Hi Rika 🐦.
I drank Kanji no Yokoyama for the first time at the event and it is delicious too! I would love to try this light nigorigo too😻
I haven't seen your drama lately, but Fuka Koshiba is cute 💕.
Pon-chan! Congrats on your first Kanji Yokoyama 😆😆 I like Yokoyama as well as Hiragana because it's delicious 🎶There were a lot of breweries at the event! Too bad the Fukuoka brewery wasn't there 😂.
Fuka-chan, you look cute as a oiran (courtesan) in a historical drama!
Good evening, Rika!
Light nigori and orikagari are dangerous words 😁✨.
I also recently got my first Yokoyama Goju-san, although it's a different label, and I was looking forward to it, but this one looks delicious too 😋.
Choroki-san 😆 Fuka-chan was so good in the role of a bumbling Fuka that I fell in love with her performance😍Actors are great 😆Kanji Yokoyama is as good as Hiragana, so you should check it out 😉❣️
chika 🎶lol this is good ⤴️❣️😍There are many good drinks, but this is one of the best! I'm happy to share it with you 😆😆! I'm happy to share it with you 😆😆.
Congratulations to ma-ki-san ⤴️ for getting his first Yokoyama Goju 😍😍Yes! I'm a swamp when I bought it 👏👏 lol 😆 I know it's a dangerous word but I fall into the trap of being a usunigori-origori-related person 🤣🤣🤣.
I still want to try many different kinds of sake, and I know they are delicious! I was putting off trying the oriental beauties that I know are good 🤣🤣.
But...! Origane! Raw! 😍😍
I haven't picked you up in a while.
As soon as I opened the bottle, I could smell the sweet fruity aroma 😍😍!
Great expectations ⤴️⤴️
Take a sip and you'll be mmmmmm⤴️⤴️ delicious❣️❣️
Very fruity and rounded sweetness😍.
On its own, it's very sweet, but with a meal, it's spicy and astringent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
It was still good 🙌🙌

When I started drinking sake, they still had it in Fukuoka.
At that time, there were so many sake that I wanted to try, and I thought that I could drink it anytime since it was from Kumamoto, a neighboring prefecture.
But it became a Kumamoto-only sake and I couldn't drink it 😆😆.
I wandered over to a liquor store in Tamana, Kumamoto,
Oh wow! I found Hana no Kou 😍😂😂.
I'd forgotten all about you because of the major popularity of Sandon in the country 😂😂.
When you open the cork, it has a sweet fruity aroma.
Not flashy but gorgeous sweetness in the mouth 😋😋.
Rounded acidity😍.
It's like strawberries 😍
It's so delicious ⤴️⤴️⤴️👏👏👏👏👏👏

ymdaz! 😲Oh well! I'm in Fukuoka, so the Sanchi is rather popular and not so rare lol (that's extravagant lol) 🤣I was shocked when I found Hana no Kou 😆😆Let's go to Kumamoto ⤴️
Masaaki Sapporo! That's right! Hana no Kaori is only sold in Kumamoto prefecture and not even in the neighboring Fukuoka prefecture! It's not even available in the neighboring prefecture of Fukuoka 😂😂It's a different stance from the saké, but I prefer Hana no Kaori 😆.
It's my favorite Dragonfly series by Wakanami Brewery😍!
Found and captured safely🙆🙌
It's hard to tell from the picture because it's written in black on black paper.
but it says "dragonfly" right on it 😆😆.
Ohhhhh delicious 😍😍!
It's like a strawberry 🍓😍It's so berry 😍❣️❣️
The next day, it became more and more sweet and sour 😋.
The konnyaku sashimi with vinegared miso goes well with it 😋😋.
If you let it sit for a few more days, the sweetness and sourness will come together.
It's interesting to taste the spiciness of the sake when paired with pasta in tomato sauce 😍.

I've tried a few different kinds, but I still like the blue label takachiyos: ❣️
I'm glad to see it again this year 😆.
I thought it was more refreshing than I expected when I opened it, but after a few days it was sweeter!
I thought it was more refreshing after opening it, but after a few days, it turned sweeter! 😍😍
Yes, yes, yes, yes, this sweetness: ⤴️
And a little bit of chotoyi is ❣️
I kept it a little longer and it started to feel more like rice 😆.
I'm not a fan of this one, so from now on I want to drink it as soon as possible after opening it and letting it sit for a few days 😆.

I discovered Aizan in Nabeshima😍.
I was also attracted by the label in a pretty shade of peach 🎶
I was wondering how sweet and rich it would be, since Nabeshima has a rather rich flavor to begin with, but it was a refreshingly light sweetness 😆.
I was expecting it to be a little sweeter and richer than it was, but it was a refreshingly light sweetness 😆.
A bit surprising 😂.
But! I was a little surprised 😲 but!
After a few days, it becomes very fruity sweet 😍⤴️⤴️😍😍
The complex flavors come together nicely and neatly.
Fruity like a combination of peach🍑 and apple🍎😍😍.
After more time, it becomes more cohesive and sweet fruity 😍😍.
I am very impressed! Nabe-sama!

