Honkin Junmai Rainy sky and The rainy season front has returned The rainy days continued. The rain has stopped The sky has turned into a summer sky. I tried to play "the sky after the rain," but But it was a bit too much, wasn't it? 😁. I brought back from Nagano This is my first time drinking Honkin. Stylish appearance. The refreshing taste reminds me of citrus fruits. The taste reminds us of citrus fruits. The moderate acidity is also pleasant. It was a delicious sake✨. On the 17th Let's go eat Kitakata Ramen! I was going to eat Kitakata Ramen. My daughter also happened to be off. Where shall we go together🤔. After all, we couldn't decide where to go. My wife said to me on the morning of the day. "Why don't we go to Gotemba Outlet?" She asked me. We loaded up a cooler box, a shopping basket I loaded up my shopping basket, my carry-on, etc., and we set out! On the way to my daughter's place If it's an outlet, Hiratsuka would be nice 🤔. After meeting up with my daughter and discussing it, we decided to go to Hiratsuka 😁. Finish shopping, After shopping, we went to Atsugiya. A sip of soup is so good! Dinner, Since the day of the Ox in the summer is near, we went to Sakuraya in Mishima, Sakuraya in Mishima, not a family-style restaurant, but eel ✨. And then About 10 minutes after finishing the eel Bannai for grilled pork ramen 😁.

A week ago😅On this day, Jay was live in the early morning with Otani starting the game! And Nobby was cheering in his dreams 📣The Dodgers' losing streak was stopped 😊Let's go out for lunch once in a while! and left on the bus 🚌 before noon! I went to a restaurant I was interested in, but it was closed for lunch on Sundays, so I got sucked into "Sushi Hana Tei" where there was a sign supporting lunchtime drinking! The waitress in an anime character voice gave us a flowing explanation 😆 We ordered sashimi, tempura and fried food and toasted with beer 🍻! I had a quick drink and looked at the menu on the wall and thought, "Oh! After that, we enjoyed Benten Yamahane and Kariho's Kisamon dry sake, and finished with these three bottles 😊Next, let's go to the liquor store! Next stop: Utsunomiya Station💦. While looking at the liquor store in the station building, I saw a sign that said "Kaku-uchi (corner drinking)" and moved to the space next to it, which may sound surprising 😅J&N's first Kaku-uchi (corner drinking): ‼️ Here we had Kozaemon Pile Driver and Horaiizumi Shiboritate, which Satsuyu-san was drinking! Both were delicious 😊. After returning home, I only had a light beer 🍺 for the night. Conclusion: It was fun to drink during the day after a long time 😄!

Hi Jay & Nobby! Congratulations on your first visit to the corner 🎉! I remember Honkin-san from my trip to Suwa, but I haven't had it since then, so I'd love to try the lemon flavor of this delicious sake 🤤. I'd love to drink some lemon-y goodness ἤ.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 How was your first time at a corner bar? I haven't experienced it yet 🤣The two of you are so picturesque 💭🤭. It's a strange feeling to drink during the day, isn't it? Am I the only one who feels like doing something bad 😅.

Honkin Junmai Ginjo Bisei Nigori Nama Shu 720ml Rice used: 100% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 55 Alcohol level 16%. It has been waiting in the refrigerator for a while, but it is time to open the bottle. Open the bottle, puff it up, and tighten it up! It's very active 😆. After repeating 10 times, the bottle was finally opened. We had the active nigori. The dryness and the fruity taste are intertwined and it's so refreshing and delicious. I should have bought another bottle. But it gets drunk so fast when it's this hot😅.

Hongqin (China) A refreshingly sour food sake. The name was chosen to express both the meaning of brewing the true best sake (honkin) and the "no back-and-forth business" implied in the symmetrical characters.

Sake Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery (Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture) Honkin Yamahai Junmai Alcohol percentage 14 Rice polishing ratio 59 This is one of my personal favorite sake breweries. Taichi is dry and has a strong mouthfeel, while Honkin has no peculiarities and is very easy to drink. It is also a sake that can be enjoyed by everyone. It has a full and mellow mouthfeel. One sip and you will say, "Oh, it's delicious! is the first word that comes to mind when you take a sip. You can drink it without food. It is delicious.

One of the five breweries in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture By word of mouth on Google Maps It seemed to have a good reputation, so I went there and and bought it. 100% Suwa Miyamanishiki Citric acidity from the use of white malted rice I heard it has a citric acidity... 🧐. Yum! Delicious! It's like a summer sake 😆😆😆😆. At first I thought it was a bit heavy, But after that, it has a moderate sourness, refreshing and refreshing 😊. Just like the name! The sky after the rain 😆😆😆😆😆. There seems to be no special distributor in Aichi Prefecture. Too bad 😭

This is recommended. The sweet and sour aroma spreads and matured banana aroma is similar to melon and fresh yellow apple aroma. It has an elegant sweetness with a nice fresh and sharp acidity. The mouthfeel is hard to believe it is sake. It is also inexpensive and cosy.

On the bottom right of the label. "Good times, good sake." ... Nice 💓 When I was planning my trip to Nagano, I learned that there are many sake breweries in Nagano. This is one that I visited and welcomed in Suwa City. Maybe more Nagano sake posts for a while 🦆. Now, Honkin summer sake🍶. Very clear and easy to drink! With some acidity. I could feel the deliciousness of the water in this bottle. Last but not least, a reminder of our trip... We arrived just before closing time, so we made a mad dash around the town lined with sake breweries. We were in a huge rush, but the brewers showed us around and we were able to shop with satisfaction 🍶.

Summer Nigorinpik 91 In April, I had the light nigori of Mio, a junmai ginjo from the same company, and today I will have the active nigori version 😀. The top aroma of the light nigori was a little more gorgeous than the light nigori 🤣. Both are fruity and delicious, but the active nigori is naturally more fruity and has a more robust fruitiness with a hint of sourness. Both are delicious, but I think I prefer the active nigori more 🤣. I would like to compare the two next year if I have a chance 😇
