I also brought alcohol to the Rokuroshi Starry Music Festival 2025, which I participated in yesterday 🍶.
Tasake Junmai Daiginjyo 40%-5% Momota
Tasake cans are very useful for such occasions because they are easy to carry around 🥰Refer to the past for a detailed review of the taste 🤣.
I was hooked on the piano melody and singing voice of Natsuko Hishiki, whom I had paid attention to at the festival 💃.
I felt the echoes of [yama]'s extended voice echoing across the plateau as I listened to her live for the first time, and the tension soared to [Telling Spring] [a.m. 3:21] and [Night of Light] [The World Should Be Beautiful], a song provided by festival ambassador [Nobuo Ohki]. ⤴️️
Ryota Fujimaki, who is well-known from his Remioromen days, jumped up and down during the chorus of "Minamikaze" and the entire audience sang along to "March 9th" 🎶.
The acoustic stage with the vocalists of the bands participating in the festival and the string quartet [ROCKIN′ QUARTET] was mesmerizing, and the audience sang along to the song [March 9] to the delight of the audience.
The headliner "acidman" sang "ALMA" while looking at the star-filled sky with the "Great Triangle of Summer" shining overhead with all the lights turned down, and after he talked about his love for the stars in the lyrics of "Nobuo Ohki", I felt a burning sensation in my eyes.
⋯Oh... that? This is a review of the festival 🤣.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
Thanks for the festival review 🎵.
The atmosphere changes from day to night and it's a wonderful ambiance ✨.
Well, the tadashi sake cans are handy to carry around, and the outstandingly good sake seems to make the festival even more enjoyable!
Reward yourself for a summer of hard work 🍺🍶🎶
I'm participating in this year's first "Rokuroshi Starry Music Festival 2025" 🥰.
Today is going to be a day of music and booze to keep the beat going: ✨️
Hanagaki's Nanbu Sake Brewery will have a booth at the festival 🍶.
Hanagaki Slightly Sparkling Nigori Nama Sake SHUSHUSHU
The aroma of lactic acid bacteria beverage, a slight gassy feeling at the mouth, a refreshing sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste.
Great to drink while enjoying the highland breezes.
The stage by Natsuko Hishiki, who I've been curious about, was great 🎵.
After that, we will enjoy [yama], [Ryota Fujimaki] of ex-Remioromen, and headliner [acidman], whose ambassador [Nobuo Ohki] belongs to the group 🤗.
Hi Jive 🐦!
I see you posted a live concert! Music and drinks, isn't it great 😻It's hot, so the drinks will go on 🎶I want to listen to Ryota Fujimaki's voice for the first time in a while.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
So your weekend fun was at the festival 🎵!
It was a great day of music and drinks 😁✨✨.
It's great that you were able to visit the booths of local breweries and have a drink with them 😋!
It's so hot outdoors that it's easy to drink 🤗.
Hi Jive 😃.
Music 🎶 and drinks 🍺🍶 under the blue sky with the natural breeze 😌🍶 is great 🤗.
I didn't think I would be able to read your singing voice after a long time in the rice 😆.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
The temperature in the city was close to 40°, but in the Rokuroshi Plateau it was about 30° and quite comfortable 🍃.
Manachie is singing his famous song "Powder Snow"🤣.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
I was jumping up and down listening to music, drinking and jumping up and down again, and even after rehydrating, it was an endless loop because it dissipated quickly 🤣.
But the wind blowing through the plateau was so nice 🥰.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
We are so thankful that Manachie sang enthusiastically for us, which we didn't expect 🥰.
Actually, he sang a little for the soundtrack, but [Powder Snow] wasn't in the setlist for the show: ✨️
Hi Hiro, good evening 🌛.
The festival was held in a summer resort-like location, so we were outside for the whole day and had a great day without getting heat stroke 🥰.
Beer is the most popular beer at festivals, but if there is a sake booth, I can't help but drink it!
