Good evening! 🙋
It's the middle of March and the sun is setting slower and slower.
Personally, I am very happy to feel that the day is getting longer. 😄
Now, continuing with the "Stories Born of Sake Rice" that took place the other day at Metropolitan Morioka's Tsai-Itsuru.
The third sake was Hamachidori Junmai Namaisake (Junmai Nama Storage Sake).
This junmai is made by cutting 55% of the Ginga Ginga.
It is a little sweet, but it goes in very nicely.
When it comes out in a small bottle, it looks like some kind of all-you-can-drink sake. But it has a nice, clean taste.
We enjoyed it with a variety of appetizers. 👍
Soft rice flavor and sweetness
Low alcohol content.
Soft and full-bodied
When the bottle was opened
It was a little unsatisfactory when opened.
But after a week
It has a different flavor and a different impression.
Alcohol 15%.
Rice polishing ratio 55% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice
Taste 3.8

Miscellaneous impressions
I went to a live concert, and the band member told me that he was thinking about the fires in Tohoku, so I poured a glass of sake from Kamaishi, Iwate, which I happened to have at home.
It is nice to drink sake while thinking of Tohoku.
My favorite #Hamachidori. I think 3 years ago, the rice was changed from Miyamanishiki to Ginga. It is still delicious, but I have an image that it has changed from rich and umami to light and refreshing. I think I'll let it sit in the fridge for a while.
It is called "All Iwate Sake."
I bought it during my trip to Iwate. I think buying local sake at the local liquor store is one of the best parts of traveling.
It definitely goes well with Sanriku foods (especially seafood).
Hi, I'm a new member of the forum and I'm looking forward to hearing from you! 🙋
Today, we are on the coast of Iwate prefecture where there are snow storm warnings, etc. and the wind is actually blowing very hard. 😅
Thanks to you, I am celebrating my birthday today. 🙇.
I don't know how I managed to live to such a... age 😁.
I am conscious of saving the amount I drink as I get older.
Every time I see a post from someone like Ane, I think how I used to be like this when I was younger, but I'm in such a bad shape nowadays that nothing good can come from drinking in a way that definitely affects the next day 😅.
Having said that, today is my birthday and I'm attending a get-together at my client's bank.
And I'm going to bring a large amount of food and take it to the unintelligible development of having everyone celebrate my birthday! 😁
Someone just contacted me on social media and said, "I'm counting on you!" I will do my best to live up to your expectations!
I will do my best to live up to your expectations! 👍
The photo is a Daiginjo of Hamachidori that I drank at a pre-birthday party at "Tsushima Tsuru" in the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing the other day.
The drinking set was the same as the one I featured earlier, so I uploaded an additional one I drank!
It was a little dry, but I could taste the flavor of the rice while it was refreshing.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Kumagai 🎂 I am slowly losing the ability to say I drink to the point of throwing up 🤣 I'm like, don't drink to the point of throwing up 🤣.
Happy Birthday, Tomoyuki Kumagai 🎂🎉㊗️
I'm looking forward to celebrating by bringing a lot of alcohol to a business partner's get-together 🍶.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of alcohol you brought (if you have time to take pictures 😁) 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🥳
Yes, I agree.
Don't drink so much that you throw up. 😁.
Drink in an age appropriate manner! 😅
Good evening, Aladdin! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🎉
I'll make sure to take one of each and give it my best shot! 👍
I'm looking forward to it myself! 😁

Even though it's your job, it's nice to be able to celebrate with you 🥹I'm sure it will be a birthday to remember 💐.
Wishing you a wonderful year ✨
Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai!
Happy Birthday 🎉!
Celebratory drinks at the get-together where you brought in a lot of your own ✨.
Sounds like it's going to be a fun time 🎵
I'm curious to know what kind of alcohol you will be bringing 😊.
Happy birthday to Tomoyuki Kumagai 🎊🍰🎂🎂
More once-in-a-decade cold wave is predicted starting next Tuesday 😭
By the way, you all seem to be expecting some good drinks 😃.
Hello Tomoyuki Kumagai!
Happy Birthday 🎉
A work get-together on your birthday -> I understand.
Bringing alcohol to the get-together to celebrate ->?
This is sure to be an intense party 🤣.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🥳
Well, it's your job, but I had to half-heartedly congratulate you while "teaching" you the joy of drinking a variety of delicious drinks little by little 😁.
Good evening, ma-ki-! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🎉
Every time we bring in a different kind of product, some people are waiting with baited breath (lol).
It was a lot of fun! 😁😁
Good evening, @Mizuhashi! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🥳
It doesn't get much warmer here, so I don't want a cold snap. 😅
What do you bring every time? They are expecting me to bring something.
I won't let you down👍.
Good evening, Kab! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🎉
It's one of the local brands that I surprisingly don't drink 😅.
I think I can drink it anytime I want, so I don't drink it forever, typical, hi. 🙇
Good evening, Jay & Nobby! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words! 🥳
It takes a good number of people to have a good drink in a relaxed atmosphere, so gatherings like this one are perfect (lol)!
I'm glad you all enjoyed it and I'm glad I did too! 😁
Hi Gyve, good evening! 🙋
Thank you for your kind words!
In my mind, the best solution is to bring in alcohol to celebrate (lol)!
Ehhhh, is that ok?" but the boar's mouth is bang on!
