My hard-to-find sake (4)
This is the real hard to find sake, Reimei from Okinawa 🤣.
I know that you guys have tried to go around Japan and you can't go further than Okinawa and Miyazaki prefectures 😅.
I have cleared Miyazaki prefecture at the beginning of the second lap, so if I clear Okinawa prefecture, the second lap is almost a done deal too. It's definitely a hard-to-find sake 🤣.
In case you're wondering, I won't be attempting the third round 😅.
I'm done with the hard work of searching for it and the taste is not worth it 😇
The taste of Reimei is not so bad to be honest, but it tastes like the sake that is often served at all-you-can-drink izakaya 😀.
Good evening, Yasube!
It's really hard to find 💦.
I looked for it there and couldn't find it, and ended up buying it at the airport on my way home! 😁.
Miyazaki is also difficult to find, thanks for the information 🙏.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
It's great that you are so prepared to secure two sakes of Reimei for the second lap 😳👍.
I can see the goal of the second lap of your Japan sake tour trip is almost in sight ☺️
But the pressure of the sake to be compared with Reimei is amazing 😄.
Hi Robin 😀
It is quite difficult to buy Sentoku sake from Miyazaki prefecture in Kansai, but if you go to Miyazaki, you can find it in supermarkets 😇.
In my case, I was able to buy it because of the information that they put it out at a product exhibition in Miyazaki 🤣.
Hi Aladdin 😀
The store seemed to be having a hard time selling any sake at all, and they thanked me when I said I would buy the two small bottles they had left in bulk😇.
The only people who would go out of their way to buy it would be those who are doing a round-the-japan trip to get it 🤣.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Private trip to Okinawa ❓....I envy you😇
If I go to Okinawa, I don't think I will buy any more 🤣.
I have all the rest of the second round of sake on standby, so all I have to do is drink it 🤣.
Let me record this.
I went to a brewery in Okinawa when I found out they had Okinawan sake.
I went to the brewery in Okinawa because it was closed at an inopportune time, so I looked around for it and found that no stores around me had it 💦.
When I was about to give up and go home in tears, I found it at the airport! 😊.
I was informed that they had junmai sake, but all they had was brewed sake.
One of the purposes of my trip to Okinawa was to buy some local sake, so I bought it anyway 💰 and drank it slowly when I got home.
It tasted almost the same as the regular brewed sake 👍.
Now I want to try Junmai sake if they have it 😃.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo, nice to meet you! I heard there is sake in Okinawa, so I went to the brewery 👍.
I don't think it's a good place for sightseeing though 🤣.
Robin, good evening 🌛It's amazing that you went all the way to Okinawa 😳When I start sake no wa, I want to fill in the map and conquer the whole country, but you already conquered the hardest obstacle Okinawa 😁It is a precious sake that few stores even in Okinawa sell 😊.
Good morning bouken 😃.
I was lucky to make it to the warehouse in Okinawa with the help of my friends 😁.
I was impatient when the local store didn't have Reimei 💦.
Good morning, Nemuchi. ☀️
Thanks to all of you, I was able to learn about sakekawa. I was about to bury my records 💦.
I'm tempted to fill in the map once I start this 😁.
Hi Robin 😀
You are indeed a man of action, Robin, and you are going all the way to Okinawa to visit sake 😀.
If you conquer Okinawa and Miyazaki prefectures, you will be able to see the whole Japan 😀.
Hi Yasube, ☀️
I'd love to visit Miyazaki Prefecture without sake 🤣I'm basically a person who wants to go there, but I don't have a chance to visit Kanto and Tohoku 😭.
This sake was definitely going to be the last one if I were to conquer all the prefectures of sake🍶.
My kid who went to Okinawa bought me the one that is only available in Okinawa as a souvenir.
When you open the bottle, the color of the sake is red from the unique sweet aroma!
The taste is also unique and a bit sour.
It is a sake that I have never tasted before and I thought it would be good for those who want to taste something different.
Hi Nokoaki 😃
I'm sure you've got a lot of Okinawan sake 🍶 to conquer in Japan! You must have good kids to bring back a bottle of Reimei Junmai Sake as a souvenir 🤗A little more to go! I see that there are a few more prefectures left 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
I've been enjoying buying sake in stores without using mail order, so I've given up on mail order for Reimei, but I didn't expect this!
I'm sure you're right 💦 I'm going to enjoy the sake life while having fun with that too!
#Funabori#
Tonight we had a rare sake.
Japan's southernmost sake😮.
When you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet aroma.
Not what I imagined 🤔.
On the palate, light acidity and fruity
The taste spreads.
It's pretty tasty 😆.
Just a reminder 🙏.
I came to "Mozu" in Yokogawa, the second restaurant of the day, for the first time in a long time...it was on the stamp rally card I got at "SAKE BASE" 😅.
I finally got to drink this sake from Okinawa, the southernmost brewery in Japan 🤩.
It is indeed very peculiar 🍶.
A friend in Okinawa sent me one 🍾.
The color is light pink. Rare.
The aroma is faintly tingling.
In the mouth, one senses a powerful acidity, but also a sense of a buzz. Although alcohol is felt, it soon disappears as if the alcohol taste shrinks inward, and bitterness is felt.
A day after opening, the alcohol and bitterness have decreased. Easier to drink. ❗️
It can be likened to a refreshing shochu. It is good even if you drink it on the rocks.
A new taste that I have never had before ✨
Kansai Sake-new year party ㉓
Following Hatsumigoyo, we drank Reimei
I never thought I would have a chance to drink Reimei again 😳.
After the Hatsumidai, the sake was very matured and had a very strong "The Sake" feel to it 💦.
I also had Sagami Daisen and Shichiken, but I can't take a picture of the labels and can't remember what they tasted like, so I'll skip those.
Good evening, bouken-san. That's an amazing amount of alcohol 😳23 so far, and it's amazing that you can keep track of that, but if you include the ones you forgot, you must have drunk a lot more! I can feel how much fun you had at the party 🤣.
Hi Hirupeco 😊
What is this drink even at the first meeting? I don't know even though I drank it. I think I forgot to take pictures 😅.
I'm sure you had a great time 🤣.
This is Reimei, famous for Okinawa's only sake, a demon's gateway if you are trying to conquer the 47 prefectures of Okinawa. They use air conditioning to make sake in the subtropical climate.
It tastes like classic sake with a strong graininess, but when drunk on the rocks, it is refreshing and tasty with a slight sweetness.
It has a strong flavor, so it might be better on the rocks or hot sake. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes.
★3.5
Classical but not that bad. Compared to traditional honjozo, it is an easy-drinking category. It ran out quickly when I drank it with food.
I would like to drink it again when I go to Okinawa, but I think I'm done with it as a souvenir.
When I visited Okinawa last month, I requested a tour of the Taiseki Sake Brewery, but was told that due to the aging of the factory, the tour is not available at this time. ...... Instead, I bought a bottle as a souvenir at a liquor store that I was told about.
The aroma was slightly fermented, perhaps because it is a tropical sake. The taste has a strong rice flavor due to the 70% rice polishing ratio, as well as a touch of astringency and bitterness. It goes well with dishes with strong flavors.
My son brought me a souvenir of "Reimei," the only sake made in Okinawa, the southernmost tip of Japan. It is a somewhat sweet sake, but also has a heavy, nostalgic flavor.
4.0
Finally, the only sake available in Okinawa. I got it through Furusato tax payment.
It has a strong acidity. However, it is not so bad when you drink it.
