tomoさんContinued from yesterday I'm only attending a lecture tomorrow, so I'm going for a quick drink by myself. I had one drink at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station and took the Yamanote Line to Shinbashi. I came here again, Shinshu Osakemura in Shinbashi Sake is so cheap here 😁. Only sake from Shinshu, but the menu for sake alone is huge 😳! At first, you can choose your own three kinds of sake to compare. You can choose from three types of the same price on the menu. I chose 3 types (60ml?x3) from 350yen (110ml). The price is 550 yen for 3 kinds 🤣. I selected Nanasho, Imanishiki and Kawanakajima. First of all, Nanasho! Not much aroma. Light acidity, umami, and astringency. The sharpness is good👍 I was full so I didn't have any snacks 😁.

tomoさんWhenever I come to Tokyo, I just stop by. I had some time before check-in, so I had a light drink. This is a doburoku made at Tokyo Station. It has a strong rice flavor, but is easy to drink. It was a blink of an eye, but I wasn't too attracted to today's lineup and held out for just one cup.

マナチーThanks for your business trip to Tokyo, tomo-san. ‼️ I had this mikan one at Tokyo station the other day and it was delicious 😆 Doburoku is delicious here, isn't it?

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑱. This is the last drink. I don't remember how this came up in the conversation, but it was the last sake the manager brought. Shinsei Tenfrog😳 We had a whole bottle (not one, five of us) 🤩. The shots were amazing. Mr. Chidorisaki took a video of it (he was drunk, so his hands were shaky) and it was overflowing with bubbles. It's low al but has a lot of flavor, but this gassy feeling (champagne? Rumney?) So it's refreshing and very easy to drink. We had a lot of good drinks this time, too. We talked mostly about sake, and before I knew it, 4 hours had passed since the party started at 7:00 🤣. It was a very enjoyable party and I hope to see you again next time. 🙇‍♂ I promised not to bring my own sake next time, but to enjoy the drinks at the restaurant. I promised not to bring my own drinks next time, but I don't know what will happen with the vendors 🤣. Well, my business trip to Tokyo, which I thought was long overdue, is finally this week. I've been busy preparing for the trip, so it's been a bit of a whirlwind, but I'm looking forward to drinking up some good sake in Tokyo too 😁.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report ⑰ Sake Future Drinking Comparison Akatake NEW BORN Sake Mirai This is the sake brought by kapiyot-san. He brought us a valuable sake that is rarely in stock in Kumamoto. 🙇‍♂ Sake Mirai is this one 😁. From the sweet aroma, it tastes solidly sweet. Pineapple maybe? I'm too drunk to tell the difference in taste, but I know it's sweet, juicy, fruity, and insanely good 🥰. I had a good drink 😁.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑯. The fourth drink we ordered together at the end of the party was Shishi no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai I was surprised that it was not so sweet when I drank it with my mouth expecting it to be sweet because it was from Sake Mirai 😳. I remember thinking it was dry when I drank Lion's Village before, but it's still dry even with Sake Mirai 😅. I remember thinking it was dry when I drank it before, but it's still dry even if you use Sake Mirai 😅. I don't think it's necessary to use Sake Mirai 🤣. I wonder if people who like dry taste would have a different impression if they drank it.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report (15) Off-line meeting endgame The third drink we ordered from the all-you-can-drink menu was Jikin Junmai Ginjo Omachi Nama If you can drink Jikin, you must order it anyway 😁. It is a sake that is more like Jikin than Omachi. The overall balance is well put together, with an elegant umami taste and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Jikin is still delicious 🥰. But I don't think they use omachi that well 🤔. honda agreed with me. Also, I was in agreement with her that the sake made by a brewery that claims to be great at using Omachi (self-imposed restriction) is not tasty. honda-san said that Nanamizu's Omachi is outstandingly good, and I agreed with her.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィThanks for the tip, tomo 😃! I'm still not drinking the Nanamizu Oumachi that was not drunk among the many 🥹honda's and tomo's highly recommended ‼️ 😳I'm going to go buy it 😅👋.
Japanese>English
tomoさんHi Jay & Nobby! Nanamizu's Omachi is a definite one 👍If you see it, please drink it 😁Honda's tongue was in fine form on this day too 😁.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑭ Off-line meeting is finally in the last stage! The second drink we ordered from the all-you-can-drink menu was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori Omachi Personally, it has been a long time since I have had a Koeikiku. This is different from other Koeikiku. First of all, it has a high alcohol content (17%). The other Koeikiku are relatively light and easy to drink, and in my opinion, feel like rum, but this one is a solid sake. I'm not sure if that's accurate or not 😅. I have the same one sitting in my fridge, so I'll do a full review at a later date 😁.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report ⑫ Abe Our Sake vol.16 Up to this point, my memory of the taste is quite dubious 😂. This was also brought in by the vendor, Chidoridashi, and was the fourth bottle today! This Our Sake of Abeno series is a sake that the brewers who make sake in Abeno experimentally brew every year. This year's vol. 16 is a Kijo-shu made with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone) and brewed with Hashira shochu (a type of distilled spirit). What is Hashira shochu brewing? Maybe because I drank a super sweet re-finishing kijoshu a while ago, the taste left no impression on me. But don't worry, I got the rest of it and left. I took another sip, It has a sweetness with a beautiful acidity. The sugar content seems to be quite high, but the acidity must be high because I don't feel the sweetness strongly 😊.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report 10 The third of three types of manager's selections Bodai Spring 2023 The manager said he brought this one for me. After that comment, everyone poured less 🤣. This has a great acidity 😳. Sour and delicious. The acidity is so strong that you can't taste much sweetness, but it has a Sake Degree of -31🤣. It's like a plum wine 🤔. This kind of unusual sake is my favorite 🥰. By the way, Bodai Sen is described on the Bodai Ken HP as follows. The first Japanese private book on brewing techniques, "Goshu no Nikki" (Diary of Sake). In this book, which is said to have been written in 1355 or 1487, the brewing of sake at Bodai-sen Shōryaku-ji is described for the first time. The name of the sake is "Bodai-zen. It is the ancestor of today's sake, which is brewed in a jar and not made in stages. This method of sake brewing evolved into a form of sake mother and became widely known as Bodaihashi. Bodai Kenkyujo has revived this "Bodai Sen" at Shoreki-ji Temple for the year 2021. Sake made by unraveling the history of the brewery is a romantic idea. Bodai-izumi 2023 is made by Kaze no Mori's Aburicho Sake Brewery.

