We came to Tamatsukuri Onsen in Shimane! The cuisine was full of crab 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀. We also chose Shimane's local sake 😊. Yamadanishiki 45% polished, 16% alcohol Mild sweetness and firm rice flavor. Little ginjo aroma and mild acidity Good sharpness, which is the taste of San-in region's sake. It does not disturb delicate dishes like crab even if you drink it as a mealtime sake, eat crab, drink it again, eat crab again... and repeat. The synergistic effect of the deliciousness made us happy and the night in Shimane was over 😆.

7th cup I didn't want to come this far and be disappointed, so I I decided to go to the Wind Forest without adventuring It was almost the last one in the bottle. I poured it into a glass and after a little while I could see the bubbles coming out. As expected from Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 65% polished, 15% alcohol by volume With a slightly rummy banana aroma🍌. Delicious! I was drinking it while thinking I realized I was starting to speak incoherently I had to cut it off. It was a great all-you-can-drink lineup and the yakitori was delicious. and the yakitori was delicious and very satisfying 😊.

Hi ymdaz 🐦. Lovely line up! The description of the menu and the amount of each drink is like a delight for me 😁. It's hard to go after Jikon -> Yonotori -> Collage 🤭.

6th cup The first drink I had was the Collage. I chose Koraku 50% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume This is 2 cups of wine Maybe because of the jet lag I'm very drunk today. I can't write any more detailed comments. but the sweetness of this lineup is as good as you'd expect.

5th cup My companion has never had a kijoshu before. Continuing the +100 yen series Yonotori after a long time Akita sake brewing rice, 55% polished koji rice, 60% polished kake rice, 13% alcohol by volume The taste is so rich that even after Jikin, it can't be beaten. It is sweet but also has a clear acidity. There is no dullness that is often found in kijo sake. It goes well with yakitori! My companion was surprised to drink it too!

4th cup I just drank 1 gong. Entering the +100 yen series I decided on an orikara of Jikin, which I have never had before! This is the first bottle I've had since I came here! It's just as empty as I'd like it to be! 60% polished Gohyakumangoku (80% Yamadanishiki, 20% Yamadanishiki), 15.5 degrees alcohol by volume. Fruity ginjo aroma and rich sweetness. The fruity ginjo aroma and rich sweetness make this one a definite delicacy.

3rd cup There was one that Abe-chan had never had before, so we chose this one. Alcoholic 12 degrees Let's take a look at it. It has a clear acidity. It's quite tasty, too! It seems to be a white malted rice type. The aroma is muscat-like. I'm getting a lot of hits today! It made me think I should drink more!

Second cup. Since the restaurant seems to be pushing Sengkyo I decided to try the Snowman, which was half overflowed this year and left me somewhat dissatisfied! This one is a collaboration with UA and is an assemblage of 5 different kinds! Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki 70% Yamadanishiki, Kame-no-o 30% polished to 90%, 13% alcohol. This bottle has just been opened. Great expectations! Take a sip from the cloudy white glass! Oh, it's delicious! The sweetness, richness, and lactic acidity are irresistible! And yet, it does not feel heavy and is easy to drink! I had avoided drinking UA Snowball because it was a bit expensive, but the taste made me want to drink it even if it was expensive! It goes great with yakitori (grilled liver). ‼️

Suddenly decided to go out for a drink! I chose from a list of restaurants I would like to visit! All you can drink in small glasses of 60ml per glass Only one glass of Akahoshi mark is available. Shinsei, Jikin, and Jyushidai are +100 yen! Distinguished brands are lined up! The first glass is Sanchi Yamadanishiki! The bottle was less than half full. But on the contrary, the gas has subsided and the sweetness has come out well, so it is delicious! Perfect for drinking as a starter.

Two brands of flying taverns then I can't help but try the other one! Omachi, 18 degrees alcohol (too high!) The Uetateka... Oh, maybe it's not so fruity! What is this aroma? The menu says "lily". I see! 🤔 It sure smells like flowers. When you put it in your mouth After the sweetness, a thick flavor and a hint of spiciness follows. After the sweetness, it is followed by a strong umami and a hint of spiciness. immediately followed by a hint of bitterness. I was surprised to find that A long lingering aftertaste awaited me. The taste is not what you would expect from the specs This is not the taste you would expect from the specs. This is Mr. Noriguchi's sake with the magic of Noriguchi: ❗️ Flying Izakaya I enjoyed it 😆.

