Grandma Mama's Group Story, Part 5 I had brought the "Tenmei Leap" as a present to Mom, but she asked me to taste it for her. She graciously agreed, and I was able to have a little taste. As the label on the back of the bottle said, the aroma was modest, but the sweet and sour flavor that Tenmei is known for was on full blast! The taste was smooth and elegant, and the acidity with a touch of sweetness burst in the mouth. It was so elegant that it made one wonder if it was a kijozo-shu. It is so elegant that it makes one wonder if it is a noble sake. This is delicious! Thank you very much for the sake!

Grandma Mama's Group Story #4 The grandmothers, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they were all excited to get on the gas and get going. They were as excited as they were when they were working, and they said, "Oh no, the most exciting thing we talked about at the pub was 💩! The content of the conversation was no different from 30 years ago... This kind of socializing is too enviable. Hamachidori is also a first for me. I don't feel much of the scent, but it has a crisp, dry taste with a hint of umami. It has a classical taste, but it is a delicious sake that has enough of what you want. Around this time, karaoke started, and we sang "Island Blues" over Hamachidori, and the night went on. Thank you very much for the dinner!

Grandma Mama's Group Story Part 3 Next is Asahi Xing We were told that the box seats were reserved, so we were drinking at the counter. The entrance opened with a bang, and in walked three senior citizens who had retired some time ago. They said, "It's been a while, We ended up drinking together... Asahi Koh for a long time! The top-tasting aroma is a mild ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is dry, with a sweetness and umami on top of the dry base, and the acidity and bitterness are clean, beautiful and delicious! Is this what "deliciously dry" means? Thank you very much!

Grandma Mama Group Story Part 2 The next service is the fourteenth generation I'm ready to go! What a honmaru...but I didn't expect it to be a Kakushin! It's the first time. I didn't know this was a jungin spec. It has a floral and fruity upper aroma. The mouthfeel is exquisitely balanced between fruity sweetness and umami! The fragrance is fragrant with a mild acidity, bitterness, and sharpness. Everything is perfect, yet there are some peculiarities. I don't know if this is the case with Kakushin, but this peculiarity makes it extremely tasty! Thank you very much for the treat!

Last weekend, my wife and I went out for a drink. After a light yakitori dinner in front of Sendai Station, we took my wife to her grandma's snack bar, which she was very interested in. There was a great lineup of sake in the fridge again today. It is hard to believe that this is a small bar in the middle of nowhere! The first round of drinks came out with something like Jikin's Omachi! Tasting service! Mr. Shinzawa's Aratomi Rockfest bottle! Soft and light, with a restrained assertiveness and aroma, but firmly delicious! Mr. Shinzawa is a master of his craft! It is a good match for any kind of wine. Thank you very much!

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

Souvenirs from a classmate from Akita, Japan, at the end of GW If you are not sure about Akita sake, go for Fukukomachi! I think it's as reliable as the best Akita sake. I don't feel much of the Uetatekoso aroma. The mouthfeel is familiar sweet and tasty, but it has a very different flavor with a crisp acidity. In addition, it has a strong umami flavor, and the taste of umami acidity is something you don't encounter very often. Fukkomachi has a lot of nostalgia! Thank you for the great meal, and thank you to our colleagues!

A bottle given to me by a junior colleague at work. There were several other bottles that appealed to me, but I chose the untested moon well. The aroma on the top of the bottle has a unique and mature feeling to it. The first thing you notice when you drink it is the aroma of the wooden vat! The first thing that hits you is the aroma of the wooden barrels! The aftertaste is also wood vat. The closing acidity and bitterness are mild, but the aroma of the wooden vat is amazing! I was wondering if this was a strange one, but as I drank it, the woody flavor turned into an almondy flavor, and it is very savory and delicious! It was a bottle with a very strange structure. Thank you very much!

It has been a long time since my last post. The Sendai Aoba Festival was a great success. We, the Wooden Charter Society, spent two years restoring a song that has not been sung in public for 69 years, and this was the first performance of it. This time we performed it for the first time. I was chosen to perform on the stage of the Yoiyama float and on the stage at night as the older brother of the "kiyato-on-do" (wooden float), I was so nervous that I went out of tune on stage, but since the song has not been sung for 69 years, no one would have noticed that I went out of tune. Anyway, thank you for your hard work for the two days, and let's toast with Miyagi sake. It is a jun-dai sake made by polishing up to 33% with sasanishiki (Japanese sasanishiki) grown in the prefecture, but it is very cost-effective at less than 4,000 yen for a bottle. The first day after opening the mouth, the acidity was strong, but after a few days, it opened up, The aroma of the upper part of the bottle is a subdued scent of plum blossoms. The initial acidity has settled down, and the taste has turned into a sweet flavor that is really clear! One sip and you will be in ecstasy. While enjoying the fruity aftertaste, it finishes with a calm sourness and bitterness. Thank you very much for the treat! You can watch the scene of this kiyate on YouTube, etc. Search for "Sendai Aoba Matsuri 2024 KIYATSU"!

The owner of our favorite liquor store, Higashi Ryu This year we were able to get Sasanigori without incident. The regular version of Jungin is also very tasty, so we are very interested in this one as well. The aroma is fruity and reserved. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet, and you know it's good the moment you taste it! The aftertaste is fruity and fruity. The fruitiness increases around the time of the aftertaste, and the acid bitterness at the end is mild. It is a strange sake with a sense of transparency even though it is a "Sasanigori" sake. The Sendai Aoba Festival will finally begin tomorrow. Last weekend, a purification ceremony and a lighting ceremony for the Date Gate were held, and everything is ready for the festival to get into full swing. The weather is looking good, and it is the best time of the year when the blue leaves are at their most radiant. I will be there with my tin can and singing the woodcutter's song! Please come to Sendai this weekend! Thanks for the food!

