And last but not least, Niigata, a rice-producing region... 😆
First time to drink this brand!
The name "Yobitomo" is also a good name to call friends 🤗.
This sake also has a good overall balance and a taste like a deeper version of Mimuro Sugi, which is also on my favorite list.
I realized later that this sake is made by Asahi Shuzo, the same company that makes Kubota.

That was last Saturday😅.
On this day, after lunch, we were basking in the afterglow of Yamamoto's great pitch and Erdman's HR⚾️ 😌 We had to walk, too! We walked 💦 and then went to the liquor store to restock our lonely fridge🚙.
While browsing the fridge, a bottle with an atmospheric appearance that made us think 🧐 that it might be a gem 🧐 caught our eye 😳 It was one we hadn't seen or heard of at all 😅 but we didn't hesitate to get it 👍.
But cooking dinner is also a hassle 😩, so I went to Asanoya for such a time! As long as I have that delicious sashimi, I don't need anything else 😌.
When I entered the store, they didn't have any 🥲 but they had some delicious looking bonito and squid😍 It was a bit expensive 😅 but I figured if it was for dinner, I'd buy two! I bought two...
We went home and started the party 🥳.
We're going to have a dinner at Yobitomo with a great atmosphere 🤗.
It's a limited edition sake from the Kubota brewery, until now only Junmai Daiginjo has been available, but this year Junmai Ginjo is now available year-round at a reasonable price 🧐.
I'll make love to you
I love to drink it 😋 I thought it would be a good food sake, so I paired it with the beautiful bonito of the day....
I can't help but smile without words 😊When I open my mouth, a chorus of "unma~ai🤩" echoes throughout the house🎶This calls for a friend.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Sake made from Niigata's Gohyakumangoku, looks really sharp and would go well with sashimi 🤤I love sake that brings friends together ✨.

Mr. Jay & Mr. Nobby
Eh! Asahi Shuzo sake? and
I was told about it for the first time!
I didn't know they serve this kind 🤔.
I would like to drink it if I had the chance!
Jay & Nobby Good evening😊I saw this for the first time at Yobitomo! It is a limited edition sake from the Kubota brewery and is 100% Ihyakumangoku! It must be delicious 😄It's great with bonito, isn't it?
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I see that there is a limited edition sake from the brewery that makes Kubota: ⤴️
It sounds like a perfect sake to pair with seafood 😋!
That would be a big chorus 😁✨
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀I didn't know that Kubota has a brewery limited sake 😄. But I wonder why 😳 it's displayed in Tochigi liquor stores even though it's a warehouse-only sake... 💦I wonder if the Tochigi love ❤️ is working 🤣.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ✨Oh, that looks delicious bonito and squid 😆 That's all that matters when you have something to go with your drink! I know exactly what you mean: ☝️
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀!
As you commented before, this was so good that it's too bad it's limited 😋.
I paired it with octopus sashimi, but bonito and squid are also good: ☺️
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
Calling friends...very nice name 😇
Actually Asahi Shuzo is famous for Kubota, but I haven't had it yet because I have a strong image of classic dry 😅.
When I'm a little older... 🤣
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I've never seen this sake before and I thought it was from the Kubota brewery 😳I've had Senju before and it was the classic refreshing type so I'm curious if it's in the same vein 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃The lettering on the label gives away that it's a good sake, nice handwriting 👌The classic type would definitely go well with sashimi, I can tell it's delicious from the smile on your face 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. ☀️
I saw Yobitomo at a liquor store the other day and was very curious about it. ‼️ It looks delicious 😆 I bet you would love it with bonito... 🤤I would love to try it🎶.
Hi Jay & Nobby, good evening 👀⭐️It's the first time I've met you 👀‼️My friend is from Niigata and every year he brings me sake from Asahi Sake Brewery, maybe I should beg him next time 😁Only for Yobitomo 🤭...
