At an izakaya in Umeda.
They have local sake from 47 prefectures, and the first drink was Reimei, a sake from Japan's southernmost sake brewery.
It tastes like Awamori, like Okinawa, but it also has a sourness that makes it a good mid-meal drink. 🙆♂️
We are now only one prefecture away from conquering all 47 prefectures of Japan!
Rice polishing: 70%.
Alcohol: 16% abv.
Long time no see trip to Okinawa: ✈️
It's been two years and one of the main attractions of this trip was to drink Okinawan sake!
I asked at a sushi restaurant on the first day, but they didn't have any Okinawan sake...
The next day, after visiting a total of 4 liquor stores and supermarkets, there was nothing in stock... So I was told that there might be no shipment this year, and that if there was any in Okinawa, it would be here! The next day we went to 4 liquor stores and 4 supermarkets....
I took my family and drove an hour to the store...! 👍
I'm so happy with the result...!
Classic mellow sake 🍶.
Not too peculiar, slight sweetness from the rice, and a lingering bitterness.
A sake that I never get tired of drinking. I thought it might be a fresh sake or a fragrant sake since it is somewhat warm in this area, but I was wrong in a good way!
Okinawa's 🍶, I see what you mean 🧐.
It is the barrier to conquer 47 prefectures and
The 46th drink
Okinawa Sake Reimei
The same name as the cultural festival of my high school
From an online article
I heard that the brewery stopped making sake for a while and another company will move its production base to Ishigaki Island and resume production in 26 years.
Then we won't be able to get it for a while.
I can't wait!
I doped up and ordered it by airmail ✈️ 🙇.
Classical taste at room temperature
It's lukewarm!
It's cold today, so we'll try heating it up too!
It's delicious!
The last one is leftover Yamanashi!
Good evening, Momochi 😃.
This can't be helped 😅approved doping 🤗It's rare to have the middle one left at the end 🤔and I dare to say Yamanashi sake🍶 is the big one ‼️ I can't wait to see what's coming 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
There are a few places where you can get Yamanashi sake, but now, what to drink 😆.
I guess I'll just play it safe and go with that sake 🍶.

National conquest㊗️🎉The last one was still Okinawa (^_^;)
It has a strong graininess and a sweetness in the back, but it's unnoticeable.
It was a strange reddish sensation 🍶.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
I found myself looking for sake from prefectures I've never tried before.
From now on, I'll be looking for my favorite sake and
I would like to enjoy sake freely and happily with reference to your check-in.

Congratulations on your round-the-Japan 🎊🎉㊗️
I also completed my second lap on the same day😇.
I hope to enjoy it in a different way from now on 🤣.
The spring sake army has settled down, so I opened another bottle today. This is the 6th round of the same Honjozo, so I'll spare you my impressions: 🙂↕️
It has a strong, full flavor like Awamori and Shochu, and a punchy spiciness and acidity!
I heard that the production system will be changed in the future, but I look forward to seeing the reborn "Reimei" sometime in the future👍.
In the quest to conquer all prefectures, Okinawa Prefecture stands as a high obstacle.
Sake = Awamori, and "Reimei" is the only sake available in Okinawa Prefecture.
Since it is difficult to obtain in the mainland, I managed to get a bottle during my visit to Okinawa!
I think it has a slight reddish tinge.
The top aroma may be preconceived, but it has a faint banana-like flavor.
In the mouth, it has a solid and matured feeling.
The rice-derived graininess is strong... The rice polishing ratio is 70%.
Sake reflects the local climate.
It would go well with Okinawan cuisine, such as raftage.
According to the store where we bought it, the production in Uruma City on the main island of Okinawa will last until 23BY.

It may become more and more difficult to obtain.
Kwachi-Sabatan!

Good morning, Hakata Sabaski 😃.
The most difficult step to conquer the whole country😅We got Junmai Sake too🤗Wow! It's even more difficult to get ⁉️ people will go to Ishigaki to buy sake 😆.
Jay & Nobby.
Thank you for your comment.
Yes...it may be difficult to obtain even on the main island of Okinawa in the future.
We were lucky to get one of the precious bottles from the last year of production on the main island!
