3.5/5.0
A memorable drink that I couldn't finish at a pub in Kyoto 🍶.
The second bottle today, I really feel the roughness.
I think it is suitable for hot sake.
Last weekend was a three-day weekend with a lot of substance😅.
My daughter and he arrived at Utsunomiya station in the early afternoon on Saturday 🇺🇸 and we immediately went to our favorite restaurant, Karan, to eat gyoza🥟, followed by his request to eat Tochiotome🍓 ice cream😋, which made 80% of all the Tochigi food 😆.
After that, we all stopped by the supermarket and headed home!
The party consisted of Nooby's deep-fried fish paste with salt! And in the center of the table, my daughter led the party with 🐙takoyaki 🌕 + more 😋!
The sake was a Kyoto souvenir he brought me! I'm Shensei, who decided to drink something he's never had before🤗‼️
I'm going to make love to you!
I love the sweet and fruity taste 😊He and my daughter said it was good but they only had one cup 😅We both enjoyed it 😙.
His English was interpreted by my daughter for Nobby😄Noby also showed off the words he knew and his gorgeous body language🤗He said his English had improved 3 times 🥹.
Then we drank highballs 🥃and had a nice conversation 😊and for some reason we decided to play Blackbeard's Crisis and instead we flew into the air with a cute beanstalk 😆 which flew 3 times as far as Blackbeard and we laughed so hard 🤣.
From there, we moved on to UNO! The time went by and before we knew it, it was 2am🥱.
I guess I was overdoing it from the first day. ⁉️

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛You look like you're having a great time ✨It's okay to skip too much at times like this 😆He may have meant "precious" in his sacred choice 🤔But he looks like he's having a lot of fun 🥰.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby😄!
It's the start of a busy holiday weekend 😆Tacopa and Nobby's fried chicken 😍I wish I could have been there 🤣UNO is a lot of fun with different rules in Japan and the US 🙌There was so much going on from day one, I wonder what will happen the next day: ❣️
Jay & Nobby, you had another happy weekend⁉💕💕!
Gyoza & Tochiotoko are a true Tochigi love 🥰.
I'm sure the sacredness must have been delicious ☝.
I'm relieved that I didn't need a Tochigi dialect interpreter 🤣.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
It's great that you are suddenly playing a lot of games 🤣.
Our eldest son got married last year and our daughter the year before, so maybe it's about time for the J&N family too 🥂.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ☺️
I was looking forward to your diary over the weekend 🥰.
I can imagine how interesting it was just to read 🤣You had a great time 🥰 Looking forward to the next day!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
The long awaited party was so much fun 🎵
Looks like a lot of fun 😁✨
He's so cool to bring you a souvenir too ✨.
It was a good consecration 😋.
I can't wait to see what happens next 😊.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
I can feel the fun atmosphere😊
Tacopa is a hit with people from other countries 🤩 and you can eat it while making your own 🤩.
Sacred... the label and the name are divine 🤣.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Looks like you had a fun holiday weekend... and I'm anxious to see the rest 🤔.
Also, I can easily see Nobby's brilliant 💃body language 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
That's a very attentive drink from him, that's intoxicating.
I'm sure the hospitality and welcoming spirit of the two of you, that you skipped too much, must have been felt by both of you: ☺️
80% with dumplings and tochiotoko... no, no, no, there's more 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
Your boyfriend doesn't seem to be much of a sake drinker, but he has great sake taste😇.
From now on, every chance you two get, let's tell him about sake and switch from scotch to sake 🤣.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
I think he was very happy to be welcomed so warmly. It would be even better if he took this as an opportunity to get into sake 🤭.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I was wondering if it was a gift from your daughter couple since it is a "sacred" sake from Kyoto 😁 Did it come with ajari rice cake? I'm sure your boyfriend is having a great time in Tochigi 😁.
Your boyfriend seems to be enjoying Tochigi 🥰.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Love of family & love of Tochigi ❤️ I can feel the joy of a very loving and fun party 😊.
Looking forward to the rest of the story😃.
Good evening, Nao888😃.
I know, right? I'll have to skip this one to keep up 😅I think I got it from a sake shop in Kyoto where I asked about a bottle that would be popular with sake lovers 👍I guess it's good to have J&N as a partner so I don't have to worry about what to bring back 😆.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
It was a delicious and fun dining experience 🤗We enjoyed playing UNO, changing the rules along the way 😊.
