Reminiscence of one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo
We stopped by Sakeiki Daigo on our one-day trip to Kanazawa on June 19, 2011 and drank a lot more than just "Iraka".
After "Iraka", I ordered this second sake, which was just about to be released 🍶.
Nabeshima Summer Moon Ginjo
The aroma is like a soft apple with honey, the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, the sweetness is clean but still tasty, and the finish is refreshing and sweet, like a spud.
This is one of my favorites.
I was so happy to be able to drink this following the "Blossoms Moon" we had in the spring ✨.
Reminiscence of one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Oyabu] Part 2
After ordering "Jyushidai", "Kahayo" and premium sake, I found "sake with a reason" and "brand unknown" on the sake list, so I ordered them.
Yamahai Akirika.
A slightly heavy aroma like Yamahai, a clean flavor, a soft and refreshing aroma and a refreshing sharpness like Yamahai.
It would go well with fish from Kanazawa 😋.
We also had soba noodles to finish 🥰.
Hi Jive 😃
I admire you for being able to go to Kanazawa on a day trip and enjoy a good drink....you have no waste of time in your daily routine 🥰.
By the way, what was the reason for the fall deer?
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I'm here in Kanazawa, which is only 45 minutes away by the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension, so I can now enjoy a quick drink.
［I was going to ask her the reason for the "special reason", but she refrained because it was a busy lunch time.
Reminiscences of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Oyabu
I'll be posting a brief stock of things for a while from here: ✒️
We stopped by Oyabu for lunch during our one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa on June 19, 2011.
I ordered "Jyushiyo" for my first drink, and this is what I chose for my second drink!
Hana-yoso Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu.
Sweet aroma like a tropical fruit, sweet umami like a fresh pineapple, and a slightly bitter taste on the nose with a sweet aftertaste.
We ordered the head of the oyakodon, which Oyabu recommends as much as the soba noodles!
The savory flavor of the brand-name chicken roasted over charcoal matches the salty taste of the Warishita (soy sauce), and the rice goes down a treat when ordered in a bowl.
Recently, they are planning to open a restaurant specializing in oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl). ✨️
I was surprised by the sudden tsunami warning last morning, but relieved that there was no major damage to Japan.
I am keenly aware of the importance of daily disaster prevention awareness 😓.
Now, I'm in the spirit of drinking when I can, so let's have a drink 🍶.
Kitaan Okuni Midsummer Midwinter Sake - Snow Storage Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Get it as an option in the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai (✨️). This one is completely new to me 💡.
This is a challenging bottle of freshly pressed, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made in the winter and bottled and stored in the snow!
［Even in the heyday of "light and dry" sake, if you continue to make "mellow sweet" sake, someone will take a shine to it.
I can feel the confidence of the brewery that if they continue to make this sake, someone will be attracted to it, and that person will continue to buy "Kitaan Okuni".
［Glass.]
The aroma of rice is slightly banana-like, the mouthfeel is mellow with a gentle umami and banana-like richness, and then it finishes with a pleasantly long aftertaste and a sour bitterness.
［Mokkiri.]
The rice aroma is reminiscent of bananas, and the mouthfeel is soft with a strong acidity that finishes with a gentle aftertaste and a sweet and sour taste that lingers on the palate.
The sweetness and umami are in contrast to the "Ding" opened the other day, but there are similarities in the clean taste 🤔.
Both served with local seafood [Seared Spanish Mackerel] and [Sashimi of Black Sea Bream] 😋.
For the fourth one, I went to Yamaoka for the limited-time-only Burnt Soy Sauce Ramen (🍜).
However, I wasn't into it as much as I thought I would be, so I went back later for the "Special Miso Ramen" to cleanse my palate 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Jive!
Your Nagano sake looks delicious tonight 😋.
I've never seen it in person either, so I'm very curious 🎵
You are energetic in your sake activities as well as your rah-rah activities 🍜.
Hi Gyve 😃
I didn't know about this drink ‼️ it looks delicious, rich and sharp like bananas 😊I can't wait to try it as the limited time offer was recently changed to Stamina Soy Sauce Hormone 🍜.
Hi Jive 😃.
Mid-summer and mid-winter sake, what a fun contrast 😀 The label is playful too ❣️ banana🍌 feeling, I haven't had a drink lately 😍 I haven't had ramen🍜 either.
Hello, Mr. Nochi!
I tend to lack salt during hot weather when working on site from early in the morning until late at night, so after a hard day's work, a glass of YAMAOKA-KA is a special treat 🍜.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I was curious about this sake brewery because it was new to me too, but this one was also one of Nagano's great nature 🍶.
I've been having ramen fever for a while, but now it's rekindled 🤣.
Hi Manachie!
I guess I wasn't feeling well, but I finished before I had a chance to try the "Burnt Soy Sauce" 😓.
I'm looking forward to the next one [Stamina Soy Sauce Ramen] 🥰.
Hello, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
There are still some breweries and brands that I don't know 🥰.
For me, it was the first bottle that I recognized the atmosphere of [banana], so it was a good indicator for the future 🍶[Stamina Motto Soy Sauce Ramen] Drunken, isn't it?
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It's a maturing method that can only be done in a region with deep snow 🥰.
It's a winter sake on the inside, but the label has a summery feel to it, which is very seasonal and intoxicating. ✨️
［I'm rekindling my ramen fever thanks to Sake-no-wa 🤣.
Praying for the safety of those who are in the warning areas and in all concerned areas who are busy responding to the tsunami warning issued this morning. ✨️
The busy summer season has been jam-packed with on-site work every weekend since the election of the House of Councillors 🌞.
The second site was successfully completed on the 26th, but we worked much longer hours than planned and were exhausted when it was over 😵.
In order to heal my tired body and get energized for the next site, I'll open a bottle of seasonal summer sake and have a drink 🍶.
Ding Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Oorigarami
First time drinking at home
I finally discovered it in June at Shusenan Mizukami in Kanazawa (✴️).
It's been over a year since I gave up buying it on my trip to Shinshu last year.
［Glass.]
The aroma of sweet rice, similar to that of ramune, the taste is refreshingly sweet and umami, as if you can feel a cool breeze blowing across your mouth, and then it finishes with a refreshingly sweet aftertaste and a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma of rice is refreshing and sweet, similar to that of ramune, and the mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a full-bodied sweet umami flavor, followed by the same refreshing finish and a refreshing aftertaste.
The refreshing sweetness is perfect for this season, and can be drunk at night after sweating it out during the day, or while BBQing in the afternoon.
The entrée is the customary [yakitori from Yuben Akiyoshi].
The fourth one is a slightly full moon from the new moon that I found when I was looking at the evening view on July 28th.
This one makes me want to drink "Koei Kiku" 🤣.
Hi Jive 😃Good job ❣️
Kanae 🤍Jive you make it look so cute when you say it 😍It looks like a summer sake, crisp and delicious 🌻Yumari-tsuki makes me want to drink Koei Kiku... 🧐I need to learn how to do that 😅
Hi Jive, good evening.
Beautiful sunset - I was so taken by the sight of it, but the main course was Yubari Getsu✨.
I was impressed by the aroma of rice in the Ding-san, but since it is a summer sake, it seems to be very refreshing and very easy to drink 😋.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
The tsunami warning was a surprise 😟.
Congratulations Kanae on your first drink at home ㊗️ 🎉We felt it was too subtle for our first drink at home 🥲We'd like to try it again!
Good morning Mr. Jive 😊
Ding-chan purchased first time home drinker ㊗️ 😍
I was on a trip to Shinshu too and didn't have enough time to buy it 😭
With Akiyoshi's yakitori 😍 sounds delicious.
