The second drink was a sake from my hometown Izumisano, Osaka.
This was my first time drinking it, and it is sweet, fruity, and so delicious. 🙆♂️
It tasted similar to the first cup of Nanamizu, with no bitterness after drinking, and to be honest, it exceeded my expectations.
It was a gift from a junior colleague at work.
I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor.
It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊.
It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌
I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.
Hi, Maru-san 😀
I think a bottle of sake gives you a lot of challenges and a different kind of fun 😀.
I was also disappointed the other day when I heated up two rabbits even though I knew it was a bad idea, but it's fun to challenge yourself 😀.
Good morning, Yasube, ☀️
One of the best things about sake is that you can try so many different things 😊.
Heating sake with two hares, sounds like it takes a lot of courage 🤣.
Maru-san has a sake cellar!
I love it!
I love it!
We have a vegetable compartment in our fridge 😭
And we can only stock up to 3 bottles because 1/4 of it is occupied all the time😭.
Hello Sake Run, ☀️
A reward for 100 check-ins? I bought it with my own money (← this is important) with my wife's permission 🤣.
I'm curious about your nush in the vegetable room, Mr. Lan 🧐.
Shonosato Kita Series
Junmai Namaisake
Much smoother and tastier on the palate than I had imagined from the label.
It is a strange sake that passes smoothly on the tongue, and one can only taste the umami without stimulating any part of the palate.
I feel that because the sake tastes so good, it would be better with a side dish that doesn't interfere too much with the taste, but I also feel that this sake is the kind of sake that accepts strong, dark flavors.
When you put it in your mouth, the umami is assertive. Perhaps because it is served cold, the aroma is not so strong.
With all due respect, I did not expect Yamada-Nishiki from Osaka to go this far. More than I expected.
The red label, which has been in the lineup for some time, was made with Yamadanishiki produced in Higashiosaka under the supervision of Tetsuji Shampoo Hat (only Kansai people would understand this 🙄 ), but this green label uses Yamadanishiki from Hineno, Izumisano City, where the brewery is located.
Unlike the dry red label, this one is said to be sweet.
It is fruity and light, with a gentle but not overpowering sweetness. There is a slight spiciness at the end. Although it is a pure sake, it is not heavy and easy to drink.
I think this may be my favorite of all the Shounosato sakes I've had so far.
Good evening Rafa 😃.
So-no-Sato sometimes comes to Kintetsu in Harukas, or you can find it in the Osaka sake section of Aeon 😁.
Osaka sake is also very tasty 😃.
Last of the Osaka Night Party
The last one was a bottle of sake with aluzoe.
It's so punchy!
It has a nice mouthfeel, so you can drink it easily, but it makes your throat and nose hot.
I couldn't take any more, so maybe it is a good sake for the end.
I would like to drink it plain.
Osaka Night Party is the second restaurant.
After eating Korean food and drinking too much makgeolli, we decided to have a little palate cleanser.
We went to a restaurant in Senbiru basement, which we had wanted to visit for a long time.
The proprietress recommended this bottle of makgeolli.
It has a refreshing taste with a gentle sweetness.
The finish was crisp and dry, and I thought it would be a good mid-meal sake.
Unfortunately, my stomach was too full to gauge its potential.
I bought it as recommended at a roadside station.
It has been a while since I had a dry sake.
I drank it in one gulp and it was gone in no time at all!
Today we are in Shounosato.
This sake is from Izumisano, in the south of Osaka.
Today I'm here for an event called Tenma Daijukai, a big gathering of Osaka sake. It was very crowded ^ ^.
I've been drinking so many different sake breweries that I don't understand what's going on, but Shonosato was a personal favorite of mine.
It has a slightly refreshing aroma.
The sweet and sour apricot aroma is refreshing, and the second half of the bottle is very dry and tasty.
Today I participated in the Osaka Prefecture preliminary round of the sake tasting competition at the Tenma Taishukai, but the results were disappointing💦.
The result was so bad that I crushed the mineral water I was drinking, and it was so frustrating that I had no face to show to the sake drinkers!
We had to switch the order of 7 kinds of sake and drink them twice to match, which was extremely difficult 😱😱😱😱👻👻🌪.
But it was a very interesting and good experience ^ ^ ^.
I'm still a beginner in Sake 🔰🌀
Hi...
This is good.
I can buy So-no-Sato so-so in my neighborhood, so I'm glad to know it's available.
You are a good sake brewer.
They often come to department store tasting and sales events, so here I didn't stop by...
Sounds like a fun event ‼️ wish I knew about it in advance so I could go 😆 Qualifying for sake tasting ❗ Sounds very nerve wracking ⤴️⤴️ It's not the same as relaxing and drinking - but it sounds interesting 😃.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 🌙I didn't know there was such an amazing event 🌙Thanks for your hard work ‼️😊It would be amazing if you could taste sake, but I know it's absolutely impossible, so Hirupeko is awesome for taking on the challenge ✨.
Good evening, pyonpyon. Sake tasting is difficult! It is hard just to drink 7 kinds of sake in 7 minutes. It is frustrating! But I'm having the best time experiencing the frustration of this kind of adult club activity 😆.
Good evening, Wakata-san. Yes, there was such an event at the Tenma Taishukai 😊I was devastated by the laxity of my nose and tongue, and that was a super interesting experience as well 😆.
Hi Hirupeco ☔.
I'm sorry to hear that the sake tasting contest is so difficult even for Hirupeko-san, she seems pretty tough 😱 but it looks like a lot of fun... 😆👍
Hirupeko, this tournament is the one with the national competition, right? My husband qualified a long time ago and said it was difficult 😅I'm not even close 💦.
Yes, the top two can go to the national competition. It is true that the Shiga Prefecture competition is highly labeled 😱 and you have to know how to compete. But it's a great experience to know that they judge in such a short time at the competition!
Nuwaniiiii!
7 kinds of drinking comparison!
I'm Hirupeko-san Kochikara (Koko Karamo) 👋💧.
I wish I could have been there 👋 I'm sure you'll be able to guess the 3 pairs and only one of them will not be a pair.
I wish I could have been there too😇.
Hi, Sakeran, I was trying to guess the ranking of 7 kinds by switching the order and drinking them twice, but my brain was in a panic and I didn't have time to write the answer 😱Sakeran, let's participate next year 💪.