The harvesting of the early rice variety (Hanaechizen) has been completed in my hometown, and it is now the season for new rice to be sold in stores and "hiyaoroshi" to be sold at liquor stores.
We can almost hear the footsteps of autumn 🍁.
Well, there was still some summer sake left in the cellar, so let's open it to make room for "hiyaoroshi" 🍶.
Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Bizen Asahi Junmai Daiginjo
It's been a while since I've had a "Kamo Nishiki Shafuda-shu", and I see that [ma-ki-] also opened another spec.
［A glass.]
The aroma is fresh and slightly sweet, and the mouthfeel is gassy, with a clear, refreshing umami and bitterness that finishes with a clean aftertaste and a fresh sweetness that lingers on the tip of the tongue.
［Mokkiri.]
A fresh, subtly sweet aroma, a clear, refreshing umami that flows into the mouth with a clean, crisp taste, and a lingering, refreshing aftertaste.
The label reads "fresh and light", and since we have had a succession of "mellow" sakes recently, the clean and refreshing flavor of "light" sake goes well with the hot weather.
The entrée was "Tataki" bonito from Shizuoka and "Sashimi" sea bream from Okayama, the same place where the rice for the sake is grown.
［The sea bream has a rich flavor that goes well with Kamo Nishiki.
The fourth one is a curry activity requested by [Pekho] 🍛.
［Spice Curry with Spices] 4 kinds of spice curry + spaghetti ball
Chicken Keema
Chicken Chettinade
Vegidal
Sambal
Supplemental Information
［Spatari?] has been holding an event at Hanshin Umeda main store since August 30🍛.
This year, they have also been asked to participate in an event at Seibu Ikebukuro, so if you are interested, please visit the store 🤣.
Hi Jive 🐦.
I haven't had a bottle of packaged sake for 3 years when I checked! I haven't had this sake rice wine either, I'd love to taste it 😊.
You nailed it with the curry! I wonder if the spaghetti balls are eggs dipped in spices 😻 I wonder what they taste like!
Good evening, Mr. Jive!
I'm sorry to hear that you drank Asahi's freshly brewed pale azalea 🤗.
It looks more refreshing and will refresh you from the discomfort of the gloomy weather 😁✨✨.
Curry life - looks delicious 🤤🤤.
Hi Gyve, good evening 🌇I tried to go eat Katsu Curry for lunch today but the restaurant was closed and I couldn't eat it ‼️ so I envy your curry postings 🍛I've never seen the word spa ball before, what is it?
Thank you Jive for ❤️ ‼️ than the alcohol? I was looking at the curry first to zoom in 🤣Thanks for fulfilling my request 🎉I guess I can go to Seibu Ikebukuro 💪The spa balls are probably boiled eggs in spices 🧐Yummmmmm 🥰❤️
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
I haven't had a drink for a long time myself, so I bought one 🥰.
Spadama is, as you might have guessed, [spiced boiled egg] 🥚.
It makes a spicy egg on rice when combined with rice by itself. ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-san!
It's been a while since I've had a bottle of "Kamo Nishiki Shakufuda Sake" (🥰), but it's still delicious.
［It reminded me of the lightness of the mellow Shinshu sake I've been drinking due to the hanpukai.
Someday I will explore Jimbocho 🚶.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌛.
The spiced egg in the middle of the curry is the spadama 🥰.
Since the curry has a lot of spices, the roundness of this egg changes the taste and makes the spoon go faster and faster 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho 🌛.
I'm glad to know that I, too, am a [spista ritemasca?] I'm glad to hear that you know about the curry of [spista ritemaska?
I'll make an announcement when I have more information about the restaurant's events: ✨️
By the way, we can also ship frozen curries to your area 🤣.
Last weekend's work was trouble-free 🔚.
It has been a long time since I have worked long hours, and I am tired, but I want to say "thank you" to myself for all the hard work I have done, so let's drink a glass of wine 🍶.
The "𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai" (𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai)
Sake made by Shinshu Meizou, which was formed through the merger of four separate breweries, and is a special sake for the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai.
