The Mid-Autumn Moon on October 6🌛🌛.
The harvest moon on October 7🌝🌛 and the super moon on October 8🌛🥰.
Let's leave a day open for drinking and open another one while watching the [Sixteenth Night🌖] on October 8🍶.
［It is said that Soseki Natsume translated "I Love You" into "The moon is beautiful.
Whether it's true or not, the anecdote is somewhat convincing, so I thought this sake might be a "moon sake" in a sense and chose this one: ✨️
Takeyu I Love You Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Hi-ire
［Glass.]
The aroma is like a refreshing rum, and the mouthfeel is fresh and clean, with a hint of sweetness and firm umami, followed by a refreshing aftertaste and a banana-like aroma that escapes through the nose.
［Mokkiri.]
Aroma like melon or melon before it ripens, with a slight gassy mouthfeel, followed by a clear, fresh sweetness and a sense of unity, then a gentle lingering aroma and a nose that resembles banana, and finally a bitter taste that lingers in the throat.
I thought it would be dry and strong with the image of "Takeyuki" which I drank before, but I was wrong because of its refreshing sweetness and umami 🤣.
The food was "motsu nabe" (hot pot with vegetables) 🍲 since it was getting cooler.
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
The moon is very beautiful and the weather is just right for moonshine ☺️
I've only had Takeyuki I Love You, so I have an image of it as a sweet and easy to drink ❣️ If it was dry, it would have been great for the motsu nabe 😆.
Good morning, Jive 😊.
The other day the mid-autumn moon 🌝 was beautiful!
When I saw the moon, I wondered if you were drinking, Mr. Jive? I was imagining 😊.
Your description of the taste of the alcohol is easy to understand and conveys the flavor 🍈🍈🍌😍 melon
Gyve-san Good evening, Takeyuki has a brand called Takeyuki Chihito (Chichinpui Pui). It has my son's name on it, so I bought it on the Internet. It was a delicious sake. I also want to try another Takeyuki. I'll have to try it 😊.
October 6 was the Mid-Autumn Moon 🎑.
The full moon was on the following day, the 7th, but there were few clouds and the moon was almost full, so it was a perfect night for [moonshine viewing] 🌛🍶🥰.
Here is the perfect place to open on such a night for a drink: ✨️
Tsukiyoshino's Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 GOLD COURSE
My first "Tsukiyoshino" 🎉!
［Glass.]
The aroma is apple-like, which is typical of Shinshu sake, and the mouthfeel is smooth and apple-like, with a strong 16° impact, followed by a sharp finish and a fresh aftertaste, as well as a burning bitterness that is felt firmly in the throat.
［Mokkiri]
Slightly aromatic and fruity aroma, a smooth and refreshing flavor and freshness, followed by a fresh aftertaste and a bitter taste that can be felt firmly down the throat at the end.
Serve with yellowtail toro sashimi and salmon sashimi.
［The label with "moon", "rabbit", and "silver grass" is appropriate for the "Mid-Autumn Moon".
While the labels are pretty, the taste is fresh with a firm aftertaste, a balance I have never experienced 😋.
I especially like the bitterness in the back of the throat, similar to that of whisky 🥰.
It's the perfect time of year to drink it with the windows open and the night breeze in the air 😙.
The third picture is one of [the moon] with a little cloud cover: 📷️
The fourth one is a lunch date with my wife after a long time.
When my wife changes jobs this month, it's going to be harder to go out for lunch on weekdays like this, so I thought I'd do it while I still can, so I went there after hearing her request: ✨️
Hi Jive, good evening!
The Mid-Autumn moon tsukimizake is a quintessential Mid-Autumn tsukimizake, and the label fits perfectly 😁.
The fact that it looks like whiskey makes me wonder if it's strong and alcoholic 😋.
Good lunch date - looks delicious 🤤.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Mid-autumn moon is beautiful 🌕Open the window and enjoy the night breeze while tsukimi-sake. It's nice and breezy. ☺️
I miss your wife's new job and not being able to have lunch dates with her, but I have to support her 😉.
Hi Jive 🐦.
It was beautiful, last night's full moon on the mid-autumn moon 🌕️ 😊I was wondering what you drank, it's a perfect one! It's a nice time of year to open the window and drink while watching 🌾.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
I decided this was the right time to drink it when I got it.
It was a rare bottle with a strong taste that you can feel in the back of your throat, which is hard to believe it is 16° 🍶.
［The lunch at Meshimaya is the best!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The scent of softly fragrant golden osmanthus in the cool breeze is also more pleasant 🥰.
My current workplace is quite [hmmm?] I recommended changing jobs, and I was able to move on to the next one without any problems.
Good evening, Pon 🌛.
Finally, I'm free from the air conditioner for evening drinks and bedtime 🥰.
Since it's the perfect [moonshine] so far, I aimed to open it during this most enjoyable time of the year for [moonshine]: ✨️
Sake Day is here again this year 🍶.
