Kiku-Masamune Shuzo Ginneo Cup" was purchased at a convenience store. It was fruity and very easy to drink🍶 with a clean sweet taste.
I am glad that I can easily buy it when I want to drink at home. ☺️
Sake with a cat design I found at Cardi's earlier: 🐈⬛🍶
I faintly remember that the green bamboo design was sweeter and easier to drink. If I see it again, I'll buy it.

The eighth sake was Nakajima Brewery's "Re-finish Kijoshu" ♪
I must have never had kijoshu before! Since I had been craving a sweet sake by now, I was also attracted by the -35 sake degree value listed on the event pamphlet~.
The cute sushi label also caught my eye, but I relented and poured myself a glass of kijoshu.
Oh, oh, it was delicious 🥹💕!
Juicy and super sweet...that's good!
I would love to try it with a pound cake full of sake! Wouldn't that be a nice synergy?
It seems that "re-finish" means that the kijoshu was made with kijoshu. Since kijoshu uses sake where brewing water is used in the first place, the layering method of re-finishing kijoshu is amazing~.
I was getting drunk, so I had to finish off the event here 🍶 with a variety of sake, which was a great learning experience!

The seventh sake was a beautiful effervescent junmai nama sake, Usagishin BLACK Hidahomare 🫧.
We drank several draft sake at this event, and each of them is really unique! Even though there is a classification, I couldn't understand the characteristics until I drank them, and I was deeply impressed that sake is very profound. ......☺️
The tangy taste makes it perfect for a mid-meal drink, right? It was a sake that I wanted to drink slowly and savor 🍶.

The sixth sake is "Takejaku" by Otsuka Shuzo 🍶The Suzume mascot and the Suzume on the label are adorable!
The first sip gave me a "mature" taste! There is also a hint of mellow fruitiness ......?
The sake leaves a lingering taste on the tip of the tongue but does not burn the throat, so it seems to go well with food 😋.
I think it was about an hour after the event started, but there was something called "peace water time" 💧.
During the "10 minutes, all breweries took a break from serving sake. It was a nice gesture on the part of the management to allow time for everyone to adjust by drinking some "peace and quiet" water.
Drink sake, but don't be drunk. ☝️

The fifth sake was a gold-colored label with the words "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" on it! and "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" on the gold label.
As soon as I drank it, I felt the alcohol hit the tip of my tongue and throat with a thud! It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, and it may be just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who knew both sour and sweet sides of sake!
I thought it would be different if I had it with a dish with a strong flavor, but I had already finished the appetizer 🤣.

The fourth sake was Harada Shuzo's "Yamaguruma Natsu Ginjo Kuradashi Ichiban" 🌻.
After drinking the autumn limited edition sake, the season was rewound lol. It is a sake that is stored in ice temperature after being squeezed.
It's gorgeous & rich when you drink it! I quite like this one too ......😋 It's gorgeous, but not too much on the nose for my liking?
It seems that they use "Hana Yeast", the world's first excellent sake yeast isolated from natural flowers. They seem to be the first brewery in the world to use "Hana Yeast," a superior sake yeast isolated from natural flowers.

While looking for the third sake, I found an "Autumn Season Limited" sake 💡The second sake was nigori, so I asked the brewer for a sake with a refreshing taste, and he poured me "Umakara Junmai Sake Moon Panda★Autumn Season Limited".
Su, my favorite taste ......🐼🍶!
It was refreshing, yet gentle and mild, just like a clear autumn day... and the appetizer set to go with the sake was also a good choice 😋!
I'm also interested in the summer-only Junmai "Sou" sake! I'd like to try it next time.
Drunk on Gifu's Local Sake 2024@Tokyo
The second sake was Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Frozen Nama Sake by Miwa Shuzo! The freshly made nigori sake was frozen and stored to stop fermentation.
It was a hot day, so I was attracted by the word "frozen!
I've never had nigori before, so I was very excited ...... I could feel the sweetness like sweets 😋 I want to drink it chibi chibi!

We participated in an event where delicious Gifu sake was gathered 😆.
There were many sake brewers there, but I chose "Fumamori" as my first sake 👀. I thought I'd start with the low alcohol one... but it wasn't lacking!
It was refreshing and easy to drink, but also had a gorgeous flavor.
As a reminder!
I wanted to drink Jade Spring, a liquor made in Taiwan, on my trip to Taiwan, but I accidentally couldn't drink and buy it ......🥹I should have bought it when I saw it at a convenience store in Taiwan and drank it in my hotel room 😭
Remind myself not to forget it the next time I have a chance to drink Jade Spring again!
The photos were of Japanese sake sold at a supermarket in the basement of Taipei 101, Taipei's landmark tower 🍶.
Junmai Ginjo-shu was selected as "the perfect sake for a meal. @Comparison of 3 dry sake
I could feel the sweetness of the sake and was deeply impressed by the rich individuality of the dry sake 😋.
It goes well with beef tendon. I may have understood why it is a good sake for a meal!
If you are a slam dunk fan, this is a label that will make you h🏀! And dry! It was an eye-opening sake feeling.
When I drank it alone, I felt a twinge in my nose, but as soon as I drank it with food, I had the impression that it became easy to drink all at once. It gets better and better 😋.
Hato Masamune Natsujun" 🐦 is an Aomori sake that was selected for the three dry sake drinking comparison.
First, we compared the sake and took a sip...it was fruity and mellow! I found it to be the least peculiar, but when I drank it with food, its presence remained the same...! Is it the unique flavor of special junmai sake? I'm not sure 😋.
Junmai Daiginjo Eikofuji Sake Mirai! It was served with sakekasu ice cream (tsubuan monaka ice cream).
It had a fruity sweetness but was refreshing, giving the impression that it matched the cool dessert 🍨.
It also has an elegant appearance and is smooth and light. The dish was perfect for the end of the day, and the 10 types of sake were also perfect for the end of the day!
Original junmai sake from "Itoshi", a Japanese food and junmai sake restaurant in Ebisu!
It was served as one of the 10 types of sake. 8 types, but I still remember that this "Itokoshi" had a very flat taste and was delicious (I'm getting drunk gradually...).
The hard-edged chivalry is mysterious🍶 as some of the detailed information on the label seems to be a secret.
I found it easy to drink, probably because of the use of Yamada Nishiki. Delicious!
