It's a great way to get the flavor of the rice and It cuts straight to the point. The taste is alive in the middle of a meal. It goes well with nabe and meat dishes.

Sake Future Drinking Continued: ✨️ Brands I had no idea about 😳✨️✨️ I'm the organizer today, which is rare for me, so I'm trying to keep the pace down... But I just had a taste 😁. I asked my real sake friends to join me because I'm a little lost and unsure about sake, but I was surprised at how quickly I got used to Chichi-san after our first meeting! I'm so proud of him!

. Dry again to refresh the palate. This limited time offer sake is very light and refreshing! A good dry sake with a "super" rating is good without any spikes in stimulation. 👍️

I buy this sake every year because it is a cosy sake. It goes in smoothly and is soft at first. It is soft at first, with little acidity and umami.

First visit to Yajima Sake Shop in Funabashi A place known as a quintessential sake store. There was a large amount of nice sake on the shelves. and Houken, which I don't usually drink which is far away from the popular sake a bit strong bitterness I would say it's pungent, but... I'll give it a few more days. Enjoy the weekend! 🍶

Good morning, Momochi 😃! Yajima Sake Shop! I hear it's a TDL-like place for drinkers ‼️ I'm here to see fireworks 🎇 since yesterday, so maybe I'll take a peek before I leave 🤔.

The fireworks were amazing 🎆 I couldn't see much from my house because of the smoke, but the sound was amazing! It is often said that TDL is a drinker's TDL! Yajima Sake Brewery is the pride of Chiba, except for Imameya which is also located in Tokyo!

Good evening! It was too smoky to see well here 🥲and there was a lot of ash on the car 😓. I went to Yajima-san this morning 🚙.

I didn't know that fireworks can cause ashes...it didn't seem windy so you were close to the venue! Wish I had a good find at Yajima Sake Shop 🍶. I went to Oikawa Sake yesterday not knowing it was closed and got rejected 💦 will try again next time!

Junmai sake, super dry, spring-fed, Hachitan-Nishiki Quite sharp. The moment you put it in your mouth, you can feel the strong flavor of rice for a moment. It is not just dry.

Junmai-shu NagiraClear drinking! It is the kind of sake you would want to drink on a daily basis. There is a light bitterness in the aftertaste, and the sharpness is outstanding. It also gives the impression of being loaded with umami. Although it requires refrigeration, it tastes great even when it is close to room temperature!