Besides "𛀣久盛", "瀧澤" and "鼎" which I drank the other day are also brewed at this brewery. ✨️
［Glass.]
Aroma of mellow apples with honey, a refreshing sweetness on the back side of a thick umami flavor, and a mineral aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
［Mokkiri.]
A fruity aroma with a strong umami, soft umami, and a lingering aftertaste that is fresh and slightly sweet from the sharpness of the acidity.
I wanted to eat meat, so I had roast beef from the basement and the usual fish shop's horse mackerel.
After the night shift, I continued to work almost 24 hours a day, and the next day I worked long hours from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Moreover, I sweated a lot from carrying in, preparing, and taking down, and my body was craving salt.
I survived the summer again this year, and this weekend I am going to "Summer Fun" 💃.
Good morning Mr. Jive, thank you for your hard work. I've been seeing Laorai Tei around, but I've never been and I'm curious about it. What do you recommend?
Good evening, Mr. Gyve!
You must have been working extremely hard💦.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
I see that Ding's brewery produces sake with various labels 😲.
From the reviews, it seems to be a good sake 😋.
A good summer treat 🤗.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Thanks for your hard work. I've never seen this brand before but it's from Ding's brewery 😲 Nagano sake is very deep...
I like your [summer treat]. Can't wait for the weekend 😆.
Jive 💕Good morning 💕‼️ hard work 💦 I hope your body and mind are refreshed this weekend 💃👍
I would have loved to have seen a bit of your curry life post 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 🌆.
So there is a Rairaitei in Fukui 😊.
I was taken there by a senior once and it was close to 10,000 yen not only for the ramen but also for the side dishes and alcohol 🤣 I could have gone to a much better place.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
I used to work through the end of the night shift 😮💨 when I was younger 😓It's a lot to endure 🫥.
I really hope you can relax with some tired drinks 🍶 and ramen 🍜😌.
Good evening, Mr. Nochi 🌛.
Thank you for your kind words 🙇.
It is "Kyoto Shoyu Ramen" with rich soy sauce, thin noodles, green onion and back fat.
The picture is of regular ramen with extra green onions.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
In our department, it's not unusual to be in the office 24 hours a day for additional work or preparation for field work even after the night shift 😅.
I'm going to release the accumulated stress this weekend 🥰.
Hi Hiro, Good evening 🌛.
The main brand seems to be "Takizawa", but since they have a variety of brands at the same time, they may have kept the brands from the original 4 breweries 🤔.
［Shinshu Sake is still shrouded in mystery, isn't it?
Good evening, Pekho 🌛.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness 🥰.
I'm having curry at my wife's request after the Mucha exhibition, so I'll bring it up in my next post 🍛.
Good evening, bouken-san!
There are currently three "Raireitei" restaurants in the prefecture, and since the "Daiichi Asahi" restaurant just outside of Fukui in Shiga Prefecture has withdrawn, it's nice to be able to eat "Kyoto Shoyu Ramen" near by 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I used to do [Jack Bauer] about once a month when I joined the company, but at my age now, it's not so easy 😅.
But I think the fact that I can get through this is proof that I still have my strength 🥰.
Good morning Mr. Jive 😁.
Thanks for your work in the summer heat 🫡.
So it's a sake from Ding's brewery? Looks sweet fruity and delicious😍.
I hope you can relieve your fatigue with sake, sashimi, meat and ramen 🫡.
Hi Ao-chan!
It's the season for new rice here as some of the rice harvesting is over, but the daytime temperatures are still high and the lingering summer heat is still intense 😅.
It tastes different from "Ding", but it's delicious too!
After the Obon holiday, we are not only in normal mode, but we are also in the midst of the second climax of the month.
Let's take three days off from drinking and exercise to sober up before the weekend, which is suddenly the second climax of the month 🍶.
Takaten First Take typeD
I got this sake at the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, but I've never heard of "Takaten" before. ✨️
［The name "type D" is very appealing to robot lovers.
［Glass.]
