Cornerstone Fest 2025."
I like the name "Kaku-uchi Fest 2025".
It also raises expectations for the taste: ⤴️
It has a refreshing sweetness and a slight bitterness 😙.
The bitterness is an accent. I wonder if it represents whispering something 🤔.
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like a drunk 🤪.
It tasted like it would be interesting as a food wine 🤗.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😄.
The quiet Japanese room is so elegant. You may indeed hear whispers: 🙂↕️
I think "sake rustling" makes it sound like a red-lantern izakaya 🏮🤣.
Hello, Hiro-san. I also drank a different kind of sake last time, Kurobekyo. I recommend you to drink Toyama sake with kombujime sashimi 😁. A glass of Kombushime with ginger soy sauce is delicious 😊.
Hi Tatsun 😃.
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏.
Kombu-shime sashimi and ginger soy sauce. ❗️ I'll look for a restaurant that does Toyama's local cuisine or I'll just go to Toyama 🚃😆.
Finally, the snow has settled down and we have a break in the snow. Today, a national holiday, the weather was good during the day for the first time in a long time, and we were expanding the area that had been minimally plowed while the children played in the snow 😁.
Well, last Sunday, my siblings gathered at my parents' house and we all had a potluck party 🍲.
It's been a while since I've had a light drink with my dad, so he brought out some sake for us to share 🍶.
Kurobe Gorge Junmai Ginjo 55.
One of my dad's former business associates now lives in Toyama and sends us sake from Toyama several times a year 🥰.
It has a fruity rice aroma, a mild, clear sweetness and full-bodied taste, and a gently sweet aftertaste.
Personally, I feel that the water quality of the sake is like that of a drunken environment.
I feel the sweetness is similar to "Haneya", maybe it is evidence of the delicious water from the Tateyama mountain range, although the land is far away 🤔.
This time I followed Ane-san's example and took a one-handed shot of a bottle, but if you think about it, I'm grabbing it from above💦.
The third photo was taken when the snowfall was at its peak.
The fourth picture is the result of shoveling snow with my smartwatch set to muscle training, which is about the same load as a slow walk ✨.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve!
I am glad to hear that the snow has stopped ⛄
The snowy landscape with sunshine is beautiful🍀!
I imagine that the sake has a strong rice flavor 😋.
It's a good time to drink with your family 😊.
Hi Gyve 😃
I see you got quite a bit of snow on your roof 😳This snow removal is going to be tough 💦It's not going to be a slow walk 😓I hope the sweet afterglow has soothed you for a while 😚.
Hi, ma-ki-.
I took this picture during a moment of sunshine 📸.
It's beautiful when you look at it like this, but I really don't want to shovel snow anymore this year 🤣 cold weather is forecasted again next week!
Hello Pon, ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It's hard to tell the border between the rice field next to you and the road 😅.
Not here, but every year there are cars that run into the rice fields, so you need to be very careful when driving on snowy roads✨.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
We got quite a bit of snow, but thank goodness it wasn't enough to have to take the snow off the roof 😁.
When we had the heavy snowfall in 2018, we had to climb the roof to take the snow down or the house would collapse 😅.
Today I had Kurobekyo, which my brother gave me as a souvenir from Toyama.
The aroma is weak. It has the image of traditional sake made a little easier to drink. When you drink it, you feel sweetness for a moment, but soon you feel alcohol and bitterness. However, the feeling is weak, so it is easy to drink.
As for the snack, I first had some fish paste, and then I paired it with some pickled Chinese cabbage flavored with soy sauce that I made myself.
Personally, I felt that the pickles neutralized the alcohol and gave the sake a sweeter aftertaste than drinking the sake by itself.
I felt that this is an interesting sake that becomes even easier to drink depending on how it is paired.
