Travel from Kumamoto to Kagawa and Tokushima to Mie
Meet up with my eldest son at my wife's parents' house
Tonight we will have a party with sake that my son brought from Tochigi.
Jun Dai Sake Mirai from Houou Mita!
He brought a nice bottle!
Melon aroma!
Sweet like a melon before it is fully ripe.
Light bitterness and pungency in the second half.
Melon lingers on the tongue 🥰.
My wife was drinking sake for the first time in a while,
She said it was "so sweet".
It's the future of sake😅.
Thanks to my eldest son who understands his father's taste 🙏.
Good morning, TOMO!
Thanks for driving 🚙.
I hope you and your children will join us and have a relaxing and enjoyable drinking time 🤗.
I'd like to try Mida's sake Mirai too 😍.
Sweet and fragrant muscatel
Hououmida's standard new sake with a little lees involved😄.
The moment the bottle is opened, a sweet aroma like Muscat-flavored Calpis spreads.
There is almost no sense of effervescence, but the impression is very fresh, as is typical of new sake, and when drunk, it has a refreshing sweetness like lychee 😊.
The sweetness disappears softly and goes down the throat without resistance, also lychee-like 👍.
I think most of the sake I enjoy these days is Gohyakumangoku 😁.
Last at our favorite yakitori restaurant for the last time this year: Houou Mita by Kobayashi Shuzo!
This time it was the first pressing.
This is also the first time I've had this label, so I'm looking forward to it!
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you take a sip, you can't get enough of the rich umami!
I have the impression that the Toronto taste is well matched with the flavor of the sake.
The lingering aftertaste is exquisitely delicious with the spiciness on top of the umami.
The food was excellent, the sake was excellent, and the comfort was excellent, so we had a great time drinking at our favorite yakitori restaurant for the last time this year!
Good morning, ma-ki-😊.
The last yakitori restaurant of the year is also good for good food and drinks 😋.
It's important to have fun in a comfortable space for you 🥰Houou Mida looks delicious too!
Good morning, ma-ki - I hear that Houou Mita's first bottles are also delicious, and they sound really good. Above all, the space with a trusting proprietor seems very cozy. ☺️
Thank you, Takashi!
Yes, I am so glad you enjoyed the last Yakitori restaurant of this year! I enjoyed the last Yakitori restaurant of this year until the very end 🎵.
I know, right?
Thank you, Mr. Studying!
I think I was probably pretty drunk, but I still felt the delicious flavor of the sake and it was outstanding 😋.
I know, right? ⤴️ It's a blissful time to drink with the owners 😍.
I thought I'd have another glass of local sake, but here it is.
The container is different, and the aroma can be enjoyed.
For 800 yen, this is a good choice.
Sweet and sour.
Delicious.
I can see why it is popular.
The fourth cup was a Houou Mita, which I had enjoyed for the second time. The one served was Heki-ban, a limited edition.
The aroma is slightly Japanese pear. No gassiness. The sweetness is a little strong and the acidity is moderate. It has more sake flavor than expected and is delicious.