The last one is Kenkunichi. Sasanishiki sake is delicious. Fuyuka, which I drank some time ago, is also a Sasanishiki and is very good. Well, that was Jungin. Around this time, the customers are getting excited to join in the conversation, and the sake tastes even better. A blissful time in a cozy izakaya with simmered dishes and sake. Thank you very much for the dinner!

After the first meeting, I had another drink with a colleague from the same neighborhood. A small izakaya with a cheerful proprietress and a regular serving of Toyobai sake. We were the only guests at the izakaya, and my coworker and I had a silly conversation over a bowl of simmered bamboo shoots and fried bean curd. The dry, moist sake was a great conversation starter for us and the proprietress. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

The fourth bottle brought in is Aizu Chusho. This one is also from the inventory of a junior colleague I mentioned earlier. It has the unique flavor and richness of light nigori. It has a moist finish, which gives it a gentle feeling. It is a distinctly different sake from the others we have brought in. I like this kind of sake! This kind of sake is also good! At the banquets I organize at work, I give an allowance to those who bring in their own sake. A bottle I want other colleagues to try. A bottle I want to drink with them. I want to cherish that thought and the spirit of self and others co-prosperity. Thank you for your hospitality!

The third bottle brought in was Koshi from a junior colleague. According to him, his brother, who loves sake, gives him a lot of sake, but since he doesn't drink it at home, he can't help but accumulate it. He brought in a bottle of sake for us to drink together. So, for the sake of my lovely junior? Let's give him a helping hand! Kangiku (sweet and sour), Fudo (delicious), and Kouji (the go-between). I think of them as the three pillars of Chiba. The mouthfeel is just the right amount of sweet and sour. It is a good match between the previous two. An endless loop of Sengiku, Kouji, and Manjukagami. This is good! Thank you very much for the sake!

Following the black bottle at the previous farewell party, this time he brought a white bottle. The aroma was slightly fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and fruity, with a fragrant aftertaste. The bitter aftertaste is crisp and bitter. This bitterness reminds us that it is alsobe. This deretsun-like sensation is addictive! Thanks for the treat!

Last weekend was the welcome party for the new employees at the end of the fiscal year. We wish we could have done it in April, but due to some sudden troubles, it was held at this time of the year, The banquet course with all-you-can-drink service. We chose Sengoku for its sweetness and acidity as a counterpart to Saku, which has a strong sweetness, Modern or classic? We decided on the modern one because of the impact of its appearance. It is fruity, sweet and acidic, just as we wanted! What is sweet and sour in sake? I am often asked, "What is sweet and sour in sake? This is it! This is what sweet and sour means! Even those who were drinking it were surprised at how good it was. I won't tell you how it tastes. Thank you very much!

The last of the Tempura Festival is Jikin! We opened a bottle of my wife's favorite. The aroma, taste, umami, aftertaste, and sharpness are all well balanced at a high level. I would like to drink it all the time, but by this time I'm getting very drunk, I wanted to keep drinking, but by this time I was so drunk that I had to be driven off to the bedroom to go to bed. Anyway, GW, which was a long weekend without going anywhere, ended with the best Tempura Festival. Thank you very much for the food!

Next is Yonesuru! At first glance, this bottle looks like an ordinary Junmai Dry Taste, but we hear that a certain sake shop in Sendai ordered this bottle by special order, and when the bottle is opened normally, almost half of the contents will be blown out. It is called Sengokuya Special! To open the bottle, it takes about 10 minutes to gradually release the gas using a Senmaikiri. The mouthfeel is excellent, with a slight sweetness and acidity from the gasiness of the sizzling gas. It also has a firm umami that is typical of junmai (pure rice). The acidity and bitterness at the end are well balanced, and the sake cup never stops drinking. In no time at all, the bottle was empty. The price was 2800 yen for a bottle, but that is too cheap. Thank you very much for the sake!

Children's Day! For me, with my low mental age, it will always be my day💦. Waves of tiled roofs and waves of clouds, the very lyrics of the song were perfect for this sunny day. It was the last day of this year's GW, so we invited some friends from the neighborhood and had a drink at their house from early in the morning. My wife made tempura from wild vegetables that we received from other people, so we held a tempura festival at Lal's house! This is one of Kanbai's test brews. I think it was a challenge to brew a drinkable low-alcohol sake without watering it down. The top-tasting aroma is softly fruity. The mouthfeel is light, sweet and acidic, with ample umami. The acid bitterness of the sharpness is also light and refreshing, but you do not feel that the taste is thin. It is an exquisite wine that does not leave anything to be desired. The tempura was fried, but my appetite got the better of me and I don't have any pictures. I don't have any photos because my appetite got the better of me. Thank you very much for the meal!

Abe's account, which was given to him Abe-kan is a crisp, dry sake, but it varies a lot depending on whether you drink it chilled or chilled. When I first chilled it in the refrigerator at 0 degrees Celsius, it was more dry and I felt it was not enough. The next day, I brought it back to room temperature and was surprised! The dryness remained the same, but the flavor was more pronounced! It was a perfect match for cheap sardine sushi, sashimi, and stewed plums! I realized that this sake is made in a port town and goes great with fish. Thank you very much for the sake!
