At a drinking party with some work-related people sometime ago (4) last. No notes on the tasting, just a log for the record 😅. Drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. I asked my colleague who liked Tohokuizumi to try Tetorigawa. It is a junmai sake "niji" from the origin series, which is close to the original, standard sake 🍶. The reason why some of the photos are out of focus is not because I was drunk, but because my coworkers, who are under the influence of alcohol and want to drink as soon as possible around here, are pressuring me to take photos as soon as possible 😅. The taste of the sake is just as expected, Tetorigawa. It's light and more modern than classic. It's light and more modern than classic. It's a good sake to drink with friends and family. I like Ishikawa's sakes because they are refreshing, but also have a nice flavor, so I would like to try them all again. It was another fun day of drunken drinking 🍶. Thanks for the food😊.

Jay & Nobby, good evening here too😄Thank you😊. I tend to be biased towards certain brands and seasonal sake for home use and tend to pass over the standard type of sake, so I had to drink the standard sake that is the face of that brewery 😊.

Aladdin, I enjoyed reading your drinking report😊. I enjoyed watching your report on the drinking party 😊 You chose the exquisite food and beverage for your colleague! It has sweetness and sourness... ✨I'm impressed that you are able to drink it so well even though it's not the type of drink you usually drink.

At a drinking party with some people from my office sometime ago (3) Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅. A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. The organizer was considerate enough to choose a restaurant that serves Sake, so out of respect, I drank only Sake 🍶. (I didn't drink as much as the other sake drinkers at Sake no Wa 😄) After the third glass or so, everyone around us was in sake mode. I toasted again with a tokkuri of tohokuizumi (cold or at room temperature) to match my love of clear, dry sake 🍶. There is nothing more to say about this kind of sake, it's clear and dry, and you can taste the umami flavor of the rice. I love to drink sake by myself, but it is also intoxicating to drink sake from the same sake bottle with a group of friends, pouring and pouring while enjoying the same sake 🍶. I was able to experience the moment when sake, which brews harmony, really comes into its own! My colleague who was drinking with us liked it so much that he repeated the tokuri several times! It is a great pleasure for me to know that people like and enjoy drinking any kind of sake. ☺️

(2) at a drinking party with some people from my office sometime ago. Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅. A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. The organizer was very considerate and chose a restaurant that serves Sake, so out of respect, I only drank Sake 🍶. (I didn't drink as much as the other sake drinkers at Sake no Wa 😄) Next, I wanted to try a sake I had never had before, so here it is. This is Kanazawa-ya from Kita no Hana Sake Brewery in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture 🍶. The rice used is not stated on the label, but it seems to be Fukushima Prefecture's original rice called "Satoyama no Tsubu"! The aroma is mild, apparently using No. 9 series yeast. The taste is dry with a hint of sweetness, but it is also dry with a hint of spiciness 😅. When I drink with colleagues who know each other well, I am so distracted by talking and listening that it is difficult to do a precise tasting (or rather, to keep a concrete memory of the aroma and taste I felt at that time) 😌. I'm not sure I'm capable of doing this, but it was a drunken drink during a meal 🍶.

At a drinking party with my work colleagues sometime ago (1) Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅. A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. The organizer was very considerate and chose a restaurant that also has sake 🍶. So instead of beer, we chose Koei Kiku's first brand of the season, Noon Crescent 🍶 for the toast. I've been known to take pictures of the bottles when I drink sake, so everyone is very considerate and waits to toast until I'm done taking pictures😅. If you look at the 4th photo, you can see how active the gas is 🫧🫧🫧. It is unusual that the yeast used is Saga Hagakure yeast🦠, which is original to Saga Prefecture! Saga Hagakure yeast was first developed in 2023 with a pineapple-like aroma, and was later joined by other yeasts with pear-like and green apple-like aromas! I don't have tasting notes, so I can't give you a detailed report, but I can say that it was a very easy to drink sake! I can't report the details since I don't have tasting notes, but I can say that it was a very smooth and refreshing sake! It was the type of sake that I would drink at home if I had the chance and would not miss it 😄. It was delicious! Thanks for the treat 🍶.

