I had a relaxing drink at home with my husband for the first time in a long time!
My husband's medical checkup results showed that his record for consecutive liver function A was broken ‼️, so we're drinking 🥰.
Last week, my husband had a race in Akita prefecture, followed by a business trip to Miyazaki prefecture. I'll be drinking at home 💕.
After the race, I stopped by a sake brewery in Iwate prefecture and brought this innocent 40 🥰 🥰 🥰 delicious 🥰 ‼️ what a perfect taste 😍 sweet, bitter, umami, sour, spicy, super balanced and quite firm👍
And I brought you from the south, Miyazaki Prefecture's famous charcoal grilled chicken 💕definitely delicious! I think this would go well with any sake, but today's solid 40 Mushrooms and the umami rich charcoal yakitori also go well together 😍.
After all, it's been a while, so I bought some sashimi from Kakugami Gyorui and made my usual grilled cheese stuffed with miso with shishito peppers from my uncle in the field: ❤️
And one nice idea 💡 for our family 🤭.

I'm still behind on posting outside drinks, so I'll update later, I promise 💪.
I'm in charge of shinsaku3 for impressions of the drinks by themselves 💕.

Hi Pekho 😃
I'm glad you got an A for your liver even though you are very busy 😊.
Sake from Iwate and Jidori chicken from Miyazaki 😌 makes me feel lucky to be born in Japan 😁.
I've seen INNOCENT at liquor stores but haven't tasted it 🥲I'll get it next time!
Hi HinaHanaMama 🌸Hello ‼️

Hi Pekho 🐦I'm sorry it's been so long since I've seen your reviews 💦.
First of all, congratulations on your health checkups 🎉Your health is the key to your racing and booze activities 😊.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
I went to Akita for a motorcycle race from 7/19 to 7/21😃.
By the way, I went back to Miyazaki for work on 22 July with muscle aches all over my body ✈️😩.
In addition, I'm going on a business trip to Aichi 🚗😩 from tomorrow to Friday.
I'll be back at midnight, and the following Saturday I'll be in Tokyo 🚃😫 for a company drinking party.
So, the forecast is that I won't be able to get out of my futon on Sunday 💤.
Well, what I was looking forward to ⁉️ more than the race was also the sake brewery visit 🍶.
This time we visited Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery😃.
According to the description

😃 According to the description, "Enjoy the refined and elegant ginjo aroma.
It is delicious ❣️😋
Clear with no clutter👍
The flavor is not very complex or deep, and the umami of the rice, slight sweetness, and the timing of the interweaving of these flavors give the impression of umami 👍🧐.
I served it chilled.
Pairing impressions were made by Pekho 😅
Here are my personal impressions😅

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I know you are very busy with races and business trips 💦I hope you are feeling well. I'm not worried about your nutritional needs because you have Pekho-san 🤣Please cherish the healing time you have with Pekho-san 💖.
Hi shinsaku3 😃
You are energetic in your hobbies and work from north to south ‼️
Even in the midst of all that, a visit to a sake brewery is wonderful👍.
Time to relax and drink sake is bliss 😊.
Is that Pekho-san taking the third photo: ⁉️
Kikutsuka Yo Junmai-shu
The aroma is sharp and acidic.
The spiciness comes at first, followed by sweetness.
It is delicious when drunk chilled.
The label is cute, too.
National Sake Fair 2025 (3)
The third bottle is an extra.
When I bought the last bottle of Kiku no Tsukasa Shuzo's Shichifukujin, there was a sake called "Unraveling the Mysterious Sake 2025" that I bought along with it.
I was thrilled to see the word "undisclosed" on the label.
If you read the QR code on the label, a quiz will appear.
The only information on the specs is on the back of the label, and you have to guess the rest (1) to (6) 🎯.
In short, it's called blind tasting.
By the way, there are 6 questions in the quiz.
(1) 4 choices of specific name
Honjozo sake/Junmai sake/Daiginjo/Junmai Daiginjo
(2) 4 choices of rice used for sake
Sake Mirai / Yamadanishiki / Ginotome / Yunokou
(3) 3 choices of rice polishing ratio
40%/50%/60
(4) Alder addition or not
(5) Whether or not the sake is fire-brewed
(6) Yeast used (4 choices)
Yuko's Thought / Giovanni's Research / K-701 / K-1801
It's especially difficult to choose sake rice and yeast because some of them are unique to Iwate Prefecture!
How much do you think you'll hit?
The taste, don't tell me 🤭.
Of course, it was a delicious sake💕.
The sake fair is still going on!
Good evening, Hirupeco 😃.
Is it completely undisclosed? So it's the drink of the day 😳.
We are sensible drinkers 😙.
I don't think I'll be able to guess (1) to (6) 😅
I don't think I'll be able to guess the answer to ⑦) is it good or not? I think I'll get it right if it's (7) good or not 😅‼️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. I'm not "privy" to the fact that even though I think I'm drinking mama I feel without worrying about the specs, I realize that I'm drinking with some kind of a guess. By the way, this drink is quite tasty 😋.

Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery in Iwate Prefecture.
The oldest brewery in Iwate was explained to us and we had a tasting.
The Kiku-no-Masa Brewery's website says that it is the oldest brewery in Iwate Prefecture, founded in 1772, and the Azumamine Brewery's website also says that it is the oldest brewery in Iwate Prefecture, founded in 1684.

Unoaked, unfiltered sake. It is junmai (pure rice) but fruity and sweet with a clean finish. It is also very good, and I was not sure if I wanted to buy it or not. This sake was produced by the president's daughter.
I looked up the oldest sake brewery in Iwate Prefecture on the Internet and found that Azumamine Sake Brewery is the oldest in Iwate Prefecture as the origin of the Nanbu Touji, a sake brewer who made clear sake in the history. I guess Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery is the oldest as founded.
Hi, Nemu-chan. I was just drinking Kiku no Tsukasa😆I was also deeply investigating the meaning of the oldest in Iwate Prefecture, Nemu-chan 👍I am learning a lot!
Hi Hirupeko, I see you were drinking ☀Hello ☀Seven Lucky Gods 😊I guess it depends on what standard you say the oldest in Iwate prefecture is like the birthplace of sake 😅Iwate sake is also very good as well as Kiku no Tsukasa 😋.
I bought some turtle tail. Not only is it good and the aroma spreads well, but another savory aroma spreads afterwards, like it tastes twice as good. What is it, a barley-like aroma? Smoky? I don't know if I can rely on a drunk person's opinion, but... Anyway, it's interesting.
