Next up is the Yonodori x American White Oak pairing🪵✨. We added a stick of American White Oak to the Yonodori for flavor. Originally, Yonotori has the mellowness and sweetness that only a wooden vat brewing can provide, but the addition of white oak changes the direction of the aroma. The aroma is distinctly woodier than Mizunara oak, with a mellow aroma reminiscent of vanilla. As time goes by, the aroma becomes more familiar, and a slight oaky and rounded feeling is added to the palate. The wood components blend well together, enhancing the gentle sweetness of the Yonotori, but also making the overall impression much tighter. It was as if the sake had been aged in whiskey barrels, a nuance that gave the sake a new look. The strong and fragrant aroma, which is different from that of Mizunara, is impressive, and it is hard to say which is better 😋. It was a very interesting experience to compare the drinks and rediscover the individuality of each wood and the depth of Yonotori 🍶.

Next up was the "Yonotori x Mizunara" pairing experience 🪵✨. Originally, Yonotori has a soft woody aroma derived from the wooden vat brewing process, and we added a stick of mizunara oak to flavor it further. The woody, gentle aroma unique to mizunara gradually melts into the sake over time, giving it more depth of flavor. The first sip accentuates the balance of Yonotori's inherent sweetness and acidity, and as the second half of the sip progresses, the fragrance of mizunara gradually spreads, adding calmness and depth to the overall flavor. The way the aroma transfers is never too strong, adding an elegant nuance like that of barrel-aged sake, and the lingering finish is very pleasant. The more you drink, the more mellow it becomes, and the more you enjoy the changes in flavor, which is another charm of this pairing. The warmth of the wood and the quietness of the sake. Again, it was very delicious 😋🍶.

The next one I got was Yonotori x Coffee Bean ☕️✨ The bitterness of the coffee beans nestled in the sweetness of the kijoshu, making it taste like a sweet and bitter dessert. Not only was it sweet, but the addition of the coffee flavor gave it depth and made it a much more mature drink 😋. I think a lot of people will be addicted to this! I was reminded once again of the depth of Yonotori's nostalgia.

This time, I participated in an event to enjoy drinking Shinmasa "Yonotori" in various ways! 🍶✨ The first thing we were served was the Yonotori and watermelon gelato 🍉🍨! The refreshing watermelon was perfectly blended with the sweetness and tartness of kijo sake, and I couldn't help but think, "This is a good idea! The taste will make you say, "This is a good idea! It was a refreshing, summery dessert pairing with the depth of sake. I feel like I've discovered a new side to Yonotori, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here ✨.

Good morning, Choro! What a fascinating and fun event 😍! Sake drinking is becoming more and more popular these days, and I'm looking forward to enjoying it in many different ways 😋.

The first one we had at this drinking party was "Kinjaku Junmai Ginjo" ✨. Because of the impact of the name, everyone called me "Chun Chun" in a friendly way 🐦 lol Actually, although I knew the name, I had never had a chance to drink it before and this was my first experience. When I poured it into the glass, the soft aroma spread softly, and when I took a sip, it tasted sweet and mellow. It has a clean aftertaste and is very easy to drink. It is the perfect sake to accompany pleasant conversation and delicious food. This was my first encounter with "Kinjaku" and I am sure it will be a bottle that will leave a lasting impression in the future ✨.

Collaboration product🍶 by Senkou and SakeLabo Tokyo The name is "Hello World" ✨. The name comes from "the moment life was born. The name "Hello World" is derived from the moment when life is born. It expresses the moment when a drop of sake is completed, as if to say, "Hello to the world. Each drop is imbued with a deep respect for sake and the blessings contained in the pure liquid. In the mouth, this season's sake has a slightly hard finish, but this is a unique characteristic that makes it interesting. The clarity and core flavor typical of Sentori are still present, and the depth that "makes the drinker think" was appealing. It was a truly joyful moment for me to finally have a bottle that I had been looking forward to for a long time 😋✨ As the name suggests, I am grateful for the experience as if I had encountered a new world.

