Health checkup is over 🎉!
I successfully overcame the most depressing physical examination of the year, the gastroscopy 🥰.
Aside from the details, my abdominal circumference decreased significantly and my weight increased, so I cleared the first stage by increasing muscle mass. If I had reached the second stage of weight loss, it would have been perfect, but the groundwork has been laid, so let's move on to the next task!
On the day of the checkup, my father-in-law invited me and my brother-in-law's family to a hot spring trip ♨️
We brought our own sake and had a drink 🍶.
Sairai Yoinokaze Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Sake
A slight lemon-like aroma, a slight gassy feeling on the palate, a beautiful umami with a smooth sourness, a lemon-like sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste.
Father-in-law and sister-in-law also gave it a favorable review.
The momentum of the opening of the lid and the clean and refreshing flavor increased, and the pleasant aftertaste was just like the image of "the evening breeze"!
By the way, I could not drink alcohol during the full moon in August because I was prohibited from drinking alcohol, but when I looked at the moon on the 13th night, I could hear the sound of crickets and bell bugs in the cool breeze that made me forget about the heat during the day.
A bottle with a lingering feeling of summer that is best enjoyed while listening to the cool breeze and the sound of autumn insects.
The entrée is [more sliced red meat and medium fatty tuna] and [pressed sushi with Engawa] 😋.
The fourth picture is one of an event to enjoy soap bubbles with the local night lights while looking at [the moon on the 13th night] 📷️
A drink and an image that goes with the lyrics of my favorite band's [Festival music spirals and gently disappears the next morning] 🎐.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thank you for your health checkup🍀.
It's good that you and your family can relax at a hot spring and relieve your fatigue. ♨️
Sairai, it looks delicious and easy to drink 🤤.
I want to drink it someday 🤗.
The moon is beautiful too 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve. Thanks for your health checkup! It's great to see that you've taken all the precautions and it shows in the results 🙌 Enjoy your long overdue drink in a relaxed manner 😊.
Good evening, Jive 😄
Thanks for your health checkup☺️You've done a great job on a daily basis, Mr. Jive🙌You can enjoy another year of drinking 🙌I'll try my best to balance exercise and drinking 💪.
Hi Gyve 😃.
Good job on the checkup and the gastroscopy 😱😔.
It's great to see the results of your well-prepared 👍Muscle training💦 and drinking relaxation😌Balance is the key 🤗.
Hi Hirupeco!
At first I thought I was in trouble because of my weight gain, but I lost a lot of abdominal fat, so I was pretty much alright 🥰.
First I'm going to start drinking and then resume training again: ✨️
Hi HinaHanaMama!
Last year was the checkup after my right knee ligament and meniscus damage, so I didn't have much reference to it, although it was lighter because of the muscle mass loss, so I was drunk this year with a solid result 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I'm glad to see that your training, which incorporates both solid aerobic and anaerobic training, has produced results 🥰.
We'll start with a refreshing booze workout and then work on it for next year: ✨️
Just when I thought my work was done, new tasks are added before and after the end of the month, and I find myself in a petit mountainous situation 😓.
I thought I had enough time until next month 🤔.
But aside from that, I have a medical checkup next week on the 12th, so I thought I'd skip drinking for a week and have a drink before I stop drinking 🍶.
Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjo Tozawa Hitogochochi Hi-ire
［The one I got from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai before was the unpasteurized version, but this is the fire-brewed version!
［A glass.]
The aroma is fresh and sweet, similar to that of rum, and the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, with a shift from umami to sweetness and a touch of bitterness in the background.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma is fresh and sweet, similar to that of ramune, and the mouthfeel shifts from juicy umami to sweetness before it finishes with a pleasantly sweet aftertaste.
Compared to the nama-shu version, the freshness of the nama-shu is gone, but the taste is more subdued 🤔.
The entrée was sashimi from a fish shop a short distance away and Wakayama Prefecture's tuna Nakatoro Sashimi (medium fatty tuna) 😋.
It's a great place to get fresh local fish and Wakayama tuna at a reasonable price, but it's far away 😅.
The fourth one is a four-spice curry platter from Spice Tarte Masca, as I felt a lack of spice.
Sambal
Chicken keema
Chettinad Chicken
Coconut chicken
+ Spa ball
Spice charge complete 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Gyve!
Oh, so work has been a bit of a mountain 💦.
It's an unavoidable barrier for health-check drinkers 🏥.
The taste shift sounds good too, really delicious 🤤.
