January 6 was the first day of work for some of us, but since we couldn't coordinate our schedules, we held our annual "New Year's party with sukiyaki" on that day.
The place was the usual favorite, Kicchin Usagi 😁.
After saying hello to the proprietress of Usagi and wishing her a happy new year, we started with beer and appetizers to quench our thirst, and then moved on to sake 🍶.
We brought in two bottles of sake and the first one we opened was this one ✨.
Shinshu Kamerei Yumemizuho.
Please refer to the previous review 🙇.
The reason why we chose this one this time is because the proprietress is from Suzu city in Noto, Ishikawa prefecture, and the place where she was born and raised was damaged by the earthquake last year, so we chose this one with a wish for the reconstruction!
She has been to Suzu several times and was worried about the current situation that is not progressing as well as she would like.
She was also concerned about the current situation, so she decided to do what she could to support the recovery efforts by drinking this wine.
The proprietress also tasted a little and liked it 😋.
I bought 3 bottles of "Yumemizuho" from Okazaki Shuzo in the summer and finished them all 😊.
The fun continues with the excellent "Sukiyaki" 🔜.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
It has been a year since the disaster, but the reconstruction has not progressed much. I am so saddened by the thoughts of the landlady. I wish for a speedy recovery as well 😌.
Good morning, Jive 🐥.
I love that you took it with you to your feelings, and I see you bought 3 bottles of this alcohol 😳 Great!
I like the idea of having a meeting every year to decide on this restaurant and this food 😊.
Good morning, Mr. Noodle Drink King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It seems that the temporary highway was finally connected at the end of last year, but it's still hard to get to 💦.
Especially, there are many places where the uplifted land has created height differences, and it seems that there is no way to see the future for full recovery.
Good morning, Pon-chan!
［When we went to Okazaki Sake Brewery, we picked up all the sake that everyone else didn't buy 🤣.
One of the members of the group has requested sukiyaki, so we ask her to bring her own sake to Usagi every year!
After enjoying the marriage of delicious sushi and Fukui's local sake, we wanted some more sake, so we went to a nearby restaurant called Don Chaya (🚶).
I looked around the cellar to see what to drink and found a drunken one, so I got this one to start my day 🍶.
Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai Nigori Sake Nama
Then my friend and I had a toast at Zeke's Jigokin 🥂.
The aroma of full rice, the taste of mellow sweetness, and the finish is so pleasant that you can relax!
I wasn't really aware of the "Nigorin Pic" that is so popular in the Sakegawa area, but I've been drinking a lot of nigori sake this season 🤔.
Jive, ❣️ Sieg now 🫡 looks delicious ‼️ and the sake labels in the background are amazing ‼️ I'm jealous that you know so many sushi restaurants, small restaurants, and places where you can drink good sake 🩷 I'm starting to want to drink nigori too 😍
Hello, Pekho-san!
［Donjaya] has the best selection of sake in the downtown area, so they have a wide variety of sake, from the standard to the precious to the weird 😁.
They also have a wide variety of entrées 🥰.
After enjoying "Ippongi" with sushi at the sushi bar, the owner kindly allowed me to taste another awesome sake 😁.
Kuroryu Ishidaya
A top class of Fukui's famous "Kuroryu" sake that needs no explanation.
A drink you can't normally drink with one foot in old sake ✨.
The counter is wood grain, so it's hard to tell, but the color is a little brown 🥃.
The aroma is matured well, the taste is calm and mellow like caramel, and the aftertaste is clean with a glimpse of "Ishidaya".
It has been more than 10 years since I last drank "Ishidaya", so it has been quite a while since I had a chance to drink it!
However, in my personal opinion, I like it better if I drink it without letting it sit 🤣.
Good morning, Jive 🐥.
The sushi shop where the sushi was laid out was amazing, as was the customer who brought it to me! And the fact that you can drink this is what Fukui is all about 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
Sushi 🍣 that has been laid down by craftsmanship to concentrate the flavor is a roar of deliciousness 😋 but you are a two-faced man who also lays down the sake 😁.
I want to go to a sushi restaurant with a counter 🥹 for the first time in a long time!
Hi Pon-chan!
There are only a few stores in my hometown that serve "Ishida-ya", but there are some, so it depends on your communication with the store owner 😅.
I heard that the owner opened the bottle saying, "Let's drink it!
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
It's been quite a while since I've had sushi at the counter myself, so thanks to my friend for bringing me 😁.
I'm going to try to learn more about the fish to go along with the story, so I'll try to refer to that for my next entrée ✨.
After work, a friend invited me out for a drink, so I went to Katamachi, downtown Fukui, for a New Year's drink.
We went to a sushi restaurant that my friend frequents 🚶.
The owner of the sushi restaurant opened a bottle of this New Year's sake for us to enjoy 🍶.
Ippongi Junmai Daiginjo Ippongi Monogatari.
The aroma of sweet melon filled the area when the bottle was opened, and when I checked the aroma up close, it was mellow and deep melon-like aroma.
This is "Ippongi" top quality limited edition sake with a leather label depicting this year's zodiac sign 😁.
It's not like the dry sake I usually drink hot 😲.
It's been about 6 years since I had a chance to drink it. Hare sake is really delicious 😋.
I also had a bottle of "Ippongi Hatsushibori" from the same brewery that had been aged for 2 months!
The aroma is full and rich with rice, the mouthfeel is rich and umami with a mild aftertaste, and the alcohol has a strong impact at the end.
The taste was not as fresh and gaseous as it had been after 2 months of aging, but it had a more subdued flavor.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
It's fun to have a drink with a sudden invitation 🎵.
And a sushi restaurant is definitely a good place to drink sake. ⤴️
And from your review of the sake, it looks delicious 🤤.
Hi ma-ki-!
I can do it because my family is back home 😅.
The downtown area of Fukui is a little far from the station, and although the area in front of the station was crowded with people going back home, the downtown area was quieter and I could relax 😁.
I had the 2nd day off after the New Year, but I worked from the 3rd to the 6th, including the night shift.
I also went home to my family, so I went to a hot spring to work out and had my annual drink at my parents' house 😁.
Snow Kirara ARA-SHIBORI
［The top clear liquid.]
