I went to the liquor store today looking for an everyday drink and our eyes met 👀.
Also kid❗️
The aroma is ginjo gorgeous.
The aroma is gorgeous, and when you taste it, the ginjo aroma is even more pronounced, with a sweet, full Yamadanishiki-like sweetness.
The taste is not cloying, but rather refreshing from the mid-part of the bottle, and the rice flavor and bitterness lingers at the end.
It is delicious!
And what's more, what a great price!
Let's keep up the good work this year!
So I opened a bottle of this one that I got lucky 😊.
I don't think it's banana, but it definitely has a yellow peachiness when warmed up a bit 🍑.
Elegant sweetness, fresh and juicy acidity, and a solid wood vat feel.
I thought it was a little thinner than I would have liked for a Niimasa when I drank it before, but after drinking it this time, I don't think that's the case. It is delicious when it has warmed up a little after being taken out of the ice cellar.
On the second day, the flavor is more pronounced and delicious.
It also has some vanilla flavor.
The new year is going to be busy, but I will do my best. ☺️
By the way, the azalea in my garden?
It always blooms on April 1st. It's too strange 🌺
Seigo-san Good evening ^_^
Good start to the new year👍
Keep up the good work, and when you are busy and stressed, a good drink will heal you 😊.
Azaleas in your garden 🌺? It's a wonder 😁.
Manta, good evening 😊Good start to the day! I am grateful to be able to relax and drink at home 😮 The azaleas are truly magical. When they are supposed to bloom, they really bloom, every year 😮.
Hello Seigo 🐦.
Start with the sake you got by lucky. It looks like it will be another good thing!
Beautiful colored azalea, blooming a little early 🤔 Looks like good luck here too 😊.
I want to drink Oroku regularly.
This time, due to the cellar, we had a small bottle of Cho Oroku.
It still has a nice umami and rice flavor👍.
The crisp acidity and moderate bitterness are also good👍.
The fullness and moderate alcohol when warmed up are also good👍.
This seems to be R3BY. It was packed this year. It is a great thing about Ohroku that it is shipped after it has been properly laid down.
You can't go wrong with Ohroku: ❗️
I drink the others, but personally, along with Senkou, I'm a guy who can't go wrong no matter what I buy: ❤️
It's been a while since I've had a mini bottle of Otters🏠 at home!
I drank quite a few different bottles more than 10 years ago, and at the time, I thought I liked the centrifugally separated 35 draft the best.
I opened the bottle with a pusher.
I miss the aroma: ❤️
When poured, the bubbles are strong.
It is moderately thick and relatively strong and cloudy.
The taste is... the nostalgic Otters flavor 😊.
I can't put into words the nostalgia of Otters that I can feel because I've had so many different kinds of sake.
It has a lactic acidity, but not too sweet, an elegant rice aroma that smells softly, and a crisp bitterness.
Rolling around in the mouth, it tastes "luscious"✨.
I knew Otter is a top runner.
But it tasted nostalgic 😌.
I drank it while talking with my mom about the government building we lived in over 10 years ago ❤️
I came home from night shift and had a drink in the middle of the night.
I bought this one in October because I had more sake in the cellar that I wanted to save, and I was patient and let it sit undrinkable.
Originally, Kouei Kiku's Ikubou was a one or two year old sake.
I know that Koueikiku's Ikubou tastes best when it has been aged for a year or two!
The aroma is acidic and woody.
The aroma is acidic and woody, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a thick brown sugar-like sweetness and umami with a touch of acidity.
A bit gassy.
And there is a feeling of wood vat and brandy.
This is one of my personal top class Kouei Chrysanthemum lovers (but you have to let it sleep) ❤️
Don't drink it in one day, savor it slowly over a few days 😌.
Third day after opening the bottle. It's getting nuttier and deeper 😊I know it's just my personal opinion from a stupid tongue, but this is what makes this sake worth growing ✨.
On the 6th day of opening the bottle, the flavor has become even richer and more delicious: ❗️
I've been too lucky lately to have any food alcohol, so I went to buy some and got this one: ❗️
This print-like label sits nice through the glass of the cellar.
Mitsuya cider, or whatever the kids put in their juice💦.
I bought it thinking it was only a food wine, but from the aroma, I thought it was that in a good way.
The taste is delicious, well balanced and full, with a bitter accent and moderate alcohol content that again goes well with food. I like the consistent bitterness in the background and the clean acidity. ❤️
It also has a slight chile gas feeling and can be enjoyed on its own: ❗️
Happy to have it with my own homemade dumplings.
It was a personal bonanza😊.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😊The cellar allows us to accumulate alcohol, but we try to keep it within 7 bottles 🍶My second son puts in cider and gummy bears, so we are in trouble 😛The Seven Spears are delicious ❗️
We have a growing number of fat-bottomed bottles in our vertical cellar, so I opened this one with an eye on it: ❗️
The lid pops open semi-automatically with almost no effort 🎉.
The aroma is similar to the Niimasa we were drinking until yesterday 😌.
When I poured it, I could see bubbles and bubbles.
Nice aroma, refreshing sweet and tasty acidity, riceiness and bitterness from the middle or earlier, and a refreshing yet thick richness, minerality, and a woody aroma that lingers on the palate at the end. ❗️
It is mellow when it is warmed up, and even though it is not nigori, it has a slightly milky taste.
I think it's similar to Shinsei.
I think it's better to drink it slowly than during a meal.
I quite like it with a strong carbonation: ❤️
It's complex, but anyway, the happy aroma fills my mouth and nose.
Delicious ‼️ happy ❤️
I found this one this year🌸
Exciting ☺️
Nice vanilla like fruity aroma.
It has a strong gassy feeling.
