Thanks Ponchan 😃I found myself at 100 check-ins, I wanted to make it to the end of the national competition if I could, but I couldn't 🤣The cedar ball label caught my eye and I ordered it 👍.

Robin, ㊗️100 check in ㊗️ I'm in the mire of the Salmon River. I don't think I'll ever get out of it. I'm going to visit next year's sake brewery, and I'm going to make a trip to Omachi, Holder!

Thank you very much, Kyuzo 😃. Sakewa is fun 👍100 check-ins means you drank roughly 10 bottles of sake ⁉️🤣I'll be going on the sake brewery tour next year ❗️ thank you 😁

Hatsukimine Tsuru at Inada Shoten👍 I happened to be strolling around with my friends and found a nice restaurant ‼️ and it was packed with corner customers inside, so we decided to sit outside. The Yuyamanishiki is easy to drink with a pleasant mouthfeel, which I like. The members who do not drink much asked if they could drink Suitama, but it seemed to be a little darker than Suitama. I couldn't understand why they could drink Suiyu but not Kifotsuru 😁.

I was asked if there was any place for an after-party at a high school reunion, so I took them to Ajikan-ya. ❗️ We visited there last year, but this year the restaurant and name have been renewed, and everyone seemed to remember seeing the proprietress! We ordered a bottle of Banshu Ikkento's Millennium Wisteria. Banshu Ikkyo is known for its strong, punchy Yamahai sake, but this is something else: ‼️ It's not Banshu Issen anymore💦. It has a nice aroma and a lot of sweetness, so it's very easy to drink. Recently Banshu Issen has been releasing this kind of sake a lot, which is great for me as I have a larger repertoire, but it's going to be difficult to make a choice 😃.

Hi Robin 😀 I went to Sanyo Bai Sake Brewery last weekend and it seems that Sennen no Fuji is a locally distributed sake only 😀. I bought Kaede no Shizuku and Honjozo Nigori which are also locally distributed 😇.

Hi Yasbay, hello ❗️ I didn't know that Sennen no Wisteria was local 😳 I haven't visited Sanyo Bai Sake Brewery yet, so I'm jealous 😃I'd like to try Kaede no Shizuku and Honjozo Nigorigo too👍.

I found this at a supermarket near where I was staying during an expedition to Shikoku. I was surprised to see a lineup of sake that I had never seen before in the Kansai region, and the prices were so cheap that I couldn't resist buying some! It was my first time to try Shimada Sake Brewery's sake. I was told that it was alky and super dry, so I decided to be a little defensive 😳. Pouring it into the glass, I smelled a slight sweet aroma: ⁉️ The first sip is spicy but light and completely light and dry👍. It was a refreshing saké that you could drink in small gulps 🤣.

Saito Sake Brewery, which we stopped by during our Shikoku expedition, is located along the main road in a cozy setting 😁 The sales office is connected to the office and is a typical old-established establishment. Unfortunately, the new sake was not yet available, but I got the most popular junmai ginjo here, a beautiful indigo-colored bottle that raised my expectations 😁. The Junmai Ginjo from Gotenzakura has a fruity aroma with a strong ginjo aroma that spreads as soon as the bottle is opened. It has a sweetness at first, followed by sourness, bitterness, and a strong overall taste. Overall, it is a very rich sake👍.

I really wanted to go to the brewery, but since my destination was Imabari, I had to give it up 😭I was lucky enough to find it at a roadside station where I happened to stop by, and I bought it immediately. The black color is special pure, and when I poured the sake and it came to my mouth, it had an aroma that gave me a sense of dryness. It was clear, dry, not too thick, and sweet, so when I drank it, the dryness eased up and I finished it right away 😁. For now, I will conquer Shikoku on my own 👍. The sake I bought on the expedition will last until New Year's 🤣.

Good morning, Robin 😃! Congratulations on your expedition to conquer Shikoku 🎉㊗️ We have never been to Shikoku 🥲I would like to visit at least once 😌Kiraiguro...I am curious about the origin of its name😄.

Jay & Nobby, good morning. ❗️ I conquered Shikoku by myself 🤣I can't get to Kanto area easily 💦I don't know much about it, but it seems to have evolved from Shikiku to Kirai, and then to Kirai, which is a more modern label 😄.

Congratulations on your conquest of Shikoku, Robin 🎉🎊! It's really worth it to do it on your own 😊Tokushima sake is hard to find even in Kansai 👍I wonder how many bottles you bought to last until New Year's 🤣.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Pon-chan. ❗️ I like to visit breweries, so it's not hard for me, but Shikoku is surprisingly large 💦I bought a gift box from Yamatan Masamune containing some not for sale, so I have a lot of bottles, and if I include small bottles from Tokushima and Ehime, I have about 13 bottles 🤣.

We visited the new sake festival of Santan Masamune 😁. There were a lot of people who are fans of Yamatan Masamune and it was pretty exciting👍. Since it was my first time to try their sake, I decided to try all kinds of sake at a paid tasting. Here is a summary of my impressions. Freshly squeezed new sake Needless to say, it is fresh and has a strong acidity. Honjozo Shimanami (1) Honjozo Shimanami has a dry taste with an aroma that is a bit like Honjozo poi or a barrel sake. (2) Super dry, dry and light. It is light and dry, and quite refreshing. It is easy to drink and has little habit. (3) SHIZUKUHIME Junmai Ginjo Not much aroma. It is a junmai with a strong alcohol taste, but the alcohol feeling spreads to the palate and the taste is firm. 4) Ginjo-shu Fruity aroma, the opposite of the aroma is the spiciness that stands out. 5) Junmai Daiginjo Matsuyama Mitsui The ginjo aroma spreads widely. Overall, the taste was refreshing and well-balanced with sweetness. It seemed to be the most popular. (6) Daiginjo-shu It has a ginjo aroma, but it was a little restrained, and the overall impression was very similar to that of ⑤. ⑦Shizukudori Junmai Daiginjo-shu Surprisingly, the aroma is not so strong, (the aroma itself!) The sweetness is strong and the overall taste is dark. (8) Natural old sake Old sake but easy to drink, coffee-like aroma, suitable for aperitifs, but drinkable normally

I was prepared for it, but it was easy to drink because it was well chilled and light and dry. I drank it with a sake bottle and it was just right. It was just right 😁.

The label is beautiful and it doesn't look like sake, but it tastes like sake, and the acidity isn't too strong either 👍 But it's been a while since the bottle was opened, so I'm interested to see how it tastes when it's freshly opened 😁. Maybe the taste has changed? Next time I want to drink it freshly opened 🤣.

We received a bottle of Takaragawa from the Kyokui (Kanei) Tanaka Sake Brewery! It seems to be the only sake brewery in Otaru. There are 3 kinds of sake so I'll try them in order 😁. Junmai It was dry but easy to drink. If you drink it at room temperature, you can taste the flavor. It becomes even easier to drink when cooled. It is also good as a heated sake. Junmai Ginjo Well balanced in taste and aroma, with a sweetness that makes it easy to drink. Junmai Daiginjo I brought this sake for the first time at the off-line meeting: ❗️ It is a clear, cloudy sake with a refreshing taste. This was the first time I checked in for sake from Hokkaido myself, so it was a double commemorative sake 😁.