The aroma is like soft white grapes, the mouthfeel is clear with juicy flavor and a firm bitterness, then it finishes with a refreshing aftertaste with a lingering bitterness and a fresh finish.
［Mokkiri.]
Hard mineral aroma, strong mineral flavor and a strong bitterness with a strong presence, then a refreshing finish with a lingering bitterness.
If I were to speak from personal experience, I would say that the bitterness is quite characteristic, and while it is not unpleasant, it is rare to find such a strong bitterness.
The entrées were "Shizuoka bonito tataki" and "locally caught horse mackerel sashimi"!
The fourth picture is a date with my wife to see the Alphonse Mucha exhibition (🥰).
It is quite an interesting exhibition if you look at it as a starting point for contemporary advertising design 🖼️
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
It's really nice of you, Mr. Jive, to plan and carry out ❤️ perfect plans to match your work well, rest days and exercise 🏋️💪 and even a date with your wife 💓 I hope your husband can learn from you 💦 high heaven is a mature taste 😅.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are on your second mountain of work💦.
I have never seen the actual Takaten-san, but it has a strong bitter taste 😲.
It's nice to have a date with your wife to refresh 🤗.
Good morning, Gyve 😃Good morning to you and your mountain of work 😌I'm curious about Takaten, I haven't tasted it yet. And your date at Mucha, too nice couple ❤️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
I am always trying to take care of my physical condition since this job is very physical and there is no one to replace me 🥰.
We go out for lunch at least once a month and enjoy our time together. ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
I had only one scheduled project, so things just piled up 😅.
I'll touch on that a bit in my next post 🤣.
The "high heaven" was quite bitter: ✨️
Good evening, Wakata-san 🌛.
This time it was [hanpukai specs] so I'd like to taste the regular product once 🥰.
We both like to look at designs, so we tend to have a high rate of dates at museums and handcraft exhibitions 🤣.
Adjunct time after dinner with in-laws ④.
I was very satisfied with "Shishi no Sato" and thought I would end the meal with it, but I couldn't help but be curious about the sake I saw in the cellar!
For a while, I was torn between [comfort] and [curiosity], and [curiosity] won.
Yamamori 2024
Collaboration of outdoor brand [Patagonia] and [Niida Honke] of [Niida Zenju].
Heavy and heavy with a whey aroma, a smooth umami taste, and a sharp and firm acidity.
Almost like a white wine in terms of nuance alone.
As the temperature rises, the acidity decreases and the refreshing sweetness increases.
I think many people would mistake this for a white wine in a blind test when it is chilled to the perfect temperature.
Curiosity got the better of me, but it was an intoxicating experience 🥰.
The last drink of the day was Guatemalan coffee!
After that, we went to a friend's restaurant that was celebrating its 10th anniversary 🚶.
I've been coming to this restaurant almost since it opened, so it's been 10 years already!
I drank a "Laphroaig" whisky straight after a long time, and it tasted so good 😋!
I've been drinking only sake lately, so I thought it would be a good idea to go back to whisky after a long time 🥃.
I couldn't get into the main story, so here's the Bon Bon sake activity all up 🔚.
It's been a while since I've had a ♥ mark on my calendar 🤣.
I'll take a break for a few days for some curry activity 😊.
Good morning, Jive!
Thanks for your Bon Sake Activity post🍀.
You drank some additonal time too 😁✨✨.
By the way, you have a good store with a varied and well-stocked lineup 😲.
Laphroaig is delicious 😋.
Jive 😊Good evening 💕Good evening 💕Closing coffee ‼️ I know 👍I love coffee too, but Starbucks on the way home from a night out? I think 🧐. Lately at home I've switched to decaf in the afternoon and still want to drink coffee 🩷Curry life is also appealing to me ‼️
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
I'm glad to hear that shima-san came back to his hometown after running a store in Tokyo, and through his contacts with liquor stores in Tokyo, he is able to purchase sake that you can't drink in Fukui. ✨️[Laphroaig] is delicious, isn't it?
Hi, Pekho!