However, my hometown doesn't have a "go-around" and due to my work schedule, I'll be tipping a glass of sake on the night of the 2nd. ✨️
So, what to drink? I'm not sure 🤔
I looked around the cellar and pondered because I hadn't brewed any new sake, but I made a big decision to open the sake I've been waiting for the right time to open because I've been too drunk 🤣.
Shinshu Kamerei Hitogokochi Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake
The first "Shinshu Kamerei Nama Sake" that I got by lottery in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai that I have been participating in since this year!
［A glass.]
The aroma of rice with a hint of fruity, the mouthfeel is full and mellow with a hint of gas, the taste is sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is refreshing and lingering.
［Mokkiri.]
Slightly rounded rice aroma, a tangy gassy mouthfeel, mild umami with a hint of acidity, sweetness, and a mild mineral aftertaste, and finally a freshness on the tongue and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
Ahhh, the ultimate!
The entrée was Ishikawa kingfish sashimi and horse mackerel tataki, which I bought at a local supermarket on my way back from a business trip to Kanazawa.
I was especially surprised at the quality of the kingfish sashimi, which I could not believe it was from a supermarket.
The fourth one [October 1] is my favorite [glasses 👓️] and [coffee mill☕] in honor of [Eyeglasses Day] and [Coffee Day].
It's still a long way off, but my wife and I are planning to order matching pairs of glasses for our 8th wedding anniversary and have a [glasses wedding ceremony].
Hi Jive!
A good sake to drink on a sake day, albeit the next day - I wonder if it's juicy from the review 🤤 or my imagination got out of control 🤤.
I'm too blissful to have a delicious leatherfish at home 🤤!
Hi Gyve 😃
You enjoyed the special Shinshu Kamerei raw sake and delicious kingfish 😍 Sake Day ✨and it's awesome.........................................8 years of marriage and a glasses wedding is too cool👍.
Hi Jive 😃.
You opened a nice bottle of 🐢's raw sake 😍I'm jealous of this one ✨I thought it was appropriate for the day 👌.
And! I love your glasses wedding 💕 with your wife ❣️ I knew you and Jive were cool 😆.
Hi Jive 🐦.
I was going to comment on Shinshu Turtle Age, but the story about your glasses 👓️ wedding ceremony was so nice ✨You and your wife are having more fun 💕.
I love coffee ☕️ but I didn't know that 😳‼️ I might buy a manual one too...
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
There was a go-around on Awaji Island too, but not many stores, so I joined Kobe 😁 If my work schedule had allowed, I'm sure Gyve's footwork would have taken me somewhere 😁 Gundam is at the Expo 😍.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Mie congratulations 🍶☕️🥸㊗️🎉 to the sake-drinking, coffee-loving spectacle people, me too 🥳.
The Shinshu Kamerei is very appropriate 🤤.
I'm sure the glasses wedding will be a wonderful one, too, full of the couple's specialties 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Muro!
We are an uneven couple with opposite personalities, but we tend to use many of the same items close to home 🥰.
Once a year, we ponder various ways to strengthen our bond with each other: ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
It's times like this when I have to open a bottle of my favorite sake or else my cellar will remain overwhelmed, so this was a good opportunity to get drunk 🥰.
The sake and [kingfish sashimi] were so good that it became a very satisfying night. ✨️
Good evening, ichiro18!
It was my first "Shinshu Kamerei no Nama Sake" and it tasted great 🥰.
I'll be buying matching ones that I like until our annual celebration and 10th anniversary: ✨️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
It's hard to find the perfect "🐢", so I decided to use this timing 🥰.
We are both glasses wearers, so we are always looking for something that will last for a long time: ✨️
Good evening, Pon!
Grinding coffee beans by hand is fun 🥰.
You can adjust the coarseness of the grind, so if you get tired of the taste, you can change it.
It's just that every time I can't decide on the taste, so I struggle with fine-tuning for a while, but that's fun too!
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake!
Shinshu Kamerei would have been fine with meat, but since I paired it with meat at Yamazan last time, I went with fish this time: 🐟️
［Dontaku sells mainly fish from the Noto Peninsula, so I thought this would be another way to support the disaster area.
Hi, Maa🌛.
Every year I feel jealous of [go-around] 😅.
I know it's been held in Kanazawa since last year, but I'd love to join the Kyoto Go-Around as a day trip if possible 🥰.
Good evening, Aladdin!
［October 1st is a day that sticks in the mind of many elements, especially since there are so many anniversaries 🥰.
By the way, on our third wedding anniversary [leather wedding], we ordered a leatherwork [key case] together and love it. ✨️
Good evening, Mr. Jive. Shinshu Kamerei (I want to drink it but I haven't yet) and kingfish sashimi is an enviable combination. It's a good season with a super moon and a big moon.
Good evening, AAJI 🌛.
I was having a drink while watching the moon on the 16th night of the month too 🍶I will update the review later: ✨️
［The kingfish sashimi didn't come with liver, but it's also delicious with soy sauce for the liver 😋.