A lot happened after this 😅I'm currently writing three more 👋.
Good evening, Kano 😃.
Yes, it was a really fun party 😄! It was a really fun party 😄.
The sacred is perfect for the pure and innocent 🥹 😉 More to come after this 🤗.
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
Yes, ‼️ was a lot more fun than I expected it to be 😊I think I know J&N really well and the only souvenir from Kyoto was sake 😆.
Good evening, N.E. 😃.
We were happy 🥹 but we were old and up late 😆 a bit tired from the holidays 😪.
We were not born in Tochigi 😅we might need an interpreter of the real Tochigi dialect for us too 😅...
Good evening, Jun 😃.
We both put all our energy into writing weekend diaries 🤗I can't believe you can imagine just by reading 🥹I'm a writer 🥹I hope you enjoy the rest of ‼️~👋
Good evening, mi-ki 😃.
I was really looking forward to it and I'm glad you had a good time 🤗Jinsei-san ‼️ I remember looking back and seeing ma-ki-san drinking at the New Year's party👍.
Good evening, Koizo 😃.
Yes, I agree! Japanese food you can experience is happy to drink and eat while enjoying 🤗The atmosphere is divine, but the taste is easy to drink and delicious 😋.
Good evening Aladdin 😃.
It was a pleasure to drink from him 🥹I hope our hospitality was appreciated ☺️
We also wanted to introduce you to the city of jazz and cocktails, but we didn't know much about it ourselves 😆.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Yes, I know, I'm not sure about the taste of the sake! I don't really like the taste of sake😅that's the liquor store's sense 👍.
I hope I will be able to enjoy it a little more often when I come to live in Japan 🤗.
Jay & Nobby, it was a very nice moment 😄I can tell enough from this review😄I can't wait to read more! And the sacred Junmai Daiginjyo ice-warm enclosure! Just by the sound of it, it's a super high class product! I can't drink it very often!
Jay & Nobby❣️Noby's salt fried chicken 😋 is the best after Tochigi rice‼️I'm looking forward to more sequels❤️He🇺🇸 will be immersed in the swamp of sake one day too😍Tochigi and sake are both deep👍I hope you enjoy it‼️
Hi Sashi 😃.
I'm happy if you can tell from my post that I'm having fun 🤗
Kochira no Shinsan! I googled it and it's certainly not something we'd buy for ourselves 😉.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄!
That was a very fun party 😆 ♫
I'm sure the late night in Utsunomiya was filled with fun and laughter from Jay's family 🤣.
I'm so glad he gave you a souvenir sake 🍶 ☺️
It's delicious 😘.
Hi, Tsubu-chan 😃.
There was definitely a lot of strange noises in the quiet residential area 🏘️ 😆 I didn't expect you to buy sake 🍶 as a Kyoto souvenir, I was so happy 🥹.
I received this sake as a gift from Kyoto🍶.
It is a cup of sake with a subtle fragrance, a gentle and refreshing taste, and just the right amount of sweetness that can be paired with any dish.
I served it with Mino as a side dish.
New Year's party with my parents today
We were supposed to have a year-end party, but I caught the flu, so it was switched to a New Year's party.
My father has been on a strict diet since last year, but today was his customary rude party, so he drank a lot of beer, shochu, and whisky at the second bar, and was very drunk at the end.
My mother talked and drank a lot and enjoyed herself very much.
The party lasted over 6 hours!
The only drink we had at the New Year's party was this one, which we had at the first restaurant!
It's been a while since I've had this sake!
Yamamoto Honke's Junmai Daiginjo
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. It has a sweet, fruity aroma.
In the mouth, there is a fruity sweetness and a slight bitterness.
Since the sweetness comes first, the bitterness does not leave much of an impression.
It has been a long time since I have tasted this, but the sweetness is bliss!
I didn't take notes, so this is a review from memory, but it was a delicious fruity-sweet sake!
After that, my father and I had shochu, and the second time we had whisky, and it was an enjoyable drinking time!
After returning home, I took a bath and felt refreshed. I'm going to drink sake at home now because I didn't drink enough!
