A great sake to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
I hope to be able to go to the new sake party next season 😌 #Shinshu secret sake hanpukai 2024
#TsukiYoshino #TsukiYoshino #Wakabayashi Brewery
Buy in bulk at "Sakaeya" in Bessho Onsen (3)
I saw "Tsuki Yoshino" for the first time. After much agonizing and worrying among the several available, I chose my favorite Miyamanishiki.
It is not sweet or heavy, but has a gentle balance that makes you feel as if you have taken a step back. It is tender or modest, and goes well with ryokan cuisine in Bessho Onsen, where there is no sea. ❗️
Tonight I paired it with a home Chinese dish published by a Japanese expatriate who has recently become a favorite of mine. It also goes well with lightly prepared dishes centered on saltiness and rape seed oil. ‼️
Sakaeya had several varieties lined up, but ah, I'd love to compare each sake rice. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Nagano. Thank you for the food 😋.
Outside drinking.
Shinshu Spring Color SAKE Festival.
The sunlight ☀️ was so strong that I looked for a shady spot, but everywhere was occupied and not available. We weren't prepared for the heat, so the sunlight 🌞 hit us directly 😱.
I decided to drink before I fell down and next stop was Tsukiyoshino. First time here too.
Sake rice is Hitogokochi.
The color is slightly amber.
It has a sweet taste like an apple in the mouth. It is sweet and sour with a little acidity. The sourness is quite restrained.
It is similar to Suiryu, a sake we have had so far.
The sourness extends to the aftertaste, and it has a nice clean finish.
Refreshing and easy to drink 🍶.
It would be more refreshing without direct sunlight 🤣.
Hi Hiro 😃
I'm so excited just to hear the name of this event 🤩I know some of them I've heard of and some I've never heard of, but they all sound delicious 😋You had a great experience 👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
It was worth the trip, as it seems that many of the drinks they serve are mainly local.
We didn't stay long though as we were not prepared for the heat,
I'm satisfied with the 8 or so drinks I had 😆.
I will CI the rest tomorrow.

Apple aroma. Quite sour when rolled around in the mouth. The soft and refreshing taste is typical of Tsukiyoshino. It enhances meals.
Purchased at a sake brewery. It is a new sake. The cedar beads are green.
Thank goodness they are open on the 3rd Saturday of the month in addition to weekdays.

Aka Dry Junmai Sake
since 1896
Polishing ratio 70%.
100% Hitogokochi produced in Ueda City
Sake degree +11
Toji: Mami Wakabayashi
Wakabayashi Brewery
Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice used: Hitogochiki and Yamadanishiki
Tsukiyoshino Honjozo blended with Daiginjo and Junmai Daiginjo
The first sip was a slightly sweet white wine in aroma and mouthfeel.
There is no cloying taste, and the sweetness remains with a clean aftertaste.
It has just the right amount of bitterness and astringency, making it an interesting sake with a unique balance.
When I asked the owner of a maniac liquor store for an interesting sake, he recommended this one.
It was a sake I could drink with a grin on my face.
I decided to buy some sake from Ueda and bought a packet for the first time in a long time. The red label is nice.
The color is slightly yellow, almost no sweetness, and deliciously dry. If it were available at a sushi restaurant, I would choose it.
Sake from the Shinshu sake hanpukai ❗
This is my first time to try Tsukiyoshino and I didn't even know it existed!
I think I'm starting to understand what makes Shinshu sake so good, but I'm still learning ✨.
I think I'm starting to understand what Shinshu sake is like, but I'm still learning 😉 What I do know is that Shinshu sake is usually delicious! If it is labeled as Nagano Prefecture, there is no harm in buying it 😉.
Hi, Mr. Menshuoh!
I've never heard of it either, the name sounds very Nara-like to me 😁.
I'd like to try this one someday since it's also a [moon] sake 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
Since you are the one who is famous for tsukimi sake, please try to make a bottle of tsukimi sake with a wider variety capacity ❗I think it will be a deeply flavored one 🎵.
Good morning, Noodle King brethren 😃.
Oh, I'm a guy who hasn't had this one yet, back at you: ❗️
I'm getting to know what Shinshu sake is like❓
That's a cool thing to say 😀
I'll keep drinking so that I can reach that level too 🍶.
Hello fellow Haruei Chichi 😃!
I'd say I understand Shinshu sake, but I still have a stupid tongue because I don't have to tell you that all of them are basically delicious 😅But the deliciousness that even a stupid tongue can understand is still a great sake ✨.
Hatsugetsu Yoshino🌕.
Soft sweetness, gentle acidity, a little bitterness.
Easy to drink and delicious 😋.
One that makes me glad I'm in the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai ✨
This finally completes my post up to May 🙌!
I have a little more time today, so I'll get to it 😆.
Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai May Sake #1 🍶.
I like it from the aroma😍Oh, fruity! But I don't know what it smells like💦.
After you take a sip of the sweetness, the bitterness slowly spreads 😌I like this kind of sake too 😌❣️
Hi, yukachin 😃.
Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai🤩 sounds good 🥹.
Bitterness and sourness from sweetness is nice 👍.
The first sake for May means you have a few bottles coming in a month ⁉️
Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai here ‼️ today
We are comparing the secret course and the gold course 👍I have about 10 bottles overflowing from the fridge so I can't wait to drink them 🤣.
Before that, I received the results of my health checkup: ‼️
The results、、、、、、、 are completely normal🤣The gastroscopy showed only mild reflux esophagitis, and the blood test was completely normal, A grade👍.
I drank 4 gouges before 9pm the day before too🤣Doctor told me that it doesn't make much sense to abstain from alcohol before the checkup😱.
So to those of you who are abstaining from alcohol, the results will be the same whether you drink or not, so take your rest days in moderation and drink as much as you can 😆.
Let's start with the secret course.
Modern sourness in the aftertaste 😋 with a slight alcohol taste
I remember it being similar to Masumi's Shiboritate 😋 fresh memory.
Then the gold course
This one has a sweeter taste 😋, and the sharpness is also delicious with a bitter accent 😋, I prefer this one.
I can't tell because the specs only say alcohol content. They're both 15%.
I'm at least 4 gou of alcohol 🤣Shinshu sake is delicious 😋.
Good evening, takeshon!
Early opening of the hanpukai 🤣 I hadn't received mine yet!
It's great that you drank 4 goujos the day before and everything is fine! Or the doctor is a mogul 👨🏻⚕️
Good evening, takeshon🎶!
Congratulations on your good health checkup 😄👏You drank 4 gongs the day before and you're fine, you're in an invincible state 🙆♀️ 😂.
This is the time to take a moderate break from liver 😄.
Good morning, kino.😃
I haven't received it yet 😱 is there that much difference between Aichi and Gifu 🤣.
I think I'll take on next year's health checkup by drinking 4 gou every day👍.
Good morning, takeshon-san: ☀️
From the daily drinking of takeshon-san
A health checkup result ✨Great job 😆👏.
You can continue to drink with peace of mind 😆🙌
Ace, good morning 😃.
I've been drinking for the past year without any particular rest day and it hasn't been a problem 👍I don't need another rest day this year 🤣.
Good evening, takeshon 😃.
That's what I'm talking about! I knew you had an iron liver 🤗 but #4 the day before is too much😳
We've been sober for a month so I guess that helps 😅
Good morning, Jaynobi 😃.
I drank 4 gouges the day before, it was an experiment 👍I will not continue to abstain from alcohol 😆 I will experiment every year👍.
