A friend of mine in Hokkaido wanted to see fireflies. So I went to the "Amano Sake Firefly Party" at the Amano Sake Brewery in Kawachinagano. I was surprised to see Ofuji-san by chance at a liquor store I stopped by before going to the venue😳It was nice to talk with him. ☺️
Before viewing the fireflies, we enjoy an assortment of appetizers and drinks with a 500 yen ticket redemption coupon.
Of course, 500 yen is not enough.
The sake we paid extra for and were served was unlabeled as it was squeezed directly from the brewery. The picture is from the brewery, using AK35 yeast (I remember Amano sake being brewed with YK35, so I asked about it and was told that it was too costly. I asked him about it and he said it would cost too much.)
Lightly cloudy. (I remember that Amano sake was brewed with YK35, so I asked him about it. The Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-Genshu I drank was delicious with a fruity melon-like flavor, unlike the classic taste of Amano-shu.
We turned off the lights and watched fireflies. It was nice to be able to see them in such close proximity.
It was nice to be able to see fireflies in such close proximity 💡My friend was happy too😄.
Hi Lutemi 🐦.
It's this way! Firefly viewing ✨That's a quaint event 😊I haven't seen them for a long time because of the short period of time we can see them 💦I'd love to see them while drinking 😻.
Splendid sized appetizers! I don't have enough tickets 🤣.
Hi, Lutherthemi.
Amano sake, which I happened to get at my favorite yakitori restaurant the other day, made me react 😊.
It's so elegant to enjoy a glass of sake while admiring fireflies ✨.
Good evening, ma-ki- san 😁.
I see you drank Amano sake. It must be delicious with grilled chicken 😋 I liked the glow of the fireflies, it was very atmospheric.
The extra edition at my favorite yakitori restaurant is Amano sake.
This is the first time I've seen Osaka sake at this restaurant, but the owner served me a little to taste as I don't think it's my favorite, so here's the extra edition.
I don't often drink Osaka sake, but this kind of encounter made me realize once again how many different kinds of sake there are.
First, the aroma. The aroma is very much like sake, which I have had in the past.
When I put it in my mouth, I could feel the sake flavor, but it was not harsh, and it was a very robust sake.
Is it my favorite sake? It may not be my favorite sake, but I found it to be a very tasty sake.
Hi, ma-ki- 😀
I'm glad to see someone else drinking the same sake from the same brewery on the same day 😇.
The one I drank was light nigori, but I generally had the same impression 🤣.
Maybe it's a characteristic of Amano sake 😀.
Thanks for your comment, Yasbay.
Yes, it is true! I was also excited that you were drinking the Amano sake that I happened to receive 🎵, lol.
I will continue to enjoy the characteristics of the brewery!
㊗️Completed the second lap of my sake tour 🎉🎊
The last sake of the second lap was from my hometown Kawachinagano in Osaka 😀.
I had only had Kurehaaru sake so far, so I was ready to drink Akirika this time, but I happened to have a chance to visit the Amano sake brewery and decided on this sake as the last one😇.
We planned to walk along the mountain road from the next Kawachinagano station to visit 2 temples and then head to Amano Sake brewery near Kawachinagano station, but to our surprise the road to Kawachinagano after visiting the 2 temples was closed😅.
But to my surprise, the road to Kawachinagano after visiting 2 temples was closed😅.
In hindsight, I should have taken the train one stop after returning to the original station 🤣.
The first amazake cider I had at the Amano Sake brewery I arrived at after all this hard work was the most delicious 😇.
I asked the brewery if they had any rare sake, and they introduced me to this one 😀.
It was one of the limited 150 bottles sold at the brewery 😀.
The aroma and the first impression I had when I drank it, I felt a strong alcohol taste, but after swallowing it, I suddenly felt a sweet taste, which is something I have never felt before, but it was a delicious sake 😀.
This is the second round of my sake tour successfully completed 😇.
