It's been a while since I've had sake with my parents.
The first bottle is a Junmai Daiginjo from Shusen Eiko.

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 🥰.
It is a gift.
The aroma gives off the smell of a dry sake. The taste was quite prepared for it because it is super dry, but it is easy to drink, with a touch of koji and umami, and a crisp finish, just like a super dry sake. It has a strong koji taste, so people who don't like koji may not like it. I think it goes well with sashimi, but I think it also goes well with strong flavored food. People who like Kaijin may like it. It is a taste for the experts.
After a moderate ginjo aroma, the aroma of rice tickles the nose. It is a sake that makes the most of its rice ingredients. The rice aroma is noticeable when you compare the two, so this is a bottle that you should pay attention to the last note after drinking.

The first sakes are very old and the first sakes are very old, like a New Year's sake.
It just stirs in your mouth in a rage and then quickly goes away.
If you drink it while the sake is still in your mouth, it becomes very sharp.
Interesting sake!

Since it is before the medical checkup, I enjoy sake and snacks in moderation.
I enjoy drinking in moderate quantities.
My favorite sake, SAKASEN EIKO, is now available in many sizes.
Thankfully, there are a lot of drinkable sizes on the market these days.

I enjoyed it with fried and soaked eggplant and nigirizushi
and nigiri sushi.
Ehime Jizake drinking comparison trio is a sake brewery in Mizobe-cho, Matsuyama City. Sake from Chuyo. Most of the gold medal-winning sake is daiginjo, isn't it? Aside from whether it is true that junmai sake is less likely to win the award, the last sake of the two-day event was a sake that won the 2022 National New Sake Competition Gold Medal. To avoid raising expectations too high before drinking it, I drank it after calming down. The taste is still beautiful, well-balanced, and gentle. The fruity flavor is just right, just like a sake from the sake competition. The sake level is -1.