Aroma of mellow rice flavor, fresh and smooth taste, sweetness, and a lingering aftertaste of freshness and alcohol, and finally bitterness on the tongue.
［Nigori]
Aroma of rich rice aroma, mellow sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste.
The impactful taste is followed by a refreshing aftertaste, just like the people who received this as a gift, just like the "gari" (pickled ginger) in sushi 🤣.
Once you get used to drinking it, the mellow sweetness is irresistible!
So, what shall I do this year🤔?
I have the urge to visit various places in Japan, and I've been encouraged by the people at the Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line meeting, so I'm thinking vaguely about organizing an Off-line meeting in the Hokuriku block ✨.
If you have any comments or opinions, I would appreciate it if you could let me know 😀.
The 4th picture is the first crescent moon of the year seen through a break in the clouds 🌛.
Hi Gyve, hi there.
Thanks for your work since the 3rd🍀.
Crescent moon viewing sake - beautiful 🌙.
And the local sake looks delicious as always✨.
Looks like it's going to be an increasingly active year for sake 🎵.
Looking forward to your posts 😊.
Mr. Jive Happy New Year 🎍 Sorry for the delay, but thank you for your support this year 🙇.
Thank you for your work. It's the annual Imasho sake 😍.
I look forward to your posts and offline meetings this year 😊.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Snow Kirara, beautiful name and the typeface gives it a mellow feel ☺️ Definitely looks delicious 😋 Off-line meeting, as expected of you Jive to organize it 👍I wish I could have such an off-line meeting 🥰.
Happy New Year, Mr. Gyve 🎍🎍.
Thanks to Gyve's help, we were able to enjoy "Yukikirara" last year ❗The crisp flavor goes well with seafood and mountain food for New Year's Day ✨.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Thanks for your work at the beginning of the year: 🙇♂️
I see what you mean by "gari" in sushi 🧐.
I think it has something in common with the process of drinking sake from the beginning to the aftertaste, and from the appetizer to the end of the meal 🍶.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Looks like you have been busy working since the beginning of the year 🥲Thanks for your time 😌Off-line meeting in Hokuriku! Nice 🤗 Actually if we were able to make the Hokuriku trip last year, I was thinking of asking everyone I know to join us! Looking forward to it 😊
Good morning, Mr. Jive 🐥.
I'm looking forward to meeting you in Hokuriku! It was one of my goals last year to visit you in other places, but it didn't happen 💦I'd like to join you if you do 😆More and more fun things to do 😊👍.
Good evening, ma-ki-.
I'm in the office almost every day during the New Year's holidays 😁.
I've been drinking sake since I wanted to feel the season in my workplace, which is not seasonal to begin with 🤣.
Happy New Year, Ao-chan 🌄 and I look forward to working with you in the new year ✨.
I've tried a lot of different sake after a year, so I got "Yuki Kirara" for a reset first 😋.
I would like to try other sake from Hatakeyama Sake Brewery.
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening 🌛.
I just found out the other day about another prefectural sake called "Yukisarara" and I'm thinking of putting it together once 🤣.
It's fun to have a real drinking party with the people I'm interacting with through Sake no Wa 😁.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine 🌛.
It's been a tough new year 😅
This "Yuki Kirara" goes well with food and is very easy to drink, but if you're on a roll, the 18% alcohol content will hit you at once 🤣.
Good evening shinsaku3!
I've had a few people drink it, but the impact of someone saying [gari] was so great that it's now a firm fixture 🤣.
It's a dish that gradually builds up expectations towards the main course, isn't it?
Good evening, Jay and Nobby 🌛.
I realized that I have a lot of work after New Year's until the end of the year, so I'll do my best ✨.
I was wondering if you could give me a chance to gather members for an offline meeting, so I thought I'd try it myself.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
Off-line meetings in other areas sound like fun 😁.
I've always wanted to participate and I'd like to gather members in Hokuriku as well, so I'm thinking of preparing for it little by little this year ✨.
Hello bouken!
I know it's an annual thing, but I need some time to rest 😅.
There's quite a few "rough squeezed" cages in there 😁 it's getting even more garish 🤣.
Please contact me and I'll stock it for you ✨
Drinking at Shima & Coffee & Sake on New Year's Day
I was about to order my last cup of coffee when the master of a local shochu bar came to the bar and after chatting with Shima, he decided to open his favorite drink.
Shinsei Amageru
First time to drink "Amaeru" 🎉.
It has a characteristic aroma, but I can't describe it well. It has a very firm gasiness at the mouth, a sweetness and a soft acidity after the shwash, and a fresh and sweet acidity after the shwash gasiness that goes down your throat.
This is delicious. It has a more robust flavor than the Viridian I drank a while ago, but the aftertaste is lighter due to the strength of the gas feeling.
The lightness of 8% alcohol and the strong gassiness will surely make you mistake it for champagne if you drink it blind 🍾.
I jumped on the Echizen Railway without coffee because I was pressed for time 🚃.
Gyve, I hope you have a great year 😌.
Tenfrog? ‼️ I have never seen you yet 😲 Recently Choroki-san drank a few years brewed Tenfrog and it was like a carbonated bee ❗‼️ awesome sake!
Happy New Year, King of Noodle Wine 🌄.
I look forward to working with you this year ✨
It was your first time, but the gas pressure is really high, shwash shwash 🍾.
［Shima] had a hard time opening it too 🤣.
Hi ma-ki-!
I am a very active person, and I am always in good shape, so before I go out to drink, I always go to the gym and take a bath to work out 🤣.
Last year I was able to get some Shinmasa, so I'm hoping to achieve home drinking this year✨.
Drinking at Shima & Coffee & Sake in the New Year (3)
After comparing "Date Seven", I thought the next one I wanted was "KahayoYoku", a hidden sake announced on Instagram, but unfortunately it was sold out yesterday 😅.
Then, let's ask for the one I was curious about when I saw the label. I was wondering what's this on the label 😁.
Amezure, Sake Kaiyoshi (Leader of the Sake World)
Aroma of rice like a mellow lactic acid drink, gasiness at the mouth, sweetness like a lactic acid drink, and bitterness on the back, followed by a mellow, pleasantly sweet aftertaste, and a slight tightening feeling on the tongue at the end.
It's like a Yakult's millege soda.
