The "Age Oke" is a tank that receives the sake that flows from the "Yabuta", the machine used to press the sake.
It is a raw sake made by directly bottling only the mellow and fresh sake from the top clear part of the new sake that has accumulated in the raised vat.
The aroma after opening the bottle is quite mellow 😚 In the mouth, you can taste the deep flavor of Delaware with a lot of gas and a touch of petitiveness 🍇 It has a sweet flavor at first, but then you can smell and taste as if it was brewed in a cedar barrel.
The aftertaste is spicy and you can feel the freshness of unfiltered unpasteurized sake and the delicious richness of the rice.
The owner of the sake shop advised me to try it heated! It has a sweeter and more gorgeous flavor, but the high alcohol content may also give it a bit of a zing 😁.
It was a good encounter 😘.
Delicious!

I couldn't have a horse show because I was busy both days, but I won a big one in the race I was aiming for and I'm happy 💴.
Hi Kozo 🐦.
I'm glad to hear that both cold and warmed sake is so good 😊I've always wanted to drink it because of your high praise 💦 and now I want to drink it even more 😁.
You are always right! Looking forward to your shopping 😉.
Pon.
Good evening 🤩.
I was surprised at the high quality of Hanaizumi's sake 🤩I'm glad to have found such a sake 👍Some of the tickets are off, but I've managed to win some 💪.

Good morning......it was my first time to try Hanaizumi and it is a very nice sake😍I enjoy the different tastes that I imagine, clean from the smell, and taste in my mouth🤣I can't stop because of these encounters....
My son bought this sake for me as a sake lover in Fukushima. It is a little sweet and clear as only junmai sake can be. I will have it with pork shabu nabe. It was delicious 😋.

with Namul (small green onion). 😂
Freshness and fire-roasted calmness on the palate. The contents are similar to daiginjo, so the sweetness is elegant and beautiful. Medium-bodied, with a light and cohesive body despite being tapped with ori, the sweetness is light and soft with a ginjo feel, the acidity is juicy and elegant with a gentle citrus bitterness that does not become too heavy even when the ori is involved. The spiciness is not noticeable but moderate and tightens the flavor. 😍
Hanapin, good morning 🐥.
I'm glad you are able to drink again 😊...please don't overdo it 🙏.
I want to eat horse sashimi, but I haven't seen tonpeiyaki in a while 😆 I want to eat sauce flavored dishes 🙏 ❣️
Hi Pon. 😊
I've been working long hours and no rest, and finally today
I finally took a day off. I really want to make 😫Tonpeiyaki.
I really want to roll it in egg, but I can't, so I just put it on top.
I really want to roll it in an egg but I can't, so I just put it on. (I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it 😁.
A reminder of the alcoholic beverages I drank last year
Hanaizumi Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake
A very enjoyable cup with sweet and tasty rice flavor!
It had a nice sharpness and was very easy to drink!
Even just nigori sake is totally different 🙄🍶🍶.
I'm new to sake and have no taste buds,
It's hard for me to describe it well 😰.
But it's still calpis and it's not heavy with pear aroma and shuwa shuwa 🎵.
It's thick with lots of ooze ❢ (not mushy)
Rich and delicious 🥰.
Good work today 🥂💕
NABE. Good evening!
I feel the local love (hometown) 😊.
It's delicious🙌 Thanks for the treat✨
In Minamiaizu, what kind of local products would you pair with it? If you have any recommendations, please let me know 🙏.
Well, it is difficult to find produce from Minamiaizu because it is not widely distributed throughout Japan, but how about asparagus? I don't know if it goes well with sake, but Nango tomatoes are also delicious.
Good evening, Mr. Minosuke 😃.
This is delicious 😋we can only say it's delicious no matter how much we drink 😅but it's best to drink it happily and deliciously 🤗.
Jay & Nobby. Good evening 😊!
It was delicious ✨🙌
Jay & Nobby, you are always so quirky with your reviews of the drinks and your daily events so casually written 🤩!
I can feel how close your family is 🎵.
.
I've actually never had anything other than nigori before 😅.
I couldn't help but choose the RoMan one 🙏.
I had the basic Honjozo (dry), and while I can't pinpoint any outstanding characteristics, it is very cohesive and easy to drink.
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
Hanaizumi's Nigori: ❣️
They didn't sell the active, so I had no choice but to fire it up.
So it's a brewery in Roaman 😅.
I didn't realize that until I bought it💦.
That's the only nigori in Fukushima, so I was uninformed 🤣.
Well, well, well,
Creamy pear 🍐 aroma 😆.
Round and gentle flavor ❣️
Mmmm!
It's delicious 🎶.
From sweet and tasty, the moderate acidity and a hint of bitterness pulls the whole thing together and gives it a good balance. ✌️💕
It's a nigori from the brewery where Hiroto's Touji Matsuzaki trained, so the flavors are very similar 😁.
With this active nigori, I can imagine that it's exactly like it 🦍🦍🦍🦍.
I'd like to try the nigori!
I'd love to try the active one too, Manachie ❣️Kotaro ❣️
Good evening, T.KISO. 😊
I have a quart bottle of this sake in my fridge. 😍
I have the impression that the one-shogi bottle has a lot more ori than the four-shogi bottle.
I have the impression that the Ippon bottle is full of ori. I missed out on buying the active one 😂.
I missed buying the active one. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not 😫.
Good evening, T.KISO 🌙
I haven't had this one yet, so your review makes me want to try it 😆.
As Tsubu-chan said, it's great that you notice the similarity in taste with Hirotogawa ✨I'll try to taste it when I drink Hirotogawa👍.
Nice to meet you sake🍶.
This sake has a mild, thick texture and a refreshing, slightly carbonated taste.

