Local Sake!
Looks like Sugihara Sake Brewery has also started brewing this season✨ I hope to drink a lot of Chiyonohana this season!
The nigori release from Junmai Daiginjo is gone 😭 but I still bought 4 bottles of Jun Dai alone so I was able to fully enjoy it👍
It's juicy and the most fancy one 😋.
The brewery also sells a lot of sake-kasu related items such as sweets, breads, bean buns, etc. 🍞.
Financier with sakekasu from Imi!
The soft aroma of the sakekasu is great 👍!
Good evening, kino.
I'm jealous that you can go to the warehouse 😊♪ I want to try the financier from Imi 😚 The bread and bean paste also look delicious 😆♡ Speaking of financier, I always buy the financier from Shinshu Kamerei when I go to the warehouse ❣️
sonorous
Whenever I went to my grandma's house as a child, I was always greeted with these words.
The nostalgic words were pasted on the warehouse ✨.
Chiyonohana Special Junmai!
Sweet and juicy 🍈🍍🍓.
This is my favorite 🥰.
I heard that this special junmai is the last nigori ‼️
I heard they couldn't make nigori sake when they made a new bag for straining 💦.
They might not be releasing nigori next season 😅
Tomorrow is a paid holiday!
Is everyone okay with the typhoon?
I commute from Gifu to Nagoya by train, which takes over an hour,
My boss told me to take a paid day off tomorrow because he doesn't want me to be unable to go home after coming to work 😅. I was told by my boss about an hour before the regular time today😅.
No, no, I have work to do tomorrow💦.
So I worked overtime until 10pm and I'm still on my way home 😇 There's nothing to do at home tomorrow, so I'll probably start drinking in the morning 🍺.
Chiyonohana, a local brand of Imi!
I like the gusto of the alsobe👍.
It's delicious with a rich sweetness followed by a sharpness 🥰.
I got this from kino.🍶.
I can only thank him for giving me so much 🙇.
It's sweet and delicious ‼️ but not cloying and exquisite taste 😋 reaffirms that it's a great sake 😉.
I played mahjong 🀄 with Cape Echimisaki while drinking here...,
I lost a lot of money 😭4 consecutive defeats 😫I have a feeling this season is going to be a trial 😨.
Chiyonohana Special Jun at home
This is the second year we have started drinking it.
It has a slightly golden color, a little spicy, a little hot, and a little rice flavor.
It tastes a little bit of rice.
It has a good umami taste and is good as a food sake!
Today I was able to come to my favorite standing bar, chuin, after a long time 😊.
First, here is a Chiyonohana Shiboritate Nama Tsume, a local limited edition from Sugihara Sake Brewery, which brews Imi.
It is aged in ice temperature for about 5 months, a specialty of chuin.
The exterior is a warm crystal.
The aroma is very gorgeous, yet gentle, with hints of apple and melon.
The soft mouthfeel is stimulated by the tingling alcohol.
It starts with acidity, develops into a molasses-like sweetness, and then the sharp alcohol rush to the back of the throat.
It has a good sharpness and a short aftertaste.
As the sip goes on, a slight bitterness seeps through from the mid-palate to the back of the mouth, and there is a slight astringency on the tongue.
It retains the freshly squeezed flavor, but the ice aging has made the stimulation milder.
This is the kind of sake you want to linger over in a bottle.
This has nothing to do with sake, but 4 elderly men and women came to the bar and made a lot of noise in a very Kansai-like (sorry, I mean bad) way 😅.
Fortunately, they didn't get involved with us, so we were able to enjoy our drinks.
When I enjoy good sake, I want to be beautiful in the way I drink it 😌 and at the same time, I think it is important to age well 😌.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
This is a local exclusive from Mr. Imi's brewery! Looks like we won't be seeing you in person anymore😅.
There's a big difference between having fun 😄 and being intensely gawky 🥴 🤔 I hope to age well 😌.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
There are rumors that if you reserve a table at the warehouse, you can get one if you wait, but I'm just standing around drinking 😊.
They were obnoxious old men, yelling, tangling with the owner, trying to sing 😌.
Good evening, Aladdin-san. It's been a while since you had a bad experience at chuin-san. I want to have fun and drink in moderation, I tell myself 😅Chiyonohana, the feeling of wanting to linger over a bottle of sake, no that's good 😆🍶.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
I don't dislike it so much, but I felt sorry for the sake being drunk that way 😅I have to correct myself by watching other people's behavior 😅.
Chiyonohana was a sake like sake that was bright but also got soft and gentle with maturity 🍶😊.
