Thanks again for a great week, everyone😄. It's been a hot day😅. In such a case, we opened a bottle of "Summer's coming" that we had welcomed ✨✨✨✨. It's been almost a year 😁. As usual, it's a sweet and sour sake 😄. This sweet and sour taste soaks into my body after the heat ✨✨✨. I drank it all up in no time 😄 It was delicious 😁.

Next up is Drunken Whale: ☝️ For some reason, they have spring sake, so I ordered it right away: ☝️ This sake has a weak aroma and doesn't interfere with the meal 😄. It tastes great with a meal 😄. This is also a good sake 😁. That's all for today ✨✨

Hello, Kano-san! Sunday market to Hirame market sounds great🍀! I'd like to experience the Sunday market sometime 🎵. I had the summer sake yesterday, but I haven't had the spring sake yet, so I'm very curious about it 😁. The drunken whale looks delicious with a meal 😋.

Hi ma-ki-, ✨Drunken whale is a basic food sake, so it's easy to pair with food 😄I'll hold off on the spring sake until next year 😁.

Today, I went to the morning market (Sunday market) for shopping: ☝️ After shopping, I was a little hungry...so I went to Hirome Market 😄. I looked at the time, it was just before noon... For some reason, my wife found a Kurei... Well, of course she would drink 😁. So I drank some Dokure after a long time ✨✨✨✨. It's still as good as ever...it's raw and rough ☝️ No photo of the bonito, but of course I ordered it: ☝️ Drinking sake before noon is something else (lol)!

Good morning, Kano 😃 Morning markets are fun, aren't they? I'm sure it's a great holiday 😙Brunch with a couple of bonito and Kochi sake from there 🤗.

Kano-san, I went to the hirome market last year and it was great, I went two days in a row, the freshness of the straw-baked bonito tataki is also exceptional ❗️ even Rokkaku-san's latest version is in full Kochi mode😊.

Thanks for your comment Harry😊I sometimes join the tourists to enjoy bonito and sake😄Please come visit Kochi again ☝️The returning bonito around October is the best ☝️

I was so busy from last weekend to yesterday that I had to stop drinking 😅. Today, I really wanted to drink, so I dropped by a restaurant after work: ☝️ I immediately ordered ☝️ There was a bottle of Senkori back in Edo, so I drank it ✨✨✨✨. The mouthfeel is more sour than sweet. It's delicious and has a good umami taste 😁. The aroma is fruity ✨✨✨. This sourness is good for a tired body ✨

Good evening, Kano-san! Thank you for your hard work 🍀! SENKYO's acid seems to heal your tired body ✨. I will have to have a renewed SENKYO too 😋.

Good morning, Kano 😃. You are so busy that you can't even drink 😳that must have been a tough time for you 😢we are also on a break from drinking since Monday 😫. Retro's gentle sweet and sour taste is perfect for such a time 🤗.

Jay & Nobby, good evening 😄Retro is delicious, I'm not a Sentori believer... but it soaks into my tired heart ✨I'm sure your drinks will taste great after a rest 😁.

Today, my wife suggested churrasco for dinner: ☝️ So we went to eat meat 😁. Anyway, we were full of meat and wine and satisfied 😄. On the way home, I remembered that I was informed that there was a limited edition sake from Drunken Whale... so I went to another restaurant even though I drank a lot: ☝️ I immediately ordered a bottle of drunken whale 😁. The rice is Okayama Asahi rice😄. It's a completely different sake that's a world apart from the drunken whales we've had so far 😁. Gentle sweetness, gassy and delicious 😄. Unfortunately, only 10 stores in Japan carry it, but if you can get it, by all means drink it and see 😁✨✨✨.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Kano! It's amazing that you can still drink after eating a lot of meat and wine 😲. I've always thought of Drunken Whale as dry, but it's sweet and gassy ✨. I'm sure it's hard to come across it, but I'm curious and will keep an eye on ✍️ 😋.

Japanese>English

Hi Kano 😃 I've never had sierra 🍖🥲I'll try it next time when I'm hungry 😋. But the part about leaving a gap for sake 🍶 is quintessential 👍 I'll refer to it 😆.

ma-ki-, good evening 😄I think more stores will carry it once drunken whale type25 is officially sold... 😅I think it was at Yajima Sake Shop... 😓.

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 😁.

Good evening, Kano! I was drinking in the evening too 😁✨ I haven't had Ko no Tsukasa yet, but it has a strong umami flavor. ✍️ Let's enjoy drinking in the second half of GW 😋.

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 😄

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

ma-ki-

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 ☝️

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 😊.
