Delicious! A little spicy?
Eating firefly squid brings out another nuance of umami and sweetness 🦑.
I've never tasted anything like it before...but it's delicious. It's like a candy or something...gummy feeling?
Stop by Yebisu Brewery Tokyo
I saw the original paintings by Hirohiko Araki at the exhibition "Evisu in Bijin-ga de toured Ebisu" (Beautiful Pictures of Evisu).

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
One day, Masamune hunters got a tip that Ofuku Masamune has a store at Yebisu Garden Place ❗️
Oh, it's really there. ‼️
Now, off we go🤠!
10 minutes of being carried from Ebisu station on a conveyor belt on a moving floor + 5 minutes of walking.
Arrival 😁.
Let's start with a high Masamune 🥸.
Junmai Daiginjo.
The umami comes first, followed by a slight bitterness 😙.
The watery throat creates a freshness 😚.
The ginjo aroma is very awesome and mellow 😚 ☺️
Nice Masamune👍
Looking around the display of Masamune in the store, it looks like we can still have a nice Masamune👍🙄.
Oh, there are 3 different kinds to compare 👀!
This is nice to have a variety to drink ☺️
The number one Masamune of the three ☝️ is...
Nigori (nigori sake).
The rice flavor and sweetness hits you 😳.
Even though it's sake, it still has the feeling of rice 🌾, and I feel like it could replace rice 🍚🙄.
The mellow feeling gives the drink a throatiness 🤨.
It has a calm atmosphere without the typical nigori shwashiness 🫧 that is typical of nigori 😶.
It was a very satisfying and robust nigori sake 🦴.
It's a great nigori masamune that some people seem to like better than junmai daiginjo 🤗.
Nice Masamune👍
Hi Hiro 😃
I didn't know Masamune was lurking in Ebisu GP which is far from the station😳
I've never heard of Ofuku Masamune either 🤔.
I had an image of Masamune type as clear sake so it's new to me that there is nigori Masamune and it's delicious!
Nice Masamune👍
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
The location is not so good, but the fact that you have a store with a single brand name means that you are doing your best 😄.
Nigori Masamune is nice Masamune👍 so please try it once 😆.
Nagaoka Sake-no-Jin, Part 3: This is also my first visit to Ofuku Sake Brewery. Fukumaso is a familiar name. It has a different taste, with a full-bodied rice flavor. You could say it has a mellow taste.
Nagaoka sake is very deep.
A limited edition given to us by the Nagaoka Sake no Jin installer.
The sweetness and acidity of the fasta, and the robust sake feel from there. It goes down easy.
Tasting!
It is sweet on the palate but has a spiciness that spreads afterwards!
I still have some resistance to dry sake, but strangely enough, I didn't find this sake unpleasant.
It was the best of the three drinks!
The golden ratio of acidity and rice flavor with fruitiness like pineapple and cranberry!
It was so easy to drink, I bought some to take home 🫠.
Classic sake taste 🎼.
It has a watery, refreshing mouthfeel, but after the umami spreads softly, the pungent taste of alcohol spreads strongly at the end.
I've been drinking too much modern sake, and this strain no longer seems dry to me...

The 4th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jin is here.
The feeling of rice. It can be taken as a bit of a tangy or umami taste. The aftertaste is quite dry. The pickled nanban and the spicy miso will advance the sake 😅The regulars make good use of a 100 yen store accessory case to hold the plastic cups. It was helpful ✨.

Three days into the season and with excruciating muscle pain, I took yesterday afternoon and today off from snowmobiling to do some housework. (You can't take a day off from housework.) Finally, I've got most of the work done, and I'm slowly heating sake, lukewarm.
The aroma is soft and banana-like. Of course it's delicious cold, but it's also very tasty lukewarm.
I served it with Kameda's Kaki-no-tane without peanuts.
The aroma spreading in your mouth is a treat, but it also warms you up as it passes down your throat and into your stomach, making heated sake a delicious winter treat.
It has snowed heavily this year, and has been snowing since the day before yesterday, and is expected to continue to do so this evening.