Freshly squeezed sake given to me by kino. who was squeezing it in Susukino: ❤️
I've only ever gotten Sugihara-san's sake as a gift_(:3」∠)_
The fruity aroma is mild and mellow.
The sweetness is accented by a slight bitterness. The lingering aftertaste disappears nicely, but only the bitterness remains softly.
It is a sweet jungin sake, but it is also a good sake to drink with food.
Thank you kino.
600 check-in ✌
The first sake we will serve is "Chiyonohana" by Sugihara Shuzo, a famous sake brewer in Izumi.
This sake was given to us by Mr. kino❗
Thank you very much 🙇.
I don't know how difficult it is to understand, but it was a happy moment when I was intoxicated by the beautiful sake 🎵
Hello, Noodle Wine King.
Congratulations on your 600th check-in 🥳.
That's a rare sake that deserves to be a Kiri number.
I'm from a neighboring prefecture,
I've never even seen a real one 🤣.
I am so envious 😭
Congratulations to the King of Noodle Sake for 600 check-ins: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kilin number with a rare drink from kino. It was a nice celebration 👍✨I'd love to meet you😻
Good evening, Noodle Sake King 🌃😀.

Good evening, Noodle Sake King😄!
Congratulations on your 600 check-in 🎉㊗️🎉Congratulations on the last number and the rare sake ☺️I haven't seen it yet myself, I'd like to try it someday 🤣.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Mr. Noodle🎊!
I felt like I made a congratulatory comment just recently?
The cycle is so fast that my head is 🌀🧐.
Maybe I'm drunk 😁.
Good evening, King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm jealous of you because I've never even seen a rare sake with the number 👍 neither here nor in Imi 😋.
Noodle, congratulations on 600 check-ins🎊This one is sweet but certainly not cloying 😆 There isn't much variety of sake in Gifu even in Ibaraki, so I hope kino. will send us a variety of brands 🤣.
Good evening, Noodle Wine King brethren 🌇.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉!
I was surprised to hear that you chose this restaurant based on your friendship with kino.👍
I haven't experienced Chiyonohana yet, so I'd like to try it.
I'd like to try it.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Drink King 🌛.
Congratulations on reaching 600 check-ins 🎉Your pace is very fast😲.
I think I'll take a drive in search of sake since Gifu sake is not well distributed despite being in the neighboring prefecture 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉Imi is our goal, but more than that it's rare sake 😳I love your connection with people 🤗.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menzhuoha! ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️
Chiyonohana is delicious 😋 The last Jungin of the season will be delivered this month👍.
Gifu sake is full of both sweet and spicy delights 😆.
Good evening, yan 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I was able to drink Imi last year thanks to Tsubu-chan, but it's hard to get it on your own 😅I envy you that there are so many great sake in the Chubu region 😆.
Maechen, good evening 😃.
Thank you 😌.
A glass of rare sake is the best ✨I'm looking forward to opening a bottle of Ishikawa sake as I have a stock of Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory which I haven't had yet 😊.
Good evening, Masa 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I think Masa-san and I are in the same situation of enjoying Sake while asking how my wife is doing 😅Let's enjoy Sake while pushing each other to the very edge 🎵.
Good evening, Ane 😃.
Thank you 😌.
If you get the top rank in mahjong, kino. might give you a gift 😁.
I can't catch up to your number of bottles 😅we drink different amounts 😂.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I've reached early because I boosted my sake at the Tokyo Mahjong training camp 😁.
Let's continue to drink so much delicious sake that we lose track of the number of times we drank 😉.
Good evening, TOMO 😃.
Thank you 😌.
It's not easy to find them in Kumamoto 😅I don't see them in Hokkaido either 😭I'm sure they're sold somewhere, but they're an urban legend now 😲.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine 🌆.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins🎊㊗️🎉
I haven't experienced chiyonohana yet😅.
I'll celebrate with a rare sake 🍶 from kino. which deserves to be the first one 👍.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I would like to try a variety of delicious Ibaraki sake 😊There must be some lesser-known but beautiful sake in each region ❗Searching for them is one of the ways to enjoy sake 🎵.
Good evening, Brother Haruei Chichi 😃.
Thank you 😌.
It was a great success with a burst of friendship power with kino. 💪The deep bond between Gifu and Hokkaido❗Well, I just benefited from it one way 😅.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I don't see them even in neighboring prefectures, so Hokkaido is even tougher 😅It's nice to be able to drive to Gifu 😆 There are many places I'd like to visit like the Hida region ❗
Good evening, takeshon 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I don't know if I can call you a person of virtue😅I don't have the words to return to you if you call me a hyena of the sakewa kai 😅.
I really appreciate all of you 🙏.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😌.
