I've been working late and drinking late, but I'm going to enjoy the afterglow of the previous weekend with a bottle of Gokotsuru unfiltered unpasteurized sake from the barrel 🍶🎵.
We are so happy to have this beautiful sake at KEG 😊.
#Team Touji Takeuchi is the best!
Mikotsuru Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki
Rating 4.5
100% Yamadanishiki rice from Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 35% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume.
A sparkling sake that radiates the style of Mikotsuru's finest sake. It is clear and silky smooth on the tongue. A fresh and fruity brand with a gaseous feel from the bottle heating process. It has a full sweetness and aroma of ripe melon and pear.
Tuesday night...
Sake of the season hasn't appeared yet, so I'm holding out for a fire 😩.
Mikotsuru's "Kinmon Nishiki" 🍶.
It has a more mature aroma and taste, unlike the raw sake 🤣.
It's definitely delicious, but
But when you know the taste of the nama sake, you may find it a little lacking 💦.
I can't wait to try it 🎤.
I just want to say 🤣
I can't wait 😍.

Today we had a new sake from Mikotsuru... junmai dry orikarami 😀.
We got it last year too, so this is the second year in a row 😀.
Kaorin said it was too spicy for her when she got it last year, but this year she said it tasted good even though it had a strong flavor 🤣.
I wonder if this is the progress of her taste buds in a year 😀.
Kaorin said last year that this sake might taste better if it was heated up, so next time I'm going to try heating it up to lukewarm 😀.
Good evening, Yasube!
Taste buds are evolving 🎵
I think I'm getting better at tasting different kinds of sake too 😁✨.
I'm also interested in Goko-san's dry sake: ⤴️
I hope to debut Goko-san next year 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-.
I appreciate that even if you are as old as I am, you can still grow little by little 🤣.
For me, Gokotsuru is a lucky combination of crane and turtle in Nagano Prefecture, please try it 😀.
When I was in Ueda the other day, I stopped by Mikotsuru Sake Brewery and bought this sake.
This is my first Mikotsuru.
It's refreshing and quite tangy 😅.

Last Saturday was my eldest daughter's "recital of life" or, in my own childhood, a "playground party", so I took the day off to watch my child grow up 🥰.
I was happy to see my daughter as the top performer for the second year in a row, as she was in last year's performance. ✨️
The next day, Sunday, I was exhausted from working on site early in the morning, so let's have a drink while watching my daughter's performance that I captured on camera on Monday night, this time I opened it 🍶.
Mikotsuru Special Limited Edition Miyamanishiki Orikagarami Nama-nihonshu.
This is one of the last two bottles of this year's Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai!
［A glass.]
The aroma is sweet with a hint of strawberry, and the mouthfeel has a tangy gassy sensation on the tongue, followed by a strawberry-like acidity and a refreshing sweetness.
［Mokkiri.]
The mouthfeel has a slight gassy sensation, followed by a refreshing sweet umami taste, and then it finishes with a refreshing aftertaste and a strawberry-like faintly sweet aftertaste.
The depth of the sweetness increases as the orikomi mixes with the sake, giving it a light "Takachiyo" image.
The deep flavor of the duck meat and the horse mackerel sashimi from Ishikawa go well together.
The fourth one is the ranking of the songs with the most plays for me this year on [Spotify] ✨️
［While "Haru Saruhi", "Puni Puni Denki", and "yama" are still in the same lineup, "Nomelon Nollemon" is ranked in this year's list 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
Your daughter's life presentation is a very emotional event to see your child's growth🍀.
And what a great way to have a drink while watching that video 😍.
Goko-san always looks delicious too 🤤.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve. It is a privilege to be a parent to see your child grow up and to have the top responsibility for the second year in a row. Also known as parental stupidity, it is a privilege. And the appropriate gold crane is the best.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
It is a precious time 🥹 to see your children grow up outside in the flesh 🥹, you have to make sure to capture the time that is only now 🤗 and it's wonderful to think back and attest to the photos!
Hi ma-ki-!
It was a pleasure for me to be able to witness your hard work and growth that you don't usually show at home 🥰.
My eldest daughter's eyes lit up when I told her that I would make sure to tell Santa about her hard work 🤣.
Hello WOM!
I was surprised to see my eldest daughter jumping out first thing when the performance started and playing the musical accompaniment for the other children🥰.
I was so surprised to see my eldest daughter jump out and play the call music for the other children 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I feel that you are becoming a firm older sister compared to the picture of you as an infant a while ago 🥰.
I will enjoy the days I have now so that when I enter puberty in the future, I will miss the honesty I have now every day: ✨️
Hi Jive 😃.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and daddy's work 💐.
Your daughter's presentation, two years in a row as the top batsman, your daughter must be spectacular 💐I'm sure she will be a great lady in the future 🥰.
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀!
I feel surprisingly gutsy to see you jumping out at the first sign of trouble again this year 🥰.
I hope we can play together as kids for a while yet 🤗.
At Hi and Yoi. This is my first visit to Suwa Gokura with a reservation while soaking in the afterglow of the Suwa Gokura Machiaruki drinking tour. Next is Mikotsuru. It is a beautiful sake!
Team Touji Takeuchi is the best!
The second of three sake tastings is Gokotsuru.
It is also delicious.
The aroma is discreet and fruity.
Mild and slightly tangy on the palate
The middle taste is slightly peculiar, sweet and delicious.
The aftertaste is spicy and lingering, stimulating the back of the throat.
I wonder if it has a high alcohol content. It is a little peculiar compared to Kuromatsu Senjo, but it is a delicious peculiar.
When paired with pickled nozawana or turnip as a snack, it really disappears as if it is wrapped up.
I also stopped by Shimosuwa before Suwa Gokura 😅 I bought some KEG, but I also enjoyed tasting the casks of sake. The fresh sake at the brewery store was fantastic!

