In February, Shinkame Shuzo was at a nearby department store and I tasted a variety of their sake and liked it, but did not buy it because there was still some Shinkame left at that time.
At that time, I was told that Hikomago was a 100% Yamadanishiki version of Shinkame.
The other day, I went to the same department store and found both Shinkame and Hikoson on the shelf, so I ended up buying Hikoson.
Once again, I realized that Yamada-Nishiki is a rice that is sweet and pleasant to the palate when made into sake.
In the winter, I think I will be drinking Hikomago or Shinkame warmed up as a regular. I'm going to enjoy it until it gets a little warmer and look forward to buying the next one before the end of the year.
Tochigi Prefectural Association⛄️Winter Women's Meeting🤗⑩
The master's secret sake, which is aged at minus 10℃ for more than 3 years and shipped after waiting for the right time to drink.
It was a very happy time for me to be able to drink so many delicious sake ✨.
Thanks to the master and everyone as always 😌.
I checked later and it was over 13,000 yen for a bottle 🫢.
Kotori, thanks for the review of the girls' party😊It was fun, delicious and a really great time ☺️♡ Well, now that we both finished the race, it's time to make plans for the next one 😝 when ❓🤣
Good evening, Mr. Muro 🐥.
I was impressed by the precious and rare drinks ✨Thank you for meeting us ✨Four hours of talking and drinking went by quickly and we had a wonderful party 🥹.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 🐥.
I was also impressed by the unique and delicious sake that is hard to find 🥹It took me a long time, but I finished my post 🥹 🏃♀️➡️ I'm already planning my next one 🤣 looking forward to the spring party 🤭.
Congratulations to Kotori-san and Tsubu-chan for finishing the race. ☺️ Nanoha continues to be a slacker! But don't worry, I'm drinking! I'm drinking 🤣🤣𐤔
Good evening, Kotori 🌙
I enjoyed reading your review of the Prefectural Women's Association 🥳.
I was so happy to see how well everyone got along with each other ♫
Nanoha, good morning 🐥.
Thanks 😊It took me a while, but somehow 😅Please post at your own pace! The annual Nanohigu pair spring sake trip is almost here! Enjoy 🤗
Good morning, Kotaro 🐥.
There are 10 bottles lined up, but refills are allowed, so I drank a lot 🤪🤪Thanks to the master ✨He really is! It's hard to believe that we met at Sake no Wa, we've become such good friends 🥂🥹🥹uruuruuru!

Finally, the last one!
Kotori's bus 🚌 and
My train🚃 time is almost up: ‼️
The teacher (the owner) said
"This was 💰 expensive!"
she mumbled in a whisper.
Nanu⁉️ heard that it was an expensive drink
I can't stop drinking it 🤣.
Cheers 🥂
Oops! It's refreshing with flavor and acidity!
There is also a hint of sweetness!
I'm sure it will taste even better if it's heated up!
I'm running out of time, so it won't be possible tonight...
I wish I could try heating it up 🍶♨️
4 hours from 5pm to 9pm
We drank and talked and talked and drank
It was so much fun 🥳🎶.
I couldn't say goodbye to her because I was so sad to leave έ🎶...
Let's have a girls' night out on a regular basis 🤗.
For a girls' chatting party
I think we had a lot to drink 🤭.
See you next time!
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 🌙
I enjoyed reading your post on the Prefectural Women's Association 🥳.
You had a lot of good drinks, starting with the toast and the suggestions from the teachers 😆.
Your fun and cheerful atmosphere cheered us up as well 😊✨.
Good morning, Tsubu 🐥.
You were able to get all the way up to the last one 🤗 Good job! I also have 2 more bottles to go! It's great to have a cold one too 😚Drink or have lunch, I'm looking forward to seeing you again 😉.
Good evening, Kotaro 😊.