The first one is Tsukiyama Tomonori Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Orikagarami Nama This was indeed delicious 🥰. The impression is clean because it is a Nakadori, but it has a strong umami flavor and is very drinkable. It has a freshness to it and is not too heavy, so it goes into your body easily. I would love to drink this at home 😍.

Sake brewed by the owner of Abe Sake Brewery As for these two bottles, I don't remember which was which. Sorry 🙏. I have a faint impression (memory) that both of them are beautiful 😅 but I like strong taste (stupid tongue) so I can't remember the difference in delicate taste 🤣.

I think it is suitable for a food sake 😅.... My memory of the taste is getting a little suspect from this point on 🤣. I was also not sure which sake was which because there were so many glasses lined up. I was in a state of "which sake is which" 🤣.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report 4 Off-line meeting after a long absence is still in the early stages 🥳. Let's go back to the all-you-can-drink menu. Shichihon-yari, Shiga Asahi, Ooragarami This sake was specially brewed for Kumamoto's Inomoto Shuten's 50th Anniversary Hanpukai! Furthermore, this sake was made to the specifications that the manager of RIKI requested (low milled rice from Shiga Asahi and a wooden cask for the yeast 😳! Who is this manager really? We will have a sake that the manager is very passionate about. Although the rice is low-polished, there are no off-flavors, and you can pleasantly feel the rice flavor of orikarami and the lactic acidity of the sake's yeast yeast. Shichihonryari makes a great sake after all 😁.

Aozora Junmai Sake Miyamanishiki I brought this sake because I wanted to bring a sake that is not seen in Kumamoto. I have not had Aozora since two years ago when I drank it outside (on a business trip to Osaka). It is not so sweet, but has a strong flavor. It is quite delicious 🥰 and I feel that I never get tired of drinking it. I drank the same Miyamanishiki 2 years ago and left the same comment 😅.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report (1) We held the Kumamoto Off-line meeting after a long absence. Due to various reasons, it had been 5 months since the last meeting. The place was RIKI as usual. Mr. and Mrs. Honda Mr. kapiyot Mr. Chidorisoku My five usual members Drinking with these members...we drank too much on this day too 🤣. Looking back, we drank 19 kinds of drinks 😱. Before the start of the party, Mr. Chidorisaki informed me that he would be late, so we had a 🍺 for the time being 🍻. Before getting drunk, let's start with the delicate tasting sakes, so here we go! Hibi Hozu One glass per person was OK, so we ordered one. This is the sake I requested from Kumamoto's Inomoto Sake Shop for their 50th anniversary hanpukai. I think I've seen something similar 🤔 somewhere...same as Imameya's hanpukai 🤔. I asked the manager about it and it seems that the request came in around the same time and there was no room in the brewery's tanks, so it was shared by Inamaya and Inamoto Sake Brewery. Chidorisashi-san arrived before the sake arrived 🚗 and since we were all here, we toasted with this sake! The taste is... different from the usual Nichinichi, with an impressive bitterness. It is soft and beautifully sweet at first, and it has a hinohi feel, but the bitterness in the second half is firm and not hinohi-like 😳.
