I'm glad that I was able to deal with the sudden fever of my eldest daughter, who had been on vacation since Monday.
I'm glad I was able to deal with my eldest daughter's sudden fever and other problems. 🤔
The last 2 days and nights of work at the site, I was completely burnt out from all the work I had done: 🏳️
It's been a long time since I've worked this hard, but the sense of accomplishment is maximal!
I've safely crossed the summer mountain range, so let's get drunk and open the bottle 🍶.
Shinsei Colors Autumn Cherry Blossom (Cosmos) 2024, pure rice with a wooden vat for sake making.
First time drinking "Shinsei Colors" at home 🎉!
［Glass.]
Woody aroma with a hint of wood, a woody flavor that permeates the mouth, followed by a gaseous sensation, a gentle acidity, and a crisp finish with a slight sweet and sour aftertaste with a touch of minerality and a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
A slight woody aroma, a smooth and clean flavor, followed by a firm acidity that finishes with a sweet and sour aftertaste and a sourness that lingers in the back of the throat.
We went all out and had sashimi of medium fatty tuna, cheese and meat patties, and my wife's homemade fried chicken.
The woody flavor and the sharpness of the acidity make the fatty dishes intoxicating, but it also goes well with spicy dishes with herbs and spices.
The fourth one is the limited time offer "Stamina Motsu Shoyu Ramen" (🍜) from Yamaokaya.
I thought I wouldn't like Yamaokaya's soy sauce ramen, but this one is delicious 😋.
I can't help but take a salt supplement at the end of a field trip this time of year 🥰.
Reminiscences of Drinking in the Neighboring City of Sabae (2)
［After leaving Tenjikiya, I moved on to Jizukura, which I had heard had a great selection of sake.
It was a humid night and we were sweating just by walking a little, but we managed to get there, only to be turned down by the owner for leaving early.
So instead, I went to Sou, a restaurant I had been curious about in front of the station.
The restaurant is a stylish dining bar with a bright wood-grain atmosphere, and I saw many groups of women only.
Well, I looked over the menu to see what I could order, and decided to order "Szechuan style Mabo-dofu rice" from the Chinese dishes they are putting a lot of effort into, because I thought I wanted something drunk to end the meal.
I looked at the sake list and found a comment that it goes well with rice, so I had to give it a try 🤣.
As the name "Szechuan style mapo" suggests, it is spicy, but the sweetness is balanced by the spiciness due to the sweet shiitake mushrooms in it.
This time, the dish is called "Bai Gak Xinhong X Bean Curd Bean Curd Bean Curd Bean Paste" 🥰.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Is it curry? I thought it was a curry, but it's a spicy dish 😻It's spicy and it's very appetizing! And I see that this drink goes well with this dish😊Chinese food in general is difficult, so this will be helpful👍.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
After feeling the stimulating flavor of the hot bean paste, the sweetness of the Hakugaku Sen will harmonize with the sweetness & the acidity will refresh you ❗may be the best match 😉.
Hi Pon-chan ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Unfortunately, this time it was [Mapo rice], but curry will appear in a future post 🤣.
I've been experimenting a lot lately to see how versatile "Hakugaku Sen Shinben" is 🥰.
Hello, Mr. Noodle Wine King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Hakugakuzen Shinben is very versatile and goes well with barbecued meat 🥰.
Personally, I like it with a little more [hwasyo] and a little more balance 🤣.
By the way, you can also make it into "Mapo Noodles" by making it into noodles.
Reminiscence of drinking in the neighboring city of Sabae
On this day, I left home with a plan to have a drinking party with a manufacturer with whom I was currently meeting with my colleague, but the manufacturer suddenly decided to return to the company.
I thought about having a quick drink and going home, but then I realized that I had never had a drink in Sabae, the town of glasses next door, so I decided to go to Sabae and have a drink!
First, I went to "Tachinomi-Golden", which I had been curious about, and quenched my thirst with "Akahoshi" and "Fried Flounder", then went to "Tenkokuya", which I had heard a lot about.
I found a bottle of sake that I had never seen before when I asked to see it 🍶.
Koshinoiso Dry Harakuchi Harazake Junmai Ginjo 50% Polishing.
Aroma of mellow rice, smooth taste with minerality, clean and crisp, and a bitter taste in the throat, leaving a bitter taste in the back of the throat at the end.
The dish of the day was our recommendation [sashimi of kanpachi] 😋.
