Today's dish
Spaghetti with cod roe cream✨
I always think it's delicious, but I don't know how to convey the taste, so I tried the drink comparison set to see if I could properly tell the difference in taste 🫣!
Yup...
I can tell the difference in taste!
But this is mellow (junmai daiginjo) or,
Fruity (junmai ginjo)
Mellow (special junmai sake),
Elegant (junmai sake)
This is the first time I understood 😳✨
I hope to do some sake reviews soon 😮💨
For now.
I'll start by giving it a score to see if I like it or not!
Personal Favorite ★★★★⭐︎⭐︎
Good morning, HINANOHA 😃.
A set of drinking! You are moving up the sake staircase nicely👍.
Last night Nobby came out with cod roe cream spaghetti, "I saw the sake wa and thought you might like to eat it 😆" 🤗.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, I tried the sake tasting on day ⭐️2 and I missed it all spectacularly😇.
....
I wonder if you are looking at it too, Nobby! Or is it just coincidence?
You have a lovely wife 😊✨
Today is the first takoyaki party of the new year!
After all, takoyaki is the best at home!
Here is the accompaniment for the takoyaki party!
Kitaya Premium from Kitaya
It was a gift from my brother, and his girlfriend picked it out for me!
I imagined it would be dry because it's from Kyushu, so I immediately started to eat it!
The first day
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, you can feel a fluffy, beautiful sweetness mixed with spiciness and bitterness.
The mouthfeel is very clean and easy to drink.
It has a slightly fruity flavor, and the overall taste is gentle and medium. It is a very tasty sake that goes well with food.
Day 2
The gradation of sweetness and bitterness, followed by a gentle spicy aftertaste that spreads in the mouth, is delicious today as well!
This time, it is cooled down to a crisp and has a sharpness.
Warmed to lukewarm.
This time, we also served it warmed.
The sweetness increases in the mouth, and the aroma on the nose is also very nice.
The lingering aftertaste is longer in cold sake, which I prefer.
It was a gift, but it was so delicious that I can't stop traveling for sake because of encounters like this!
Hi ma-ki-😃!
Oh! Takoyaki😍That's not a familiar dish in our house ‼️ I guess it's normal in Kansai 😆Kitaya in Nakaguchi seems like a good fit there. Let's try takoyaki & sake at our house too ❣️
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Looks like a fun taco party: ❣️
I've been thinking of trying it sometime, but haven't been able to make it happen. 🐙.
Your impressions after a few days of opening the bottle and drinking it in different ways are helpful 😃.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛Takopa is nice 🐙I'm in charge of grilling, so I can't drink sake slowly💦I've met people I've only met through gifts. ☺️ I want to try heating sake lukewarm 🍶.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃.
Sake as a souvenir 🍶, your brother knows what he's talking about (lol).
Sake is special in a way, and that's why it's a bottomless swamp 😁.
Thanks for your comment Ane!
Sorry I have no sense of laughter at all, I usually got it in its most delicious state😅.
Yes, it looks gorgeous and gorgeous ⤴️
It was really delicious😊.
Thank you for your comment, Minosuke.
I really appreciate you saying it's helpful even though it's always the same feedback ✨.
But it really was delicious😊.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
I don't know about you, but my wife and I have always loved soy sauce flavored takoyaki, and we do it a few times a year 🎵.
It's fun and delicious✨
Please give it a try 😊
Thanks for your comment shinsaku3.
We make the dough the day before, let it sit overnight in the fridge, and basically just bake it the day of 🐙.
Please come back when you have time 🎵.
I'm afraid my feedback is always the same 😅.
Thanks for your comment Nao888.
It sure can be hectic when you are in charge of baking 😅.
There are some surprising encounters because you don't choose them yourself ⤴️
This time it was a really delicious encounter😊.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho!
It's very touching to get a souvenir of sake from my brother✨.
Yes, it is. Seeing it at Sake-no-Wa or encountering a new sake souvenir or gift is really special and swamping 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san ^_^
When I heard "premium", I assumed it was jun-dai, but it's 60% special jun 😊.
I love the taste of lukewarm sake ✨.
I want to have a takopar 😁.
Thanks for your comment Manta.
Yes, you are right. I thought it was Jun Dai 😁.
It was recommended to drink cold sake, but since it was special junmai, I tried it: ⤴️
I recommend it because it's tasty and fun 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki.
We had an amateur takopa once last year and it was fun 🤗I would love to try the soy sauce flavored takoyaki🐙 that ma-ki's family prepares from the day before 😋.
Your brother's girlfriend! Nice taste👍
Thanks for the comment Jay & Nobby.
Octopus pars are fun and delicious 🎵I have a seizure a few times a year 😋.
I really enjoyed the drinks this time around and hats off to your girlfriend for her taste 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki - ☀️
We regularly have tacopa 🐙 and 😋 too.
We add cheese, kimchi, and at New Year's, rice cakes (lol).
Mochi cheese🧀 is delicious ❣️
Thank you for your comment, T.KISO.
I see that you are regularly making octopus parcels: ⤴️
It's fun to change up the ingredients and change the taste 🎵.
I'm sure I'll be posting more often this year 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
I think it's a great idea to start the New Year with "Kitaya," which sounds like a good omen 😁.
［I always thought of takoyaki as a beer dish, but with soy sauce batter, you can have sake as well ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Jive.
I guess it's like baking a round cake and having a happy family 😁✨.
I don't really drink beer anymore, so I almost exclusively drink sake, but I really enjoyed my first Kitaya 😊.
Hi, ma-ki🐦.
I like the octopus parsley! A complete change of taste from the New Year's stuff 😆.
I've never even seen the brand, but nice sake in a box! I like that it goes well with takoyaki 😊.
Thanks for your comment, Pon.
I have an irresistible craving for octopus parcels a few times a year 🎵.
It's fun and delicious and a staple in our house✨
And our first time here was also a great and fulfilling drinking time 😊.
Yame City.
It is easy to drink with just the right amount of spiciness.
It has a pleasant aroma that passes through your nose when you drink it, and it has a nice sharpness after drinking, making it an easy sake to pair with meals.
I was surprised that the aftertaste lingers so long.
I guess it's because it's 33% polished that it tastes so clean and free of any miscellaneous flavors.
Well, it's delicious, but...
I get bored. It's easy to drink, but I get bored.
When I don't have time to go to the liquor store, I often buy Kitaya at the supermarket and drink it.
This one was purchased at a liquor store, which apparently had a new sake festival in November and sold a limited amount.
The taste is fresh and fruity, with a hint of rice flavor. It is more of a classic type of sake.