Mr. Shima said it is the same height as a four-pack bottle but has a capacity of 1.5 liters, so it is easy to find a place to put it.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
The Sake World Leader of Rainfall 😳
It's a limited distribution one from Isego Honten in Tokyo and Sake base in Chiba ☺️
I've been wanting to try it 🤤It's amazing that you can drink this! You are a very drunk store 😊.
Drinking at Shima & Coffee & Sake in the New Year (2)
I have to order this one to compare with "Date Seven Orihime Bottle" 😁.
Date Seven Junmai Daiginjo Bokue Style Hikoboshi Bottle
Soft and fruity aroma of rice, mild umami and sweetness, and a pleasant aftertaste.
In my opinion, Hikoboshi is milder and easier to drink 🤔.
The Hikoboshi bottle was the first to sell out ✨.
This year, as is customary this year, we went on a drinking spree while making the rounds to greet the in-laws 😁.
I wanted to greet them for the New Year, so I went to Shima & Coffee & Sake 🚶.
Takashi-san was there cleaning up for the collaboration event, so we kicked off the evening with an Octopus Wiener and a bottle of Black Label 🍺.
Now, let's drink! I went to the cellar and found a bottle that was rare for this time of the year, so I compared them 😋.
Date Seven Junmai Daiginjo Katsuyama Style Orihime Bottle
It has a cool, slightly pear-like rice aroma, a clean mouthfeel with a fruity flavor and a hint of sweetness that finishes with a punchy alcoholic aftertaste.
As you get used to drinking it, the impact fades and the fruity and umami flavors come through, making it easy to drink ✨.
Happy New Year 🌄.
Please bear with me and my jive ramblings this year 🤣.
Well, after taking a nap after a successful night shift on New Year's Eve, I started [drinking] ❗️
I opened a bottle of Jive 2024, the most impressive bottle from the previous year 🍶.
Rairaku Junmai Ginjo Abelia Yeast Nama Sake.
Sweet floral aroma like nectar filled the air from the moment the bottle was opened.
［The sake has a gentle and gorgeous aroma of rice.]
The calm and gorgeous aroma of rice, the sweet flavor reminiscent of floral honey, and the lingering aftertaste that leaves you with a sigh of relief, and the bitterness that lingers in the mouth at the end.
［Mokkiri.]
The same calm, sweet aroma of rice, a sense of gas that you don't notice until you concentrate on drinking, soft sweetness and umami, a pleasant lingering finish, and a hint of bitterness in the soft finish.
A cup that relaxes you as you drink more and more of it.
From my past experience, I have found that when I drink a wine that I liked once and then drink it again, I sometimes feel that the taste is not quite the same. In the past, I have found that when I drink a bottle that I liked once and then drink it again, I sometimes find the taste strange, but this "Rairaku" is one that I like even more the second time around ✨.
Thank you bouken for introducing me to this sake 🙇.
We went all out for the New Year's dish and served it with tuna fatty tuna from Wakayama Prefecture.
P.S. One of the style of the evening drink before opening the 4th "Rairaku": 📹️
［Akahoshi, Potato Salad and Document 72 Hours are a must ✨.
Enjoy the review and envision drinking this before sake again this year 🤣.
Happy New Year, Mr. Gyves 🎍.
Thank you for choosing Rairaku as your first drink of the new year 🙏.
I think I need to drink it again 😁.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Mr. Jaive
Happy New Year ^_^
The label looks nice and relaxed ✨
I'm very interested in this sake and would like to try it: ☺️
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇🙇.
Happy New Year, Gyve 🎍Sake you'll love even more the second time around 🍶It's appropriate for the New Year: ☺️
I'm looking forward to another year of tsukimi sakes and reviews of the different tastes of different sake vessels 🥳New Year's greetings to you ✨.
Happy New Year to you, Gyve 🎉 Happy New Year to you and your delicious drinks 😆 I wish you a happy and healthy year 👍 I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Happy New Year to you, Jive 🎍 and best wishes for the new year 🙇.
Abelia is delicious! The label is red and fits perfectly ❣️
I didn't think of Document 72 hours 🤣I love potato salad and it's an eternal challenge 😁.
Happy New Year 🎍✨Thanks for the New Year 🙏I would love to visit Lailaku's Abelia yeast that good 😋 I would love to visit Lailaku! And you can't go wrong with a good potato salad drinker 😆.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I drink beer to quench my thirst before drinking sake, but Akahoshi is still my favorite 🥰.
I keep a case of large bottles so I can drink it at home 🤣.
I'm going to be promoting "Rairaku" from now on ✨
Hello bouken!
Thank you for the "rairaku" 🙇.
I didn't think I would like it even more after drinking it twice 😁.
I'm wondering if I should put it in the Sake no Wa Hall of Fame 🤣.
Happy New Year to you, Uchi~'s super~rippa🌄!
There are still a lot of sake that I don't know about, so I'm looking forward to trying many more this year 😁.
I look forward to working with you this year ✨
Happy New Year, Pon 🌄.
I really like "Rairaku Abelia" but the problem is that it's hard to get it 😅.
I wish they would bring back mail order ✨
I usually have potato salad and beer ✨ even when I'm at the 0th party.
Happy New Year, Mr. Jive 🌅.
Rairaku! It's been put into my head 👍and when I look at your photos with that in mind, they become more and more attractive😍We can't wait to drink our first bottle of the new year 😚.
Thank you again for your support this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby 🌄.
I'm going to go on record and say that my favorite flavor is Rairaku Abelia 😁🤣.
Looking forward to seeing what you and Jay will be drinking for your first bottle of sake✨.
Happy New Year, Maechen 🌄.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
I'll be posting a lot of things through trial and error✨
I have a few things I'm thinking about and will publish them soon🤣.
Mr. Jive Happy New Year! Last year was a tough start to the year in Hokuriku, but I hope this year will be a peaceful one. I received Bunraku last year and it was a home-run class. It is very good, isn't it?
Happy New Year, Jive 🎍.
I look forward to working with you this year as well🙇♂️
I tried to get sake with potato salad at a New Year's party because of Gyve's influence ‼️ I got hooked 🥹.
Hello, Mr.urchin.
Looking back, I feel that the earthquake led to the flurry of 2024 😅.
I hope this year will be a year of peace and quiet✨
I'm going to stock up while they have it 🤣.
