Reuniting with my best friend from college for the first time in 35 years (^^)
Back at the same time in an instant ❣️
We've both aged a bit, but thank goodness our hearts are the same🙏.
maki.
Thank you for your message.
We were both busy with work and couldn't see each other for a long time.
We promised to meet again next time and it was really a wonderful time!
Machida Sake Brewery is really good sake 🍶.
The brewer is also a female toji, and she is very attractive 🎯 Please try it 🙏.
Forgot to raise it yesterday!
The aroma is rather gorgeous.
The mouthfeel is beautiful when you drink it.
The palate has a field-green, rice-like (or maybe a little bran-like?) flavor.
Limey, cool flavor, then surprisingly strong umami.
Bitter after a while.
A refreshing finish.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
It is getting a little colder. I finally put on a fleece in my room 😨.
Here's what I chose for such a day: 💁♂️ This time it's sake🍶 which is limited to one bottle.
Let's start with the standing aroma. Because I can't remember the name of the fruit even if it comes out to my throat 🤔I'll go for the sweet and refreshing fruit aroma. In the mouth it is juicy and crisp, yet very easy to drink with a good balance of pleasant sweetness, acidity, umami, and bitterness. It has a sweet and umami flavor that is typical of Machida. Delicious😋Be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️
With simmered Chinese cabbage. The sweet and umami taste of the pork and Chinese cabbage combined with the sweet and umami taste and slight bitterness of this sake makes it a perfect food sake👍.
Alcohol content】16度
Pickles] Simmered Chinese cabbage in tenderloin
Price including tax】3,300 yen (1 bottle)
Today we will use the sea bream we caught yesterday.
Is collaboration in fashion these days?
Usually, a different Machida brewery.
More gassy in the mouth than usual,
It was the perfect sake for fish dishes with a spiciness
It was the perfect sake for fish dishes.
There was a craft fair in the north today, and I wandered around and looked around quite a bit 😄 Here's what I chose to do on that day: 💁♂️
Let's start with the standing aroma. It has a faintly sweet and fruity aroma of koji rice. In the mouth, there is a fresh and smooth sweetness and a gaseous feeling, and at the end, you can taste the bitterness that tightens the taste.
Serve with potato gratin. If anything, the bitterness of this sake seems to have increased a little. When I put some salmon roe on it, well, it's strange😳The saltiness of the salmon roe and the deliciousness of the fish roe match with Megane's, which gives it a nice accent and spreads the flavor👍.

Machida Shuzo Summer Jun Usu Nigori Omachi Junmai Ginjo
Long time no see Machida!
It's still so delicious!
It has a strong petit taste, a nice sharpness, and a big burst of umami!
It's a great taste for those who like light nigori and petit taste!
Oh, no!
So good, I want to drink it freshly opened all the time. ......

Collaboration? Machida Sake Brewery also makes glasses?
I didn't know they made glasses at so many different breweries.
I didn't know that.
And it's a sweet and tasty sake,
It's a sweet and tasty sake!
drinking at home edition
I was thinking about what to take home,
The master landlady recommended a collaboration sake, and
I bought a packet.
I was going to drink it with sake on October 1, but
I opened it right away. 😆 .
It was easy to drink and went well with boiled, dyed and pickled nozawana.
I was so happy to see it.
I know I'm late in posting this, but I took a flight in honor of October 1~!
A typical Machida dish 😍!
The costuming is also good!
You can have it by itself 🍶.
Just... don't leave it for a day 🥹.
I wonder if the miscellaneous taste and alcohol increase from the 3rd day 😨.
I was also worried about the original glasses... but I don't need that many glasses wipes 🤔 lol
A friend of mine told me that they have a good selection of sake, so I called the restaurant and went there!
I was told that the course meal requires a reservation the day before, and that the all-you-can-drink option is for two or more people, so I asked for two dishes I was interested in first!
You can only order the 3-drink comparison once!
They explained to us that we could take our time and look through the cold storage and decide what we would like to drink!
There were about 40 different kinds of wine available that day!
The one on the left is dry and the one on the right is sweet!
I took my time and selected the best team I liked!
First, this one, labeled "Uramachida"!
It's so shiny!
I can feel its vigor!
The best draft for sure 😑!
Nameko and Narazuke!
This will make your sake go further 🍶!

