Before the rainy season started, we caught the rainbow-colored 🌈 Kabutomushi😏 again this year... It's that time of the year again... and I'm going to report how it has changed ❓ with the Edo return that Senkou set up last year, comparing the taste of last year's Kabutomushi (it's mostly a gut feeling from memory 💦). Last year's bottle and this year's bottle look the same (4th photo) Once you open the bottle, this is it... this is the aroma😍. The sourness is unique to Senkyoku 🍋😏. I don't feel much difference between the two... but from the first sip, I feel the strong acidity and the heaviness is much stronger than last year's 💪. I feel like the alcohol taste is a bit stronger because of the richness...so if you liked the previous year's, it might be a bit strong 😅. Day 2: 🗒️ Sentori...more flavorful...⤴️ Refreshing lemon flavor with a clean aftertaste 😍.... I can't stop 😆.

Friday Fun 😊 Today... an honored chrysanthemum from Saga Prefecture ✨. From your post on Sake no Wa and...the note ⚠️, we opened the bottle quite carefully 💧. It didn't blow out, but the inner cork was under a lot of pressure 😅. Good sound 😁. The aroma is grapefruity and sour ♬ and... the fermentation in the bottle makes the schwizz🫧 stronger 😏. I have high expectations even before drinking it🤣. I immediately poured the top clear liquid into a glass and took a sip... the sizzling, slightly effervescent taste and grapefruitiness is refreshing and easy to drink👌. Next, stir and take a second sip 🥂. The flavor is up 🥂 and the juiciness seems to be stronger 😍. There is a light bitterness, but it's dangerous because it's well-balanced and you can drink it in gulps 💦 lol. It's delicious before, after or during your meal 👌 I wonder if it will last until the second day... 😱 It managed to last until the 2nd day from ❗️ When I opened the bottle, it sounded better than the first day...maybe it was under pressure 😆. Taste...less sizzling but more pronounced umami or bitterness 🤔. Personally, I preferred the taste of the first day 👌

Today I had to take a break from my day job... but I can't stand it when it gets hot during the day 🤣 lol I thought I wanted something like a clay that I can drink easily when it's hot like this ❗️... and when I looked up the tag for Champagne 🍾...? Hmmm? ... for some reason, Gobashi "Nene" from Yamaguchi prefecture is listed as #2 even though it has only a few check-ins 😯. I've never had it... but I remember my local liquor store (🤔) had it for some reason. So I bought some 😆 lol Speaking of Yamaguchi prefecture, of course Otters are well known nationwide, but the locals seem to prefer Gohashi and Ganki: 🙂‍↕️ Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble... but after stirring the bottle upside down a couple of times, as the warning says, it's time to serve! I opened the bottle ‼️ with caution ⚠️ so there was no blowout 💧. It is served in a wine glass with ice 🧊. The aroma is pretty much champagne🍾 acidity✨. The sip has a strong sparkling pizzazz and a sweet apple 🍎 feeling low al so you can gobble it up 😍. Apple cider🍾 might be pretty close ❗️ This one 💁 my wife was a big fan 😆.

Well, today...I'll open a bottle of rare sake🍶❓ which I got from my junior who was traveling🚗 for GW: ❗️ This is Kusunokami from Nishino Kinryo in Kagawa prefecture. Of course, this is my first drink 😁. I checked the official website...it says it is recommended for room temperature to warmed sake, but I had it chilled, so I opened it cold ✨. Almost no aroma, clean taste...slightly dry and sharp so it's well-balanced and doesn't interfere with food 👌. On the other hand... it doesn't have a strong character, it's more like a food sake for everyday drinking😅. It's getting hotter, but it's relatively cool today... so I tried heating it up 🍶... but it didn't taste that great 😏... But there wasn't much change in the taste 😅. I think the umami flavor has increased a little bit. Cold or warmed sake is a matter of taste 🤔. In general, it is a well-balanced food sake🙆.

