Today, December 20, is the last [new moon🌚] day of the year!
And in December, the end of the year, I have to leave my house early in the morning before the dark dawn.
In the midst of all this, I found a crescent moon☾ that seemed to climb up in the morning glow, so tonight, I'm going to have a moon-viewing drink🌛🍶 here tonight.
Yamashiroya Yukizen Orikagarami Nama
[I fell in love with the label when I went to Sake-no-Ten Hayashi to see some sake for New Year's greetings and got it. ✨️
[A glass.]
It has a full rice aroma, a soft, rounded, mildly fresh flavor, and a pleasantly fresh aftertaste.
[Mokkiri.]
A cool, clear rice aroma, a clean, fresh flavor that flows smoothly into the mouth, and a fresh, crisp finish with a pleasantly fresh aftertaste.
When mixed with orikomi, the juicy flavor and sweetness increases, while the sharpness and pleasant aftertaste remain unchanged.
The image of a very beautiful sake, with a clear outline and a fragile feeling that seems to disappear after it finishes, is suitable for drinking on a night when the moon rises.
The entrée is "Aji no tataki" (horse mackerel) and "Beef sinew stew" (beef sinew stew).
It would have been drunk even if I had them face off with Fukui's thick fried bean curd, which I later found out is Tochio's sake.
The fourth one, I usually prefer [tamago katsudon (top katsudon)] to the local soul food [sauced pork cutlet bowl] 🍜.
It's been a while since I had lunch at my favorite pork cutlet restaurant in the prefecture [Katsuyoshi] 😋.
Hi Jive 😃
Choosing a drink to match the month is so cool ✨.
As always, all the snacks to go with it look so delicious, I'm drooling too 🤤.
The last new moon of the year... I think I'll open that one 🌚.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
I'm a sucker for katsudon, so I was attracted by the picture 😅I've always wanted to try Europa-ken's sauce katsudon once in Fukui, but this one looks delicious too...beautiful label by Yamashiroya!
Good evening, Jive😄.
It was the last new moon of the year 🥰.
I have learned a lot this year from you, Jive, who combines the moon and alcohol 📚.
I admire your way of drinking with meaning 🤩I must learn from you ‼️
Good evening, Mr. Jive!
I am very busy, but I am very impressed with your dedication to the new moon 🌑🍶.
I can't see the moon from my balcony or front porch, so this was a good opportunity for me to learn more about the moon 🙇.
The combination of the two looks delicious 🤤.
Hi Jive 😃.
It's a busy Master's Day 🥲 about a week to go! Let's keep up the good work ‼️ and the charming third photo😍I'll be having katsudon for lunch today 🤗.
Hi, Chesta!
Half of it is just an excuse to drink, but it also helps me to make drunken decisions when I'm trying to decide which one to drink 🥰.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to open: ✨️
Hello ichiro18!
[I see we are fellow [katsudon] lovers 🍜.
Some restaurants in my hometown in Fukui have variations such as "sauce katsu with egg" or "sauce in the broth of tamago katsu-don" 🥰.
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I'm always checking my phone to see if I can match the [age of the moon] since I call myself a [tsukimi-sake] 🥰.
I've already secured the sake since the [full moon] will come on the third day of the year after the new year: ✨️
Hi ma-ki-!
When I go outside, I try to look at the sky first, so I check the moon I see at that time 🥰.
This was my first "Yamashiroya" and I feel that it is a sake from a land of deep snow and beautiful water ✨️
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I'm really surprised that this year will be over in less than 10 days 😲.
[I feel like I'm eating ramen and katsudon (pork cutlet bowl) next to curry 🤣.

This is the second bottle of the Imameya hanpukai.
The brand name is Yamashiroya, which is a first for me - Ipponshigiri, which is also a first for me 🌾.
First of all, the bottle is clear and beautiful✨.
And the taste is classical and suitable for a mealtime drink.
This is my favorite taste 😍.
Today's main course was sashimi and mackerel stew, so I chose this sake as it would be perfect as a mid-meal drink! 🌝 I expected Niigata's test sake to leave some light and dry taste, and I was right 🌝 It is not sweet like today's sake, but it is easy to drink! It was a good sake.
Yamashiroya Rusui Imameya Hanpukai Limited Stock
Brewed with TR8 (Niigata yeast) and 60% polished rice from Ipponshime sake rice.
This is the first time I've had it, but the slightly sweet, moderate acidity and bitterness spread out in a well-balanced manner, and it was surprisingly well received.

A mountain castle shop that asks to be there.
This large mountain label is,
"Back to the mountains, back to the roots."
A bottle of Yamashiroya's new challenge.
The new Yamashiroya aims to return to its roots. Embraced by the rich mountains of Tochio, Niigata, and supported by the life-giving water and soil of the region, we have now returned to the "mountains" once again.
The label is decorated with a design that symbolizes "mountain," the hometown of sake.
