GW's Tochigi Trip Part ⑭
The last liquor store we visited at the end of our Tochigi trip was Mashidaya 🤩J&N told us ✨Noby even made sure we were open for business 🙇♀️✨I bought my first chuai 😀
The aroma is mild 🤔It's soft on the palate when you drink it 😊It has the slight piquancy of the original sake 😚👍✨I think the aftertaste is a bit dry? It's a delicious sake that you won't get tired of drinking 🥳.
Today I went to Maruten Fish Market in Fuji City to try their famous Kaisen Kakiage-don (Seafood Kakiage Don) 😋 After ordering, I was surprised to see how big the bowl was 👀😳😳😳The Kaisen Kakiage was delicious but I had to listen after eating about half of it😅I managed to finish it before I had to settle for a piece of the kakiage 😇In exchange for the severe heartburn I got back at my apartment, It was a delicious kakiage-don 🤣🤣🤣
Good evening Maechen 😃.
Congratulations on finally arriving at the last liquor store and your first Chuhai ㊗ 🎉The liquor store in Tochigi is nice 🤗.
And this shaved fried chicken tower is awesome😳this is going to make me suffer from heartburn for about 3 days😆.
Good evening, Maecin-san 🌛.
[I see you went to Mashidaya 🥰.
I'm curious about the lineup when I see Jay & Nobby's post, so I'd like to go there at least once ✨.
Looks like the kakiage is sticking to the rice 😲.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☀️ 😀 The last stop on our Tochigi trip to the liquor store was Mashidaya, a russo's store 😊It's a famous store and there were many people coming and going 😚 glad we could visit 🥳Kakiage in moderation 🤣🤣.
Good morning, Jive-san 😀 I know the name of Mashidaya even though I am from outside of the prefecture 😊There were many local and national sake 😍The specialty was the kakiage-don, but it seemed to be customary to share 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Drinking at home in the latter half of GW (1)
After dropping my son off at the station, I dropped by a liquor store and brought back this bottle! It's Miyamanishiki Chuai 🤗.
I'll make love to you
Not much of an aroma, I guess.
When I took a sip, Nobby felt the sweetness and Jay felt the bitterness 😗 but it felt kind of heavy🤔 so I drank only half and switched to the next bottle to change the taste ❗️
The next day we drank it in a pot and it had a deeper flavor 😊I know exactly what Maru meant when she drank it and said "I wish I could be someone like Chuai"!
By the way, the story of the second day in Nikko Kirifuri😊We saw the sun 🌅 at sunrise, refreshed ourselves in the morning bath, and went to the breakfast buffet! I had seafood bowl, mini ramen, curry, and ochazuke to top it all off, and ate so much I felt sick 🤭.
After that, we decided to go somewhere else! After that, we went to see the nearby Kirifuri Falls, and then drove 20 minutes to Osasa Ranch.
Those of you who live in the city will probably say, "Wow, this view is amazing!
We were so excited to see a pony 🫏 lying on its side and not moving that the tourists were saying, "Isn't it dead?
Enjoy sightseeing too? Love Tochigi 🥰!
Jay & Nobby, the taste changes again as the day goes on! That's another good thing about sake😊 And the second day of Nikko frostbite is also very enjoyable from the morning. You can't help but eat too much at the breakfast buffet...
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I've been wanting to drink Chuaia since you recommended it to me when I first started Sake-no-wa 😅.
I'm glad you had the breakfast buffet 😲.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The character for love has a great impact on me.
I'd get my hands on it if I saw it, although I don't get to see it very often 💦.
Even though it's a buffet, you eat a lot in the morning😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛The Chu-ai reminds me of Naoe Kanetsugu 😆 I love the deep taste of sake 🍶 and the love of Tochigi that also enjoys sightseeing 💕I'm proud of you ✨️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby, ⭐️
Is it the big letters of love, Tochigi love ❤️ or family love ❤️ or both 💕.
A nice weather ranch makes me want to go sightseeing in Tochigi 😆...while I'm drinking 🤣.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
1) So are they going to be one after the other now? I'm sure it will be more from now on 🤭.
Chuaai and Miyamanishiki, which are the standard at the prefectural meeting, had a deeper flavor⁉.
The view is familiar to those of you who are not here, but it is always a proof of the blessed environment: 👍️
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! 🙂
Oosasa Farm❗🤩When we go to Yunishigawa Onsen,
I often stop by. 😅Narrow prefectural road,
I'm thinking 😨 if a bear appears 🐻....
I'm thinking 😂.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I know breakfast buffet is too much 😆 but I forgive myself if it's ok in the morning 😙.
Chu-Ai, I think it's kind of like the two of you being in Sake no Wa 👍 fits you both 💕.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I never see Chuaai after it's emptied in front of me for outside drinking 😂 I'd love to have a tasteful drink 😌.
The pony crap was replayed in Nobby's voice 🤣 sorry if it's different 🙏.
