Winter Nigorinpic 21 This is the first Tengu Mai I've ever had, and actually the first Tengu Mai I've ever had other than nigori 🤣. Just hearing the name Tengu Mai, I had a strong feeling that it was a great sake 😅. I thought I could handle nigori sake, so this is my first Tengu Mai 😇. You can't really tell from the picture, but about a third of the bottle is precipitated by the ori 🤣. It's almost like a dobrok 😅. Even with this much sedimentation, I was able to get the supernatant 😀. The supernatant was a solid sake with the atmosphere of Tengu Mai, which is a traditional sake made in the mountains 😀. As soon as it was mixed with the ori, it transformed into a completely different sake 🤣. I was really surprised to see such a change in sake for the first time 🤣‼️ It was a very smooth and not so sweet amazake with a strong alcohol content 🤣. I've never had a sake with such a different taste from the supernatant, and I've never had a sake with this flavor either, so I'm surprised 😀. I was surprised that I've never tasted such a different sake before 😀 But it was the famous Tengumai that you can't smell the aroma when pouring it with Junmai, but when you drink it, you can even taste the ginjo aroma in the robust flavor😇.

Winter Nigorinpic 20 Finally, the Nigorinpik has reached its 20th bottle 😇! Of course, this is the first time for me to drink Ozeyuki's light nigori 😀. It has a fruity aroma that is typical of junodai, but the taste is also fruity and melon-like 😀. The label of this Ozeyuki was a very beautiful green color, so the image of the label may have pulled me in 🤣.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. Reached 20 bottles 😳 great! It's rare for a brewery to designate something like #melon on the back label, but it's definitely melon 😁.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Yasbay😄. I'm already on my 20th bottle! Oze snow here, good one 🥰I've been wanting to try this one but I can't seem to find it 😭 melon🍈, sounds delicious 😍.

ぺっほ

Good evening, Yasube! I like the melon type 🩷I think the color of the bottle and the design of the label can have an effect on the sense of taste from the visual sense 😊, but if that's what the creators are aiming for, I can get in on it too 🍈 just reading ❣️ looks delicious🍈.

Hi Aladdin 😀 I visited Aladdin and saw the label on the back and it indeed says #melon 🍈. I wonder if the brewery was aware of this and made it a beautiful green label ❓😇 But you know it well😇

Hi, HinaHanaMama 😀 The liquor store I frequent has had it in stock for a long time and I hesitated a few times before finally buying it 🤣. I started nigori stocking early so my fridge was full and I pretty much gave up on some of the sake 😅.

Winter Nigorinpik 19 This is a sake prepared for the hanpukai by my regular liquor store😇 I was a little disappointed because I thought I was covered since this one came in the hanpukai sake after I originally bought the Winter Session... but I was betrayed in a good way 🤣. The amount of cage sedimentation is almost the same visually, and the automatic stirring ollidance behaved the same after a few seconds of opening the bottle even though it was kept at freezing temperatures😅. The aroma was also almost identical 😀. The difference is the taste in your mouth 😀. As I mentioned before, Winter Session also tasted delicious, but the basic taste direction was the same but clearer and more transparent😇. The specs of this sake are totally secret, so all I know is that both have the same alcohol content of 14 😅. The Winter Session was written as 55% polished rice, so my guess is that this sake is more highly polished ❓😇😇

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィ

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. The oridance 💃 is synchronized and the scent is the same... and with this look we won't be able to tell the difference 😅If you write down the specs, we'll be pulled in by them 😆.

Good evening, Yasube-san. I know it's a little late, but I look forward to working with you again this year. But it's a great comparison! The label of "Yamazatobuki" is unique. Yamabusyu is unique with its usual label and this cute label 😇.

Japanese>English

コタロー

Good evening, Yasube! I saw this on social media and was curious ✨I couldn't get to Kadoya so I had to keep my fingers crossed🤣The specs are a secret, aren't they? I didn't realize even the cute label was bespoke ☺️ I'll be drinking the regular version with my imagination 😝.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀 In my case, I managed to tell the difference because I compared the drinks side by side, but if I drank them separately, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference🤣. This is why I can't stop comparing drinks🤣.