A test brew by Masamune Kikki, brewed with Fukushima Prefecture's original sake rice "Fukunoka" and performed in a refreshingly gorgeous way. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. The aroma is fresh and sweet. Grapefruit, white grapes, white peaches, sweet ripe melon, and young bananas with a titillating and fine stimulation. Aromatic and fragrant, like a perfume. Rice aroma like white dumplings and polished rice. Smooth on the palate. The first touch of sweetness is honest and firm. Stimulation of extremely fine gassiness that was not apparent on the exterior. Refreshing aromatic overtones, including fine acidity, spread with gentle and transparent acidity. Firm sweetness, transparent acidity, and gorgeous hints of aroma are just gorgeous. The clear umami flows smoothly and finishes nicely with a slight bitterness towards the end of the swallow. The lingering aftertaste is medium short with a hint of bitterness. On the second day after opening the bottle, the aroma settles down and the flavor seems to come together. The deep sweetness combined with fruity overtones is gorgeous. The light acidity accompanied by a gaseous sensation spreads a gentle sweetness and sourness, like first love. The pleasantly intoxicating overtone flows with a sense of transparency and sharpness. Quite intoxicating. ☺️ Delicious~☺️

The bottle was opened after about two years of ice aging! Pale yellow-green in appearance. The aroma is gentle, fresh and gorgeous. Freshly cut pears, green apples, young melons and green bananas. The coolness of fresh herbs. When the temperature rises, it has a rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The texture is smooth and silky, with a very subtle gas-like sensation. From the moderate and beautiful sweetness, a refreshing and cool acidity spreads quickly and tickles the palate with the stimulation of the gaseous sensation. On the tongue, the modest sweetness is balanced by a clear, clean umami flavor, and then it quickly clears up. The finish is medium with a hint of fruity and rice aroma. On the fourth day after opening the bottle... 🍶. The aroma is more fruity, sweet and refreshing, and the rice aroma is more pronounced. On the palate, the sweetness has taken a step up in tone, clear yet firm. The fine chili-like sensation of gas and the cool, refreshing acidity are maintained, while the smooth sweetness is filled with a beautiful umami flavor. The rice flavor is typical of Hitogokki-chi in its umami. It leaves a slight bitterness and a slight astringency on the tongue with a tight aftertaste. I still like it. ☺️ Thank you for the treat 🍶.

Tomikuchiyo Sake Brewery's 100th Anniversary Sake: ㊗️💯 It is a 700 check-in celebration sake 🍶. Slightly pale golden green in appearance. Very fine bubbles in the glass. Aroma is extremely floral and fresh Nabeshima fruity. Green apple, fresh pear, ripe white peach and melon. Acacia overflowing from the glass, freshly scented chervil. Beautiful rice aroma. The wonderful ginjo aroma, like a fine perfume, adds to the 100th anniversary. The stimulation of fine gas sensation tickling the tongue in the smooth texture. The rich sweetness of the flavor seeps into your mouth, filling it as if you had just eaten a mouthful of fruit. The sweetness and acidity are juicy. The sweetness and acidity are juicy, and the gorgeous overtone is rich with the aroma of rice. After the mid-palate, there is no cloying taste and it is simply beautiful. Scattered acidity and a gaseous sparkle. The dryness that passes through the nose is also gorgeous. Even the umami when swallowed is beautiful, and the long aftertaste is beautiful. The fruity and gorgeous aroma and the wonderful aftertaste lasts for a long time, and you can be enchanted. Words may be unnecessary. I enjoyed this wonderful sake while thinking about many things 🍶.

Kangiku Meikozo's new product is an orikami sake brewed with Kotobukinmu. It has a fruity aroma typical of Kangiku and a lively gasiness. It has a modest and elegant sweetness, a refreshing dryness, and a good rice flavor with a hint of bitterness. It is a spring moon-viewing sake, named "Hazy Moon" or "Oborozuki" to compare its cloudy appearance to the hazy spring night sky. Jushikinmu is a sake brewing rice produced in Fukuoka Prefecture. The name comes from the name of a rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling) story told by the breeder, who is a rakugo (comic storytelling) fan 😄. The appearance is a hazy, dark fog-like appearance with a light golden hue when orikara is used. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, THE cold chrysanthemum. Freshly cut red apples🍎, fresh pears, young bananas. Floral white flowers. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. The taste has a refreshing gasiness. The sweetness is modest but elegant. There is a refreshing acidity. In the refreshing sweetness and acidity, the flavor of rice from the sake lees and a light bitterness can be felt, and together with the sweet and gorgeous hint of aroma, it is pleasantly intoxicating. It flows nicely with a refreshing dryness and finishes crisp and clean. The aftertaste is medium. I like it very much. ☺️

