Forgot to post this😆
Then the R4's.
I knew I prefer the taste of this one 😋.
I think I like the taste of the one year aged one better 😋 It's mellower or calmer....
I've been drinking it since yesterday, but I'd like to compare the median ‼️
First of all, R5BY‼️
I've become a regular drinker of Gonoi's 😆 This is already my third time this year: ❤️
This is delicious 😋.
I knew it!
I bought R5 and R4 by mistake this time 😆 I remember this happening last year too 😅.
Fresh and juicy with a touch of gas 😋.
It's a bit cloudy, so it's an adult calpis juice 😋.
I've been drinking so much that it's not even a comparison anymore😅.
Good morning, Manachie 😃.
I think I bought a medium pumped one too, but I bought both R4 and R5 by mistake😱But they are totally different when you compare them!
I am here in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture.
Before that, I went to a liquor store in Kitakata city ✨.
I was so excited! I can't believe how much they have here 😆😆😆😆.
I bought 11 bottles of sake, big and small, over 20,000 yen 💦.
So, we went to a butcher shop in Aizuwakamatsu where we had reservations to buy assorted horse sashimi, and then moved on to the onsen inn.
I ate the assorted horse sashimi with miso garlic sauce dipped in soy sauce. No doubt about it!
And the sake tasted freshly opened, tangy, and refreshing. I almost finished the bottle with only a little left of the four-pack ✋.
Good morning, Mr. Manachy. That's right. It's Gonoi-san's original, isn't it? I should have bought more if this is the case. I bought a few bottles of Tenmei from the same Akebono brewery, and some Izumikawa from Hiroki Shuzo.
GW's Dong's bag hanging silver label ‼️
This one is a repeat in a bottle👍
It's so good 😋 I'd like to repeat this one again!
GW was busy umpiring my oldest son's baseball practice games 🥵4 days in a row is tough 😱.
Well, let's give him good luck as the national summer tournament qualifiers will be starting soon ‼️
Good evening, takeshon😃.
A bottle of this wine looks super delicious to drink again 😋.
The umpires worked hard for 4 days in a row this hot GW🥵💦 Finally the summer ⚾️ of ball players ☀️ is coming ‼️
Good morning, Jainobi 😃.
All of the O's are good, but I think this Daiginjo might be my favorite 😊 a bit expensive, but I'd like to repeat it again👍.
My son is in his last year of middle school so I'll have him try his hardest ‼️
Jododaira Touring 🏍️💨
From Fukushima city, take the Bandai-Azuma Skyline and enjoy Jodododaira,
Enjoy Jodododaira ❤️ and then go through Bandai Azuma Lake Line to Urabandai ⛰️ and finally go through Bandaisan Gold Line to Inawashiro💧.
550km touring on the way down. 🏍️💨
We left at 4:30am and came home at 5:30pm‼️
Well, that was a lot of fun 😆I was probably on the bike for about 10 hours 🤣.
I feel like my whole body is busted up and my grip strength is slightly gone🤣.
So as soon as I get home, I'm going to drink some Aizu sake 🍶My favorite one of all 😆‼️
The aroma is a bit of cemedine smell + grefle 😆.
Fresh acidity from the palate, AND sweet deliciousness‼️
When swallowed, it has a slightly nigori-like rough texture and bitterness.
Ah, this is still good ❤️
The stimulation of the tongue by the gas feeling and the acidity balance the strong sweetness nicely. ❤️The sweet greefiness is delicious. ❤️The bitter taste through the throat makes it even more greefy...
Oh no, it's almost gone in 2 hours😭
I'm not sure what to do with the money, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get it...
I'm so tired, I'm going to drink up and go to bed 💤.
Good evening, Manachie 😃.
550 km of touring🏍️ 😳You have done a lot of driving‼️ and the snowy landscape that remains as it gets hotter is beautiful🤗Thank you for the Sauce Katsudon in Aizu and ending with Ao-san! That's a great way to end the tour 👍
Good evening, Mr. Manachie. I am going to Aizu next time. Please recommend sake and osusame sauce katsudon. It's better than the warajikatsu in Saitama!
Good morning, goonyi goo 😃I didn't go to Aizuwakamatsu area this time 😭I wanted to stop by Maruichi Shokudo in Inawashiro for Sauce Katsudon 😊Inagawa Sake Brewery 😊.
I would have loved to visit Sky Valley if I could have afforded to stay overnight 😇
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃Well, I drove quite a bit...I looked good, but really I used the highway for about 80 km out of 550 km🤣There is probably less snow this year 😨 even the high spots are shoulder high 😂.
Good morning, Nochi-san 😃Warajikatsu is just a thin cutlet 🤣? There are a lot of places in Aizuwakamatsu that serve sauce katsudon, so you should try a couple of them 🤣.