I'm glad to tell you how much fun we had at the girls' party: ☺️
If you were there, I think you would have been overwhelmed by the energy of the chatter 🤣This time we didn't have Tochigi sake, but we were happy to drink many good drinks including a nice toast 🥰.
Good evening, Kotori 😊.
I managed to get to the last one 😌Kotori-chan, you have 2 more to go! Good luck 👍Yes, this sake had a great flavor anyway, didn't it?
Yes, please ♡ Let's enjoy lunch & drink 🤗
Thanks a lot, Mr. Muro😄♪
I'm sure you had a great lineup at the girls' night out 😘.
As soon as I got home, I was asked "what did you drink?" 😝 jealous ❓ Maybe I'm okay now! I'll probably be fine now! Because I have a Shinsei party with Mr. Muro waiting for me 🤣.
Hi, Tsubu 🐦.
10 drinks is awesome! I'm drinking, drinking 😆 I thought the chat was definitely a very satisfying party, but it's awesome that the drinkers are lining up too 😻 very satisfying too👍.
Nanu, I haven't heard that in a while 🤣.
Good evening, Pon!
I'm sure we all love sake 😄 We drank a lot of it while we chatted 🤣.
I guess we don't use "nanu" anymore 🤣Oh no🫢I'm getting all Showa 〰︎😝
Last sake of the year.
First aged sake. My first Shinkame.
I knew it was famous for its heated sake, but it was so good! It is impressively good both at room temperature and heated! It has a unique sweetness and umami that may not be to everyone's liking! It's as good as it gets!
I wonder if other breweries have such good aged sake? I would like to try many other breweries!
Thank you!
Meeting with Mr. TOMO 202411
We are drinking heated sake from the previous Kurumasaka to the last sake 🍶.
Shinkame, which I drank at the brewer's festival, but it was the last one, so I don't remember much about it 🐢.
First, let's start with Hikoson.
It's delicious with a hint of sweetness 😋.
If you have both Hikoson and Kamikame, you want to compare them, don't you?
So...
The meeting surrounding TOMO 2024④.
Old sake discovered by tomo-san?
Bouken-san recommended it?
Starting with that, we started the heated sake series!
Kurumazaka 20 Year Old Sake Aged at Room Temperature
Last time I drank this sake, it felt like Shaoxing sake.
It's easy to drink, though it does get a little sharp when heated up!
Warmed up.
This is my first time drinking it!
Mellow and delicious. ❣️
Shinkame Handmade Junmai, warmed up.
More umami and rich than Hikomago!
It will be delicious warmed up in the coming season 🍁.
Both tastes were something I would like to enjoy at home 🍶.
Good evening Pon, good evening 😃😃They all look delicious ❤😆I wonder what Kurumazaka's 20 years will taste like aged at room temperature ❗I hope so 🎵I want to drink it 😋.
Hi Ponchan, Hi ☺️ Looks like a fun offline meeting! I am envious! It's very reluctant to have not only Shinkame but also Hikoson as well! It is my favorite sake, although it has some quirks. It is a sake that tastes great even when heated and cooled. ☺️
Hi pyonpyon 🐦.
I was scared because it's aged at room temperature, but it's like a whiskey, ❣️ when it's heated up, it gives an alcoholic feeling, but the taste is softer than at room temperature, which I prefer 😊I would love to have a warming contest 😁.
Hi, Minamijikki 🐦.
I've only had both of them heated, but I was surprised at how different they are 😳 Hikoson is my favorite and I would love to drink it at home! I'd love to try both heated and cooled at different temperatures 😆.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄
It was a fun time at the party with TOMO: ☺️
It's nice to be able to compare so many heated sake drinks 🤗.
It's great to see all the Sake-no-wa members from all over the country traveling or on business trips and stopping by on the way 🤗.
Good morning, Tsubu 🐥.
I'm sure you'll enjoy this unique offline meeting 😁.
I'd like to attend offline meetings in other areas too! I bet each one has its own unique characteristics😊I'd love to visit Tochigi too 💕.
