Thanks for a great week 🍶 This week has been a bit hectic, but next week is the mountain and I will do my best.
I'm not in perfect condition, but that's when you should drink good sake and be healed.
It's been a while since I had a glass of Shinmasa. It's the first Viridian I've had at home.
The aroma is sweet and sour with a hint of apricot, yogurt, and cypress. On the palate, it disappears nicely with a sweet and sour hint of sourness. I think there was more apricot residue when I drank the flax cat series, but this one is clean and delicious. I've paired it with braised turnips, fried lettuce with oyster, and Iburi Goko cheese, and it's delicious✨.
Good evening 🎵
I know this is out of the blue, but are you free on Friday, 12/5? I'm looking for people who can have a drink in Kannai (currently 3 people).
Shinsei Ten Frog
It took quite a long time to open the bottle...(the longest ever?)
↑As you can see on the top, it has a solid gasiness! (Still, the sweetness and acidity are understandable! As the back label says, there is a mild and thick sweetness like honey in the aftertaste! 🍯)
No weight at all, so you can drink it nice and smooth! 🥰)
Thanks as always to the liquor store! 🙇

Yonokotori, which was also raised by Ahuio.
There was also Kalora with it.
I've never had both so I got them 🤗.
⚫︎Karora
They use a type of koji mold called kumonosukabi 🤔.
When they say "kabi", it makes me go "mmmm ❗️" 😅.
Now, as for the taste, it has a lemon-like sourness and a slight sweetness 🍋.
A little bit of the usual wooden vat aroma.
It's more refreshing than the usual Shinsei 😁.
⚫︎Yonono Kotori
The bottle is thicker 🧐.
I didn't know they had such a size 🧐.
As for the taste, it's less sweet than the Yonokotori, and the carbonation is stronger and shuffling 🫧.
The strength of the carbonation distracted me and I thought I couldn't face the sake 🙄.
...and I'm going to comment on one thing 😆.
Good evening, Hiro 😌.
Hi, Hiro-san! I see you also drank the Hanpukai Shinsei 🍶.
I think the new one was a bit more carbonated this time 🤔.
I was able to drink it in large gulps because it was not alcoholic and had a weak sweetness 😋.
Good morning, Afuio 😃.
I would drink it if it was called a hanpukai 😇
It's true that it's highly carbonated, but the alcohol content is low so it's easy to drink 😋.
Too bad it's a trial version 🥲I hope they continue to release it 😆.
Has a fizzy feeling.
Slightly more fizzy than other Shinsei.
It seems to have just a little bit of a trompe l'oeil taste. (It's just my imagination).
The sweetness of the rice can be felt from the aroma.
Anyway, it is juicy and makes you realize that this is what Akita rice is all about.
Oh, it's delicious.
It is served cold in the mouth,
You can feel the process that the temperature rises little by little and the aroma becomes stronger.

Bitterness★☆☆☆☆

Recommendation⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Slightly effervescent.
The freshness of the sake is strong due to the fact that it is only a pure sake.
The aftertaste is refreshing.
You can drink as much as you want.
You can taste the umami of rice and the roundness of the rice.
It would be better at a cooler temperature than at a snow-cooler temperature, as the aroma can be felt more clearly.

Shinsei Yononokotori
Sake from the Shinmasa Hanpukai 🍶 I had the Karoura at another place before, so this time I'll have the Yonokotori.
I drank Karoura at another place before, so this time I'll have Yonokotori (-ө-).
It's moderately priced, but it's a precious Yonokotori, so I won't spare it. 🐦🔥
The aroma is weak, but there is an apple-like fruitiness in the aroma 🍎.
The taste is light and gaseous with pineapple and green apple flavors combined with acidity and 8% alcohol.
Good evening, Mr. Afio 😃.
I would like to drink Yonotori at least once 🥰The price was 2200 yen for 90ml at the restaurant where I drank today...............................I guess drinking outside is over 700 yen for 30ml 👍I am glad I could compare
Good evening ichiro18 😌.
It's a Yononotori, so maybe the price is different from Yonotori 😭
Yonotori is still quite expensive due to its rarity and taste 🤔.
I also want to drink Yonotori again 😋✨
Ahuio, you are right 😳It was Kotori, wasn't it? I don't know about Shinmasa and Jyushiyo because they are also priced at a premium 😅I learned a lot about Yono-Kotori too.
I didn't expect to find flax cat sparkle.
The aroma is fresh and light, like champagne or a crisp white wine.
I love the acidity and the shrieking gas. A little bit of nigori? There is also a milky flavor that seems to be slightly cloudy. It has an indescribable unique flavor.
Personally, I love it.