Happy New Year, Mr. Muro 🌄.
I look forward to working with you again this year ✨
I think potato salad is a versatile drink accompaniment, and I'm happy to find a good restaurant when I go out drinking 🤣.
［I'd love it if they had a bottle of Akahoshi on tap!
I've been working all year, so I don't feel the end of the year as much as usual 😁.
I'm working all the time, so I don't feel the year-end feeling more than usual😅.
Well, since I won the night shift on New Year's Eve again this year, I opened a bottle of sake that I was going to drink on New Year's Eve to finish the year a little early 🍶.
Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjyo Yamae Nishiki Kurage Limited Edition.
I bought this one when I went to Okazaki Sake Brewery in the summer and have been saving it to drink at the end of the year 😙.
［I kept it to drink at the end of the year.]
The aroma alone is a trip, with a full-bodied, mellow, sweet aroma of rice, a slight gas feeling on the tip of the tongue, a rich umami and fruity sweetness, and a pleasantly sweet aftertaste that finishes with a sharp finish.
Trip time: 19 seconds
［Mokkiri.]
Rich aroma of rice, a slight gassy sensation on the palate, and a long, pleasant aftertaste that is almost heavenly, from the rich umami and fruity-sweetness to a long, sharp finish.
Served with [horse sashimi] and [oden].
Originally, I was going to open this sake and enjoy drinking it slowly with horse sashimi while watching the annual award-winning documentary "Document 72 Hours" 🤣.
Thank you for your company for another year 🙇.
I might put up a review of the year-end party after this, but it will be the last time I do it properly this year✨.
Have a drunken New Year's 🤗
The fourth image is a list of artists and songs I've listened to most on Spotify this year🎶.
I can't help but agree with the lineup 🤣.
I wonder what I'll get into next year 😙.
Hi Gyve 😃
New Year's Eve night shift 😳That's a tough job crossing over into the new year, thank you for your time 😔.
I can't finish my work in the middle of the year either, but I hope you can at least relax at the beginning of the year ☺️
Thank you for your help this year! Have a drunken New Year 🍶.
Jive, maido 🍶.
Thank you for your work. I worked on New Year's Eve when I was working 😅.
Thank you for your time this year too 🍶 Have a drunken New Year's 🍶.
Hi Gyve 😃
I'm sorry to hear about your New Year's Eve night shift. I'm also working until New Year's Eve, but I can eat New Year's Eve soba at home, so I'm sorry for you Gyive 💦 Hope you can spend that time with your family after the New Year 🥰.
Hi Jive 😊.
New Year's Eve night shift...oh no 😣 that's tough. Thanks for your hard work 🙇 You opened a good last home drink of the year 👍.
Thanks again for your help this year. Have a drunken New Year!
Let's drink again next year!
Hi Jive, good evening.
I see you are working the night shift on New Year's Eve 😵.
I hope you have a good night's sleep again in the New Year 🍶.
Thank you so much for your help this year! I look forward to your posts in the coming year 🎵 Please do me a favor 😊.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
Shinshu Kamerei is good ‼️ thank you very much for your help this year 🙇Let's have a good drink next year too 🎵Good New Year ✨
Mr. Gyve, thank you for bringing us together...
Good luck with your year-end work.
I'll be waiting for some good drinks at the beginning of the year 😉 Have a good New Year's 🎍.
Hi Gyve 😃.
Thank you for working until the new year 😌I look forward to seeing you in the next year with your excellent energy and communication skills 🤗Have a nice New Year 🤗.
See you in Hokuriku next year 👋
Good evening Aladdin 🌛.
I'm back at work safe and sound, and I'll do my best until tomorrow morning 😁.
Aladdin-san, you are also very busy, so please take it easy a little after the new year.
Thank you so much for your help this year and I look forward to working with you again next year.
Good evening, Kyuzo-san 🌛.
I see that you have experienced working at night on New Year's Eve too 😲.
I'll try my best now so that I can spend a relaxing time someday too 😁.
Thank you for your help at the offline meetings, etc., and I look forward to working with you again next year ✨.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 🌛.
You are my workmate until New Year's Eve ✨.
Thank you for your kind words 😁.
I will bring a cassette stove to the office and have New Year's Eve soba noodles with an aluminum pot 😋.
I look forward to working with you next year!
Good evening, Maru-san 🌛.
I'm working at night on New Year's Eve for the second year in a row, so I gave a prick to my boss who is setting up my shift 🤣.
I thought this would be a good time to open the "Shinshu Kamerei" that I finally got 🤔.
Thank you for your continued support next year!
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
Is your flu getting better? Enjoy your New Year's drunken drink that also celebrates your good health at the beginning of the year 😁.
I look forward to working with you again next year ✨
Good evening, Mr. Menshuoh!
You also opened "Shinshu Kamerei", didn't you 😁.
And since we were both on night shift last year, I thought it was déjà vu at first 🤣.
Thank you for all the delicious sake and Hokkaido delicacies this year ✨.
@Mizuhashi, good evening 🌛.
I'll do my best with one word: delicious sake waiting for me after the New Year's Eve night shift 🤣.
I know what sake I'm going to open, so I'll buy something to go home with.
Thank you for your help this year, and I look forward to working with you again next year!
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌛.
It's a job that someone has to do, so I'll try my best to split it up 😁.
I hope to adjust my schedule so that I can go to Tochigi next year too!
Thanks again for your help this year and I look forward to working with you next year!
Hi Jive, good evening😊.
I see you are working the night shift on New Year's Eve ‼️😳That's tough 💦.
The last sake of the year is the brewery limited Shinshu Kamerei 🐢✨.
You've got it right 😉👍.
Let's enjoy sake activities next year 😊♪
Have a happy new year 🤗
Happy New Year, Tsubu-chan 🌄.
I'm working nights for the second year in a row, but I'll get a special bonus so I'll use it to pay for my sake 🤣.
［I've been laying in for this ever since I went to Okazaki Brewery.
I look forward to working with you again this year ✨
This week has been a combination of my oldest daughter's flu and a mountain of work!
Work was like a buckwheat noodle shop on New Year's Eve, and as we worked, we kept getting asked to do more and more things, and there was no time to take a break.
