Next is Asakayo's new sake. There was so much damage that the Kanji character for this year is bear. We need to have them stay in their holes as per the bear's estate.
The first new sake I got this year is Sekireinaku-san from Hirai-san in Shiga, Kochira 😀.
It's written in kanji on the label, but it was a bit difficult to convert 😅.
I actually visited the sake brewery in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture this spring, but was unable to visit because it was just closed 🤣.
The aroma was so gorgeous that it was more like Jungin than Tokujun, and the taste was full of fruitiness😇.
I really want to visit the brewery next time 😇
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Hirai Shoten, the fastest release of new sake in the industry at the beginning of the brewing year? The new sake release is the fastest in the industry at the beginning of the sake brewing year 😁.
If you visit Hirai Shoten again, be sure to visit the standing drinking calender near JR Otsu station 🍶😊.
Good morning, Aladdin 😀
I'm surprised that I get in line when the hiyayagoshi is on line and by the time the new sake is on line, it's gone 🤣.
Aladdin-san's information made me talk with Kaorin about going to Mr. Calendar 😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
You got it right 👍✨It's really early 💦I end up not buying it every year because it's finally time for hiyaoroshi 😂We're looking forward to seeing you in Otsu 🙇.
Although it is labeled as a sake for drinking at home, as the label says "mellow", it has a deep flavor and is quite tasty. As it is getting colder, I would like to match it with hot pots👍.

The husband was in charge of the Hi-irei and the wife was in charge of the Nama-shu.
Asakayousei Junmai Sake, Sake brewing for 3003000 years label
I asked for a standard sake, and this was the hi-ire junmai sake. It has a lively acidity that is typical of junmai sake.
◉Hokufunji Junmai Ginjo
This sake has a strong acidity and a sake-like quality. It also has an astringent taste, which I don't like.
Asakayousei Junmai Daiginjo
A retro label with an austere taste. It is elegant and clear, but lacks one more characteristic.
◉Mizukagami Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu
Fresh and clear, but with acidity and a slight aftertaste of off-flavors.
Asakayousei Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-Nishiki
Mineral, mild and loose on the palate with a full-bodied body. Forgot to take a picture...
Asakayousei Junmai Activated Nigori Kenmei
I gave it to someone else to sample first, and he was able to drink the first sip. It took 3-4 minutes to open and close the bottle. It had a nice rice flavor and a dry bitter aftertaste.
I forgot to take a picture of this one too...
As soon as I saw the "New Sake is ready" sign at the liquor store last week, I picked up a bottle of Asakayousei, which has the taste of new sake 🥰So delicious ❕I'm having a blissful moment with a bowl of medium fatty tuna from the east of Hokkaido, 🦑 squid sashimi and squid roasted in a lump. ☺️
Hi, Takku0103 😃I've never seen this brand before.
I've never seen this brand before ❗Tuna is fried in Kushiro recently and you can get fresh one 😋The seafood in the picture makes me drool 🤤.
Good evening Ponchan 😃Asakayousei Ponchan's knee 😁I think Asakayousei is available only in a few places in Hokkaido, it's relatively reasonable and tasty sake 😋.
Osakasake Square 2025⑥.
I am in a good mood.
I don't know any sake. I am wondering what to try next. It's fun to spend time wondering.
While I was wandering around, a frog caught my eye!
When I was little, I loved Donegai Toad T-shirts.
I seriously wondered why my own Peonkichi would not talk to me.
It was one full of reminiscing about my childhood (laughs).
