Keeping up the momentum from yesterday's sake party 🍶...here's tonight💁! From our favorite brands...Yamada Nishiki 🌾 Nananoujozo from Sancho 🍸 ✨ the best of the season according to the officials 😍! I applied for the online lottery to get a chance to buy this one (it was quite expensive) 😅. In SanDo, the name "Nozomi" is used to describe the rank of the sake, based on the philosophy of agriculture + brewing 🤔. Here are the 7 Nozomoto breweries: (1) rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin, (2) sake yeast, (3) raw yeast, (4) no pesticides, (5) wooden vat, (6) no additive yeast, and (7) shiori ✨. Now... let's get to it... 🥰! I'm grinning even before I open the bottle... but now it's time to open the bottle. The inner bottle cap blew out while I was throwing away the garbage after opening the outer bottle 😱.... I'm glad it didn't blow out 😅 Now, I'll get myself together and pour it into a glass 🥂. The aroma is slightly lemony. The sip from the first sip...a refreshing feeling like champagne 🍾 that spreads in a sizzle, acidity like lemon 🍋, and sweetness of old style brewing shiori (≒Kijoshu) 🥰. The fainting taste makes you forget that this is sake 😵. The best of the season is a convincing taste (cosmetics aside...) 😍 My personal best of the year so far is without a doubt... Sansho 🥇. Thank you for finding this sake 🙏. Day 2: 🗒️ As I said...more schwarziness 🫧⏫. Delicious 🤤.

The third bottle at the Sake Kai🍶 was a heated bottle of Kamogane, see past post. So to close out the sake party 🍶... Ten Frog Sparkling 🐸 from Shinmasa! If you try to open this last bottle.......oh my God! It took me about 5 minutes to get it open 😅. It's not too extravagant to decorate the last part of a sake party lol And here's to another toast...🤣 Again, different from the sparkling 🫧 from the first one I had, this one has a very Shinsei-like acidic flavor that runs through your mouth... and it's sharp ✨. And it's a low 9%, right? 🙂‍↕️ It's been a while since I've had this, but it's so easy to drink that I'm enjoying it a lot 🍸. 6 of us drank it and it was empty in no time 😂. And so... Draft Beer 🍺⇨Obai Sparkling 🫧⇨Jushidai Gin-Sen ⇨Kamo Kin Warmed Sake ⇨Shinsei Ten Frog 🐸. The luxury of drinking is over: ☑️ What kind of sake party should we plan next time 🤔...

Second bottle of sake party 🍶. I'm going to splurge lol😆. It's a classic... but I didn't have a chance to drink it alone at home and it's been sitting in the fridge for almost a year now 😅. And finally today, it's time to see the light of day✨! It's a Gin-Sen from the well-known Jyushidai 😁. I was worried about the deterioration of the sake since it is a fresh sake... but that worry was blown away as soon as the bottle was opened lol I'm so....so afraid 🙇.... It has that unique 14yo aroma with a hint of spicy flavor... 🤤. I was drooling before drinking it... 😓. Well, let's all toast to the second bottle of today's Jyushiyo again 🍶! Here it comes...this is... I'm going to drink it again 🍶....... If you've ever had it, you'll know what I mean...it's not heavy, but it has a unique, rich texture that runs through your mouth... 😍 This is a great drink... 😱. I usually don't drink arugula......but this one is exceptional.... I feel a flower garden 🌷🤣 I wonder when I can drink next 😭

It's been a while since I've had a sake party🍶 in town with my colleagues from work. We brought 4 bottles today✨. After a toast with beer to start off 🍻, we started with the first bottle: ‼️ We were so excited about the first bottle... 🤣. This is one of the 600 limited bottles of the aged old sparkling sake (💁) from Makino Brewery, the brewer of Macho💪, which is a fantastic prototype 🥰. The name...DEAD STOCK☠️ The aroma was not that strong... but when poured into a boar cup, it was 🫧sizzling🫧 ✨. We all toasted again and poured it down in one gulp... and at the same time we felt happy 😊🎉. The sweetness was like a cross between an apple and a lemon 🍎, and the pizzazz that popped in my mouth.... The words that came out unintentionally were... "Mmmmmm! I didn't feel any of the smokiness of the old wine...it was gone in no time at all 🤣. Compared to the Masumi Sparkling I had before, this one was sweeter and more reminiscent of a slightly carbonated juice 🍹. 🙂‍↕️ I wonder when I will come across it again...

