The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (11)
Aizu Homare booth.
The person who helped us was the brewer who helped us at Yodobashi.
◉Karahashi Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki
Personally, this Karahashi is my number one choice for Aizu Homare. It is a bit gassy even when fired, with a deep, full-bodied flavor and a sweet aroma of ripe fruit on the nose. I forgot to take a picture...
Aizu Homare Dry Junmai Sake Aizu Nama Ippon
Aizu Homare is a blend of rice with a milling ratio of 70% and an alcohol content of 14%, made in large tanks and priced at less than 1,000 yen for a pure rice sake. The soft water makes it soft on the palate, and it is clear with umami and acidity. It is not too spicy with a hint of sweetness. It can be served at room temperature or warmed. This is delicious.
◉Aizu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Shizukutori Yume no Kou
This is a high quality sake with a good balance of umami and acidity.
Daiginjo
A 39% polished Yamada-Nishiki. This is another beautiful, umami, well balanced sake.
The Karahashi Yamadanishiki was sold out when I arrived at the end of the day.
Good evening, bouken. 🌜️ I was able to drink the entire series of Kitakata Terroir at Yodobashi, so I didn't go through with it this time 😅The EPISODE II I drank before was unfiltered raw sake 😊.

Okinawa ③ (final)
Laughter-filled trip to Okinawa with 7 high school classmates🤣.
The third day? We went from Bise Fukugi Namiki to Janguria via Walumi Ohashi Bridge 🦕.
I have a lot to say about Jangria🦖, but I'll spare you here.
At night, back in Naha, we had dinner on Kokusai-dori.
On this day, there was a member who said, "I've eaten a lot of pork, but not beef! So we went to a restaurant where we could eat beef!
Not to be outdone, a little sake 🍶.
Aizu Homare
Slightly soft and refreshing!
Surprisingly gentle
I think it's light, but it has a touch of sweetness, surprisingly nice 😋.
I ate a lot of things including Yamashiro beef steak. But Okinawan fish is delicious, but I can't remember the name 🤯.
Fourth day? On the last day, we went around Makishi Market - Nakagusuku Castle - Kaho Banta - American Village and went back home from the airport.
Okinawa in November is very comfortable with good weather (weather was good this time).
We drank, ate, and played for 3 nights and 3 days, drinking beer 🍺 everyday from noon (and of course 🤣 at night) Thanks to everyone 🥳 and thanks to those who read what seemed like a travelogue 🙇.
I'm going to change my mind and focus on work from today 😠.
Good morning, Takashi!
I could feel your enthusiasm just by looking at your trip 🎵.
I'm curious about the drama 🤣 that happened in Jangria as well as the drinks 😁✨✨✨. I'm curious about 😁✨✨
Good morning, ma-ki-San 😊.
I really enjoyed my time in Okinawa 🥰.
Jangria is not something I would recommend without giving it away, but it is fun and unfortunately I can't express it in the number of words here 😂.
Jay & Nobby, good evening😊.
Jangria, just a few words. The tree top trekking (kids allowed) was the scariest thing I've ever done than the main Dinosaur Safari and the ATV advanced course 😱😭.
It was a good experience 🤣.
Easy to drink but slightly sweet, it went well with sukiyaki. I like sake, not just this sake, because it has a pleasant aftertaste that gradually follows the flavor as you drink it. It was delicious!