Good morning ma-ki-, I could see how you all enjoyed the New Year's party with your parents 🥰I remember Kyoto's sacredness being delicious too 😆 I'm sure it will be a great start to the New Year with a smile on your face ✨.
Hi ma-ki, I'm glad you had a good day at the New Year's party with your parents: ☀️
I'm glad you had a good day at the New Year's party with your parents. ☺️ I haven't had this one yet even though I'm in Kyoto, but I'll look for it - I hope you have the flu too, ma-ki - take care of yourself!
Hi ma-ki-!
Sounds like both your parents had a great time 😁.
I think your father must have been very happy to welcome the New Year ✨.
But I see you drink rather high alcohol content 😲.
Hi ma-ki-😃
It was a wonderful New Year's party with your parents 😊The stories of your people were the psicest entree and I hope you all had fun and good drinks 🤗.
Enjoy the rest of the party as you couldn't drink 😋.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
It was a time of great joy for me to see my parents smiling happily ✨.
I see you have had a sacred drink 🎵.
It was a really good drink and very satisfying 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Ofuji.
And thank you for your kindness🍀.
It was really a fun time and it was over 6 hours in no time 🎵
This is a sweet sake, but if you are interested, please give it a try 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Jive.
My parents laughed a lot, talked a lot, drank a lot, and seemed to have a lot of fun ✨.
That's right. My parents like to drink on the rocks, so this is what we do when we drink together 😊.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments.
Yes, it's always good to hear the old stories of the two of you and talk about ah-ha 😁✨.
Yesterday we got a little deep in the bottle, but it was a fun drinking time 😊.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀Hello ☀Long New Year's party with your parents sounds lovely ✨️ I don't often reach for Kyoto sake, but I'll take note of Kamizo and Sacred 🍶 shochu and even whisky 😳.
Thank you Nao888 for your comment.
It turned out to be a very quick long meeting, but we had a great time 🎵.
I was a little deep drinking yesterday😅.
Kamizo, if you have a sacred opportunity, please try it 😊.
Hi ma-ki, 😃I'm so happy to see your post about the New Year party with your parents 😊Thanks for the food 😆I'm sure you had a lot to talk about in over 6 hours... I have to be filial to my parents too... 😅
Thank you Manta for your comments.
It was another fun night 🎵.
My father was looking forward to it even though he was concerned about the restrictions and drank a lot 😁.
It's been a long time since I've had a sacred meal, but it was sweet and delicious 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Shin-kun.
I'm glad you were able to be so relieved 🎵.
Yes, it was! It was like I just realized it was over 6 hours in the blink of an eye 😁.
I look forward to your roundtable post with the parents 😊.
Mr. ma-ki-.
Good evening...
It's fun and happy that your parents are doing well and you can drink together 😍Drinking at home after 6 hours of drinking and not drinking enough... you are a drunkard 🤣.
Thank you, Koizo, for your help here as well.
As you said, I feel so lucky to have my parents here ✨.
I'm usually weak, but on this day I only had one glass of sake, so maybe that's why I felt like drinking it at home 😁.
Alcohol content 14-15
Rice polishing ratio 60
A cup every once in a while, this time a cup left behind by my father. I used to buy it when I saw it at the Shinkansen kiosk. The aroma is sweet with a hint of zing. The mouthfeel is that of Fushimi's female sake. The water is crystal clear and the taste is sweet and almost ripe. It tastes sweet, like a ripe fruit, like a prune. The sharpness is a little weak. However, I think it is enough for a cup of sake. Thank you again for the sake tonight.
Opened January 9, 2025
a gift from a friend
I knew it, Junmai Daiginjo🍶.
Mellow, mellow, full-bodied✨
I don't need any more snacks ❗️
I can just savor this all the time ^ ^.
I like to drink it to treat myself when I achieved something 🍷.
Hi Kazuki 🐦.
That looks so delicious 😻I have not been drinking Kyoto's sake because I can drink it anytime 💦I have to remind myself to drink good sake properly 😅.
Thanks for your comments, Pon-chan 😊.
I didn't buy any when I went to Kyoto either, so I asked someone else to buy some for me this time 😅.
But there are so many attractive sake all over the country, it's hard to choose the right one.
