I went fishing for mahi mahi with my son
Kakiage (deep fried oysters) as a side dish
Opening my first bottle of Yuki no Bijin
The smell was..,
? Fruity? Fruity?
I'm not sure.
Taste.
Just the right amount of sourness
Moderate bitterness
The aftertaste is also nicely sharp.
Since there are only sweet sake
While the balance feels good
I don't think there is a sharp impression
I don't have a sharp impression that will stay in my memory.
But what kind of concept did the master brewer
I'd like to know what kind of concept he was aiming for.
I'd like to know what his motive was.
I'll look into it when I sober up.
Commentary.
What is the complete fermentation of Yuki no Bijin?
It is not simply a desire for spiciness (drier),
It is a bottle in which the moromi (the stage before pressing to make sake) is fermented to the very limit while maintaining the fresh rice flavor and firm acidity that is characteristic of Yukinobijin.
It is delicious.
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
Next is Yukinobijin's summer sake: ❣️
It's summer and it's Shiboritate 😋.
Summer Shiboritate made possible by Akita Brewing, a Four Seasons Brewing Company💕.
Taste the menu lol
Salt hormone stew ❣️
Delicious 😋!
Yakitori with wasabi: ❣️
Spicy 😅
But addictive 😋!
To be continued...
Good evening, T.KISO 😃.
Happy milestone birthday to your wife 🎂🎉Yukimi here is also ready! It's just like on the menu 🤗Is this green wasabi 😳It looks spicy but I like spicy 😆I'd like to try it 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
We have it all here too 🎶!
This is the famous wasabi-filled yakitori at this affiliate restaurant ❣️ My and my daughter's favorite σ(♡∞♡)💕.
Perfect for J & N who love spicy food ✨🤣.
I don't know where to start, but a lot happened on Saturday 🤗.
First of all, we took the bus and walked to Bunraku to go to the tasting we were looking forward to! On the way, we checked the sake tasting, and found a reply from Hiro, a Masamune hunter, saying that he was going to the sake event in Oyama.
We arrived at Yodogawa Sake Shop at the same time! After about three rounds of tasting, I heard a young couple behind me asking me if I was going to buy one. I turned around and saw Mr. Ars from the Kenmin Kai 😳 We cheered and chatted for a while after meeting each other for the first time in a while😄.
We ended up buying two bottles so I'll tell you more about it then 👋.
We got in touch with Hiro-san and decided to meet up in Utsunomiya on short notice ‼️ but Ars-san was in too much of a hurry 😅 and couldn't make his schedule 😩.
He was waiting for us at a corner bar east of the station and we were a little late to meet 🤗Nice Masamune towel, easy to understand 😆.
Then we took him to Kurata-san, the sacred place of the Kenmin-kai 🤗We said hi to the teacher and toasted with Yukimi-san's summer sake 🥂 which was delicious 😋.
Now, let the fun party begin! Let the fun party begin!
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
Coincidences are fun 😆 Exactly, a circle of sake? That's right 🤣 but then again, you have such an obvious landmark, only Hiro can do that 🥳.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
Tasting events are indeed a great opportunity to meet other sake drinkers 🥰.
But Hiro-san is very well prepared to bring [nice Masamune towel] 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I think the members of Sake-no-Wa, who are the action people, have a lot of drinking connections in various places 😇.
I'm sure the Yuki no Bijin-san was delicious 😇
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃Wow, what a beautiful coincidence ✨It's always fun to bump into a Sake no Wa member by accident 😊After that, the party is sure to be a good time, isn't it? I love it 😍.
Jay & Nobby, thank you for your time.
I didn't expect to meet you...lol...strange feeling if the timing was a little off...(^o^) I wanted to have an adventure with you, but too bad 😭
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
What a wonderful coincidence of a fun day 🎵!
And I'm sure it was too good a time to drink the Yuki no Bijin at the sacred place of the prefects' meeting without a doubt 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
How was the tasting? I hope it was good for your palate 😅But I was very impressed with the sakewa connection 🤩I'm so glad we can connect over sake 🥹I want to drink with all the sakewa people in Japan when I get there: ❣️
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃.
We were on a short notice so sorry about Ars, but it was a pleasure meeting you both 😊I only had 2 photos of the drinks left in my album 😅 apparently I was too busy talking 🤣.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
It was a really fun accidental "sake no wa" 🥹we would have worn our J&N t-shirts if we had known in advance 😅Nice to have a Masamune towel to carry around 👍. ‼️
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
It seems like you meet a lot of people in the Kansai area 😊 We were both prefectural members at the tasting event, but I never thought I would be drinking with Hiro on the same day 😳.
Really! Timing is everything 😄.
Good evening ichiro18 😃.
I'm not usually that dynamic 😅
I'm not usually that dynamic 😅 "If you're still here, will you meet me?" I don't often drink out of the house, but I'm going to have one more 👍.
Good evening, Yasube 😃.
Hiro you are really a man of action ‼️ we are not like that 😅we have no hesitation in meeting 🤗I wanted to try Yukimi's summer sake 😋Jay's choice made me toast 😋...
Good evening, Wakata 😃.
Really! It was a nice coincidence 🤗I was glad you came to Utsunomiya 🥹.
The good thing about being a friend of Sake no Wa is that we can have fun even when we meet for the first time 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Ars 😃.
No really! We were talking about how we wouldn't have met if we weren't on that bus 😊.
As you said Ars, sake attracts people 😌.
Let's go on another adventure 👋
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Really! It was a wonderful day thanks to a wonderful coincidence 🤗.
The sanctuary of the Prefectural Association looks like 😳 on the outside 😅 but inside it's a space of calm 😊.
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
The tasting was fun and delicious 🤗I'm going to raise one for the next term 🤗.
Real sake sum drinking parties are always really fun 😄 unexpected is also good!
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
I'm really glad that I've been doing this 🥹 and I'm glad that I've been able to connect with people through "Sake no Wa" 🥹 and I had a lot of fun drinking 😙 with Yukimi starting out.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😃
We had a great time too 😊I can't take pictures when I start talking 😆 Real offline meeting 😅.
There are some things I didn't get to write about, so I will put another one up👍.
Good evening, Mr. Sashiu 😃.
We are really surprised too! We are so happy that you and Sashiu-san have been able to connect from one meeting to the next 🥹!
Yukimi was also very good 😙.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
Raw nice Masamune hunter👍😳
Sake karma is a wonderful thing😊.
And J&N-san is still the quintessential person to connect with that connection 🍶👍.
Good evening, Matchy 😃.
I never thought that my circle of sake lovers would expand so much 😅 but everyone I meet is so nice 😊I still want to expand it!
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
You two had a whole day full of wonderful events together! It's great to connect with you at Sakewa ✨.
You can never go wrong with this towel 🤣.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Yes, I'm glad you had a great day 🥹! It was a shame that the Dodgers lost in the morning 😅 but after that it was a really good day 🥹.
It's really nice to be able to connect with so many people 🤗.
It's almost time for the last few minutes ⏳.
I decided to do this last one.
Yuki's beauty
Yamadaho this day, the second time!
I paired the tomato flavor of the pasta with this crisp, dry sake!
After this, we finished up with some Saku and ginger ale!
It was going to be a busy week, so we recharged our energy with good sake!