Ramen noodles after drinking is drunken, but coffee is drunken too 🥰.
I make my own coffee at home, but when I'm drunk I make the wrong amount, so I prefer to drink it at the store 🤣.
Hi Jive 🐦.
I thought the mountain label was unusual, it's because you collaborated with Patagonia!
I've been drinking coffee more and more since I can't eat ramen to finish the meal 😊 It's so relaxing ☕.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
I was wondering what the sake tasted like since the label was so eye-catching 🥰.
Coffee is a great way to sober up, and I'd like to try pairing sake✕ coffee in the future: ✨️
Adjunct time after dinner with in-laws ③.
Continue with the third drink: ✨️
We rummaged in the cellar again and had this one that caught our attention 🍶.
Shishi-no-Sato Junmai-Ginjo Sake Mirai Orikagarami Nama-Shu.
The refreshing aroma filled my heart, the gaseous sensation at the mouth, the refreshing sweetness like a lactobacillus drink, and the lingering bitterness with a bit of milky acidity and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
Wow, this is delicious!
I had an image that the "lion's village" I drank in the past was dry, but is this the power of [Sake Mirai] 🤔?
It was so good that I asked shima where I could buy it and came back to see it later, but it was already sold out😅.
I'll look for it again when I go to Ishikawa.
Adjunct time after dinner with in-laws ②.
As I was choosing my next saké after emptying the "Yamagata Masamune Natsuno-Junmai", Shima-san recommended "How about this one? I chose this one as my second sake.
Ice Breaker Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake.
This is the perfect sake for this season to be served on the rocks, but it has been sitting in a liquor store for 5 years. ✨️
Shima-san says it tastes great without ice, so we had it at room temperature 😋.
Raspberry? It has a matured aroma like berries, smooth taste, slight sweetness and bitterness in the back of the throat, and a full-bodied matured aroma that passes through the nose and finishes with a full-bodied aftertaste similar to whisky.
The taste that remains in the mouth slightly softens and softens with water, so if you drink it like a whiskey [one drop], the image may change again 🤔.
I drank it at room temperature as it is, but the taste is quite addictive 🥰.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
You and your in-laws have been drinking a lot! You are really strong in both your drinking and your body while also dealing with your kids 😆👍.
Tamagawa's laid down is delicious, but this one is aged to be easy to drink â
Hi Pon-chan!
Your father-in-law seems to want to drink with us, so we try to drink with him when we can 🥰.
I try to spend time with my kids when I can because I'm often busy with work ✨️
Adjunct time after dinner with in-laws (1)
After the dinner party, we had to change trains, and being at Fukui station at 7:30 p.m. means we are going to drink more 🤣.
So, if you're going to drink in front of the station, you have to stop by Shima & Coffee & Sake first 🥰.
After saying hello, I looked in the cellar to see what to drink and found a bottle sitting in front of me with a sense of déjà vu, so I started with this one 🍶.
Yamagata Masamune Summer Junmai.
The aroma is a bit tangy and sweet, and the taste is soft and crisp like pears, followed by bitterness and a soft fruity aftertaste.
As a matter of fact, the T-shirt I was wearing that day was a "Yamagata Masamune" from the "Sake Collection" I bought at UNIQLO, which was immediately pointed out to me by the master, Mr. Shima.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
I didn't know there was such a thing as a Uniqlo sake collection t-shirt 😍I had to look for it online 😆 awesome cute💕.
Maybe I should buy one for my hubby too 🤣.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
I knew it would be as aditional as the main game 🍶🤗We were also laughing when we saw many interesting designs of sake related t-shirts on Amazon🤣I wouldn't dare to wear it though 😅.
Hi HinaHanaMama!
［I have "Yukio" and "Yamagata Masamune" from the UNIQLO Sake Collection and use them as my go-to's when I'm out drinking 🤣.
If you have a brand your husband likes, please give it to him 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
We drank our guts out again 😅.
I think you and your wife are drunk on matching t-shirts 🤣.
