I forgot I had bought it.
You can't keep it in the cellar.
Better to drink the sake that arrives fresh as soon as possible.
I went to the trouble of buying good sake...
Lao Xiang~
What a waste!
Purchased a regular sake and a sake recommended by the clerk at a liquor store that is hard to come by.
Sake that is easy to drink even if it is Yamahai
Common type
Late autumn, footbath and autumn leaves 🍁.
A good combination!
Iroha Ni Hohe" in front of Morioka Station
Sashi-Drinking with Friends from Maker Days
When I was a student, I entered Irohani Hoho.
After toasting with 🍺, we ordered akabu because it was available.
I don't remember what it tasted like because we were talking so much...
It was easy to drink and a little sour.
Easy to drink and no memory of the taste is a good thing!
It is indeed Iwate's No.1 sake.
I bought it because I thought it looked kind of tasty.
I drink it with 1:1 strong carbonation...
I drank it several times, but it always made my stomach hurt.
My wife said it made her shoulders stiff.
It's easy to drink, though.
I heard that some drinks make you feel excited and some make you feel down.
Your first sake brewery.
Of course, I drank it for the first time.
The initial aroma is sweet like syrup.
As the temperature rises, it has a graininess and a bitter aftertaste.
When it is cooled down, the bitterness is lessened and it is drinkable...
After the bottle was opened, it was tasty with little stimulation.
After opening the bottle, it was tasty with little stimulation, but after less than a week, the bitterness became more pronounced.
It's not good if you don't drink it right away.
Maybe I should leave it a little longer...
This is a craft saké by Lagoon Brewery in Fukushima Lagoon, Niigata.
Shozora or someone else might know a little bit about it.
I won it in a drawing.
Not popular? It's minor...
But the price is high...(^^)
Plum, tea and sake? What a combination...
Unthinkable.
They said it was fermented with dispensed plum wine + tea husks + rice.
Anything is possible, isn't it?
Why is it so expensive?
It's a profit-seeking company.
It smells like plum wine. (Strong sourness).
No sweetness in the mouth.
You will be betrayed.
It's like a light and refreshing Niigata-style sake, or maybe it's the tea that refreshes the taste.
It's refreshing, but the taste of ume lingers in the mouth.
The aftertaste is astringent green tea.
The aroma that comes out from the nose is also green tea.
It is betrayed at every turn.
It is said to be limited to 378 bottles, but I wonder how many people think it is good...
I'll try not to be fooled anymore.
I've had enough of this brewery.
The second drink of Sendai Night, this is also an instrument that I rarely buy myself.
It tastes better than the one in the carton.
I thought it was a special junmai Omachi.
I thought it was a cheap and tasty instrument, but the price of junmai sake has come down to a certain level.
After the Motoharu Sano concert, I had a quick drink before returning to the hotel.
Jikin is 800 yen per sake? That's cheaper than Kafuda and Hiroki...
They were out of stock, but...
I hadn't had a bottle of Hifuroki for a while, so I chose this one.
It's kind of watery...
Isn't it filled with water?
It's easy to drink, but...
Was it like this?
Is it light because it's Koshi-tanrei?
It's been a while, so I don't know,
I found this at a locksmith shop.
I've always had the image of a store that's not very friendly.
Today I tried talking to the young clerk.
You can get a squeaky clean reception.
I guess my grandfather's not good enough.
Well, I hope you sell it to me.
I didn't think the glasses-only was collaborating with Machida Sake Brewery...I'll have to buy this one.
This time, too, it comes with a glasses cleaning cloth.
Now, open the bottle. It smells like ginjo.
The melon flavor is quite strong.
Slightly effervescent, this is delicious.
I wonder if the 6 breweries sell this as a "glasses-only" sake.
Hagino Shuzo is doing a great job!
This is the kind of thing I want to support 📣.
I went to the Motoharu Sano concert in Sendai, celebrating his 45th anniversary!
It was a full house and the average age of the audience was high!
I know...
I couldn't even hear his voice well...
What's that, an hour performance with a 20 minute break? (I've never done this before)...
Mr. Sano is in his 70s, right?
I didn't know 2/3 of the 30 song set list.
I'm not sure I'd like to hear the new songs...
He's not a good talker...
Angelina, Sameday, and Glass Generation were a lot of fun, though.
I'll get back on track and see Tatsuro Yamashita perform 2025 at the end of this month!
No intermission here, and his voice was so loud...
Tatsuro Yamashita is a stable member of the band!
I visited a liquor store in Morioka city for the first time in a while.
I haven't been to the store recently, so I ran out of stock of my usual drink...
I found a bottle of Bida that I had never seen before, so I bought it.
It was a limited edition sake, and I've been drinking it for some reason.
It is certainly different from the usual Mita.
I don't know what it's assemblage is with, but I don't have an explanation.
First attack is dry, a bit bitter?
Changed to a comparison with Suitama.
I was drinking Suitama as I prefer it.
Bida's dry taste and bitterness disappeared.
It is the type that becomes easier to drink when the temperature changes.
It's been a long time since I've been to Suidama.
I found it at a liquor store in Noshiro.
I had never seen Suitama with a printed label.
The clerk told me that they had just received a new shipment.
I bought it because it was Yamadanishiki and I was sure it would be delicious.
The taste did not disappoint!
It is alcoholic but not unpleasant.
Laughing Four Seasons is the only place to buy in Morioka City.
Key shop.
I sometimes want to drink Laughing Season.
But this tropical sunset is new to me.
The orange color of the bottle is reminiscent of a sunset.
The sake itself is not colored.
The acidity was strong, like a summer sake, like Senkou.
Maybe because it is made from nama-moto (sake brewing process).
But it is not a low-alcohol sake, so you can't gobble it down.
