Hatsuzomi: Origami (Origami): ❣️
The umami and sweetness of rice can be felt well.
The lingering aftertaste of moderate acidity is pleasant and good 😊.
Good balance that you can drink it smoothly even though it has 17% alcohol content 👍
It's a good balance of alcohol 17% but it's easy to drink 👍
We each had two cups of Kouei Kiku and asked the manager for the next one.
Here we go, another Nigolympics!
Sigeki and Yamori
Let's start with the sashimi!
I got it for the fifth year in a row!
A little bit of yellowtail!
But sweet and delicious!
Since we skipped the first course, the quantity was moderate!
Usually, I order Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd, but this time, I had stir-fried white liver with leek.
Let's get energetic!

Purchased because of the name, this is my companion for tonight. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is subdued. The smell of alcohol is strong on the nose, but there is also a hint of sweetness. In the mouth, it has a strong flavor as a pure sake. The sweetness is followed by a hint of melon, and finally a strong bitterness
A strong bitterness lingers in the mouth. The katsuo dashi ponzu vinegar with soaked kintoki grass rounds out the bitterness of the sake and is delicious! It also goes quite well with the garland chrysanthemum/persimmon/blue cheese/cured ham/balsamic dressing! The Chicken Chicken Sasami Shrimp Chili Style is also available, with the sweetness of the dish turning the sake into a neat and dry one.
The bitterness seemed bitter at first, but it was an enjoyable sake that went well with the dish!
The last of the sake offerings... local Tochigi sake
My son's favorite "Sagata
And my favorite "Yamatanosugata" 🍶.
Sake brewed with 8 kinds of sake rice!
The soft mouthfeel and concentrated
The umami is concentrated from the soft mouthfeel...
You can feel various flavors one after another.
And yet, it is well balanced.
It's quite rich!
In celebration of her 70th birthday, Dora-chan
Dora gave it to us with her own money.
My son took all the leftover sake home with him 😄.
Oh, and he drank all the Katsuma 😚.
I haven't had a drink since that day...
It's been two weeks since my mother passed away... (it's so early)
I'm still full of tears...
I think I will drink tonight... 😌.
Good evening, kan😄.
Thank you for your concern 🙏.
Yes, "Why are you crying so much?" I can almost hear my mother's voice 💦.
I drank tonight for the first time in a long time 😚.
While crying 🤣
Thanks, Muro: ☺️
I did drink tonight 🍶.
I'm still in tears, but I'm ready to drink 😉.
We're having a lot of that thing... and Mr. Muro is drinking his favorite thing: ❣️
Thank you, chika, and thank you here: ☺️
Yes, I know! I can see it in your heart... and in your face too 🤣 that makes me cry too 😅.
I'm ready to drink even though I'm crying, so...
Please keep up the good work!
Tsubu-chan, I know it's late, but I'd like to offer a toast.
I know it's still hard and painful, but please cry a lot. You can cry while eating and drinking, I'll be back soon 🥹.
Most importantly, I'm glad you're drinking 😌.
Thanks, Pon-chan 🙏.
I don't know, I still don't feel it yet...
I'm still not feeling it yet... and when I suddenly think that he's gone... it makes me cry 😭I think I'm going to cry for a while longer😢.
I'll take it slowly 😌🍶.
First appearance of the year: ‼️
It has a fruity feel that is not like Gohyakumangoku 🍈.
The lingering taste is slightly bitter for a long time 🍈.
I don't remember last year's finish at all... 😅
Super Limited Edition Sugata
Perhaps because it is a blend of seven different sake rice varieties
Super rich!
It also has a sweetness that makes it delicious on the rocks!
This time, I drank it with a hot pot of sesame paste with sweetened sauce.
4.4/5.0
As usual, the sweet aroma and mouthfeel are typical of the figure, and the taste is rich. From here, it has a slightly bitter and mature taste.
The snack was dumplings, but I would recommend something nutty.
Early Year's Eve Party 🍾 Part 2 🍾.
It says Hokkaido, but isn't the brewery in Tochigi?
The sake rice is from Hokkaido though...
It was sweet and robust and better than I expected ✨.
I found a rare sight 💡.
But this aroma is a bit?
The first impression I had, and even afterwards as I drank more and more, it didn't change
I wonder what it is?
The taste is good, but
It's strange.
I wonder if this is how Aikoku is like.
Let's compare it again when we drink other Aikoku!
