Then the central peach label This is also the first time I've had this, and as Manachy raved, it's so good 😋! It is sweet like a peach but refreshingly delicious 😋 even the bitterness is refreshing! It's also in the meat and this is the one you should buy in a bottle👍.

Japanese>English

takeshon, the peach label is still good 😋 sweet and refreshing and kills 4 pairs instantly 🗡️

Manachy, this was a bad one for 4 gou 😆 I'll have a bottle for a repeat 👍.

Haven't posted lately😅. I've never had a Daiginjo of this Chou before. It's a little bit expensive 👍This is delicious, but if it's in the same price range, I prefer the taste of the silver label 😋.

(after the -masu stem of a verb) to do ... to each other Gorgeous aroma, slight adhesive scent. Slight sweetness. Flows refreshingly. Very slightly carbonated, slight bitterness. This is delicious. Purchased at the Gonoi Sake Shop in Aizu Sakashita. The brewer is Akebono Shuzo, located along the same road. According to the brewery's manager (a very smart lady) at the event the day before, the brewery does not usually offer tours or direct sales, but once a year they open the brewery for tours, limited to 80 people. A narrow gate! Whatever, Aizu Sakashita sounds strong.

This is also the Yamadanishiki Nakakumi from Chuo that I drank last week: ‼️ All O's are delicious, but this one is no exception 😋. My preference is for the ARAKURI, but this NAKAKAKUMI is also very drinkable and eventually mana-chi (mana-itchi) 🤣.

Japanese>English

This one is waiting in the fridge 🥰Huo is still very good 😋.

Manachy, this one is delicious, but I preferred the one from last year when it was running rough 😋.

Would it increase my chances of marrying Gakki by 1% or so: ⁉️ But it seems it was just a gossip... I'm glad and disappointed... Well, here is R4's Dao Black Label: 🐦‍⬛ Melon-like aroma with a slight rummy flavor. The clean mouthfeel is accompanied by a subtle herbal aroma, The sweetness like cotton candy comes through. The flavor of rice cooked with kombu (kelp) gradually and steadily oozes out from there, The roughness characteristic of nama-zake makes the tongue tingle, and the acidity, which is similar to that of Tenmei, finishes off the taste. It has a slight cucumber-like astringency that lingers on the palate. It is like Tenmei's autumn harvest? I bought some salted fish from the president, so I tried it with it and it's really good ❤️ Also, I bought some soba from Naraya the other day. It's not so good if you ask me if it goes well with soba, But this soba is really good 😋. I have one bag left and I want Gakki to boil it for me 🤣‼️ Gakkie boiled buckwheat noodles in buckwheat water: ......... If you bottle it and sell it, it would be a regular seller 🤔.

Hi Manachie 😃 At first I thought you were full of gakkie love, but you're using gakkie to make money ⁉️ Your eyes are 💲🤣.

Oh, I think I bought this one too👍R5 one, right? The one they sent me by mistake a year ago last year was so good that I bought it again this year! The aged ones are better for me 😋.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Yucachin ☀I wonder if it makes that much difference if you just boil them in boiling water for 4 minutes 😂I'd like to have them boiled to try it, but I'd like to sell the boiled water, so I guess I'll ask Gakki 🤣.

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😅.

Japanese>English

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 ✋.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Mr. Tasake 😃Thanks for the delicious looking horse sashimi 😆Thanks for the central deliciousness 😍Did you go to Gonoi's?

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

Oh, I see you went to Fukushima, too, Manachie-san! What a coincidence!

Japanese>English

Yes 😆 I didn't get to stop by Gonoi this time, but it's always fun to go there because there are so many places to visit.

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 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 😇

Japanese>English

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 😂.

Japanese>English

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. ❤️

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

Japanese>English

Hi Satou 😃I drank this recently and it's so good 🤤Chu is all good 😋‼️

Japanese>English

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. ☺️
