AKABU純米吟醸 酒未来 NEWBORN

Since there was a little time between the release date, we also opened a bottle of Sake Mirai, which we couldn't make it to the previous AKABU drinking contest 😆. The moment the cork is opened, the slight feeling of gas builds up the anticipation. When poured into a glass, a sweet and gorgeous aroma like white peaches spreads softly 😍. In the mouth, fresh and juicy sweetness spreads and at the same time there is a clear acidity that makes it squeaky clean. With the youthfulness typical of new sake and a softly lingering aftertaste, you will never get tired of drinking it 😊.

We secretly opened a bottle of Eikou Fuji that was brought to the party the other night 😄. It was chilled in the fridge and when I poured it into a glass, it had a gorgeous aroma. ✨️ The fruity and juicy sweetness is more than you can imagine. The Bunraku I had the other day was quite good, but this one has an even thicker line! There are tropical nuances like pineapple and melon, but the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing. And I had no idea that "Morino Kumasan" was the name of rice... 😲.

The last of the production area is Yamada-Nishiki in two different breweries 😚. If I had it, I would have tried to have it in a four-no brew of Yamadanishiki, but the only other Yamadanishiki available was a mixed brew with Ni-, Roku, and Hozu, so I tried to have it in the month of production 😂. Finally, the usual Ni-no-no-no-nozo. What a relief! When drinking only Yamadanishiki, it is as if you are drinking champagne, but when you compare them, you can feel the fullness of sweetness and the thickness of the line more than other rice 😌. It is mundane in a good way. This exquisite volume, the bitterness of the last, and the slight lactic acidity of this structure that doesn't make you think of the price are amazing😍.

Next up is HOMASU's Shi-No-Brewery😋. Every time I open a bottle of Hozu, I want to peel off the sticker, but I've never succeeded. I thought I opened the bottle carefully, but the cork flew out with a pop 🌠. Compared to the Kako, the aroma is more subdued and the chouxiness is a little more pronounced. The sweetness and bitterness are clear from start to finish. It is very elegant and well put together. I had an image that it was more wild, but I felt it was very cool 😏. Also, when I drank it a few days later, I found that although the schwarziness was a little less, it was still enough to be felt in the mouth, and the sweetness was much more pronounced. The sharp impression was moderately full and gentle. ☺️

One week after your acquaintance's award. I received an email that said, "How about having a post-event party? (I received an email from a friend of mine asking me if I would like to have a party after the award ceremony. I was going to politely decline in a second, but I was starting to worry about the space for summer sake, so I gladly agreed! I'm going to compare the sanshu that I couldn't open for some reason: ☺️ I'll start with Kako's Four Farmers Brewery! It's been about two months since I drank it in Hakata. It's been about two months since I drank it in Hakata. When you slowly open the cork, gas and liquid leak out from the cracks. ✨️ At this point, it already has a savory or grain-like aroma. The fine bubbles at the beginning are still present, and the sweetness felt in the mouth is moderate. From the middle to the end, it finishes with a soft bitterness with a moderately fine line. Overall, the impression is gorgeous and dry💕. The graininess that lingers in the mouth after drinking, which I did not feel the last time I drank this wine. There is also a slightly malt-like atmosphere. I was thinking of leaving some of it to enjoy the changes in aroma and taste over time, But as I put it back in the fridge and drank some other clay, I noticed that it had reappeared and was empty... 😂

Hi sibylla_tks 🐦. Good opportunity? I'm so glad you had a chance to try it 😆 I saw it lined up the other day and finally opened the bottle! And 3 bottles, that's extravagant 😊👍✨

Good morning, Pon-chan! I was wishing, but I ran out of time to drink, so I thought, "Here it is! I was like, "Here it is! It's not easy to compare drinks, so I'm glad 😏.

I was going to end the day with a glass of Kaze no Mori, but it was too easy to drink, on the contrary, it was not enough 😆. It was not a lured water, but a lured drink 😏. So, I had some Bunraku which was given to me by a friend of mine. It's been a while since I've had Bunraku-san, but the sweetness and flavor at the moment of drinking is violent, not unlike the label 😁. I couldn't help but say "sweet", perhaps because the comparison I just drank was with Kaze no Mori. It is voluptuous and drinkable, and the aftertaste is not that strong, so there is a good sense of having drunk it. I had an image of it being more relaxed, but I felt a nice gap 😚.