The sake I recommend is Aizu Nakasyo, which is only available at Uekiya. ❤️
Good morning Mr. Manachie 😃
550 kilometers 😳⁉️ that's a great distance 🤣It's about the distance from Ibaraki to Osaka 😊How about touring down the road to Osaka next time 🏍️
Rafa, Osaka‼️ is easy to get to if you use the highway, but it's tough if you go down the road🤣I'd love to take the bullet train and have a few drinks🤣.
Hello Manachy 😊Hello 😊The view looks like it could be displayed in a motorcycle shop📸It's beautiful 🤭But 550 km is tough 🤭Didn't your hand go numb in the second half of the 🏍️ 😱⁈
Good evening, Mr. Manachie!
I like that course from Bandai Azuma Skyline too 🚙 and went there several times! It looks like it would be nice to drive through it with 🏍️ 😆 I wish I had driven through it with 🏍️ too 😊550 km by the way.
I bought another kind because the last one I drank was so good!
Last time it was made from Yamadanishiki, but this time it was made from a rice called Mizuho Kogane!
According to my research, Mizuho Koganei is only used at Akebono Shuzo!
I like sweet sake, so I chose this one because it had a sake strength of -5 on the label!
I opened the bottle with trepidation as it was an active nigori sake, but there was no sign of spilling, just a little carbonation and lees floating in the bottle💦 (which was a bit of a letdown lol).
The top clear liquid has a sweetness that spreads out and leaves nothing but sweetness on the palate! Personally, I think it's my favorite sake!
After that, when I mixed the lees and drank it, unlike the supernatant, the sweetness and acidity came at the same time and ran right through! The bitterness is not so noticeable.
It was the first time in a long time that I found a sake that I liked, not a rare sake!
I also purchased a different year of Ao Yamadanishiki Arashigiri, so I look forward to comparing the two 😊.
4.5/5
Good evening Manachie-san!
I've never had this series before so I'm surprised at how good it tastes 😳I actually bought the Yamadanishiki Fukurodorari after reading your post lol.
Please let me know if you have any recommendation for the best one among the O. ☺️
Drinking outside.
The amount of information on the label is amazing: leap year commemorative brewing, kurodoruri, kamizumi, yamadanishiki 😳.
100% Yamadanishiki
Sweet aroma as it pours into the glass.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a pineapple-like sweetness. The sweetness is not persistent, but it is a little strong.
The mouthfeel is clean and watery.
It has a nice sharpness, making it easy to drink.
It's so easy to drink that you're afraid you'll finish it before you know it😅.
Also median ❤️
This is a peach label🍑.
Top clear.
The aroma is not that much. It has a slightly muscat-like aroma.
It has a sweetness like white peaches, then a fluffy umami, and then a bitterness that is quick and refreshing! It is amazingly refreshing and delicious 😋.
Mix it up.
When mixed, it has a sweetness like ripe peaches, with a firm umami of rice, and then a crisp and sharp taste with a firm bitterness 😆.
I also like the smooth and silky mouthfeel of nigori 🤤.
I made some buri daikon to go with it, but I think it would probably go better with meat 🍖.
Leftover chashu pork was obviously a better match 🍖.
I will have to buy a bottle of O for every bottle 🤪.
Comrade Manatchi, here we go again 😊.
You're drinking a great one!
I envy you ❗️
I really want to go to Aizu...
Maybe I'll rent a car one of these days.
Good morning, Manachy 😃.
Oo's Rough Run & Orikagami...sounds delicious 🤣Sweetness of peach, rice flavor, firm bitterness...definitely delicious 😋I'll look for it in a bottle 😁.
I changed the restaurant to "O" because they didn't have any pink label sake.
I met a guy who had retired from his company at the restaurant and had a drink with him for the first time in a while.
I never forget a good old story.
This is the store's special order. It tastes good no matter how many times I drink it.
It is easy to drink.
It has a good balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness.
I'm Manachy with 0 days off per week 😭.
I still haven't had a day off this month🤣.
I should go to the labor department for overwork soon 🧐I guess I shouldn't die 🤣.
I took 6 days off a week to feel like I had some rest 🤣If I thought work = rest, I'd have 7 days off a week😇.
And I drink my favorite Duo to cheer myself up a little 🍶.
I love O-chan ❤️
Uesumi
The aroma is melon-like
It has a refreshing mouthfeel.
The taste is very greeful!
The bitterness of the aftertaste is quite strong, but it gives it a nice finish.
Mixed with
The aroma is more melon 🍈.
The sweetness and flavor of the Greffle taste is even more intense 😆 When mixed, the bitterness is a little less bitter and I think this one has a more universal taste 👍
I paired it with horse sashimi and it goes great with spicy miso 🍈❤️ spicy miso increases the sweetness of the sake and it's amazingly delicious 🍈.
And it's so good with oysters steamed in sake. ‼️I'll have to try yellow label and oysters steamed in sake next year too 🦪.
Hello Mr. Manachy.