I was so impressed with my first drink the other day, a large sake MACHO🦍... I actually bought an extra bottle at the liquor store 🤣 lol. And then opened the bottle 🍶Aizan ❤️ woman MACHO👩 Well... this label... if you are a sake beginner 🔰, you would never buy or touch this sake... it has a great impact 😅. but I'm already fascinated by this supple body❓🤣 lol Now, without the usual long preamble... When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not that strong 🤔. The aroma is not that strong 🤔. Then the first sip ✨ Hey....Kita korettu ‼️ The sizzling carbonation 🫧 is perfectly matched with the umami of Aizan... and the sharpness is also spicy: ❗️ Delicious 😋! If you like sweet, slightly carbonated juice 🍹, you're in the right place 👌. But..! Not to be bitter, but compared to the Gorilla 🦍, which was my first drink, this one is more of the delicious flavor of Aizan 🤔. If you want to drink it gulping it down, go for the Gorilla🦍, if you want to drink it a little more gently, go for the Female Macho🦍. If you want to drink it a little more gently than that, I'd say female macho 💪❓ lol I'm sure I'll win the whole series this year.... I think I'll win the whole series this year 🤣. Day 2: 🗒️ Juwapiti 🫧 is still going strong on day 2✨ The flavor was also slightly more delicious ⤴️ and I was completely mesmerized 😍. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend it 😁.

My favorite brand to soak up my tired body 🤩. This is the second week in a row that we have held the Hiran Festival 🤣 lol! Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be a brewery open house at Mori Sake Brewery...but I can't make it, so I'm going to enjoy Hiran at home 😌. Well, today we opened a bottle of Aoten🌌 from Hiran. When you open the bottle, it has a nice fruity apple or pear flavor. A good fruity apple🍎 or pear🍐? like ginjo aroma ✨. As expected, it's the kind that makes you grin before you drink it 😁 lol. The first sip from the first sip is a bit of a spiciness 🫧 and a raspberry🍇 like taste 😍. I can also taste a bit of bitterness, but it's just right and has a nice 👌. I can feel the fatigue of the week is healed 🤣 lol. I knew it! But as a fan of Tobiraman, I am a little concerned that this season as a whole seems to have less sizzling flavor than last year 🤔. I heard from a sake distributor that the rice is not melting well.... After all, rice is an agricultural crop, so it must be greatly affected by climate change... 😭 However, I can only take my hat off to all the brewers who brew delicious sake including that 🙇. Day 2 note: 🗒️ No big taste change there 😅... This was my first time drinking Aoten and... a bit disappointing 😭

The past few days have been as busy as ever 😓. Maybe it's because I'm old... but at this rate, I won't last until the weekend, so I'm replenishing my supply 😅lol Now, this is 92‼️ from Kamerei🐢's low milled rice🌾 series! The milling ratio is the same as the shortage of rice for food use that has been a hot topic these days 💧. The aroma is not strong 🤔. The first sip is a refreshingly smooth and pungent taste that washes away and resets even strong flavored food 🍳🍳🍗 like yakiniku🥩 or yakitori🍗. 🙂‍↕️ The aftertaste is dry and delicious, as you would expect from Kamerei ✨. I like Kamerei sake brewery, so I drink many kinds of sake, but this one might be 💁 more spicy. The last time I drank Hakkyu, it was sweet and thick... so that one is a different thing 😅. After all, the base is a dry food sake ❗️ is Kamerei Shuzo 🍶. Day 2🗒️ Not much change in the flavor base 🤔. I have the impression that the umami and spiciness might have increased a little 😃.

Today...we opened a bottle of Tedorigawa no Niji🌈 from Ishikawa Prefecture🍶! When you open the bottle, you can smell the fruity aroma of apples from the bottle: ☺️ It is even more pronounced when poured into a glass✨. A quick sip... 🥰. It has a good balance of the umami with just the right amount of tanginess, while still having the zesty taste that is often associated with Junmai's low milled rice 👌. The aftertaste is a little bit bland, but the overall balance is good, so it's easy to drink before, during, or after a meal...any time of the day. 🙂‍↕️ Above all...for those who are daily drinkers, the cospa💴 is also important❗️Imadoki...there are very few tasty sake that can be had for 2,000 yen 😭 I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm a fan of the "Junmai" style of sake or the fact that I'm a fan of the "Junmai" style of sake, but I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the "Junmai" style of sake. I personally prefer Junmai ✨. Day 2: 🗒️ I thought the Junmai might add more bitterness, but it doesn't increase that much and is easy to drink 👌. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, but not that strong, just right 😁.

Come on, come on ❗️ The long awaited drinking party at home 🍶Kagane ✨ (dead word)! I've been a fan of "Heaven🌌" since I had it for the first time last year... and it's been a year since I've had it again 🥰 since it's seasonal. When I opened the bottle, the subtle lemon-like aroma made me grin 😍 lol. The first sip from the bottle 🤤.... The second cup was stirred because there was a little bit of oli 🌾 precipitated 🤔. There was no change in taste, but the balance of stable acidity and sharpness is as expected👍! I vaguely remember that it also seems to be more white wine ❓🤔 than last year. If I can drink this in heaven, I may not have any regrets in this life... 🤣 lol But I haven't had enough to drink yet so it's too early to go to the other world😅. Well, it has nothing to do with the taste, but the bottle is stylish even if you decorate it 😁. I don't often have a chance to go to the brewery, but I hope to visit one day 🥰. If you haven't tried it yet, please visit ❗️ I highly recommend Jiran 👌 I'm curious to see what the taste change will be tomorrow: 🙂‍↕️ On the second day, I stirred it before drinking it ✨. The aroma doesn't change much but the flavor is up ⤴️ and even more delicious 😋.

