A bottle at a Kumamoto travel hotel!
My first Ding bought at a liquor store in Kumamoto. There were some like Sannodo and Hananokou, but I went with this one that I've never had before😅.
I drink what I want to drink! Great 👍!
It has a nice sweetness with a gentle mouthfeel, and it's easy to drink and tastes great without any stickiness! I was able to enjoy it all the way through without any lull in the sweetness.
Thank you so much for the food 😄
Good evening, Tsutsumitate-san!
I love your trip to Kumamoto 🎵.
I remember traveling there by myself a long time ago 🤗.
I remember Ding-san through Hananoka-san and Sundo-san - it was delicious and ricey ✨.
I'll drink what I want to drink 😊.
Good morning, tsutsumate-san 😃
I also opened a bottle of this on the same day...
It's fruity and delicious, Kanae!
By the way, were you okay with the water disaster?
Hello @Mizuhashi😄
We opened the bottle on the same day! What a pleasure 💃.
It's delicious👍
I didn't see any major damage in the tourist areas, but there seemed to be some damage such as elevators in hotels were out of order.
Ding Junmai Ginjo Namaishu 720ml
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
I had a mapo-don at Shoryu in Nanao and dropped by Mizukami. Shinshu sake for my trip to Saku on Monday 😅.
It's been a while since I've had Ding.
Soft and fruity, nice 😉.
Hello @Mizuhashi!
Ding-san is delicious 😋.
I have the impression that the sake has a great aroma and flavor of rice, and I remember thinking that Nagano sake is also delicious 🤗.
I see you are going to Saku 😁✨✨.
Good morning, ma-ki-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Ding is a hard sake to find in some areas because there are only a few distributors 🍶.
Yesterday, I went down to the town center and went to Shimizu-ya to stock up on a lot of sake 🥰.
Today, we have a summer Junmai Ginjyo from "Ting" in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture: ❗️ its orikarami: ❗️❗️
The aroma is fresh and sweet! One sip and after a dense texture on the tongue, it has a tangy and sharp spiciness❗️❗️ and a fruity aroma that leaves the nose❗️ and is a great sake for a meal. ❤️
Very easy to drink, with a melon🍈 flavor. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing taste.
The endorsement reads, "We will be happy if this sake makes your smiles shine brighter." -----
It should be delicious✨.
I had Ding for the first time!
It was a fruity and delicious sake!
Maybe it was the temperature, but I thought it would have a bit more sharpness, but I felt it was more mellow.
It was delicious 🍶😁😁.
Open the bottle for a sweet drink.
Sweet from the aroma 🥰!
Sweet and tasty Ding-chan, no bitterness or spiciness at all, delicious 😋.
I drank too much and almost emptied it in one night😅.
When I saw it, I wanted to drink it for the first time in a while. I am weak to the word "limited edition" and it was the first daiginjo class I saw, so I harvested it👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, it had a beautiful aroma with pear, melon, green apple type fruit and minerality.
The mouthfeel is soft and light. Pure sweetness in the smoothness and a touch of bright acidity astringent immediately after.
Because it is clear and refreshing with a modest sense of fruit, it is a delicate delicacy with a depth of flavor that is a combination of sweet, sour, and astringent tastes!
The elegant astringent aftertaste finishes off the entire experience, but it is so refreshing that you can drink it without hesitation✨.
A gem with a sense of linearity and perfection!
It has a pleasant taste that is perfect for the hot sun every day 👐.
It's been a while since I've had Ding ❗️
Steady deliciousness 😊.
Japanese sweetness with no cloying taste
Very gentle taste 👍
As I wrote last time I drank it
It's just like Nagano sake 👍
I think I'm the type of person who drinks a lot of sake when I notice it 😅.
I think it's the type of sake that I drink a lot when I notice it 😅Tasty ❗️
Good evening, Chobin-san!
Ding-san is delicious, isn't it😋?
I had it for the first time last year and I remember it was a delicious sake with a strong rice flavor 🤤🤤.
I can't stop drinking it 😁✨✨
I bought this sake for myself as a souvenir of my trip to Ueda! I like it very much, with apple-like sweetness and rice flavor...! I heard it's hard to buy outside Ueda, I'll buy it again when I have a chance to visit Ueda again... 🥹The liquor store where I bought this had a great selection!