I would like to drink a variety of Omi sake from Shiga Prefecture in the future, so I started with a Sandeshi I bought at a supermarket for ease. It is a special junmai Shiga Watabunejo Rokugo (No. 6) from Asajinou (Asajinou). Hirai Shoten, the brewer of Asajyu, is located in a shopping street and is really a "store"! The exterior is a slightly pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is sweet and mild. Aromas of ripe melon and banana. Sweet and fresh aroma of beautiful koji rice. Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The texture is smooth on the palate. At the same time as the sweetness of the rice, a very refreshing and cool acidity spreads over the tongue and into the mouth. The sweet, refreshing sake-like aroma is also very pleasing. The slight stimulation from the acidity is pleasant, and the smooth umami flavor flows through the mouth and finishes. The lingering aftertaste is mature and short. I haven't been able to get around to it, but I hope to drink a variety of Shiga sake from time to time 🍶😊.

At standing drinking CHUIN on a previous day. The last drink of the day. (This is a staggered post.) I had enjoyed Kenshin the first time I drank it at chuin-san. I thought the label was quite different from the usual stoic kanji-only label, but it seems to be a collaboration with the manga "Izakaya Maruyo" (居酒屋丸よ) and limited to Maruess Sake Shop and Kanese Sake Shop 🍶. The appearance is a pale yellow-green. The aroma is mild and refreshing. It has a gentle herbal feel and a sweetness in the aroma that is typical of sake. In the mouth, it flows smoothly and refreshingly. Discreet sweetness, a herbal feeling, and a cool, refreshing acidity escape. It flows from the spread of refreshment, then swells and sharpens moderately. The lingering aftertaste is moderately sweet and refreshing. It was the kind of sake I would like to drink casually in everyday life. It was a beautiful way to end the meal. Thank you for the sake 🍶.

It has a very pale yellow crystal appearance. The nose has aromas of white grapes and unripe melon. On the palate, a sweet and sour first touch is followed by a chili gas sensation stimulation. The balance between clear sweetness and firm, refreshing, gorgeous acidity is intoxicating. The clear acidity is well balanced with the sweetness and finishes with a crispness. It is still delicious. We finished it in no time and went on to the last sake of the day.

Incidentally, Junmai Ginjo-shu made from 100% Dewa Sanzu rice polished to 55% or less and brewed with Yamagata yeast and Yamagata's original koji mold, Olise Yamagata, is certified as "DEWA33". This Kudokibe is not DEWA33 certified, but it is a very luxurious junmai daiginjo with a milling ratio of 33%. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. Sweet ginjo aroma of pear, melon, and banana. The taste has a sweet, clean first touch. Gentle and beautiful acidity. It flows smoothly and finishes with a slight bitterness in the sweetness and umami with a sense of rice. The lingering aftertaste is long and complex. There are occasional lapses of acidity. Delicious. ☺️ Kudokidote is one of my very favorite brands. I have a few bottles waiting in the cellar, so stay tuned for more 😁. So, on to the next sake 🍶.

By the way, the acidity of this season's sanQ is 7.5😳. Average sake acidity is 1.3-1.5 😁. Appearance is a slightly pale yellow-green. Aromas of herbs and cypress with a hint of acidity. When I first take a sip, I wonder if it will go that far, but then I get a strong acidic attack! A frown like when you ate an old pickled plum 😄. After the kick, the sourness lingers in the back of your mouth. Still, the sweetness and umami of the rice are there, so it's still delicious as a proper sake. Perverse... definitely a unique sake, but very tasty and honestly I like it 😊. By the way, I heard it can be heated up quite well too 🤤. I got the sharpest sake I expected and with a big smile on my face I went on to the next one 😁.

It was almost at the bottom of the bottle, but I was thankful to have it because I did not expect to have nigori from Hirotogawa at this time of the year. The appearance was that of gas bubbles flowing on the grains of tailings. The aroma is gorgeous and fresh even at the bottom of the bottle. The aroma is fresh and sweet, like the cut ends of pears and freshly cut apples. The taste is sweet, with a refreshingly gentle acidity that passes through while giving a sense of the deliciousness of the rice. The stimulation of gas is very subtle. From there, the acidity quickly spreads with a thick umami flavor and finishes off. Wow, it is still delicious. Finished quickly and moved on to the next sake.