Mellow sweetness like banana or melon.
Creaminess and sweetness.
A hint of bitterness.
Delicious!
It will be gone soon....
Mimuro cedar, right up Mom's alley, no matter which one I drink 😊.
Drinking outside, drunk record.
This is the last drink.
This is also a beautiful sake.
I ordered it knowing that this is what I would expect from Yukino Kayasha, and I feel relieved that I can drink something like that.
The balance is good.
Drinking out memo.
These are drunken notes, so you can't rely on them!
Beautiful fullness.
The bitter taste comes later than the mid-palate.
The acidity is beautiful.
This might be good with a meal 😌.
Record of drunken outside drinking.
The restaurant I drank at had only brand names on the menu, so I ordered dry sake and old sake-like umami, so I asked for Eiko Fuji, and this is what I got.
It was definitely sweet and juicy, just what I was looking for.
I wondered if it had a gaseous taste if it had just been opened.
Drinking outside.
Not to be counted on due to drunkenness.
This is a brand new to me.
The color is dark and you can tell when you taste it.
It has an old sake-like aroma, full-bodied rice flavor, and acidity.
It was served cold at this restaurant, but I guess it should be served warm.
Drinking out after a long time.
This is a drunken note, so I can't rely on it.
The aroma has a Nagano feeling, and I thought it would be sweet.
The taste is super dry!
It has the flavor of rice, but it is definitely dry!
Dry Super Dry.
The range of the turtle sea is amazing.
Sentori lover!
Organic Naturals lover!
I like nigori!
So I went to buy it right away 😊.
Sentori and this nigori sake lid.
It's kind of old-fashioned 😁.
I opened the bottle and poured out the top clear liquid and it was bubbling.
When you drink it, it pops in your mouth, and the sourness, graininess, and woody aroma give way to a pleasant astringent and bitter taste in the second half.
When mixed with more ori, the sweetness and rice flavor increases and it is delicious 🫧 ‼️
Imagining the rough ori crumbling on my tongue as I drink it makes me feel happy to be Japanese. I noticed that the carbonation is trapped inside the ori.
But was it such a good sake in the Edo period? It seems to have a modern taste.
I drank it after the Shinmasa, but it doesn't lose to it at all?
When heated up, the piquant gas is activated. And the aroma is full of flavor. When served lukewarm, the flavor became richer and the rice thickened, again making it delicious.
Dolls' Festival🎎.
Since we are here, we had to open it 😊.
New Year Junmai Shiboritate which I finally won the lottery after challenging every year.
Happy New Year 🍾.
The bottle is great!
The bottle was opened with a squeak, and there was a nice sound as it poured.
The aroma is subdued, but oh my goodness 😊.
Mild gassiness, clear blueberry-like acidity with a nice thickness, and the aroma of wooden vats....
As it warms up, it also has a nice sweetness to it that is pleasant ✨.
Delicious ✨❤️
I wish you a happy new year 😁.
Went to the liquor store with my mom to buy some food alcohol.
Before we went, we decided to buy it under 1,500 yen bound and this one was insisting on a mess so we brought it back 😊.
The aroma is green apple 🍏.
It has a fresh and beautiful green apple taste with a hint of grapefruit, followed by a bitter and astringent taste, which is not unpleasant but rather delicious!
The slight piquant gasiness is also great.
The freshness, lightness, and yet moderate drinkability is due to the bitterness in the latter half of the bottle.
Is such a delicious sake good for less than 1,500 yen? It's good ❗️
Thanks kid😭
3rd day. Mom said, "It looks like something. I wonder if it's Shinshu Kamerei?" So I went back to my memory looking at past posts, and I remembered that the freshly opened Kinmonnishiki unfiltered unpasteurized sake might have tasted something like this. I'm sorry, I have a stupid tongue. But Mom is sure.
World Table Tennis Final 5, opened this bottle while cheering for Miwa Zhang!
Lucky to have met you again this year: ✌️
The cork is a little hard to find.
I have recently learned that you can smell the aroma of sake better when you drink it in a tasting glass.
This sake has a sweet aroma with a slight woody aroma.
In the mouth, there is a strong and thick acidity. But it is not pompous at all. It is fruity and has a moderate sweetness. After the wine is cut off, the umami taste lingers on the tongue. Pleasant acidity and aroma that passes through the nose.
Well, it is delicious. ❗️
Did I say something good about it?
The fact that I was able to drink this is a good thing in itself.
Cheers🥂.
A few days later, I heated it up as I do every year.
It's beautiful and great with its acidity, mellow flavor and delicious taste. ❤️It's especially good warmed up and cooled down. ‼️
Hi Seigo 😃
That was a shame about the World Table Tennis 🏓🥲.
But it's satisfying to drink sogape 😋It really changes the taste when you drink it in a glass where you can easily perceive the aroma 😌.
Hi Jay & Nobby, Good evening ⭐️ table tennis, that was close. It was great 🏓Glass is important too 🥂I enjoy it in my own way, despite my silly tongue & nose😊.
I had a great nigori sake the other day, so when I went to the liquor store, I decided to buy a KID for everyday drinking 🚗.
And here is what I found.
A faint ginjo aroma.
The gasiness is not so strong.
In a word, light.
When you drink it, you may think, "Hmm? Thin? But then it has a slight banana feeling 🍌 on the tongue, a clean and square acidity, and a delicious flavor that spreads. It is easy to swallow it as it is 😊If you let it roll down, the aroma from when the bottle was opened comes out in a whiff in the second half and passes through to the nose.
And it is light and beautiful.
Kid, delicious ❗️
Thanks ‼️
I want to apologize for not buying this before because it seemed like I could always buy it💦.
SARSEN, SARSEN❗️