The third one at [standing drinking Golden] 📷️
Only 3 more stock left 🥰.
The day after the election, I had a day off, but my wife was away for work, so I took the kids to the Fukui City Museum of Art's special exhibition [The Magic Museum] 🚙.
The kids were so excited to see the pictures that moved when they touched the wall as if it were a screen and their faces were transformed into characters and moved around the screen 😙.
After two hours of fun, they were able to take a nap on the way back to my parents' house, so it all went well.
GANKI Sparkling Junmai Happo Nigori Nama Nama Sake
It has a soft lactic acidic rice aroma, a strong gaseous sensation like a strong carbonation, and a soft and refreshing sweet taste with a refreshing finish.
This is a very solid and shwashy 😋.
You can pair it with pizza instead of beer: ⤴️
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I had a bottle at Sandesi because of the high praise for the "Ganki Sparkling" at Sake no Wa, but it's very intoxicating with a bit of drinking 🥰.
I regret a little that I didn't buy a four-pack 🤣.
Reminiscences of Katamachi, Fukui City, on the eve of the Upper House election ④.
［I had another round of drinks at Marukoma.
The sake was a dry junmai sake with a full rice aroma and a rounded mouthfeel.
The aroma of full rice, the rounded flavor and minerality, and the finish with a lingering mineral flavor and sweetness.
［When visiting Marukoma, sashimi made from fresh fish is a must order, and on this day we had both the red and medium fatty tuna, which is highly recommended.
The fatty sashimi of the tuna was a perfect match!
After that, I finally met up with my friend and we decided to stay up late drinking after a long time!
It's really precious to have friends with whom you can drink together as much as you did in the past, even after so much time has passed 🥰.
We promised to have a drink in Nagoya next time 🔚 and we broke up that day.
On the eve of the House of Councillors election, I left Katamachi, Fukui City and went to another restaurant I used to frequent.
［After leaving Sushi Ichimonme, I had to make a time adjustment, so I went to another restaurant I used to frequent.
［Marukoma used to have a store in front of Fukui Station, and it is one of the oldest shops in downtown Katamachi where customers from back then still go.
After saying hello to the owner and the second generation for the first time in a while, we ordered Akahoshi (red star) and broiled eel since it was the day of the ox for the summer solstice.
Hanagaki BLEND IN Junmai Koshu.
The aroma has a soft and sour tang, the mouthfeel is full and mellow with a mature aroma, and the finish is clear and clean with a sweet aftertaste that is typical of Hanagaki!
The taste is as good as the dark sauce of broiled eel 😋.
This is a bottle based on the concept of pursuing harmony of flavors by blending several junmai sake that have been aged for over 3 years. ✨️
Hi Jive 🐦.
Nice colored aged sake like whiskey 😻It's hard to find a sake that goes well with eel, but I imagine this one would go well with it 😻The eel kabayaki looks delicious again 😻
Pon, ☀ here too!
You can tell by the color that the fish has matured 🥰.
［The freshness of the fish at Marukoma is so good that you can enjoy sashimi, grilled fish, boiled fish, and everything else 😋.
I think I can survive the summer with this [broiled eel]. ✨️
On the eve of the House of Councillors election, I remember Katamachi, Fukui City.
［A drink at Sushi Ichimonme
The second drink I ordered was a glass of "Shinsei," which I had never had before, because I saw a drunken lineup on the menu.
Shinsei Colors Suiboku (Ash) 2024 Namahashime Wooden Oke Junmai
My first "Ash" 🎉!
Slightly sour aroma, slight gasiness on the palate, moist and tart umami and sharpness, and a refreshing and gentle aftertaste.
Now that I think about it, I don't think it had much wood vat feeling 🤔.
I talked to a neighbor who came to Fukui from Nara because of the Osaka Expo and is filling up the stamp cards for tourist attractions in Japan that you can get at the Expo.
He is also a Sake lover and was very enthusiastic about promoting Kaze no Mori, so I recommended Hakugakuzen Shinboku to him 🤣.
The story he told us about the Expo was quite interesting, and by the time he was finished, I felt like I wanted to visit the Expo 🥰.
The night waiting for my friend in Katamachi continues: ⏩️
Good morning, Jive 😃.
You have a lot to talk about in the coordination ⏰drinking 😄Exchange of sake 🍶 and the Osaka Expo 🍶 and you are both good talkers and good listeners 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I'm drinking alone and I'm often approached by people who want to talk to me and exchange a lot of information 🤣.