It is the time of year when I can faintly smell the fragrance of a fragrant osmanthus in the pleasant autumn breeze while I am on my regular walk 🚶.
Now, let's reward ourselves for working two consecutive night shifts in September with a glass of wine tonight 🍶.
Yamamisan Yamae Nishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu, a limited edition for the hanpukai!
A special one for the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, an up-and-coming sake in Shinshu that has become popular since its revival and is now available in a wide variety of products 🥰.
When I removed the outer lid and put my finger on the inner lid, it opened with a pop!
［The glass was full of fruity aroma and flavor.]
The fruity aroma, the gasiness of the mouth, the fruity sweetness and umami that is typical of clear Shinshu sake, and the pleasant aftertaste.
［Mokkiri]
A clear, slightly fruity aroma, a tangy, gassy mouthfeel, fruity with a mineral flavor, sweetness, and a mellow, mineral aftertaste.
The mellow fruity sweetness and umami that is typical of Shinshu sake is the best, with a sense of gas, and the slight bitterness in the aftertaste tightens up the flavor.
I wanted to eat meat, so I bought roast beef and smoked salmon.
It went well with the fat of the meat.
The fourth one is "Curry Ramen (with extra green onions)" from Rairaitei.
It is filled with crunchy onions 😋.
After reflecting on my last visit, I added a little more rice this time and enjoyed the curry zosui (rice porridge with curry) as a finale 🍛.
Hi Jive 😃Yamasan is delicious 😋...and I'm jealous that it's a hanpukai limited edition sake.... Shinshu sake🍶 is high quality! The accompaniments... also look delicious... great... 😃.
Hi Jive, good evening!
The limited edition Yamazan looks delicious 🤤.
The fruity and gassy taste is definitely a good impression 😋.
The roast beef looks too good 🤤.
A great time to reward your hard work 🤗.
Good evening, Jive😄.
Thank you for your work 🙇♀️
The Yamasan from the hanpukai looks delicious😍I like it, I'd like to try it too ❣️Sanke Nishiki, I like it 🥰.
I would love to try the roast beef🥩 and the ramen🍜😆.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 🦉.
The mountain san is attractive, but the roast beef that can be combined with it 😻I can only be happy to eat so much of it 😆💕.
Mr. Gyve, good evening 🌃
You opened this sake the day it arrived at the brewery opening party 😁.
I wish I could have it all to myself 😍I wish I could have it all to myself 😋.
Hi Jive 😃.
At a quick glance, I thought it was a dessert plate 😅A beautifully presented roast beef 😍 Like Manachy, it's delicious and full of mountain horseradish 😋This is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it dish for Yamasan too 🤗.
Good evening, brother 🌛.
Yamazan" is becoming more and more popular every year. ✨️
［Roast beef is not as fatty as other meat dishes, so it's not as cloying, which comes in handy when you want to drink cold sake✕meat 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie!
Don't tell anyone that I was going right and left in the supermarket to choose between the 200g beef tongue and the 130g roast beef that I picked up 🤣.
［I like wasabi, but I also like to add pepper.
Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
When you work hard, you want to open a bottle of drunken wine as a reward 🥰.
I have more and more bottles that I can't open unless it's a good time like this, so I'll release them little by little: ✨️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
I think Yamae-nishiki is my favorite "Yamasan" as well, according to my past reviews and memories 🥰.
By the way, it was also a protein supplement after a good workout on this day: 🏋️
Good evening, Pon-chan!
［I was quite worried about the size of the beef tongue, but I chose the biggest size because I was in the mood for a hearty meal of meat 🤣.
Good evening, bouken!
［I think it is a privilege of [roast beef] that you can eat it with a lot of gusto and still be satisfied with the taste.
I think it's the privilege of [roast beef] that it's not too tough even if you eat it with gusto ✨️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I myself mistook it for [yellowtail sashimi] when I saw the picture the next day 🤣.
It's a large portion so it's perfect for a beer before sake: ✨️
In that case, I'll have plenty of condiments too 🥰.
I have to work one night in a row about once a year, but this month, as a result of a shift change, I'm sure I'll be able to work another shift.
This time I opened a bottle of this one, which I bought without thinking because I was curious about the label, which seemed to awaken my festival fever last month: ✨️
Hachibei Sakaya Talkin' Loud.
I guess it translates to "Shout! I guess that would be "Talkin' Loud".
［Glass.]
The ginjo aroma is similar to apple cider vinegar with a hint of sourness, and the mouthfeel has a really slight gassy feeling, followed by a refreshing lemon-like flavor, a hint of freshness, and a clean, refreshing finish.
［Mokkiri.]
Slightly fruity aroma, a refreshingly crisp flavor and acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste.
The light, refreshing taste and lingering finish are perfect for drinking outside while listening to music, and the low temperature change is also intoxicating, making it a perfect match for grilled meat.
The entrée is [Fukui Bonito Tataki], [Chanja] and [Smoked Salmon] 😋.
And there was a YouTube video of the Augusta Camp.
