This is the sake for tonight.
Yes, it is a smooth and easy to drink dry sake without any spikes.
Delicious.
Ah, regular sake is delicious.
Normal sake is fun.
Let's make a regular sake club!
We went to Morito Sake Brewery, which has stalls at the Taiyo no Marche and Yokohama Kitanaka Marche in the Kanto area😊.
Perfect for summer! It's a refreshingly dry sake, perfect for summer! I enjoyed it cooled down to the perfect temperature.
Tochigi Sake Festa ①.
On Saturday, I was looking forward to "Toast with Tochigi Local Sake Festa 2024" 🤗.
As Kotori-san already mentioned, it was a two-day event starting from Friday evening the day before, and Kotori-san, Nanoha-san, Higu-san, and Ars-san from Kenmin-kai participated on the first day: ‼️
On the second day, I met Tsubu-chan at Tobu-Utsunomiya station for the 3:00 p.m. start of the show, and we went to the venue! We met up with Higu and Nanoha-san, who were there for the second day in a row, and they had saved us a seat 😊It was very hot 🥵, so we were very grateful! They were really gods!
I've never had a drink before! So we started off with a toast with a bottle of Junmai Ginjyo Drunken Summer by Higashi Rikishi.
The other drinks in the first half were
Watanabe Shuzo's Asahi Koki Junmai Daiginjo Yumesasara: I knew Asahi Koki was good and I could enjoy the aftertaste 😋.
Kobayashi Brewery's Junmai Ginjyo Kanuma Musume: A dry sake that is easy to drink and refreshing.
Kitanoseki Shuzo's Kura-no-Machi Junmai Ginjo: a dry sake with a sharp taste 🤔.
And Morito Shuzo's Junmai Ginjo Shoninzawa Yumesasara! Jay thought this was the best with a nice aroma 😚.
And the party continued with a lot of talk 🤗.
A mini Kenmin-kai-style love affair with Tochigi 🥰!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌕.
Looks like a fun event!
Nice photo of the toast: ☺️
Come to think of it, I don't think the Kansai Chapter took a picture during the toast 🧐.
Ah! Maybe because Kansai people are impatient and want to drink as soon as possible 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
A prefects' party around Tochigi sake is a good idea 😀.
I'm planning to go to Akirika's brewery opening next Saturday, but I'm sorry I don't seem to have anyone to join me as I'm deep in the mountains 🥲.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃Tochigi Sake Festa, it's definitely fun to have a lively conversation with everyone over drinks they've never had 👍Mini Kenmin Kai, I can feel the fun atmosphere from the photos of the toast: ‼️
Jay & Nobby, what a great local sake fiesta 😄and to be able to hold a prefectural party on the spot, what more is there to say? It's just like Tochigi love 🥰. It's also great to discover new sake!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛this sounds like a fun event 🎶I can attend these daytime events from my parents' house in Utsunomiya 😊I would love to go if there is another one ✨.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's an intoxicating event full of Tochigi love 🫶 ☺️
I can feel your love for Tochigi again in the way the event naturally turns into a petit Tochigi citizens' party 😊.
I'm still learning a lot about Tochigi sake that I didn't know 📝.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
It's great to see the Tochigi love 🥰 of the Kenmin-kai members who naturally get together at events 😁.
We had "Toichi Drunken Summer" at the Kansai Off-line Meeting a few days ago 😋.
Jay & Nobby, Good morning ☀11 Masamune, I may have never seen it before. Sake with a feel that you can only drink there is good, isn't it? And Yumesasara, even better!
Jay & Nobby.
Good morning!
It's nice to be able to taste all the local sakes at once 😍Comparing drinks is really a luxurious way to drink 😊and even more so with good friends........
Hi Maru 😃
Here's a picture of the annual toast of the Tochigi Prefectural Association 🤗I was so eager to drink that I realized later that I didn't take a picture 😫😅It was a fun event 🤗.
Hi Wakata 😃
I don't even know what it tastes like😅I went mainly for Tochigi sake, which I've never had before🤗It's fun to talk with a member who is at ease😊.
Hi Sashiu 😃
We were supposed to have a sake tasting championship at this fiesta and we were all excited to go out ‼️ but it was postponed 🥲 Mini Prefectural Party! It was fun 😊
Hi Jay & Nobby😄!
Cheers Festa 🥂That was fun 😆🎶.