［I'm looking forward to going to your restaurant in the future 🥰.
I had a break after having worked three consecutive weeks without accident or trouble in the summer since the Upper House election, but on the afternoon of the first day off, my eldest daughter developed a fever.
I had to pick up my eldest daughter from the hospital and take her to the hospital for a checkup on the first day, but since I was able to take care of my child at home from the second day, I would like to use this as an opportunity to digest all of my stock at once 🤣.
Reminiscence of Katamachi, Fukui City, on the eve of the House of Councillors election
I went to Katamachi, a downtown area in Fukui City, after a long absence.
I was informed that he would arrive late, so we adjusted our time at a new restaurant that I wanted to try.
We went to "Machi Sushi Ichimonme", a casual sushi restaurant 🍣.
We ordered the course available on the day of our visit, which included 5 nigiri rolls and 2 dishes for 5000 yen!
First, we quenched our thirst with a bottle of beer from Harukaze, and then looked at the menu to order sake, which seemed to focus on Fukui sake and "Shinmasa"!
We started with the stable "Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Shinboku", which we enjoyed with seasonal "Sardine Nigiri" and "Kaisen Harumaki" (seafood spring rolls).
It is a dry sake with a soft and pleasantly umami taste that is perfect for fish and fried food.
I will be developing a review of "Shiratakesen Crimson✕00" in the future 🤣.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thank you for your work🍀 to your eldest daughter's fever is worrisome💦.
I wish you a speedy recovery🍀.
I have the impression that Hakudakesen-san and sushi would go well together 🤤.
I will get Shiratakesen-san as it seems to be available at Takimoto 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo🌛.
The chicken grunt is delicious this time of year, isn't it?
There is an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) run by the owner who loves fishing, and when the season comes, he goes [fishing for chicken grunt] and cooks up a great dish. ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
I am relieved to hear that your fever broke overnight, though I am sorry for your concern, I guess I was just tired 😓.
I see that Takimoto-san now carries "Hakudakesen", please try it 🥰.
［Reminiscence of [kitchin, hare].
Once again, a reminiscent post from the stock ⏰️🔙.
Last July 2, the night we enjoyed the proprietress's exquisite cuisine at Kitchin Usagi.
I would like to share with you some of the drinks we exchanged with the regulars who joined us.
Kirinzan Autumn Leaves 3 Year Aged Sake
Aroma of mellow, clean, matured rice, soft umami, and a gentle kick, followed by a pleasantly mild, fresh, sweet aftertaste and a lingering bitterness in the throat.
The fact that the taste has matured without losing its clean image despite the long maturity may be a result of the great nature of Okuaga in Niigata Prefecture where the brewery is located 🤔.
By the way, this regular customer is in his mid-80's, but he still works as a company president during the day and goes out drinking at night.
I have a lot of respect for him and wish I could grow old like him. ✨️
The fourth picture is a scene from a summer purification ceremony (that is, going through a cogon grass ring) held just before visiting Kicchin-Usagi.
Hi Jive 😃
I didn't know it was this big, a cogon of thatch! It's breathtaking 🤩.
You are so mature to exchange the drinks you bring with your regulars 😎I have to maintain it so that I can still be active and healthy over 80 ❣️
Good evening, Mr. Jive 🦉.
I didn't know Kirinzan had a label like this 😳I tend to be a bit reserved when it comes to 3 years old, but it tastes like something I'd want to sip on and sip on 😊.
I'm sure you'll like it too 😆👍
Hi Jive, good evening!
What a wonderful relationship you have, exchanging drinks with other regulars ✨.
I've never experienced aged sake 😲.
Yummmm.... I'm sure it will be like that for you too 😆👍
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I've come to report on my children's growth and wish them good health, but the kids may have been more serious about the food stall 🤣.
I'll try to exercise and not overeat on a regular basis and enjoy drinking for a long time 🥰.
Hi, Pon-chan ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I also saw it for the first time, but it was strange in a way that even after [3 years of long-term aging], it didn't have a strong matured aroma and richness 🤔.
By the way, this one was originally a bottle and was transferred to a 4-gou bottle for storage: ✨️
Hi ma-ki!
［If you're a regular, you're quite likely to bring your own drinks, so when we sit next to each other, we often exchange drinks because we're so interested in each other's drinks 🥰.