［Augusta Camp's "Let's Go Look for a Piece of Star".
［Koji Miyamoto's newly recorded "Like the Moon Tonight.
and "A New Dawn" by our beloved SCOOBIE DO 🎶 at full volume.
The fourth picture is a dish I had at a restaurant specializing in handmade udon noodles, which is rare in Fukui.
Thank goodness it came with fried vegetables!
However, I didn't expect to order [egg tempura] and it came with a hot egg 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
Keema Curry Udon! I thought it was a soup curry if only for the picture 😆 Fried vegetables are delicious and feel good for you ⁉️
Shout! is an impactful label. I see that it features a sharp taste 🥰.
Hi Jive 🐦.
This is refreshing either way you drink it 😊 also the one you are listening to is properly associated with the night 👍🎶I always listen to it when I do my chores, so I haven't listened to it in a while and wanted to drink it while listening to it 😌.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛!
There was also carbonara kamatama, but I chose this one 😋.
I drank it smoothly because one of the concepts of this restaurant is to not get tired of drinking 🥰.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I felt that the glass had a little more information for my taste buds than the glass, but both bottles were easy to drink 🍶.
Drinking sake while listening to your favorite music is also delicious 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Jive!
Talkin' Loud by Hachibei, I had another label 2 years ago and I remember it was very citrusy, refreshing and delicious 😋.
The curry with lots of vegetables looks delicious 🤤.
［An evening at Kitchin Usagi enjoying the proprietress's cooking 🍶.
Since I visited alone that day, I usually bring only one four-pack of sake, but I felt a premonition and prepared a spare bottle of sake as well. ✨️
It is an ironclad rule in my profession to have a spare, and even a backup 🤣.
Actually, while I was enjoying "AKABU Amber", a group of 4 people at the table asked me if I was drinking an unusual sake, and we ended up drinking it together!
So, let's open this spare bottle too 🍶.
Shinsei Colors Ecru.
First time drinking "Ecru" at home 🎵.
The woody aroma of the wood vat brewing, the clear flavor with a sour mouthfeel, the woody aroma, and the pleasantly mild aftertaste.
The four of us were all drinking Shinmasa for the first time, and all of them praised the taste 😙.
It was an unexpected exchange, but it was also intoxicating. ✨️
We ordered more of the proprietress's dishes 🍴.
Grilled pineapple squid with sauce
Beef tataki
Good evening, Jive😄.
I'm so proud of you 👍I didn't know you went with a spare! I'm sure it's your profession, but you did a great job to have a spare bottle of Shinsei 👏The four of you were lucky to drink your first Shinsei 😍Jive, you're so cool💕.
Hi Gyve, good evening!
Gyve, you often develop interactions with customers in your restaurant ✨I guess it's your personality 😁✨✨.
Ecru is so good 😋!
You're doing a great job of proselytizing at Shinsei 🤗
Hi Jive 🐦.
Oh wow! By any chance 😳That's why these two are so generous 😆👍 so you can have a good relationship with your store and your customers 😊I'm proud of you✨.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 🌛.
My expectation was that I would meet some regulars I know and drink with them, but it turned out to be a good idea 🥰.
I really hope to be a part of sake missionary ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
I'm surprised at how often I get to talk to you 🤣.
Next month, I'm going to visit my most distant favorite restaurant, which I still go to about once a year because of a chance encounter 🥰.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
It was a little different from what I expected, but it was a good thing I brought a spare, so I guess I was right 🥰.
I'm just trying not to bother the restaurant or the people I drank with: ✨️
It's the season when a pleasant breeze is blowing and walking is progressing, and I realize that it's much easier to walk the quota distance and not be exhausted by the heat 🚶.
I brought the "Akabu Amber" that HinaHanaMama opened last week to Kicchin-Usagi and had a glass of it for a long time because I wanted to match it with a gourmet meal 🍶.
AKABU Amber Junmai Ginjo
Aroma like pear or melon, soft and penetrating umami, and a melon-like aftertaste, followed by a fresh fruity aroma that escapes through the nose.
Oh, it's delicious!
It was worth the long trip to buy it because I had been wanting to drink "Akabu" for a long time.
And the proprietress's exquisite cooking 😋!
First, we had "Edamame no Peperoncino" and "Fried yellowtail" for appetizers, and beer to start off the meal 🍺!
For sashimi, we chose kombujime (sea bream) and kanpachi (yellowtail), and ordered many more after that 🤩.
Hi Jive 😃
Amber, here I come 🤩Excuse me after you 🤣but I envy you for matching it with your landlady's exquisite cooking 😍I love it 💕I wonder how much walking you have to do for your quota 💕Walking, I wonder how much you walk ⁉️
Good evening, Mr. Gyve!
It really has cooled off quickly 🍁.
Walking is also a breeze 🚶.
Your review of Akabu's Amber looks delicious 😋.
Eating delicious food and drinking sake is bliss 🤗.