The only problem is that [UNIQLO] lacks Tochigi love 🤔.
Drinking party with fathers-in-law
Yakichi" original was opened and another bottle was refilled 🍶.
Ichinotani Nigori Sake, one time fire-brewed.
A clear, lightly lactic acidic aroma, soft sweetness with a thick mouthfeel, and a refreshing aftertaste.
The once-hikkaikiri process gives it a full-bodied flavor 🤔.
Because it was the Obon period, the seats were changed after 2 hours, and the dinner party was over as the father-in-law went to bed at 7pm as usual. ✨️
The kids wanted to play with their cousins, so we went back to my in-laws for another sleepover 🫡.
I had to work the next day, so they dropped me off at the nearest station.
Well, I saw a beautiful sunset, so let's get into the additional time 🤣.
Hi Jive 😃.
Drinking with your father-in-law is intoxicating 🍶.
I'm curious about Ichinoya, I've never had it before ☺️
But the reason for the added time rush is painful 🌆😁 too sure 🤣 looking forward to check in!
Hi, Jive!
It was a fun party with your father-in-law and many family members 🎵.
I'm also curious about the sake I didn't know about in Fukui Prefecture 😋.
I thought the sunset was beautiful✨ and I was convinced it was aditional time 😁.
Hi Aladdin!
Ichinotani" is a little bit minor in Fukui, but I think they use the same brewing water as "Hanagaki" because it is a brewery located very close to "Hanagaki" 🥰.
Huh? Is the reason a little weak? 🤣
Hi again, ma-ki-chan!
There are a surprising number of breweries in existence, so there are some that I haven't had a chance to drink yet myself: ✨️
I'm sure you'll go drinking even more when the additional time comes at 7pm, right? I'm sure you'll go drinking even more 🤣.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
It's a beautiful sunset at the crack of dawn 🥹.
The added time has lengthened since the last World Cup ⚽️ 😊.
I saw that you've been drinking as much as Honda, 'na, seven cups ⁉️' 😆.
Drinking party with fathers-in-law
After two days of drinking, on the third day in a row, we brought out the pool in the morning and played in the water with the kids 🚿.
We finally got to use the big water gun we bought this season 🤣.
In the evening, my father-in-law invited me and my sister-in-law's family to a dinner party 🚙.
My father-in-law made reservations for us to eat at Yayakichi
Yakichi] which my brother-in-law reserved for us 🍶.
Robatayaki Yakichi Original Japanese Sake Honjozo Nama Sake
We ordered a bottle of sake with the restaurant's name on it from Uno Sake Brewery, which brews Ichinotani.
Soft and sweet alky aroma, smooth mouthfeel typical of nama-shu, and a mild and sweet aftertaste.
This one looks interesting when heated up.
The fourth one is playing pool during the day 🚿.
I used a water pistol that I only test-drove in the bath with great vigor and the water didn't come out 🤔.
If you look closely, you can see a hole in some of the tubes 😵.
Luckily the hole was small and there was harness tape so I was able to fix it 🆗.
If this doesn't work, I'll buy a sebube and fix it 😗.
Good evening, Jive!
I hope you have a great time with your children playing in the water 🍉I want to learn from Jive-san, who is perfect in family service and self time 😅I'm sure you had a great time with your family at dinner and enjoyed drinks at night 🥰.
Sake Katsudo at Pojiya (4)
The fifth drink at Pojiya on the last day of the 15th 🍶.
Oki Junmai Ginjyo Namaishu.
I thought I had never seen this bottle before, but later I found out that it was from the "Shuten Doji" brewery: ✨️
The aroma is gentle and calm, the mouthfeel is slightly sweet, and it finishes with a juicy, sweet aftertaste.
The name is harsh, but the taste is so gentle that even the demons are enraptured by the taste.
This one seems to be brewed with "Gohyakumangoku" grown in terraced rice paddies in the town of Oe, where the legend of the "Ogre of Oe Mountain" remains 🤔.