Praying for the safety of those who are in the warning areas and in all concerned areas who are busy responding to the tsunami warning issued this morning. ✨️
The busy summer season has been jam-packed with on-site work every weekend since the election of the House of Councillors 🌞.
The second site was successfully completed on the 26th, but we worked much longer hours than planned and were exhausted when it was over 😵.
In order to heal my tired body and get energized for the next site, I'll open a bottle of seasonal summer sake and have a drink 🍶.
Ding Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Oorigarami
First time drinking at home
I finally discovered it in June at Shusenan Mizukami in Kanazawa (✴️).
It's been over a year since I gave up buying it on my trip to Shinshu last year.
［Glass.]
The aroma of sweet rice, similar to that of ramune, the taste is refreshingly sweet and umami, as if you can feel a cool breeze blowing across your mouth, and then it finishes with a refreshingly sweet aftertaste and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma of rice is refreshing and sweet, similar to that of ramune, and the mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a full-bodied sweet umami flavor, followed by the same refreshing finish and a refreshing aftertaste.
The refreshing sweetness is perfect for this season, and can be drunk at night after sweating it out during the day, or while BBQing in the afternoon.
The entrée is the customary [yakitori from Yuben Akiyoshi].
The fourth one is a slightly full moon from the new moon that I found when I was looking at the evening view on July 28th.
This one makes me want to drink "Koei Kiku" 🤣.
Hi Jive 😃Good job ❣️
Kanae 🤍Jive you make it look so cute when you say it 😍It looks like a summer sake, crisp and delicious 🌻Yumari-tsuki makes me want to drink Koei Kiku... 🧐I need to learn how to do that 😅
Hi Jive, good evening.
Beautiful sunset - I was so taken by the sight of it, but the main course was Yubari Getsu✨.
I was impressed by the aroma of rice in the Ding-san, but since it is a summer sake, it seems to be very refreshing and very easy to drink 😋.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
The tsunami warning was a surprise 😟.
Congratulations Kanae on your first drink at home ㊗️ 🎉We felt it was too subtle for our first drink at home 🥲We'd like to try it again!
Good morning Mr. Jive 😊
Ding-chan purchased first time home drinker ㊗️ 😍
I was on a trip to Shinshu too and didn't have enough time to buy it 😭
With Akiyoshi's yakitori 😍 sounds delicious.
I wonder what time I'll see you Kanae 😅.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
You are working as hard as ever 💦 hope you are not too tired as it is very hot 🙏.
Congratulations on your first Kanae 🎉This is delicious 🎉I hope you can find a store in Kansai that carries it ❣️😊.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The typeface of "鼎" also looks somewhat like a person, which gives me a strong [Kanae-chan] feeling 🤣.
Maybe it's so imprinted that crescent moon = "Koei Chrysanthemum Snow Crescent" ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
The refreshing sweetness is comforting and intoxicating, perfect for a hot night 🥰.
The problem is that there are only a few special stores 🤔.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
That was a surprise 😲.
And it switched from a warning to an alert, which made it all the more critical 😓.
The refreshing sweetness is addicting this season 🥰.
Good evening, Ao-chan 🌛.
I was so excited that I will be drunk with "Ding" as a must from now on 🥰.
I heard that there are only 13 special stores in Japan, so it might be hard to find one 😓.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I work outside a lot in the field in the summer, and I sweat a lot every day, so a cup of sake after work is especially good for me.
I think it will suit your palate as it has a strong sweet taste. ✨️
Sake with a fruity feeling like apples & a strong rice flavor.
It's not too sweet nor too spicy, so it's easy to be accepted by anyone.
By the way, there are only 13 stores in Japan that carry it, so it's worth a try if you see it ^_^.
Yakitori and sake are the best 😋.
I enjoyed Yakitori and Sake today 🥰.
We started off with Ding-chan🍶.
It's a summer sake, so it's not too sweet and has a refreshing taste, but it's delicious 😋.
It's delicious 😋 and the sake and yakitori go well together 🥰.
Hi tomo 😃
Yakitori and Sake 😍It's nothing but the best! This yakitori restaurant looks like it has a nice atmosphere 😊I love this kind of outside drinking!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌟!
This restaurant has moved to a new location and is now chic and relaxed ☺️ nice atmosphere so you'll want to have a good drink 😁.