Let's enjoy each other's drinks even if we are both over 80 ✨️
Reminiscence of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 6
［The last drink at Daigo!
We had another Nabeshima at the end 🥰.
Nabeshima Special Junmai Sake Akaban Omachi Rice
Aroma like a faint melon, refreshing sweetness and umami with a clean mouthfeel, and a refreshing aftertaste.
It was a sake close to the image I was looking for in terms of versatility, as a medium sake or a "Shime" sake (a rice wine to be enjoyed after a meal).
This concludes the review post of the Kanazawa day trip section 🔚.
I'm still having a hard time saving up 🤣.
I'm planning to go to Daigo again around Obon, so I'm sure I'll accumulate stock again, and I still have other stock 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
I see you had a lot to drink at Daigo-san: ⤴️
I've been waiting for your post 🎵
You have a really great lineup 😲.
I'd love to get a chance to visit Toyama or Kanazawa sometime 🤗.
Good morning, ma-ki-san!
［Daigo has a great lineup of sake, some of which are still hidden away and undiscovered, so you'll want to come back again and again 🥰.
The food is also very good, so please visit ✨️ when you come to Hokuriku!
Gyve, I'm with you 😃.
Stock! And it's hard to accumulate them when you're out drinking 🥲 we were also tired last week after posting every day for the first time in a long time 😅 Mr. Daigo one day... 🥹.
Jay & Nobby, ☀ here too!
I've just had a couple of drinks out and put it off so it's taking me a while to digest 🤣.
We'll have an offline meeting at Daigo when you two are here 🥰.
Reminiscence of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 5
The all-you-can-drink time is almost over, so it's time to order some unique drinks for the finish line.
Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Omachi!
Aged aroma like a herb, a refreshing taste against the aroma on the palate, and a latent ginjo aroma on the back of the nose that lingers even after it finishes.
This sake was made under the concept of combining the best of both aroma and flavor to the maximum extent possible.
Reminiscence of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 4
Next, I found this one that I hadn't had since I drank it a long time ago, so I ordered it 🍶.
Murayu Unfiltered Hon Nama Seishu
The aroma of rice has a slight impact, and the mouthfeel is juicy, sweet and umami, followed by a sharp and clean finish.
I haven't had this sake in more than 10 years. In a way, this is one of the sake that made me change my mind from Fukui sake to sake from outside of Fukui Prefecture.
At the time, I wasn't aware that it was as rare as it is now 😓.
A reminiscence of one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 3
I wanted to try "Sono Kangiku" since "Iraka", "Nabeshima", and "Shinshu Kamerei" were already on the list.
Haruhi Special Yell Betsuatsurai Special Limited Edition/naojime Nakadori Orikagarami Unfiltered Nama Sake
This is a limited edition of "Haruhi" which is only available at limited stores among "Sono Kangiku", and this one is a special order product for Koyama Shoten, one of the sacred places for sake lovers.
We received the last of the sake!
The sweet aroma wafting through the air even at a short distance from the bottle, the gaseous sensation felt at the bottom of the mouth, the slightly refreshing sweetness typical of Kangiku, and the clean lingering taste and bitterness that remains at the end.
I think it had been a while since the bottle was opened, but I was surprised at the gaseous sensation I felt.
I would like to visit [Koyama Shoten] someday. ✨️
Hi Gyve 😃
Haruhi is delicious and the most impressive of the cold chrysanthemums, but I didn't know there was such a thing as Koyama Shoten's special order 😍 looks so delicious ✨.
Good morning, ichiro18!
I was surprised when I saw the label that it was a limited edition of "Haruhi" and I thought it was just for stores that sell it 💡.
I'm curious about the regular version too 💡. I'm also interested in the regular version 🥰.
Reminiscence of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 2
If you see this one sitting in the showcase, you have no choice but to order it 🤣.
Shinshu Kamerei Kinmon Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo 39
The first "Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Daiginjo" 🎉and we got to open the bottle!
Aroma like stewed apples? The taste is like a tangy gaseous taste with a slight lingering image, followed by mellow sweetness and acidity like ripe apples, and then it finishes with a refreshing yet deep aftertaste!
It may have just arrived at the store or it wasn't chilled, but the taste was very satisfying.
I'd like to try it chilled if I can get my hands on some ✨.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
Daigo🥹is still a great fridge 😍.
