Arrived in Ito and bought it at a local liquor store.
This was also in dancyu, lol.
I paid for it to be brought in and drank it at dinner at the hotel. It was delicious, with a refreshing acidity and smooth taste!
It was my first drink ✨
Elegant sweetness with a core that cuts through the aftertaste 😍I never got tired of drinking it no matter how much I drank, and it was gone in no time 🤣.
I have a new favorite brand 💕
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☀️ I think this is a sake lover's favorite! It's not spectacular, but you can drink it forever without getting tired of it 🥰 if you see it ✨.
Japanese Cuisine at Soma in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture
Warabi-mochi-like aroma
Sharp sourness and umami flavor
Very good with Japanese set menus!
Today I will drink the sake I received.
This is the first Kikusen I have ever had.
It seems to be made from Fujieda Yamada-Nishiki rice
It seems to be made from Fujieda Yamada-Nishiki rice.
The aroma has an apple-like fruitiness.
After the initial umami, a spiciness comes slowly.
I had it with oden, but the spiciness seemed to stand out because of the sweetness of the oden 🤔.
I feel that the spiciness stands out 🤔.
It is delicious with yellowtail jerky or grilled fish. I think it goes well with salty things like sashimi and grilled fish. Delicious✨
Since the other day, I've been in the mood for a sake that is easy to pair with side dishes. I'm going to buy some dry sake, which I usually don't choose.
I have an image of light and dry sake, so I have probably had it at an izakaya before, but I had never bought it before. This is my first brand.
Tonight's meal is tuna and sesame buri. I opened the bottle immediately.
Yes, it is light and dry. Just as I wanted. Just as I wanted it to be.
Next time, I'll try heating it up.
Sake that you buy regularly and keep at home
Good cold sake, good at room temperature, and good warmed sake.
It has a mild umami flavor that spreads gradually, and the spiciness is enhanced when it is heated.
It goes well with Japanese food, but is also good as a stand-alone sake.
At the end of last year, I took a day trip to Izu with three of my drinking mom friends ⁉️, or rather, we spent a day soaking in sake. This is the sacred sake of Raikyu Shrine.
This shrine is said to be visited by people to abstain from alcohol as well as for family safety, good harvest, and prosperous business... We did not abstain from alcohol, but drank the sake with the hope that we could continue to drink in good health and not fail even if we drank. And I have paid for the amulet in the third picture "sake difficulty prevention"...now I am invincible 😆.
Last summer, I couldn't see the fireworks 🎆because I drank too much ⁉️ and the fireworks were over....
This time, I went to Izu where I could see the last fireworks in 2023, and watched them safely under the cold weather for 20 minutes 🎆 with revenge.
Happy New Year, Yucachin 🎍 and all the best for the new year: 🙇♂️
Oh, no! I thought you were going to abstain from alcohol 😆 You have a strong will 🤣.
Good evening, Yucachin 😃Hope to see you again this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
It's nice to have a drinking session with my mom's friends! Shivering in the cold 🥶 watching the fireworks must have helped you get rid of the alcohol and drink even more afterwards 😆.
Pon-chan, I look forward to seeing you again this year! It's so funny that you go to visit for drinks, isn't it? ⁉️ It was great to see the fireworks too 🎆.
Thanks again, takeshon, and I look forward to working with you this year! No more alcohol? I don't know what you are talking about 👽.
I'm sure you are strong-willed 💪 I'll be drinking hard this year too! I have a good luck charm 🤣.
Manachie, I look forward to working with you again this year! What? Not too much sake ⁉️ They spilled it into the Masu and didn't put it in! I thought they were stingy 😁.
Jay & Nobby, I wish you a happy new year! I know you well 😁 I slipped out of the store and drank some more hot water when I got back! The owner was very kind and said "come back after you see the fireworks" 😆 I'll get on that right away 🤣.
Good evening, Yucachin🌆.
I know it's late, but Happy New Year 🎍.
I'll ask God for a favor, but I'm not going to make a wish to abstain from alcohol.
You are a true example of a drinker 😆.
Let's drink and post again this year ❗