Jay & Nobby. Hi 😊
From Chuai - a full and fulfilling day from the morning is awesome 🤩 and we are good friends 🩷.
I remember a pony bit me on the butt 🍑 at the World Farm in Osaka before 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Chuei is the perfect drink for the J&N family.
The casually outstretched left hand and the way you gently lean back 🥰 even in front of your son is full of 🥰👍
Good evening, Sashu 😃.
It's true, isn't it? Is that the same person as yesterday? It's funny how sometimes it's like that 😙.
The second day in Nikko Kirifuri started with a bomb 😅.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
I like the name 🥰...it sounds sweet but when I read that it has a deep flavor, I wanted to drink it 😊I know I eat a lot of breakfast on trips 🤣.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Chuai-san! It's a common sake in Tochigi 😅 on the contrary, I don't see Hanzo 🥲.
I ate too much breakfast and skipped lunch that day 🙂 😮💨
Good evening Nao888😃.
Maybe I'm a reincarnation of Naoe Kanetsugu 😆 I enjoyed Tochigi sake and sightseeing in Tochigi and went back to my home in Tochigi😅.
Good evening, N.E. 😃.
I'm planning to continue until 4 for now and I'm thinking of posting every day at ❗️ for the first time in a while 🤗.
Quintessence! You even know very well that I'm often at prefectural meetings 😳 On the other hand, I've always admired the neon 🌃 in the city 😆.
Good evening, Hanapin-san 😃.
It's the way to Oku-Nikko, isn't it? When we went there, the road was very quiet 🚙, thank goodness 🤗If you are a bear in the forest 🍶, you are welcome 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😃.
When we were running 🚙, we passed many motorcycles 🏍️ and we were talking about Manachie-san coming, weren't we? I was talking about it 🤗.
I think I visited when I was a kid maybe 40 years ago and ate Genghis Khan 😌.
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I know, it's a lot of food! Normally I would never eat that amount of food 😅I feel like it's a waste because it's right in front of me 😆.
In the sakewa world, we market the image of chuai = J&N 😉.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I'm sure you'll find us here! Look for us offline or out for a drink 🤗 and... quintessential Pon-chan, you've been watching ‼️ 😳 You're so right that you seem to know me 😆.
Good evening, Minosuke 😃.
I ate too much at the breakfast buffet and took a nap without lunch when I got home for a short sightseeing 🤣.
A full day... that night I only had beer 🍺😅.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Quintessential! Great observation 👍I actually asked my son to take a picture of me with an image of a good couple in the Showa era 🤣I'm a couple of idiots😅.
Good evening, Koizo 😃.
It's a really good name 🤗The taste was quite different on the second day 😳I was glad I didn't finish it on the first day due to the deep taste 😋.
This sake is said to be a collaboration with Mr. Mekada.
Aizan! Nigori sake!!!! I bought it without a second thought because it was a rare combo of the two.
It has a mild taste with the sweetness of rice.
It was a treat.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
It was made to order around March, I believe, ......, and I couldn't help but order it even though I was supposed to be there for another sake at the time, lol!
I've never had Miyamanishiki Chuai on the contrary, I'd like to drink it!
Chuai Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu, 3,465 yen
Today's snacks: Teppan Grilled Lamb, Butter Grilled Scallops with String, Chilled Tofu, Fukino Miso, Snap Peas, etc. ‼️
We opened a bottle of this one that we have had several times: ‼️
The aroma is stable ginjo aroma‼️ and the first attack is astringent sweet, not too sweet and not too bitter 🤣
I ran out of 2 gou in no time. m(_ _)m
It's my first personnel change in 7 years.
I'm exhausted every day with a job I don't understand and coworkers I have to take care of because it's so nice to meet them 😣.
Geez....
...I am healed by drinking and my family.
Well, I drank Chu-Ai in the middle of March when I didn't know I was going to be transferred.
The mouth opening is sweet and slightly bitter with almost no sourness.
I wondered if I could finish it. But the next day, the sourness started to appear and it became much easier to drink.
At first, I thought, "What the heck..." but then I thought, "Whoa, that's good! I hope to be like that in my new department.
Good luck😅
Hi Maru 😃.
It must be exhausting and physically and mentally draining to change personnel at work and adjust to a new environment 💧I guess a healing family and alcohol are a lifesaver 🥰I'm sure you can become someone like Chuai ❗️ Good luck 🤩.
Hi Maru!
No matter how many times we experience transfers, it always makes us exhausted both mentally and physically 💧.
Thank you for your hard work 🍀.
I'm bummed with your family and the healing power of alcohol 😅.
Chungai - I see you also enjoy the taste changes over the days 😲.
Hi Maru 😃
I was thinking 🤔 it hasn't been up for a while and then the transfer was quite sudden! That was tough 😓.