I think the most eye-catching one of them is Kinkame ‼️ I think it's more intense when you drink it outside 😚, but you can also enjoy it at home 😅.
But it's also good at home 😅
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
［Your cellar is like a 4 dimensional pocket 🥰.
According to a recent post by [@Mizuhashi], they also had "Kinjaku" in the back of the cellar, so you can ask if the brand is available while looking at the cellar!
Reminiscence of one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo
We stopped by Sakeiki Daigo on our one-day trip to Kanazawa on June 19, 2011 and drank a lot more than just "Iraka".
After "Iraka", I ordered this second sake, which was just about to be released 🍶.
Nabeshima Summer Moon Ginjo
The aroma is like a soft apple with honey, the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, the sweetness is clean but still tasty, and the finish is refreshing and sweet, like a spud.
This is one of my favorites.
I was so happy to be able to drink this following the "Blossoms Moon" we had in the spring ✨.
Reminiscence of one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Oyabu] Part 2
After ordering "Jyushidai", "Kahayo" and premium sake, I found "sake with a reason" and "brand unknown" on the sake list, so I ordered them.
Yamahai Akirika.
A slightly heavy aroma like Yamahai, a clean flavor, a soft and refreshing aroma and a refreshing sharpness like Yamahai.
It would go well with fish from Kanazawa 😋.
We also had soba noodles to finish 🥰.
Hi Jive 😃
I admire you for being able to go to Kanazawa on a day trip and enjoy a good drink....you have no waste of time in your daily routine 🥰.
By the way, what was the reason for the fall deer?
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I'm here in Kanazawa, which is only 45 minutes away by the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension, so I can now enjoy a quick drink.
［I was going to ask her the reason for the "special reason", but she refrained because it was a busy lunch time.
Reminiscences of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Oyabu
I'll be posting a brief stock of things for a while from here: ✒️
We stopped by Oyabu for lunch during our one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa on June 19, 2011.
I ordered "Jyushiyo" for my first drink, and this is what I chose for my second drink!
Hana-yoso Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu.
Sweet aroma like a tropical fruit, sweet umami like a fresh pineapple, and a slightly bitter taste on the nose with a sweet aftertaste.
We ordered the head of the oyakodon, which Oyabu recommends as much as the soba noodles!
The savory flavor of the brand-name chicken roasted over charcoal matches the salty taste of the Warishita (soy sauce), and the rice goes down a treat when ordered in a bowl.
Recently, they are planning to open a restaurant specializing in oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl). ✨️
I was surprised by the sudden tsunami warning last morning, but relieved that there was no major damage to Japan.
I am keenly aware of the importance of daily disaster prevention awareness 😓.
Now, I'm in the spirit of drinking when I can, so let's have a drink 🍶.
Kitaan Okuni Midsummer Midwinter Sake - Snow Storage Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Get it as an option in the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai (✨️). This one is completely new to me 💡.
This is a challenging bottle of freshly pressed, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made in the winter and bottled and stored in the snow!
［Even in the heyday of "light and dry" sake, if you continue to make "mellow sweet" sake, someone will take a shine to it.
I can feel the confidence of the brewery that if they continue to make this sake, someone will be attracted to it, and that person will continue to buy "Kitaan Okuni".
［Glass.]
The aroma of rice is slightly banana-like, the mouthfeel is mellow with a gentle umami and banana-like richness, and then it finishes with a pleasantly long aftertaste and a sour bitterness.
［Mokkiri.]
The rice aroma is reminiscent of bananas, and the mouthfeel is soft with a strong acidity that finishes with a gentle aftertaste and a sweet and sour taste that lingers on the palate.
The sweetness and umami are in contrast to the "Ding" opened the other day, but there are similarities in the clean taste 🤔.
Both served with local seafood [Seared Spanish Mackerel] and [Sashimi of Black Sea Bream] 😋.
For the fourth one, I went to Yamaoka for the limited-time-only Burnt Soy Sauce Ramen (🍜).
However, I wasn't into it as much as I thought I would be, so I went back later for the "Special Miso Ramen" to cleanse my palate 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Jive!
Your Nagano sake looks delicious tonight 😋.
I've never seen it in person either, so I'm very curious 🎵
You are energetic in your sake activities as well as your rah-rah activities 🍜.
