Today I am visiting Unagidani in Shinsaibashi for drinking alone.
I have been wanting to go there once and finally did.
The style is to choose and order from a large refrigerator.
Since I was there, I ordered a Cosmos label from Shinmasa Sake Brewery's COLORS, which I have never had before.
So, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
In the mouth, citrusy grapefruit-like sweetness and astringency~.
It is already too delicious.
It was like a quintessential Niimasa.
The acidity is also present, and the sake is truly refreshing and tasty from start to finish.
It is the best for lunchtime drinking.
Hi ma-ki-, 😃I like the one-person drinking Niimasa ❣️ 👍Is there a big fridge with a lot of different kinds of sake? Sounds like a fun place 😆The cosmos is also excellent 😍It's going to be hard to choose which sake to drink next to the Shinsei 😅.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
The website seems to have about 100 different kinds in the fridge ⤴️
I would like to drink only Shinsei, but I will have several kinds 🎵.
Shinsei's first COLORS were delicious!
Hello na-ki-chan ^_^
I checked out Unagidani-san and they have the best selection in Osaka, you certainly make me want to go there 😊.
Cosmos from noon is the best ✨
Hi ma-ki-😃
You have the best way to spend your day off, alone, out for a lunchtime drink and a new policy 😆.
You don't have to be careful and I'd like to try it sometime.
Thanks for your comment Manta.
Yes, it is true! I wanted to go there at least once, not only because of the variety, but also because they seem to have rare drinks 🎵.
My first visit to Cosmos was great to say the least 😊.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
I'm either alone or with my wife, and while I don't know what to expect at a new restaurant, it's a good time to focus on drinking ✨.
I hope you'll try it too, soumacho! You'll be hooked😊.
Congratulations on your first cosmos, ma-ki-! 🎉It's delicious 😋, light yet tasty and gorgeous ✨️ I'd like to try drinking it alone when I'm a bit more experienced!
Thanks for your comment Nao888.
It was my first Cosmos label and it was a really delicious drink✨.
You don't need experience to drink alone, just jump right in 😁✨✨.
It's easy and fun 😊
Good evening, ma-ki-chan🌛.
I went to Unagidani before the summer and found it to be a drunken izakaya with good sake and food 😁.
I was impressed by the group of foreign tourists next door who were enjoying trying different kinds of sake ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Gyve.
Gyve you also had a lot of drinks at Eel Dasan 😁✨✨.
We went there in the oven, so there were not many customers, so it was a nice place to relax and enjoy 😊.
Akihabara with a customer (1)
Yesterday and today, I worked at a customer's place in Akihabara.
After the work was finished, the client invited me to have a meeting over dinner,
We went to a soba restaurant (I like the combination of soba and sake)
After a while, the customer knew what he was doing and asked me if I wanted to start drinking sake (I was waiting for him).
(I've been waiting for you 😆🍶)
I had a hunch that this place would serve Shinsei.
Today's sake was Shinsei Cosmos!
The rice is modified Nobukou, Association No. 6 yeast.
The first sip!
Sourness at first.
There is sweetness too.
I can't remember exactly what it tasted like before.
It's a little apricot.
Thanks for the treat! 🥰
Good morning, Takashi-san.
Soba and Sake go well together. ⤴️
It's my favorite combination too 🎵
And I'm so jealous of your great restaurant that they serve Shinmasa 😊.
I'm in the mood for a drink today✨
So open a bottle here💁Shinmasa ❣️
It's been a while since I've had it, but it's still delicious 😋.
I love the sweetness, the gentle acidity, and the umami 😆👍.
Hello Mr. Muro 😃
It's good to have a drink that can stand alone without any side dishes when you're in the mood for a drink 🤗 we were just talking about that last night 😄.
Hi Dr. Jay & Nobby 🙂.
You're right 🤔There might be a lot of that kind of sake from Fukushima 🍶 ❣️ I had two bottles of Yonotori and I wanted to drink it 😂.
Lately I've been into Sentori and cheese-based 😆.
I started Sake-no-Wa in June and thought it would be easy to buy the #1 ranked sake 🍶 I didn't know anything about sake 😓.
This is my first Shinmasa 😄I could see why it was #1!
It's too good 😁.
Hi Akiyoshi 😃
It's great that you can drink the number 6 at home in less than half a year since you started sakenois 👍It took us about 2 years to bring you home after we were impressed with it outside 😅.
It's been a long time since I drank Colors...
It's so good that I think it's the only sake I can drink! Shinsei is exceptional.
I used to like Cosmos, but nowadays I like Ecru.
The last one is "Viridian" from Shinsei, which is also No. 1 in Sake-no-wa.
It has a very strong mouthfeel, or should I say, a very strong aftertaste. Delicious.

Lingering Yes, lactic acid lingering
Impression Fruity
Niimasa is often associated with the image of muscat.
With a high level of acidity and moderate sweetness, it has a body and fullness that one would not expect from a 13° alcohol content.
Quite good as an aperitif.
It's been quite a while since I had a drink at Yonotori 😃.
I remember it was delicious, but I think I was hesitant to drink it because it was a kijo sake.
I should update my memory of the sake,
"Isn't it juice?
It's still delicious, but if I had it at home, I'd probably choose the occasion to drink it.
I always wanted to drink Shinsei.
It came to my house.
It is delicious 😋I can't express how delicious it is.
I feel like drinking it slowly and leisurely all the time.