Sake-run, I know it's a bit late to say hello to you too, but please do me a favor this year 🙇. I'm glad to know that with hanpukai, you can get unexpected sakes 😇. But sometimes there is a double possibility, and when that happens, I'm shocked😅.

Good evening, Kotaro 😀 I see you knew about this on social networking sites 😀 I didn't think that the secret meaning was specs undisclosed 🤣. Sometimes with a hanpukai, you get hit with interesting projects😇.

Hi Yasbaye 🐦. It's a true secret 😳I think it's quintessential that you can feel the difference & make a prediction 😊👍✨I don't know, I don't know, I'm going to lose it while I'm drinking it 😂.

New Year Sake Walking 2️⃣ The second brewery we visited was Kyohime Sake Brewery😇. This brewery doesn't offer tasting, so we went to the nearby Aburinaga for a paid tasting 😀. Actually, Keihan and Kintetsu are currently running a joint event called "Sake Brewery Stamp Rally" where you can get a stamp and a label 😇. I was told that Kyohime Sake Brewery's stamps and labels are available at Aburinaga, so I went to this store to taste and purchase 😀. The only Kyo Hime sake they had open at this store was their Daiginjo, so we were able to compare it with a sake from the brewery they recommended 😀. Kyo Hime's Daiginjo was also delicious and refreshing, but unfortunately we decided to buy the Junmai Daiginjo, which was not open and could not be drunk 🤣. I'm looking forward to drinking it at home eventually😇 Today's walk was 12 km... just the right distance 🤣.

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Good morning, Yasbay🐥. I thought I've never been to Kyohime before, but I see they don't do tastings! Maybe that's why you gave up 🤔I see there is a place where you can do it in your neighborhood... I'll go there next time 😊🙏.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Good evening, Pon 😀. Kyohime-san doesn't seem to be selling or tasting at all😅. Aburacho is good for tasting sake from all the breweries in Fushimi for a reasonable price😇. After paying, Kaorin asked me if it was that cheap? Because 🤣.

New Year Sake Activity Walking 1️⃣ The last of our New Year Sake Activity came to Fushimi, Kyoto 😀. First, we paid a visit to Fushimi Inari-san and then circled the top of Mt. From there, we visited Mikamiya Shrine, famous for its famous sake brewing water, Gokomizu, and then went on a tour of the sake breweries in Fushimi 😀 First, we visited Tomiou, a brewery that brews sake. First, we visited Kitagawa Honke, the brewer of Tomiou 😀. The tasting was Junmai Daiginjo, directly pumped from the bottle and its suzu nigori 😀. It was a delicious sake with a refreshing taste from start to finish🙆. The store's specialty was Junmai Daiginjo Naokumi, but what we bought to take home was also Usunigori🤣. But this Naokumi was certainly a delicious sake too 🙆.

Winter Nigorinpic 18 After a short break from the Shinshu Tsurukame drinking contest, I would like to return to the Nigorinpik again 😇. From today, we will start the comparison of Yamazan no Kotobuki 😀. After purchasing this Winter Session, a very similar sake from Yamanobusyu came in from the hanpukai 🤣. I was a bit shocked to see the same sake, but upon closer inspection it was a bit different 😅. This is where my interest grew 😇 Let's compare the difference between the two 🙆 First, I'll have this Winter Session that is available on the market😇. My impression after drinking it is a delicious adult Calpis soda 😀. The fizzy feeling of carbonation mixed with the sweetness of sourness that reminds us of lactic acidity, it was a very well made drink😇. Tomorrow I would like to enjoy a comparison with a similar looking sake called Himitsu 😀.

Japanese>English

Hi Yasbay 😃 I'm looking forward to the results of the comparison of the two bottles of this series by Yamazan no Kotobuki!