To end the day, we ordered ramen at Pojiya, this time the seasonal "cold tantanmen" (cold ramen noodles) 🍜.
The sweetness of the sesame sauce and the moderate spiciness of the soup with a hint of pepper are well mixed with the noodles, making it a perfect dish 🥰.
I'll have to visit Poziya a few more times before they close 🤣.
That's the end of the 15th 🔚.
I was drinking on the 16th, so I'll update next time 🤗.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
Looks like it was a fun drinking party 🎵.
Both the drinks and the cold noodles look delicious 🤤.
I see that Bojiya is closing 💦.
I know you will be missed, but I look forward to seeing your posts again 😊.
Hi Gyve 😃
I can't believe you drink when you're having fun, tasting sake in the aftermath of a fun post-reunion party! The taste and the gap between the two, but I agree with your reasons for the origin of the big ogre 😲I'm craving for chilled tantanmen ✨.
ma-ki-San, here too ☀☀☀!
I'm so sorry to hear about the closure of this restaurant, because it's a great place to enjoy ramen and sake with Chinese food.
But now that they are moving into the downtown area of Fukui, I hope to see more of them in the future 🥰.
Hello ichiro18!
Poshiya has a lineup of sake that is rare in Fukui, so you can't help but drink it 🥰.
There is another restaurant that serves delicious cold tantanmen, but I personally prefer Poshiya!
Sake Katsudo at Pojiya (3)
The third sake, "Hanaboe Mizuhashiroshi Nama-zake", has been served at Pojiya before, so I'll skip it.
The number of postings is getting out of sync with the number of sakes, but here is the 4th sake 🍶.
Yonemune "Perfect fermentation, Yamahai yeast yeast, Junmai Ginjo-shu, unfiltered, raw sake"!
The aroma has a hint of cemedine, the mouthfeel is slightly umami-driven with a sweet and sour sweetness, and the finish is clean with a touch of bitterness in the back of the throat.
When I first saw the name "Aoki Shuzo", I mistook it for the brewery of "Yukio", but it turns out there is a brewery of the same name in Aichi.
Sake Katsudo at Pojiya (2)
［The second sake of the "5 Sake Comparison" series is this one with a label featuring a loose cat lounging under a wind chime.
Haginotsuru Junmai Ginjo Betsujikomi.
Full-bodied with a slightly less sweet aroma than Mita, it has a clean, fruity sweetness on the palate and finishes with a mild sweet aftertaste.
Delicious as a summer cat with a gentle taste 😋.
Sake at Pojiya (1)
The other day, the 15th, the children returned from their parents-in-law's house, and my wife had to go to the library with the children to borrow books since she had to work.
That evening, after I bathed the kids and completed my daddy duties, I got a call that my high school buddies were getting together for a reunion, so I joined the party late 🍺.
Some of us hadn't seen each other since before Corona, so we had a great time catching up on what we've been up to since then.
I was a little short on drinks because I was late, so after the party, we went to a nearby restaurant called "Pojiya" 🚶.
I heard from someone that the restaurant was closing in October this year, so I wanted to come while it was still open 🍜.
Well, we ordered the "Sake Comparison 5 Kinds" again this time.
Houou Mita: "Tsurugi Junmai Bottle Heated and Fired".
The aroma is sweet like melon, the mouthfeel is fruity and sweet, and the finish is juicy and fruity with a sweet aftertaste.
The sharpness is like a sword, and while it is a dry junmai, it is balanced with the sweetness that is typical of Houou Mita.
Serve with chilled tofu (🍴)
The sweet aftertaste overflows with the Tochigi Ai.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
Sounds like a fun reunion with your high school friends 🎵.
It was a great reunion to meet people I haven't seen in a while 🤗.
And Mr. Hidakami's Ken-san is a well-balanced and delicious sake 😋.
Hi ma-ki-!
Sorry for the late comment 🙇.
It's been a really long time since we met, so the 3 hours flew by with just a status report 🤣.
You say it's dry, but the sweetness is very well defined in the sake 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
Sorry for the late comment 🙇.
