nose was sweet with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, it has a slight woody feel with a slight carbonic acidity.
Mild sweetness with a hint of acidity.
It was wonderfully preserved and drinkable and delicious. ✨️🍶
Thanks Rigel for your precious sake😊.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. Thank you very much for joining us the other day for a fun and scattered drinking party 🤣I remember Shinmasa's Sansho too, it was delicious 😊Please have a drink with him again if you have a chance 🙏.
Shinsei Karoura
Timely submission after a long time
I've had this Karoura before. I was curious about it because I saw it at Starbucks.
I was curious about it because I saw it at Starbucks, so I ordered it to see how it changes after a little while after opening.
The previous Karoula was a soft drink with a lot of coolness, but this time it tasted different 😳.
Less refreshing, but juicier instead ✨.
Personally, I prefer this one by far 😋.
I guess Shinsei is "made" by aging 🤔...
This is one of my three favorites personally, it's so good and easy to drink!
I wish they would just make the Karoura and deliver it to my house 🥹.
Unusual food we ate this day
tiger globefish (poisonous fish, Takifugu rubripes)
venison
And Kitami white onion 🤍.
Sweet and delicious!
This should be the last sake of the day!
Please fry some more tempura instead 🍤.
The last sake of the day is Junmai-shu made with white malted rice
Amaneko (flax cat)
It was the first sip!
Enjoy the indescribable acidity of white malted rice!
The sardine tempura was also excellent!
We made a reservation for Christmas Eve 🧑🎄, so we will come dressed as Santa Claus and bring presents!

I was eating more and more tempura when things got a little hectic and the restaurant started to buzz.
The master brought in a big bag and brought out a big piece of venison.
Would you like some venison?
Oh, you can eat it here?
He introduced us to a delicious venison that a hunter friend of his had killed and properly drained the blood out of it, so we had no reason to refuse!
He cooked it just in time and served it to us!
On the way to the restaurant, we were recommended to taste it after dipping it in a little bit of brandy!
The drink was definitely Viridian.
Mr. and Mrs. Mexican Tequila drank the first three drinks, but Mr. Niimasa did not!
We ate venison and drank Niimasa and had a blissful time!
By the way, I hadn't had Viridian since I visited Sakura in June with Mr. Bec and Mr. Mexican Tequila!
It is becoming a brand that is hard to find!

Good morning, Shinshin SY! I see you know Mr. Mexican Tequila😃Surprise venison looks delicious😋So, I heard Mr. Hotei is opening a new restaurant at APA Hotel in Sapporo: 🍽️
Good morning, Masaaki Sapporo. Mr. Mexican Tequila and Mr. Bec are my friends from the baseball team in high school. It was my first time to eat venison at Sakura. It was delicious 😌It seems it is due to the renovation of the main store in Habukuro 🤡.
Continue,
Everyone loves Shinsei🍶sama 💖.
I have a lot of it at home, but I still want to drink it 🤣.
Because it tastes so good ❣️
The second one is Kaburajima Shrine ⛩️✨
Worship and a morning stroll ☺️
The view was great and the sea breeze felt so nice ‼️
The 3rd and 4th pictures are from Tsukiu Shokudo 🍚💕, which was told to me by the King of Aomori 👑chika.
To be honest, it was the most delicious and impressive meal of the trip 🥹.
Thanks chika for telling me about it 🙇♂️
Shinsei and 14yo🤔🍶⁉️⁉️
Where is it 😭😭😭
King of Aomori👑😳⁉️⁉️
If the King of Fukushima👑 says so... 😏.
You'll just have to accept it: 🙆🏻
I forgot to tell you about the place that serves marinated flatfish on rice 😭💔.
Tsukiu was delicious😊👍🍶✨✨
I've never seen this color in Colors before.
Citrusy, juicy, fresh, sweet and sour.
Wow, that's all I can say about the taste!
I took my time to enjoy it as I knew there would be no more next time!
The sea eel sashimi was also delicious!

This is my first time drinking tangerine. This sake has a pleasant sweetness and acidity.
The citrusy aroma like mandarin oranges and oranges, the acidity, and the slightly bitter taste make it refreshing and easy to drink.
It refreshed the oiliness of the duck hot pot and both the hot pot and sake were delicious.
The exquisite bitterness is delicious.
It has been a while since I had a bottle of Shinsei.
The last time I drank Flaxcat was last June, so it has been a year and a half since I last had it.
It is hard to believe that it is made from rice, as the color of the label suggests, it tastes sweet and sour like plums and cherries. At the same time, the aroma of the wooden vat is clearly noticeable.
This fruitiness and transparency in a freshly opened bottle of Shinmasa is hard to find elsewhere.
It tastes transparent when it is freshly snow-cold from the refrigerator, but when you raise the temperature by wrapping your hand around the glass, a complex and diverse array of aroma and flavor elements bloom like flowers in a field of grass.
It transcends the boundaries of sake and is outstandingly delicious as a beverage. Come to think of it, when you are drinking Niimasa, you may not be tasting it on the scale you usually do when drinking sake.
In my current sphere of activity, Shinsei is only available in a tying-up package. It is a higher hurdle than Jyushiyo and Jikin.
When will I be able to find which Shinsei next?
I will wait without expectation.