Without meeting kino. we wouldn't have been able to drink Sugihara Sake Brewery's sake😊.
I realize that Sake-no-wa is a really nice app ✨.
Good evening kino.😃
Thank you so, so much 🙇.
I'm sorry I got so many other things 🙏.
What 💦 will you get it again ⁉️ I'm too happy 😆 heck even if my wife is mad at me 😁.
Ace, good evening 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I envy you because there are a lot of good sake in Aichi ❗It seems like there are a lot of good sake breweries as well as good liquor stores ❗
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menzake King㊗️🎊🎉🍾🎊㊗️
Chiyonohana, I love it too ☺️ Sugihara sake brewery makes the brewing alcohol to sleep to make it blend better with the sake 🤔 but well, I want to enjoy this sake without such logic 😁.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Noodle Sake King: ㊗️🎉🎊😆🙌Congratulations on the Chiyonohana 😆👍When we meet again, I'll bring you a shot of eimi 🤗♪
Congratulations to the King of Noodle Wine for 600 check-ins ㊗️🎉🎊
I've received many different drinks from many different people and I always think it's because of your personality 😊I look forward to more reviews 😌.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menchan 🎊㊗️🎉!
Chiyonohana ✨ is a perfect fit for Kiri.
That's the best 👍
I got mine from kino. and it's delicious 😆.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Noodle: ㊗️🎉
Chiyonohana, I had never heard of it before😳
That's great that a great rare sake is the Kiri number 👍Men-san's human virtue 😊.
Hi Aladdin 😃.
Thank you 😌.
You put a lot of time and effort into brewing delicious sake by laying down the brewing alcohol to settle 😲 each one ❗ Aladdin is very knowledgeable 😉.
Hi Rafa papa 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I am the hyena of the sakewa world ⁉️
I'm not the healer of the sakewa world, I'm the sneaky one😅.
I am the one who has you all to thank for your support! Please continue to patronize me 🙏.
Hi Jikon 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I really envy you for having a good sake brewery and liquor store in the area 😊I would love to have an off-line meeting with you and Jikon to talk about tongue and cheek! 😆😆
Hi Maru 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I can't believe I'm a werewolf 😅I'm a werewolf, an erotic wolf in human skin 🐺Let's have an erotic writhing while drinking sake today 😳.
Good morning Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I was miraculously able to get some of the sake from other sources 😊There are many good sake shops in the east of Hokkaido but not as many varieties as in central Hokkaido.
The izakaya owner graciously allowed us to drink it!
We were talking about Imi, Jyushiyo, and Shinmasa, and he said he had some purchased from the brewery! and ...
Chiyonohana⁈I thought (I've never heard of this brand 💦) and looked at the label and it said Sugihara Shuzo! The owner said that Izumi is sweeter than Chiyonohana!
I tried it and it was sweet enough! If it's sweeter than this, I'm going to get tired of drinking it.
Chiyonohana is sweet but has a sharpness to it, which I imagine is similar to Kahanoyaka.
Personally, I liked it, but I think it is not available very often, so I was satisfied to have a very rare sake!
4.6/5
Freshly squeezed by KINO. (meaning "freshly squeezed")
The aroma is mild and the flavor is outstanding.
The lingering aftertaste that slowly fades away is also very pleasant!
Thank you kino.
This is the sake that kino. gave me 🍶.
I could drink Chiyonohana again this year✨!
It's from the brewery in Imi, right? Thank you for this precious sake 🙏.
It's quite sweet, but strangely I don't get tired of drinking it 😉 It's a good sake after all 😊.
Thank you so much kino.
kino. thank you ‼️
I got a local sake from Imi ‼️‼️
The master of the izakaya I often go to has been asking for a bottle of ikimi for a while, so I brought it in and drank it 👍.
Cheers to the 6 of us, including the regulars 🥂.
The aroma is like pineapple from a can. It is a little sweet with a hint of sourness.
When we drank it, it was so sweet 🥂‼️‼️
I knew this brewery was sweet 🤣.
However, I personally like it better than the previous Sagami because it has a little more sharpness than the Sagami I drank before 😊.
If it didn't have this sharpness, I wouldn't be able to drink it as a refreshing drink 😥.
I think it's a good idea to have a little bit of a kick to it! I can't drink a lot of it 😂.
I paired it with Master's homemade pizza and the sweetness is nice with the cheese 🍕 Well, it's sweet though 🤣.
I always order a bottle of beer first,
I always get two glasses when I ask for it 🥂.
On this particular day, it was crowded and they only had one of the usual glasses and the other one was a little bigger.
I asked them to pour beer into both, the smaller glass for me and the larger glass for the master...