I've been waiting for this sake 🍶 this year 😊. My favorite brand 🤩Kamogane warmed sake ‼️ I've been waiting for this heated sake especially since the mornings and evenings have been getting colder lately 🤣. I was so impressed with how delicious it was ⁉️😋 and have been looking forward to it every year since. I was so impressed and have looked forward to it every year since then 🥰. I've been looking forward to it every year since then 👰. When you open the bottle, you can't smell the aroma 🤔When you pour it from the bottle into the cup, the sweet and gentle aroma of Omachi rice (Omachi is the name of a town in Japan) is intoxicating 🤤. I immediately took a sip and... here it is: ‼️ It's very soft and easy to drink, with a slight spiciness in the aftertaste that enhances the overall flavor...what a truly heartwarming and gentle taste ✨At room temperature, you can feel the sweetness of the rice just right 👌. Now for the long awaited.......! Try heating it lightly to lukewarm in the microwave 🍶. The sweetness becomes milder...it can be served by itself or during a meal, but this one won't stop 😅. I almost hesitate to buy it because there is only one bottle in the lineup, but don't worry! You can store it at room temperature and don't need a fridge 😊. And you can get change for only 3,000 yen per bottle 😅‼️ If you are interested in heating sake, this is the place to go👍

Hi Kotaro 😃. It's my favorite so much that I like to keep it on hand during the cold season 🤩. It completely dispels the image of heated sake as dry and light, and I'm sure it's the best match for oden🍢 and nabe🍲👍.

Normally I don't open the bottle on Mondays... but I have some sake I want to transfer and bring to the sake party 🍶 this Friday, so I'm opening it to make an empty bottle 😆 lol Tonight... a Junmai Ginjo Aizan from my favorite local brand "Kamo Kanehide" 💎! Aiyama is a diamond of sake rice 🌾. This is a sake brewed and matured in the spring 😍. We haven't seen each other in a year 😆. So without further ado... the opening ceremony✨ The aroma is elegant and fruity without being strong 🍎. The aroma is easy to drink without any peculiarities. The first sip has an apple-like flavor... and even though it's hi-iru 🍁, I think it's the juiciness you get from Kamogane... 😍. And it disappears from your mouth soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......the depth of sake is also found in this 🤤. I enjoy it after dinner with cheese 🧀 lol It's hard to convey in words alone, but I wish more people of all ages could enjoy the taste of sake. 🙂‍↕️ Day 2: 🗒️ The apple-like flavor is up⤴️ In place of it, the juiciness is reduced↘️ No drastic taste change and easy to drink on the second day 🍸.

Tonight I'm opening a bottle of Reborn Cloudy✨ from one of my favorite brands, Hiran. Since it only has a 500ml capacity... I stirred the oli that had accumulated at the bottom of the bottle beforehand 🥰. Now, let's get started: ‼️ When I open the bottle, the aroma is just the right amount of lemon 🍋🤤I think I could get drunk on this alone 🤣 lol. Pour it into a glass... and take a sip. ...... It's the kind of taste that blows away your daily fatigue and makes you smile ☺️ at the same time (sorry it's hard to understand 💧 lol). The sweetness of the lemon, the flavor of the lemon, and the juiciness of the oli... 🫧This is so good... 😍. It tastes like honey lemon🍯🍋 in soft drinks and is very soothing. ❤️‍🩹 The way it's made makes it sweeter and sweeter... but it also makes it too rich 😅.... It's a bit heavy and heavy.... However, Reborn has a perfect balance and you won't get tired of drinking it at all 👌. It's definitely for before or after dinner, but it's dangerous because if you accidentally... you'll end up drinking it all ⚠️. ‼️🤣 Dear Sake-no-wa users. Be careful when you pick it up at the liquor store 😁. Day 2🗒️ More flavor and richness than the first day⤴️ The juiciness is a little less but the taste is exceptional👍