I wonder what time I'll see you Kanae 😅.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
You are working as hard as ever 💦 hope you are not too tired as it is very hot 🙏.
Congratulations on your first Kanae 🎉This is delicious 🎉I hope you can find a store in Kansai that carries it ❣️😊.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The typeface of "鼎" also looks somewhat like a person, which gives me a strong [Kanae-chan] feeling 🤣.
Maybe it's so imprinted that crescent moon = "Koei Chrysanthemum Snow Crescent" ✨️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
The refreshing sweetness is comforting and intoxicating, perfect for a hot night 🥰.
The problem is that there are only a few special stores 🤔.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
That was a surprise 😲.
And it switched from a warning to an alert, which made it all the more critical 😓.
The refreshing sweetness is addicting this season 🥰.
Good evening, Ao-chan 🌛.
I was so excited that I will be drunk with "Ding" as a must from now on 🥰.
I heard that there are only 13 special stores in Japan, so it might be hard to find one 😓.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I work outside a lot in the field in the summer, and I sweat a lot every day, so a cup of sake after work is especially good for me.
I think it will suit your palate as it has a strong sweet taste. ✨️
I was making adjustments for the last quadruple post, so please bear with me as I will be posting a mix of stock and real-time for a while 😓.
I had a drink with him just before his birthday 🍶.
Oosawawa Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025
The Furuya Brewery, which brews the "Wawa Wawa" that Jay & Nobby and others were drinking before, suffered a fire at the end of last year that destroyed the brewery and their home.
First of all, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies 🛐.
The sake rice that survived the fire was used by the Osawa Brewery, which brews "Meikyojosui" in the same area, and the result is this "Osawa Wawa"!
［A glass.]
The aroma of mellow, green-apple-like rice, the fresh umami that flows smoothly into the mouth, and then the sharp finish with a soft aftertaste and a firm bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue and in the back of the throat.
［Mokkiri.]
Aroma of rice like green apples, soft and fruity sweetness, umami, and underlying bitterness, followed by a soft aftertaste and lingering bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue and the back of the throat.
As the temperature rises, the bitterness lessens and the umami increases.
Local horse mackerel sashimi and Ishikawa Hiramasa sashimi.
May we once again brew a sake with the wish that people will be relaxed and at peace with the spirit of harmony ✨.
The fourth one celebrated his birthday and the first thing he celebrated was a smartwatch ⌚.
［It seems that Furuya Brewery has resumed sake brewing with Kurosawa Brewery in the same area as Osawa Brewery🥰.
Hi Jive 😃.
Wawa Wawa, it has a very good meaning 🥰 I learned a lot about the human spirit from ☺️ sake.
Congratulations are nice to hear from people, of course, but also from your partner who is always with you under your skin 🥹.
Hi Jive 😃I didn't know about Furuya Sake Brewery, but I am relieved to hear that they have resumed brewing 😊 I guess the harmonious and harmonious thoughts of Wa Wa Wa Wa are also weaving the spirit of helping each other like that. The topic of your birthday made me giggle 🤭.
Hi Jive 🐦.
New wow? I thought it was because it was made at Osawa Sake Brewery ✨I'm glad it was made and reopened 😊I hope the sake brewing will continue forever 🙏.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve!
I'm glad to hear that you were able to resume sake brewing with the help of other breweries even though you're going through some difficulties ✨.
I have the impression that the sake looks very drinkable and delicious 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
I had no idea that the "Wawa" brewery was in such a mess. I hope it will be restored as soon as possible, but I am impressed by the way the brewery comrades are reaching out and cooperating with each other.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
We ourselves bought it by accident in Nagano, and when we drank it, we were pleasantly surprised by its taste Wawa-san ☺️ We were heartbroken by the news of the fire at the end of last year, but it's great to see the sake brewing community helping each other 🥹We also pray for the revival of the brewery😌.
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I didn't realize the wish behind the inscription until I saw the etiquette on the back, but I hope you will brew this kind feeling again too 🥰.
I'm a partner who often gets submerged in water due to perspiration, so it's also charming that you lost the data 🤣.
Hello, Mr. Wakata!
I just happened to learn the news through an online article, and then I learned the details and current situation through a regular mail of [hanpukai].
I really hope you can bring back the original "Wawa Wawa" ✨️
Hi Pon-chan, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
According to the article I read, the brewery was in such shock for 3 months after the fire that they could not think of anything, but with the help of the originally strong horizontal ties within the community, they are gradually showing signs of recovery: ✨️
Hi ma-ki-san!
It seems that the spirit of mutual help in the community is so strong that sake breweries have been sharing rice with each other for a long time, and the breweries are trying to continue sake making in any way possible instead of going out of business.
Hello, Mr. Noodle Drink King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
We both have different angles, but this kind of news makes me think a lot 🤔.
When I see people who have suffered hardship trying to stand up again, I want to give my support and assistance from what I can do: ✨️
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I've been thinking about you ever since that post, and I couldn't hide my surprise at the news.
Some of the recent news about the re-launch was also very encouraging, so I'd like to support you by buying something closer to the original next time ✨️
600CI commemorative post on the occasion of my birthday and the anniversary of my first year 🎉
The triple anniversary of my birthday, the anniversary of my first year, and reaching the "Quadruple" number is the same situation as when I started Sakegawa and celebrated my first year anniversary.
Hakudakesen Gin-no-sato Jyuwari-brewed Aged Junmai Daiginjo GAKU
The second high-end model of Hakugakusen, which was newly released at the end of last year. I was aiming for the original "Miku Raichi", but I got this one, saving it for the next time.
［Glass.]
Aroma of mellow, deep and clean rice, a clear umami, a sigh of beauty from the acidity, and a deep aftertaste that makes you take a couple of deep breaths.
Trip time: 29 seconds
［Mokkiri]
Aroma of mellow rice with a slight herbaceous accent, clear mouthfeel with a slightly juicy umami, beautifully acidic finish, and a deep and pleasant aftertaste as if you are peering into an abyss.
Trip time: 25 seconds
A bottle that can be drunk with a meal, but is best enjoyed simply with sake.
After finishing the first saké, you will feel a sense of relaxation as if you are relaxed after drinking the soothing water.
The 4th picture is a birthday cake my wife bought for me 🍰.
At first I said I wanted to get her a present [sake sold at Chateraise], but then she said she wanted a cake from Chateraise 🤣.
It's delicious, so it's all good 🥰.
Congratulations on everything, Jive㊗️🎊🎉🎉🎉!
The best for Kiriban, Hakugakusen ❗️ also a great bottle, box and picture 🤩I felt your love for Hakugakusen ❤️ 🥰The cake episode was also very heartwarming 😌Continue to enjoy your sake life 😄!
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Congratulations on reaching the unprecedented quadruple 🎉🎉Congratulations on the awesome sake 👍By the way, I see you have sake at Chateraise! I was curious about that too ✨Have a great year 🍶.
Good morning, Jive 😀.
Congratulations on your quadruple celebration sake, including Kiri number: ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️🎉🎊
Actually, this is the first time I've seen Hakugaku Sen sake, but I could tell from your comment that it's a great sake 😀.
I'd like to taste it once 😇
Good morning, Jive 😊.
Congratulations on your birthday, anniversary and 600 check-ins: 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I knew it, it's Hakugaku Sen 🥰.
But still, he's a great guy (I've never seen him drink before) 😱.
Good morning, Mr. Gyve ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
600 CI, birthday, anniversary, +500 CI.
Congratulations!
