Ehime's sake is again a hit or miss.
Matsuyama Mitsui Sake is cheap, about 1,300 yen! But it was too salty for me. I thought it was cheap, around 1,300 yen, but it was just too salty for me.
But I try to let it go at times like this, thinking that it just didn't suit me, and that it is a strain of taste favored by people in Ehime.

The phrase "new rice, new sake" enticed me to buy it.

Hi ☀️
It's easy to drink, isn't it?
When I dropped by Tsuda Sake Shop a while ago
I think they still had it when I dropped by Tsuda Sake Shop a while ago. Sunny Mart's Matsuyama Kume store does not have it yet.

In February, you can drink sake at the bean-throwing ceremony~!
Sake drinkers shut up and eat edamame! LOL!
You will be accompanied by a bewitching hermit and a kitty! LOL.
This is Koshihikari, apparently.
It was 1,000 yen, but it's good!
Yogurt!
Creamy rather than silky.
Sweet, with a touch of bitterness to give it a kick!
There is no alsophagy.
It's good! Delicious! 👍
Good evening, Mr. BEAT 🌙
You know the old song, don't you 🤣.
Maybe it's because it's Koshihikari, but how nice to have something so tasty for 1000 yen! I've never seen it but I wonder if it's a sake you can only find in Ehime 🤔.
Pon-chan, I want to drink the Dogo Roman that you were drinking! I wonder if they sell it in Dogo 😆.
I wonder if they sell it in Dogo 😆 Sake is sold at special dealers or directly... it's so fun!
I'm about to give away my age! LOL!
Good evening, BEAT 🌙
It's a Koshihikari sake. ❣️ If it's like yogurt, I like it too. 😊♪ I'd like to try it sometime 😉.
Kitty's sake cup is so cute 😆💕
Well, now that we've done the bean throwing, I'm going to have something to drink too😋🍶
Tsubu, I've seen it 💕 Peachy Nigori nice 👍️
I'm looking forward to Gobashi's Peachy Nigori too because it's coming soon.
Yokey hermaphrodite... this is the best yogurt I've ever had!
100 Great Castles Series
In the morning of the second day, we visited Matsuyama Castle.
This was my second visit to Matsuyama Castle, and it looked magnificent after all the restoration and reconstruction work!
We drank this sake the night before!
It is thick, sweet, and tastes like rice.
It's a very beautiful amazake, and it's so smooth that I almost gulped it down 💦.
Dogo Onsen is under restoration.
It is open for business.
Nice hot water ♨
to be continued
Good evening, Pon-chan💫.
Did you go to Dogo Onsen♨️😊was it warming? I love Ichiroku tart, bochan dango and matcha green tea 💕It sounds like you had a nice trip including drinks👍✨.
Good evening, Umaichan!
I love onsen... ♨♨ and sweets too, in a greedy pattern... Oh my! I'm so glad we're on the same page 😳I only made it to one brewery this time, but I did manage to have some sake 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌙
Yes! It's a trip from Ehime to Kochi😊😊It's very far from Manachie's place😅but it's a nice place with good food, so please visit❣️.
Good evening, Ponchan😃.
Enjoying the castle hot spring ♨️sake🍶.
You are fully enjoying 😆I envy you... 😭I went to Matsuyama a few times for work, but I only went to Dogo Onsen and didn't go in 😅.
Thank you for this one too, Chichi 😊.
It does feel good to be in a keep! I'm thinking about where the enemies come from and how to protect them 🤣.
I'd love to try some of the regular sake from Shusen Eiko 😊.
Good evening, Luteltemi 🌙
Thank you 😊I can't stop eating good food 😆💕I'm a little disappointed that this is the only hot spring I'm going to visit this time 💦Why is extraordinary so much fun 😁.
Good evening 😃.
I've never landed in Ehime or even Shikoku 😅.
I've driven to Kishiwada in Osaka 😅.
I'm not familiar with Ehime, so I'd like to try it 😍.
Thanks again, mamiko 😊.
The building is very nice, so if you can go there, I recommend you to go after the renovation work is finished 👍It's too bad they were working on the front this time 💦I wish I could visit Tohoku where there are many great hot springs 😊💕.
Good morning, etorannzyu!
Shikoku is a long way from there 💦 but still Kishiwada! It's great 🤣 except for the connecting bridge this time, it was a very good deal since it was an unlimited ride from Shiga for a round trip fare (8,800 yen) 😁👍.
Good morning, chikumo!
So you are in Matsuyama! It's a nice town with a good environment where you can live without any inconvenience 😊It's a common thing when you live there 😁I didn't see many of them when I was in Kyoto 😢.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🐶.
I love Shikoku!
I've never been to Matsuyama Castle, but I'm planning to go there, though I'm not sure yet. I just found out about Ishizuchi recently.
I want to drink it so bad!!!! 😂.
Good evening, Kojo!
Drinking in a hot spring is a dream ✨The Kote Kote was white and thick like a hot spring 😆👍There was a ropeway, but I climbed it by myself 😁✌️.
Good evening, Pon! 😄
I see you were visiting my hometown Ehime! 😆👍I miss the Bocchan dumplings at Dogo Onsen 😊In the distant past, you could take a hot spring bath for 200 yen and it included dumplings 🤣.
Good evening, Wan Wan🐶🌙
You like Shikoku? You should definitely go to the hot springs and walk around the city! There were a lot of cute characters❣️I recommend sake & taimeshi 😄👍
MAJ, good evening 🌙
So you are hometown 😳‼️You spent some time in a nice town 😊I remember riding a cute tram with a little boy 🤔I was sorry to see that it only runs regular or tram now 😢.
Pon, here too 😄🌙
I went to Matsuyama Castle about 10 years ago on a high school excursion❣️and passed by Dogo Onsen and stayed at Oku-Dogo Onsen♨️😄I miss it so much❣︎😆I want to go back now that I can enjoy drinking 😊 ♫
Thanks again for this one, Tsubu ☀️.
High school trip! 😳️I'm so glad you went so far ‼️Okudogo Onsen was very popular too ♨♨Drinking, cooking, sightseeing...I'd love to go on an adult school trip with you❣️.
The dryness follows the sweetness 🍶✨I want to taste a little more of the sweetness, and this is an enchanting drink that makes me want to drink more 🥰.