Refreshingly sour ✨️
Like a grapefruit sour😍.
After a few days, it was sweeter while still having the grapefruit feeling 😍❣️
I like it better after a few days when it's sweeter.
If you drink it with a small tomato as a snack, it will increase the bitterness level and double the flavor 😍.
Now I want to try it with pasta or pizza with sour tomatoes 😋.

Try drinking it without mixing the lees
Oh sourness like yogurt😆.
When mixed, it's a crazy good balance of sweet and tasty fruity ⤴️
And it's easy to drink because it's low al 😋.
This is the kind of drink that you drink too much 🎶 Yum ❣️
It's like a lactobacillus drink 😆.
I paired it with curry as if it was a lassi!
Good 👍😋.
But then I thought about it, I haven't had lassi yet 🤣 lol

Hi Rika 🐦.
I like the drink that goes with curry 😻I've always been curious about this one and went to check it out this week but it was sold out😂.
I could well imagine what the lassi tastes like 🤣 that made me laugh 🤣.
Ponchan 😆 I knew that lactic acid drink type soft drink lassi is often served in curry shops, so I just grabbed it thinking I knew what it was lol 🤣I'll have to try a real lassi soon lol 🤣🤣
Mmm sweet ❣️
I love this sweetness so much😍.

I thought Gohyakumangoku would have a refreshing taste, but this one is thicker, sweeter and fruity.
The technique of making kijo sake is amazing!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Some nigori rice may still have some rice grains, but this one is so smooth you'd think it was mixed in a blender 😆😆😆! It's so smooth 😆😆😆.
You can tell just by taking a sip that the alcohol content is high 😲!
As the label says, it's very rich 😆😆.

Good morning♪
I had this the other day at a liquor store tasting.
I thought it was sweet, but was surprised by the dry toro 😳I will post a different Shiromayumi soon 😁.
Koizo 😆😆 Yes! I like sweet sake and I thought it was sweet 😂I was surprised because it was dry lol! I like sweet sake and I assumed it was sweet 😂I was surprised because it was dry lol🤣I'm glad to share this mood😂I'm waiting for other Shiromayumi posts: ⤴️
moderately
slightly tipsy
Hoshi no Yoru
And it's a ho ho ho!
The gentle rice flavor comes first, then the umami.
As time goes by, the rice flavor becomes less pronounced and the sweetness increases. ❣️
Then a slight sourness 😍 The sweet and sourness is nice ⤴️
After more time, the bitterness starts to appear 😲 It changes little by little but the taste keeps changing 😍.
The bitter taste of the final form has appeared,

I heard it was juicy like melon but it's a little different 😂 lol.
But it's delicious 🙌!
The aftertaste is slightly bitter and sour.
I've had it for a few days now and it's getting sweeter 😍😍.
The sweetness is more pronounced and the spiciness is more pronounced.
Surprisingly goes well with spicy hot bean paste eggplant 😋😋.
I left it for a few more days and it got sweeter 😲⤴️ and the spiciness almost disappeared 😲 It became sweeter to my taste!
In my opinion, it's better if you drink it slowly after a while 🙌

I wanted to try the peach heaven with the light peach color label.
I went out to see if the store had it, but they didn't 🤣🤣.
But after looking at the fridge, I found out that it's white "Yukiten",
I found a white "Yukiten" 😲😲!
I was rejected by Momoten, but I took home a bottle of Yukiten🎶🎶.
Now, I'm going to eat it: ⤴️
Oooh ⤴️ delicious 😍😍😍😋😋😋😋!
A hint of sweetness followed by a hint of bitterness.
Not soft and sweet, but a little spicy and mild.
A little bubbles after a while.
After mixing the lees, the aroma became slightly sweeter 😍.
The taste is soft and creamy.
as time goes by, it mellows out and gets sweeter and sweeter 😍😍😍.
I've been drinking it sparingly lately, but now I'm drinking it more and more 😆😆😆.

Recommendation from my usual uncle at my usual store: ❣️
It's a classic looking label, but I bet it's sweet and fruity, just the way I like it 😆.
Here we go: ⤴️
Low key but pop it open🎶.
Mmm😍😍It's still delicious!
It's fruity 😍❣️ peach 🍑 or grape 🍇 😍.
The sweetness and fruity taste spreads softly on the palate, then the pungency and astringency come in afterwards 😋😋😋.
It goes great with marinated onions and salmon 😋.
Cream stew makes it even more fruity and sweet 😍.
Neapolitan, stuffed peppers with piquant spiciness 😲.
With time, the sweetness and fruityness increased 😲.
If you let it sit for a few days, it will come together more and be more stable and delicious 😲😍.
This is good ❣️❣️