Hatsumode to the three major sake gods of Japan is complete 😀. Following the visit to Umemiya-taisha Shrine from Matsuo-taisha Shrine in Kyoto on New Year's Day 2, today we came to visit Nara Ojinja Shrine from the Bodhi Hashimoto Sake Festival at Shoreki-ji Temple 🙏. My hope is that everyone at Sake-no-wa will have good luck with sake this year😇. And the blessings came early 😇 On the way back to Miwa station, we got a limited edition sake for the year of the snake from Imanishi Sake Brewery in front of the Miwa station 😀. This was 🙆It was so delicious! The moderately effervescent and bouncy fruity taste was fresh and delicious 😀. I drank the paid tasting of one cup with Kaorin, but it was soon empty 🤣. I'm going to buy some and have her join the ongoing Nigorinpik in a hurry 😀.

From the driest one, Kikuji, to the sweetest one, Takacho, each brewery has its own unique flavor. I felt that Kikuji was a delicious sake, whereas last year I only felt that it was spicy 🤣.

Shoreki-ji Bodai-Hashimoto Sake Festival 1️⃣ Today we participated in a festival where 7 breweries in Nara gathered at Shoreki-ji Temple, which is said to be the birthplace of sake in Japan, to make Bodhi Hashiro sake 😀. Following last year's event, it is a 6 km one-way hike up the mountain from the JR Obioki station at the foot of the temple 😀. Last year, I participated in the festival without knowing anything about it, and I was served this Bodai Sen, a sake brewed by restoring the old sake, and I think I have grown a little in the past year because I could understand the sake that I only felt the sourness of lactic acid bacteria 😇. However, at this price, I could barely taste one glass of sake because I didn't dare to buy it 🤣.

New Year Shinshu Tsurukame drinking combination😇 Yesterday was Gokotsuru's Junmai, so today I decided on Junmai 🐢 😀. It's been a while, or actually the first clear sake of the year since we were currently in Nigorinpik 😇. First of all, I adopted Kaorin's opinion and warmed it up to lukewarm 😇. It's still dry, but the fruity part of the flavor is more pronounced and I could feel the depth of the flavor more 😀. The 🐢san...of course it's delicious, but since I've only been drinking 🐢san hi-ire recently, I could feel more fruity and fresh sharpness 😇. I knew it would be delicious on draft🙆

Winter Nigorinpic 17 As in New Year's Day, today I would like to start drinking together with my favorite Tsurukame from Nagano, Shinshu 😇. The Tsuru is Mikotsuru's dry junmai ogara-mi and the Kame will be the first clear sake of the year 🐢. Today we opened a bottle of Gokotsuru's dry junmai orikagara, which has a strong spiciness as it claims to be dry 😅. Especially the top clear sake served at room temperature has a very strong taste 😅. This is a very hard taste for Kaorin 🤣. Kaorin was given the cooled version and the tightly mixed version, she made a face when she put it in her mouth, but the fruity finish at the end was nicely gone and she was satisfied with the taste 😇. It's such a robust taste, even for those who don't like dry wine. I'm impressed with Miko's ability to convince even those who don't like dry wine 😇.

Winter Nigorinpic 15 I had made a full-fledged nigori until yesterday, but I would like to leave Senkou's Yukidharma behind and go for a slightly lighter nigori type 😀. I'm going to open a bottle of Garakudai's Yukishita-san, known as Masayo-san in the sake world 😀. I know that Maru-san's tastes are similar to ours, so I know it's delicious from the beginning 😇 Yes, it's delicious😇 Compared to yesterday's nigori, I felt more fruitiness as it was less cloudy 😀. I think I can taste the difference in taste more with the light nigori 😇

Japanese>English

Happy New Year, Yasube-san 🎍. Masayo-san's Yukishita is a real treat, isn't it? As Kotaro-san mentioned, there are different labels for the same production year. Mine was a different label. Why? I don't know 🧐.

Good morning, Kotaro 😀. The different color of the label is a mystery 😅. I did a lot of research on the internet but nothing is listed 🤣. It would be a surprise if the taste is different between what I and Kotaro-san drank and Maru-san's 🤣.