Otter Otter Sparkling 🍶✨ From the moment it is poured into the glass, the gorgeous aroma of this junmai daiginjo 🌸 spreads. The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki, the king of sake rice, and its full sweetness and elegant flavor can be felt. In addition, the delicate carbonation produced by the secondary fermentation in the bottle is very refreshing as it pops in the mouth. The color is slightly cloudy with a silky texture. The sweetness, acidity, and slight bubbles are in perfect harmony, making it a luxurious drinking experience, like an adult sparkling wine 🥂✨. Not only is it a perfect toast as an aperitif, but it is also versatile enough to be enjoyed with Japanese and Western food and desserts. I thought it was a bottle that would add a touch of flair to celebrations for special occasions. Otter's Nigori Sparkling is gorgeous, yet easy to drink and pleasantly enjoyable to the last drop. I was very satisfied with its silky, schwarmy taste 😋💫.

We received a bottle of Ozeki Shuzo's "Sakura-michi" 🌸. This is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu made with 100% cherry blossom yeast from "Imazu Benikanzakura" and the highest grade of sake rice, Yamadanishiki, produced in Hyogo Prefecture ✨. When poured into a glass, it is light and soft on the palate, like cherry blossom petals softly dancing. The elegant acidity of the cherry blossom yeast and the moist sweetness of the rice from Yamadanishiki are in perfect harmony and gently spread in the mouth. The aftertaste disappears smoothly and cleanly, with a pleasant lingering finish. The aroma is subdued, so it goes well with not only Japanese food, but also Western food and light appetizers, and can be enjoyed on any occasion. It is a bottle with a spring-like appearance and name that will add a touch of color to your dining table. It was a sake that I would definitely like to taste during the cherry blossom season and that I could feel the delicate expression that only the Ozeki Sake Brewery can offer 😋🌸.

Ezo Fuji This is a special sake made from Hokkaido-born sake rice "Comet" and brewed at Hakkaisan, a prestigious sake brewery in Niigata. The "lightness" that is characteristic of Comet is brought out by Hakkaisan's highly polished techniques, resulting in a beautiful fusion of the two unique characteristics. When poured into a glass, it has a gorgeous apple fruit aroma🍎. The fresh and elegant aroma tickles the senses. In the mouth, a soft sweetness blends into the clear, transparent taste, and you can enjoy a refreshing yet deep flavor. The lightness of the wine leaves an elegant aftertaste that makes you want to drink more and more of it. The bottle is designed by Soichiro Tomioka, a painter from Takada, Joetsu City. The modern, yet soothing world view is in harmony with the quality of the sake and adds to its special character. This sake evokes the climate and culture of two lands, Hokkaido and Niigata. It was a sake to be savored carefully, the ultimate in refined lightness 😋✨.

This time it is "Kuroryu Hiiraju" 🔥. It is the pinnacle of Kuroryu Shuzo's pride and joy in nama-shu, a Junmai Daiginjo-shu. The name "Hiiraju" was taken from the woodblocks used for the first draft sake in the early Meiji period, giving this bottle a sense of history and tradition. The label and bottle design are sophisticated, stylish, and special from the moment you pick it up. The first thing you notice when pouring it into a glass is its fresh and fresh aroma. It is gorgeous and elegant, but not too showy, leaving a clean impression. In the mouth, it has a delicate and soft mouthfeel, and the clear flavor of Junmai Daiginjo spreads, with a pleasant aftertaste that disappears quickly and comfortably. It combines the freshness typical of nama-shu with the dignity of Kuroryu. It is versatile as a food sake and goes well not only with Japanese food, but also with cheese and light Western food. Above all, it is easy to drink and has a pleasant taste that makes you want to drink more. This is exactly what I would call a "special occasion sake" ✨.

