Today I went out to dinner with my nephew, his girlfriend, and my wife!
The two young guys are so cute, no matter what they're doing.
After the fun party, I'm going home for a relaxing rehabilitation.
This will be my first time at the brewery again!
Ichidai Yayama by Sakrao Brewery and Distillery!
This time it was Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-Genshu!
Let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it feels light and smooth.
Slight sweetness, then a firm bitterness.
The lingering bitter taste is also strong.
The bitterness is a little strong, but it does not interfere with the meal, so it is very easy to drink.
The more you drink it, the more the flavor comes through and it is delicious!
My wife says it is sweet and easy to drink, so I have the impression that there is still a little discomfort in her sense of taste due to the aftereffects of the Corona.
Day 5
When I put it in my mouth, I feel a fruity, fluffy sweetness.
After that, there is a lingering bitter and pungent taste.
After it finishes, the fresh sweetness lingers in the mouth, and the balance is good.
As you drink more, the beautiful sweetness is very refreshing and tasty.
I have the impression that the taste is changing a lot, and drinking it has become more and more enjoyable!
Hi ma-ki-😃
I see your nephew is still young ❗️ I feel empowered when I am with young people👍I am relieved that your taste buds are slowly coming back and you are enjoying your drinks ☺️ This bottle is simple and cool 😍.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
Yes, I'm so relieved and cheered up by the two cuties no matter what they're doing ✨.
My taste buds are clearly less uncomfortable than the other day, which is a relief 😋.
Black bottles are cool 😊.
Hi ma-ki-, this is another brand from an unknown brewery 😳and I'm glad your taste buds are back ✨️ I'm getting rave reviews from the pollen 😅I'm not sure if I can properly enjoy spring sake 🤤.
Thanks for your comment Nao888!
I also happened to see you at the liquor store and brought you here: ⤴️
I think my taste buds are getting something back 😋.
I'm also sick with the pollen as well 😅 I'm so uncomfortable with phlegm tangled up in it.
I want to enjoy spring sake 😥.
I bought this bottle on a hunch that it would be delicious, when I spotted it at a liquor store.
The manufacturer seems to have changed its name to "Sakurao Brewery and Distillery" now.
The aroma is fruity, like pineapple.
The palate is smooth and smooth, with a slight sweetness, followed by a light spread of rice flavor and a gentle bitterness on the back end.
It is very easy to drink, with a lingering aftertaste that leaves a strong aftertaste deep in the nose.
Overall, this sake is very gentle and easy to drink.
We had it with mugwort dumplings, which complemented the sweetness very nicely.
Today, my eldest son and his wife, who got married last year, and I had a little late lunch in Yokohama.
My daughter and her husband had planned to meet and have dinner when they came from Izumo, but my eldest son was hospitalized with swollen tonsils, and I wanted to celebrate with them, but only his wife joined 🤣.
They also wanted to give me some souvenirs from their New Year's holiday trip to his wife's parents' home in Kyushu, so today was the day since the eldest son was discharged from the hospital last week!
We went to the Yokohama branch of a boned chicken restaurant in Kagawa Prefecture, where my wife's parents live.
I had two draft beers to go with the spicy chicken, but I also wanted to try some Japanese sake, so I went to "Misen".
It was so refreshing...
A little dry, not too light?
A little sweetness and acidity, but not too much.
This is the kind of taste that goes well with spicy food.
It was fun and tasty today, but...,
But I still ate too much 😂.
Purchased at Saijo Sake Festival last month at Sake Merchant Yamada
Chose the Hiroshima limited distribution of Hatsuichiyo Yayama!
I recently learned that it is made by the same company as Sakurao, famous for its whiskey and gin 😂.
Sparkling sake is often the focus of attention in dancyu and on the internet.
Cold sake
The aroma is subdued.
Calm sweetness and gentle rice flavor
Beautiful yet powerful due to its high alcohol content.
If you drink it with carbonated water, the peculiarity is softened and it becomes easy to drink. 🙆♂️
Dense, sweet aroma.
Floral, slightly apricot and magic ink flavors on the palate.
The sweet flavor is then spicy on the tongue for a moment.
Lightly sharp acidity. Bitterness.
Firm umami, dry taste.
Good sharpness in the mouth.
A sharp and spicy sake.