(While I was in the Arctic Circle, the Wi-Fi went out and I was in a troublemaker. I lost my first check-in. Reposting from memory😭 Sorry to Jay & Nobby who commented on the first one 🙏) Flying Tavern today: ✈️ We'll be eating Western food. Sake is sake😘. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, Yamadanishiki, Yukinosei Alcohol 17 degrees Celsius Not much of an upfront aroma A little maturing aroma When you put it in your mouth As soon as you take a sip As soon as the sweetness spreads As soon as the sweetness spreads, the rich umami spreads in unison. This is delicious. ‼️ It is not a fruity sake to enjoy the aroma with the nose but a sake to enjoy the taste that spreads in the mouth. I have never experienced such a taste before. It is a buyer's choice! It was really delicious. ❗️

Today's meal was a hometown blowfish 🐡. But then I realized I didn't have any sake. I went to the nearest liquor store. There it was, Yamazan ❗️ Thank goodness there are only 5 special dealers in Tokyo‼️ Hitogokochi 55% polished, 15% alcohol by volume Nagano sake is Hitogokochi! I'm looking forward to seeing how it is! Remove the plastic cover and open the bottle. When the crown is opened, the sound of opening the bottle is mp and spot on! I think it's modest for a draft sake. First of all, it is a cold sake. Pour it into a glass. It's very light cloudy and slightly white. Microbubbles at the bottom of the glass The top aroma is a mix of citrus and green apple When you drink it, you will see The sourness and freshness of the unpasteurized sake is totally refreshing. But the sweetness is just right, so it's really easy to drink. It's really easy to drink! The bitterness is also present in the last part. I wonder if it's okay to do this with such a junmai ginjo... I was wondering if I could do it with such a junmai ginjo... Slowly put the seared fillet into the sake and wait for 3 minutes... The slightly brown-colored fillet sake A little spiciness is added to the sake. The flavor of the fillet and the savory aroma are added to the sake. Blissful deliciousness 😆. Unlike the typical Honjozo or Junmai Hire Sake, which has a strong flavor, the Ginjo's clean taste was also quite pleasing 😘.

I wanted to drink something sweet, so I went to a liquor store in the middle of nowhere. I successfully bought a bottle of Genmai. It was made in February this year, so it was freshly pressed 😆. Miyamanishiki 49% polished, 16% alcohol! Daiginjo class! Twist the aluminum cap tightly. The sound of opening the bottle is silent. The aroma is softly good from the mouth of the bottle. The top aroma is of honey apple. There is also a lactic acidity. On the palate... Yay! As sweet as expected 😘. Gorgeous fullness with lactic acidity and malted rice I like it 👍 The chiliiness of the sake is a little bit... The last taste of just opened is just a little bitterness I think the true value of Genmai comes after the second day. It tasted rich like Yamadanishiki from the first day. It's been a long time since I've tasted Genshu Mai 😉.

The third day of "Genmai" after a day of absence. It's still very tasty! ‼️ The sweetness is great! The aroma also has a nuance of ripe melon It tastes even more gorgeous ✨. This is amazing!

Yamazan, which I met once for a drink outside and enjoyed it. I was hesitant to go to the distributor I checked out because it was not far away but a little difficult to get to... then I found a notice that the liquor store nearest to my house had started selling it. I bought it that day! The price of 1,870 yen for a pure large bottle is also great 👏. 45% polished Yamae-Nishiki from Nagano Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume. I removed the plastic cover and opened the crown. The sound of opening the bottle is f a good sound ♫ There's also smoke in the bottle mouth. ☺️ Pour it into a glass and you'll see microbubbles 🫧 at the bottom. That's what I'm talking about 👍 The top aroma is softly of apples. It's not a honey apple, but a sour apple. When you drink it, you will find that it is a little hard but has a beautiful sake quality. ❗️ Good sweetness with apple aroma. The gas that has melted into the wine makes it pop in the mouth. After enjoying the acidity with a sense of freshness It finishes with a rather pronounced bitterness. The impression is similar to that of a dry cider The balance is just right for drinking as a food wine. I was thinking of drinking it with soup stock with oden, but then I decided that this beautiful sake is better served as it is and enjoyed it cold 😊.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. Yamazan, here it comes: ‼️ I don't mean to tell Mr. J&N, who loves Tochigi, but there are so many delicious brands in Nagano, such as Shinshu Kamerei, Sogape, Genmai, Mikotsuru, Shinanotsuru, Jindo, Yamasan... it's amazing 🫢.