Tamagawa's sake 🍶 is brewed by Philip Harper, a British toji from 🇬🇧. Among them, I was curious about the Ice Breaker 🧊🐧 that I had missed drinking since last year...because it was hot during the day...and I opened it by accident 😓 lol! When you open the bottle, you can feel the alcohol of sake feeling firmly 🤔. And if you pour it into a wine glass with ice 🧊 as the description says, you get an even darker sake feeling 😎. The dryness you feel from the first sip is solid, but combined with a moderate sweetness, it's a great sake to drink as a food sake ✨. The dryness of this sake makes it easy to enjoy even with strong flavors such as yakiniku🥩 and yakitori🐔. I didn't feel much of a piquancy 😅 despite the fact that it's a draft sake. However, if you like fruity sake, this sake might be a bit peculiar and hard to drink 😓... 😓. If you usually prefer dry beer 🍺, you might like it ❓❓ All in all... a summer sake for sake lovers: ❗️ Day 2: 🗒️ No big taste change 🤔. As the ice melts and the alcohol taste fades, it tastes strangely like the sweetness also increases🙂‍↕️

Today....my daughters' gymnastic festival 🎖️ was held, so I opened the bottle to say goodnight ❗️🤣 lol (as usual, I'm the only one drinking 😭) Well, this is Kamo Kanehide's limited edition sake from the brewery I adore ❓😁. I drank it at that time too... but I'll drink it again at home 😏. But first, I checked the label on the back... it says it's the annual seasonal SUITOH Omachi 🌾 raw sake ✨. I've never had the original SUITOH Hi-iri, so I can't compare, but I'll comment on the taste as usual 😅 Long preamble but... here it comes 🍶! The aroma is of apple juice 🍎 even from the bottle 🥰. The taste of the sake is very crisp and dry from the first sip, but the umami and slight dryness make it the perfect match for sashimi and sushi. It enhances the taste of the ingredients. 🙂‍↕️ The sharpness of the aftertaste is also excellent👍 I have had many Kamo Kanehide's, and even if it is hi-ire (hi-iru), it is sold with freshness like nama-zake (nama-zake). Therefore, it may be hard to feel the difference between it and nama-shu 🤔. Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow 😎. Day 2: 🗒️ I think it has more flavor... but the spiciness has increased at the same time ⤴️ and the piquancy 🫧 is still there, but in general I like the first day better 😊.

I got this from my junior during GW and it's THE SAZANAMI🌊 from "Abe". I think this is my second bottle of Abe 🤔. but it's not one of the standard series...so it's actually my first drink 🍶. A hint of ginjo aroma ✨. The mouthfeel is quite smooth and easy to drink 😁. The taste is not too strong....and it's fire-aged, so it's not too pithy 🤔. The taste is so smooth that it disappears as if nothing happened and you can understand why the product name "Sazanami" is "certainly ‼️"👍 It is a different line from the regular series "Abe", this one is more like a relaxing, leisurely, and quiet sake. 🙂‍↕️ Of course, it has the juiciness of "Abe"...but if "Abe" has a youthful image, "Abe" has a dignified image...I guess it's easy to understand 😅. It's a taste that will make you feel at peace on a Friday night ✨. Day 2 😏. No big change, stable and clean flavor ✨. Huh! Abe-san...I think you have one more push in your level 😅⁉️ Maybe a little underwhelming to be honest 😓. Day 3✨ More flavor‼️ I don't think so, day 3 might be the best 🥰.