But now I'm graduating from the Japan tour 😀.
Good evening, Yasube 😁.
Congratulations on completing the second lap of your sake tour ㊗️🎉
The last one was a local sake from Osaka and also a limited 1/150th of a sake I've never seen before 👌.
Please don't graduate and keep up the good work on lap 3 😰😁😁.
Good evening Yasbaye 😃.
Was it Amano sake 😳⁉️The sake you walked 23km to get is precious 🤣I think it's wonderful that it's the last one like Mr. Yasbaye👍‼️I wonder when he will drink the autumn deer... 🙄.
Good evening, Yasube, and congratulations on completing your second lap: ㊗️2 Just working hard for the second lap is too much, and you're an Osaka shime 😳Amano sake, I'll have to make it to the brewery someday too.
Congratulations to Yasubeyesan for reaching the second week of the national conquest㊗️🗾🎊🗾㊗️
I'd like to learn from Yasubeje-san who made Osaka sake as his last commemorative sake 😅.
A tour of breweries is also good☺️
Congratulations to Yasube for reaching the second round 🎉!
It's a great achievement for you to reach this milestone with your best brewery limited sake after visiting all the breweries ✨.
I look forward to seeing more of your posts 🎵.
Congratulations to Yasube for achieving the second round of Osaka sake㊗️🎉Congratulations on the dedicated map 🎉It's great that you've also prepared a dedicated map👍I guess you've now conquered the home drinking 🤗Next, how about traveling all over Japan and drinking local sake ‼️ ⁉️ is actually our dream 🥹.
Good morning, Yasbay 🌅😀😀
Congratulations on your second round of the national conquest🗾㊗️㊗️It's great to achieve this with the sake you got after walking more than 20km🥳I'll be watching your posts from here on out🫡✨.
Good morning, Yasbay🌞.
Congratulations on reaching the 2 week mark ㊗️😄I'm glad you chose Amano Sake, which is close by and I had the chance to visit the brewery several times. Your energy is great 😊.
Good morning, Yasbay!
Congratulations on your second lap 🎉.
You are fast on the second lap too, I think we can expect a record record 😲.
Combined with your 23km march in the mountains achievement, it's going to be a memorable one ✨.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Second round of national conquest achieved!
Congratulations 🎊🎉.
It's amazing that you achieved it after preparing a handmade map!
You are really putting a lot of effort into this 😄.
Keep up the good Sake 🍶 life 😄!
Hi, Kojo 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I also enjoy walking and visiting temples and shrines, so next time I'd like to do a project where I visit breweries and look for rare sake while walking😇.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Thank you 🙏.
I was going to represent Osaka with Rafa papa's recommendation of Akishika until I happened to find a sake that reminded me of it 😇
Akishika is tomorrow 😀.
Hi, Hirupeco 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
Actually, I've only had Osaka sake from Kurehaaru, but there are some good breweries in Osaka too 😀.
I would love to do a tour of Osaka breweries 😀.
Hi Aladdin 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I'm the same as you, I live in Osaka, but I only drank Osaka sake from Kurehaaru, so I made a good discovery this time 😀.
There are a lot of good sake in Osaka too😇
Hi, ma-ki- 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I didn't think there was anyone who drank the same sake from the same brewery as the last sake of the second round on the same day, so I was very happy😇.
Please keep up the good work 🙇.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
Actually, our ultimate goal is to do that too, but it looks like we can't take a long vacation while I'm working now 🤣.
Shikoku sake conquest while on a Shikoku pilgrimage sounds fun too😇
Hi Maechen 😀
Thank you 🙏.
I started looking for alcohol and I basically don't use the car anymore, I take the train and walk... so that I can drink whenever I want 🤣.
Please keep up the good work 🙇.
Hi Lutertemi 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
Lutertemi, I see you have been to the Amano Sake brewery 😀.
That area has a great atmosphere and the store owner was very nice 😀 I would love to go back there again!
