I had it cold on New Year's Eve when I went home to my parents' house.
The aroma was not so strong, but I could directly feel the deliciousness of the rice in my mouth.
It was served after dinner, so there was only nuts left for sake, and I regret that I could not pair it with the sashimi and roast beef that were served for dinner. I paired it with nuts, but it was dry and sharp.
The last of this year's sake!
Purchased directly from the brewery! It is dark and full of umami. It has a green apple-like taste, a good balance of bitterness and acidity, and is strong, so drink it slowly.
I went to Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen on the last day of my trip!
It's been a few years since I stayed here, but I feel at ease as if it were my parents' home since I've been coming here since I was a child.
After enjoying a day trip to a hot spring and a stay at a hot spring hotel, we enjoyed a buffet and our first brand of Tochigi sake 🍶.
The aroma was refreshing.
It has a spicy, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili taste. It has a sweet taste like sugar cane and the richness and moistness of rice, making it a standard sake for a meal!
The sweetness becomes more petite when heated up, but I enjoyed it with fried tofu!
I'll be back again next year!
Good evening, Mr. stst 🌙
I love a relaxing hot spring hotel that feels like a family home☺️Tsanbana to go with your meal, looks delicious✨.
Sake is the best after warming up in a hot spring 🥳♨️
Good evening, Kotaro-san!
It may be a common trend, but I enjoyed a nice hot meal and sake ✨.
There's nothing like a drink and time spent at the wide-open porch of a hot spring hotel 😌.
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 😚.