㊗️🍾🎊🎂
I didn't know you could also buy alcohol at Chateraise.
I didn't know that.
Please keep on mastering sake!
Good morning, Jive!
Congratulations on your birthday & anniversary & 600 check-ins🎉!
Solid milestone sake at Hakudakesen - you have presence 😲.
Celebrating with a cake is a wonderful sight ✨!
Have a great drinking season 🤗!
Good morning, Jive ✅✨!
㊗️Birthday 🎂 & Anniversary & 600 check-ins ✅✨
Congratulations 🥳🎉🎊!
That's great with your quintessential Hakudakesen 🍶😊.
I'd love to drink it 🥹✨I can feel your Fukui love ❤️ ❣️
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Happy Birthday and happy 600 check-in ㊗️🎊 and the bottle of alcohol is as cool as you are Jive 🤩 and the cake from your family is wonderful 💓 I wish you another great year ✨.
Jive, happy birthday and 600 check-in, happy 3rd anniversary ㊗️🎉I enjoyed with you imagining in my brain the supreme aged sake of Hakudakesen, the wonderful taste of sighing 😊Chateraise 🎂 also looks delicious!
Mr. Jive. Hello 😊
I know I'm a day late, but HAPPY Birthday🎂 & congratulations on your 600 check-ins🎉🎉!
Furthermore, gorgeous Hakudakesen 🍶I didn't know there was such a thing 😆 The review looks good too: ❕️
Congratulations to Gyve on your birthday, 3rd anniversary, and 600 check-ins 🎉🎊
I'm planning to have a drink one day after seeing Gyve's post about Hakudakeyama ⛰️ Looks delicious this time too!
Jive, happy birthday, 600 check-ins and 3rd anniversary 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎂🎊🎊!
Even the wrapping paper is nice and nice to celebrate with good drinks, I feel the love of Hakudakesen & local love 💕Birthday is a cake 😂.
Jive 🎂 & congratulations on your 600 CI 🎉!
So the time has come for Hakudakesen to use Yame's sake rice Gin-no-sato, which is resistant to high temperature disorders 😌.
I think it will eventually replace Yamada Nishiki as the sake rice for Daiginjo 🤔.
Gyve Happy Birthday & 600ci & 3rd Anniversary 🎂🎊
I looked up GAKU and was surprised at the price😳
But it's a drink worthy of a triple 🤗.
I've been curious about Chateraise but haven't been able to visit 💦.
Hi Jive 😃.
Cool GAKU: Congratulations on your three rounds, six hundred posts, birthday celebration and many more ㊗️ in Hakudakesen 🎉I would love to feel comfortable and relaxed 😌 😚.
Let's work hard on each other's accumulated posts😅.
Hi Jive ☀☀ 😀 Happy Birthday + Anniversary + 600 check-ins 🎉🎉🎉The Kiridan in Hakudakesen, a local liquor, is quintessential 🥳👍and a fine one I've never seen before 😋.
Hi Jive, good evening 🌔.
Congratulations on your birthday & anniversary & 600 check-ins: ㊗️㊗️㊗️
A milestone sake at the high-end Hakugakusen, quintessential 👍I'm hooked from my trip to Fukui, but it's a sake I can only get locally and can't afford 🤣.
Happy triple anniversary, Gyve 🎉🎂🎂.
Thanks to this milestone "Hakugaku Sen" ‼️ Gyave, I was happy to finally drink it too 😋!
Please keep up the good communication 🙇🙇.
Good evening, Gyve 🌙.
Congratulations on your belated anniversary and your birthday and your kilometer mark ‼️🎊㊗️✨!
I've never seen this Hakudakesen before 👀I'd love to taste the relaxing, relaxing feeling 🥳.
Keep up the good drinking 👍
Thank you for your comment, Hiro 🙇.
As a matter of fact, I was about to start the last one to complete "Hakugakusen", but it was a new release with 500 CI, so I had to wait for half a year 🤣.
Thanks for your comment, ichiro18 🙇.
I've stacked it so far, but 5 layers is tough 🤣.
Chateraise bought the rights to "Hakuba Nishiki" a while ago and is developing a line of sake buns and sake products 🥰.
Thanks for your comment, Yasbay 🙇.
It's my own sake guess, but I haven't brought it to any offline meetings, so it's a reflection on me 😓.
I will bring it when I get the chance 🥰.
Thanks for your comment, Takashi 🙇.
I guess we have to go with "Hakugakusen" after all 🤣.
I think there are only a few sold, but the price is high, so the pattern is inversely proportional to the number of locals remaining ✨.
10ZG-STQ, thanks for your comment 🙇.
Chateraise has been selling wine for a while and recently bought the rights to Hakuba Nishiki and started selling sake around last year✨.
Please check them out 🥰.
Thank you for your comment, Manachie 🙇.
As a Hakugaku Sen lover, I have no regrets.
I think the lingering drunkenness is the selling point of "Hakugaku Sen"✨.
Thank you for your comment, Kyuzo 🙇.
There are two types of Hakuba Nishiki sold at Chateraise, including a limited time offer, so if you find one, please give it a try 🤣.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-.
I'm planning to post a commemorative post with "Shiratakesen" until 1000CI, so please stay tuned 🤣.
Chateraise is a friend of the common man ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Muro 🙇.
I will continue to promote "Hakugakusen" in the spirit of "If you are drunk at the end of the day, you are drunk at the end of the day" 🤣.
If you contact us, we will send you "Hakugakusen" right away✨.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
Personally, I am someone for whom white does not suit me, but I hope to be able to convey through Sake-no-wa what Yasumoto Sake Brewery has put into GAKU ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Kozo🙇.
It seems to have been named after [嶽=GAKU], a lord of the Meiji Restoration [Matsudaira Harutake] who represented Fukui at the end of the Edo period🥰.
Thank you @Mizuhashi for your comment 🙇.
I've come this far thinking that I have to buy and drink all the products as long as I make it my guess 🥰.
Two more specs to aim for✨
Thank you for your comment, Hirupeko 🙇.
It was a new release, but I've never had such a clear "Hakugaku Sen" with no clutter and I was completely immersed in it 🥰.
I love Chateraise's Japanese sweets, but their cakes are delicious!
Thank you for your comment, Minosuke 🙇.
This is the newest Hakudakesen product, but it's also the second one we've posted here at Sake-no-wa because of its price 😓.
I just wish you could experience this immersive aftertaste once ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Pon-chan 🙇.
The wrapping of the sake is made of "Habutae" (a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth) with Fukui Castle, which is associated with Lord Shungetake, painted on the wrapping.
The stone wall of Fukui Castle is the foundation of the current Fukui Prefectural Office ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Matsuchiyo-san 🙇.
Yasumoto Shuzo, the brewer of Hakudakesen, is one of the first brewers in the prefecture to brew with Gin no Sato, so maybe it suits your taste buds 🤔.
［The specs for Gin no Sato are very high 🥰.
Thank you for your comment, Termat 🙇.
We went with "Hakugakusen" as our first choice here 🥰.
Once I'm done with "Hakugakusen", I'll dig deeper into other brands in the prefecture ✨.
Thank you for your comment, bouken🙇.
This was my first price range myself, but I was surprised to learn of the existence of "Akabu Soul's Great Work" and that there is a local brewery that offers such a product lineup 🤣.
Thank you for your comment, King of Noodle Wine 🙇.
I always feel that I have a deep connection with you 🥰.
I'd love to have a drink with you when I get the chance ✨.
Thanks for your comment, Kotaro 🙇.
I opened the bottle thinking that there is such an expensive "Hakugaku Sen" 🥰.