Well, I'm ready for a U-turn on the 1235 flight to New Chitose. It is at a time when other airlines have decided to cancel the flight, so there is a rush of waiting lists, and we can't even transfer to the previous time. My colleague's flight was cancelled yesterday, so he arrived safely in Sapporo on an early morning flight this morning. Thanks in advance for any help.
My stomach is churning with anxiety, and I can only drink alcohol that I know I prefer. So I'll have some Miko-chan. It's delicious. It's sweet and delicious 😭.
I'm nervous so I didn't get drunk at all and that made it a boring evening drink: ......
Well, I don't get drunk to begin with😆.
Mikotsuru Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course Special Limited Edition Miyamanishiki Unoigarami Nama-shu.
The last sake of the 2025 Hanpukai will be from last year's Grand Prix winner Mikotsuru.
It has an aroma of apple and muscat with a hint of citrus nuance, and on the palate, you can feel a faint gasiness. The texture is mellow, and the deep sweetness and umami with a hint of oriki (rice cake) spread out generously. The aftertaste is clean and crisp with pleasant bitterness and acidity.
The freshness and the moderate sense of maturity from ice storage are well balanced and harmonized!

I said I would be a hunter to hunt Shinshu Kamerei this year, but since I'm here, I'd like to combine my favorite Nagano sake, Shinshu Kamerei and Mikotsuru, and be a Tsurukame hunter 😀.
The first Mikotsuru we will be having now is a Shinshu secret hanpukai sake, so we got this ogara-mi.
I'm not sure of the detailed specs since it was a Shinshu secret hanpukai sake 🤣.
We compared the top clear sake and the mixed sake that had been brought to room temperature and the hiya state, and they all tasted great😇!
Each one has a different taste impression, but I think my favorite was the mixed and chilled one 😇.
They are all fruity, but this chilled mixture gave me the most fruity and refreshing taste 😀.
In my opinion, the two best Nagano sake are Shinshu Kamerei's 🐢 and Gokotsuru's 🕊️(I think of cranes). ❤️
Tsurukame hunters and 🕊️🐢 hunters are the best😇
Good evening, Yasube!
I'm hunting for a new one 🎵.
I'd like to try drinking at Otsuru-san too 🤤.
I've never come across it in my area 😅.
I'm sure there are many ways to enjoy Orizake 🤗
Good morning, ma-ki-!
It is good that you can enjoy not only different temperatures of nigori type sake, but also different ways of mixing the ori (ori) in one bottle 😇.
I'm especially happy when I can enjoy the different expressions of the supernatant and the mixture 😇.
Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞You've upgraded to a Tsurukame hunter 😆 Mikotsuru is another Nagano sake I'm interested in, but it's hard to find 😅I guess I'll have to try that liquor store again ✨.
Hi Nao888 😀
I would love for you to try Gokotsuru sake as it is one of my favorite sake 😀.
I'm usually at that liquor store every Saturday when they open, so if it's convenient for you, I'd love to join you 😇
