Sake brought to us by the head of the Fukushima group at the Koriyama launch! The sake was also served at the camp and was very tasty... ♡ Fukushima sake often has a sweet taste. ☺️
The 33rd brewery in the Hankyu Brewery Festival 2023.
Aizu Homare", Homare Sake Brewery, Fukushima Prefecture
It is over the limit, but there was a Homare sake brewery next to it, and there was a label of a color I had never seen before on a karahashi, so I tasted it at the end of the tour.
Karahashi Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki
Karahashi Junmai Ginjo Omachi
The label with a color I had never seen before was Omachi. I checked later and found out that it is sold only in Fukushima Prefecture.
Forgot to take a picture at the end💦.
I drank the Omachi, but I thought the Yamadanishiki was undeniably delicious.
That concludes my review of the Hankyu Brewery Festival, where I tasted 33 breweries in 7 hours of endurance tasting 🙏.
Sorry for the long delay in consecutive posts😅.
Next up is the 3 hour endurance review of the 6th Takashimaya Sake Festival, which I went to a week after the Kuramoto Festival 🤣.
I toured around with Kansai legend bouken-san here too 🤣🤣🤣!
Hi Nemuchi, good evening.
It's quintessential ⤴️ tasting is done so much ⤴️
I will try to sample more things next time.
I'm looking forward to the Takashimaya Sake Festival 😊.
Thanks for the 7 hour endurance tasting review 🤣I enjoyed being with you even if only for part of it 😊I felt your love for each and every brewery and sake you reviewed so well even though you looked so drunk 🍶🥰.
Hello Nemuchi 😃
Good job on completing the Hankyu 😊33 breweries 😳⁉️ it's amazing you can drink that much 🤣Next is Takashimaya...you really love sake 🥰.
ma-ki-san, good evening 🌛I think long tasting like mine is probably unique 🤣but there always seem to be people who collapse at brewery festivals 😅Oh, and just in case, they pour less than normal 🍶.
Aladdin, good evening 🌛It was a pleasure to be with you and your knowledgeable colleagues 😊Did I look like I was drunk? I took my time and tasted slowly, so I was still conscious and hebereke 😁.
bouken-san, good evening 🌛Karahashi was the last one and there were a lot of people there, so I felt like I just wanted to drink rather than take pictures.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛I found myself drinking too much in 7 hours 😅Takashimaya has a lot of breweries I didn't know about, so I visited too many 🤣I'll try to post it at ...... soon 😁.
Rafa papa, good evening 🌛54 breweries, as expected I couldn't visit all of them 🤣I asked for a small amount for tasting, so I guess it's not that much... 😅 but I'm not sure if I like sake or tasting 🤣.
Fukushima Prefecture has many sake breweries that brew delicious sake, but Kitakata has especially many!
An adult theme park where you can tour sake breweries while eating Kitakata ramen
Karahashi is a sake made by the Aizu Homare Sake Brewery in Kitakata.
Elegant sweet aroma with a hint of honey
Charming sweetness typical of Omachi
The aftertaste is a bit bitter with a strong rice flavor.
A perfect food sake that is very drinkable.
Enjoy it with pickled turnips with a hint of autumn.
Good evening, Yukachin! In Kitakata, there was a sake brewery, a ramen shop, and a souvenir shop where you can stand and have a drink, it was like a dreamland. Quite a walk though 😅.
This drink is one of the top ones I've had this year: ❣️
Karahashi😍
It's a sake from announcer Yumi Karahashi's family🍶.
Yumi Karahashi reminds me of the King of Noodle Sake 😏.
The aroma is fruity, but the taste is sweet and delicious 👍just the way I like it ✨.
It was so good, I had to try the other sakes 💦.
Good evening, Yukachin-san 🌆.
Yes, it is!
It's the sake of Yumi Karahashi's parents' family. ❗️
I thought Yucachin's parents' family is also a sake brewery, but I guess not 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Yukachin 🌙
I had a bottle of this last year and I remember it was really tasty, but after reading your review, I want to drink it again.
Good evening, Yucachin 😃.
Yumi Karahashi got married 😖and became a married woman 😫.
Hmmm? I like the idea of being a married woman ❗It's more erotic 😁.
Hi Ryupapa😃I actually came with the set sale, so I honestly wasn't expecting it, so I'm glad I came across it😊Fire-roasted is delicious too ⁉️ I'll look for it ‼️
Hi, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃 Karahashi Ana, you have become a married woman 😆 I respect the way you talk, which eventually takes the conversation in an erotic direction 🤣.
Hi Yucachin, ☀Karashi, it's delicious 😊I also rank it in the list of delicious sake that I can't forget 😋I especially love Yamada Nishiki ❗I drink it every time I come to the department store for a tasting 🤣.
Good evening, Yukachin-san😄.
I've been curious about Karashi for a while now ❣️
It's a high-level Fukushima sake, after all 😆.
And I didn't know it was Karahashi Anna's family home 😳.
I'll have to drink it 😁.
I actually got a souvenir of Corona at the Aoba Festival. Is it too late now...