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I want to match seasonal sake with ingredients that are also in season, so I am grateful for the presence of the proprietress of [Usagi] 🥰.
I have set a quota to walk 5Km in over 40 minutes during my lunch break 🚶.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀.
I'm thankful for the cooler weather, but it's hard to dress for the sudden drop in temperature😅.
I'd like to bring alcohol and enjoy beautiful wine and gastronomy even during the fruitful autumn season and when winter foods are available ✨️
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
The heat has really changed and I'm sweating a lot 💦 when I walk around 😌 and Akabu no Amber! The naming and label match and it's unmai 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
Sorry my comment is late 🙇.
The breeze is pleasant and the walking is twice as pleasant 🥰.
I like that stern warrior helmet label, but I also like this one with just the horns of the helmet: ✨️
Suddenly the temperatures are starting to feel like autumn winds, and it's finally going to be a season of relief from [the terrible heat] 🍁.
Let's enjoy the coolness and sip a cup of sake tonight 🍶.
Taisekkei Junmai Ginjo D Omachi Drinker's Delight Daisekkei
We got this as an option of the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, but Ane-san, who opened it earlier, praised it highly, so our expectations are high. ✨️
［Glass.]
The nose has a faintly fruity apple aroma, a smooth apple-like umami sweetness, a gentle kick, a pleasant mineral aftertaste, and a slight bitterness at the back of the throat at the end.
［Mokkiri]
A clear, fresh aroma, a smooth, clean, fruity flavor, and a refreshing aftertaste.
The fusion of Omachi's typical flavor and the apple flavor typical of Shinshu sake makes this a bottle that must be repeated!
We got smoked salmon and chanja at the Hokkaido products exhibition held at the only department store in Fukui, and then moved to the basement to have a full course meal of roast beef and kombujime (sea bream).
The smoky and tasty [smoked salmon] is a perfect match for Shinshu sake 😋.
The fourth one is [standing buckwheat noodles] that I wanted to eat after a long time at [Fukui Station] where I went to pick up my family 🍜The tsuyu here is delicious. ✨️
Soba is often the last dish after a night of drinking in Fukui, and if you take the train home after drinking, you will always want to eat it.
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
Daisetsuken, the water is beautiful and has a nice Nagano feel to it 🥰I haven't had it recently, so I want to drink it 👌I would love to pair it with smoked salmon 👌It's getting cooler and hiyayodoroshi will taste even better 🍂.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
The snow ravine looks delicious 😋.
Come to think of it, when I drank in Fukui last year, I had soba as the last meal 😃.
I wish Kanazawa station and Toyama station would open late like Fukui 😭
Good morning, Gyve!
Yesterday was really cool and I felt like it was finally autumn 🍁.
The sake this time, the fusion of the delicious flavor of Omachi and the apple flavor typical of Shinshu sake, looks irresistibly delicious 🤤!
Good morning, Jive 😃.
It's been cooler since yesterday and it's turning into autumn at once 😃.
As ma-ki-san said, I could imagine the fusion of the delicious taste of Omachi and the appleiness of Shinshu sake, and it made me drool 🤤.
Hi, HinaHanaMama!
The morning and evening temperatures have suddenly become cooler and cooler, perfect for a long night of sipping hiyaoroshi (Japanese sake) 🥰.
［I recommend a brand called "Oji Salmon".
Hello, @Mizuhashi!
In Fukui, even if you order a course meal, you can sometimes end the meal with soba. ✨️
The standing soba restaurants close before the last train, but you can take out your own takeout, so there are a few people who eat takeout soba on the train 🤣.
Hello, ma-ki.
The air is cooler and the clouds in the sky are becoming more autumn-like.
It is a highly rated wine, having won a gold medal in the SAKE category at the IWC (International Wine Challenge). ✨️
Hello, Hiro!
Well, this "Great Snow Gorge" is a winner 🥰.
It will surely be one of my personal [representative of this year] bottles. ✨️
The liquor store I know had it in stock, but the quantity is very limited, so if you want to buy it, now is the time to do so 🤩.
The nights are filled with the fall holiday season.
However, I am busy with my business and this month is a parade of field work and night shifts 😅.
On such consecutive holidays including Respect for the Aged Day, my daughters went out with my parents-in-law 🚙 and I went back to my parents-in-law's house.
I'm exhausted from the consecutive night shifts that occur once a year, so I'm going home to take a nap and have a drink to adjust my time 🍶.
Kibotsuru Junmai Hiyoroshi (Hiyoroshi)
I bought this seasonal Hiyoroshi at a recent visit to a sake shop in Kusatsu, Shiga Prefecture.
We have a stock of sake from the Hanpukai, but every once in a while we'll open a bottle of seasonal sake.
［Glass.]
As soon as it's poured, you can smell the banana-like aroma.
After pouring, the aroma is like the banana flavor of Look chocolate, the bitterness behind the robust umami, and the fruity aroma escapes through the nose and finishes with a lingering banana-like taste and aroma, and finally the bitterness that lingers in the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri]
Yellow banana-like aroma, round and rounded flavor, banana-like aroma on the nose, and a refreshing aftertaste.