Hi Rika 🐦.
That's a great recommendation from Ojou who knows what you like 😆👍Fruity🍑🍇Banzai🙌!
I only tasted it, so I want to drink it at home next time I find it ❣️
Pon-chan🎶I see you've had the sake at the tasting: ⤴️ please have some at home 😉 ❣️ The owner here is getting better at explaining the sake every time I see him, and I get excited every time I hear his recommendations.
If you see a peach-colored label of takachiyos, you can't help but buy one 😍😍.
Let's try it 🎶
I imagined it would be sweet and fruity, but it's more like a plum than a peach 😆.
It's more like a plum than a peach 😆
It has a bitter and pungent taste.
Not only sweet and fruity, but also complex with a bitter and pungent aftertaste 😋.
It goes well with marinade and tangy onions 😋.
Stew makes the flavor more intense 😲.
If you let it sit for a few days, the bitterness and pungency will settle down and the sweetness will increase, making it like a peach 🍑😍.
I left it for a few more days to see if it would get sweeter, but it didn't change any more 😆.

Hi Rika!
I also got it the other day from ⤴️
It was my first takachiyos, and I had the same impression as Rika, though I also had an image of sweet and fruity 😋.
I enjoyed it anyway 😊.
I'm glad we can drink the same sake and share the same taste 😆I seem to prefer sweeter sake, and Takachiyo is more refreshing than I prefer 😂I wonder if the more I drink the more I can get closer to my favorite sake: ❣️
chika-san❣️ right 😍😍Hiragana Takachiyo has been released in many different color labels and they all look delicious😍I still prefer the standard blue label❣️
Ooh! Delicious 🎶😍.
Pretty voluptuous 😆
Like a peach🍑😍.
The fruity sweetness is also strong but very well balanced ❣️
The sweetness is soft and gentle and the spiciness comes on the back end 😋.
It goes well with white sauce.
It goes well with sweet and spicy seasoned okara.
It also goes well with sweet snacks.
good with sponge cake 😋 but not so good with red bean paste 😂 I don't know why 😆.
After a while, the voluptuousness of the sauce settled down and it became even easier to drink 🙆.

Jay & Nobby 😍This is my second bottle, but the last one I had was also sweet and voluptuous, so the image of "Daishinshu is sweet" was taking root 😆 I see they also have a dry one! I'll try the dry one next time ⤴️👍
The owner of the store told me it tastes like ramune ⤴️, so I had to buy it 😂😂.
They also had the unleavened version but I chose this one because I like nigori 😍.
It's so shwashy😍I love shwashy ❣️
It's really like a rumney 😋😋😍😍 + a little spicy!
It still has a faint gassy feeling after a few days🙆.
The slightly spicy taste has calmed down and the sweetness has increased😍.
It has just the right balance and would go well with many dishes 😋😋.
It was great in a soy sauce based pot 😋❣️

I usually buy it on the recommendation of the guy at the store.
I've never had a step-self 😍it's already nigori 😍😍I found it 🎶.
I was clutching it as fast as I could,
I heard that there was a TV drama recently that personified sake, and some customers came to buy Ippouki after watching it.
I haven't seen it yet...
So, to commemorate the purchase of Ippouki? I'm watching the drama "Arabashiri" to commemorate the purchase of Ippouki 😆.
And not my impression of the drama,
My impression of the first Ippo 🙋.
Gentle rice taste gentle bitter taste 😋I like it, I like it, I like it ⤴️
It's like a lactobacillus drink🎶.
Sweet and tasty 🙋❣️
I wonder if the image matches the actors in the drama 😆.

Rika-san Good morning 😊Ippo-self light nigori is delicious 😄And I'm watching the drama "Arabashiri" too! I also watch the drama "ARABASHIRI". I think it's interesting because I can easily imagine each sake!
Good morning, Rika 😃.
Congratulations on your first nigoride sake 😋 at ㊗️ 🎉It's so good 😋!
I'm glad you're interested in sake 🍶 even from a drama 🤗I haven't seen it though 😆.
Rika, congratulations on your first ippoumi 🎉I haven't had a light nigori yet, so I'm jealous 🤤.
I'm so jealous because I haven't tried Usu-nigori yet .
I hope you will be able to spread the word about Ippoki and other great sake from "arabashiri". ☺️
Rika, congratulations on your first step 🎉!
I'm watching it without drinking, so the image of alcohol is getting bigger and bigger than the drama 🤣I wish I could have watched it with drinking like Rika 😂.
Are you watching Sashiu-san⤴️😍😍I'm on episode 4 and it's interesting how each drink is personified 😆I haven't tried any of the other drinks at home yet except for this one Ippoumi and Akabu, so I'd love to try the others 😆😆😆.
Jay & Nobby 😆I heard that the drama is based on a manga, so I want to see the manga too 😆They have different kinds of good looking actors, so there might be more ladies who want to drink sake because of that image😍 lol
Aladdin 😆I personally think sake is a great way to expand your horizons, and I'm a step in the right direction 😆I hope there are a lot of people out there who are the opposite of me: arabashiri or actor → sake ❣️
Pon-chan are you watching the drama too 😍😍I've never had YAMORI, KAMONISHIKI or SHINOMINE 😆YAMORI is described as a crispy guy, I can't help but wonder what he means 🤣🤣😆😆.