Four days after the positive test, I was free from fever and lethargy, and I could drink now!
It's been a while since my last appearance! Backroom deal with Dr. Sake
I had been curious about this product for a long time! I never had a chance to pick it up, so I have high expectations for this product because it was purchased from a teacher.
The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel has a nice sweet acidity, followed by an onrushing umami flavor, a juicy initial hit, a slightly citrusy aftertaste, and finally a clean acidity, bitterness, and a slight astringent taste.
The sake is served one after another, one after another. It is delicious!
Thank you very much for the sake!
Hi Colonel Lal, ☀️
I'm sorry to hear about your Corona 😰Please don't take it too hard 🙏.
Long time no see Sake Sensei! I've been curious about this brand since I've been seeing it in sakewas recently, but it's still delicious 😊👍Sensei, you're right!
Good evening, Ponchan 😁.
Corona holiday is only until the beginning of this week and I'm already at work normally 😊.
The doctor has a great way of pairing people and drinks and prepares drinks that are 100% addictive 😄 what a special ability, I'm impressed 🤘.
Colonel Lal Good evening. It was a tough Corona. The return drink must be exceptional. I have never had Karahashi before. The level of sake in Fukushima is very high and all of them are delicious.
Hello Colonel Lal 😃
Coronas are so nasty because this is what you get if you're not careful.
Please proceed with the disinfection of your body with alcohol to celebrate your recovery 😁.
Hi Colonel Lal 😃.
I thought Corona was far away, but I see you are still nearby 🥲Good to hear you had a good cup of sake 😆 Karahashi was served at a restaurant in Fukushima station during GW 🤗.
Sashiu-san good morning 😁.
This Karafushi is not from a very famous brewery, but it is a quintessential Fukushima 👍!
As a neighboring prefecture, it's frustrating, but I don't think the theory of Fukushima or Yamagata when in doubt will be overturned for the time being 🤘.
Good morning, Chichi 😁.
I'm really not so careful 😭this is the first time I got it, but I think it was easier than the flu 😅.
Well, from today, I'll start disinfecting, disinfecting, disinfecting again 🤘.
Good morning, J&N 😁.
I realized that it is still very familiar to us 😅.
After working on Saturday and Sunday, I'm going home to disinfect with alcohol 🤘.
Colonel Lal. I'm sorry to hear that Corona was a tough time. I am glad to hear that it is back. I got hooked on sake after the Corona disaster. I am sure I will have more opportunities to drink sake when the Corona is over and I am back on business trips. I have to sterilize it.
WOM, good morning 😁.
I got it this time and the mental damage was more than the physical 😅.
I'll have to be careful 😉 I'll be disinfecting diligently tonight too 🤘.
New Brand 🍾 from Homare Sake Brewery
This is my first time drinking sake,
I was sure I was getting the right Fukushima sake ✨.
Apart from the gorgeous fruity aroma
It has a somewhat peculiar face 🥸.
It has a pineapple feel 🍍.
There is also a soft and fluffy touch on the palate,
It has a soft and fluffy touch on the palate, but with a moderate acidity that is common to Fukushima sake.
The impression is that the umami comes at you ✨.
I'd like to try a different sake rice 😋!
Good evening, Choroki 😃.
I bought Yume no Kaori because I was confused with Yamada Nishiki, but it was as good as Yamada 😋 They also have other Omachi 😊.
Sake purchased at Hankyu Department Store's traveling SAKE.
I have been drinking Aizu Homare, but this is my first time drinking Karahashi.
Nemuchi-san said that Karahashi is her favorite sake.
It is a fire-brewed sake, but it is fresh and a little gassy. It needs to be refrigerated, and I wonder if it is once-heated.
Fruity, sweet and delicious. The acidity is impressive.
After tasting, Yamadanishiki was also good, but I chose Yume no Kaori because I felt it had a unique character.
Karahashi has Yamadanishiki, Yumen no Kou, and Yumemachi, and it seems that they also have a draft, but I would definitely like to try the draft since it is so good in the hi-ire style.
If I were alone, I probably would not have gone through with it or bought it, so thank you, Nezuchi-san 😃.
It's starting to feel like pineapple after a while since I opened it.
One of the best fire-roasted liquors I've ever tasted.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
I also saw it for the first time this time 😁 maybe I just didn't notice it until now 😅I think it's because we went around together that I found this drink 🤗.
Good evening, bouken 🌛Traveling SAKE had a lot of delicious food 😋I'm glad you recommended the karahashi, and your choice of Yume no Kou was very cool 😁I'd like to try the fresh karahashi next time 😆.
Another brand of Aizu Homare
I have fond memories of having Yumi Karahashi pour me a glass of Karahashi at last year's Ginjo-shu Fair.
Not necessarily because of that, but it is really delicious.
The aroma, sweetness, and acidity are all unremarkable, yet it has a good balance of flavor and body that keeps you from getting tired of drinking it.
It has a calm and mature impression, just like Yumi Karahashi...
I could have taken more time to drink it.
In my opinion, it was the best of the day!
