( *´꒳` )️🍶🍶🍶🍶 本日は初めての新澤醸造店の飛龍を頂きました😀 香りはあまり感じませんね🤔口当たりは、軽快でリンゴを思わせる心地よい吟醸香😘綺麗でサラリとした甘味と旨味が、パッと広がって消える😚爽やかな酸味の切れが良き👍✨ 綺麗な食中酒の様に感じました🥳

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

A bowl of oden at an oden shop in Shizuoka Station. I had no idea about this brand. The best part of traveling is being able to drink this kind of local sake with local food 😆. A little sweet and full, with a clean dry finish. It is not flashy, but there is no alcohol feeling that lingers in the throat and it is very smooth to drink 😄. It goes great with Shizuoka oden, which is a thick, dark broth with fishmeal, and if we weren't on a family trip, we would be drinking it endlessly 😅.... Also, I had a local B gourmet dish called "Motsuru Curry" for the first time, which was also very tasty👍👍!

Junmai one-cup of Koyoromo. This is the first time to drink Koyoromo. It is an orthodox Junmai sake, not heavy and refreshing, but it also has a hidden luster. I see that the brewery makes all of its sake from junmai sake. The label is Hiroshige's 53 Stages of the Tokaido, Nisaka.

I was curious about the label "for advanced drinkers" and bought it. It has a peculiar aroma like an old sake, with a hint of sourness. Thick taste Not easy to drink, but I like it very much.

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

Junmai sake with a new sensation. It has a sweetness of rice and a slight sourness that you have never had before. It has a peculiar taste. The taste is quite light, good for sake beginners? The alcohol content is 9 degrees, perfect for tasting with a meal, snacks, or something else. If anything, it is dry.

Looks like it would be good hot. I drank it cold 🤭. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Congratulations to Okinawa Shogaku for winning the championship. I am looking forward to next year's draft. Today we will have the Urare Shinigami: ☠️ This is the first Reaper at home. The font feeling is amazing, isn't it? The aroma is delicious vanilla and fruity grape. On the palate, there is deliciousness and sweet acidity, and the spiciness disappears after a while. Overall, it is well-balanced. It is delicious with sushi. It is the best match for oily sashimi. Delicious✨

Japanese>English

It has a subtle acidity in the aftertaste. A gentle sake that does not resemble its name at all.

Japanese>English

It's a straight-up sake! It has a strong flavor that is good! Also, I have actually visited the factory, and it's nice to see how much they care about handmade products 😋.

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

It's suddenly getting colder 🍁😨 in Morioka, too 🍁It's 3℃ in the morning 😨On days like that, I warm up this one that I got from you before 🍶 and it warms me up 😌. 　First, let's start with the aroma. The first thing you notice is the aroma, which is a hint of sake, with a hint of rice ear and a hint of alcohol. In the mouth, the soft sweetness of the rice along with the acidity permeates all five organs. Ahhh, delicious 🤤. 　Salmon grilled with spicy mayo and a dash of sudachi. The richness of the mayo, the flavor of the salmon, and the acidity of the sudachi bring out the acidity and slight sweetness of this sake, creating a sense of unity that further envelops the whole 👍. Alcohol content】15度以上16度未満 Snacks] Grilled salmon with spicy mayo