今回は「新政タンジェリン」🍊 火入酒である Colors シリーズに新たに加わった一本です。原料米には、1959年に東北農業試験場で誕生した「フクノハナ」を使用。クラシカルな背景を持ちながらも、現代的な洗練さを感じさせる新政らしい挑戦的な仕上がりになっています。グラスを近づけると、柔らかく上品な香り。口に含むと最初に感じるのは優しいアタックで、米の旨みがじんわり広がり、その後すっと切れていくキレの良さが印象的でした。甘味と酸味のバランスが絶妙で、名前の「タンジェリン」を思わせるような爽やかさがあり、火入酒でありながらフレッシュさをしっかり感じられます。 Colors シリーズの中でも、米の個性と新政らしい醸造の美学が光る一本で、「食中酒」としても万能。軽やかながら奥深さもあり、つい盃が進んでしまう味わいでした😋

tokiwa (Japanese crested ibis) A special collaboration with the highly popular select store "United Arrows". Brewed with carefully selected Yamadanishiki and using Niigata Prefecture's original yeast, G74. Using the Tenryohai Shuzo's unique brewing techniques, this bottle is a fire-aged sake that retains a fresh texture. It has a taste that is unique to Garakudai, but has a slightly different expression from the rest of the lineup, a taste that can only be achieved through collaboration.

The last of our Miyamanishiki drinking comparison is the Kahayokyu Miyamanishiki Premium ✨. The aroma rising from the glass is full-blown fruity, as is typical of Hanaoyukyu, with a juicy aroma that reminds one of ripe pineapple🍍. When you take a sip, a light sweetness spreads at first, followed by a hint of acidity on the tip of the tongue. This acidity enhances the freshness of the wine, giving the impression of a more beautiful overall balance. The word "beautiful" is the perfect word to describe this wine. It has a gorgeous mouthfeel, but the aftertaste is light and disappears quickly. It has a special feeling among the other wines in the comparison, and as the name suggests, it has a "premium" finish. The harmony of acidity and sweetness, which is different from the softness of nigori and junmai daiginjo, stands out, making it a must-try for fans of Hanaoyokyu. It was the perfect cup to end on a "delicious after all 😋" note ✨.

I had a glass of Hanahayo Biyamanishiki Junmai Daiginjo 🍶✨. The aroma that rises when poured into the glass is very beautiful and elegant. It is fruity yet refreshing, and gives a sense of delicacy amidst its gorgeousness. The sweetness and umami that spreads smoothly in the mouth is exquisite, and there is almost no bitterness in the aftertaste, giving the impression of a very clear and easy drinking sake. It has a clear, transparent flavor that is typical of junmai daiginjos, with no cloying taste, so it does not interfere with meals, and can be enjoyed on its own. In particular, its fruity aroma and gentle mouthfeel are pleasant and make you want to drink more. Compared to the junmai ginjos and nigori that I have had in the past, I felt the quality and refined atmosphere that only a junmai daiginjo can offer. It was a sake that I could honestly say was delicious with its gorgeousness and Miyamanishiki charm that is typical of Hana-yoso ✨.

Hanayokyu Miyamanishiki Nigori ✨ This is a very rare nigori that I finally came across! I was thrilled to get it for the first time and was excited before opening it 🥹. The aroma is silky when poured into a glass. When I opened the bottle...the cork flew out 💥😳 It was exactly the kind of vigor that only nigori can give! In the mouth, the pineapple🍍 feeling was in full bloom and the shrieking freshness was irresistible ✨ A burst of sweetness and juiciness made this a truly delicious drink 😋.

HANAHODAKU BIYAMANNISHIKI Comparison! First, Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki 🍶✨. The moment it is poured into the glass, the aroma is fruity, like apples and pineapples. The juicy pineapple flavor rushes into the mouth, followed by a hint of bitterness that adds a nice accent 😋✨. The balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness is exquisite, and you will never get tired of drinking it. It was a bottle that allowed me to fully enjoy the "Huayouyasama style"!