The banana flavor is more pronounced as the temperature rises, so it may be best not to chill it too much.
The entrées are Wakayama tuna and Okayama sea bream.
For the fourth one, I went to a ramen store for the first time in my life along with a visit to a liquor store 🚙.
Since it was my first time, I went to the famous "Negi Chashu Noodle" topped with the characteristic "Bara Nori" (seaweed) 🍜.
I see... it's a salty pork bone broth type noodle, I might like it a lot 😋.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thanks for working consecutive night shifts 🍀.
On days like that, it's a gap day and a sake lish 🎵.
Is it a pronounced banana feeling 😲.
Ki Mine Tsuru is another representative sake I would like to try 😋.
It's good to explore new rah-rah activities too!
Good morning, Mr. Jive. I haven't had Kiho Tsuru for a long time. I'm curious about it since it has a good reputation these days. Rasho is totally different depending on the restaurant, so please enjoy it in a variety of ways!
Hi Gyve 🐦.
I see you drank it right away! I was quite curious about this one too😊I haven't had the classic label and would love to taste it🎶.
I'm sorry you're working so hard all the time💦Take care of yourself🙏.
Hi Jive 😃Good job!
This is my first time at a ramen store! That's a bit surprising 😆 funny because everyone asks for Negi Chashu Noodles 🤣I like Miso so I don't go to Rasho very often 😅.
Hi Gyve 😃.
We also often go to sakesho🍶 but never to rahsho🍜🥲 or maybe I don't know the definition of rahsho🧐 but I know that Kiho Tsuru is very good 🤗.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
You are in hard work mode, let's refresh and get through it 🍶☺️
Rasho, I don't think you can find it in Kansai 🤔.
I think it would be good to visit different stores 🤔 as each store has a different image.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I actually have one more consecutive night shift this month, which has a probability of once a year, so there is a serious shortage of staff in my department 😅.
I'm a drink lish for stress generation, but I also feel a sense of crisis that I'm drinking more and more these days 🤣.
Good morning, Nochi-san!
I also learned about "Kiho Tsuru" for the first time last year, but the probability of finding it is low, so I try to secure it when I find it 🥰.
I found three places in the Nagoya area that have it, so I'll have to compare the tastes 🤣.
Good morning, Pon-chan!
I wanted to drink "Hiyoroshi" by the end of September, so I made an early appearance 🥰.
We are updating the equipment in our department in the aftermath of the three-year plan and also updating my own equipment during the year-end and New Year's holidays, so it's time to work hard!
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
Hokuriku is a barren land with no "Rasho", instead "Hachiban" or "8-ban Ramen" is the largest ramen restaurant in Hokuriku 🍜.
Please try Hachiban's "Vegetable Ramen Miso Flavor" 🤣.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
［Sakeshop is a regular target of your reconnaissance, or at worst, a free visit 🤣.
［I went there because it is not in Hokuriku 🥰.
Good morning, Aladdin ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I've been refresh drinking, but I feel more and more threatened by the increasing number of empty bottles 🤣.
I think the only one in the Kinki area is the Aisho store in Shiga prefecture where I went 🤔.
I'm going to go there together with a liquor store in Nagoya.
Hi Jive, good evening 🌙
Hiyoroshi from Motomine Tsuru is the #1 sake I want to buy right now 🤤 banana🍌 ✨.
This prestigious sake association label and the regular? Is the orange label one also different in content 🧐?
Good evening, Kotaro-san 🌛.
It's so [banana] like that it's even written on the back etiquet that it's endorsed by the brewery 🥰.
I've heard before that the [Meimon Sake Kai] version is different from the regular product, but I haven't grasped how different it is 😅.
［The autumn holiday season is here, but the weather is not so good 😅.
The news is repeating the damage of guerrilla downpour every day, but I think it is difficult to cope with such intense rainfall in such a short period of time 🤔.
Well, I'll be working throughout the holiday weekend, but let's drink and soak up the atmosphere for a bit 🍶.
Toyokaro 2025 Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai Gold Course
［Glass.]
Rich aroma like some tropical fruit, a tangy gas feeling with a firm mouthfeel, a bitter taste with a pineapple-like flavor behind it, and a pleasant bitter aftertaste.
What is this? What's this 🤔It's quite a new sensation!
［Mokkiri.]
It also has a tropical fruit-like aroma, and the mouthfeel has a sharp gasiness, which is combined with a mineral flavor and a tight bitterness that finishes with a clean but mildly bitter aftertaste.
This is also a strange sensation, the image of a strong sense of umami with a pleasant bitterness that finishes off the taste.
As you get used to drinking it, the mellow umami and the tightening bitterness become addictive.
The bitter taste that tightens the sweet fat of [Junkei (oyadori)] and [Shiro (shiro)], whose fat is especially delicious, goes well with [Akiyoshi's yakitori roasted in hot water].
