Last week, my liver took a solid five days off from Monday to Friday after New Year's 🤗 and on Saturday, I joined my daughters in Tokyo as I mentioned last time!
That night, my daughter and I went with him to an Okinawan izakaya (izakaya) where we drank beer 🍺 and highballs 🥃, but I was not in the mood for the Reimei 🍶 that was on the menu 😑.
After leaving the restaurant, I split up with two other people and walked to Ueno Station. We had about 20 minutes to wait for the bullet train, so we wondered if we could have a quick drink at a soba noodle shop inside the station where there were bottles of sake 🤔I'm not that much of a drinker, so I decided to hold off...as a result, I haven't had sake for a long time🥲.
But that's beside the point 😆.
My first sake in 5 days was Ona-san, the first label after the zodiac bottle: ‼️
bouken-san drank it last week and informed me that it has a fancy taste among Ona's. â
I will make love to you!
The aroma is fruity, peachy and sweet.
The first sip has the same fruity and sweet taste as the aroma, and then the sourness and bitterness come in, which is what I call a mellow taste 😋!
If I didn't drink so much of this, I would only have 3-4 bottles in stock and I'm a mature drinker 😉.
Mellow Tochigi love 🥰.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
You two are not that much of a drinker, so it was sake you hadn't had in a while 😁✨.
Sake that you haven't had in a while is also a quintessential Tochigi love ❣️
I'd like to try Ona's fancy sake with the image of deliciousness 😊.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😁I've never had Ona's Arabashiri, it looks so delicious from your review 😊I'm sure it must have tasted great after a good rest day.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I need to give my liver a rest, but I'm limited to one day at best 💦.
Ona's Arabashiri looks delicious 🍶 with its fruity and sweet taste.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I see your liver had a winter break 😅.
I haven't given Mr. Liver much of a break, so I've been giving him ornithine to keep him going 💪😅.
I'm curious about your peach🍑feeling sweet Ona 😃.
Jay & Nobby 🍑I'm trying to learn to take a day off from drinking, but it's hard to keep up with the exception days 😅Concern 💦.
Ohna-san, it looks so delicious! I can feel it spreading 🤤 We're about to start loving Tochigi too: ❤️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙
We hope you enjoyed your visit to Tokyo 🗼🥳.
I got this Ona last year and it was delicious ✨I can't give you a detailed taste... well... it's just that... 🤣.
I wish I could call myself a geek with my stock numbers 😂.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
Okinawan food after a break was unexpected and surprising 🤣.
By the way, "Reimei" seems to be even rarer now that the brewery is closed ✨.
Ona" is one I want to pursue this year, but the problem is that there are no stores that carry it!
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛I'm not a drinker either, so my love for sake is out of proportion to the amount I can drink 😢I'm jealous of Ona because I got some nigori and it is on my radar 🤤Sure you love Tochigi💕.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
I thought it might be a little sweet for you two, but I'm relieved to hear it's delicious 😊.
Aromatic Tochigi love 🥰I'll try to use it 😆👍
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I thought the clear sake Ona-san that we had the other day tasted quite clear and transparent, but I think this one is more to our liking 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
Ona, all your reviews sound delicious and I'm curious, but I like mellow so I had to check it out 🫡.
It's a delicious drink when you want to drink it and when you can drink it slowly 😊.
Hi soumacho 😃
It was a tough battle but we managed to beat you 👍 maybe it's good that we both keep each other in check 😁.
Ona-san! Please give it a try 👋
Hi shinsaku3 😃
I guess it's a compensatory holiday for the New Year's work 😅.
I see that you also need ornithine supplement 🤔 or maybe shijimi soup every day 😁.
Please check the other comment I sent you in the past 👋.
Hi Kotaro 😃.
I feel like I went to see the crowds 😅I had fun 😊I looked back at your post! I see you also enjoyed the heated 🍶😙 I simply didn't go out to buy anything 😉.
Hi bouken 😃
I actually finished it and my first impression was 'it was sweet' 😅Total deliciousness! I was 😋.
I think it's a bit cold to call it "Tochigi Ai" 🥰😆.
Hi Pon 😃
Yes, I have a lot of them! They are all delicious 😋 and I think this one is one of the sweeter ones 🤗.
I think this one is the sweeter one among them 🤗! I think it's best to drink it slowly when you want to 😙.
Jay & Nobby, we look forward to working with you this year. Tokyo with your daughters, good for you. Ona too. I stocked up on a few bottles of Tochigi sake too, so looking forward to it. Reimei, I wanted to fill the Okinawa window, but had to give up due to the closure, but now I have this option!
Good evening, WOM 😃.
I look forward to working with you this year too: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
I'm looking forward to seeing your Tochigi sake 🍶🤗 Please use my Tochigi love 🥰 👋.
Yes! Okinawa Izakaya 🏮 might be good!
This is actually my first Ona.
The aroma is mango and pineapple.
Light on the palate, medium-bodied, with a light and refreshing aftertaste that makes it very easy to drink.
It has sweetness and umami, but a dry bitterness dominates the palate from the mid-palate.
It is never unpleasant, and the refreshing mouth makes you want to tilt the glass one after another.
This is good. The aroma is good and the taste is modern. Even special junmai and junmai have their good points. I thought so on the day the bottle was opened, but when I drank it after a day off from drinking, it became somewhat watery. Then the bitterness became more noticeable. As is typical with locally brewed sake, there was a bit of a gap between the two. It is better to drink it up as soon as you open the bottle.

Hi Jay & Nobby!
It's best to drink all of it on the day the bottle is opened. I would like to see an indication of when to drink it, as different liquors have different drinking times.

Good evening, Mr. Yan ^_^
I was able to buy Ona's zodiac bottle this year, and the first bottle I opened this year was this one and another zodiac bottle 😊.
I had it with sukiyaki myself and it was delicious✨.
Hi Jaynobi.
This zodiac sign label has a great impact, doesn't it?
It has a good balance of sharpness and is perfect as a food sake.
It's perfect as a food sake.
My father-in-law loved this one 🙌.
Hi Manta.
I see we had dinner together 😳.
The palate reset was great.
We ate food after food after food and it didn't take long.
I was full 🫄 in no time 🤭.
