I wasn't planning to drink today, but somehow I felt like it. So we decided to have some Tomiou, which was sold by weight on Tuesday. It was my first experience of selling by weight, so I had it with the memory of how much fun it was. First, the aroma. It has a fresh, slightly citrusy aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the bitterness from the smooth mouthfeel. It also has a hint of sweetness, albeit moderate. The lingering aftertaste is the bitterness and spiciness that spreads in the mouth. It is a fresh and powerful sake, and although I found it a bit spicy, it is very tasty in its own way. It goes well with meals, and during the meal, I felt that the sweetness was also well balanced with the bitterness. I tried it on the rocks, which is also recommended. I tried it on the rocks. After the sweetness increased a little, I felt the bitterness was stronger, and the pungent bitterness spread quickly. It seems to have lost some of its curdiness. It is very difficult to feel the difference in taste. I was really happy to be able to spend time drinking sake, and I am energized for tomorrow.

Good morning, ma-ki. I guess the freshness of the wine is the best! But it seems to be quite dry 😅On the rocks, it's quite difficult to change the taste. I'm learning a lot 📚I enjoy meeting new people ❣️

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama. It was a fresh sake that felt very powerful: ⤴️ It was quite a bit spicier than the tasting, but as you said, it was a new sake experience that I enjoyed 😊.

ma-ki-San, Sake by weight is such a power word 🤤I'm not a fan of dry sake, but it sounds like a good way to try a little 🤔I'll plan a brewery tour: ✨️

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment Nao888. Power word ~ indeed it is ⤴️ I have a sweet tooth too, so basically I love sweet and savory, but I'm very happy with the sake that goes well with food, including the weighing experience 🎵. I'm looking forward to your brewery tour posts 😊.

Hi ma-ki-🐦. It's only at the brewery that you can buy the sake by weight😊👍It's fresh and it's like a treat to drink it with happy memories ✨I wish I could go to Fushimi 😆.

Hi, ma-ki- 😀. You can enjoy it twice: once with the trip and once with the souvenirs. That's why we can't stop traveling 😁. I'll have to drink it right away ✨✨.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment, Pon. It's really a fun thing you have to visit the brewery 🎵. I wonder if it happened in Suwa ✨. I hope to make time to visit more breweries 😊.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, soumacho. That's right. ⤴️ I was able to recall the memories of the brewery tour when I saw the souvenirs, and the taste was also more than delicious 🎵. I enjoyed the fresh and powerful sake by weight 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki 😃. We have no experience in weighing 🥲 but it's fun to experience something new 🤗 maybe it's because of this experience that we can enjoy the dry taste with our meals 😚.

Japanese>English

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments! Yes, our first weigh-in experience was truly uplifting: ⤴️ It's true that sake served with thought is an element that can be as delicious as a good meal paired with it 😊.

ma-ki-, good evening 😃Weighing sounds fascinating 😍I haven't encountered weighing yet, but it looks delicious ✨Freshness is one thing, but the interaction with the brewer is also an added factor to the deliciousness 😆.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment Wakata. I didn't think I would get to experience weighing and selling so I couldn't stop the excitement 😁✨. Yes, it was a great experience. It was a great experience for me to learn a lot about the brewery since it is the home of the brewer 😊.

Today is my day off, so my wife and I are in Kyoto for a sake brewery tour. I saw a post by Sake no Wa about visiting a kamizo (a sake brewery) and thought it was close to Demachiyanagi area. We decided to visit a brewery in Fushimi as well. We originally planned to go from Demachiyanagi to Fushimi, but we had to stop at Tambabashi due to a train accident, so we started from Fushimi. Although we could not visit the brewery, we first saw the massive exterior of the Matsumoto Sake Brewery and then went to the nearby Kitagawa Honke Brewery. This was our first visit to the brewery. Kitagawa Honke's Tomio. This time, we tasted three kinds of sake and took home two small bottles. The Junmai Daiginjo, which is sold by weight, was poured into bottles on the spot, which was a very exciting experience. This post is about the remaining bottle (the one on the far right). Probably an alcohol-added daiginjo according to the description. First, the aroma. The aroma is not very pleasant. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness and a beautiful mouthfeel that you would not expect from an alcohol-added sake. It was very tasty and very satisfying to drink. However, my wife was a little uncomfortable when she felt the alcohol was too strong, so we gave up on taking it home. All of the sakes were very refreshing and tasty with a straightforward taste. After enjoying Tomiou, we moved on to Fujioka Sake Brewery in Aozora.

Hi, ma-ki-chan 😃 Kyoto date with your wife ❤️ and also a sake brewery tour! Sounds like fun 😆. I was also surprised to see your photos of the sake sold by weight. I bet it's delicious 😋 Hope you meet new don'ts in Kyoto: ❣️

Hello, ma-ki-chan! A weekday date with a couple in Kyoto in late autumn✨ I wish I could make a tour like that 😁. I'm curious about "Tomio" as I haven't had the "Daiginjo" spec yet 🍶, the Kyoto sake that I first found to be to my liking!

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama. I'm the wife who is forced to go out with me even though it's called a date 💧. But she seemed to enjoy it and I was very satisfied with the day ✨. The sake in Kyoto was delicious too 😊.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, Gyve. I went to Kyoto and my wife took me on a tour of the brewery without doing any sightseeing 💧. It was my first time to try Tomiou and it was a direct sake that I could see why it tasted so good😊.

Good evening, ma-ki 😃. I'm so jealous of your Kyoto sake brewery tour ✨✨. It's exciting to see sake, isn't it? I don't have enough experience with Kyoto sake, so I'll be referring to this 😊.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, soumacho. It was my first time to visit Kyoto sake breweries too and it was really exciting: ⤴️ I didn't have many chances to drink sake in Kyoto, so it was even more fun 🎵. If you have a chance, please do 😊.

ジェイ&ノビィ

Good morning, ma-ki-😃. We had a day off yesterday too and we both went out for a drink 🤗 touring sake breweries sounds like fun😄. It's great that you can do a live report👍.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby. I see you two were also drinking yesterday ⤴️ I was posting this while my wife was out on the train getting a little drunk 😁. It was fun touring the breweries 😊.

Before I had opened the three bottles I bought in Fushimi, I visited Fushimi again for some reason, so I bought two more bottles. I bought two more bottles of my favorite Tomio's Nama🍶. Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. And fresh! I'm going Kuikui, but watch out for the 19 degrees: ⚠️ Congratulations to Gen Hoppy ㊗️ Cheers!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I upload photos to a photo sharing app every day 😅. My son-in-law's parents also leave me comments every day. Delicious 🍶 sake from Fushimi, good one 🍶. Cheers~!

Tasted and purchased at Kyoto station. It is like a traditional sake. After the first sip, it was a bit muddy, but after that, there was no aftertaste. It is not fruity, but rather a full-bodied sake with no cloying aftertaste.

The 9th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) We had the stable Tomio at the beginning and the end! Hiya Oroshi The ripeness is just right and not heavy! The taste of Tomiou is just like Tomiou's taste! It tastes like Tomiou! Freshly squeezed, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is easy to drink for me personally because it has a strong but sharp taste and astringency. If you agree with my preference for sugar-free beer, I think you'll like it! Uji Gyokuro Umeshu Umeshu (plum wine) with a strong tea astringency! This is delicious! I prefer it to regular plum wine! After all, Tomio is wonderful! It's really good no matter what you drink!