October 1: Glasses Day 👓.
October 1 is Sake Day, but it's also
It is also a day for glasses👓. ☝️
I've been comparing No.6 sake.
I'm in a pretty good mood 🤤.
Dora prepared for this day.
I need to drink some alcohol too 🍾... 🍾.
Sake by Megane's Megane, for Megane's Megane: ☝️To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hagino Sake Brewery in Miyagi Prefecture's "Megane Exclusive", all the Megane breweries in Japan collaborated to release this collaborative sake: ❣️
Machida Shuzo's version is one of them: ❣️
Wakata-san has already uploaded the article 🤗.
I'm going to open it too ✨🥂✨😆😆
Fruity aroma...
It's a little bit tantalizing to the nose (lol).
When you take a sip
Soft mouthfeel
A little bit strong acidity, sweet and sour
It's also fruity and easy to drink.
It is easy to drink and delicious 💕😋💕.
Tonight, Dora-chan
Dora bought sushi and yakitori for me 😊.
I prepared a lot of things too.
I also prepared some tonkatsu because I heard on TV in the morning that October 1st is the day of tonkatsu.
So you prepared tonkatsu as well!
No.6 and glasses only went well with everything 🤗.
I'm getting a little drunk.
I'd like to drink a little more tonight 😚.
The third photo
It's an extra eyeglass wipe 🤭.
Good morning, Tsubu-chan 😃I wish Dora-chan and my husband could visit a liquor store and see what they are doing, they are going in the same direction 😄I see you had a fascinating evening of sushi, yakitori, tonkatsu, and a fascinating dinner table with a delicious barrage of sake, wonderful ❤️
Good evening, Tsubuchan😊I was also interested in this one, especially the collaboration with Mr. Machida (lol). I see you are enjoying Sake Day to the fullest.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 🌛.
I can't help but wonder why there is no collaboration between local liquor stores and eyeglass makers, even though there is a city close by that calls itself [the city of eyeglasses] every year 🤔.
Good evening, Wakata-san😄!
It's true 🤭It's amazing how much we are in the same direction 😆It would be fun if these two went on a liquor store tour together 😄♪ I was happy to drink the same sake on the day of the glasses 🤗It was a memorable sake day!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I found out that October 1 was also Coffee Day, Japanese Tea Day, and many other days 🤔It's fun to look for drinks named after such ◯◯ days 🤭♪
Here we go...! It's time to go 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu😄!
I knew you were curious about it! I wish I could compare 7 breweries' 👓🍶 drinks if I wanted to 😙.
This one was quintessential Machida Sake Brewery ☝️ fruity and delicious 😘.
It was a luxurious sake day 🥰🍶✨
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
Yes, I know - it is the world's three major eyeglass producing areas and the "Mecca of glasses", isn't it? I can't help but have high expectations 🥹Glasses warehouse owner, are you here 〰︎📣Local liquor stores are also 〰︎(laughs).
October 1, Sake Day.
For today, my husband had gotten a bottle of sake from Machida Sake Brewery and Haginotsuru, all of whom collaborated with the brewery of glasses 👓.
It seems that Miyagi Prefecture's Hagino Sake Brewery released a collaboration sake with 6 of their good friend breweries from all over Japan to commemorate the 10th anniversary of <Megane Only>,
Here is the <Machida Shuzo> version.
The label is by Akiya Machida, the president of Megane Otoko ✨It also came with an extra pair of eyeglass wipes💦.
Since it is Machida Shuzo standard, it is fresh and fruity 💕👍and like Haginotsuru's glasses 👓, it has a crisp acidity ✨.
Delicious 😋!
When it's cold, the acidity is strong and the bitterness comes out quickly, but when it loosens up a bit, the sweetness and acidity become good friends, just right 🩷.
It was a nice pairing of sweetness rather than saltiness.
Personally, the best match 🥰 is when you take a brown sugar bite.
We successfully ended the day with sake 😊.
The third picture is our dinner. Since it was Sake Day, we had a seafood bowl with the hubby's pickled salmon roe as the main 👍.
Good evening, Wakata-san😄.
Finishing with sake on Sake Day! That's great 💖Machida Sake Brewery's version of Glasses looks sweet and sour 😍.
Your husband's pickled salmon roe looks amazing too 🤩I hope he cooks for you ❣️
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening 😃My husband does his best to make what he wants to eat by himself. What, you make that homemade ⁉️ often surprises me 💦Machida here, it was delicious and perfectly balanced 🩷.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
October 01 is glasses day 👓.
As a glasses-only sake fan, I wanted to have all 7 glasses-only sake for the 10th anniversary, but not even 1 sake could make it, so I will refer you to this: ☺️
Good evening, Wakata-san😄.
I'm glad we could drink the same sake on the sake & glasses day 😊♪ I chose Machida Sake Brewery ☝️ out of 7 breweries 🤭 You two are kindred spirits 🤭.
I was also drinking "Wakaizumi" a little while ago and I was like oh wow ❣️ 🤗.
Good evening, Wakata 😃.
It's great that you prepared so well for this day 👏I had LASIK over 10 years ago and now my eyesight is so bad I can't see near or far 😩I only have eyes to see alcohol 😢.
Ah! That's good enough for me 😆.
Tsuyodai, sorry for the delay in replying to you. 🙇♀️ This collaboration thingy is full of fascinating breweries 😆 I was also interested in Kuroemon XVI, but I never came across it 💦I got Machida, thanks to your husband 🥰.
Aladdin, sorry for the delay in replying to you. 🙇♀️ The acidity of glasses-only sake is addictive, and I can see why you would be a fan 👍7 sake certainly sounds difficult. Maybe meeting Machida was the kiseki that made your husband happen✨.
Tsubu-chan, sorry for the late reply 🙇♀️ but really, the husbands of both families stock the same sake even though they are separated by the same timing in the east and west, it's a strange coincidence 🥰.
Jay & Nobby, sorry for the late reply🙇♀️LASIK, even if you do it, your eyesight will deteriorate, totally blind spot🧐If you have eyes to see alcohol, you can get through most things in the world with ease❣️ no evidence 😅.
