I went to the pottery market in Mashiko with my daughter and a colleague. It was so crowded that it was hard to reach the market.
It must be a big event.
It was fun to see the artists' pottery.
We went to Sotaike Brewery for a tasting since it was close by.
It had a refreshing sourness.
Delicious ♡♡♡!
Good evening, Tsubu-chan... ☺️ I was at the main pottery market on that day, so I was close by.
I'll visit you....
I'm sad that I can't buy the hope...
This time, it is a pure Yamahai Junmai from Sanbaku.
At the Takashimaya Sake Festival,
When I visited Nozomu at the Takashimaya Sake Festival, I took home a bottle of this popular Tochigi Prefecture limited edition sake, which they claimed to have only one bottle left and no more available for tasting.
From Takashimaya to Tochigi Love ❤️
It is served at room temperature.
Pale crystal yellow in color.
The top aroma is of grapefruit, ripe banana, and bay leaf, and the rice feeling is freshly pounded rice cake.
The mouthfeel is stimulating, like a fine fizzy sensation. Fresh and rich acidity spreads from the citrus aroma, and the mild umami of the rice flows smoothly with a refreshing finish.
No wonder this light and fresh Yamahai was so popular.
I've burned myself out studying and drinking during the first two weeks of October.
I will work properly from tomorrow!
A lesson learned this time.
Don't take the last train two trains before the last one. You'll miss it.
Good evening, Peco 🦉.
How is the pain in your hand? I'll leave the 🥺 last train behind and thank you for your study 😊.
This sake is soooo popular 😳I would like to try the Yamahai, which looks easy to drink!
Good evening, Pon-chan. Thanks to the alcohol disinfection afterwards, my hands are much better 🤣"Nozomu" itself is very tasty, and "Sanbana" is also easy to drink, so I think it would go well with Italian or western style dishes 😊.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
I haven't had the chance to try the Tochigi limited edition sake 🍶‼️ which is also popular in the Kansai region😅Light and fresh Yamahai🤗It looks delicious😙!
I got the Tochigi love 🥰 from Takashimaya 👋.
Hello, Jay & Nobby. I see that Sanbana is very popular in Kanto as well. I guess people who know about it bought it and it was the last one 🤔Tochigi love from Takashimaya 💕It was delicious 😊.

One of the recommended breweries in the local Tochigi Prefecture. We are happy to see that they have recently won awards at international competitions and their name has been selling well. The summer version is more sharp.
Seishun 18 Kip, Trip to Sake Breweries
Brewery in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, famous for Mashiko ware.
Chose this sake after free and paid tasting
I like the taste with a hint of sweetness
Also got a sake seal book label
Faint apricot? Slightly subdued fruitiness. When I drank it at an event in town last year, it seemed a bit fresher, but there is a sense that it has aged slightly.
It has a slightly gassy feeling, a soft and long-lasting citrus acidity, and a gentle sweetness that is well-balanced and expands in the mouth. It was a delicious sake with a malted rice aroma and a firm full-bodied flavor.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐥.
I think it's the temperature of the fridge? I think it might have aged a bit 😅I think it's better to drink seasonal sake right away 😚.
I went to the warehouse and got it. It was a visitor-friendly facility. But it was nice and did not feel strongly commercial. This sake has a reasonable aroma, a good sweetness from the rice, but it has a nice finish, and can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake or on its own. Delicious, highly recommended.
The raw material is "Yumesasara" from Tochigi Prefecture. The nose is subtle, but the fruit aroma spreads gently on the palate.
The taste is full of rice flavor with a mild and well-balanced aftertaste." (from the official website)
It has a good amount of acidity and a strong flavor.
It seems to go well with meat.