Good morning, Yasube! I used to think that if nigori sake continued to be nigori, it would be clear sake, but it's nice to be able to drink different types of sake with different nigori styles! You are indeed a nigori-st ✨

Good evening, Pon! Nigori sake can be enjoyed in so many different ways, it's hard to stop 🤣. Even though it's called nigori type, it has a different taste if it's light nigori or ogurimi 😇.

Winter Nigorinpic 14 Yesterday, we had our first Hirotogawa nigori sake, so today we will compare them with Hanazumi sake which was recommended by Manachie😇! As you can see in the picture, we had Ona-san, Jikin-san, Hirotogawa-san, and Hanaizumi Nigori Sake 😇! This was the most fun drinking comparison 😀. Each sake had a slightly different nuance, but each had a fruity sweetness that was not clingy, so it was really hard to choose one over the other 😇. I haven't had Sengoku's Yukidharma yet this season, but I would definitely rank Yukidharma, Ona, Hanaizumi, Jikin, and Hirotogawa as the top five nigorizake in my opinion 😀. From tomorrow, I'd like to take a break from nigori sake and move on to light nigori 😀. I'm going to take a break from Sentori Yuki Dharma and do the Dharma comparison again 🤣.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 I'm afraid that if the deliciousness of Ona Nigori-san spreads too widely, it will become a hard-to-find sake just like Hirotogawa-san and Jikin-san 🤣. But after all, good sake is good sake😇

Winter Nigorinpik 13 Today we open a bottle of Hirotogawa's nigori. I was not able to get this sake last year because the release date of Hirotogawa Nigori-ne near my office did not coincide with the day I went to the store, so I never went to the store on the few times it was in stock 🤣. I knew it was good from your posts but I had my fingers in my mouth for a year 😅. I finally got it for the first time this year and drank it for the first time😇 It tasted similar to Jikin Nigori. It tasted similar to Jikin Nigori but with more delicious fruitiness 🤣. Of course, the fact that it was opened later than the Jikin may have made it taste more fruity, but it was just as delicious as rumored 😇

First, Umemiya-taisha shrine: ⛩️ The sake served here was by Gekkeikan 😀. The sake we bought was from Sasaki Sake Brewery, which has re-labeled the label of their Jyugakudai sake exclusively for the shrine 😀. I was thrilled because I had just recently had a Shuwakimaseri featuring the main deity of the shrine, Shuwakimaseri 😇. Next, Matsuo-taisha shrine: ⛩️ It was bigger and had more worshippers than Umemiya-taisha, but still less crowded than other shrines in Kyoto 😇🙏. The sake is poured from a barrel for 200 yen when you buy a 1,000-yen barrel, and the barrels were owned by Kizakura and Kozutsumi 😇. The barrels were from Kizakura and Kozutsumi. We purchased two masu to commemorate the occasion and had both of them poured. The aroma of the wood was very fresh and the taste of the sake was more delicious than the sake we usually drink 😀. We experienced the New Year with sake: ㊗️

Hello, Yasube-san. I can only say that paying a visit to the sake god for the first time in the new year is just quintessential ✨. Pouring sake into a sake barrel is also very atmospheric 😊.

Happy New Year, Yasube-san! I see you came to Kyoto! Fushimi Inari, Heian Shrine, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, etc. are famous for Hatsumode in Kyoto, but I'm a drunk 😰, Matsuo Taisha, and Umemiya Taisha 😊. I'm looking forward to seeing you again this year 🙇.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😀. After all, the New Year is the first visit to the God of Sake. ⛩️ Since I have already visited 2 shrines in Kyoto, I will go to Shoreki-ji Temple on the 11th for the Bodhi Hashimoto Sake Festival and then to Ogami-sha Shrine to complete my visit to the 3 major sake deities😇.