The fourth one is the September full moon [corn moon] that recently reached its [watchful eye] on the 8th.
This time a total lunar eclipse also occurred at the same time 🌝.
Next October's full moon will be a supermoon, the closest approach of the moon to the earth that occurs once a year, and we are looking forward to moon-viewing drinks 🥰.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thanks for working over the holidays🍀.
I'm taking a day off early and it's my 4th straight holiday 😁.
I haven't taken Toyoka yet, but I'm very interested in your new-fangled review 🤤.
I see October is a supermoon: 🌕️
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Is the rain ok in Fukui?
Toyokoso, the chic bottle looks great on you, Jive. ☺️ I'd like to taste the new sensation too. ❣️
Next month is the super moon! That's something I'd love to try moonshine 🥰.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
You've been drunk for four consecutive holidays, let's rest when we can 🥰.
It was quite a unique taste, this was also one of the deepest Shinshu sake, especially precious to go with the fat of meat. ✨️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
Thankfully, there has been no damage from rain so far this year in Fukui🙇.
Next month will be the Mid-Autumn Moon and the Supermoon, so I'm spending my days pondering what to open 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I'm trying to decide what to open for the full moon next month.
I've accumulated a lot of alcohol that I haven't opened in a timely manner, so I'm wondering if this is a good time to open it up, or if I should go stock up on something.
Hmmm annoying🤣
Due to a sudden change in my work schedule, I had a three-day weekend from the 8th to the 10th, so I dropped my child off at daycare and went to Tokuji Sake Shop (Kusatsu and Konan) and Takatsu Sake Shop in Shiga Prefecture to visit liquor stores a little further away.
My main goal was to drink "Akabu", which I have been wanting to drink for a long time, but there were many other sake brands that I was interested in, and I found myself looking for more.
In the end, I bought 3 bottles including "Akabu" and will review them in the future. ✨️
I put the large catch of sake in the cellar and opened this one, which had been sleeping in the back for a long time 🍶 and had a drink with it.
Fukuwakura Junmai Ginjo
First time drinking at Mie Sake House.
［In a glass.]
The aroma is full of ginjo aroma, a slight gassy feeling on the tip of the tongue, and a mellow sweetness that spreads to the palate, followed by a bitter taste that finishes with a gentle aftertaste and lingering bitterness on the tongue.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma is also full of ginjo aroma, and the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, with a smooth umami sweetness that finishes with a gentle lingering bitterness that is felt in the back of the throat at the end.
We also had some "Mie Nakatoro (medium fatty tuna)" and "Engawa Oshizushi (pressed sushi)" which were in stock at the fish shop, and we got some "Akafuku" which we wanted to pair with it at the service area on the way to the restaurant.
［Akafuku is not so good because of the strong alcohol taste after the sweetness, but the brown sugar taste of the Adzuki Bar is intoxicating!
The fourth one is [dry curry] 🍛 that I usually order on the night shift.
I thought about it a lot and thought this would be another curry activity 🤔.
I can't stand the spicy hotness of the curry powder [red can] that seems to be in abundance 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Gyves.
I've been busy, so it was nice to have an occasional holiday? Yes, it was.
And you're doing a great job with your drinking 🤗.
I'm looking forward to seeing which one is the Akabudamono 😋.
I haven't tried Fukuwagura, but it would be fun to pair it with an azuki bar 😍.
Good evening, Jive-san!
Jive-san's entrée always looks delicious... Fukuwagura-san's sake looks well-balanced too... S&B's red can! I get the impression that you have a lot of fans when you also have a food log 😊.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Jive-san is flexible to sudden change of schedule and sake activity, great 👍I'm quite curious about Engawa's pressed sushi 🤤Is Imuraya the same as Imuraya of azuki bar? I haven't studied enough... 🙏.
Hi Jive 🐦.
Thanks for the sake activity in Kusatsu😊I hope you found a lot of brands you don't usually see, I look forward to your review🎶.
Dry curry is definitely a curry activity too 😆 I often make it using red cans too!
Good evening Gyve 🍦.
I thought for a minute that something sweet would go with the sweet drink, but an azuki bar would go well with it 😂.
Dry curry looks delicious!
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Thanks for the liquor store expedition 🚙! It's a pleasant exhaustion 😄.
I found this Imuraya sake at a liquor store in Chiba! I found it at a liquor store in Chiba 😳I thought it might be too sweet so I haven't brought it to you yet😅.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm moving on holiday on shift, so the wrinkles are happening again, but I enjoyed this situation first 🥰.
We handled more than one "Red Takeshi" but we went with the seasonal one and will open it by the end of September ✨.
Hello ichiro18, ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your encouraging comment as I try to enjoy drinks including pairing them with food 🥰.
［There's a good reason why [red can] is a long seller: ✨️
Hi HinaHanaMama!
If it's a consecutive holiday, I'll spend both days training, but if it's a three-day weekend, I can do sake activities and outings, so it feels even more special 🥰.