I recommend the lingering aftertaste to relax your shoulders ✨.
Gyve, congratulations on your 500 & 600 check-ins, anniversary and birthday quadruple congratulations: ㊗️🎉🎊🎂🎂
The design and the comments are truly luxurious and the celebration with a drink to mark the occasion is wonderful 🍶☺️
Gyve, congratulations on your birthday, anniversary, and the "Kiri Number" 🎉Happy birthday, anniversary, and the "Kiri Number" in Hakudakesen, just like Gyve who loves his hometown so much 😄It is a perfect commemoration with a sake that is too good to finish 😊.
Thanks for your comment, Aladdin 🙇.
I was curious about the new spec "GAKU" so I opened it in the interest of a commemorative post 🥰.
I'm one step closer to complete "Hakugaku Sen" 🤣.
Thank you for your comment, Nemuchi 🙇.
I've been missing the right time to promote Hakugaku Sen lately, so I'd like to make the right decision here 🥰.
I'm not used to drinking this class of sake and always want to keep it fresh ✨.
［The June issue of the "Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai" had not yet been opened, so I had to drink it before the July issue arrives.
I'm going to drink it before the July delivery arrives, so I'll be sipping it tonight 🍶.
［When I heard the name "Hokko", my first image was "the North Star", but the correct answer is "the Big Dipper" as written on the label: ✴️
By the way, "Hokko" is also a word for "aurora borealis" 🤔.
［Glass.]
The aroma of rice that slightly resembles pear, the soft mouthfeel, then the dry sharpness with firm umami, and finally the soft fruity aroma, the bitterness at the back of the throat, and the smooth minerality on the tip of the tongue...
［Mokkiri]
Aroma of rice with a mineral flavor, smooth flavor and a crisp, dry finish, with a lingering bitterness and a clear minerality on the tip of the tongue.
The balance is something I have never experienced before, and the sudden change in flavor between the attack and the middle is very interesting.
The round flavor is pleasant as the temperature rises.
I accompanied my wife to a fish shop a short distance away to look for a bite to eat 🚙.
Tonight we had sashimi of local landings [flatfish] and Wakayama [tuna] 🐟️
It has a dry sharp taste and goes well with tuna sashimi 🥰.
Nice Masamune 👍️
The fourth one is a Sapporo Beer 🍺 that was sold exclusively at Family Mart.
［I bought it thinking it would be like Sapporo Classic, but it seemed a little dry to me.
Personally, I wasn't into it 🤔.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
Are you so busy that you can't keep up with the distribution anymore😅.
Sake hanpukai sounds like a great way to meet new people 🎵
I have the impression that it's a bit dry this time ✨, then it would be a great match with sashimi 🤤.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
So it's not the moon today, it's the stars ✨.
North light is the Big Dipper, I'm learning 📚.
Both the moon and the stars are shining in the night sky, it's a mystical night party 🥰I hope the rainy season will be over soon and we will have more beautiful night skies 💕.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
Nice Masamune in the hanpukai👍.
I would like to join the hanpukai once but it's sold out when I tried to sign up... 🥲I'm jealous that you enjoy meeting new sakes 🤣.
Hi Jive 🐦.
I don't know this brand or brewery 😳 As expected of Hanpukai! There are so many sake in Shinshu 😊.
Your sashimi looks delicious and makes me want to eat it😻
Hi Gyve 😃
It's Aurora Masamune. ‼️ If you make the label with aurora design, it could be popular in Scandinavia 😊.
I imagine Masamune type goes well with sashimi 😋.
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
I've been opening sake for tsukimi-sake and other sake that I bought and wanted to drink later, and I'm late to open the hanpukai sake and the next one almost arrives 😓.
It had a gorgeous attack and a light dry sharpness 🥰.
Hello, HinaHanaMama!
I was wondering if I should open it on the "new moon 🌑" when there are no stars in the sky, but it was a brand I had never heard of before, so I opened it out of curiosity 🥰.
Fukui finally ended the rainy season today ⛱️
Hi Hiro!
I also receive sake that I don't know about, so the hanpukai is quite interesting ✨
I'm applying for the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, which is available around the end of the year, so if you're interested in Shinshu sake, I recommend it 🥰.
Hi Pon, ☀☀☀☀.
I was impressed myself when I received it [such a great brand of sake and brewery] ✨.
It's a bit far, but the sashimi, fried fish, and other prepared foods at this fish shop are also quite good, and I happily follow my wife shopping 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀.
I see, it's interesting to draw the Big Dipper floating in the aurora and export it 🥰.
This fish shop has delicious local fish, but the color of the tuna is quite beautiful and delicious, so it goes well with dry sake!
July 11 was the full moon of July [buck moon 🦌🌛]. "Buck" refers to a stag, and its horns grow back at this time of year. On that day, I was lying on the futon with my daughter watching the moon peeking through the clouds and the orange-tinged moon [oil moon].
Now, let's go have a moon-viewing party with the moon on the following day: 🌕️🍶
Nagurayama Tsukiyumi Winter Limited Brewing Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu Junmai-shu.
I saw a review of "Tsukiyumi" by Matsuchiyo and fell in love with the label.
The full moon is intoxicating, but I also like to watch the faint crescent moon when it is fully squeezed 🥰.

Sweet and fruity aroma of rice, juicy flavor and sweetness with a good mouthfeel, and a slight bitterness behind the fresh sweetness that lingers on the palate with a gentle aftertaste.
［Mokkiri]
Sweet rice aroma, fresh flavor and sweetness on the palate, followed by a gentle kick and a pleasantly intoxicating, mild aftertaste.
The entrée is aji-sashi (horse mackerel sashimi) from Echizen, seared swordfish from Chiba, and chilled tofu with raayu (Chinese red chili oil).
The sweetness of this dish is very strong, so it goes very well with the slightly spicy "chilled tofu with chilled chili oil" and the salty "seared swordfish".
By the way, the other day I read a newspaper and found a difficult to read surname, Mikazuki (朏魄 = Mikazuki) 🤣.
The fourth one is the moon as seen while drinking on the 12th, the day after the full moon: 🌕️
The orange-tinged hue of the moon as it was just starting its ascent from the famous local mountain [Mt.
It's called an "oil moon" ✨, which appears orange when there is a lot of water vapor in the atmosphere, as I mentioned in my review.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
I love your tsukimi sake.
I know it was the next day, but your photos are beautiful too ✨.
I also like Nagurayama sake, but I've never actually seen Tsukuyumi, but I have the impression that it has a strong sweetness that I would like 🤤.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
The other day when we were walking together, we asked ourselves "what is a stag beetle in English?" I looked it up and found out that it is Stag Beetle and stag: a stag! You could also call it a Stag Beetle Moon 😄.
Good morning, ma-ki-.
The weather was not so good on the day of the full moon, but on the following day [16th night], the air was cleaner and we could see the beautiful moon 🥰.
The description on the label even describes it as [beautiful sweetness]!
Hi Jive 🐦.
I see that Nagurayama has a brand of the month 🌕️ I'm interested in Nagurayama and would like to try this one too 😊.
I didn't know CAPTAIN STAG meant that! I'm learning a lot about Sake no Wa...
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I see that you drank "Nagurayama" a while ago, and "Tsukiyumi" seems to have a sweet taste, so please try it 🥰.
［I've been reading your reviews on Sake-no-wa, and there's quite a lot of trivia in there ✨.
Last night was Tanabata night, but unfortunately the night sky in Fukui was cloudy and we could not see any stars.
