This is also a gift from my youngest son... a local Chichibu sake from my hometown of Chichibu, Saitama. I know you may not like it, but...it goes well with Chichibu's hormone...and today's snack was...freshly kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) from Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Hello brother 😃.
I'd love to have a quick drink with a bottle of Chichibu Hormone 🍶 that looks very big-boned 😋.
Son, if you ever have any problems in Tochigi, please tell him to visit J&N 😊.
Hello Jay & Nobby 😃It's a very heavy-boned sake 🍶. Chichibu horumon, pork in miso 🐖 is perfect 🐖 My son has been transferred to Tochigi from March and he is starting to get a little 🤏 rhythm in his life. Thank you very much 😊.
I received this as a souvenir from Chichibu.
It is a brewer's alcohol-sweetened, long time "old-fashioned sake". I've been drinking a lot of junmai fruity sake lately, so this is a fresh new experience for me.
I had it at room temperature, but it might be good warmed up as well 😅 When I realized ⁉️, the 300ml bottle was empty 😅.
It's the kind of sake I'd like to drink at a local izakaya: ❣️
P.S.
I noticed after uploading this that the label says to keep it refrigerated. It seems I made a mistake in how to store and how to drink it 😅 If you receive a gift, read the label carefully (lesson learned).
A cup of sake purchased at the brewery during a trip to Chichibu. Super dry. It's like a clean, old-fashioned sake. It's good to drink something like this once in a while.
Buko-Masamune Special Junmai
My wife's sister came to Osaka at the end of March.
She gave me a bottle of Buko-Masamune as a gift.
My sister-in-law's husband is from Chichibu.
It's one cup and 4 bottles.
Perfect for cherry blossom viewing👍‼️
Saturday we went to Ryokuchi Park🌸.
Sushi 🍣 and Tempura 🍤 ready 😋.
We drank one cup of special junmai and one bottle of sake
I drank 🍶.
It was a perfect accompaniment to the meal...
Very tasty 🤤.
Thank you, sister-in-law 👍‼️
The cherry blossoms were beautiful
The tulips🌷 were beautiful too😌.
Rafa papa, good evening😊.
I'm glad you had a good hanami🌸 today and even the tulips🌷 were beautiful.
I'm glad to see the arrival of various kinds of sake, including Bukko-Masamune, barrel sake and ume sake👍.
Good evening Mr. Hiraccio😃
Thanks to my sister-in-law and her husband, we had a very nice hanami 🤣I felt like I got something good seeing not only cherry blossoms🌸 but also tulips🌷✌️ I also got a sip of ume sake that my wife was drinking and it was very delicious 🤤.
Good evening, Rafa papa 😃.
I am so glad to hear that you are related to Chichibu 😳.
It's a very rural area, but it's a nice place, so please visit when you come back to your hometown!
Please visit Nagatorogura, which kino.san was drinking the other day 🍶.
Good morning Aladdin 😃
Nagatoro is a major tourist attraction especially in Saitama so I've been there a few times 😊 but I can't remember when I was there last 😅I'll ask my sister-in-law for Nagatoro warehouse too 🤣.
It is refreshing and easy to drink without being spicy. It is good on its own or with snacks, from snacks to pickles. The same brewery also makes a version of Anohana, which I would like to try.
The first aroma is oaky. Then milky? It is not so sweet, but rather full-bodied and robust.
The first sip is sweet like strawberry, but it is not so sweet, but full-bodied and robust.