Hi Gyve 😃
I didn't know about this drink ‼️ it looks delicious, rich and sharp like bananas 😊I can't wait to try it as the limited time offer was recently changed to Stamina Soy Sauce Hormone 🍜.
Hi Jive 😃.
Mid-summer and mid-winter sake, what a fun contrast 😀 The label is playful too ❣️ banana🍌 feeling, I haven't had a drink lately 😍 I haven't had ramen🍜 either.
Hello, Mr. Nochi!
I tend to lack salt during hot weather when working on site from early in the morning until late at night, so after a hard day's work, a glass of YAMAOKA-KA is a special treat 🍜.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I was curious about this sake brewery because it was new to me too, but this one was also one of Nagano's great nature 🍶.
I've been having ramen fever for a while, but now it's rekindled 🤣.
Hi Manachie!
I guess I wasn't feeling well, but I finished before I had a chance to try the "Burnt Soy Sauce" 😓.
I'm looking forward to the next one [Stamina Soy Sauce Ramen] 🥰.
Hello, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
There are still some breweries and brands that I don't know 🥰.
For me, it was the first bottle that I recognized the atmosphere of [banana], so it was a good indicator for the future 🍶[Stamina Motto Soy Sauce Ramen] Drunken, isn't it?
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It's a maturing method that can only be done in a region with deep snow 🥰.
It's a winter sake on the inside, but the label has a summery feel to it, which is very seasonal and intoxicating. ✨️
［I'm rekindling my ramen fever thanks to Sake-no-wa 🤣.
Praying for the safety of those who are in the warning areas and in all concerned areas who are busy responding to the tsunami warning issued this morning. ✨️
The busy summer season has been jam-packed with on-site work every weekend since the election of the House of Councillors 🌞.
The second site was successfully completed on the 26th, but we worked much longer hours than planned and were exhausted when it was over 😵.
In order to heal my tired body and get energized for the next site, I'll open a bottle of seasonal summer sake and have a drink 🍶.
Ding Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Oorigarami
First time drinking at home
I finally discovered it in June at Shusenan Mizukami in Kanazawa (✴️).
It's been over a year since I gave up buying it on my trip to Shinshu last year.
［Glass.]
The aroma of sweet rice, similar to that of ramune, the taste is refreshingly sweet and umami, as if you can feel a cool breeze blowing across your mouth, and then it finishes with a refreshingly sweet aftertaste and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma of rice is refreshing and sweet, similar to that of ramune, and the mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a full-bodied sweet umami flavor, followed by the same refreshing finish and a refreshing aftertaste.
The refreshing sweetness is perfect for this season, and can be drunk at night after sweating it out during the day, or while BBQing in the afternoon.
The entrée is the customary [yakitori from Yuben Akiyoshi].
The fourth one is a slightly full moon from the new moon that I found when I was looking at the evening view on July 28th.
This one makes me want to drink "Koei Kiku" 🤣.
Hi Jive 😃Good job ❣️
Kanae 🤍Jive you make it look so cute when you say it 😍It looks like a summer sake, crisp and delicious 🌻Yumari-tsuki makes me want to drink Koei Kiku... 🧐I need to learn how to do that 😅
Hi Jive, good evening.
Beautiful sunset - I was so taken by the sight of it, but the main course was Yubari Getsu✨.
I was impressed by the aroma of rice in the Ding-san, but since it is a summer sake, it seems to be very refreshing and very easy to drink 😋.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
The tsunami warning was a surprise 😟.
Congratulations Kanae on your first drink at home ㊗️ 🎉We felt it was too subtle for our first drink at home 🥲We'd like to try it again!
Good morning Mr. Jive 😊
Ding-chan purchased first time home drinker ㊗️ 😍
I was on a trip to Shinshu too and didn't have enough time to buy it 😭
With Akiyoshi's yakitori 😍 sounds delicious.
I wonder what time I'll see you Kanae 😅.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
You are working as hard as ever 💦 hope you are not too tired as it is very hot 🙏.
Congratulations on your first Kanae 🎉This is delicious 🎉I hope you can find a store in Kansai that carries it ❣️😊.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The typeface of "鼎" also looks somewhat like a person, which gives me a strong [Kanae-chan] feeling 🤣.
Maybe it's so imprinted that crescent moon = "Koei Chrysanthemum Snow Crescent" ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
The refreshing sweetness is comforting and intoxicating, perfect for a hot night 🥰.
The problem is that there are only a few special stores 🤔.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
That was a surprise 😲.
