The online seminar we had planned was successfully completed: ☑️
Thank you for your hard work and everyone disbanded.
I moved to Higashimuroran and had a drink at an izakaya in front of the hotel.
What to drink?
I ordered a sake once, but stopped 🫷.
I found a sake I was interested in on the recommended menu for the day!
It's Matsunotoshi, a Tochigi sake!
A brand I've only encountered at Noe, in Tokyo!
And it was a special Junmai Bunny Girl!
Not much aroma, but a kind of unique dry taste!
It was not the fruity type that I like!
But the waitress poured it into a glass for me, so I had it with ramen salad and Muroran yakitori (grilled chicken).
This week has been a week of rage!
But it is a relief when the event is over!
After having yonagari soba at the hotel and turning on the TV, I dozed off 😴 and fell asleep 💤 as usual.
I woke up at this hour to post a Sake-no-wa!
Are you feeling well for the event in Kumamoto in November, Bessan and Mexican tequila🇲🇽🙆
I hope you are in good health🙆
Because we are going to visit riki🍶!

Labels of interest: 🏷️
The taste is clean, centered on the umami🌾 of the rice.
No sweetness at all, gracefully. None at all😬.
My father who was drinking next to me said, "It's not sweet at all!
Indeed, my reflex was "Is it sweet? 💖" for a moment....
But on the contrary, it's a pineapple 😅.
Too bad 🤣
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Now that you mention it, it looks like there is darkness behind the eyes 😨It's interesting to see not only the contents but also the label crossed with the label 😆 I'd like to try the rest of the series 😁.
Hi Hiro-san, I'm with you 😃.
I picked it up at the liquor store the other day, but I didn't want to buy it 😅I should have bought it if it tastes so refreshing!
Jay & Nobby, I'm with you 😃.
I imagined Mr. J looking at the label and hesitating like "Mwah, that label looks sweet, I'm not going to ......🫸" 💭I'm curious about the liquor that won the Bunny Girl ❤️ 🫣.

When we visited Mashidaya on Sunday, we saw the information on the signboard outside the store and bought a bottle.
I opened the bottle on Thursday.
It is a delicious sake with umami, but it is also clear and refreshing.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😃.
I'm going to buy a packet of this one! I saw it at a liquor store near me over the weekend and had a hard time deciding 🤔I ended up with Souhyo Hiyayogoshi 😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆.
Mashidaya, I didn't see it in your inn drinking recommendations, but it's on my list to take home 😊.
Hiyayogoshi from Soumu looks delicious too 🍁.
I went camping in Tochigi and bought this locally to accompany me at night.
It had a refreshing taste and sharpness, probably because it had just been released from the brewery, and it added a pleasant color to the cool evening.
I regret that I only have a rough impression and impression of the sake because I tasted it in an unusual setting.
My research revealed that Tochigi Prefecture has a lot of local sake, and if I have the chance, I would like to compare many different kinds of sake.
Gohyakumangoku use
The rightmost one ...... is not different from today's one at all. Look at the second one, it says the brand name!
A hint of lime, crisp and dry. The sweetness lingers after rolling.
Yeah.
Tastes just like I imagined.
We enjoyed it while watching the fireworks without any pretense.