Happy New Year, Ao: ㊗️ I look forward to seeing you again this year 🙇. Probably the famous temples and shrines in Kyoto will be in trouble, so I decided to visit the sake god 🤣. But thanks to you, I was able to visit slowly ⛩️

Good evening, Yasubey🦉. You are a true lover of drinking, visiting two sake gods 🥹✨I couldn't make it for New Year's, but I would love to visit you 🙏especially Umemiya-san, which I haven't been to! I'm sure you'll have lots of good things to do this year 😆👍

Hi, Pon 😀 It seems that there are quite a few worshippers in Kyoto, so I was able to enjoy a relaxing sake in the precincts of the temple, so it was a good Hatsumode 😇. On the 11th, we are planning to go from the Bodhi Hashimoto Sake Festival at Shoreki-ji Temple to visit the Ojinja Shrine 😀.

Winter Nigorinpic 12 I was wondering what to choose for the white representative against the red Chibijin 🤣. Since we are in the middle of Nigorinpic, of course I wanted to choose a nigori type for both red and white, but somehow I thought a white nigori would have a very different taste from beer 😅. I wanted a cloudy, low-alcoholic, refreshing sake that would also be suitable for beer lovers... 😅. So I chose this Masumi Sparkling Sake Orikarami. The ori is just a little bit of ori, so it looked slightly whitish 😀. The taste was just as refreshing as I imagined it would be, and even my dad, who is not used to sake, said it was delicious, so I'm glad he enjoyed it 😀.

Winter Nigorinpic 11 Annual tradition😇 On New Year's Day, we bring red and white sake to Kaorin's parents' house...although it is on the upper floor of the same apartment building😇 Kaorin's father usually only drinks beer, so we tried to choose a low-alcohol type sake that would be easy to drink😇. First of all, the red sake is LOVE PINK from Taiebijin, which was easy to drink and tasty last year😇. But ❓😅😅 It looks totally different from last year 🤣. Last year it was nigori sake and when mixed it was a beautiful cloudy pink, but this year it was an ogara-mi type and it was a clear pink 😀. The appearance was quite different but the taste was delicious 😇 I'm glad my dad was happy to drink it too😇.

Winter Nigorinpic 🔟. Yesterday Ona wrote 8️⃣, but actually I miscounted and it was 9️⃣, so today is the 🔟th sake selection in the Nigorinpik 😀. In celebration of the double-digit number and New Year's Eve, I'll be drinking Jikin's nigori today😇. I was at work until just a few minutes ago, so it doesn't really feel like New Year's Eve 🤣. The top clear liquid is... the taste of Jikin's usual sake😇. But it tastes even better when mixed 😀. Today's dinner was a kimchi nabe followed by New Year's Eve soba noodles, but today's lineup of Yukigumo, Ona Nigori, and Jikin Nigori were all delicious sake, so they didn't lose out to the kimchi nabe at all 😀. The one I liked the most was Jigokin, but I think that's just a matter of taste and it depends on each person😇. I'm writing this in the queue for Hatsumode, and the day has changed 😅. So, Happy New Year 🙏. I hope you have a great year 🙇.

Thank you, HinaHanaMama 🙇. And Happy New Year ㊗️ I always used to get the Kiri number from Hanamup-san, but since Hanamup-san doesn't have nigori sake 😅. From now on, I guess the Kiri number sake will be Jikin-san instead of Hanamup-san ❓🤣.

Winter Nigorinpic 8️⃣ The end of the year is finally approaching 😀. I'm sure many of you are already on your holidays 😀. I'm working until tomorrow, the 31st, so I can't relax yet 🤣. I opened a bottle of Ona's nigori sake today for the last day of the year 😇 I opened the bottle with high expectations, but it was even better than I expected 😇. It had all the things I'm looking for in nigori sake: a sense of sizzle, sweetness and umami from the rice, a solid richness, and even a crisp finish 😀 The liquor stores I often buy from, such as Yukidharma and Jikin, are said to be the four heavenly kings of nigori, comparable to the three major nigoris. I can understand why they were said to be the "Four Heavenly Kings" 😇.