Friday's fun opening day 🍶 lol! Tonight, we have a Toji's Choice Pink Label ✨ from Mansaku no Hana. It's a food sake, so...my curiosity about ⁉️, which has something in common with Hakurakusei, won out and I bought it without hesitation 😆. When I opened the bottle...? It has a subtle ginjo aroma, which is gorgeous for a food sake 🤔. Then I took a sip 😋. The sweetness, umami, and sourness 🍋 can be felt at the moment of drinking, but it quickly disappears and the aftertaste is refreshing ✨. This may be the type of food wine that you can choose what to pair it with... I don't think it can be paired with heavy fat 😅. This is just my personal opinion, but for yakitori, I would definitely choose shio (salt): ❗️ I'm a little doubtful that tare can shed the taste of tare and reset it ❓.... On the contrary, the balance of sweetness, umami and bitterness, and sharpness... I think the balance is quite good even if it is a single item: 🙆‍♂️ If you drink it as a substitute for beer, it will make your cup go down a notch 😆. However...it's still a hard hurdle to break the stronghold of Hakurakusei, which specializes in the ultimate food sake 💧.

If I open the fridge for sake and this is sitting there... I can't stand it even mid-week 😓. Our macho💪 history started here! LOL 😆 That's the MACHO gorilla🦍 in the large sake cup ...but the last time I drank it for the first time, it was a draft sake...so technically, this hi-iri🔥 is my first time drinking it🤤. When I opened the bottle, the aroma wasn't that great 🤔, but when I poured it into a glass ✨, it smelled like a faint apple ✨. Then, I will take a sip 😋. From the apple-like 🍎 sweetness, to the miscellaneous taste due to the low milling 🌾? Bitterness? It's a bit complex, but... you can feel the robust flavor from the moment you put it in your mouth to the moment you swallow it. I personally prefer the Gorilla Sake, which I drank for the first time, but this one has a mild taste that can be drunk peacefully 😊. The complex aftertaste slowly fades away...very pleasant 🙂‍↕️ If I were to use an analogy... a freshly opened soda is like a gorilla fresh 🫧, and a gorilla fire 🔥 with no carbonation but a deep flavor 😌. If you're not careful, you'll run out if you drink it in small doses😅. If you've never had it, you're in for a treat! If you have never had it, please visit ‼️ It has a nice fruity flavor with a strong punch 😁. Day 2🗒️ More flavor and before you know it, it's empty 😨. Quirky... but addictive taste✨

Looks like the rest of the world will be on vacation tomorrow... but I'll be 🍶charged for work ✨. Before that... yesterday and today our town held its annual Sake Festival 🍶. The main attraction for drinkers at this festival is the ticketed sake plaza where you can drink about 900 brands from all over the country 😅I haven't been to the plaza for a long time 😅It used to be a dream place where you could drink all you wanted for about 2,000 yen for an advance ticket...now it seems rather expensive 😭 Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble, but tonight we will be drinking our first sake from Okayama 🌃 brilliant✨! It's one of the few draft sakes available this time of year😍. When you open the bottle... it smells like muscat, melon🍈, and strawberry🍓 in a good way...grin ✨ lol I will have a sip from the first sip 😋. It has a light, sweet taste with almost no bitterness or other unpleasant flavors 🥰. The sweetness quickly recedes from the aftertaste: ❗️ It is very easy to drink and has a high degree of perfection without being too rich. ❗️ It's not a flaw, but it's a little high in alcohol content because it's a pure sake, so it might be tough for weak drinkers. And...I was expecting a little bit of the freshness and sizzle that comes with nama-shu, but I didn't feel much of that at all💧. I think it would go well with vanilla ice cream 🍨 after dinner 🤤. Day 2: 🗒️ I thought it would increase the flavor... but it didn't 🤔 I think it got a little thicker ✨?