Hi Jive, hello here too😃. I'm so jealous that you get to drink home a schwirling Hirotogawa nigori when it gets this hot 🤤. I look forward to you checking in: ☺️

Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo-Hidden Sake, also known as "Ura-Nabeshima". It is the originator of the so-called "Ura" sake (extra sake with mirrored labels). Ura-Nabeshima is a blend of various Nabeshima junmai ginjos, as well as its Arahashigiri and Yame (blame) versions. It is a one-off sake with a different aroma and taste each time 🍶. The appearance is pale gold crystal. The aroma is fresh, glossy and gorgeous, truly Nabeshima fruity. Aromas of honey apple🍎, pear🍐, ripe melon🍈, and banana🍌. Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake🌾. Perhaps because it has been laid down, it also has a sense of depth and calmness. In the mouth, there is a smooth texture with a light tickle of gas on the tongue. The sweetness is like that of fully ripe grapes, but it is balanced with a firm and refreshing acidity. The wine is not cloying, and while retaining a gorgeous fruity overtone, it flows smoothly from the mid-palate onward and finishes with a good sense of umami. The lingering finish is beautiful and medium-long. The lingering aroma is also fruity. Fruity lovers will not be able to resist. The mid-palate is clean and refreshing, and it goes well with a meal. Again, I loved the aroma and taste: ☺️ I would definitely drink it again: ☺️ Thank you for the food 🍶.

Aladdin, good morning here too ☀☀☀☀☀☀. I was wondering what the meaning behind "Nabeshima" was, it's an assemblage kind of meaning 😲. ［The word "one off" is the most exciting thing I've ever heard 🤣.

Hi ma-ki-😃 I'm trying to make reproducible comments so I can remember them myself, so I'm glad you got the message: ☺️ I'd like to expand my taste comments 🤔. Ura-nabeshima, I hope you'll try it 🍶.

Hi Gyve 😃. In the case of Ura-Nabeshima, it is an assemblage as you mentioned! It used to be a blend of various sake's rough running and blaming, but now they blend the middle part of various junginshu as well 🤔.

Nabeshima's limited edition sake for each of the four seasons, the MOON series. The colorful spring is represented by Blossom Moon 🌸🌙🍶, a flower in full bloom. The unbearable sweetness and acidity wrapped in prodigal splendor is capped off with a hint of bitterness. This is a springtime Nabeshima to be drunk patiently until the cherry blossom viewing season 🍶. The appearance is slightly pale yellow. The aroma is prodigal and gorgeous. Sweet and gorgeous aromas of white peach, lychee, apple, pear, banana, and white grape. The aroma is light and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. Rice aroma about the size of a white dumpling. The mouthfeel has a round texture. Very light gaseous stimulation 🫧. Sweetness with a unique taste and a light acidity. The clear umami flavor flows well and finishes with bitterness. The lingering aftertaste has a tightening of bitterness and a gorgeous sweetness with a hint of incense. Delicious ☺️ I love it 😊. I finished it in no time 🍶. Personally, the new moon winter sake and the blossom moon spring sake are especially suited to my taste, so I was lucky to be able to get them this time. I would like to drink them with my sake friends while watching the cherry blossoms bloom in the spring sunlight. I want to drink it again next year🌸 Thank you for the sake 🍶.

This Ubusuna Gonohyunbrew is made from Yamadanishiki🌾, rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin without fertilizers or agricultural chemicals, and brewed in a "wooden vat brewing process" using a "raw yeast" sake mother. The bottle is opened with a "spontaneous", champagne-like opening 🍾. The appearance is a slightly pale golden green. The glass is filled with bubbles and coarse bubbles. The aroma is fresh and has a wooden vat feeling. The first impression is of wood vat. Aromas of orangey citrus, banana, young blue melon, and Japanese pear. Soupy herbal and whey-like raw yogurt. Rice aroma of white dumplings. Smooth texture, with a shrieking, lively gasiness 🫧. Moderately subdued sweetness and gently exuding acidity spread with a rich wooden vat feel. The sweetness deepens slightly in the mid-palate with a hint of grapeiness and a beautiful bitterness mixed with a pear-like fruitiness. A soft gassy sensation escapes from the top of the tongue, and with it, a dryness that flows through the palate and finishes crisp and clean. The lingering medium-long finish has a wood vat feel with a pleasant bitterness. My favorite producing soil 😊. It's shwarmingly fresh, goes in smoothly and spreads a gorgeously nourishing sweet umami, and also leaves a lingering wood vat feeling. It's still delicious😊 Thanks for the treat 🍶.

Hi Maru 😃. No brew is not an indicator of taste, but according to the brewer, the taste is completely different when the no brew is higher because the rice is more powerful and the brewer has a completely different mindset 🤔. I'm having trouble buying and drinking Urasato these days 😌.

