The second was Kamito, which I enjoyed drinking before.
Domestic rice polished to 65%, 17% alcohol by volume.
It is classified as dry compared to the previous one, but even I, a lover of sweet sake, can enjoy it.

Year-end party #2
All-you-can-drink sake today (at a different restaurant)
Let's start with Kido.
Moderately fruity.
Slightly acidic impression
You can't go wrong with Kido.
Japanese>English

The last one is here, Jyushidai. ‼️
Today we have a Nakadori Junmai Daiginjo Omachi!
45% polished Akaban Omachi, 15% alcohol by volume.
I'm already very drunk,
But it is a Junmai Daiginjo Nakatori!
You can tell this deliciousness in one sip: ❗️
In addition to the peach aroma, clear sweetness, and firm lactic acidity, the Omachi-like umami is also explosive: ‼️
Even if it comes out at the end, it has an unforgettable presence that sets it apart from other sakes!
The satisfaction level of this drinking party was also increased by one rank: ⤴️
We had about 4 gou of sake!
We had a total of 1.5 sake for the 4 of us!
It was a good year-end party 😉.

Nabeshima had gone to another table.
Next he brought us Tobiroki's Special Junmai
Tobiroki is a staple of this restaurant.
We always have it!
55% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume
The mouthfeel is elegant.
Slight melon ginjo aroma and gentle sweetness.
It's not assertive, but it's deeply delicious.
That's the character of Tobiroki. 🙂↕️
It's a quintessential peace of mind. ☺️
I had 3 gos of sake!
Japanese>English
ymdaz
The third was Nabeshima.
This one also came with a mouthful of slices 👏.
60% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
Again served cold!
The aroma is mildly muscat
Quite refreshing compared to the heated Tasake.
We had two pints of this sake with grilled mackerel!
Japanese>English
ymdaz
After the Kuroryu, which is a light and refreshing drink
The manager brought us
Tasake Tokusyu Yamahai "warmed up" 😳.
Wow 💦.
I've been meaning to try heating up some Tasake Jun Dai Yamahai at home, but he beat me to it 🥹!
55% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume
I've never had it heated at this restaurant before!
Heating up a bottle is a luxury for a sake that's only been opened at the mouth!
I drank it while saying
Oh, ‼️
This is very good. ❗️
The warming of the rice gives it a nice acidity and the taste of the rice expands slightly.
The rice flavor is also very delicious.
I can't stand drinking good heated sake in winter!
And it's also delicious warmed up and cooled down 😆.
As expected, Tasake's Yamahai is great for heating up 🈴‼️
I drank 4 gou of it with Kyoto-style oden...
I drank 4 gou!
It was so delicious!

Year-end party season in: ❗️
It's time for more drinking out and more check-ins!
I have to post as soon as I have a drink or else I'll be too busy 😅
I always visit this restaurant at the end of the year for its all-you-can-drink manager's selection!
First of all, it was a rare black dragon!
It's a mouthful!
55% polished Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture, 15.5% alcohol by volume.
The aroma of ginjo is softly and discreetly wafting through the air.
It also has a slightly dry taste with a slight hint of ginjo aroma.
It has a clean and refreshing Ihyakumangoku-like mouthfeel.
The last taste is sharp and bitter.
I enjoyed 2 gou of sake without fighting with the sashimi 😊.

Last one is raw sake😳.
50% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
I drank it thinking, "Jyushidai is a good hi-ire sake, so this was the last one...",
I thought to myself, "This is it!
The freshness that is typical of nama-zake is wonderful.
The taste is a little rough and dark, with a rising aroma and strong lactic acidity that is gorgeous and rich, yum ✨👍!
I used to think that Jyushi Yosai was more of a draft than a pure sake, but I've changed my mind.
I thought that Jyushidai was more of a "nama-zake" than a "nama-zake", but I was wrong,
I was very satisfied with the 3 types of sake 😃.
Japanese>English
ymdaz
The second cup is extra.
40% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
Hmmm, maybe I drank in the wrong order😅.
Of course it's delicious with its 🍑 aroma, melting sweetness, and exquisite lactic acidity, but if you drink it while your tongue still remembers Ryugetsu, you'll feel that it lacks a role... (No, it's delicious, really.)
(No, it's delicious, really...)
I tried to drink the best one first before getting drunk, but it backfired 😭.

Here's a log from a lunchtime drink at a familiar restaurant
After waiting in line to compare 3 types of Jyushidai and 4 types of No.6, I chose the Jyushidai 😉.
What's the matter? Isn't it more expensive than before?
I asked the owner.
The price of Jyushiyo has gone up since they added new products to their lineup.
The price has gone up because of new products.
But it may become easier to get it after a few years with new products.
I also heard a happy prediction.
First of all, Ryugetsu, which I drank before and enjoyed so much!
35% polished Yamadanishiki from the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture
Alcohol 16%.
The aroma of peachy peach from the Jyushidai
Gorgeous sweetness and rich lactic acidity
The gorgeous sweetness and rich lactic acidity come together in harmony and bring happiness to the palate.
It's still delicious!

