On the second day, after visiting Kegon Falls, we will finish the trip with Utsunomiya Gyoza (dumplings)!
We will finish the trip with "Koubuna", which we drink every time we go to Utsunomiya.
Sweet and refreshing aroma like sugarcane!
The mouthfeel is light, with a hint of pear-like aroma and texture. It is dry with a dry and astringent taste, but it also has a mellow sweetness and richness that helps to reset the taste with the dumplings ✨.
We also picked up a 4-goupe bottle of "Kirifuri" at a place J&N-san told us about!
We finished our trip and Tochigi safely this year. Thank you for your help: 🙂↕️

ShikizakuraARUSHIROI 純米吟醸
nono
Thick and dense.
Aroma of wood. Rich sweetness. Sake-like and dry.
Sourness is also fairly good.
Interesting, but I think a little is enough for me. Not bad.
I bought a 300 ml bottle at the Boro Market Agricultural University booth.
I drank it right after I brought it home, but I think it tastes better when it's a little cooler.

くるま麩
Purchased at the 22nd Hankyu Sake Brewery Festival
Junmai-shu brewed with edible rice
We had it warmed in the bright moonlight with a cold wind.
It is easy to drink, with a very full rice flavor and a full-bodied aroma that lingers on the nose.
It has a full-bodied aroma that lingers on the palate.
It was delicious and warmed my body safely!
I think it was the right choice to drink it warm.

Good evening, kuruma fu 😃.
We had this one last spring too 🤗.
We had it on the rocks at the time, but it looks like it would be great warmed up 🍶 too 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Novi!
This time I drank it heated because it was bone-chilling cold🍃, but next time I'll try it chilled as well!

Shikizakura Junmai Ginjo ARUSHIROI
Mellow acidity and sweetness to a slight appleiness. It has a sharp aftertaste.

The second bottle in the Tochigi drinking comparison. This one is a special honjozo. It has a little more color than Sawahime, and the aroma was stronger and less sweet compared to Sawahime. Also, this one felt more sharp on the throat.

ことり
A little drink in Utsunomiya🐾 with Shinshin SY, J&N and Kotori
Part 4
After meeting up with J&N, it was a friendly chatting session with the sakewa members, as if we were reminiscing over a reunion with friends we haven't seen in a long time 😌.
3 local sake sake comparison...Shikizakura!
It has a smooth mouthfeel with a molasses-like sweetness and a classical sake-like flavor. It also has a rich umami flavor that would go well with sweet and spicy cooked dishes and grilled fish 😚.

Good morning, Kotori 😃.
It's really fun to have a party with friends of sake. ☺️
For those of you who use Tohoku Shinkansen, you can get off at Utsunomiya and have a party with your friends! I recommend it 🤗

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🐥I don't feel like we've met for the first time since I see Sake no Wa repo on a daily basis 🤭.
(Seriously, please be careful about the conditions of the stopover.) I recommend you to have a quick drink near the station 🤗.

The second is the first Shikizakura
Junmai Ginjo
But it's pretty robust.
Almond-like sweetness as it goes down your throat.
We had a lot of fun talking about the Tochigi Kenmin Kai!
I hope to join one day!
Before the after-party, we visited a liquor store.
We found a lot of delicious sake!
I'll have to come back next time!

酒とネイル
Long time no record keeping ✍️
I bought this at a convenience store 🥟 when I went on my Utsunomiya gyoza trip.
Beautiful label, stylish, and the color of the bottle makes me want to use sea glass✨.
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Alcohol content: 15
Rice used: 100% Tochigi no Hoshi
The aroma of the rice was a bit strong when it was cold, but when it was warmed up, it became fluffy.
I prefer it hot rather than cold.
It's clear when cold, but a little yellowish when heated.
It has a mild flavor without any harshness, which makes me want to drink it slowly 🐢.
But it has a sharp taste with no aftertaste.

Good evening, sake and nail polish. ⭐️ First of all, I'm too jealous of your Utsunomiya gyoza trip😍and I never thought I'd find a sake that heats up at a convenience store! Welcome back sakewa😊.