My daughters brought home the Tanabata decorations they made at preschool, so we decorated them in our rooms and looked at the night sky together before bedtime, but we were a little disappointed with the disappointing result 😞.
Now that the kids are in bed, let's have a drink tonight too 🍶.
Kikusui Junmai Ginjo
［I was wondering why I haven't seen any sake from Kikusui Brewery since "Saruko-no-Sen Alkuma Cup", but I guess they are a new brand that started in April this year.
［Glass.]
Slightly melon-like fruity aroma, juicy sweetness first, then gently fades, with a sweet aftertaste.
［Mokkiri]
A slightly sweet fruity aroma of rice, juicy and juicy, with a sweet taste that starts with umami and finishes with a gentle sweetness, followed by a pleasantly sweet aftertaste and a slight bitterness that lingers on the palate.
This is my favorite type of sake.
It has a juiciness similar to "Shinshu Kamerei" and "Yamazan" and a lingering aroma reminiscent of apples that you can feel as you get used to drinking it.
I tried it with grilled ribs because Iida City, where the brewery is located, is famous for its yakiniku (grilled meat), and also with Fukui's sauced pork cutlet because it is said that the city is also famous for its sauced pork cutlet bowls 🤣.
Hi Gyve, good evening.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing weather last night💦.
First time here, but the level of Nagano sake is really high 😲.
I'm intrigued because juicy sweet and tasty is my favorite 🤤.
Hi Jive, good evening 🌙
Sorry about the weather 🥲I hope you and your daughters can see the Milky Way next year 🌌✨.
And here's a juicy and juicy ⁉️ like Shinshu Kamerei and Yamasan 😆.
Good evening, Jive-san😄What kind of wishes did your daughter write on her tanzaku🎋 last night? 💕My daughter had a time like that too☺️I'm sure this is the cutest time for her❣️I'm curious to know that your sake is similar to Yamasan🤩.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
We never got to look up at the stars in the sky on Tanabata 🎋 or... do anything 😅I saw you all drinking together and I thought it's necessary to cherish these days 😌 even though I'm sure I'll forget 😆.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
This is a commercial product that arrived as an option in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, so it is sold to the general public, but there are very few reviews on sakewa 🤔.
It's a new product, so I'm hoping to come across it!
Good evening, Kotaro-san 🌛.
It's a long rainy season in Hokuriku, so it's not easy to see the starry sky of Tanabata 😓.
It was one of the best shocks I drank this year, so if you find it, please try it 🥰.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
My cash-strapped eldest daughter wrote [I want to meet my favorite character] and my second daughter, who loves to sing, wrote [I want to be good at singing] 🥰.
I want to cherish the fact that they hold my hand honestly because it's now ✨
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I'm sure this is a possibility that everyone has their own reasons for drinking alcohol 🤣.
［The most common reason is that many drinks are associated with festivals, but I think it is one of the items that celebrate festivals.
As I mentioned last time, I am fed up with the heat this year.
This year, we will have a rush of summer field work from July 20 when the House of Councillors election is held, so it is essential to take countermeasures 🤔.
Well, it was supposed to be a rest day, but after sweating so much during the day and taking a bath, I couldn't stop craving for beer 🍺, so I drank a bottle and couldn't stop.
Yuki no Mayu Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu.
This is the first time I've had this since the rebranding 🔰.
Soft rice aroma, a tangy gas feeling on the tip of the tongue, soft fruity sweetness and acidity, mild sharpness, and a sweet aftertaste on the nose at the end.
Serve lightly with chilled tofu, the creamy sweetness of the tofu and the fruity sweetness that is integrated with the sweetness of the tofu go well together 😋.
Naeba, where the sake brewery is located, is the site of one of Japan's three major festivals, the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL.
I would love to go there someday, but I haven't had the chance, so this year I plan to attend the Rokuroshi Starry Music Festival, which will be held for the first time in my hometown🎶.
The fourth one is a seasonal treat 🍛.
［The fourth one is a limited-time menu item from Curry Gates Dandada: Pork Keema Curry with Fried Eggplant and Japanese Kiri Sansho (Japanese pepper).
The spicy, refreshing, and slightly sweet sansho (Japanese pepper) accents make this a delicious dish 😋.
Good morning, Mr. Jive!
Thank you very much for working on the site in sauna conditions🍀.
After sweating it out, Yukinomayu-san can drink beer with gulps of it and it's the best sinking in 😋.
This curry looks super tasty too 🤤.
Jive-san‼️The rainy season is over and summer is in full swing🥵It's really hard to work when it's just so hot🥵Thank you so much for your hard work🩷I was curious about Yuki no Mayu😍It looks as delicious as the atmosphere😍The curry looks delicious too😋‼️
Good morning, Jive 😃.
It's been hot every day, hard to work outside 😰.
Curry may be the cure all for fatigue ❗️ Let's eat curry and drink good alcohol to get through this year👍
Yuki no mayu is the best 😘.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The heat is really nasty this year and I'm craving a beer at the end of the day 😓.
I keep fighting with my self-control because I'm about to break my rule to leave at least one day between drinks 🤔.
Hello, Pekho-san!
Actually, the end of the rainy season has not yet been declared for the Hokuriku region, I'm afraid of the summer season 😓.
When you are tired, curry and good drinks are the best 🥰.
Hi, HinaHanaMama!
I have a parade of outside work starting from the end of July, so I need to build up my energy now 🥰.
I feel like I can probably fix curry for lunch for the rest of my life 🤣.
This year is more difficult than last year because of the high temperature and high humidity😅.
I'm sweating so much when I'm working outside or doing hard work that I'm running out of water by the end of the day 🚰.
I felt that something is missing when it's this hard, so let's have a drink at "Kicchin Usagi" after a long time 🍶.
After a toast to greet our former regulars and to celebrate our July birthdays, I brought in this 🥂.
Hououmida BlackPhoenix Junmai Ginjo-shu Unrefined Hon Nama
Let's enjoy the marriage of "Usagi no Okami's excellent cuisine" and "Tochigi Ai🥰" overflowing sake, which we haven't had enough of lately ✨.
Aroma of mellow, melon-like sweet rice, sweet umami, and a firm mouthfeel, just like Aizan, followed by a sweet and pleasant aftertaste.
Houou Mida" and 🎵.
The sweetness and umami soaks into my body as I'm being battered by the heat 😙.
The fourth picture is a list of the dishes we ordered this time.
Maitake mushroom tempura
Chilled tofu with a variety of condiments
Small tomatoes soaked in plum wine and vinegar
Wakayama shirasu (baby sardines)
Kombujime sea bream and nameko sauce of horse mackerel
The owner's special somen noodles.
All the dishes were very tasty.
Good morning, Gyve 😃The heat is really strong this year! It feels like the heat is trying to kill us 💦.
I haven't had Houou Mida for a while, and when I looked at the menu, the tomatoes in plum wine and vinegar ⁉️ look delicious👍.
Good morning, Mr. Jive ☀☀☀☀.
It's hard to work outside 💦 Please be careful and don't dehydrate yourself ☺️ and stay well hydrated at night with Bida's ❣️ The proprietress's cooking has helped replenish your mind 🥰Fight today too 😉.
Good morning, Gyve!
You have to eat great food regularly or you'll have withdrawal symptoms 😁✨✨.
And sweet and tasty sake is so good for a tired body 😋.
Good food and sweet sake will recharge your body 🤗.
Hi Gyve 😃.
It's hard to work outside in this heat🥵💦thanks for your hard work😌.
［Not having enough [Tochigi love 🥰 & [excellent food] was a big pain 😓I'm glad you were able to replenish it well 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata!