It's hard to get motivated to work after GW... 😓. I myself have been relaxing at home drinking and studying 📖🤣 lol. Yesterday, when I came to work for the first time in a while, I received a gift of sake from a junior colleague 😅. He seemed to have taken to heart the fact that I had deliberately jokingly told him before the holiday weekend that if he was going on a trip, he should buy me some sake (not power harassment 💦)...I'm not that kind of a character 🫨. I'm sorry for the long preamble, but... this is a Junmai-shu from Umegae Shuzo (💁), a sake brewed by Umegae. It's really positioned as a souvenir sake that seems to be mainly distributed locally 🤔. So, I opened the bottle assuming it was a dry and light sake ❗️, which is typical for this kind of sake 🍶. There is not so much aroma, but some alu feeling. The first sip from the first sip, oops! The mouthfeel is quite smooth, but there is a nice spiciness in the flavor...honestly, it is quite tasty, exceeding my expectations 😋. It's definitely a food sake, but it has a sharpness that only a dry sake can have, and it doesn't interfere with the food👍. Well, well... you can't understand sake only by preconceived notions: 🙂‍↕️ I don't have time to heat it up since it's 300ml... but I'm sure you'll enjoy a different taste when it's warmed up 🤩. The second day was stable and dry with almost no change in taste due to the fact that it is a fire-aged Junmai sake👍.

GW vacation is coming to an end in a flash 😭 The rest of the world may be on vacation until tomorrow, but I'll be working from tomorrow...I'm going to recharge my alcohol 🍶😏. This is 💁 from Eikoufuji in Yamagata...Hoshitenkouro ✨As the name suggests...the label design looks like it's already inspired by outer space 🌌. To be honest...I've heard that Eiko Fuji is delicious, so this is my first open bottle...I'd like to personally say a few words: ❗️ As a sake lover, I appreciate it, but "too much information...too much lol 😆". I opened the bottle with a tsk tsk 🍶. The aroma is not that strong from the bottle, but when you pour it into a glass, the fruity aroma comes in a flash 🥰. The first sip is a rich and juicy taste with the piquancy of the unpasteurized sake 🫧. It has a good sharpness and not too bad aftertaste 🫧🙂‍↕️ Delicious 😋. ...but..., I've been drinking this kind of pattern for a while now, so even my comments are becoming a pattern 😭 To those of you who "like" this, I'm not trying to be a template... it's just that there are too many drinks that are really similar in characteristics these days 😓. I don't mean to be a fan of "Macho💪", but it's been my favorite lately... 🙇. On the second day, when I opened the bottle, the aroma was much stronger 🫢. If you take a sip with high expectations, the flavor will increase and it will be better than the first day 🥰.

Today is ......‼️ It's our wedding anniversary, so I opened a bottle of my favorite Jikin Yumachi 🌾 Nama 😁 (but my wife doesn't drink it, so I'm always alone...) When I open the bottle, I wonder...what is it...the rice is different but the aroma has a rich Ginjo aroma unique to Jikin ✨🤤. I always find it really strange 🤔. The first sip of this sake has an excellent balance of sweetness and umami, with a slight piquancy of the raw sake 🫧 and a smooth aftertaste that disappears without any peculiarities 😆 You can luxuriously taste the plump and delicious flavor of the omachi 🥰. The aftertaste is not sticky and does not leave a sticky feeling on the tongue either 👍. I was impressed by the taste of the raw Senbon-Nishiki I had before after the second day of drinking it... I'm hoping for that kind of change in this Yumachi 🤩. Day 2 report: 🗒️ The umami has increased considerably✨ But... the alcohol has also increased a bit😅. I still think it's best to drink the sake within a month of production 😭 I feel like I'm missing out on the best time to drink it... 😭 But...! I'd like to stock up again 😋 lol

Second half of GW: ❗️ We don't plan to go anywhere, but we will open a bottle of Akabu from Iwate prefecture, a far away province. When I opened the bottle, it made a nice spunky sound 😁. The aroma is not that strong, but it is lemon-like 🤔❓❓ The first sip gives a smooth taste with a lemon-like acidity in the aftertaste... Oya? I felt it was a bit like Senkou after all 🥰. It's an easy-drinking sake with a smooth aftertaste rather than a deep flavor that comes through in a sizzle 😆. However, I think the usual image of Akabu-san is a little more umami. I think AIR has a strong smoothness 🤔. It's not too assertive and doesn't interfere with the taste of the food ✨. I'm drinking it by itself, but I think it would be suitable for sashimi and sushi 🍣. 🙂‍↕️ How will it taste tomorrow ⁉️ Day 2: ❗️ It's so delicious with more flavor!

