Today is Expo closing eve.
The tickets were lying around, so we decided to go one last time! We decided to go to the Expo one last time.
We were able to get a reservation just before the event closed, and we went 👍.
The crowds were so overwhelming compared to when we went in May that we couldn't move forward 💦 but we managed to get through the waves of people to get to the real Hakurakusei Expo label, which I was able to take a picture of 😊✨.
The fireworks display in the evening was also a highlight ✨.
After returning home from the Expo, we had a drink at Sake Mirai by Kafuda Sake, a future connection, just like the Expo.
I'm not sure why Hakurakusei's Expo sake didn't show up here 😅.
As the name "Shiboritate" implies, it has a fresh and refreshing taste with a lot of gas, which is unique to shippusake 😋.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the grape-like sweetness is impressive. The deliciousness comes at you with a gusto, directly hitting your brain. ❤️
It's sinking into my tired body after walking 30,000 steps 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 😃.
I saw on the news that there were a lot of people on the last day of the Expo 😳I heard that Myakmyak's popularity in Kansai exceeded Otani's 🤗.
I like the future connection, it's nice to have a dream 😃.
Hi Waka 🐦.
You've walked & seen a lot 😳‼️ 30,000 steps 😊👍It's not easy to drink such Expo labels because they're too good 💦 let's admire them for a while ✨.
I'm so jealous you didn't end up going 👍✨
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃I didn't go to the Expo. It was fun just to experience that worldwide feeling 💕I don't know when I'll be able to experience it again, so I slipped in with the spirit of going when I can👍.
I bought it because of the words "sake future."
Thinking about it, I had bought the same one in May💧.
I forgot that I bought it because I don't post on-time, and I'm sorry.
It's good because it's delicious, but it's expensive and I thought I could have bought a lot of other things.

The season has finally come full circle, but we will continue to move forward at our own pace 📝.
Second bottle of Kamo Nishiki drinking comparison, Beni Kikyo🪻.
I've had it outside, but this is the first time to drink it carefully at home.
Super slightly carbonated, with a grape-like aroma and sourness that flows smoothly🍇.
While many Kamo Nishiki labels are similar, the flower stamp makes it easy to recognize and cute at a glance.

Jay & Nobby Good evening ⭐︎
I am always encouraged by your support ✊.
I've been taking notes, so I feel like I should write faster, but if I slack off, it's like I'm cheating 💧.

🎶aaiyama🩷.
🎶itu no
🎶genein
🎶why not😩.
No punchline.
I've been a little ambushed and am back drinking at home. Well, it's only been a week💦.
Let's drink what we know we love to taste. Banshu Aizan🩷 is very sweet, easy to drink, and has 13% alcohol content (?). You can drink it like juice. Happiness. Even though it's shaved, it's still 50%, so the flavor of the rice is still there. It's really delicious 😋.
Mr. Sakaguchi, Nobel Prize winner in physiology and medicine, it's nice to be a researcher as a couple. I was bothered every time I heard in the past "thanks to my wife keeping the house". Oh, and the physics prize is interesting, too!
Good morning ☺️ finally opened the bottle ❣️
I'm so glad you're back 😥.
It's delicious 🎶ahhhh no, I'll just say it's a 🍶 special treat...
It's really delicious 🥹.
Good morning, Ane-san!
Have you been down with stomach pains 💦?
It must be hard work and stress. ⤵️
I'm glad you are back to drinking sake again🍀!
Aizan is definitely delicious 🤤.
Hi Ane 😃
Stomach pain, seems to be no longer a big deal, but please take care of yourself 😌.
I too think the cause is the accumulation of stress and fatigue from hard work.
If you can't reduce your work, let's drink and complain to release stress 😌.
Good evening, Ane 😃.
We don't have corona or flu but we both have a cold 😷 and we're groggy for three consecutive holidays 🥲How wonderful it is that both spouses are researchers and respect each other 🥹.
Good morning, Mr. Muro🎶.
Yes, the bottle is open. I wanted to drink it - I was timing it. I am satisfied 😋.
Thank you. I slept in over the weekend and worked during the week while taking my meds💦.
Good morning, ma-ki 😃.
Stress is definitely there, but it's not as bad as hard work. I think my negative thinking is making my condition worse 😢.
Yes, Aizan, the packaged sake, was great 🩷.
Good morning, Aladdin 😁.
I'm so tired and sleepy that I'm having a blast on the train home, but when I get under the covers, I can't sleep 😞.
It's true that talking helps to cheer you up! I haven't done that...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😄.
Wow, it's a tough time for you. I hear a lot of people are sick now so please take care of yourself. Thinking about what kind of alcohol I will drink when I get back 😁.
Kamo Nishiki Lipi! Delicious sake from Niigata!
The ultimate form of sake that makes you drink more and more... I'm careful not to open a 4-unit bottle in one day... but it was opened in plenty of time 🤣 even though it's 15 degrees!
Koshitanrei is a cross between Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, a rice used for Daiginjo, and seems to be a good match for Kamo Nishiki, which is based on Junmai Daiginjo.
When poured, it has a clear light body!
A mellow aroma of rum!
The taste is light, but the sweet and sour carbonation makes it delicious and easy to drink!
When you want to drink it quickly and easily, it tastes 100 points!
This is one of the flagships of the Kafuda-shu series, made with 50% Yamada-Nishiki from Yoshikawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, where the finest Yamada-Nishiki is grown, and from the "Tokushu A district," one of the best in the region. This sake had a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and the lingering taste was something to enjoy with its luxurious and rich flavor.
I was curious about Tsukihaku, and I found it at a liquor store in Kogota, so I got it!
The aroma is subdued and the taste is....
I see what you mean by "light" and "clear". It's light, clear, and just beautiful✨ and it doesn't linger.
It is dry but not hard to drink at all. It is different from Hakurakusei and Ichinokura, and I have never tasted anything like it.
Perfect with the tempura and scallop sashimi we prepared 😭.
I was thinking that this would be the best for eating orizume.
I thought it went in smoothly, but it had an alcohol content of 14.
Whoever thought of this is amazing 😊.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Rice used: 80% Akita sake-komachi
Alcohol content: 13
It was delicious with a good balance of refreshing sweetness and acidity.
Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Koshi-tanrei Junmai Daiginjo
Refreshing aroma like ramune.
The taste is also sweet like ramune, with a slight gassy sensation.
The sweetness disappears after the finish, and it is easy to drink.
Delicious.
