We had a successful trip to Tochigi and Nasu.
It was my first family trip in a long time 🚖.
The liquor store we had our sights set on was unexpectedly closed on the last day of the trip, so we bought some at a roadside station on the way home.
It had a sour taste and was very good to drink!
It's fun to buy local sake in a travel destination 🍶.
Hi choposhika 😃
Welcome to Tochigi with your family 🤗 Sorry to hear about the liquor store 😫 but there are good liquor stores when you come to Utsunomiya 👋.
But I'm glad you were able to get Asahi Kohsan👍.
I was off work and went to the liquor store alone for the first time in a long time 🍶.
It was fresh, fruity and delicious.
It's great to have a drink after all the housework is done.
This time of the year, as is customary every year, we had Akirika Shuzo's "Okushika" ordered to coincide with the arrival of the new shipment!
This year, we ordered the following products: Naokumi, Nyukonno Ippodo, Hachihachi, and Okushika (Nama-hara Yamahai).
Naokumi.
After comparing 4 bottles, we concluded that this authentic one is the most delicious. It is fresh. But it is not too sweet, which is a good thing! We want to repeat.
I want to repeat.
It is quite refreshing, strong, and THE cleanest.
I may try a different one next year.
Hachihachi
The same peculiar taste as usual. Already soy sauce. Hachitanishiki is more peculiar than Yamahachi (Yamada Nishiki). Miscellaneous taste.
Okushika
Antique. It has a twinge in the nose. It has a peculiar taste that is close to 8888. Okushika is good! I wonder if I will be able to drink my child's birth year brew next year.
I enjoyed this year's brew very much 🍶.
On the way home from a playdate with the kids🛝.
I thought I had drunk Machida Shuzo before, but surprisingly it was my first time. It is directly pumped but has a low gassiness. It may have been quite sweet.
On the way back from playing in the bike park with my brother. I bought a slightly more expensive sake than usual.
It's refined and clean. Expensive sake is very elegant. The child's acclimation will soon be over...
Purchased because of the text on the pop.
I was satisfied with the taste I liked! Not too sweet and not too refreshing, with a nice bitterness and richness.
I am happy to find a drink I like 🍶.
This is a nigori sake version of the Kaiun we drank before.
As soon as the bottle was opened, it was very shrieky and I felt the carbonation was gone all at once,
It was surprisingly refreshing and not so strong...?
I bought it after being told that it was more mellow than the "Kaiun" that was recommended to me last time.
It has a strong sweet taste. It is indeed rich and tasty, but I preferred it with less sweetness and more acidity.
200 check-in!
It's been a long time since he bought it for me. (My son reported, "I bought it!" (My son reported to me.)
It's rich and outstandingly drinkable! It's a freshness that can be felt very clearly 🍶.
My daughter's growth and development seemed to be fine, so it was a day of relief.