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛I didn't know that Kubota brewery has such a brand 👀I wonder why the brewery has a limited edition in Tochigi 😅I long to be able to drink classic sake as well 🍶! I long to be able to drink classic sakes with a "Yummmmmm!
Good evening, shogot1978 😃.
I just happened to meet you by chance and after I took you to the store, I googled the information 🤗It seems that only limited stores carry this product, but I hope you can find it!
Good evening, Sashiu 😃.
I bought it just for the atmosphere, but it was a good pull with Kubota's Asahi's limited edition sake ‼️ It was perfect with the delicious bonito👍
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
I brought you a limited edition sake without knowing anything about it! My intuition was brilliant ‼️ ume~🐏's circle 🎶 was awesome 😙.
Good evening, Hinahana Mama 😃!
I heard that this is a limited edition sake that can only be handled by sake dealers who participate in a study group of Kubota distributors called "Yobiyukai"! Thanks to Megada Sake Shop in Utsunomiya for their diligent study 🥹.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ❗️
I was wondering about this drink: ❗️
I went to a liquor store the other day and they had it.
I didn't go through with it 😥.
If it's classic and has a nice sharpness
If it's classic and has a nice sharpness, it's definitely a sashimi type 👍.
Good morning, Chirsta 😃.
I really hope you can drink it widely! I hope everyone will drink it widely 🤗 Yes, it is a good food wine that goes well with the entrée 😋.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
Yes, I was attracted by the font too! I was also attracted to this character style 🤗I took you there to enjoy the afterglow 😌 "delicious" was the word that came out a beat later 😚.
Good morning Nao888😃!
There was no pop or anything, but it stood out in the fridge😍thanks to the liquor store in Tochigi 🥹J&N has a theory that everything is good 😅.
Good morning, Minosuke 😃.
Yes, it is! It's a lifesaver 🥹especially the ikatoro maki, which is chopped toro wrapped with squid 🤩It's a fish shop that has even won TV Champion ‼️ It definitely makes a great drink 🤗.
Good morning, Maruwa 😃.
Quintessence! You've got the point 😊.
It was cold last weekend and of course I'm having heated sake 🍶 after this! I'll give it to you next time🤗.
Mr. Jay & Ms. Nobby
Hello â
I'm attracted by the label on this one 🤩I see it's Asahi Shuzo of Kubota! I think I'm going to get the Asahi Brewery confused with Asahi Shuzo or Asahi Shuzo 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
[It's the time of year for the first bonito 🥰.
I hear the price is skyrocketing this year due to poor catches😅.
I'm sure you'll have a lot of friends over if you start having such a delicious dinner 🤣.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Yes, it was the first bonito from Chiba! It was the first bonito from Chiba 🤗It was expensive but 🥲the taste won out 😋I really wish I had a platter of this for everyone😍.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃
I didn't know Kubota also serves this kind of sake! I too have recently become addicted to 😅katsuo sashimi with spicy soy sauce!
It would go perfectly with Niigata's light sake 😍.
Yobitomo really good name👌
Wakamatsuya
Junmai Ginjo version of Kubota's Daiginjo Yobitomo
I bought it because it seems to be a new release.
It has a mild aroma and a banana-like sweetness.
It has little sweetness, a dry taste, and a sharp aftertaste.
It is a delicious sake that goes well with meals.
We enjoyed it with grilled herring, stir-fried pork and onions, and soup.
It is an easy-drinking sake that tastes great with fish.
It has few peculiarities and is easy to drink.
Hi Kaupon 😃
We saw this one at the liquor store too, and on a hunch without any prior information, we took it to you and had it over the weekend 😋.
It was delicious with sashimi !
Reminder
Asahi Shuzo Yobitomo Junmai Daiginjo served cold.
At Kushihachi Honpo @ Hachioji.
Hachioji Hanamachi Japanese Sake Tour - 2nd/total of 6 cups.
Another bottle after a long time of drinking outside.
I like this type of wine, which is light on the palate and has an elegant flavor. The label is nice.