When my eldest daughter came down with the flu, my brother-in-law was the next one to come down with a fever, but had we been in contact? Then, when he was tested, it turned out to be corona, which is a different strain of infection 😷.
From there, the infection spread to my sister's family.
Fortunately, we found out that it had not spread to other family members, and we were finally relieved on the 26th.
Originally, I was invited to my in-laws' house for a hot spring vacation on the 26th after getting through work, but they cancelled the trip due to the flu infection.
The fever had finally broken, so I had a glass of sake to help me through the busy week 🍶.
Takeba Shiboritate Nama Nama Sake
［Gugumeumimi.]
Aroma of mellow rice, clear and silky flavor, sweetness with a hint of alcohol behind it, mellow lingering taste, and a slight bitterness at the end.
［Mokkiri]
Aroma of firm rice, clear and silky flavor, a little bit of alcohol taste with a hint of sweetness, and a pleasant aftertaste that relaxes the palate.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Both the flu and corona are quite prevalent 😖.
Thank you for your work in taking care of her 😌I wish your eldest daughter a full recovery.
Takeba is one of the brands I'd like to try ❗I like the variety of flavors!
Hi Jive, Good evening, ☺️ Thank you for all your hard work nursing the kids. The alcohol must be stinging. I have never had Takeba yet, so I am curious about it. The difference in taste depending on the sake container is also clearly expressed.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 🌛Thanks for your hard work at work and nursing your daughter 🙇I'm relieved that your daughter is free from fever 😊Maybe you should stay at home during the year-end and New Year holidays to nourish your energy 🤔It will soon be a year since the Noto Peninsula earthquake 🙏🔔.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
Your eldest daughter and her relatives had a hard time at the end of the year 😷Thanks for all your hard work in taking care of her and her family.
As Nemuchi-san said, it's already been a year since then. Noto's reconstruction is still in progress. I would like to drink Noto sake again too 🍶.
Good evening, Gyve-san 🦉.
I'm sure it's been a hard day of work and nursing 💦Take good care of yourself so that you don't get too tired 🙏.
I've always been curious about bamboo leaves, so I'd like to try them... 😊 I'd like to continue to support you too 😊.
Good morning, Jive!
Thank you for your hard work during the week of rage🍀.
This time of year it is so easy to suffer from infectious diseases 💧.
I've been wondering about bamboo leaves too, it's a drink I'd like to try 😊.
Hi, Mr. Noodle King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm so glad to hear that your eldest daughter has recovered from her fever and is running around fine again, and that she didn't get worse ✨.
This year I found it at a local liquor store and immediately took it home, the first pressing since the brewery was rebuilt!
Hello, Studying!
I'm sure you've been through a lot with your back pain and your family's flu infection, thank you for your hard work 😁.
It's quite interesting to see the taste and change when you change the sake cups, although it does increase the amount of washing up 🤣.
Hello, Nemuchi!
Actually, I have a lot of work waiting for me at the end of the year 💦.
I won the night shift on New Year's Eve this year too, so it will be a while before I can take a break 😞.
I wish I won the lottery with you 🤣.
Hello Aladdin!
Sorry to bother you, but my eldest daughter has finally recovered and we're all settled ✨.
I used to drink a collaboration sake between Takeba and Akabu Shuzo, so when I found it at a liquor store, I bought it without hesitation 😁I will drink it and support Noto 📣.
Hello Pon-chan!
I'm at my physical and mental limits, but I'm going to push on with my energy and strength 🤣.
I know many of you are interested in "Takeba" ✨.
It's been a year since the disaster, and we are halfway to recovery, but we will do what we can to help 📣.
Hi ma-ki-san!
Actually, I've had a bad experience with corona infection in the last 2 years during the year-end and New Year's holidays, so I was just wondering if I'll be okay this year 😅.
You all are very interested in "Takeba", let's drink and support it 📣.
One more tithe at the Christmas party 🍶.
After drinking all the Snoquets, my dad brought out this one ✨.
Hakuryu Junmai Genshu Kuradashi Genshu Limited Edition.
Aroma of full rice, juicy flavor, sweetness, fruity aroma, and a sharp and refreshing aftertaste.
The juicy flavor and refreshing sharpness will keep you drinking it indefinitely 😋.
The party was a lot of fun with gifts from grandma and grandpa, but my eldest daughter got a fever in the evening 🥵.
The next day we found out she had the flu and it turned into a brawl outside the "Great Battle of the Holy Night" 💦.
By the way, Santa's present 🎁 that came for my eldest daughter, I found out that she wrote on a piece of paper that she wanted something else right before she got it, and the first thing she said when she opened it was [the contents are different] 😅⤵️
Hi Gyve, good evening😄.
How is your daughter feeling? I hope she hasn't infected the rest of the family 💦I'm worried about my grandma and grandpa 💧I wish you a happy new year ✨🎁 means Santa can make mistakes too ‼️
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
Such a tough later 😓 Take care 😌.
You've learned that Santa has time to prepare too 🤗.
Kochira's Hakuryu Akiagari label is the model for Hiyoroshi-kun 😆 I hope to get it next season 😄.
Hi Gyve, good evening 🦉.
When I see the white dragon, I think it's Mr. Jaive's father 😊👍.
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter 😢I wish her a speedy and complete recovery 🙏.
Good morning, Jive 😃I hope your daughter feels better soon: ☺️
I didn't realize there was such a side story unfolding in the great battle of Holy Night 💦 every house has a difficult Santa situation 😅.
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The fever has already broken and we're in a wait-and-see period 😁.
Fortunately it doesn't look like it will spread any further, but it was a big deal along with the end of the year work 💦.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
I'll probably have enough material for one review in this flu fiasco, so I'll write about it next time 😁.
I would recommend Hakuryu as well ✨
Hi Pon-chan!
Basically when I write my review of "Hakuryu" it's when I'm drinking with my dad 😁.
He's out of fever now, but he's pretty bored since he can't leave the house due to quarantine 😅.
Hello, Mr. Wakata!
My eldest daughter had a fever and then things took an unexpected turn 😅.
I told my eldest daughter that I had already prepared Santa Claus ahead of time and that I would write him a letter early next year 😁.
Good morning, Gyve-san.
When I think of White Dragon, I also think of Mr. Gyve's father✨.
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter 💧.
I'm glad to hear that your fever has already broken🍀.