The year of the Ocean99 series starts here, so they call it "Departure" for a new start.
It's a great way to start the year again after crossing the 500 mark. ☺️
55% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
When you remove the plastic cover and open the crown
The opening sound is a long tone with mf and bouji-joujou
Pour into a glass and immediately microbubbles 🫧 at the bottom
The top aroma is honey apple 🍎.
At this point, there is no doubt that it is delicious 😋.
One sip and it's exactly as you'd expect: ❗️
The freshness of the fragrance is unforgettable!
The sweetness and juiciness are moderate for a chrysanthemum.
The refreshing taste is fresh as new sake ✨.
Delicious ✨❗️

500 check-in ‼️🎯
I had a hard time deciding, but I went with this one 😊.
Personally, this is by far the best Tasake ✨.
It is only available once a year and only in one bottle, so the purchase hurdle is high!
(but it looks like you can buy it online too (with a premium))
I had to rearrange my fridge to accommodate a bottle.
I saved up my points and made a reservation to buy it.
I think it deserves to be a Kiri number. ☺️
I looked back at all the November postings for Sake no Wa no Tasake since it was made in November and to my surprise, this brand has 0 postings😳.
I'd love to share this deliciousness with you: ❗️
The opening sound is silent
The top aroma is honey apple 🍎 and a little muscat
The mouthfeel is very smooth and clear.
And yet
The sweetness is there, but the acidity of the Yamahai is very clear.
I usually love the acidity of sake, so I can't resist 😍.
Even though it is Yamahai, it is not heavy.
You can also enjoy the gorgeous aroma of daiginjo-style
It is truly a bottle of supreme ❗️
It can be served as a mealtime drink or on its own.
I drank too much while I was drinking it 🤣.
It's a bottle, so I'll enjoy it for a while yet 😊.

Thank you very much, Tomoyuki Kumagai 😊.
My preference is Yamahai, but Yamadanishiki Jundai is also a perfect twin of Yamahai and Yamadanishiki Jundai.
I had a chance to buy this one too, but my wallet wouldn't allow me to buy a double bottle with Yamahai Jun Dai 😅.

Thank you very much, ma-ki-.
Tasake is not so much premium as it is available in some places (depending on the timing, of course).
(Of course, it depends on the timing.)
I will continue to enjoy it at my own pace!

Thank you, Colonel Lal 😊.
Tasake is also pricey when it comes to jun-dai, isn't it~!
In addition, this is a bottle of sake ❗️
I can't afford it for everyday drinking, but since it was the last one, I took the plunge 🤣.

After drinking a heated bottle of Tasake Tokusyu Yamahai outside, I heated this one up and it was still delicious: ❗️
I thought I would have tried the Tokujun if only warmed up, but the Jun Dai is a great cold sake that you can enjoy twice by starting with one sip of the excellent cold sake and then heating it up to lukewarm by putting hot water around the sip in the middle. ‼️

The ☃️ niggles are here again this year ❄️
It's my favorite and has been for 4 years in a row!
I've been drinking it for four years in a row,
But for some reasons
I had to leave it next to the fridge for a while and...
More than half of it was leaking 😱😱😱😱
Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki, 13% alcohol
I can't even see the nigori no mai.
I can't even drink the supernatant 😭
While feeling down...
I twisted the nigori cap tightly.
The sound of opening the bottle is still in the half-full state.
It's so healthy
Pour it into a glass and it's bubbly 🫧.
The top aroma is calpis, lactic acid, and pear.
The first sip is full of nigori, lactic sweetness, and a burst of shuwashu deliciousness✨.
I was told that the sake is now made using the ikuhashi method this year.
I have a feeling that the silky thickness has increased.
I have the impression that it is working in the right direction.
Not only the sweetness, but also the slight bitterness at the end.
Although it was incomplete, I confirmed that it was delicious.
It's too bad that it leaked so much because it was so good 😫.
Lesson learned
Do not put the cloudy cap on the side.
No ❗️ never ‼️" 🙅.
Now, to get back on track, here's the next 500: ‼️

Hi ymdaz 😃

Hi Jay & Nobby😃

I went to a liquor store I sometimes go to.
I found a sign of "Shisui no Yoake" at the front of the store. ❗️
I asked him about it and he said he had just pressed it the day before yesterday😃.
50% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume
Excitedly, I twisted the aluminum cap
I twisted the aluminum cap tightly.
Push-push-push with mp!
You can already smell the ginjo aroma wafting from the mouth of the bottle!
A little after pouring, fine bubbles
Fine bubbles are rising to the bottom of the glass.
It's fresh, isn't it?
The top aroma is melon to honey apple.
When you drink it, you can feel the fresh chili flavor and the aromatic sweetness.
It is sweet and juicy with aromatic sweetness. ❗️
This aromatic intensity and chili sensation can only be achieved by freshly pressed sake.
Hooray for sake nouveau!
I've never had Kouko before but this is delicious 😋!
A good start for a new sake 👍