Good morning, Gyve 😊.
Work piles up before you know it, I know 😭.
I also understand opening a good bottle of sake before and after the abstinence from alcohol 😄.
Shinshu Kamerei, it's perfect for you👍.
Hi Jive 😃I see you have a medical checkup soon! You seem to be taking good care of yourself on a regular basis, Jive, so no worries 😆 Spiced curry 🍛 is a panacea 👍and 🐢 you are the special medicine of the sake world 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve.
I'm sorry to hear about your busy schedule! But being busy is a joy of working, isn't it?
Please enjoy the curry from Shinshu Kamerei and sashimi before your medical checkup!
I had my physical a few days ago too😊
This time I tried to live as usual and drink as much as usual 😅.
I haven't received the results yet 😅 I wonder if I'll be ok? I'm not sure if I'll be fine 😱.
Hi Gyve 😃
I'm sorry you're having a hard time with your work 💦 hope you're settling in 😌I'll be drinking and spicing things up before my checkup! It's a trying time right now 🥲Good luck 👋
Good morning, ma-ki-.
You are the only one available on this day and this day, can you do me a favor? I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a lot of people on site, but it's a good idea to have a lot of people on site 🤣.
Good morning, Maru!
It really solidified all at once in no time at all 🤣.
It's hard not to drink at a time like this when my wife is going home to her parents and I can drink as I please 😅.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I'm writing this comment while waiting for my checkup 🤣.
I'm working irregular and physically demanding work, so I want to take good care of myself 🥰.
I think I'll be able to drink tonight after the checkup 😙.
Good morning, Ao-chan ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It's nice to have a job, especially when your skills are put to use 🥰.
Ao-chan, you have a good fishing life, so I'm sure you'll be fine with your medical checkups: ✨️
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀.
Thank you for your concern ✨️
I'll probably settle down next April, or a few more years like this, but I'll do my best to refresh and moderate my drinking in between 🥰.
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 hint 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 is delicious 😋.
I need to replenish my salt intake at the end of field work in this season 🥰.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thank you for all your hard work during the summer 🍀.
I'm glad your eldest daughter is feeling better by the next morning✨.
Shinsei-sama's cosmos really is too delicious sake 🤤.
The rahkatsu is a great way to replenish your salt 😁✨✨.
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
Working in the field in the heat wave must be physically and mentally draining 😥Thank you so much for your hard work. I'm glad your daughter's fever broke soon too ☺️ Cosmos for your labor and Yamaoka's ramen noodles 🍜I hope they give you full energy 👍.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
Open a drunken one with the sense of accomplishment of your work as your sakana. Great refreshment ✨
Ramen for the salt and sake for the energy to get ready for the next job 😆.
Congratulations to Gyve on your first house drink at Shinsei COLORS🎊㊗️🍾!
The gorgeous entrée also gives me a sense of accomplishment after a mountainous summer!
I'm sure Cosmos must have sunk in, as I'm sure your daughter is relieved that nothing happened to her ☺️
Gyve, congrats on your first Colors home drink 🎉!
Thanks for your work 😊and I'm relieved your daughter's fever is down too ❣️ that's a good drink to open 😆.
The sweet and sourness of the cosmos is blotchy 😌.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
I had to make arrangements at the hospital and everything, but he was so excited and jumpy, it was really something. I was like, "What's going on?
This is the bottle I want to open at CoCo Ichiban: ✨️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
I'd like to take it easy for a while after a hard day of work, but my autonomic nervous system has been under a lot of strain, so I'd like to drink some "Akizakura" first to calm my mind and body down✨.
Hi Hiro, good evening 🌛.
I'm so exhausted that I can't move after a crazy job, so the first thing I do is recover ✨.
Then, urgent work comes in, and I find myself in a bit of a mountainous situation at the end of the month 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake 🌛.
I've been waiting for a chance to drink the "Shinsei" for a while now, but this time I opened the bottle unanimously with all my jive 🥰.
The limited edition ramen from Yamaoka was delicious, so be sure to try it 🍜.
Good evening, Aladdin-san 🌛.
While I had to go to the fish shop late to deal with my daughter, the last piece of "chutoro sashimi" had a half price sticker on it, which was just like "there is fortune in leftovers" 🥰This time, I put priority on what I want to eat!
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I finally got my hands on "Shinsei Colors", I had to choose between it and "Shinsei Colors Sanso (Earth)" 🤔.
I always wonder if I should suddenly go to the high end of the market.
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 🤣.