And it switched from a warning to an alert, which made it all the more critical 😓.
The refreshing sweetness is addicting this season 🥰.
Good evening, Ao-chan 🌛.
I was so excited that I will be drunk with "Ding" as a must from now on 🥰.
I heard that there are only 13 special stores in Japan, so it might be hard to find one 😓.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I work outside a lot in the field in the summer, and I sweat a lot every day, so a cup of sake after work is especially good for me.
I think it will suit your palate as it has a strong sweet taste. ✨️
I was making adjustments for the last quadruple post, so please bear with me as I will be posting a mix of stock and real-time for a while 😓.
I had a drink with him just before his birthday 🍶.
Oosawawa Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025
The Furuya Brewery, which brews the "Wawa Wawa" that Jay & Nobby and others were drinking before, suffered a fire at the end of last year that destroyed the brewery and their home.
First of all, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies 🛐.
The sake rice that survived the fire was used by the Osawa Brewery, which brews "Meikyojosui" in the same area, and the result is this "Osawa Wawa"!
［A glass.]
The aroma of mellow, green-apple-like rice, the fresh umami that flows smoothly into the mouth, and then the sharp finish with a soft aftertaste and a firm bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue and in the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
Aroma of rice like green apples, soft and fruity sweetness, umami, and underlying bitterness, followed by a soft aftertaste and lingering bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue and the back of the throat.
As the temperature rises, the bitterness lessens and the umami increases.

May we once again brew a sake with the wish that people will be relaxed and at peace with the spirit of harmony ✨.
The fourth one celebrated his birthday and the first thing he celebrated was a smartwatch ⌚.
［It seems that Furuya Brewery has resumed sake brewing with Kurosawa Brewery in the same area as Osawa Brewery🥰.
Hi Jive 😃.
Wawa Wawa, it has a very good meaning 🥰 I learned a lot about the human spirit from ☺️ sake.
Congratulations are nice to hear from people, of course, but also from your partner who is always with you under your skin 🥹.
Hi Jive 😃I didn't know about Furuya Sake Brewery, but I am relieved to hear that they have resumed brewing 😊 I guess the harmonious and harmonious thoughts of Wa Wa Wa Wa are also weaving the spirit of helping each other like that. The topic of your birthday made me giggle 🤭.
Hi Jive 🐦.
New wow? I thought it was because it was made at Osawa Sake Brewery ✨I'm glad it was made and reopened 😊I hope the sake brewing will continue forever 🙏.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve!
I'm glad to hear that you were able to resume sake brewing with the help of other breweries even though you're going through some difficulties ✨.
I have the impression that the sake looks very drinkable and delicious 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
I had no idea that the "Wawa" brewery was in such a mess. I hope it will be restored as soon as possible, but I am impressed by the way the brewery comrades are reaching out and cooperating with each other.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
We ourselves bought it by accident in Nagano, and when we drank it, we were pleasantly surprised by its taste Wawa-san ☺️ We were heartbroken by the news of the fire at the end of last year, but it's great to see the sake brewing community helping each other 🥹We also pray for the revival of the brewery😌.
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I didn't realize the wish behind the inscription until I saw the etiquette on the back, but I hope you will brew this kind feeling again too 🥰.
I'm a partner who often gets submerged in water due to perspiration, so it's also charming that you lost the data 🤣.
Hello, Mr. Wakata!
I just happened to learn the news through an online article, and then I learned the details and current situation through a regular mail of [hanpukai].
I really hope you can bring back the original "Wawa Wawa" ✨️
Hi Pon-chan, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
According to the article I read, the brewery was in such shock for 3 months after the fire that they could not think of anything, but with the help of the originally strong horizontal ties within the community, they are gradually showing signs of recovery: ✨️
Hi ma-ki-san!
It seems that the spirit of mutual help in the community is so strong that sake breweries have been sharing rice with each other for a long time, and the breweries are trying to continue sake making in any way possible instead of going out of business.
Hello, Mr. Noodle Drink King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
We both have different angles, but this kind of news makes me think a lot 🤔.
When I see people who have suffered hardship trying to stand up again, I want to give my support and assistance from what I can do: ✨️
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I've been thinking about you ever since that post, and I couldn't hide my surprise at the news.
Some of the recent news about the re-launch was also very encouraging, so I'd like to support you by buying something closer to the original next time ✨️