Last year it was over 35 degrees Celsius and the sun was so bright that it hurt, but this year the air feels heavier and I'm feeling more tired 😓.
［The cherry tomatoes soaked in plum wine and vinegar are sweet and tart, perfect for a break from chopstick eating.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
You will be sweating so much that your clothes will be soaked, so it is a must to drink water and take in salt 🚰.
The feeling of alcohol soaking into your parched body is addictive, but I worry about the burden on your liver.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
Actually, I was supposed to go to [Rabbit] with a friend a while ago, but we had to cancel on short notice due to work 😙 I really wanted to come back for revenge.
My work is tight from the end of this month, so it's now or never!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
Please be careful as it seems to be prone to guerrilla downpours around [Utsunomiya] again this year ⛈.
It's been a while since I've had a good [Tochigi love 🥰] charge, so I won't let the heat get to me ✨.
Good evening everyone 🌛.
I finished last weekend's work safely, but there were some problems and I think I just barely made the grade 🤔.
I'll think about how to improve it before the next time, but first of all, let's have a drink and say thank you for the job well done 🍶.
Shinshu Kamerei Tozawa Hitogokochi Junmai Ginjyo (Unfiltered Nama Sake)
［I got this by lottery from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai. It was a precious "Shinshu Kamerei Nama Sake" and I was looking for a chance to drink it, but I got another "Shinshu Kamerei Nama Sake" by lottery from the same hanpukai, so I'll open it now 🍾.
［Glass.]
The aroma of rice is reminiscent of mellow apples, and the mouthfeel is full of gas, followed by a rich umami, sweetness, and a fresh sweet aftertaste.
［Mokkiri]
Fresh rice aroma, a slight gassy feeling as you swallow, followed by a rich umami, sweetness, and bitterness, then a fresh finish with a lingering freshness and bitterness at the back of the throat.
The rich umami and sweetness are typical of "Shinshu Kamerei", but it is so fresh, is this the performance of "Shinshu Kamerei no Nama-shu" 🤔.
For my entrée, I had takeout [Akiyoshi's Yakitori] which I roasted in hot water and [Smoked Fukui Salmon] which I bought last time and am addicted to.
The fourth picture is of the sea at Echizen-kaigan, which I visited on business.
The sea is very clear and the buoys are being set up before the opening of the sea.
There were many anglers at the end of the jetty.
Good evening, Mr. Jive!
After a hard day's work, I'm sure the fresh turtle must have had a good and refreshing sake time 😁✨.
And Akiyoshi's yakitori and smoked salmon 🤤.
Good sake and good snacks are the best 😋!
Good evening, Mr. Jive😄.
I'm glad last weekend's work ended well☺️Labor sake with raw 🐢🤩I like it, it looks delicious🤤🐢I've never had any luck with it 😭Echizen coast, the water is really beautiful 🌊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve😄.
Thank you for your work. Let's get healed in Shinshu Kamerei ☺️ and the beautiful sea will refresh your mind 🥰I want to go there for sightseeing and relax 🤩.
Hi Gyve 😀
It's nice to be able to drink fresh Shinshu Kamerei sake 😚👍✨Echizen coast🌊 is beautiful ✨✨✨I don't think I remember going here for squid fishing 🤔No, it was under the aquarium 🤣.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
I'm glad to hear that you finished your work successfully and opened a nice bottle of sake! I'm so jealous that you got to taste the raw sake ❣️ and you won 2 bottles! You are very lucky 😆👍✨
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
I wish I had two bottles of Shinshu Kamerei so I could open one without worry 🤗I wish my work could be like that too 😅I have to see the Echizen coast with my own eyes 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
I think it was especially intoxicating with the sake rice, since this 🐢san uses the water used to grow the sake rice as it is for the brewing water 🥰.
Now I can work hard on my next job✨
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
I also didn't think I would have the opportunity to get so much sake other than visiting a sake brewery, so I recommend the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 🥰.
I actually got the fire-brewed version of this sake too✨
Hi Hiro, good evening 🌛.
Shinshu Kamerei is always delicious and special 🥰.
Please let me know if you ever come to Fukui and I will take you to a great restaurant ✨.
Good evening, Maecin-san 🌛.
I didn't think I could get "Shinshu Kamerei no Nama Shu" either, so I stocked it, but I released it when the next one became available 🥰.
I know because there are a lot of people eging on the Echizen coast ✨.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I never thought I could get my second bottle of "Shinshu Kamerei no Nama Sake" myself, so I'm surprised at how lucky I've been this year 😅I'm afraid of the repercussions 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I actually got the fire-brewed version at the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai this time 🤣.
If Jay Nobby is here, let's have a drink at Echizen Kaigan 🥰.
I can hear the footsteps of the busy season 😅
I've been preemptively planning and working on 3 tasks at the same time, and I've lost my mind, so I'm going to have a glass of wine and regain my composure 🍶.
Wada Ryu Tosui Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course
［A glass.]
Slightly green apple-like? The aroma of rice is calm, the mouthfeel is smooth and tasty, and the taste is clean and soft, with a punchy alcohol taste and a strong bitterness at the end.
［Mokkiri.]
Soft and fruity aroma of rice, a refreshingly cool umami taste, and a soft aftertaste.
The fresh, soft, easy-drinking mouthfeel and lingering aftertaste are inversely proportional to the freshness and softness typical of Shinshu sake, and the rather punchy aftertaste is addictive.
As we could not get Shinshu salmon, we had smoked Fukui salmon and cold shabu-shabu (cold shabu-shabu).
The smoky flavor of the salmon and the cold shabu-shabu with two different sauces were both delicious and intoxicating 😋.
All right! Now that I'm feeling better, I think I'll go for it this weekend, which is completely over my capacity and the spec limit of my equipment 🤣.
Fourth one.
I watched the last episode of [GQuuuuuuuax] on [Amapura] this season [📺️] in real time because it just coincided with my return home time.
There are many opinions, but I personally think it was an intoxicating work 🥰.
Hi Jive 😃
I see that your busy season is approaching 💦It sounds like a lot of work, but I'm sure Jive-san will finish the task perfectly! Have a drink and recharge your batteries 💪 Good luck with your work this weekend 📣.
Good evening, Mr. Jive!
After a brief respite, you're back in the swing of the busy season 💦.
That's when you need a good drink 🎵.
The heat will be getting hotter and hotter, so it's important to refresh yourself with a drink 😁✨✨.
Hi Jive 😃.
Those are footsteps you don't want to hear 😅It's great that you can make a preemptive strike yourself at a time like that👍.
Don't work too hard 😌Good luck looking forward to a good drink 👋
Hi Manachy ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The pacing was pretty good for a very drunken and quick watch 🥰.
It ended nicely and I hope to see more of it in the future as it's balanced enough to make a sequel ✨.
Hello, HinaHanaMama!
With the end of our service time since the beginning of the fiscal year, we are in a marathon from here until the end of the fiscal year 🏃.
I will be taking a break periodically 🥰.
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
I can only sigh because I already have a lot of work until the end of the year 😅.
While I'm busy, I've had pretty good luck with alcohol this year, so I'm going to open the drunken sake I got ✨.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I'm trying to get what I can done done because if I don't get it done early, I'll be stuck soon 😅.
Still, it's going to be another tough battle this year as more and more things are piling up 🤣.
June 22nd was our second daughter's (our second child) birthday 🎂.
My wife and children were back home from Saturday night to participate in a local sports festival held at my in-laws' place, so I spent the morning preparing for the evening party while getting some light exercise 🥳.
