Tenju no Umakuchi Junmai❣️
This junmai sake is perfect for lukewarm heating🎶.
This 70% polished rice junmai sake costs just under 2,500 yen per square bottle, but the secret behind its low price is that it is made from common rice, not specified rice.
The use of marigold agricultural university flower yeast as the yeast adds a subtle flair to this humble junmai sake 😊.
A bit of a surprise when I poured it into my glass 👀.
Quite a deep yellow 💛.
Is it an aged sake? I thought it was an aged sake😅.
The aroma is a bit greenish, banana-like and a hint of rice 🌾😄.
(Hey, where's the marigolds? 🌼) lol.
In the mouth, you can feel a mild, mild rice sweetness, followed by bitterness and a robust umami ❣️
Then acidity and astringency are added in a nice salty 👍.
The acidity spreads gradually and gives it a nice balance 😋.
The spiciness that comes at the end is just right and the balance of the five tastes is very good 🎶.
Third one, who can GET the big money this year ✊.
I'm in 8th place and my partner is in 7th ‼️
Well, lottery? Lotto?
What should I earn money with 😁😁😁😁😁
Good evening, T.KISO 😃.
I'm going to have even more luck after drinking Tenju! Please go buy some soon ‼️ and...since we don't even have any 🥲 if you win, please give me all of it 🙏🤣.

Iwate-Akita-Yamagata-Yuri Kogen Railway Trip🚃Day 3
The purpose of this trip, take the Yuri Kogen Railway to the last stop, Yajima Station 🚃 with breakfast at Tagabe Shokudo, a diner just a 1-minute walk from the station.
Sweet and gentle on the palate. ☺️ Aftertaste spicy and sharp, too. Loose. Daily sake. Pair it with a plate of sweetly seasoned barbecued meat to increase the spiciness. Both ramen and meat udon are delicious 😆I wish there was one in my neighborhood 👍

Natsuko yeast sake!
I left my fall sake unopened for a long time, but it remained easy to drink with a clean gentle umami flavor.
I think the previous Nadeko sake I had was a bit more lactic acidic, but this one was subtle, and I personally prefer this one!
There aren't many sakes that go perfectly with the Japanese-leaning, miscellaneous foods that we eat in our daily lives, so this one may be very rare and precious!
2025 Risshun Morning Press (2025)
From the crisp and juicy mouthfeel
A sweet aroma escapes into the nose.
Serve with tiger globefish liver
Polishing ratio 50%.
15% alcohol by volume
Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
We went to pick up our first Risshun morning pressing.
We enjoyed it along with a sake lees soup made with the sake lees we received with it, and sashimi and yellowtail teriyaki.
The aroma is not so strong.
The taste is not strong and light.
Drinking it in a glass with a trumpet-shaped mouthpiece took away a little of the chirichiri-ness and made it seem milder.
Since it is a good luck charm, I will enjoy it while joining hands with the sake god to wish for many encounters with delicious sake this year.
