٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶
GW's trip to Tochigi (2)
At Kanbei Sake Mamoru, we had a comparison of three types of local sake, the pride of Tochigi.
I don't have any information about the specs, but the aroma is mild and gentle on the palate☺️ with a beautiful rice🌾 sweetness😚 and the aftertaste is sour and clean, a delicious sake that goes well with meals🥳👍.
The second and third pictures are my first visit to Nikko Toshogu Shrine 😀 It was a weekday during GW, but there were many tourists 😳I was impressed by the precious architecture and the elegant and gorgeous colorful decorations🤔The gorgeous and gorgeous historic shrine pavilions were a quintessential world heritage 🥳✨✨✨.
Hello Maechen 😃.
It was your first time to visit Toshogu Shrine, wasn't it? We also passed by Nikko station 🚙 and saw a lot of tourists from overseas 😳I'm glad you enjoyed your visit 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌃😀
My first visit to Nikko was fresh😊It seemed like there were so many foreign tourists 😀I bought and ate Daifuku on my way home 😋.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛😀😀
My first visit to Nikko Toshogu was great😊It is a quintessential world heritage site😚There were so many tourists from overseas 🤔I was able to stay for about 2 hours and take my time to see the sights🫡.
I spotted the splash, so of course I asked for it.
This is also sweet and fruity!
It's an adult juice!
I guess it's for those who like it.
It would be great if it had a little more carbonation and spiciness.
Spring Nigorinpik 70
I chose this sake because I wanted to drink a sparkling nigori to have a light, sharp, and carbonated feeling😇.
I opened a bottle of Nozomu's Splash because it sounded like a splash, but unfortunately I didn't feel that sparkling 🤣.
I prepared a splash of nigori for revenge, but after reading everyone's post, I decided to open a bottle of this active nigori Nozomu before opening a bottle of nigori splash because I didn't feel the sparkling sensation as much as I did with the nigori 🤣.
It was a delicious sake with a nice tongue feel and a sense of frothiness, but unfortunately I didn't feel the same sense of frothiness as the active one🤣.
I had high expectations for this sake because of the perforated cap, but... it is a delicious sake if you don't want a strong schwash feeling, but I was a little disappointed 🤣.
I was a little disappointed 🤣 I agreed with myself that the concept of Nozomu was probably not intended to have a great sizzling sensation 😇.
Good evening, Yasbaye 🦉.
I see that you have a nigori other than splash 😳Active nigori is more and more delicious in the coming season 😊👍.
Too bad it wasn't enough for your taste 💦I think it might be just right for me...
Hi Yasube, 🌞I saw Nozomu here but I didn't go through with it and brought him to Hanamup because of the sake rice connection 😅I have a feeling that if it's a weaker schwarziness, it's right in the middle of my favorite 🤤.
Hi Yasbay 😃
GW and gold label Nozomu! It's good 🤗
We haven't had this one yet 🥲 but the mild splash 💦 shows Tochigi's reserved nature 😌.
I don't know 😆.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
The taste was great, but it didn't have the fizziness that you would expect from a cap with a hole in it, and you could feel it on your tongue 🤣.
If you don't want a strong fizzy feeling, it was a delicious sake 😇
Hi Nao888 😀
I see that Hanamup-san has finally released Akita Sake Komachi in 4-gou bottles 🤣.
I like Hanamup too, but I always have trouble finding a place to put it in a bottle 😅.
Nozomu-san is also delicious so please try it😇
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I often buy Kamerei and Nagano sake at the store where I often buy Tochigi sake and Nozomu is often recommended lately, so my ratio of Tochigi sake has been increasing lately 😀.
We still have a splash of nigori waiting for us 🤣.
I had had Splash before, but this is the first time I've had this.
I have had Splash before, but this is the first time for me. (The owner's son has a hobby of letting it sit for a year...)
The first sip is sweet and rich!
The taste is not too gassy, and the strong pungency and bitterness wash down your throat as if to erase the sweetness. What remains is a condensed fruity aroma. (^_^)
From your post, it seems that it is also cloudy.