I wonder if I should make a request at the end. But then the manager brought it to me first 🤣. Limited Isoboast: ❗️ One of our members loves Iso Boast. He was so happy 😊. 50% Higashijo Yamadanishiki koji rice, 55% polished kake rice Alcohol 16-17 degrees Fruity ginjo aroma and a hint of sourness and a hint of sweetness hidden in the back. The sake is dry with a sake strength of +4.5. It has a wonderful sharpness and disappears quickly. It's a taste that dry sake lovers can't get enough of! The last one is high alcohol. I drank at a fast pace today. I'm full! I couldn't finish the tai-meshi. Finished this isosho boast with 1 gou ‼️ We drank a lot this time too 😉.

Fourth, another Tobiroki Black Label, which I haven't had in a long time. The nickname I've given myself is "The Daughter of the Window". This one is a sure thing too 🥹. Made from domestic rice with 40% polished koji rice and 50% polished kake rice Alcohol 16 degrees The aroma is a hint of melon. It is not flashy, but rather understated, but it is deeply delicious. I was drinking 2 gos of sake while looking at a bottle of sake. I was drinking 2 cups of sake while looking at a bottle of sake and unusually he went to another table😅. Everyone had already finished their drinks. There was only one more to drink! Now what to do?

The third was a Hidakami I'd never had before. This is also a mouthful 🥹 of a bottle The opening sound is mf and boujjoo ♫ It's a long tone. 50% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume I was excited to drink it.

The second is the first time in a long time. The first bottle is open 😆. The first bottle was opened with a bubbling sound of mp ♫ It sounded good! 50% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume The top aroma is banana with a hint of muscat. The banana aroma is more pronounced on the palate. The sweetness is clear. It has a fresh and strong flavor. Delicious 🤩. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

The sweetness is just right and definitely delicious. ❗️ This would go well with anything! I had 2 gos of sake with appetizers. I'll go to the next one with a good mood 😃.

While Sogape, who was hard, slept in the fridge, I chose instead the nigori of Akabu, which I drink every year. Oh, This year, they added the snowflake ❄️ mark! I'd say the nigori is less than an inch long. SNOW XMAS is a normal cap but SNOW EXTRA is a cap with a bit of a smear... Domestic rice polished to 60%, low alcohol content of 13%. Remove the aluminum cover Open the nigori mark crown... So much caution ⚠️ warning... no sound😅 No automatic stirring (well, as usual) Microbubbles🫧 appear when you pour into a glass Uitate aroma is citrus, rummy, Japanese pear When you drink it, you will find that it has a good sweetness and acidity The taste has a lactic acidity. The freshness of the melted gas bouncing in the mouth is also nice. The last part is pleasantly slightly bitter. Taste that can be recognized the moment you drink it. This is important too! I'll drink it because it's low in alcohol. ❗️ Akabu no nigori is a delicious wine that you can't miss every year. No doubt about it 😉.

It's been a while since I've had a Niimasa. I wanted to continue drinking some more of the traditional sake, so I bought a bottle. I bought a bottle of Sogape's new sake Miyamanishiki 59% polished, 14% alc. The alcohol is 1 degree lower than last year's. Popped the cork and poured it into a glass. No ginjo aroma 😅. Slightly tinged aroma like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. This twang will go away after a few days. When you drink it, you will notice Strong acidity as expected The taste is dry with a hint of sweetness. Still, it's a bit hard. It doesn't open up the flavor. I can't taste much of Sogape. Decided to keep it in the fridge for a while without going too far. ❗️
