Tomogara Junmai Ginjo Genshu" from Yamachu Honke Shuzo!
This junmai ginjo is made entirely from "Tojo Yamada-Nishiki," the highest grade of Yamada-Nishiki, known as the king of sake rice!
Careful fermentation control at low temperatures produces a light, low-alcohol sake with a subtle sweetness and mild aroma.
Its mild aroma makes it an excellent match for seafood.
It is also recommended to be served with dessert or as a sake cocktail with grapefruit.
Tomogara" means "to drink for a long time like a companion," making it an ideal wedding gift.
Even though Gichigi is considered to be a Genin's favorite, it is also recommended for beginners who are not accustomed to drinking Japanese sake.
Although it has an alcohol content of 14%, it is a junmai ginjo sake that is not watered down in any way. Therefore, the full and deep flavor unique to Gichikyo can be felt in the lightness of the mouthfeel.

Sake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party ⑫
Here is a drink from the restaurant
I haven't had Gikyou Haruha for a very long time.
It has a beautiful taste, but the rice flavor and a little bit of richness.
Not too sweet but not too spicy either.
I think it's a perfect food sake 🤔.
I think I forgot to drink the sake that I brought with me 😿.
Oh, no? I was looking forward to Robin's sake but he didn't bring it 🤣.
I was hoping he would buy it when he and Yoohee went to the liquor store in the morning 🤣.
When I left the store, it was still 3pm and very bright 🤣.
I asked my mom to take a photo of me 📸.
I used my in-camera to get a good shot of myself 😸.
We said goodbye to those who were leaving and went to the after-party with Robin, Yoohee, pyonpyon, Pon-chan, Yasube, Eiji, and Kan.
It was rare to see Pon-chan at the second party, and it was also rare to see Yasubeyesan without Kaorin 😁.
For some unknown reason, I couldn't order sake even though there was sake in the fridge, so I made a highball with 4L of whiskey that Robin-san kept 🤣.
To be continued
bouken, sorry for the persistence 🙇.
I was so happy to be able to go to the second meeting 😆 I managed to catch the bus that I usually miss 👍Thank you so much for starting so early 😊🙏🙏.
bouken-san, good evening 😃Aun, the proprietress said she would serve all-you-can-drink sake, so I didn't bring any 🙇You all brought so much that I hardly drank any of the all-you-can-drink 🍶💦Next time let's do it endlessly from noon on 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Robin.
So that was the reason 😳 excuse me💦.
Well, I didn't drink the cash-on drinks either 😅.
I would love to drink until the last minute at Aunden 😆.
This is a new sake made from new rice from a new brewery.
It is easy to drink because it is made of "Gohyakumangoku" (five hundred million stone), but the lingering taste is not my favorite 😅I think it is a dry type that you can feel the umami after the temperature gets higher. Since it's a nama-shu, it has a chiri-chiri-ness to it, so it went well with sashimi. ☺️
It's almost cloudy, almost like a clear sake, but there is also this kind of orikarami.
Last week I went on a business trip to Hiroshima airport and had Onomichi Ramen for the first time in a long time 🍜 delicious 😋 and I also drank milk coffee because of a movie I watched because I'm a fan of milk coffee 🤭 the coffee was super sweet 😆.
It is made from Gohyakumangoku, produced by the Nanto Agricultural Cooperative in Toyama Prefecture.
For the first sake, I ordered the "Chivalrous Chivalry".
The waiter asked me if I wanted Yamadanishiki or Gohyakumangoku. I chose Gohyakumangoku without hesitation!
The flavor is softly spreading, as is typical for a sake made from sake.
It had a fresh aroma that reminded me a little of pineapple, and the refreshing mouthfeel with acidity and a slight bitterness at the end made it perfect for a mealtime drink.
Aisai City.
It is yellow in color and smells as if it has been aged.
It has a robust flavor and is delicious. It has a sweet aftertaste, but it does not linger too long, so you can keep drinking it.
Last of the day.
Ihyakumangoku.
From the sweetness and umami, the richness of the umami is quickly developed. The umami extends to the back of the mouth.