Following on from yesterday's Oibai MACHO... here's another low-polished one 😏. This one is from a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima... the Kamerei Shuzo🐢, which I've had my eye on for a while now: ‼️ Kamerei brews basically umakuchi type dry sake, which is more like the traditional sake... but this one has a sake degree of minus 18 ❗️ The brewing process is usually done in three stages, but this sake is brewed in five stages, and the sweetness is definitely concentrated 🤤. But let's put the preamble aside... here we go! Open the bottle 🍶. I poured it into a wine glass rather than a bottle and smelled it... oh my goodness, it has a delicious fruity aroma 🍎😋. One sip and the gentle, fluffy taste of Junmai🌾 spreads across the palate...how to describe the umami, like eating rice🍚...it's delicious ✨! The aftertaste has a pungent taste peculiar to Kamerei that makes the cup go further 🤣(probably almost imperceptible level). It's just my personal opinion, but I prefer it to Shinshu Kamerei 🤔. Day 2 report: 🗒️ A little bit more bitterness and more alcohol than the first day 🤔... However, it is delicious with more umami ⤴️ 😋.

First open bottle 🍶 of Ohbai's MACHO series ✨, which I had been curious about the label for a while and had missed out on due to timing. I assumed the taste would be more complex because of the low rice polishing 🌾, but... when I opened the bottle, it tasted like lemon🍋 with a soft aroma 🥰. From the aroma, I imagined it tasted like Senkyoku... but it was completely different when I took a sip: ‼️ I was betrayed in a good way🤩. It's a raw sake, so you can feel the juppiness from the first sip, while the fruity ❓ apple ❓ pear ❓ flavor spreads in your mouth and the sharpness is just right and it doesn't stop 🤤. It feels as if you are drinking a slightly carbonated juice 🍹. It's a great drink, and even though it has a 15% alcohol content, you don't feel that much alcohol...it goes down very smoothly. I'm sure I'll be back for the rest of the series ✨👍 I wish I could become macho just by drinking this...(I'm sure everyone thinks so 🤣). I'm a little scared of the taste change tomorrow due to the low milling 😱. and I drank it all before I could report on day 2... 😨. I haven't drank something this good in a long time 😋....

I've had a few kangiku outside, but this is my first time at home ✨. It's GW so I'm turning on the lights in the garden 🪴😆 lol As a Chiba native...I honestly had no idea that there was good sake in Chiba, so I was surprised by Kangiku when I drank it for the first time 😅. After all...Chiba has bad water, so I couldn't imagine any good sake 😓. You can't judge anything only by your preconceived notions 🙅. Now, let me preface this by saying... we opened a bottle of Silver Lightning💫, which is a highly polished 29%🌾 rice polishing ratio sake🍶. There was a bottle opening warning ⚠️ but it was fine🙆. The aroma is strong and fruity🍎🍏 with a ginjo aroma✨. The moment you drink it, the pithiness of the sake 🫧... and the sizzling flavor will make you smile: ☺️ The sharpness and lingering aftertaste... it's so good, you can have as many cups as you want 😅. I think it would definitely be good before or after a meal by itself or with dessert 🍨. I wonder what will happen tomorrow 🤣 Day 2 note: 🗒️ When I opened the bottle, the aroma is stronger than yesterday... it makes me smile: ☺️ The umami is also up⤴️ maybe because of the higher milling ratio🌾...❓The alcohol feeling has not increased🙂‍↕️ Clear and delicious 😋.

Third day of GW✨ However... the first half of the week is flying by, so I'll be open on a weekday 🤣. Well, I'm not interested in panda🐼, but I couldn't resist buying one with a cute label 💁. If you think about it calmly...the only place in Japan where you can see pandas is Ueno in Tokyo🗼...or Adventure World in Wakayama❓🤔. I don't have any image of pandas in Tochigi 😓. Tochigi is only Utsunomiya's gyoza🥟 and Nikko🐒😅(tourist attractions excluding sake breweries) Putting all that aside... open the bottle 🍶. Fruity apple-like ginjo aroma... I've been smelling it so much lately that I'm starting to think it's just a similar aroma 😅 (in other words, a delicious aroma). Take a sip and you'll feel the apple juice 🧃 spreading in your mouth: ❗️ I can hardly feel the alcohol taste and the sharpness is refreshing 🥰. I don't know how pandas feel... but humans can be "happi😍" 😆. It's not a sake with strong characteristics that I would like to repeat ❗️, but it's just delicious 😋. It's not a strong sake with strong characteristics that I'd like to repeat 😆 It's not a strong sake with strong characteristics that I'd like to repeat but it's just delicious 😋. The second day is more umami 😋. But at the same time, the alcohol taste has increased 😅.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃. I used to go to Tochigi a lot for skiing ⛷️ and for license training camps 🚗... whatever it was 😆 lol. Hence (?) I like Tochigi sake in general. Tochigi's sake is one of my favorites in general 😍.