You shouldn't be overworked 😀
On and off is important ‼️
Take care of yourself and don't let the drinking take your mind off your worries 🤣.
Hello Manachy 🐦.
I'm sorry you didn't get a break this month, isn't it the end of the month already😱I have to keep the balance with good drinks and food 😢.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie. The more company employees drink, the better they drink. That's Ane-san's style, isn't it? I would like to propose the theory that the harder you work, the weaker you are at mahjong. It's right, isn't it?
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃Thank you for your time 😌.
Spicy miso horse sashimi and oysters steamed in sake for a tired body😍And the oh seems to soak it all in 😋☺️ I would love to have a cup of oh 😋.
But...no vacation for more than three weeks😱will it settle down in April 😥.
Good morning, Comrade Manachy 😃.
The end of the fiscal year is really tough everywhere...
Six days off a week is ideal, isn't it?
Please let me eat Aizu style horse sashimi to recover my strength ❤️🩹
Good evening Mr. Manachy 😃.
I think everyone has hard times and it's a 'necessary evil' 😁The hard work will definitely pay off later 😌I'm...not sure if I'm being rewarded 😭⁉️
Hi Manachie 😊I can't imagine working without a break when March ends in a few days 😱I hope your hard work will be reflected in your salary 🥲I'm in a situation where I'm confirming your survival by liking your reviews from Manachie 🥺.
Produced by Akebono Shuzo, famous for Tenmei, and sold at liquor stores in Aizuwakamatsu, PB
Yamadanishiki Jungin Arahashiri!
When you pour it, there is a white ooze and when you drink it, the aroma rushes through you! I was surprised at how aromatic it was! There is a little bit of gassiness? Just a little bit.
It's a rough runner, so it's complex, but I like it.
The aroma is slightly sweet, but there is a slight bitterness afterwards, but it is pleasant without lingering together!
(The horse sashimi is a bit crumbly and doesn't look good, but forgive me 💦 the fat from the futaego melts off and tastes great lol)
I'll drink it again 😳.
4.2/5
Good evening, Go-ni-Go-san 🌇.
The Central High quality sake sounds amazingly delicious ❗️
Yes, it looks like it would make a great toast!
I wish I could drink it too!
💨
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 16
I opened a bottle of this sake because I thought I would finish it if I drank a four-pack, but somehow, somehow, I feel like I'm drinking a four-pack 😆.
The first sip is already delicious.
The first sip was so good, I felt like I'm living for this drink.
It was so sour and sweet that I felt like "I'm living for this drink! It's not thin, but you can taste the refined taste of shaved rice.
The acidity is a bit strong in the middle of the meal. That's fine. It's delicious 😋If you start drinking it during the day, you could drink a whole bottle. It's about the same.
I became friends with a woman who joined the company in February. I don't know why.
Because she loves beer🍺 and lemon sour🍋, drinks so much that her memory becomes hazy and she overtakes the train😆.
'Odakyu is still better, and if you take the Nambu line, it goes all the way to Tachikawa.
No, no, Odakyu goes to Odawara!
Since we share the same nearest train line (a rarity in this company), we decided to go out for a drink next time.
Are these the only women who can get along with me? 😅
Good evening, takeshon!
I think I can drink sake because a friend of mine from my former company told me that he likes sake.
The banned sisters who play mahjong online 🀄️ during lunch break are the best 🤣.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san.
I'm not good at identifying acidity. I'm not very good at identifying acidity. If you like acidity, you may think it's different. But it is delicious!
First extra edition in a year
I didn't know it tasted like this.
It tasted sour when I drank it for the first time in a while.
Is it because it's an extra?
Today, it is a limited edition for the leap year of the central government! It is made with 30% Yamadanishiki polished in Fukuro-hashidare. It is a sake at the level of a competition! The aroma is pineapple and peach (^o^), and it is very fruity, but not that fruity. When you drink it, it has sweetness and slight carbonation! From there, there is sourness and a moderate bitterness! Then comes the umami that is typical of Yamadanishiki, and the aftertaste is firm as well. It is rare to find a sake that is so Yamadanishiki-like! This sake is well-balanced and truly delicious. I want to drink it forever.
Brewer's alcohol
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewers' alcohol
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 37
Alcohol content: 17%.
It's an ordinary day, but I'm going to open it. I got a big kick out of it 😊.
No, what, this is delicious.
I guess the amount of alcohol added is excellent. It's very elegant, but the rice is very thinly sliced, but it's delicious. I drank it by itself for a while. It was a waste during the meal, so I left it out and drank it after the meal. The alcohol content is high, but I don't feel like getting drunk.
It is expensive, but I want to buy a bottle of it.
Well, last night 🀄️ made me think that Mr. Nochi is a nice person after all 💖.
Hello, Noci 😃.
You must have seen the way I transferred the money yesterday. Don't you feel sorry for me? 🤣.
I like you while you are losing more than me (what's with this limitation W) 🩷.