Yes, Imuraya of [azuki bar] has bought a sake brewery and brews ✨️
Hi Pon-chan!
［I should have gone to both Tokuchi Sake Shop and Takatsu Sake Shop after opening their cellars a little more 😅.
I usually eat too much, so I didn't recognize it as curry life.
Hello, Matsuchiyo-san!
When I tasted it before, I thought it would go well with [red bean paste], so I bought [akafuku] 🥰.
It's not a bad match, so next time I'd like to try it with [taiyaki] 🤔.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I drove almost all day long, but sometimes it's nice to have a day to face your car and get drunk 🥰.
I would recommend tasting it once as it has a firm sweetness, just for talking 🤣.
Hi Gyve 😃
I see that you also have a FIFO system for managing your liquor inventory!
Speaking of Fukuwagura, it's Imuraya, so it's quintessential that you paired it with an azuki bar👍.
If it's winter time, I'd like to try it warmed up and paired with azuki bean paste 😊.
Hi Aladdin, good evening 🌛.
Basically, I'm first in, first out, but this time I let it lie a bit until I went to buy [Akafuku] because of the Mie connection 😅.
I see 💡 I forgot about [heated sake], I'll try again in the cold season 🥰.
The calendar has entered September with the festival still lingering in the air, but it's still hot every day 🫠.
I feel like fall is still a long way off 🍁.
I'm going to go to the gym to work out after drinking a lot of beer at the festival, and replenish my Sake content since it was low 🤣.
I was wondering what to drink, but let's take this opportunity to have a glass of sake 🍶.
Shinsei Flax Cat
First time drinking at home 🎉.
Not for a special anniversary or anything, but for an ordinary occasion, I opened a bottle of Shinsei and tried to imitate what Pon-chan had done [Flaxcat✕Italian]. ✨️
［A glass from iittala.]
The aroma is slightly malty, the mouthfeel is soft and gaseous, and the clear flavor is clean and crisp, with a sweet and sour aftertaste and a woody aroma that lingers on the palate.
［Thin sipped sake.]
Slightly woody aroma, a slight gassy mouthfeel, clear flavor, and a woody aroma that lingers on the nose with a pleasant aftertaste.
Ahhh, superb!
The restaurant where we were going to order entrée was temporarily closed, so we scrambled to get what we were looking for, but were unable to buy what we wanted.
The fourth picture is from a past Curry Activity 🍛.
Tonkatsu Curry (Tonkatsu Curry) 🍴 from Aged Katsu Tenzen, a local restaurant that has been increasing its branches in recent years.
Since it is a tonkatsu restaurant, they developed this curry with the theme of making a curry that goes well with tonkatsu, and they use local Goryo onions!
Hi Jive 😃
The new policy on a normal day makes you feel luxurious ❣️ Flaxcat ✖︎ How did you like the Italian food? Your wife's Neapolitan is too nice😊.
Tonkatsu curry from a pork cutlet shop is the best I've seen 😆.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
The acidity of the flax cat is perfect for this time of the year when it is still hot, or even hotter 🐈😄.
Neapolitan would go well with the sourness of ketchup 🤤.
Namela, I didn't know that, I'd like to try it 🤤.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
It's really been an extremely hot day and I can't wait for fall💦.
I have the impression that Italian food would be a good match for you and Flaxcat 😋.
I'm sure you're not exactly extra careful with your curry life either 😁.
Makes me want to eat curry when I eat out 🤤.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
The sky is getting higher 😌 but we still haven't heard the footsteps of autumn 🍁.
Keep your body in good shape! Congratulations to Flaxcat for your first home drink ㊗️ 🎉Congratulations on the katsu's commitment to katsu curry🍛Sounds delicious😋.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Congratulations on your first drink at home 🎉How did you like the Flax Cat x Italian? Hot weather tastes good with a sour drink like flax cat ❣️
I've never heard of namela before 😳
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 🌛.
It was a special drink that transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary: ✨️
I thought it would go well with [oil-based pasta], but [tomato-based pasta]? It went perfectly with the tomato-based pasta, too.
Hi Aladdin, good evening 🌛.
I'm fed up with the daytime heat, so the soft, gentle acidity is perfect for me 🥰.
［I wrote "namela", but that was the local name, and the national name is "kijihata", which is also delicious. ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
I was very satisfied with the pairing of Italian O "Flax Cat" 🥰.
If I can get it again, I would like to pair it with seafood pasta such as pescatore or bongolebianco 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
It's getting cooler in the mornings and evenings, but the discomfort level remains high during the day due to high temperatures and high humidity😅.
It's good that you prepare the sauce even if it's a proper curry with pork cutlets!
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
I would like to pair it with French or Italian food next time I have the chance to get it again 😋.
［Namela is a regional name, but it can also refer to kijihata or aohata, mahata, etc. 🥰.
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!
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I was too drunk fest so my thoughts overflowed 🤣.
Actually, I was originally going to bring one cup of "Snowman", but it froze in the back of the cellar and I couldn't take it out!
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 ✨️
