15°, rice polishing ratio 55%, sake degree +3, acidity 1.5, Miyagi yeast, Awa Yamadanishiki.
Dry sake with light acidity🍶.
We drank 6 sake in a row from the Kurihara City and Kurikoma Mountain area, and while they were all refreshing, this one tasted a little different and had a stronger umami flavor.
I think that the R4BY sake is left to mature for about two years before being shipped, and that is why it has a mellower umami flavor.
I would like to try the Kawaguchi natto here at some point.
A bottle that you don't see too often!
It seems soft and put together in a nice way.
Delicious with a hint of sourness 😆.
The aroma is also gorgeous ✨.
Wataya Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 45 Polish
I received this bottle as a year-end gift, but could not open it for a long time, so I opened it with a friend 🍶.
The ginjo aroma of a daiginjo is subdued, but the flavor of Yamadanishiki is well balanced with sweetness and acidity.
I drank the whole bottle in one go 💦.

Miyagi Sake on a trip to Sendai
This was my first time to try Abe-kan, which I had never had at a restaurant in Tokyo 🍶.
It was crisp and went well with the Seri hot pot 🍲.
I bought it because, like Taketsuru, this brewery doesn't serve much draft sake 😁.
It has a zodiac sign label. I had an image of Wataya as a dry sake, but it has a solid sweetness and minerality.
It's delicious and has a good umami flavor 😋.
But when the temperature goes up, the spiciness seems to be emphasized.
When served cold, the aroma is that of rice, which is quite weak.
The taste is first acidity, then umami and bitterness, and finally astringency.
When tasted slowly, it has a rather strong taste, but when drunk quickly, it has a dry taste with a good sharpness.
When drunk hot, the sweetness comes first, followed by sourness and umami until the end.
You can choose to drink it hot if you want to drink it slowly, or cold if you want to drink it quickly.
As I said, I am busy, but fun is also important, so I have been on a ski trip with a friend and her family since the day after Valentine's Day. ⛷️
I grew up in a snow country, and in the winter all the neighborhoods around my house are covered with snow, so I am ashamed to say that I have never skied privately before.
Well, even though it was my first time, my legs and back trained in the snowy mountains could actually ski.
I am no longer able to double jump rope due to aging, but I was relieved to see that I could ski at least for a while. I didn't have to be embarrassed on my trip. ☺️
That's where winter cotton came in handy at night. I am the one who wants to drink the seasonal labels of cotton stores. The label is the familiar Mt. Kurikoma's Lake Hanayama. Beautiful ✨
Made with Omachi from Okayama Prefecture and the brewer's yeast Wataya yeast, it has a calm mouthfeel with yeast-derived acidity and sweet-sourness from the Omachi. It is also refreshing and delicious 😋.
This was a 500 check-in that allowed me to keep my love for Miyagi and my pride for growing up in the snowy mountains 😊💕.
Oh, and the third one was a handmade Valentine madeleine from my daughter 🩷.

Thank you, HinaHanaMama 🩷I tried to set a theme that I would get through the two days without rubbing it in, and I managed to accomplish it 👍The madeleines were so good, I couldn't believe they were made by a middle schooler 😋.
Thank you ma-ki-, thank you also 🩷I think you want to go with the number you have in mind 😊Thanks for the refreshment, but I have sore muscles at work from the next Monday 💦.

Also nice baked goods filled with love from your daughter 😊.
Thank you Aladdin 🩷I actually longed to be a Kiri at my local brewery 😆 I'm happy to see my ambition come true. I'm embarrassed to say that my skiing is just a maggot that's used to snow 💦.
Congratulations to Wakata for 500 check-ins ㊗️🎉!
You've decided to go with Miyagi sake 😁.
I have a crush on people who can ski 🤩Your husband looks like he's a snowboarder and very good at it too! The madeleines look like they're from a fancy restaurant too!
Thank you, Maru 🩷You are right, Yuki is a snowboarder. I'm also planning to debut snowboarding next 👍Madeleine was really impressive work even as my own child✨.
Hello, Wakata 😃!
Oooh! Congrats on 500 check-ins at Miyagi Ai🥰 ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉!
We ski ⛷️ are not so good 😅 I'd like to try a double jump 😆.
Your daughter's madeleines look like they are for sale!
Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😊 you two have inspired us, no, I say copycat 💦 local love with a Kilimanjaro 🩷.
My daughter would love it if you said it looks like it's for sale, thank you 😊.
Congratulations on your 500th check-in 🎉🎊, Waka!
Great local sake, the label is beautiful and festive ✨I had my first Wataya the other day and it's refreshing and delicious 😋.
Double jumped out a long time ago 🤣.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃Thank you 💕I see you've made your debut in cotton shop. I'm glad to hear that ☺️ cotton-ya is an excellent food wine, so please keep it up 😋I'm sure you can do the double jump, unlike me who is gaining a lot of weight 😆.
Thank you very much, Ryuppa-san 😊Tohoku has a lot of delicious sake, and on the other hand, it is endlessly difficult to carry out local love 💦Let's give it to Ryuppa-san on White Day and show him that we didn't receive a Valentine's Day gift 😁.