Long time no see Wind Forest 😋. I saw petit for the first time and I am taking it home. The bottle is cool and sleek. ✨️ The amount of 375ml is just right for drinking up. I didn't feel the piquancy after opening my mouth as much as I thought I would. The complexity that makes you think "Oh, it's Wind Forest" at the moment of drinking is also quite soft. The sweetness and umami can be felt honestly and smoothly, and then the acidity and bitterness are there 😊. With this size and this mouthfeel, you will finish it in no time, so it is good to be able to complete it while it is still fresh. I don't buy many cups or small amounts of alcohol, but I felt the concept was different from that one.

Barcelona's season under the Frick regime. I started to think that maybe there would be a triple crown, but at the beginning of 2025... The result was an epic comeback from a spectacular comeback and a CL semi-final loss 😭. I've decided to open it if we win the championship, but the birthplace is untouched! I've saved up all my money, and now I've got 15 pieces 😆. I don't think I'll ever be able to line up this many again... I counted them and there were 5 each of 3 different types! Now, I have achieved the remaining 2 crowns, but I was ready to have a toast when the league won the championship... Clasico win ✨️ -> Too frustrated with the decision to celebrate The derby win ✨️→When we were celebrating the last time we won the league, which was at the Huera, Perico came running onto the pitch and ran around, so we left the pitch as soon as it was over. Naturally, they could not celebrate. Casa's final game→The winner had already been decided, and thanks to the victory event after losing the game, as expected, they were unable to celebrate. As for the final game of the league, I was in Tokyo and didn't see it! So we watched the game on replay and opened a bottle of Yamada-Nishiki instead of Kako to celebrate. I'll open a bottle of Kago when I get the CL! I wonder if it will stay in the stocker forever 😂.

The last one is also a long time ago, but it might be my first time to drink Dewa Sanzu 😆. It's kind of gorgeous from the color of the label: ✨️ It's a voluptuous sake, but the sweetness that comes gradually makes it seem elegant and makes you want to drink it slowly and carefully 😚.

Continuing with the robust type, we had Tobiroki, which we haven't had in a very long time! It's been so long that I don't remember 😅. I can feel the sweetness from the first sip, and then the bitterness comes in. It's a relief to have something sharp and straight. ☺️

I'm going to change direction a little bit here. I️️. I told him I wanted something a little more robust, and he chose Kuroryu. I️ can feel the sweetness of the rice and the umami for a longer period of time. It is perfect to drink while feeling various things 😁.

This is my first visit to Nagatorogura. The label is very cool 😊. The aroma is soft and fruity. It is not as heavy as I expected and has a good balance of light sweetness and a lingering bitterness. I thought it would be more classic, but I was surprised by the gap.

After quenching your thirst at Kotoko-san, move on and drink again! I try to buy it when it's in stock, since there are not many places that sell it here. I've never seen it here. It was cold right after the store opened, so the clarity was high and it was refreshing and clean! It's easy to drink with a hint of sweetness. It feels like a "Soon" drink.

Sorry, but here's another one with an open mouth 😆. Lately I'm actually starting to think that even if I could buy Shinsei, it would be too good to have at home 😅.

I heard it's been hard to get them in stock lately, sorry for the open mouth 😂. Actually, I couldn't drink all the S-Type at Kotokosan 😖. Thanks to Kotokosan for letting us drink the undrinkable Shinmasa like this 🙇‍♂️

Although you may see it in your eyes, this is your first time to see a Koshi apple🍎. It's already cool from the outside, and the apples are exactly as they look! It's like apple juice, you can almost taste the juice 🥤.

We went to Kotokosan as usual to celebrate a friend's Tokyo headquarters award ceremony 😊. First of all, let's toast with our newest sake. The summer sake of Drunken Whale is the green bottle of Ginrei Summer. This one is a first for us! It has a moderate acidity and is very refreshing and easy to drink! It was hot that day as well, but the temperature didn't get in the way and I was able to drink it easily 😚.