Maru-san has love for Tochigi 🥰, so I think you are already like a loyal love 🤗 hope you get used to it soon 😌 let's relax!
Hello brother Maru. Thank you for the personnel change. Spring is the season when you tend to get tired easily😣 Please drink sake in moderation so that you don't accumulate fatigue both mentally and physically 😊.
ma-ki-, konnichiwa😊.
Thank you 🙇.
I'm so goofy every day 😫 I wake up in the morning and my body is still stiff😭.
I think the chuai is like a complete body with added acidity. As for me, I would recommend after the second day👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊.
Thank you 🙇.
I'm doing well on the sake, but March is a very busy month for business and April is a tiring month for transfers 😓.
I'll drink Tochigi sake and do my best 💪 of Tochigi love 🥰.
Good evening, Maru🌇It is difficult to adjust to a new environment due to personnel changes. Spring is the season of change. To avoid getting sick from fatigue, be healed by your family and recharge your power with alcohol😊Maybe it's time to recharge your metamorphosis: ⚡️
Nemuchi, good evening 🌃
Thank you very much 🙇.
I have been feeling a bit out of sorts lately, but now I see where you are coming from.
I must not be getting enough kinky charge 🤣.
I'll have to look for some kinky drinks 🤣.
Good evening, Maru 😃.
Sounds like you're going through a lot 😌 transfers always come out of the blue 😅.
With the help of your family and the healing power of alcohol, let's just get through until GW 😊🍶🍶.
Good evening, Maru 🌛.
Thank you for your new job due to the transfer 🙇.
The end of the fiscal year and the beginning of the fiscal year are very busy, please vent well with alcohol 😁.
Good evening, Maru🦉.
It's been 7 years and all of a sudden it's hard 😰I hope you can go to the liquor store for a change of pace 🥹and enjoy your favorite drinks and snacks 🙏✨.
Good morning, Aladdin. ☀️
Thank you 🙇.
I really wish you would stop announcing at the last minute at the end of the fiscal year 😂.
I will do my best while dangling the carrot of GW!
Good morning, Mr. Gyve ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you 🙇.
I'm really busy 😅I struggle with my unfamiliar work every day and when I get home, I take a breather with sake 😂.
Good morning, Pon.
Thank you 🙇.
I haven't been able to go to the liquor store since April 😭
But I think I'll be able to go soon, so I'll go for a change as you said 🚙💨
I still haven't raised the drinks I had over the weekend 😅I'm interrupting this post because a major event came first!
So everyone, April 1st, the beginning of the new year 🌸 or April Fool's Day 🤥, is Jay's birthday 🤗.
It's Tuesday and the party is about to begin! Naturally, Tochigi sake was chosen as the celebratory sake, and Chuaai-san, who hasn't had a drink at home for a long time ‼️ was chosen because its colorful and cute label is perfect for Jay 👶🏻 😆.
I'll make love to you!
The aroma is fruity 😌 The label makes me think it's passionate.
The first sip is delicious 😋It's juicy and sweet, but the bitterness in the second half is pleasant 😙It goes perfectly with the steak and salmon roe rolls we had that day 🤗.
I was a little bit worried because the sake shop's introduction listed the sake level as -2 or -3 😅 but even without the advantage of being a Tochigi sake, it was certified as a good sweetness by international J&N standards 👍.
So it was an instant kill deal and we only had one more beer 🍺 and a cake 🍰😋.
Now that I turned one year older yesterday😁 it will finally be a year of moving from Arakan to Riakan ‼️ I will walk slowly, chewing and drinking!
I want to go around Japan and watch MLB games when I get settled 🥹.
My dreams are growing Tochigi Ai 🥰!
Happy Birthday to Jay ‼️ 🎊Happy Birthday to you 4/1🎊😯It's really true 😆Sweet, mildly bitter sake that would go well with cake, perfect 🥰.
I love that the two of you are going on a sake brewery tour around Japan ‼️ 😍
Dream come true Tochigi love ❤️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Happy Birthday🎉!
Celebration sake is still Tochigi love 😍.
Good sweetness and bitterness in the second half - well balanced and delicious 😋.
Enjoy another year with sake 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
Happy Birthday to you, Jay ㊗️🎉🎊

Yes, I am looking forward to enjoy it slowly 🤗Yes! I hope to enjoy it slowly 🤗Yes! Please check the J&N criteria 👋.

Happy Birthday, Jay 🎂Happy Birthday 🎉Is this the year you move to Riakan 🤣Go for it! Around Japan 😆 ✈️🇺🇸⚾️ 😆 You have a lot of future ahead of you 😆 ❣️ Let's have fun and enjoy our health first😄♪
This sake has a light, powdery, snowy lees. The aroma is already sweet! When you put it in your mouth, it has a sweetness like the top of amazake (sweet sake). I love this sake. I want to drink it again. ......... The spiciness of the alcohol taste remains on the tongue.