Hi Jive 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
We did a lot of projects this time, like comparing drinks, so I think we went around in a very nonchalant way 🤣.
From now on, I'll plan more different projects and enjoy drinking even more 😇
Hi Papagon 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
The map of Sakewa is the first round
is easy to understand, but I made the second round because I don't know if you checked in more than once in the first round or in the second round 🤣.
Hello Yasbay ^_^
Congratulations on reaching the second week of your national conquest 🎉!
The only sake I've had in Osaka is Akirika 🥲.
I personally have given up on the second week 😁.
Congratulations Yasube on reaching the 2nd week of your national conquest㊗️🎉🎊It's a limited edition sake from your hometown Osaka and you even went to the brewery to get it✨It's a great commemorative sake 😊.
Have a great sake life from now on 🤗🤗.
Congratulations Yasube on completing the second lap of your national conquest 🎉.
I'm very interested in this sake as I don't see Osaka sake very often 🎵I'm also looking forward to achieving the third lap 😊.
Hi Manta 😀
I'm in Osaka and the only Osaka sake I've ever had was Kurehaun 🤣.
I have some Akirika in the fridge so today is Akirika day 😀.
My sake touring trip is over for me too 🤣.
Hi, Sakéran 😀
I had to sneak in my goal so you wouldn't notice 🤣.
Thank you 🙏.
My next goal is to go on a walking tour of breweries as I was talking to you yesterday ❓❓😇
Hi, Tsubu 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
My next goal is to plan a project that combines my hobbies of walking and hiking in the mountains with sake 🤣.
If I had the mobility like Dora, I would be able to cover a wide area😇.
Hello, King of Noodle Wine 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
Osaka sake is not spread out to many places, so I guess the only famous one is Akirika 🤣.
But there are some interesting sakes out there, so please look for them there too😇
Congratulations to Yasube for completing the second lap 🎊
I went to Fujiidera the other day and wondered whether I should go to Amano sake or not 😅I heard it was sweet so I regretted a little 😔.
Hi bouken 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
It's quite a distance from Fujiidera too, so I'm pondering 🤣.
I still feel closer to you from Sukuimasa in Kongo 😀.
It was a pretty interesting tasting sake😇
Hi @Mizuhashi 😀
Osaka sake can be quite a hurdle for those who are not from Osaka to make a sake tour trip 🤣.
Personally, I would recommend Kurehaaru, but they only have one bottle... I recommend Akirika's multi-acid yeast that I posted yesterday😇
Yasbay, congratulations on your belated second lap of national domination 🎉🎉🗾!
I was surprised at the high speed of your second round 😳‼️ map was well worth the effort! And you got it on foot 👣It was a wonderful memory ✨.
Thank you, Pon-chan 🙏.
This time it was easier because I had prepared Sentoku in Miyazaki and Reimei in Okinawa for the second round during the first round 🤣.
My next goal is a walking tour of breweries 😀.
Amano Sake Grand Sake Party(*)
This is Amano sake's summer product.
It has the core strength of the original sake and is spicy!
I think it falls into the slightly dry category
Amano Sake is not seen at all within the range of my activities.
I was surprised to see Kuninonaga Junmai Ginjo on sale at a nearby 7-Eleven.
Kawachinagano City, Osaka Prefecture, on the occasion of sightseeing
This sake is named after "Amano-shu" which was famous as a monk's cellar sake in medieval Japan.
The one we purchased is said to be sold only at a sake brewery. It is refreshingly dry, and I enjoyed it as an in-between-dinner drink.
Amano is the name of a place in the western part of Kawachinagano City, and Kongoji Temple, where the monk's house sake was made, is still located there today. I went there as a tourist and was surprised to see sake being sold at the shrine office. I was also impressed to see a Bizen ware pot used for sake brewing in the monk's quarters, which is the same as the one in the photo inserted in Mr. Kinichiro Sakaguchi's book "Sake in Japan".