I would love to try it!
Good morning, Yamamaru 😃!
Hitogokochi nozomu from Tochigi! It's delicious 😋.
I'm sure the liquor store that lets it sit for a year is very particular about it 😄! Nigori-gori is also ridiculously delicious 🤗.
Dora-chan's Cork Festival 🥳④
Also known as the "Little Drinking Party🎉"!
Here's what's next!
A splash of hope✨🥂✨!
Fruity aroma
When you take a sip
A mild sweetness
The sourness comes after a while...
And then a light, tangy and sour taste.
The bitterness finishes the taste.
The aroma is nice and lingers in the mouth 😘.
It is rather robust
From the name "splash
I was thinking of sparkling.
Dora was a bit disappointed with the sizzling taste.
I think it wasn't enough for her 😂.
Hi, Tsubu 😀
We actually got a splash of Sumishu at the end of the year 😀.
It's still delicious, but I felt it's not quite the same as the name "splash", but I'm still waiting for it 😅 I've heard that it's a bit of a rind, but I'm not sure.
Hi Yasbay😄!
I liked the light piri sizzle, but I guess it wasn't enough for Dora 😙 But you know, I'm sure the new one will be more healthy🫧🫧 since it's been laid down for quite a while 😉👍
Then here it is. This is Nozomu, which I had a chance to drink but never got around to it. This is the quietest nigori we have had this season. The taste and aroma are mild, but there is a strong fruitiness and sweetness in the aftertaste. This pattern may be rare...? Sake is really interesting because there are so many different types 👏.
Pale, clean sweetness.
The flavor is not assertive, but it is firm.
When you notice it, the acidity starts to show.
It flows very nicely.
You can feel a tangy carbonation on your tongue.
In my opinion, splash is an exaggeration.
2nd day
Sourness develops and fruity taste comes out.
But the splash is too much.
It is very tasty.
Purchased at a liquor store in Mashiko on a trip to Moka and Mashiko.
I tasted some of the Nozomu series,
The one brewed with "Hitogokochi" was very easy to drink with a sweet taste and moderate gasiness.
It was warm today, and I couldn't resist opening the bottle on the train on my way home, so the gassy feeling was completely gone by the time I got home.
Hi okd 😃
Welcome to Tochigi 🤗I guess you mean tasting at a liquor store in Mashiko 🤔Okada Sake Shop!
They let us sample a lot when we were there 😅It's delicious 😋.
Finally, the weekend is finally here, while we are busy with our daily business... and we've been waiting for it: ❗️
Every weekend we have a fun ❤️ sake opening day 🍶!
Today is the first time to drink Tochigi's "Nozomu" Splash 🫧!
When you open the bottle, the aroma is not that strong... but it smells like a tropical 🏝️ tropical pineapple 😍!
I took a top off, imagining it to be pretty schwaggy from the name Splash🌊... but 🤔.
It's sweet and tasty, but it's 16%, so I think it's a little alcoholic 💦.
Also, the freshness of the water is a bit too much like a clear stream rather than a splash ❓...? I have a feeling😅😅.
I'm going to stir it and drink the second glass 👍.
The flavor is really arp⤴️
As I've been advocating for a while now, stirring is the way to go for orikarami type sake ✨....
...but in general I don't think it's the name of the splash 😓.
Personally, the Ganki Sparkling I had the other day is more of a splash lol 🤣.
Let's see what kind of taste changes I can enjoy tomorrow... I'll keep my fingers crossed 😁.
Day 2: 🗒️
In the garden as the temperature was moderate 🍶.
I stirred it from the beginning and it tasted more alcoholic than the first day, but the flavor didn't change much 😓.
I definitely like the first day better...just need to lower the alcohol content 🤔.
Hello, Koiing gulls 😃.
Congrats on the splash💦 and congratulations to Hatsumo-san ㊗️ 🎉 we've never had it 🥲 but I have a feeling it's one of those bottles that has a pretty mixed reputation in the sake world🧐.
I guess I'll have to drink it to be sure.
