My birthday this year, though it was already a month ago 💦 was 🎂 with Shinshu Kamerei's Yamae Nishiki, which I got on a great adventure during the Bon Festival. Normally, I would have opened it as soon as I bought it, since it was the release date of Akabu's Autumn Sake, but this year I decided not to be so gung-ho. Because I've got one foot in my late 40s 😭. This is indeed Shinshu Kamerei. Fresh and fruity, but it's not enough to describe the taste and depth of the wine. And above all, it has a nice aftertaste 😋✨. It's like everything is complete in this one sip 💕it's a stone 😊so mature, so smart and delicious💕💕. I was in a good mood after being celebrated with a cake made with a whole big peach 🩷!

At the Kansai Sake-no-Wa Sakai Drink Party Umaisan's fun project, Sakai City's "bring-your-own-drink" party. It was a very special day, with people from outside of Sakai coming all the way to the city. The third picture shows how everyone was feeling. Our family brought our Abe-kan and Ding, which we acquired during our summer adventures. This was my first Abegan myself. I thought it would be dry like Miyagi sake, but it is not overly dry, but very clean. It is not overly dry, but has a very beautiful mouthfeel, with a modest juiciness, but it has a nice sharpness, so everything is taken away by the end. I was surprised and impressed at the same time that it was such a beautiful sake 🥺 This is delicious ❗️ Abekan, I think I will be following this one from now on, good sake 😆. The other bottle of Ding, I gave you the hi-ire sake before, but this time it's a nama-shu. This time it was a fresh one, so it seemed younger than the hi-ire one. Well, they are both really good 😋. The 3 hours went by in a flash. It was so funny when everyone declared an extra hour at the beginning 🤣Thank you for a great time 💕.

The last sake of the great adventure called "going back home" was Miyagi. It is Flying Bird Beni, a restaurant-only sake from Otokoyama, a representative of Kesennuma. Sotenden has a dry image. Flying Bird is also very refreshing. It is a little different from the previous Sotenden, which gives us a sense of the brewery's underlying strength. If I come across it again, I will order it again 😋🩷. My summer is over after closing my last night in Miyagi with Miyagi sake. It was a night that I was even more sad to leave when I thought of the reality that awaits me in Osaka 😭. After this, I took an overnight bus for 12 hours. The husband and I arrived in Osaka at 7:30 in the morning and went straight to work. I'm not young anymore and my body is sore😅.

Thanks for the great adventure, Wakata 😁. Although you say it's limited to restaurants, you can find it in stores sometimes in Miyagi 😊. I've had the blue bird one and it has a great contrast of sweetness, umami and sharpness 😋. I'm sorry you haven't had any yet 🤘.

The third and final drink of the last day of this great adventure called "homecoming" was Moritami from Sendai. The husband was chasing me all the way and we met at Nigori Sake👍. It already looks pure white ❗️ It is thick and fruity, sweet but not too sweet, and tastes like an adult sweet sake. This is delicious 🩷. Might even be good with warmed sake🤔. I'm a sucker for this flavor, so I was curious about the non-nigori sake too 😆.

The second and final order of the last day of this great adventure called "going home" is Kifengaku's North Shizuku. This is my first time at Kifengaku. Gentle puffy feeling and melon flavor.

The last day of this great adventure called "going home" was spent at an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) that promotes Japanese sake. Since I was taking a 12-hour overnight bus ride back to Osaka, I decided to have dinner there as well. We started with a comparison of Tohoku junmai sake. Haginotsuru is a junmai sake with a lighter rice flavor. It was easy to drink. The first sip of A-Sakura has some body, but from the second sip, the acidity starts to show. The sweetness of Banjo Kotobuki spread from the beginning. I preferred A-Sakura and my husband preferred Banjo Kotobuki. All the sakes went perfectly with the dumplings 👌👌.

The second bottle in Kesennuma Oshima, Ding ✨. I bought this bottle when I went to Nagano on this great adventure called "homecoming". I had already been carrying around a bottle all this trip without sending it (my husband) all the way, just to encourage him to pair the Ding with the sumptuous seafood at this Kaiho 😍. According to the liquor store where we bought it, it is fruity and popular number 1 ❣️. Ding is produced by three graduates of Tokyo University of Agriculture. The fruity aroma is gorgeous. It is super soft and has a gentle sweetness. I think I know what Jyushiyo means when I say that it has a smooth, elegant sweetness and a sharpness that goes well with it👍. It's really a delicious and careful sake. ❣️ Delicious, really delicious 😊. I'm not sure if it's the same as the other two, but I'm sure it's the same as the other two. I am so impressed with Kaiho-san. We were so thankful for the delicious fish, sake, and Kaiho ✨.