Hm? Hey wait ‼️ it's the other way around 🤣.
I told him to drink it and he drank it smiling 🤣.
Manachie, good morning!
I see you served Chiyonohana ✨ This brewery only makes sweet sake 😆.
Well, it's just a commemorative drink✋ Next time I'll send you a sake that will suit Manachie properly😊.
Hi Manachie 😃
I can tell you're enjoying your restaurant 🎵It's interesting to talk and drink with the regulars ✨I start talking downstairs in the middle of the day 😓.
Hi Choroki 😃The master of this restaurant is crazy, he plays games with us every time ‼️ and drinks a lot of tequila as a punishment😇.
Chiyonohana is sweet too🤣.
Hi kino.😃I brought in some sake for you since you said you wanted to drink it ‼️ and we had a sake fair together 😆 I'm waiting for some maniac sake from Gifu 😆.
Hi Noodle-chan 😃we met at an izakaya and we've been camping and going to yakiniku and we're mysterious friends 😆Noodle-chan, even if you're not drunk, you're still talking down 🤣.
Manachie-san Good evening.(^o^) This is my first time to see Chiyonohana! So it's a local sake from Imi! It's true that Imi has a sweetness to it. I am curious about the combination with pizza.
Hi Sashu, good evening. ❗️ I was thinking that sweet drinks might be good with chocolate, and if you want, I had a cake this day, but it didn't go very well with sweet things 🤣 if you get one, order a pizza 🤣.
Easy to drink with a refreshing aroma.
Freshly squeezed and a little bit spicy.
I was told I should drink it as soon as possible because the bacteria seemed to be alive, so I drank it that day.
It was fruity and really good!
I received it as a congratulatory gift from one of my favorite people who has been so kind to me! Thank you!
This is a freshly squeezed special honjozo of Chiyonohana.
It is a local brand of Sugihara Shuzo (Ibi-gun, Gifu Prefecture), which brews Imi, and comes in three varieties: junmai ginjo, special junmai, and special honjozo.
This summer I drank a junmai ginjo that had been aged in ice temperature for five months, but this is my first time drinking a special honjozo or a truly freshly squeezed one.
The appearance is warm crystal.
The aroma of rice and koji is fresh, with a strong hint of green bamboo.
The mouthfeel is full of deep sweetness and firm umami, followed by a slightly stimulating acidity that quickly spreads to the palate and finishes with a slight alcohol taste.
The lingering aftertaste is a gentle sensation of acidity and alcohol.
After swallowing, there is a big impact 😳.
The 17 degrees gives a thump to the body that has been accustomed to low alcohol drinks.
When you roll it around in your mouth and let it get some air, the acidity dissipates and you can enjoy the juicy sweetness and thick umami, which is a nice touch.
It has a strong flavor, but the acidity and the sharpness of the alcohol make it easy to drink.
It seems to be very satisfying, though it will make you feel very drunk very soon 😄.
I was thinking that I envy the locals ☺️ and was told that unlike Imi, Chiyonohana is sold by reservation at the brewery and comes with sakekasu (sake lees) 🍶.
I'll ask for it when I get a chance.
Thanks for the treat 🍶.
Hi Aladdin 😃.
It's a sister brand of Imi, isn't it?
I envy you because you don't get to see it in Kyushu very often: ❗️
I wish I could experience the impact of the brand!
Hi Haruei Chichi 😃
You don't see it very often in Kansai, but this restaurant serves it sometimes: ☺️
It was like an antidote because I swallowed the first sip and it came with a bang even though the flavor was strong but I didn't feel any harshness or anything!
Chiyonohana overslept!
Unlike Sogape, this one I meant to drink earlier but forgot 😅.
I put it in the fridge for a while,
It was more yellowish than when it was freshly made!
First, the regular sake!
The freshness is still there, but it has calmed down a bit!
The rich sweetness is still there, and the pineapple has increased 🍍.
Next, the nigori sake!
This one was still a bit more ✨
I think this one is easier to drink with a tangy bitterness 😋.
This one is more melon than pineapple 🍈.
The nigori is for in-store pickup only👍
I guess Chiyonohana tastes better if you drink it right away!
I'll make a reservation soon!
Hello kino.
I see you compared the drinks! I'm jealous of your 🍍 even if you oversleep 😊 ❣️
The shutter of the brewery? I like it, stylish and witty 🎶.
Hi Pon, good morning!
I could drink it well even if I let it sit too long, but it still seems to have a weak liquor quality, so it's better to drink it right after you buy it😅.
This is the outside wall of the parking lot! There are logos and art all over the brewery😊.