Delicious 😆.
I can honestly feel the delicious taste of rice 😆.
I can feel a little sourness
but it goes down smoothly and mildly.
As a mid-meal drink
It's a little bit good" 😎😎😎😎😎.
It has a nice, sweet aroma like ripe melon.
The taste is not so sour, but rather moist and sweet.
It is a sweet and delicious sake full of the flavor of glutinous rice.
It went well with tempura with various ingredients.

Yesterday, we had our first Hirotogawa nigori sake, so today we will compare them with Hanazumi sake which was recommended by Manachie😇!
As you can see in the picture, we had Ona-san, Jikin-san, Hirotogawa-san, and Hanaizumi Nigori Sake 😇!
This was the most fun drinking comparison 😀.
Each sake had a slightly different nuance, but each had a fruity sweetness that was not clingy, so it was really hard to choose one over the other 😇.
I haven't had Sengoku's Yukidharma yet this season, but I would definitely rank Yukidharma, Ona, Hanaizumi, Jikin, and Hirotogawa as the top five nigorizake in my opinion 😀.
From tomorrow, I'd like to take a break from nigori sake and move on to light nigori 😀.
I'm going to take a break from Sentori Yuki Dharma and do the Dharma comparison again 🤣.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃!
Oh! Mr. Hanaizumi 🤗 is seriously delicious 😋.
And ‼️ we are happy to see Ona-san firmly named among the five great nigoris 🥹.
Everyone 😋! Please give Ona nigori a try 👋
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I'm afraid that if the deliciousness of Ona Nigori-san spreads too widely, it will become a hard-to-find sake just like Hirotogawa-san and Jikin-san 🤣.
But after all, good sake is good sake😇
Loman is famous, but this is an active nigori of the Hanazono brand. It is said that only rice grown in Aizu is used. If you look closely, the label is very assertive.
The aroma is fresh and sweet, like a Ramune. It is a light, yogurt-flavored Ramune, or perhaps I should say it is a light, yogurt-flavored Ramune, with a deliciously tangy, sweet and sour taste. It is also very tasty, and yet it can be enjoyed with dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) without any sense of discomfort.
If you include nigori, you can enjoy the lingering taste of full-bodied sweetness. It is the magic of rice.