Lately, compared to before
I think I see Hakutsuru Nishiki sake more often.
I've always wondered what it was like🤔
I was curious about it, so I bought some.
30% polished Hakutsuru-Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, 13% alcohol by volume
Oh, it's been a while since I've had a low alcohol 😲.
I'm not sure if the low alcohol content is affecting the sweetness of the sake.
I wonder if the low alcohol is affecting it?
When the aluminum cap is opened neatly
The opening sound is bouju ♫ in mp.
The aroma is... surprisingly modest.
When you drink it, the aroma is slightly apricot.
The taste is... oh, it is indeed sweet ✨.
Next to the clear sweetness like cotton candy
Next to the distinct sweetness like cotton candy, the acidity is modestly close to it.
There is no bitterness.
I have the impression that many other breweries' Hakutsuru-nishiki sake
I have the impression that many other breweries' sake made with Hakutsuru-nishiki also have a reputation for being sweet.
Maybe it is that kind of sake rice.
I like sweet sake, so I'm totally fine with it.
but for those who like dry sake, it might be a little too sweet 😅.

The first rice wine I ever drank was the cherry blossom label of the One Hundred and Forty-Four.
Then I had to try the Momiji label!
Aomori Hana Moui 50% polished, 16% alcohol by volume
When the aluminum cap is twisted tight, the opening sound is silent!
The top aroma is of honey apple 🍎✨.
Slight lactic acidity
Sweetness and honey apple aroma on the palate
Wonderful ✨
A little more acidity would have made it more pineapple like, but it's just on the edge of being apple, which is a pride of Aomori Prefecture 🤣.
It has a beautiful mouthfeel like a daiginjo.
The aroma is more than just umami, it's the aroma that makes you drink it.
The last one is a bit bitter.
Tasake is really good after all!
I'm very satisfied.
Pic 4 shows the autumn leaves of Mt. Shitsubutsu (above) and Hiuchidake (below) over Ozegahara, which we climbed the other day.
The leaves of the mountain lilacs and the Japanese rowan trees were as red as the label on the sake 😊.

If it is a new brand of seasonal sake from Akabu, you can't miss it 😤.
60% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume.
Although it is not generally high in alcohol
It is the highest alcohol of all the Akabu I've had!
When I remove the plastic cover and open the crown
The opening sound is a jupo with mp.
Uitate aroma is apricot, a little bit rummy.
When I drank it, I found it to be very strong.
I was under the impression that Akabu's seasonal sake was light.
but this one has a rich honey flavor!
Sourness is asserted in the front, and sweetness is also strong.
It may remind you a little of Yonotori 🤔.
The bitterness that follows immediately after is also impressive.
I haven't had it recently, but I think it's close to Kouei Kiku no Ikubou.
When I looked at it carefully, I saw the description "It can be served on the rocks if you like".
I see... I knew it!
I couldn't resist the temptation to enjoy the rich honey flavor as it is 🤣.

The third cup was a rice wine with a label I had never seen before!
I heard it was a limited collaboration with IMADEYA!
Akita Sake Komachi 55% polished, 15% alc.
The aroma is of honey apple.
Sweetness is strong and acidity is moderate for a rice wine.
Unlike Jikin, it has a mild taste.
I drank it smoothly without a hitch with splendid sashimi.
We drank it smoothly without a sticking point!
Japanese>English
ymdaz
It's a lunchtime drink at a restaurant that has become a familiar place for us.
It's been a long time since we've had Jikin.
It's been a long time since we've had Senbon-Nishiki!
Before this Jikin
I had a Jun Dai Ginpu of Hana Yokuyo before this Jikin,
Ah!
This Jikin may be close to Hanayuyo!
It's so delicious 😋.
The aroma is pineapple 🍍.
Fresh taste with a bit of tanginess only because it's raw.
Mineral impression too!
The taste of Jijin is rich and impressive
but it's skimpy.
I need to re-evaluate my evaluation.

Cooler weather is finally here.
I'm thinking of drinking hiyayadoroshi to warm up my sake.
I thought I'd try some hiyaoroshi.
The manager of my home liquor store recommended it to me.
I bought this one!
60% polished Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume
When the aluminum cover is removed and the crown is opened
The opening sound is silent.
The top-tasting aroma is a modest Japanese pear.
On the palate
After a slightly cool tangy sensation at first
After the initial cool tangy sensation, the rich flavor comes out....
This, this, this is hiyaoroshi. ☺️
The round and thick flavor spreads.
Bitterness comes later.
It's autumn!
I can feel the season's progress with sake!
Sake drinkers are so lucky!

Day 2
Today we have a tin katakuchi and a glass boar's mouth.
Louder opening sound when opening the bottle than the first day ♫
Maybe because we used a katakuchi surrounded by ice.
The aroma is of Japanese pear with a touch of citrus.
The mouthfeel is very refreshing.
Oh my god!
I'm going to drink more and more!

3rd day
Warm to lukewarm in the fullness of time.
Put the warmed sake in a tin cup
Pour it into a flat sake cup

It's not a rich type of sake.
