The series of long time no see series continues😅! It's been about two and a half years since I've had a bottle of Motokin-san's home brew since I got it on my Nagano sake trip! Since it's the second bottle for rehabilitation, we thought it would be nice to have a lighter one 😙, so we chose this one 🤗It's a nice bottle with a light price too 🤗. I'll make love to you The aroma is sweet and fruity 😌. The aroma is sweet and fruity 😌 and when you take a sip, you'll see it's another Ambassa type with a strong sweetness 😋. It's quite sweet, but it has a nice acidity that covers the sweetness 😙 It's a low alcohol sake at 13 degrees, so it's perfect for rehabilitative drinking as I was aiming for 😄. By the way, it was Nobby's birthday 🎂 over a week ago 🥲 on Sunday, October 12! We had planned to get together at Ichikawa that day and celebrate 🎊 with everyone, but... as I mentioned in my previous post, Nobby got sick from the previous Thursday and we had to give up 😓, and from Friday night Jay had the same symptoms😱. Neither of them had corona or flu, but it was like something was sitting in the back of their nose and throat and making them cough 😩. But it was my birthday and I had to cheer myself up ‼️ so I took out the "Unaju" for lunch that day🤗. I also bought a cake while I went to pick it up, and we celebrated with coffee☕&cake🍰 after lunch without alcohol🥹.

Happy Birthday to Nobby 🎂🎊🎉! I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, but I was still touched by the friendship between the two of you celebrating your anniversary: ☺️ I'd love to try the modern label and flavor that doesn't look like Honkinese gold 🤤.

A souvenir from the recent Suwa Gozo event😊. I tasted it and it was delicious, so I took the plunge and bought it, even though it was a bit expensive (lol). It's still delicious✨. It has a refreshing citrusy acidity that is typical of Miyamanishiki, but it also has a sweet and delicious flavor that is wonderful!

Yesterday, I went on a sake brewery tour of the five Suwa breweries. As a driver w... https://nomiaruki.com/tour/ *This is a very satisfying event where you can enjoy sake from each brewery and get an extra boar cup or glass at each brewery! After a light trekking at Kita-Yokodake, we went a little further and took our seniors with us. Everyone was very satisfied. Every sake brewery had its own characteristics and each was very tasty. I bought some gifts, such as this sake made from Honkin gold, which is hard to find in Tokyo. The explanation given at the store was that the sweetness is followed by a slight bitterness that quickly disappears, and it was absolutely true. I wondered what the bitterness of sake was like. I wondered what the bitterness of sake was like. Yesterday was a tough day with traffic jams and such, but everyone had a great time and it was a very fulfilling day. I was a day late myself, but I was able to enjoy some delicious sake! But I wish I could have had a drink at the brewery, too!

On October 4, we participated in the Kamisuwa Highway Machiaruki Drinking Event. Unfortunately, it started raining during the event, but we were very happy to enjoy sake from the five Suwa breweries! Among the many sake that we tasted, here is one that we bought as a souvenir because it was so delicious. It is sweet and tasty, with an elegant acidity. It tastes like rice wine.
