Noge with his eldest son and his wife (1) On Saturday, I received a line from my eldest son saying, "I'm thinking of going to a bedrock bath near our house on Sunday and would like to have dinner afterwards. (My wife went to Izumo where our daughter was staying. (My wife has gone to Izumo with our daughter and Takamatsu with her mother-in-law, so she invited me out since she is alone?) I asked him, "Okay, what time? I asked him what time, and he said noon. There are not many places near my house where you can drink from noon, so we ended up going to Noge. First "shellfish" restaurant I've ever been to. Kikuyu with hot sake (it was a little cold and rainy) 🍶. My oldest son's wife is a sake drinker, so it was perfect! This is my first time drinking it! And I don't usually drink it hot, so I don't know what it is, but it's nice 😋. I can feel the acidity. And the aroma comes in fluffy. I guess I was right in heating it up. Don't eat too much, let's go to the next restaurant!

LOL! I drank it before I took the picture, not caring that the 12 month challenge was over. I ate my snacks before I could even taste them lol. I have a favorite drink. I have delicious food! I am happy!

I drank it before and enjoyed it so much I had to repeat 😊. Goes well with grilled fish 😋. Somehow it tastes better after a few days to get rid of the curd 🙋♂️.

The first bottle of the new year is Ago Ariki🎉. This is my personal favorite brand 😊. It's a very juicy, sweet sake with a great drinking experience 🥰. We had it with whale's deer roe 🐳.

Sweet and delicious sake with a gorgeous aroma like white wine and a burst of flavor in the mouth 😊. We had it with shrimp curry 😊.

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste. The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries. Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years. Founded in 1902 It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.

A gentle flourish and beauty,. Hmm, there is definitely a beauty and softness to it ☺️? Nice with the rice flavor😋.

Japanese>English

It was cloudy and raining a little today... Couldn't see the moon, but the sake was good. ✌️

Japanese>English

It is a full-bodied sake in the wine sense, but as with the Setoichi series, it is a delicious sake with a robust flavor that spreads in the mouth. The sake brewer recommended mixing it 1:1 with carbonated soda. It is indeed easy to drink and delicious! A sake that goes well with well-seasoned snacks. I like ★★★★

The rice used is Yamadanishiki and Shunyo. This is Izumo no Kuni's newest brewery, created (reborn) last year. Naturally, it was the first time for us to visit. The image of sake in this area is that of powerful sake-like sake, all of which are unique. This sake is unique in the sense that it is, but the image has been overturned. It is very fruity and lightly sweet and sour, with a pleasant citrus bitterness spreading from the sweetness and acidity. The mouthfeel is clear and crisp. It is a wonderful bottle as a food sake. ❣️ We will keep an eye on it in the future: ‼️

Japanese>English

Overall 9 (out of 10) I had my first Shimane sake 🍶😃. I got it from Pekho-san. According to the description of the sake shop It's a "fruity and full of flavor" sake! Delicious 😋. It is a light, astringent and delicious 🍶. More of a sense of breadth than a sense of depth. Simple and straight rather than complex and harmonious Consistent throughout rather than a change in flavor. The astringency brings out the umami of the rice in a good way. I got such an impression 😋. It was gone in no time at all😅 I served it chilled. The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows. 　-Aroma: A strong aroma of rice. 　-Aroma: Slightly astringent taste that passes through the nose. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum) 　-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1 　-Rice flavor: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt】→3 Small number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

I went to Tabe Takeshita Sake Brewery and Sake Brewery Museum 😆. But all the sake was sold out there 😭 So I went to a liquor store that sells this sake and bought Rihachi👍. I wanted to drink it and I couldn't bear to end up not being able to buy it 😣. But I'm glad I was able to buy it safely 😌. I've had this drink before and I know it's good, so I feel safe drinking it 😌. I wasn't sure whether to buy Rihachi's white label or black label, but this time I went with this one ✨. It's consistently delicious 😋.

I was reading "kuribayashi" with all my might 😆. I'm embarrassed 🫣. I see you read it as "Ritsurin" 😊. The aroma is mild, the taste is soft, and the cup never stops 🍶. I think it performs great as a food sake. I noticed it was gone lol.

Kuririn drinking comparison, followed by Kanazawa Nishine The light orange one. This one has a gentle sweetness and moist flavor! It is a sake that will make you feel tender with just one sip. Even Putin should try this one! I was surprised to see such a difference in flavor just because it was grown in the same town, but in a different area. Hmmm! It's so deep! Both are delicious, but I personally prefer Rokugo Higashine. Thank you very much for the food!

Purchased at Yokohama Takashimaya Rice used is Kame-no-o type Koshihikari produced in Kasama City The alcohol is a little strong, but the taste is smooth and not like an unfiltered draft. It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness and is refreshingly clean❣️. There aren't many unfiltered sake that are good all-around food sake, but this one seems to go well with all kinds of food❣️.

Japanese>English

Well, it has a solid rice feeling and no acidity ☺️. I think it's a little light in character, but But I can't help but drink more😋. @Kasama Masuya

It was said on the SNS of the sake shop that it was a new arrival, but it was made in April of last year, so maybe it was aged in the warehouse? The aroma is light and ripe. The sweetness is fruity and the umami is firm and delicious.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!