Weekend Hwagin✨ is the deadliest word... 😭 Even if it's the weekend, drinking at home is more cosy than drinking out 🙆. Well, tonight... although it's still early for Halloween👻, we're opening this one💁🍶. It's been a while since I've been to Akabu...MONSTER🦇. I remember that last year I drank a lot at the garden BBQ🍖, so although I remember what I drank, I don't remember the taste at all and it was a waste 😭. So this year, I'm going to drink it again after a year 🤣. When I opened the bottle, there was no strong aroma, but a moderate sour 🍋 aroma ✨. Then a quick sip 🤤. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, with an exquisite sourness like lemon water 🍋, the flavor spreads from there to the palate, and then it disappears in a smooth and easy way 😌...this is...delicious 😋. In my opinion, it is suitable for before and after a meal, a drink before a meal or dessert after a meal. 🙆‍♂️ Well...sake is so deep that I can't stop drinking it lol. I'm sure Sake-no-wa users can relate to this 🤣 lol I'm wondering what is your favorite brand this year? I'm curious 🤔 Day 2: 🗒️ The lemon 🍋 feeling is more and more ⏫ and more surprising🫢. It's an adult lemon water with a sweet and sour taste 🥰. This kind of change in taste is another reason why sake is so profound 😁.

Personally, I don't think I'll have it next time😅. I think it's a food wine in terms of taste... I don't mean to be harsh, but it's a shame that it tastes a bit half-baked when drunk cold... I think it would be better if it were heated up, so I'll give it a try after tomorrow. 🙂‍↕️ Day 2: 🗒️ Not much change in cold sake 🤔. So...heated sake 🍶. It's less peculiar and more like a dry mid-meal sake: ❗️ Personally, I definitely prefer this one ✨. I miss oden 🍢 😆.

Today... it's been a while since I've had a Niimasa ecru✨. The last time I drank this was about 6 months ago, so it's been a while 😆. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not that strong ❓ but I could feel a little bit of the raspberry 🍇 flavor that is typical of Shinmasa 👍. The first sip from .......... I don't remember it being this refreshing 🤔⁉️🤔 I wonder if there is a big difference depending on the month it was made 😅. I wonder if there is a big difference depending on the month of manufacture😅. To be honest, I personally don't like the wine with strong acidity of Shinsei in general... but it's been a while since I've tasted it 😍. The initial taste is refreshing... then sour lemon🍋 and raspberry🍇 sensation, with a nice sharpness and pull in the aftertaste... I like it a lot 🥰. However...hmmm...what's the difference 💦? It's been a while since I've had a Shinmasa that tasted so good, so it's a little refreshing 💧. With the recent trend of raising the price of everything...2,000 yen regular price for ecru is really helpful ✨. I've had many Shinsei, Cosmos, Viridian, Bird, Frog, Cat... but this one is the best in terms of cost performance: ☝️ The second day was also stable, with a refreshing taste and acidity 🍋, and it's just plain delicious 😋.

Before you know it, it will be October... 😱 And today is Sake Day 🍶. I hesitate to open it even though it's the middle of the week... but of course, I have to open it now, right? It's just the atmosphere😅lol So, I rummaged in the fridge.... Here it is! There are so many brands that I was wondering what to open... 😓. Jyushidai, Jikin, Sansho, Shinmasa... and Tasake🤣. I took it out with the force of "open it! Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble... but this Akita Sake Komachi is my first drink 🤤. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was like mellow......that's it 💡. The aroma reminds me of Kameizumi🐢's CEL-24, which is very close ❗️ The aroma is similar to Kameizumi's ❗️... but it is more umami than Kameizumi's with a bit of spiciness and bitterness 🤔🤔. Although the pull remains a little ... but in general, it is a good cohesion and easy to drink 🍸. Personally, I have an image of Tazake as a middle ground that can be ripe for both the mid-meal and pre-meal repertoire, but I think this one is more for pre-meal and post-meal 😊. We had it after dinner with a light cheese 🧀😋. Day 2🗒️ The aroma is the same as before, but the melon is more stable. I think the flavor has increased a little 🤔. The balance is almost as stable as on the first day 😊.

However, this balance is certainly delicious 😋. How will it taste tomorrow ⁉️😁 Day 2🗒️ The flavor is very good. Still very clean taste, little bitterness and no increase in bitterness 😊.