Real-time postings on the way home from a business trip (2) (last). I bought two bottles of Ippongi and got on the Shinkansen, so I'll end my little party with this Yamagata Masamune Junmai Sake Retro Label 🚅🍶. This is a sake that I totally jacked 🍶. The label design is too cool drunk 😁. The exterior is crystal with a slightly pale gold tint. The aroma is sweet and refreshing. Aroma of moderately ripe melon and banana. It has the freshness of koji with a fine acidity. The rice aroma is about that of rice cakes. The taste is... The texture is smooth on the palate. When you taste it, you may think it is sweet for a moment, but then the acidity spreads and leaves. The sweetness is quite subdued, and while there are nuances in the aroma and the spread of the acidity that remind one of sake, the clean, refreshing umami is clearly perceptible. The acidity is refreshingly refreshing, with a pleasantly intoxicating stimulation, and it finishes light and crisp. The lingering aftertaste is mild. Slightly classic, it has a taste that makes you want to try heating it up. When paired with Taiyaki, the crispness rounds out a bit and the umami of Dewa Sanzu is more apparent, which is also not bad: ☺️ Well, how can you not like it when you combine what you like 😊. We had a fine healing time 🍶. Thank you for the treat ☺️

Sometimes I post in real time. On my way home from a business trip, I had a modest solo drink on the Shinkansen 🍶. The first half was from Abukuma Junmai Ginjo Retro Label. I bought it at the Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station😄. (Incidentally, the nearby Hasegawa Sake Shop Palace Hotel branch also sold Sanchi Yamadanishiki Ni-No-Nozo 😳I didn't buy it though 😌) The exterior is a pale yellow-green crystal. Gentle but refreshing ginjo aroma. Aromas of young green melon and banana with isoamyl acetate. Refreshing chervil. Rice aroma about the size of a white egg dumpling. Smooth and mellow texture on the palate. The blue melon ginjo aroma is pleasantly intoxicating as it starts with a modest sweetness and quickly spreads to a refreshing acidity. As the stimulation of the refreshing acidity passes through to the nose, the sweetness rounds out to a firm umami. The finish is a lingering, slightly bitter aftertaste accompanied by a warmth that is gradually fading away. It's been a long time since I've had Abukuma, but I'm still drunk. ☺️ My favorite souvenir from my business trip to Tokyo (for myself) is Taiyaki from Taiyaki Wakaba in Yotsuya. I managed to get it by cutting down on time to buy snacks 😁. The Abukuma has a robust flavor that is as intoxicating as the Taiyaki 😊.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. It sure is a big problem if you don't keep the closing time 😁. It was a modest party of 2 x 1 gong bottles according to the dosage, so we finished early and after a pleasantly drunken stupor, we were able to arrive at our destination station safely 🚅.

Since April, I have not been able to find time for sake activities and it has been difficult to find time to buy sake and drink at home 😌. Since this is an opportunity to get drunk, I will open a bottle of sake that is being stored (aged) at home. Flax Cat was opened after 1 year and 9 months of aging in ice temperature. The appearance is a slightly pale golden-green crystal. Putty and gas bubbles🫧 in the glass. The nose is sweet with a calming freshness and depth. Aromas of dried apricots. Ripe macerated melon-like sensation. Soft wood vat feeling. Deep green, flowers. The aroma of dairy products derived from the yeast is only a hint of whey. The rice aroma is beautiful white dumpling. The gas bubbles are smooth. The sweetness with a sense of fruitiness like grape pulp is felt, and then the light acidity with a sense of attack like citric acid spreads with a sense of transparency. The lingering sweetness and clear umami taste lingers on the tongue and ends in a sharp finish. The lingering acidity that runs through is also pleasantly intoxicating. At lower temperatures, the acidity is more refreshing, and the sweetness and umami with depth and clarity in the back of the mouth are enhanced. ☺️ As you drink more and more, the transparency comes forward from the mid-palate, and the acidity and gassiness are refreshing and easy to drink 😊. It's been quite a while since I've had a flax cat, but it's still delicious 🐈☺️

Good evening, Gyve 😃. Sorry for the delay in commenting 🙇. The direct pumping was quintessential and exhilarating with a vigorous gassiness like a flax spa 🫧. I could see some tailings at the bottom of the bottle, so it is fire-aged but may have some secondary fermentation in the bottle 🤔.
