Good evening everyone, the second half of GW has begun😊. Today, being a day off, we started drinking in the evening✨✨✨. We opened a bottle of Takashi no Tsukasa 😄 It's like a darker citrus, with a strong umami, is this... a dark dish? So we requested Bolognese for dinner: ☝️ It's pretty good ✨✨✨✨. My wife said it was delicious too 😄 This is my first time to try Ko no Tsukasa, but it's a delicious sake 😁.

Hey everyone, Golden Week has started 😊. How are you doing? I'm working from tomorrow as per the calendar 😅 Well, I bought some fried horse mackerels today, so I opened a bottle of Kamo Kanehide: ☝️ It has sweetness and umami, acidity, and a nice sharpness like a pure sake 😊. It's low alcohol so it's easy to drink...✨ This is a delicious and cosy sake 😄

Thanks again for a great week, everyone ✨. Tonight, I'm going to heal with some Kukai, which was in the fridge 😊. It's been almost a year ✨ Still juicy, gassy, slightly sweet and... yeah... delicious 😁. OCEAN99 Series is my favorite brand 😁.

Thank you all for your hard work 😊. After returning home, opened a bottle of Gassan: ☝️ Actually, I've only had Gassan in the back, and I really wanted to try it 😁. The aroma is not very strong, but the rice flavor is very good and it has a nice sharpness 😊. This would go well with a meal ✨. It's a completely different sake from Uragetsuyama 😁. It's a great sake 😊 Oh, by the way, when I mumbled to my wife about which one to drink next while defrosting the cellar, she told me to drink from the one in the fridge! It's in the way 😦! She nailed me 😓. Wife, I'll do my best to drink...so help me out 😊. The picture is the state of the cellar right now: ☝️
Japanese>English

Good evening, Kano! And thank you for your hard work🍀. The cellar is a feast for the eyes: ❣️ I haven't had Gassan yet, but it's a delicious sake when paired with my favorite meal lately 😋. I'm very interested in Shimane Prefecture as well since I haven't had a chance to drink there 😊.
Japanese>English
Kano
Good evening ma-ki-, good evening😊I have the impression that most of the sake in Shimane is of the classic variety ☝️ goes well with a strong meal😊I'm glad the cellar is a feast for the eyes😁.

Good morning, Kano 😃. I think the difference between a new moon 🌑 and a full moon 🌕 is about the same 😄. Mr. Gassan is one of the bottles I would like to drink but I haven't met him yet 🥲I would like to help you reduce it in the fridge and in the cellar 😋.
Japanese>English

Good morning Jay & Nobby😊It really is a completely different drink ☝️ Gassan...it's a delicious drink, so if you come across it, bring it home 😊Cellar and fridge...you really need to cut back 😅

Next is Houou Mida 😊. This sake is quite rare, it was entered in a sake competition ✨. Lucky you 😆. It is a clear and beautiful sake with high rice polishing. ☝️ It is a very delicious sake with a gorgeous ginjo aroma, gentle sweetness and acidity that is typical of Junmai Daiginjo 😆. There seems to be a difference in where the Yamada Nishiki was produced, but I couldn't find it in the store ✨. I wanted to try it and looked for it... but it was already sold out 😓. I think this sake is easy to match with food ☝️

Next, Mitsui's Kotobuki: ☝️ The author of "Slam Dunk" is a fan of "Mitsui no Kotobuki", so this sake was made possible 😆. So, let's drink it right away. It's very dry and comes in a big splash. ☝️ But it has a strong rice flavor, not just spicy, and since it's raw, it's fresh 😆. It goes well with strong flavored dishes. ☝️ It's delicious 😆.

Last but not least is Maison Aoi✨ This sake is brewed in a newly revived brewery, so expectations are high 😊. I've always wanted to try it, but was hesitant because it's a bit expensive ✨. I found it in the store and ordered it right away: ☝️ It has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, reminds me of a German Riesling 😊. Niigata is known for its light and dry sake, but this sake is easy to drink. ☝️ It's delicious 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳.

Next up is the instrument Masamune: ☝️ Mixed brew series using Kake rice "Dewa Tsannaku", Koji rice "Yamadanishiki", and Yondan "Aiyama" 😆. First time drinking it ✨ I thought it would have a lot of different flavors, but it's a very crisp sake with not much of a cloying taste 😊. It was very easy to drink with a sweetness to it as well 😆. It is delicious 🥳.
