Thanks again for all your hard work today.
I ended up drinking every day this week.
This week we had Tatenokawa from Tatenokawa Sake Brewery
This time it was a bottle of Muga Red!
It's been a long time since I've had Tatenokawa!
I was looking for a sake made from the rice of the Snow Goddess, when I came across this sake!
Let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It has a fresh and sweet aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, a gorgeous aroma with a slight effervescence escapes your nose.
The fruity and gentle sweetness is very good.
From the mid-palate, there is a lingering fresh spiciness in the back of the throat with a bitterness that gradually fades away.
The balance of the flavor of the sake and the microbubbling gives the impression of excellent compatibility.
Day 2
The mouthfeel is fruity and beautifully sweet.
The gasiness is almost gone, but the lingering bitterness is still there from the mid-palate.
It is very easy to drink with its beautiful balance, and when paired with a meal, the sweetness and the umami are delicious!
The third day
The sweetness soaks into the mouth.
The bitterness that has become soft and smooth is also a nice touch.
It was delicious with a meal even though it had become sweet.
It's been a long time since I've tasted Tatenogawa, but it was so beautiful and delicious that I drank too much even though it was a weekday!
Good evening, ma-ki-chan😄Thank you for your hard work this week 🥰You are so tired that you drink every day. But if you can rest your mind with the power of a great drink, good for you 👌Tatenogawa has become a healing drink too💕.
Good evening, ma-ki-😊Mega's Red Bottle of Muga looks delicious ❗️ I haven't had regular Muga for a while but I like it very much so it must be delicious 😉 Have a good drink and relax 😌.
ma-ki-, good evening 😊thanks for your hard work this week 😆That's quite a stylish bottle 😆Tastes good too 😊I can get Tate-no-kawa at my local liquor store, but they don't sell this one...I'd love to try it!
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
I've been drinking a little too much this week, but I'll just say it was a blissful time 😁✨✨.
It's been a while since I've been to Tatenogawa, but I really enjoyed the food 😋!
Thanks for your comment Seigo!
I see you've had MUGASAN before: ⤴️
It was my first MUGASAN and it was delicious, slightly sparkling and beautifully sweet 😋.
It was truly a healing drinking time 😊.
Thanks for your comment Kano!
And thanks again for your hard work this week🍀.
The bottle is beautiful ✨
It was my first time to try Muga and it was delicious with a slight sparkle 😋.
It seems to come in a variety of colors, so if you have a chance, please do 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Nochi!
I drank for a week, but I guess that's just the way it is 😋.
There are so many drinks I want to drink, but it's a once in a lifetime event, so I won't hesitate to drink them 😁✨✨.
ma-ki-, good morning 🌞I also drank every day 😅I can do my best just waiting for a good drink ✨I have only drank a little Tatenokawa, but it is a delicious memory 🤤.
Hello ma-ki-😃!
Mr. Tateno River! We don't have house drinking 🥲tabun.
No, no, no, we work hard every day 💦 we can drink every day 🤗 let's be selfless and cover ourselves in alcohol 😆.
Thanks for your comment Nao888!
Oh, so you've been drinking every day: ⤴️
Yes, yes, I was! I'm going to work hard when I think those girls will be waiting for me when I get home 👊✨.
The second Tatenogawa was delicious too 😋.
Thanks for your comments Jay & Nobby!
I'm the opposite, I only drink at home 😁✨.
Yes, I agree, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to drink at home or not. We decided to drink this week so we had it gracefully and happily 😋.
I will continue to cover myself in alcohol 🤤.
Hi ma-ki-, 😃This red bottle is so cool ✨I want to decorate it ❤️4 month is good weather so you can drink every day 👍Well, this is what I say every month with different words 😅.
Mr. ma-ki-.
Hello 🔴.
That bottle looks like a red comet 🔴.
I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk 3 times faster 🤣.
I can't taste the second or third day like ma-ki-'s repo because I tend to drink when it's good 🤣.
Thank you for your comment, Koizo!
It really is a stunning bottle of red ⤴️
I'm a weak drinker so I can't drink a lot even if it tastes good😅.
But I do understand the feeling of drinking because it tastes so good 😋.
Enjoying Yamagata's sake to the fullest. Elegant taste with lots of sweetness, acidity and fullness✨.
I had another serving of this too!
It's a confluence of Sakata's sake and Mogamigawa.
The aroma is umami type.
The mouthfeel is clearly gassy, though I couldn't see it, and the umami and acidity come on the palate.
The cleanliness and sweetness of the jun-dai lingers in the end with a sense of delay.