Personally, I wondered what the dry taste of "Houou Mita", which has a strong image of sweetness, would be like, but it turned out to be typical of "Mita" 🥰.

Basically, the all-you-can-drink sake menu consists mainly of Fukui sake, but we heard that for an additional fee, they also serve sake from outside the prefecture from their stock.
Tasake Micro Bubble Nama
Aromatic and sweet aroma, a tangy gas feeling on the tongue, a refreshing sweetness, and a soft and gentle sweet aftertaste.
I heard it has been 2 weeks since it was opened, but there was still some gassy feeling, so I was curious to see how much it was just after opening the bottle.
The owner asked me if I would like to join her and about 10 other customers for a tour of the Hakudakesen brewery at Yasumoto Sake Brewery. But I had to work 😅.
That's all for the 14th 🔚.
Hi Gyve, good evening here too.
I had this one over the weekend too 🎵.
It was a delicious sake with a taste that matched the schwarziness 😋.
Sorry to hear about the brewery tour 💦.
Jive 😊Good evening ❣️ I had some the other day too! The bubbles were amazing 🫧It seems to get sweeter as time goes by 🧐.
I love that you organize brewery tours 💓It sounds like fun with all the regulars 🙌 I hope you organize it again 🙏.
Thank you, ma-ki-San!
［I saw you all drinking at the sakewa and was curious about the "Micro Bubble".
I'm planning to attend the second one in the future, so I'd like to join the next one.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san!
I'm sure you'll enjoy the glasses and other sakeware used in your restaurant 🥰.
I really want this "Hakugaku Sen" supervised tasting glass: ✨️
Good morning, Pekho!
［I was drinking it thinking that the more it was opened, the more it must have had a strong schwashy feeling because it was not a "secondary fermentation" but a "post carbonation" 🥰.
The at-home atmosphere makes it easy to get to know the customers next to you.

Let's try this one, which is brewed in the same Togo district of Fukui City as Hakugakusen, for a change.
Sari Fu-rin Dry Junmai Daiginjo
Aroma with a strong sense of alcohol, a refreshingly tart umami taste, and a refreshing finish.
Yes, this one is delicious, too.

After the Hakugakusen summer sake tasting, we chose this one.
Hakuryu Junmai Daiginjo DRAGON IMPACT
Mellow and deep sweet aroma similar to pear, clear sweetness similar to pear, and a sweet and gentle aftertaste.
I just wanted a sweet and juicy sake after a series of refreshing sakes 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Jive!
Japanese sake BAR is something nice ✨.
Hakugaku-san to Hakuryu-san is like Mr. Jive's sake 😁.
And they all look delicious 🤤.
I want to drink Hakudakesan this year 🤗
Good morning, ma-ki-chan!
［We have a wide variety of sake, shochu, fruit wine, domestic wine, whiskey, craft gin, etc. 🥰 We are looking forward to the arrival of [Takimoto].

After "Natsumushi", I had to try this one as well, so I chose this one 🍶.
Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Umimatsu
The aroma is more mild and refreshing than Natsumushi, the taste is gentle, the acidity is more robust than Natsumushi, and it finishes with a sour aftertaste and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
We were able to compare the Hakugakusen summer sake, which we have not been able to do every year 🥰.

This year's Bon Festival has been so busy with sake activities that the stock has accumulated all at once 😅.
I will digest it little by little. ✨️
Continuing from last time, I went back to Fukui from Kanazawa and went to one more restaurant 🚶.
I went to "Japanese Sake BAR Emmi" where you can drink all the made-in-Japan sake you want for a fixed price and unlimited time!
First of all, I chose this one because I hadn't had it this season!
Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Natsumushi Nama Shu!
The aroma is a little refreshing with a summery flavor, and the mouthfeel is clean and tart with a refreshing aftertaste.
［I had it in a glass supervised by Hakugakusen, and I wanted to have it to capture the nuance of the aroma, but it's a bit expensive, so I'm not sure what to do 🤔.