Let's make a toast to the growth of these children and enjoy a glass of sake that is all about [2] 🍶.
Sansho 2024 Yamadanishiki Ni-no-shuzake Nama-shu!
First time drinking Kumamoto Sake and Sansho at home 🎉!
Carefully cut the seal and lifted the lid to hear the sound of a pop 🍾.
［Gulping down the sake]
The aroma of rice is calm and quiet, and the taste is refreshingly sweet and clean with a lingering aftertaste.
［Mokkiri.]
A refreshing aroma of rice, a gaseous sensation that is pleasant to the taste buds, followed by a refreshing umami and a gentle sweetness that finishes with a clean, refreshing aftertaste.
The refreshing, shwashy sensation is just as refreshing as the rumored "Koei Kiku Snow Crescent" and feels like Champagne 😋.
If I could, I'd always have a bottle of this on hand, but I wonder when I'll be able to buy it next😅.
I bought this one at Yoshidaya on a recent trip to Nagoya 💸.
The entrée was Kibinago sashimi, chilled tofu, and the rest of the Hama Sushi Temaki set.
The fourth picture is Eiheiji Kitsune Soba and Beef Stew at Kura-no-soba, which I stopped by on my way home from work the other day, which took until late at night!
It contains both sweetened and seared fried tofu😋.
Hi Jive 😃.
Happy birthday to your daughter 🎂🎁🎊and congratulations on your first home drink of Sundo ❣️ I would love to drink Sundo too 🤩It really looks delicious 💕Fukui's food stall soba also looks delicious 🥰.
Happy birthday to Jive and her second daughter 🎂🎉㊗️
I really want to make Sancho Ni Nozomi sake a regular drink: ☺️
I once proposed a project with Mr. Kawada of chuin to compare numbered brands in a row, it was interesting! It was fun 😁.
Jive, congratulations on your child's birthday & first family only Kumamoto sake and birthplace🎉!
Your child's birthday is truly a very emotional day✨.
Sanndo Nino Brewery seems to be perfect for such a day 🤗.
San-do is delicious 🤤!
Happy birthday to your child, Jive 🎂🎉!
What would you like to give him? Will she play a lot? I have a lot of ideas for birthday gifts 🥰.
Fathers are in a good mood with their children's health and good drinks👍
Good morning, Mr. Jive 😃.
Congratulations on your first Sansho & first Kumamoto sake ㊗️㊗️㊗️ triple for your second daughter's birthday 🎂 celebration sake 🎉Schwarzwi delicious Sansho is perfect for a toast 🥂😋.
Happy birthday to your daughter, Jive 🎉🎂!
You opened a good sake ✨I was surprised Kumamoto wasn't there yet, but I envy you being able to fill it with a birth house drink 😊.
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your congratulatory words 🙇.
It was a perfect one for this gloomy and hot season🥰.
But the problem is that it has become quite popular and it's not easy to find 💦.
Hi Aladdin ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your congratulatory words 🙇.
I finally made it to the store and got my "Sansho" ✨.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it ✨I think it's too extravagant to compare the "SANDO" with each other. 🤣
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your congratulatory words 🙇.
Usually I don't eat dinner and drink alone at home at night, but this day I ate a little bit, so the "San-Do-Ni-No-Brew" really felt just right and intoxicating!
Hi Maru ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your congratulations 🙇.
What do you want? I asked him what he wanted and he said "a picture book of Noraneko Gundan" and I bought two copies so that he and his siblings wouldn't fight😅.
I'm sure the purse strings are loosened when you buy alcohol with kids.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀!
Thanks for the congratulations 🙇.
This time I got the 3 roles together, but I'm currently adjusting my review for next month's post for the 4 full roles 🤣.
I'd love to have a store near me where I can buy "birthplace" 🥰.
Hi Pon, ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your congratulatory words 🙇.
［I've been looking forward to trying "Kyuyo Masamune" as well 😅.
That's also why I was aiming for "Kyuyo Masamune" too!
［We left "Drunken Essence Daigo" and walked to our final stop, "Yakitori Takata".
After ordering the "Akahoshi" and "5 kinds of Yakitori", a traveler from California was seated next to me.
I tried to communicate with him using the Google Translate app, and he seemed to be interested in the restaurant's specialty [Aji Special], so I shared it with him and he responded "Good!
Then, let's have a glass of sake 🍶!
Kikuhime Ginjo Kayo
It has a calm rice aroma similar to that of Yamahai, a nose that gives the impression of Yamahai, and a calm umami that finishes with a calm aftertaste.
It goes well with the eel liver.
Hi Jive 😃.
A break from the adored Daigo 🥹 with yakitori & beer 🍺 😆 some international exchange there 🌎 is also a quintessential communal experience ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I drank too much on this day, but I did my best to [detox my mind 🤣.
No, I think what you two are up to is quite an international exchange 🥰.
I was just showing my phone.
［After leaving "Soba Restaurant Oyabu", we walked all the way to "Shusenan Mizukami".
After sweating off the amount of alcohol we had consumed during the day, we entered the restaurant, which was full of drunken sake that lived up to its reputation 🥰.
After 20 minutes of perusing, I took home two bottles ✨.
I'm going to have to stock up on more Shinshu sake 😅.
From there, we headed back to Kanazawa station to our next destination [Sakeiki Daigo] 🚶.
First, we quenched our thirst with a bottle of Akaboshi, and now let's drink 🤣.
First, I'll start with the one that caught my attention 🍶.
Iraka Gin Kuro Unfiltered Nama Sake
Soft apple-like rice aroma, a refreshing sweetness similar to that of apples, a calm sharpness, and a slight bitterness on the nose at the end.
Excellent with the asparagus tempura we ordered for our entrée.
We drank several alcoholic beverages here, but due to check-in adjustments, we will disclose the other alcoholic beverages on another day 🙇.
Hi Gyve, good evening 🌙
Kanazawa sake terror trip, everything about it makes me too jealous😍!
Daigo is a restaurant I would love to visit, but now I want to go even more 🤩.
Hi Hiro-san!
If you come to Kanazawa, I highly recommend Daigo!
However, it's a weekday and they say it's booked up after 6pm, so you'll have to either open at 3pm on a weekday or make an early reservation ✨.
Hi Jun-san!
I often go to Kanazawa around Korinbo, so it was fun to walk in a different area this time 🥰.
I'd like to have a Hokuriku Off-line meeting this year ✨.
I took a one-day trip to Kanazawa because my JR affiliate points are about to expire this month 🚄.
In other words, it's time for a sake-terrorism trip 🍶.
We went to Soba Restaurant Oyabu, which we had been wanting to visit since we learned of its existence at Sake-no-wa (Sake-no-wa).
Wow, they have a great selection of drunken sake, including famous sake 🥰.
I know I'm an amateur to start with, but I'm going to start my sake drinking at this place, which I haven't been able to drink very much 💡.
Jyushidai Junmai Daiginjo Nakadori Kamimoroshiro, Banshu Yamadanishiki.
Even at 1000 yen per glass for half a half gouge (45ml), you can get into the spirit of drinking 🤣.
Soft and fruity sweet aroma, sweet and umami like a melon before it ripens, which permeates the mouth smoothly and smoothly, then it quickly becomes sharp and has a pleasant aftertaste.
The cool air from the cooled tin cups, which were kept at a controlled temperature of -5°C, is also transmitted to the tin cups, creating a cool atmosphere.
Oh, this is delicious, but I'm not used to drinking it, and I'm not sure if the pace is just right to get drunk enough to be impressed every time 🤔.
The entrée was corn tempura 🌽.