However, as I drank more, the acidity became less of an issue.
I bought this year's "Tawawa" after reading a post on Sake-no-Wawa that it was well made this year.
Alcoholic taste is strong.
It has a slight scent of old age.
Not my favorite type.
I guess it's good warmed up.
I'm not good at it.
I've never seen this before at the liquor store I always stop by at work...
Hiragana "takaji".
I had to buy it.
I immediately opened the bottle. It tastes like something I've had somewhere before.
If I remember, I'll write an oyster.
It tastes fresh and has an aftertaste of wooden barrels.
Yesterday, I conquered the easternmost point of Honshu.
I heard it was only 3k from the parking lot, so I decided to go there...
I was naive, it takes 1 hour one way.
I underestimated the mountain road.
It's hard for lack of exercise.
We finally made it,
But the weather was nice and the view was great.
On the way there, we stopped at a restaurant? The ramen noodles with natural wakame seaweed and mekabu was delicious. ‼️
Good morning, Gonyi Goh-san. You must be Steller's sea lion! I'd like to visit there once, but I'm afraid of bears and I need a car to get there. Did you get a certificate? The wakame ramen looks delicious. It's so green and green.
Nochi-san, I don't think bears can come in because of the slope of the mountain road. Certificate? Where do I get it?
I had ramen at a restaurant called "Enyaa Dotto". The soup is delicious with mekabu (a kind of mushroom).
Nochi-san, please don't worry about it.
Everyone makes mistakes...
If you make a mistake next time, "You know what I mean." ❗️
I'll be like, "Holy shit!
Iwaizumi yogurt, made famous by Ootanisan. Collaboration with Nanbu Bijin?
When I went to Ryusendo Cave, I found something I had never seen before frozen.
I guess they freeze it for tourists.
Just as well it had melted by the time we got back to the hotel.
I bought one for my wife, but isn't it expensive at just under 3,500 yen? (Tourist spot price, huh?)
I heard it tasted pretty good, so I guess it's OK.
We took a short detour to Yokohora Farm.
I heard that the butter and pudding were delicious, but... they only sell them online.
I was able to meet the manager of the farm, and we decided to visit the farm. I got to experience milking a cow.
The cows here are free-range, but they seem to come down the mountain on their own and let us milk them.
(She was milking while eating a snack.)
I was surprised to see cows waiting for their turn to be milked. Not only ningen, but cows line up too...
We also got some freshly milked milk🥛.
It was rich yet refreshing.
The cow has such pretty eyes. She's a beauty!
After milking, she went back to the mountain with her kids.
Last weekend I was back at my parents' house mowing the grass.
Took my dad and I 3 hours to do 1/3 of it.
The rest will be next month.
Brought Hana Yuu for a saki-kun with my dad.
My mom tasted it and said it was delicious.
The autumn sky has finally come. But is corn still in season? The corn here is sweet 😋.
Hello, GoonyiGo!
Thank you for taking me out to harvest rice🌾.
The bright red sky is beautiful too🌆.
Mr. Hanamup's Omachi is delicious 😋.
Your mother must have been very happy and the sweetness must have been sinking in after a hard day's work 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-san. Sorry for the late reply. I wish I could have harvested rice, but it was a grass cutting that turned out to be nothing. My mother went out with me because she liked the sweet taste of the flower oups.
White on the last day of the holidays
This is delicious 😋!
Yellow malted rice and white malted rice, well thought out!
Niimasa is like a white wine
I think this kind of wine is good 🆗.
The first attack is soft and the umami is well expressed.
I was surprised to see many couples and families visiting shrines today.
I was surprised to see quite a few couples and families.
One point on my car, a onyanma was taking a rest. (^^)
Good evening, Gonya Goh 🌇I haven't seen any onyanma lately 😂.
I was so surprised the other day when I saw a pied flycatcher perched on my sauna window, it was a sticker 🤣.
Hello, Manachie. I think dragonflies themselves are few this year.
The chirping of the brown-headed cowbird was also short.
We also have a dragonfly in front of our front door to keep insects away.
The second day of the holiday was pink.
It is not too alcoholic and has a good balance, but it comes with a bang.
Today I renewed my driver's license, so I went to a nearby temple (smelling like an old man).
There was a powerful temple gate and an interesting arhat nearby.
I haven't purchased an Imi in 3 years.
And I was able to buy 3 bottles!
And it's the first time for all three
It's my 5xx birthday, so I'm opening all three bottles.
I'm sure I won't be able to do such a luxurious drinking comparison again.
The taste is the hardest to drink out of the three. (It tastes good, though.) The first impression I had was that it had a strong alcohol taste.
My first impression is that it has a strong alcohol taste.
It comes with a thump.
The flavor is overshadowed by the alcohol.
I wonder if it will settle down as time goes by...
Good evening, Goonyi Go!
Happy 5xxth birthday 🎉!
I'm so happy for you and your family!
The comparison of the three kinds of sake is a great way to celebrate 🤤 ⤴️
Good morning to you, GoonyiGo😃!
Happy 🥲5 🥲5 ◯ birthday 🎂Happy birthday 🎊 to you 🎉Imi's drinking competition is such a memorable birthday celebration 🎊! Wish I could have been there 😆.
Thank you, ma-ki...I suddenly looked in the cellar and found some Sagami, so I decided to take this opportunity to drink it and put it away. (I decided to take this opportunity to drink it and put it away.)
Thank you, Jay & Nobby...I thought we were the same generation, but you are my senior. (my apologies) Iwate has a relatively good chance to buy it if the timing is right. I was thinking of doing it again next year.
Always and in good health: ✌️
We are so close in age, aren't we? I'm two years younger than you.
The older I get, the faster and faster time seems to pass!
I'm afraid 😱.
