Here we go again this year!
Toast Festa 2025 with Tochigi's Local Sake
We just met up with Higu & Nanoha at ❣️
We had a toast ✨🥂✨!
My first choice was
A touch of figure 😊.
Fruity aroma â
When you take a sip
sweet, tasty, acidic and fruity
Mellow and very tasty 😋💕.
But it's hot 〰︎🥵!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby, good morning ☀️ Sake Fest, it was hot outside in the stones 〰︎🥵J&N, sorry you couldn't make it to the Fest... 🤭So glad to have met you soon ♡ ugh 😆
Gorgeous and mellow impression. Fruity aroma like apple and grapefruit. The acidity is a little more assertive than usual for the figure, and the sweet and sour accent is pleasant. The gorgeousness typical of the figure is, of course, still there.
Sake rice is Hokkaido's Kitashizuku, milling ratio is 55%, and the yeast is undisclosed.
Served well chilled ✨
It's been a long time since I've purchased a bottle for drinking at home.
The aroma doesn't stand out that much right after opening the bottle, but once you take a sip, you get a crisp sourness and bitterness, which is quickly followed by sweetness and rich rice flavor 😆 The bitterness lingers until the end and leaves a slight tangy feeling on the tongue, which is just right!
The appearance of the sake itself is delicious, so you can savor it and still be able to drink it smoothly👍.
Since we were drinking at home, we kept the snacks to a minimum. I paired it with cucumber miso 🤤.
It has been so hot lately that I thought I could enjoy a refreshing drink.
This is the first sparkling wine I have ever had.
It has a sweet aroma, but when you put it in your mouth, it is surprisingly not sweet. It is not too strong, but the alcohol taste is strong. It is not too strong, but the alcohol taste is strong.
The temperature in the refrigerator is not enough, so I thought I would serve it in the freezer.
The appearance is delicious and I like it 🤤.
Iinuma Meizo's appearance of Suginamiki, which we drank in Nasu.
This time it was a sake made with Yumesasara.
It is fruity and has a soft aroma when you drink it, but it ends up being refreshing and delicious.
It is delicious no matter what you have at Sagata.
Yes, it is my favorite sake.
There is a gibier restaurant called Onoda in Shimofusa-Nakayama, Chiba Prefecture, and I first had a sake called "Kemonogata" as a collaboration product.
It was so delicious that I became a fan ^_^.
On a business trip to Utsunomiya, I had dinner at my usual restaurant, Aona.
The goldfish label is beautifully displayed on a yukata (Japanese summer kimono). The ayu fish was grilled with salt.
Hi TAKAHIRO 😃
It's been a while since you posted! I'm on a business trip to Utsunomiya and had a stable dinner at a restaurant ‼️ ayu fish and figure 😍a definite combination 😋.
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. I've been a little bit sick, so I've been holding back lately👍Ayu fish from the Kinugawa River and Tochigi sake are great ❗Please do take care of me 🙇⤵.
Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
I heard that this sake is brewed with Yamada Nishiki made by the students of Tochigi Agricultural High School. (And yet high school students can't drink it...⁇ Too sad 🥲)
Very fruity and sweet aroma🥭.
Gutsy and sweet 🥭! Sake level -2.
The sweetness was clearly perceived, and the bitterness was easier to detect than the acidity, and it followed later, giving it a smooth, easy-to-drink, delicious taste.
back view
Aroma with a sense of weight, sweetness and mildness
Fruity and gorgeous at the same time
While the alcohol is strong, the complex aroma and flavor changes are enjoyable.