We had plenty of time to drink in the daytime, and since it was outside, it was OK to make noise 🤭Higu & Nanoha were grateful to have a seat for you to sit down ☺️✨
The 11 Masamune🎊 that was talked about for a moment in a certain neighborhood.
I was home late every day and couldn't get into the topic, so I uploaded it here.
This is a bottle of sake that is good local sake ❗ and a bottle of sake that I am eager to put a sash on myself!
I had received a bottle at the beginning of the year and had half-neglected it because it was only a bottle, but I opened it because it was the only place I could find it 😁.
I've had it before and I know what it tastes like, but I'll have it 🍶.
The aroma is just like a dry sake!
But the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet with a hint of rice, and it slowly finishes with a hint of alcohol.
I have never tried heating it up, but I think it would be delicious at room temperature 😃.
Good evening Yasusake-san, I laughed at your timeliness 😊 Thank you for your hard work until late every day. I've never had it so I'm going to visit the brewery next time!
Good evening, Nanoha-san!
You gave me a good opportunity, so I just opened it ❗
I'm not familiar with the Morito Sake Brewery, even though I'm supposed to be close to it myself 😓.
Please visit ☺👍.
Hi YasuSake 😃
The prefects were instantly 😆 excited about the story and quickly uploaded it! You have great energy 🤗.
The Dry Local Sake ‼️ you have to taste it once 👍
Hi YasuSake 😊Hello 😊Thanks for coming home late every day 😌and the buzz, for a moment 🤣Yamayato, I also found it in the eki-naka, but it is the dry local sake... 🤔It will be winter when you pick it up ♨️
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I'm not often able to respond to prefect stories right away, so okay, here I am! I opened it 😁.
I will check with the breweries in my prefecture to see if there are any that I haven't received yet 😃.
Hello, Kotori-san!
I'm tired of being flabbergasted day after day 😆.
It was too much for a moment and by the time I realized it was cold lol.
It's not as dry as I thought it would be, but I think I can enjoy it lukewarm? I think ❗

Hi Ozemi!
I've seen Juichi-Masamune on the sake list but I haven't tried it yet 😅I'll try to buy it next time I see it 🤗Is it a refreshing type of sake?
I'll try to buy it the next time I see it 🤗 Is it a refreshing type? You are exactly 1600 in 🎉Congratulations on ㊗️
I am visiting Utsunomiya 🎵Today I enjoyed a drive while working. Takako cherry blossoms, almost in full bloom, were beautiful. It was nice to see the cherry blossoms, but I couldn't drink it, so I went back to the hotel and drank it 🎵The cherry blossom kabob from Juichi Masamune has a nice cherry blossom design 🎵It has a good flavor and is refreshing and sharp 🎵It has a Showa-era feel to it, which is also good 🎵.
Tochigi prefecture is a good place to visit 😆🎵🎵🎵
Good evening, Mr. Takahiro!
I see you are in Utsunomiya 🤗Takako cherry blossoms 🌸 are beautiful ✨I am in Tochigi city and today I went for a drive in the city 🚙 in search of 🌸😄Tochigi is still before full bloom in many cases 😙Cherry blossom cup is good 😉👍
Good morning, Tsubu 🙋.
Thank you for your comment 🎵
The hanging cherry blossoms 🌸 in Utsunomiya are almost in full bloom 🎵The Someiyoshino 🌸 will be in full bloom from now on and will be at its best this weekend. Please enjoy hanami and hanami sake 🎵
Hello, TAKAHIRO 😃.
Thank you for Utsunomiya Tourism PR ‼️😊I saw Juichi-Masamune on the list of recommendations for sakewa, so I wanted to have it next time 🤗Showa-feeling! I want to feel it 😆.
Hello Jay & Nobby 😃❗
Thanks for your comment 🎵
Besides Juichi Masamune, I have Sawa Hime and other floral cup sake series. I'm going to collect them from now on 🎵
This is one bottle that I got for my birthday 🎉 and forgot I had it at work. I'm glad to see that the love of sake is spreading.
I felt the full flavor and drank 500ml in exactly one day. Now, what should I do next?
The fifth "Masamune Shibari" cup
Juichi-Masamune Sakura Yeast Original Sake
This is my first time to drink Masamune.
The aroma is rich and sweet with brown sugar.
On the palate...
I knew it. ❗️
It's a little bit sweet, but not too sweet 👍.