Hi ma-ki-san!
My dad goes to the Yoshida Sake Brewery's new sake festival every year 😅.
I think this sake is probably limited to the brewery or event ✨.
I'm so glad your fever broke before the end of the year 😁.
Merry Christmas🎄❄
Did Santa Claus come to your place too 🤣.
This year, for the first time in two years, the end of the year work session turned into a battle of the Holy Night, so we held a Christmas party a little earlier on the 22nd 🎉 with my nieces and nephews.
We bought some hors d'oeuvres and other food items, mainly hand-rolled sushi at the request of the kids 😁.
Now, I personally have a cup of this drink which is certified as a [Christmas drink] 🍶.
Koeikiku Snow Crescent Yamadanishiki 2024.
This season, I enjoy ❄Snocrescent 🌙.
This time, it will be served in an iittala glass.
［The top clearnace.]
The aroma of rice is slightly citrusy, and the mouthfeel is full of gas, sweetness, umami, grapefruit-like acidity, and finally, a firm bitterness.
The sweetness and umami are enhanced when mixed with orikomi, and the depth of the aftertaste is also increased.
Delicious again this year 😁.
Even my mom, who has recently started drinking sake with my dad, said it was "sweet".
Jive, Merry Christmas 🎄 so you had a big Holy Night battle yesterday, good job 😊Snoclet is indeed perfect for Christmas💕shwashy and sharp, I'll be guzzling it down 😆Snoclet is wonderful for your family 💕.
Jive, MerryXmas🎅🎄.
I'm not sure about weekdays, so we got ours done on Sunday too 😁 It's a tough time of year 💦.
Snoclet is perfect for Xmas! Glad your mom was pleased too 😉.
Merry Christmas✨, Jive!
Here's the famous snoclette... ⤴️
The review looks delicious too 🎵
I'd love to get some next year with a little more cellar management 😊.
Welcome to the sake swamp, your mother too 😁.
Merry Xmas🎉🎅🌲, Jive!
Looks like a fun and lively Xmas party 😊Snockered and swamped with your mother! Yay 🙌!
By the way, Santa came to my kids, but not to me 😂.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Merry Christmas with Snoqualmie🎄You're right, it's very Christmasy😄It's nice that you and your family can enjoy the same drink together 🤗.
Jive, Merry Xmas🎄✨
Snoclet, I'm sure it's oriented or the name is kind of Christmasy 😆.
The hand roll sushi party is a fun one 🥳 Thanks for your work at the end of the year ‼️
Hi Wakata!
［I've just finished a battle so intense that even John McClane from Die Hard would be surprised😅.
There's a champagne-like element to it, and the fermentation level increases the gas pressure to the point where the lid flies off✨.
Hi, Pon-chan!
When my siblings and their families gather at my parents' house, we naturally have a joint party on Saturdays and Sundays, with a presend at each family's house 😁.
Recently, I've started drinking about 1 gou of beer and 1 gou of sake combined 💦.
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
There are 3 versions of "Sunokure" with different rice, so you still have a chance to get it 😁.
I think you can buy it almost all year round at Nishimura Sake Shop in Kyoto, which Pon-chan told me about ✨.
Hi Maru!
My mom has a habit of sneezing when she's dry and this time I got a 🆗 decision without sneezing 😁.
Odd, Santa didn't come to my room either 💦It's possible that the traps for capturing him have been exposed.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
We are becoming more and more of a drinking family and I think someone needs a stopper💦.
It's like they notice there's a cage and chuck it in and then pour it out 🤣.
Hello Kotaro!
I've been drinking this for about a month now, so I think I'm just a little bit drunk 😁.
I was drinking hand-rolled sushi when it came to my place because the rice was gone 🍶.
December 21 is my wife's birthday 🎂.
What do you want? I asked her what she wanted and she said she had been wanting to eat at Tondo for a while, so I called the restaurant and had her take out 😁.
I knew I wanted to pair the food made with local ingredients with a good sake, so I opened a bottle of sake with a versatile flavor and had a glass of sake 🍶.
Nabeshima Special Junmai Namaishu
［Gugumeumi.]
The aroma is sweet like muscat, the mouthfeel is slightly sweet and mellow with a lingering aftertaste that finishes with a slight bitterness on the tongue.
［Slight bitterness on the tongue at the end.]
Slight aroma of rice with a hint of white grapes, soft sweetness and umami, and a pleasant aftertaste.
Long time "Nabeshima" home drinking ✨.
I bought this one at Takakura when I was in Osaka for the Sakegawa Off-line Meeting the other day, after Aladdin told me about a distributor in Osaka 😁.
I was so impressed with the number of "Nabeshima" bottles on the shelves that I asked the clerk if there was a limit on the number of bottles I could buy. I was so surprised that I asked the shop assistant if there was a purchase limit.
I bought another specs, so I will open it around the beginning of the year 🤔.
The 4th one I found when I went to a stationery store to buy Christmas presents for my daughters 🎄🎁 [calendar with the month's age] I want one, but I can't spend 6,000 yen 💦.
Hi Gyve, hi there.
Happy birthday to your wife 🎉.
There are rumors that Nabeshima is the best special junmai, and I'm sure the sake with delicious rice must have been a wonderful birthday drink ✨.
Takakura-san has a great selection of Nabeshima 😊.
Hi Gyve 😃
Happy Birthday to your wife 🎂🎁The takeout dish she requested looks so delicious 😋It sure looks good with Nabeshima ❣️ You are so kind Mr. Jive to celebrate your wife 🥰.
Hello Mr. Jive ^_^
Happy birthday to your wife 🎉!
Nabesama's Tokujun Namaishu is delicious ✨.
I wonder if you have any special pure raw sake when you go shopping at the end of the year🤔.
If there is, I would love to drink it 😊.
Hello, Gyve!
We would like to wish your wife a very Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
I love your celebration with take-out and Nabeshima! 👍👍
I still want to get a calendar with the month's age on it! 😅
Mr. Shive.
Hello 🎉Happy birthday to your wife 🎉I definitely want to open a good bottle of sake for our anniversary 😊A store where you can always buy Nabeshima is very useful 👍I wish I could afford to look up at the moon slowly 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Jaive 🥺.
