This bottle was given to me by one of my sake friends.
It is sweet and mellow! It's not overpowered by Chinese food at all! It is strong!
Thank you very much for the food!

The other day was a welcome and farewell party at my former workplace.
It was an all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink Chinese course, but we had to bring our own sake.
The first one was a Musical Instrument Masamune!
Light, sweet and fruity! It is a very elegant sake, but you don't feel it at all even though it is alsodeye. It is the best of the best of the aluzochu liqueurs! (This is my personal opinion.)
We will take a break from sake words for the Banquet Series.
Thank you for the banquet!

Okuroku, which I have recently started to see.
Is it a new brand of Iwate Meikozo? If it has been around for a long time, it is my ignorance.
I have been a fan since I saw the "Oni Kenbai" event at Maezawa SA.
The red color is really cool.
The aroma is a citrusy aroma that makes you want to drink it.
The mouthfeel is very modern, with a clear and tasty acidity when drunk chilled.
When heated as recommended on the back label, it has a moist sweet acidity that is quite good.
As a result, both are delicious.
Don't abuse the sake language, it's self-explanatory.
〜Traditional arts must be passed on locally or they will die out.
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

There was a welcome party for newcomers, and they wanted to drink my choice of sake.
The venue was a stylish restaurant with good Italian food, so I had a hard time deciding. I had never paired Italian food with sake!
So, after much research, I chose Shichibonshari, a brand I had never tried before, but which was recommended by the liquor store!
It has a smooth sweetness, a robust umami, and a bit of acidity. I see, this is good! The depth of the light bitterness is a perfect match with cheese, olive oil, and garlic!
It was a great success 😋.
Don't torture me, I don't care what you say!
〜But, well, whatever you choose, it's the right choice, isn't it? ~...
Thank you for the food and drink!

We had a few bottles of Jyushiyo left, so we brought an additional bottle of Naraman.
This is the product of a business deal with a sake master. This is one of the sake recommended by the teacher.
There is a slight hint of alcohol in the topping aroma, but not enough to be bothersome.
The mouthfeel is full of sweetness, umami, and acidity, with a strong umami flavor, but the acidity nicely wraps it up. From the fruity aftertaste, the acidity and bitterness gently close the bottle.
I've got a photo of the lion dance from the other day, so I'll upload it here.
Don't abuse me, I said sake without permission.
〜Selfish rice balls are delicious!
Thank you for the food!

The other day, my wife brought some Jyushiyo when she had a Hanami girls' party with her girlfriends.
I brought home an extra 1.5 gou of sake, so I rudely shared it with the mother of the izakaya.
The appetizer was boiled flounder and soaked spinach.
It was fresh, fruity, and sweet! There was also a slight gassy feeling. It finishes with a mild acidity and bitterness.
It has a strong presence that does not lose at all to the sweet and fatty flounder. Wonderfully delicious!
Please don't abuse me, sake words on their own!
〜Spinach is best when the root is red!
Thank you very much for the food!

Colonel Lal, here we go again 🙂.
I've never tried the chigiri nori before,
I'm really curious to try it.
I'd like to try it 🤤I've never tried it before. I've never tried it 🤤I guess I'll have to try sesame paste or dried bonito flakes, dried bonito flakes, garinomoto, and shoyu 😅.
I think I'll try it with sesame paste or dried bonito flakes, garinomoto, and shoyu😅.

Thanks for the response, Hanapin-san 😁.
The classic is sesame seeds and dried bonito flakes 😋 Ajinomoto & soy sauce makes everything taste better 😋.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it with soy sauce, nori, and your choice of mentsuyu.

The last in the lion dance series is a kudoki.
It was a bit of a pajampa-yan by now, but we managed to complete the tour in the evening.
Is it less sweet than kudoki? Or is it more acidic? Either way, it was delicious!
This year, I had a lot of emotions, and I laughed and cried during the lion dance parade. My friends may have been a bit disappointed, but personally, it was a good festival!
Thanks for the food!

Lion Dance Series Shishimai Shochiku Ume, a standard sake for Shinto shrines
A local specialty of the season is kusa-mochi, or grass cakes.
It is irresistible to dip it in plenty of sugar and chew it with a jarring crunch.
I was so generous as to accept a Kusa-mochi as a souvenir.

Last weekend was the annual festival at a local shrine.
This year, too, I participated in the lion dance procession as a member of the shrine's Ujiko (shrine parishioners).
During the parade, which goes from house to house, we look forward to the sacred sake from the local people's "Resting Gaiin".
What kind of sake did you encounter this year?
First up was Ishikawa's Jokigen.
It was 20 minutes into the tour, so there was no need to rest, but we were grateful for the sake.
What I wonder about every year at this house is an old jar of Manazuru. When was it made? Phone number 5.
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Cherry blossom viewing season has finally arrived in Sendai!
Despite working the night shift, my wife and I went to Nishi Park on a cherry blossom viewing date!
With a bottle of chilled shochu and a bottle of shochu on our backs, we went to bathe in the flowers.
The weather was warm and sunny, and there were food stalls.
After drinking Hyosai Sour 500 at the warmer, it was time to open the bottle of Hana-yosu.
Because I had to carry it on my back, I couldn't drink only the top clear liquid, but the ginjo aroma was too gorgeous and the mouthfeel was full of flavor and acidity. This is the true "Hanahayo Kuyu".
We were allowed to use the paid seating by the kitchen car as a service, so it was warm in the evening and we had a great hanami experience.
Don't abuse me, I'm not allowed to say sake without permission.
〜It's twice as much fun when there is a stall that you like!
Thank you for the food and drink!

My wife and I went to a nearby izakaya for dinner.
Oh, I've been out drinking three times in a row, but don't worry, they are all on different days.
I was drinking Toyobai at the restaurant when I got an e/g call, so I ran home and brought in some Souup.
This sake is one of my memories from years ago when I was shocked by how good it tasted.
The top-tasting aroma is a fluffy ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel has a clear sweetness with a firm umami flavor. The aftertaste is fruity with a hint of sake. The closing acidity and bitterness are clean and crisp.
It was not what I expected because the bottle was just opened, but I am sure it will turn into something better if it is left for a few days.
Don't torture me, I'll just say sake words on my own.
〜I prefer stockings to raw legs.
Sorry for the trilogy of leg fetish perverts!
Thank you for the treat!
