I wanted to eat my favorite gyoza and drink delicious sake from Tochigi! I went to Utsunomiya!
I was able to drink at a corner bar of Shimadaya Sake Shop, which I had always wanted to visit 🥰.
This Houou Mita was gorgeous, fruity, and the sweetness of the rice was very delicious. ❤️

Today is New Year's Eve, and I'd like to write down some of the brands I've enjoyed since the summer.
Sashimi is also a hard brand to find locally, so I was excited to try it. ❗️
I decided to end the year with Houou Mita Betsuatsurai Supreme Sake.
I hadn't had it in a few years, but it was such an elegant sake.
The only regret is that it contains brewing alcohol, so you can feel the fluffy alcohol in the first sip.
Strangely enough, the feeling of brewed alcohol disappears after the second sip, so you can enjoy it peacefully after that.
Premium Houou Mita Hoshi for 22,000 yen
I was allowed to taste it at my favorite liquor store.
It was said to be a 5 year old 2020 Houou Mita Houou with Tominoko. It has a full, sweet, yet refreshing taste. It seems to go well with all kinds of dishes without interfering with them. It was a special experience on New Year's Eve!
Thanks for the introduction.
I'm glad to know what kind of alcohol it is, as it was too expensive and a bit out of my reach.
However, I still can't afford it.
New Year's Eve
Drank up a bottle of Senkori Snowball
The second bottle was "Houou Mita" black seal reprint limited edition sake
Elegant and gorgeous taste with a refreshing finish.
Deliciously dry!

New Year's Eve is here✨
We've had it in the cellar since the summer ✨
Highly carbonated from Olydance✨
Gorgeous aroma and sweet juicy taste
Delicious✨😋.
Then it finishes nicely with a bit of bitterness ^ ^.
This specs are easy on the wallet....
Thank you for drinking it at this time of the year to welcome the New Year...
I hope to be able to use your information at Sake-no-wa for my next sake, and I hope to find delicious sake next year.......
Have a happy new year everyone✨
At my sister's house.... Mida bought it and sent it to me.
Mita is also a definite choice. It's fruity and easy to drink, and when two people drink it together, a four-pack runs out quickly...
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 😍.
Good evening, ma-ki-😊.
My wife did a great job driving 🙏.
We had a light party last night, but tomorrow is relaxing, so how many bottles can we open today 😁.
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 😁.
Thank you, ma-ki-.
As for Houou Mita, I drank the one other than the wine cellar I buy every year for the first time in a while, and it was quite good!
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 😍.
Hi ma-ki-, 🌞Your relationship with the yakitori restaurant is great as always ✨️ I wish I could find such a favorite place to go 🍶It was a good year-end outing with lots of rare sake ☺️
