Well, the kurabiraki has started 😁.
We're heading out for a tasting right away 😊.
First up is the Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku Sake 😊.
This sake is not for sale, it is for the sake show 😅.
It's very valuable 😅☝️
So let's drink it before it's gone 😁.
The aroma has a strong ginjo aroma, and the flavor has a nice, clean taste and a bit of roughness, which is only possible with shizukuri 😊.
Delicious 😁.
Today is the Takagi Sake Brewery's "kurabiraki" (opening of the brewery) 😆.
I was so excited to participate in the event 😊.
Each table was already stocked with sake, and we were told to drink it while we waited for the event to start 🤣.
That's a nice consideration 😊.
So we'll start with the Seme Blend 😆 ☝️
The strong rice flavor that only Seme can give...with a touch of bitterness, it's a must for sake lovers 😊.
It's delicious 😆☝️
Good evening, Kano!
It's started 🎵
I have a feeling we will be drinking a lot today from the welcome sake 😁✨✨.
I have the impression of a solid sake 😲.
Next, Takagi Brewery's Space Deep Sea Sake: ☝️
This sake is brewed with yeast that was sent to the deep sea and space and survived: ☝️
It is a dry sake that cuts cleanly, just like Tokujun 😊.
It's also delicious 😁.
Space and deep sea...what a great idea!
Next up is a Junmai Ginjo Oorigarami from Takagi Shuzo ✨.
This one is also fresh and fruity, but as you drink it, you start to get a sense of graininess: ☝️
This one goes well with food too 😊.
Delicious 😁.
I really wanted to upload this on the day I drank, but I got drunk and was hungover the next day... 😭
So, I'm uploading it today. Saturday and Sunday were "Tosa no Okyaku: Tosa no Ozashiki Gyoshiki" (Tosa's Okyaku: Tosa's Gyoshiki Fun Experience), and I made sure to participate. ☝️ In case you missed it, I participated on Saturday. ☝️
As expected...I'm drinking a lot😅
First of all, we started with Itookashi from Takagi Sake Brewery: ☝️
This sake is brewed with the same CEL24 yeast as Kameizumi✨.
It's sweet and fruity, but less sweet than Kameizumi😅.
Delicious!
We received the plums of abundance! Year of manufacture March 2024!
You've been sleeping for a year.
The moment I opened the bottle, I could smell the sweet aroma!
What is this!
Sweet and fruity apple white peach juice with a clean aftertaste... I fainted...!
I fainted...! I was in heaven with my first Kochi sake!
Mellow Sweet Fresh
Lots of fine bubbles in the glass. Mild mouthfeel with fresh gas and sweet and sour taste reminiscent of muscat. After that, it is very smooth and clean.
On a business trip to an izakaya, we selected a rare selection from a lineup of 50 types of sake. Some of them were not yet registered at Sake-no-Wa. I enjoyed the new encounters.
I almost forgot to give it to you!
It looks like a thick, rich nigori.
It smells like foamed rice.
It's a thick rice juice! (Umai!
It is a royal road doburoku type.
It has sweetness, umami, and the bitterness of alcohol.
It smells a little like rum raisins in the back of the nose.
It's a big bang, but it goes smoothly down your throat, so you want to gobble it down.
It is honestly my favorite.
Taste level 4.5/5
Light turbidity, slight effervescence (subtle)
The ginjo aroma is to my liking, with a sense of softness. Sweetness and indescribable umami.
Needless to say, it is delicious!
Thank you, Nanakuma Sake Shop!
Before I know it... it's already February⁉️
It seems like just the year before last...maybe it's my age, but it seems to be accelerating... 😓.
By the way, yesterday's Uguisu...as usual, it disappeared before the second day, so I'll get back on track...lol
I opened a bottle of Umeko, which I bought the label for 🍶.
The aroma is slightly fruity 😆.
And then... from the first sip, it has a strong sweetness and umami, with a little bit of the pithiness of nama-zake at the end 🥰.
The bitterness is only slightly perceptible, and the taste is generally gentle. It is quite delicious 😋.
I think "like a tropical juice" on the back label is not wrong 😊.
It's more for before and after dinner than as a food drink 👌.
Looking forward to tomorrow's taste change 🤩.
Day 2: 🗒️
More tropical like pineapple🍍🏝️ flavor⤴️ the pizzazz I felt yesterday is still gone... but I think it's generally more intense✨.
This is... delicious 😋.
Hello, koiing gulls 😃.
Time really goes by too fast 🥲, this year will be over before you know it😅.
Umeko with her indescribable face! No wonder I'm buying the jackets 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
Time seems to go by so fast because I'm so busy with my daily life 😅....
But even with all that going on, I still think the evening drinks 🍶 are exceptional 👌Umeko, it was quite my favorite taste of the year 😍.
CEL24, known as Kameizumi.
This is a Takagi sake brewed with the new yeast L.CEL24.
And since it is a Concept Workers Slection and the other CWS sakes were also delicious, we have high expectations for this one.
After opening the bottle, you can smell the piney aroma: 👍️
It has a great sweetness, but it's not too strong, so it's easy to understand and you can't help but gulp it down. I'm sure Umeko will be keeping this a secret.
I was gulping it down when I noticed that the inside of the glass was cloudy towards the end...
I forgot that it was a bit cloudy, so I only drank the top clear part of the glass!
I love the clarity of the supernatant 😘.
