Hot, three-day weekend, Kusaka Musou!
A little dry and punchy on the palate, it finishes with a smooth, yet well-balanced taste that remains.
I opened the bottle today and will drink it slowly.

Frog label from Kotobuki Sake Brewery in Takatsuki, Osaka!
I don't know why the frog label, but it is a good sake, very fruity and deep in flavor.
I had it at home today with shrimp dumplings and this sake, and it was a very good accompaniment.

Wind Forest Dew Leaf Wind 807!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I was on an overseas business trip, so after a long time, sake is the best.
I had Kaze no Mori Black Label Rusubafu 807.
It still has the same slightly effervescent and robust flavor, with a lingering aftertaste that lingers for a long time. It is quite a solid taste of Kaze no Mori.

Haneya Junmai Daiginjo 50 Wings!
Nama-shu.
Very light, refreshing and fruity. It has a lingering aftertaste at the end and is very easy to drink. It is perfect for such a dreary rainy season day.
I have had several Haneya's, but the Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Sake is really delicious.
P.S.
I've been busy again, so it's been a while since I've updated this page. How are you all?
I bought some more sake, so I will update this page.

I recently visited Toyama on a trip for sake. I have had sake from Wakakoma Brewery in Tochigi in the past, but there is another Wakakoma Brewery in Toyama!
This nigori is a real treat, with a complex, delicious flavor that is both schwashy and mixed with just the right amount of acidity and umami.
Since it is nigori, it tastes great on the rocks as well.
It is a sake that can be enjoyed in many ways. I would like to buy it again when I visit Toyama.

Icebreaker season is here again this year!
This is a brand new sake, freshly made this past May. I just opened it and it has a very rich, robust, fruity flavor with a strong aftertaste.
I can drink it on the rocks and it goes down very well.
I bought 3 bottles at once, so I am still enjoying it!

It has been a while.
I have been busy with a flurry of activities, so I have been drinking sake, but it has been a long time since I have uploaded anything.
Today, I will be drinking Nikuro-Tsuchisei by Mifukyu Sake Brewery. I have been drinking famous sake such as Mitsuriboshi, but this is the first time I have had this brand. I thought I would buy it since I am also a Nikkoku Saturn star.
It has a slightly tangy, dry mouthfeel,
It is a well-balanced sake that does not interfere with food.
Since it is a draft sake, it has a robust flavor and is quite tasty.

Hi takan 😃
Even though we are busy, or rather because we are busy, we need to drink 😅I'm glad we can afford to raise the sake 😌.
It's nice to drink alcohol from the same planet 🤗.

Mr. Jay & Nobby,
Thank you.
It was the first time I had ever had a drink from the same star. I hope my luck will be a blast after drinking it. I am not unlucky by any means, but I wish I had even better luck!

Fresh Shimehari-zuru!
I bought this sake at the airport when I went on a business trip to Niigata. It is very delicious.
It has a slightly tangy mouthfeel, a mellow taste, and a firm flavor that remains in the mouth until the end.
It is a well-balanced sake.
It is delicious.

While I'm busy at the end of the fiscal year, I've been able to see the goal for now, so I'm going to have my first sharaku in a while!
It has a petite, slightly effervescent, fluffy, fruity aroma that comes first, and from there, a firm lingering aftertaste. It is a very well-balanced sake.
You can enjoy it very much!
Have a nice weekend!

I bought this sake at Niigata Airport on my first business trip to Niigata.
I had heard of Hakkaisan, but had avoided it because I thought it would be dry, but since it was a draft sake, I drank it for the first time.
It was indeed dry, but it was a very thick sake. Of course, it was delicious, but it still had a punch because of its sake-like flavor. It was just as I had imagined.

I like to spend time with Rin.
I bought this Gorin on a recent business trip to Kanazawa, which is a sake made by Kurumata Shuzo.
It is too easy to drink because it is fruity on the palate, but then it goes away like water.
It is a little dangerous because it is too easy to drink! LOL!

On a heavy snow day like this, I'll have a Senkou snowman! Cheers to returning safely from a heavy snow and blizzard in Kanazawa area on a business trip.
It's been a long time since I've had Sentori, Snowball ⛄️, but it's still delicious!
It has a sweet and sour mouthfeel and a delicious punch that goes down your throat.
I drank more than half of it in no time.
It is cold, but I drink it cold.

Banshu Issen's Shippo starch entwined raw!
I've had Banshu Issen before, but this is even more special. Can you feel the shwashiness in this picture?
It is a very fresh and well-balanced sake with a crisp and tasty taste and a fruity, shuwa shuwa taste. I would like to buy it again.
I had a late night drink today because I successfully completed various deadlines.

dew leaves wind 807 !
It's been a long time since I've had a Kaze no Mori, the sake that taught me how good sake can be.
Dew Leaf Breeze 807 is gorgeous, fruity, shwarming, and has a robust flavor with umami to the end, it is really delicious!

Akabu's Junmai Namaishu at ‼️
I haven't had Akabu in a year.
As usual, it's fruity, sweet and sour, with a final schwirling, refreshing aftertaste that I can drink as many glasses as I want!
I opened it today, relieved from a long online meeting.

Hiran Rinran ‼️
This is my first time drinking Hiran! It's insanely delicious! It has a fluffy, fruity mouthfeel and a depth from there, delicious.
I want to enjoy it, including the individual differences. Mine is a hit!
Below is from the label
Tobiori's Nama-shu refers to "living sake". It is not a clear sake, but rather a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. It is an image of a continuation of the fermentation that took place in the tanks of the brewery, also in the bottle.
For this reason, there are individual differences from bottle to bottle, even within the same bottle. We hope you enjoy the differences in expression that change depending on when the bottle is opened.

Yamamoto Midnight Blue Nama-no-Hara Sake!
It's a shwashy green apple!
Fruity on the palate and firm on the throat, this sake can be enjoyed twice in one sip. I've had Yamamoto several times, and this Midnight Blue Nama-Nagarazake is one of the most impactful and delicious sakes I've ever had.
I bought it in a bottle and will refill it and drink it slowly.

Hatsu Shibori Brewing Ichigo Unfiltered Nama at ‼️
Fresh and fruity on the palate, with a mellow and enjoyable aftertaste along with a robust flavor in the mouth!
This is a Tochigi sake, but this is the first time I've had it.
It is the first time I've had this sake from Tochigi, and since it is unfiltered and raw, I guess the extra robust taste and miscellaneous flavors make it even more delicious!
I had to start work today, so it was a good pick-me-up.

Sakunohana Tezume Nao Kumi!
This sake may be new to me.
It is a shwashy, petite, slightly effervescent. It is a very well-balanced sake with a fruity pear-like mouthfeel and a firm, mellow aftertaste.
I drank it cold and nama at the beginning and at the end, and lukewarm in the middle.
It is delicious either way. I would like to buy it again.
Today I cleaned out the papers and other unneeded items in my (small) study at home. I feel refreshed at the beginning of the New Year.

Happy New Year ㊗️!
New Year's Day is a day of good luck,
We had a limited edition of Shoryu Hourai, a raw sake directly from the vat! It has a slightly fizzy, fruity, pear-like taste on the palate, with a delightful finish that will make your tongue squeal at the back of your mouth.
It is a very enjoyable sake from a farm that is very particular about its farm and fresh production method.
I bought this sake when I was in Kamakura and would buy it again.
