Nice to meet you in the Kouei Kiku series.
Juicy and full of citrus acidity, it is typical of Koei Chrysanthemum.
Light and low alcohol (14%).
It's not flashy, so you can drink it all the time.
At Tabei
Aizu Musume's light nigori (rice wine) to be drunk every year here at Tabei.
Refreshing nigori
Strong Seme smell
Slightly sweet, with a hint of spring in the cold
First academic conference at Tabei this year
It is a common occurrence at adult drinking parties that the full membership is not present due to illness or injury.
Gorgeous aroma
Excellent balance of sweetness and sourness
Clean aftertaste with no bitterness
The sharpness is a good thing about Aruzoe.
Everyone raves about it!
Shinanonishiki Active Nigori Restoration House (Ijaya)
Apparently the name of a producer who grows low-pesticide Miyamanishiki
Fresh, sweet and sour aroma
Pear, grape, lychee, chardonnay-like
Soft and sweet on the palate with acidity, bitterness and amino acids.
Silky on the tongue
As the day goes on, the sweetness of the wine increases
to a thick, creamy, gutsy nigorigo.
Urasato Shuzo's local brand Kiri-Tsukuba light nigori
Puchi-puchi carbonation
Co-starring freshness and alcohol

Compared to Urasato's Nigori, the first pressing is more vigorous and rough

Nice body with volume
Delicious with moderate acidity and rice aftertaste
New Year vacations are almost over
I wish I could take a day off from drinking.
but I'm willing to give it a try one more time!
New Year's Morning Sake
First sake is Sugiyuu
Yamada-Nishiki 35% polished rice, Yamagata yeast
A high spec Daiginjo that is also good for warming up
Mild aroma
Elegant wasanbon sweetness and richness
Calm acidity enhances the sharpness
Warmed to lukewarm, the sweetness increases, making it even easier to drink.
Enjoy it with osechi as a side dish this year!
The last of this year is Urasato Usu Nigori
While the second rod is already out in the market, we finally got the first rod!
Calpis soda with sake
Refreshing and not too sweet!
Tempura soba (buckwheat noodle) as a side dish
That's all for this year!
I drank a lot this year!
Let's do it again next year!
Drinking with my friend's parents and son who were back in their hometown for New Year's break.
After baptizing a 20-year-old young man with sake at a local sake bar (I forgot to take a picture...)
Drinking sake at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant
First time at Kura
Easy to drink and doesn't interfere with the sushi
The sake has a nice sharpness that disappears before you know it, so you won't get tired of drinking it.
It is neither too much nor too little, and this normality is the goodness of Honjozo.
As one would expect from Niigata, the range of its products is very broad.
At Sushi Restaurant Misaki
Go to a pub for a drink only once a year
Drinking while giving a year's worth of updates
Reviewing the only sake for which we still have a photo
First time at this brewery
It seems to be from the Nechiozan brewery.
The label looks like wine
Domaine, terroir, vintage, winey...
In short, it's a 2018BY brewed with Niigata Koshitanrei and Niigata G9 yeast.
Slightly yellow
Slightly cloth smell
Slightly aged
Slightly earthy aroma
Taste of rice at room temperature
The salmon carpaccio is stylish and delicious!
I am glad to see the regulars who I haven't seen in a few years are doing well!
At Tomiei
Yui's new sake is available again this year
The first one is Kitashizuku from Hokkaido
Fruity Yui aroma
Gentle sweetness of Yui
The richness and bitterness of the aftertaste catch even yellowtail radish
Michiko's magic is alive and well
Today is the last day of work
A glass of water to thank for having survived despite everything that happened.
Daiginjo-nama sake made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kikusui Funaguchi
The smooth taste of Kikusui Funaguchi is the same as that of Kikusui Funaguchi.
It has a caramel and chocolate-like aged taste, probably because it has been left at room temperature for more than half a year.
It has a full-bodied, sweet, mellow taste.
It will disappear while you are drinking it little by little.
Thank you for your hard work, myself.
Good evening, bap 😃.
Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year 😌.
Let's relax at Kikusui first 😋 and enjoy a good drink before the end of the year 🤗.
Merry Christmas!
Yesterday I opened a bottle of wine, but with the usual cold yakko and persimmon peas as a snack, it wasn't enough!
Today I'm going to go back to my day job and have some sake.
Still more autumnal sake!
Hazen Hakubai's Tawarayuki series for heating up!
Sake that is right on the edge between matured and a bit twitchy is really good!
Chocolatey, rich and sweet.
I still want to try it warmed up in winter!
The rounded umami and sweetness spread across the palate, giving it an indescribable sense of fullness.
Cold yakko and chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) as a side dish.
Thank you Jesus!
First drink in a week
I was on a drinking ban due to cataract surgery, but it's time to start rehab.
The first drink is my favorite new sake from Watanobune
Mellow aroma
Ripe apple, melon
Sweetness with body and a clean aftertaste
An unmistakable Watanabune taste
Flamboyance and bitterness are typical of new sake
I could drink many glasses with pickled turnip and cucumber, but I'm in rehabilitation
I'll take it in moderation.
Hi bap 🐦.
Thank you for the surgery. I know the post-op period is tough too💦.
Please take care of yourself.
I'm glad to know what you're going to drink for the first time in a long time😊It looks fruity, hearty and delicious: ❣️
Past Log

Aroma of bran at first
Then orange aroma.

Gentle ginjo aroma and moderate acidity
The body is full and soft.
Unprecedented Kiri-Tsukuba
Great expectations!
I should have drunk more!
I was happy that I could talk to each brewery at this event, but it was a waste of time because there were not enough visitors due to the lack of publicity.
Hi bap 😃
Mr. Foggy Tsukuba! I'm curious about this bottle now and want to drink it 🤗The third picture, it looks like it's ready to go, but it's a pity that it wasn't recognized 🥲.

Drink with a pledge to continue to serve the inheritance and development of our cultural heritage.
After a successful physical checkup, the first drink in three days was Morohaku from Tomikushin!

When I pour it into a glass, sometimes solid matter comes out.
Fresh aroma with hints of pear and lafrance
Cookie-like sweetness and texture
Thick and thick texture.
Surprisingly refreshing aftertaste thanks to moderate acidity
It is good this year, too!