I also drank "Hanahayo" and "Aki-Rika" but I'm adjusting for 600CI so I'll review them later ✨.
Hello @Mizuhashi!
This is a real-time post, but I just left Sakeiki Daigo and will go to Yakitori Takata after this 🥰.
Summer solstice is near so it's still bright ✨
Good evening, Mr. Gyve.
Is this a regular thing? It's a booze terror real post 😁✨✨.
I see you went too, Mr. Daigo 🎵.
I'm so jealous 🤤.
I really can't encounter Jyushidai even when drinking outside, so I'd like to taste it slowly one day 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
This time I was in Hokuriku for lunchtime drinking 🥰.
［I'll post about Sakeiki Daigo later, but I recommend going early on a weekday 🥰.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
What a great live post! I think it's really great that you write and post right away ‼️ We are very happy to see that it's the same 14yo we got the other day 😙.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Thanks for the sake terror 😆It's suddenly a nice drink😻And Jive's is a dish to look forward to😁Corn tempura summer 🎐I'll enjoy watching you after this 🙏.
Hi, Pon-chan!
I've been wondering about you since I heard that you almost always have "Jyushidai" and "Shinsei" and other kinds of sake on hand 🥰.
You can enjoy it twice a day and twice a night: at lunchtime it's a soba restaurant and at night it's a tempura course [Oyabu Labo] ✨.
Finally, my night shift is over 🎉!
My shifts have been so irregular since the end of May that I've been the only one who works nights for almost a month now 🤣.
I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and since it's Father's Day, I'd like to treat myself by opening a little drunken drink 🍶.
Hirotogawa Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
Mr. T.KISO, we did it 🥰 First time drinking "Hirotogawa" at home: ㊗️
And sorry Aladdin 🙇 I could buy "Hirotogawa" but it was a different spec 😅.
［I'm sorry, Aladdin.]
The aroma of rice is a bit like melon, the taste is juicy, sweet, and delicious with a tangy gas feeling at the mouth, and then it finishes softly with a lingering sweet aroma and a bitter taste at the throat.
［Mokkiri]
Mellow and sweet rice aroma, a slight gassy feeling on the swallow, juicy sweet and umami flavor, then a pleasant aftertaste, and finally a sweet aroma and bitterness felt in the back of the throat.
The entrée is [bonito tataki] and [comte cheese].
This time, we boldly sliced the comte cheese into thick slices, and the rich flavor and the taste that unifies with the rich flavor will make you fainting in agony 😋.
Oh, so this is "Hirotogawa's Nama Sake"....
Oh no! This is too good to be true ✨
I finally got a glimpse of what everyone is crazy about by drinking it at home 🥰.
The fourth one gave me a T-shirt/towel with a heat transfer of the children's drawings.
But when I looked closer, I saw that there were two more people.
I wondered if they were drawing my grandmother and aunt, who often take care of me, and asked them if they were drawing my good friend 00 and her mother... why?
Hi Jive 😃
Thanks for working the night shift: 🙇♀️
I'd like to try Hirotogawa's raw sake for myself 🤩Ya bad guy, I'd like to try it too 💕The feeling of oneness with cheese 🤤.
Is the 4th picture a gift from your children 🎁?
Hi Gyve 😃Congratulations on your first home drink at Hirotogawa ㊗️ Enjoying the too good to be true ones at home without any worries, it's the best 😊The gift 🎁 is so beautiful, I couldn't help but smile when I saw it 💕.
Hi Jive 🐦.
Congratulations on your first Hirotogawa family drink🎊Draft sake looks delicious💕Drink a lot of it after a hard day's work😆.
Your gift is cute! The bundle is a mystery, just like your kids 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
Thank you for completing your night shift 🍀.
And congratulations on your first Hirotogawa family drinking 🎉.
I'm so happy to hear it was a gift from your children 😁.
This is one bottle I really want to drink this year 🤤.
Good evening, Gyve 😄.
It was a tough skipping night shift 😅 thanks for your hard work 🎶.
First time drinking at home Hiroto ❣️ exactly fits the bill ✌️㊗️
Hiroto's raw is not only nigori‼️
This Jungin Nama 😆👍 which led me to call myself a department head.
Good evening, Mr. Jive ^_^
Congratulations on your first Hirotogawa 🎉.
Thank you for working the night shift 🙇.
I know the shifts are not always the same 😢.
I know it's a lot of work, but please let Hirotogawa heal you. ☺️
Hi HinaHanaMama!
I am so glad I made the long trip to Kyoto to get this because I don't have a Hirotogawa store near me 🥰.
I'm so thankful for the gifts from my kids that I'm going to keep them on display instead of using them ✨.
Hello, Wakata-san!
I'd like to aim for the much talked about Junmai Nigori Sake next time 🥰.
We both usually like to draw, so it was great to see the results of our daily work ✨.
Hello, Pon-chan!
I got it at Shima Sake Shop in early spring and finally decided it was the right time to open it 🥰.
It was a gift from the kids and a taste that blew away my tiredness ✨.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I've had Hirotogawa several times at the store and finally got to drink it at home 🥰.
I've been working day and night for a while, so now it's more difficult to keep working during the day 😅.
Hello, T.KISO Manager ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I would like to get the rumored [Junmai Nigori Nama Sake] in the future 🥰.
What a surprise! Was it the same specs that got you hooked on "Hirotogawa" 😲I'd like to repeat that again ✨.
We are now in the rainy season, and this year's rainy season is quite extreme: when it rains, it pours, and when it's sunny, it's extremely hot, almost 30 degrees Celsius 😅.
I've been doing some light walking to acclimatize to the heat, and I'm getting used to it, but my face is getting really burnt 🌅.
Now that I've worked up a good sweat, let's have a drink tonight 🍶.
Inokashira: Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai Gold Course
Finally opened May's bottle. June's bottle will be here at the end of the month, so I need to save some space in the cellar 🤣.
［Gugumini!]
Aroma of mellow rice that reminds me of apples, a really faint feeling of gas on the palate, a light sweetness and umami, and a lingering aftertaste that is calm and crisp.
［Mokkiri]
Aroma of mellow rice, a smooth and clean sweetness and umami, followed by a firm acidity and a lingering bitter taste on the tongue.
The other day I saw Ao-chan eating a "Yokowa" and it looked so delicious that I decided to have it with some "bigeye tuna sashimi" and "horse mackerel tataki" that I had just found, and some "comte cheese" that I bought at a cheese specialty store in Fukui called "Happy Cheese" (🧀).
I don't have to tell you that the fish went well with the rich, slightly stinky taste of the comte cheese, and it was a marriage that seemed to melt in your mouth.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
The rainy season is a difficult time to spend with humidity and extreme heat ☔.
I see that there are still a lot of delicious sake in Nagano Prefecture: ⤴️
I've never actually seen it 😲.
Looks delicious paired with fish 🤤.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Walking is a good way to get fit, and an easy way to start adapting to the heat 👍But then again, soba noodles in Fukui always look delicious ❣️The soba noodles are thick, aren't they⁉️Katsudon set is a great deal 🉐.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
It's the most uncomfortable and buggy morning today, so I'm worried about the weather from now on😅.
Nagano's rich nature is very unique, but all of them are delicious 🥰.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
My work is so extreme that if I don't exercise and keep up with the heat, I'll have hell to pay in the coming season, so I'm getting used to it now 🥰.
Soba in Fukui is "country soba", so it's thicker 🍜.
Good morning, Manachie!
It's thicker by default, so some restaurants may offer [thinly sliced] as an option✨.
How about churutto refreshing soba and cold sake in the hot season?