The other day, I was at a tasting event at my favorite liquor store and had the opportunity to try 6 different kinds of sake for the first time ✨. I bought this "Tottogori Torori" which was the best of all 🫧. We opened the bottle again at home: ‼️ I had to fight for about 1 minute to open the bottle......................thanks to the fact that it was well chilled? Thanks to the fact that it was well chilled 🤣 lol When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not that strong... but when I poured it into the glass, the sour aroma like lemon and grapefruit made me drool 🍋... 🤤. So, without further ado... a sip... ❗️🤩 The refreshing grapefruit-like taste is addictive 😍. I didn't expect it to be as refreshing as it is now that the mornings and evenings are turning autumnal 🍂... but it's a great drink for the hot summer months👍. If you pour this into a glass and serve it at the same time as a Greflee chuhai, you won't even know it's sake 😊. However, it still has a very different flavor and depth that only sake can have. ⭕️ On the second day, the shwashiness settles down a bit and the taste becomes milder😊. Nice with just the right amount of acidity👍

Today we have the Macho 💪 series from our favorite sake brewery, Makino Sake Brewery. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of "you're buying too much ⁉️" but this year I'm going for it lol 🤣! And that brings us to today's Yamada Nishiki 🌾. Yamada-Nishiki is the standard of all sake rice ❗️The standard ‼️ What can we talk about ⁉️ without brewing this rice 🤔 I'm curious to see what kind of flavor the gory macho💪 has created with this standard rice 😁. I used less than 200 words just for the preface lol. So I'll report quickly 🤣. When I opened the bottle...it was almost as rough as edible rice with 80% milling ratio. The aroma is not that strong 🤔When I pour it into the glass, the fresh fruity aroma is a bit unique ❓Is this the aroma of macho💪 lol😆😆. I took a sip...... "This is it! I thought it was a fire-entry 🔥 the moment I took a sip.... I think....it's a juiciness.... While the juiciness and umami are in a nice balance, there is also a bit of bitterness and a little bit of miscellaneous taste due to the low milled rice 🤔. However, this bitterness is not unpleasant and easy to drink. ❗️ I guess it's because the rice milling ratio is close to that of edible rice, so it tastes more like the rice we usually eat 👍 I think I might like Gorilla🦍>Tokujun>Yamada Nishiki lol

I don't know if it's because I'm drunk or not... but I feel like it tastes similar to the "Autumn Poem of Goddess of Oriental Beauty" that I was drinking earlier😅. Of course, this one has a stronger "sizzling" taste, which is what "Takachiyo" is all about, right? But if you remove this juiciness, it would be "Toyo Bijin" 💦. Sake is a very deep and enjoyable drink 🤣. Day 2: 🗒️ Increased lactic acidic yogurt-like flavor⤴️ Good nuance of microcarbonated calpis soda🫧🙆 A different take on the first day ✨

Good evening Mr. Koi Suru Gull 🌝. I'm sad to hear that Halloween-labeled Takachiyosan is being sold out after this season 😭. I see, if it loses the juiciness, it will taste more like Toyo Bijin-san 🤔.

Good evening, Mr. Chesta 🌙 Yes... it's a shame 😭 I personally liked the balance of the fizziness 🫧 and juiciness of the orikara and the calpisiness of the second day 👍. If you make it taste clear, it's a beautiful oriental image 😁.

It's mid-September before I know it... It's been another hot and long summer, and the calendar has turned to autumn 🍂. As usual, I always take a peek at the liquor section of the supermarket while grocery shopping. Well, I don't expect to find it since I'm not a sake specialist... but for some reason, one store has it 🤩... Toyo Bijin ✨. This is the 💁 fall limited edition Jun Dai 😁. Well, let's open the bottle right away 🍶🍶. The aroma...hmmm! Hmmm! I've had a lot of sake with a fruity aroma, but... it's something different 🤔. If I had to say...it's like the smokiness of a baked apple instead of a raw apple ❓. When you take a sip, you get the impression that the rich sweetness described on the tag is spreading, but the aftertaste disappears easily. I can only use a personal analogy...it tastes like freshly eaten apples 🍎 = I love the taste of the Goddess Shizuku and Winter Poem that I drank in the past. This one tastes like aged apples made into an apple pie = I love you Autumn Poem I'm not sure how to describe it, but I hope you get the idea 😅. I think it is autumnal 🤔. Day 2: 🗒️ The flavor is more delicious: ⤴️ And at the same time, a little bit smokiness.... But the overall balance is excellent 👍