Thank you for sharing your happiness 💕
I envy you too, Nave 😋It's a very hard brand to come across 😅I would be so excited if I could go to a special distributor or something like that 🤣 I would certainly check the limit on the number of bottles.
Good evening Mr. Jive 😃.
Happy birthday to your wife 🎂🎉.
It's nice to take out your favorite delicious looking hors d'oeuvres and have a relaxing drink at home 🤗and you can't go wrong with Nabe-sama's special purity😙.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve. Happy Birthday to your wife 🎂 A heaping helping of Mediterranean food that looks like it would be a great drink! Looks delicious 😋My calendar of the month, I hope Santa doesn't send it to you 🎁✨.
Happy Birthday to your wife, Gyve 🎉🎂🎂.
Mediterranean food is very rare, isn't it? You can take it out and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home 😊It's a wonderful gift 🎁👍I love the special pure raw at times like this!
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-.
［I often see the [Moon] series posted, and I feel that it is a popular brand because of the great taste of the regular sake 😁.
［I hope to repeat this again ✨.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama🙇.
We really wanted to take them to the restaurant, but we had to give up because the kids are still small and there's not much on the menu they can eat💦.
Instead, we paired it with sake, which we can't do at the restaurant.
Thanks for your comment, Manta 🙇.
I was lucky enough to get a bottle of the raw sake this time as the last one I got was fire-roasted 😁.
Fingers crossed you get it as it's perfect for New Year's Eve and New Year's dishes ✨.
Tomoyuki Kumagai, thank you for your comment 🙇.
I was relieved to see my wife, who had been sick a while ago and was a poor eater, eat so much ✨.
The price of the calendar is hard to afford when you think of it as something you get for free!
Thank you for your comment, Kozo🙇.
There are no stores in my hometown that carry Nabeshima, so I was very excited to see the abundant stock at the dealers 💃.
If you buy this calendar, you can see the moon every day 🤣.
Thanks for your comment, Muro 🙇.
Some stores put some kind of purchase condition on the purchase, so I was wary at my first visit 😅.
I hope to buy the "Moon" series next time 😁.
Thank you for your comments Jay & Nobby 🙇.
It's always nice to order a course or a la carte at a restaurant, but my wife was happy to be able to eat at her own pace at home ✨.
I can also drink sake that I can't find at the restaurant.
Thank you for your comment, Hirupeko 🙇.
It's too bad we don't have sake at the restaurant, but the food is really good, so if you come to Fukui, please visit 🤣.
If I buy this calendar, my expenses will be the same as my daughters, so I'll have to be patient!
Thanks for your comment, Ponchanka 🙇.
There are Mediterranean restaurants in the area 🤔, probably because of the abundance of seafood.
There is also a restaurant run by a sushi chef and a Mediterranean chef couple besides this one ✨.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
Happy belated birthday to your wife as well 🎂.
I'm glad you enjoyed Sake Takakazura ☺️
I haven't been able to visit Sake Takagura recently so I'm eager to go back 🍶.
Thanks for your comment, Aladdin 🙇.
［I was thrilled to see the wide variety of sake in stock at Takakura 🤣 there was more than just "Nabeshima" that I was interested in ✨.
We walked from Miyakojima station to Kyobashi, but there were some izakayas we were interested in, and we will be back again!
［The last dish I had at Emmi was this 🍶.
Tsuneyama Junmai Daiginjo Aiso Naokumi Nama
We had a sealed bottle ✨.
Tranquil and firm sweet rice aroma, a slight gas feeling on the tip of the tongue, a beautiful sweetness and umami, a clean sweet aftertaste, and finally a lingering bitterness on the tip of the tongue.
It's been a long time since I've tasted "Tsuneyama", which has a solid dry image, but this "Araiso" has a mellow sweetness that is delicious with a gap between the two.
I found this restaurant by chance on Instagram, but it's very cozy and I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer 😁.
The system is fixed price all-you-can-drink, so next time I want to visit early in the day 🍺🥃🍶.
Hey Gyve, thanks for having us 😃.
We too wanted to drink Tsuneyama! We finally got our first bottle the other day and it's waiting in our fridge 🤗 looking forward to drinking it 😙.
I think the all-you-can-drink deal might be for you strong guys 😆.
Good morning, Gyve 🐥.
I'd like to drink the previous two as well, but here is the brand I'd like to drink: ❣️ Jun Dai no Nao Kumi, it's definitely delicious 😻
I'm sure it's delicious 😻 Is it a stylish BAR-like fixed price drinking 😳Jive, you have a detector 😆.
Good morning to you too, Jay & Nobby!
Congratulations on getting Tsuneyama!
［I recommend a tour of the brewery as it's only a 1km walk from Fukui Station ✨I'm glad you don't have to worry about your wallet!
Good morning, Pon!
This is a bottle that you can only drink during this season and I highly recommend it if you can find it ✨.
We specialize in sake, shochu, and domestic whisky, so people with different tastes can enjoy them together 😁.
Second round of drinks at Emmi after the company's year-end party.
The next drink I ordered was a drink I hadn't had before.
Echizen-misaki Honami Unfiltered Unrefined Unrefined Sake.
Juicy, fruity, sweet rice aroma, juicy sweetness on the palate, then fades away, leaving a pleasant lingering bitter taste on the palate at the end.
I think this may be my favorite sake brewed with Sakahomare that I've ever had 🤔.
No wonder the King of Noodle Sake is crazy about it 😁.
The taste was highly praised by the other guests in the same room with us ✨.
Hi Gyve 😃
We are currently stocking this "Honami" ✌ waiting for the opening of the bottle now, but we hope to open it in the New Year or after the New Year 😋.
Good morning, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I see you've already secured a table 😁.
The cute mama was a great place for sake lovers to be served in kimonos ✨.
Yesterday was the company's year-end party 💡.
This year, for some reason, we held the party at an authentic bar with takeout food✨.
I wanted a sake component since the first party's options were beer or whiskey, so I visited my first solo second party [Japanese Sake BAR Emmi] 😁.
First, we started off with the opening "Hakugakusen" 👍️
Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Aragusuki
The taste of mellow rice and sweetness, the mouthfeel is gentle, but the sweetness and umami are firm, and then it finishes with a gorgeous lingering sweetness that is typical of Hakugakusen and a refreshing acidity.
