As we are a business traveler with a lack of vegetables, I ordered this pork shabu-shabu with lots of vegetables 🐖🥦🫛🥒🍅.
As for the sake, I still had some of this that the young master prepared for me last time, so I ordered some more 🤭.
It tasted just like the last time I had it.
It is deliciously sweet with a slight bitterness at the end.
There seems to be more than just this sakura!
If you find it somewhere else, let's drink it!

I opened the bottle on Sunday when I came home from seeing the cherry blossoms.
I had it last year at this time of the year, but I think it tastes better this year.
It's a delicious sake with clarity and umami.
I already got the green one and would like to try the purple and sky one.
By the way, I gave my neighbor a bottle of Tsukiyoshi red fire-brewed as a return gift for Tateyama, and she highly appreciated how refreshing and delicious it was👍.
Good morning, Mr. Mizuhashi 😃.
Tsukiyoshino! This is one I've seen recently and I'm curious about it😍I'd like to bring it to you if I see it 🤗It comes in many different colors 🤗.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Is it because it won a gold medal at last year's appraisal? I buy it in Ueda or Chikuma, but it seems to be moving fast these days 🤣.
Rumor has it that it's getting better every year 😋.
Today in Miyagi, the cherry blossoms are declared to be in full bloom! The toji brewed this sake with the hope that people would drink it during the cherry blossom viewing season. I've enjoyed this sake ever since I first had it at Tsukiyoshino! I couldn't buy it due to a problem with the number of bottles left in the fridge... but this time I finally got my hands on it 😊.
The aroma is peach, apple, and a unique brown sugar-like aroma.
I was not able to buy it due to the leftover quantity in the fridge. It smells like flowers or honey 😄It is fruity, but not like the fruity aroma of other alcoholic beverages.
When you drink it, the sweet flavor comes through, and then the bitterness is present at first, but it fades away after a while. The acidity is also moderate! The aftertaste is delicious with just the right amount of residual flavor 😄It becomes more beautiful with time 😄This sake is typical of Nagano.
The sweetness here is unique and tastes like brown sugar or honey. It's not "sweet" but it's a sweetness with umami... It's definitely delicious but it's hard to describe 😅I hope you all try it!
Hi Jay & Nobby😄It really is one to drink now😄It is a beautiful Nagano style sake and delicious! It's really strangely sweet and I would love to see it judged by J&N standards.
♪♪♪♪♪
This is my first brand ☺️
I tasted it and (the wife) thought it was delicious, so I bought it!
It's fruity, easy to drink, and has a nice acidity like some seasonal sake from certain sake breweries!
It's fruity, easy to drink, and has a nice acidity, somewhat like a certain sake brewery's seasonal sake! ←I know it's not what you're comparing 💦.
But I'm sure it's good 😁.
I guess it's all subjective or a matter of taste 👍

Hi Jay & Nobby😊.
I saw it for the first time at the liquor store myself😅.
It's great that you were able to sample it (your wife 🤣)!
I now have a benchmark to choose from: ✌️
If you see it anywhere, please give it a try!
Special Junmai🍶Hitogokochi🌾.
At room temperature. Gentle. Rich in umami. But not too strong. Match it with chrysanthemum. The spicy bitterness comes out and it becomes complex. Serime with pork and maitake egg. Dry and crispy. The sweetness of the strawberries only increases the sweetness. ⤴︎ The impression changes with the accompaniment.
Purchased at Bessho Onsen and Shueiya Bessho store on a trip to Ueda.
Since I had the chance, I compared the three.
The green one is the freshest and most refreshing.
As the temperature rises, it has a bitterness that is typical of Yamanishiki.
Unfamiliar brand on the list of alcoholic beverages
Tsukiyoshi's?
Never heard of it.
I've never had it.
It's Nagano sake!
This is also a chance, a challenge!
Wow, what's this?
Fruity and sweet, just the way I like it!
I think it's similar to Hanahayo!
When we were leaving, the owner's son came out and told me that he thought it would be my favorite and that he had put it in the bottle!
What a pleasure!
It was the most shocking encounter of the day 🎯!
Drooling bonito appeared as the entrée!
Sake goes down well 🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶!

Red🟥
Hitokokochi dry and all that!
That just sounds delicious 😆.
The taste is rich but the sweetness is gentle,
The second half of the wine is very dry and crisp ✨.
It's a dry but sweet and refreshing sake 😋.
Black Label Extra Move 🟥.
It has a richer flavor than the standard and is very drinkable 🍺.
Good evening, Choroki-san!
It was sweet and refreshing rather than dry 😋.
I bought it at a liquor store in Gifu! I read on the brewery's website that they have one in Nagoya👍.
We drank it at Ueda Bessho Onsen in Shinshu, and it was the only pure rice among the three varieties, a delicious balance of flavor and acidity brewed by a female brewery master.