I really like "Hakugakusen"!
Hi, Jive.
It's the season for year-end parties 🍺.
Somehow, Hakugaku Sen is the image of Mr. Gyve ✨.
Looks delicious again😊.
I'd love to drink it someday 🥰.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
I would have loved to join you from the solo after-party if I was closer 😆 Japanese sake BAR sounds like something with a nice atmosphere 🤗.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
It's a comfortable time of the year with the end-of-year rush and the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.
I've been getting reports that you've been drinking "Hakugakusen" a lot lately, so I'm very grateful for that 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
We are always happy to have you join us whenever you can 🤣.
The store specializes in sake, shochu, and domestic whiskey, and all the dishes are made in Fukui ✨.
Today, December 15, is the last full moon of the year 2024 🌝❄.
I'll be working the night shift that day, so I'll be enjoying the last [moon-viewing sake tonight] of the year while watching the almost full moon that peeked out early the night before. 🌕️🍶
We opened "Amami Shinshu Junmai Ginjo Nigori Nama".
First time drinking "Amami" at home!
This weekend, a cold wave hit and the moon, which showed its face for a short time, was gradually hidden by clouds and the weather forecast was for it to turn to snow after midnight 🌝🌨️
Now, let's start with the top
［The moon is in the sky.]
The cool and calm aroma of rice, the umami sweetness that flows smoothly through the mouth, the gas feeling on the tip of the tongue, the sweet aroma that passes through the nose and finishes with a lingering bitterness and a nice long aftertaste.
［Seasonal cup]
A cool rice aroma, a feeling of gas on the tip of the tongue, permeable umami sweetness, and a pleasantly sweet finish after the bitterness is felt.
When nigori is made by mixing orikori, the flavor becomes richer and the gaseous sensation becomes stronger, but the lingering aftertaste becomes shallower 🤔.
As the temperature rises, the flavor changes even more richly 😁.
The entrée is a cold weather delicacy [cold yellowtail belly sashimi] and the impending expiration date [horse sashimi].
The fatty cold yellowtail is still delicious 😋.
I took a peek outside after dawn, and it seems it didn't rain as much as I thought it would ☃.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Moonshine with a brief full moon is quintessential 🌕️
It looks like a good balance with the nigori bitterness of Amami and would go well with your meal 🎵.
Quintessential Amami ✨.
The fatty cold yellowtail looks delicious too😊.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Congratulations to Amami on her first home drink ㊗️🎉!
Amazing thick slices of cold yellowtail sashimi‼️ this is going to make me want to drink more sake🍶😙I'll have to eat the horse sashimi as soon as possible😅.
Good morning, ma-ki.
It gets dark early these days, so I decided to take a chance before the clouds came out 😁.
Amami has changed with a new master brewer, but it's still as delicious as ever ✨.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
Finally got to sit down and enjoy some "Amami" at home 😁.
Fukui's cold yellowtail is of such good quality that it was sold under false pretenses of its place of origin when the catch in Himi, its home at one time, dropped 🤣.
Hi Jive 🐦.
Well, I think I saw a very beautiful moon in the morning 🤔Winter often has clouds over there 😢 but you are still a great tsukimi sake ✨and congratulations on your first home drinking Tenmei 🎉!
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
The cooler temperatures and cleaner air make winter astronomy more attractive than summer 😁.
It's truly a "winter moon", but the first snowfall is our priority, so we toasted with "Yukiten"✨.
Ten days have passed since the beginning of December, and there are only three weeks left in this year. 😮💨
Now, looking around the cellar, there are some sakes that I have been waiting for the right moment to drink, but I realized that I have put them away for a long time, so I decided to drink them while they are still available.
Abe Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake
I bought it in early spring and it has been sitting in the cellar for a long time, but it was originally bottled last October, so it has been sitting there for a whole year 🤣.
［Gugumi-nomi.]
Aroma of sweet and mellow rice, strong gassy feeling at the mouth, strong sweetness of rice, deep, long and pleasant aftertaste, and sweet aroma that escapes through the nose at the end.
Trip time: 40 seconds
［Mokkiri]
Cool and sweet rice aroma, strong gassy sensation on the tongue, followed by a long and pleasant aftertaste with a strong sweetness, and a sweet aroma lingering at the end.
Trip time: 26 seconds
The entrée was locally caught sashimi of round horse mackerel and sashizaki-zakari (sashimi).
The 4th picture is the top of the local mountain [Mt. Hino] has turned white or 🏔️ the lower part of the mountain still has autumn leaves!
［Hinoyama is also known as Echizen Fuji in the Echizen City area of Fukui Prefecture, where Murasaki Shikibu lived away from Kyoto for the only time in her life.
Hi, Gyve-san.
It's been a while since I've had an abe-san: ⤴️
I'm delusional that this sake has a strong rice flavor sweetness 🤤.
It's beautiful when the top is white ✨.
When I think of mountains in Fukui Prefecture, I think of Jam Katsuyama ⛷️
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Here was our first abechan 🩶.
Looking back to 2 years ago, it was sweet and sour dry 🤔It will be interesting to drink it again to see how I feel about it now 😋The Otokoyama mountain that I can see on my way to work is completely covered with snow 😌.
Good evening, Jive 🦉.
The year will be over in the blink of an eye💦the mountains are covered with snow✨I wonder if I'm ready for New Year's 😅.
I like to drink at abe's house 😻I want to enjoy the afterglow slowly with a gulp of sake😊.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Now I've digested all the "abe" I bought in a batch of 7 bottles in early spring 😁.
Do you do winter sports? 🏂️
The Hakusan mountain range where Jam Katsuyama is located is getting much whiter ☃.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀.
I think the mild sweetness of the shwashwa came to the forefront, probably due to the fact that the raw sake was laid down for over a year 😁.
I'm currently planning to re-evaluate the sake I drank in the past too ✨
Hi Pon, ☀☀☀☀.
It's bad because I haven't made any progress at all in preparing for the end of the year 😅.
I recommend you to take your time to compare the drinks 😁 because the impression of this also changes quite a bit with the sake cups.
It's a shame that the locals haven't realized the charm of "abe" yet
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 🌛.
The sweetness and the strong gassiness were unbearable 😁.
I think back on all the different drinks I've had in the past year ✨.