On the fifth day of this great adventure called "homecoming," I left my parents' house and went to Oshima Island in Kesennuma. Of course, we stayed at Kaiho, our regular lodging. It was supposed to be a big adventure chasing after a typhoon, but so far every picture I have taken, including this one of Ryumaisaki, shows a blue sky 😁I am a self-proclaimed "sunny woman". The day is coming soon when I will be allowed to take away my self-proclaimed title and call myself a sunny woman👍. Now, the toast at Kaiho is Echigo Tsurukame Sparkling. As it says on the back of the bottle, it is a junmai ginjo brewed with wine yeast and filled with carbon dioxide gas, so it is quite shwashy. Already, this is wine. The white one! The juicy aroma and taste is really muscat 💕The sweetness from the acidity is very pleasant. What the heck, this is soooo good 😆💕.

On the evening of the 15th, after finally landing in Miyagi, my original return trip, I enjoyed a sashimi platter from my parents' house and a bottle of freshly squeezed Banjo Kotobuki (Shiboritate) that I had picked up in Fukushima. The goal of this series of large fishing flags is to represent the local way of life. This azure has a light rice aroma and smooth mouthfeel. The slight sweetness contrasts pleasantly with the bitter astringency of the ori. In a word, silky, bitter and light. The acidity is fluffy and the pungency is moderate. It is perfect with sashimi, delicious 😆💕. This is also a sake that was highly recommended by the son of Konno Sake Shop, near my house in Osaka, so it was understandably delicious 😋.

This is the third day of the great adventure called "going back home. It was a beautiful wilderness. Now, I thought I would upload the Yamazan I got in Nagano ⁉️, but this is the Yamazan Spring Sake my husband got out of nowhere a month ago, 100% Sake rice is Yamae Nishiki. The one I got this time was sent to Osaka and I will enjoy it later 😋. This was my first Yamazan, and I love light nigori (light cloudy sake), so I took a sip with high hopes that it would be delicious. The fresh aroma is very spring-like. The fine oriel gives the beer a soft texture. When you drink it, you can taste a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, so it seems to go well with strong food 💕. As it warms up, the melon appears and can be enjoyed on its own 😍. Hatsuyama San, for now, is so delicious 😆✨I can drink as much delicious water ❣️ as I want💦.

On the second night of this great adventure, I drank the different sake rice of Hijirizumu that I bought in Gunma 😋 I had checked out some izakayas with a good selection of sake, but I had a really delicious katsudon (the 4th one) for lunch and it was still sitting in my stomach at 8pm, so I decided to drink the sake in the room while it was still good. I'm going to consume it in the room while it's still good 😅. This hijirizumi made with Watari-bune, has a distinctive bitter taste. The one I drank yesterday with rice from Gunma had no bitterness at all and was just easy to drink, whereas this one with Watabune from Shiga has a bitter finish that leads to a sharp taste. I like the bitterness because I don't dislike it, and it was delicious, but I personally have to give the edge to the Gunma rice. When it comes down to it, it's a matter of preference. The delicate flavor is the same, and it depends on how much you accept the bitterness. But it is delicious. In addition, the horse sashimi was really delicious and I couldn't get enough 😋.

The second one, a great adventure in the name of returning home and effective use of travel time on the Shinkansen🚄, is by Takeba and Akatake. What is it about the word "support" that makes me buy 💦? This Takeba no Akabusan is also in that vein😅. This is indeed one word for Mr. Akatake. Gentle, sweet, and beautiful 😊This was a delicious and wonderful sake💕.

Hello, Wakata 😀 I see that Izakaya Shinkansen is now open😇. Sounds like the perfect drink to accompany you on your journey while looking out the train windows 🍶. I envy your fun trip 😀.

Hi Yasube, 😃I stayed in Shinkansen for about 1 hour, so the time was a little short to do Izakaya Shinkansen 💦After all, Obon, it takes twice as long to go somewhere, so it's that much harder 😭.

After leaving my mother-in-law's home in Gunma, the next stop was Shinkansen 🚄 and a quick flight to Koriyama 😁. I used the time in the car to pick up a few things I had missed. This is a collaboration sake between United Arrows and Abeno that I drank in May. This is a rich sweet sake. The sake is brewed by aging "FOMALHAUT Imperial Sake" and adding more sake to the brewing water used in the normal sake brewing process. It had a sweet, mature finish, like the taste of matured ✖︎ fruits 😋.

This time, the Wakata family decided to go on a great adventure in the name of returning home. Their destination was Miyagi Prefecture, which was directly hit by Typhoon No. 7. We drove to my mother-in-law's family home in Gunma Prefecture via Ueda, Nagano. After that, we went sightseeing in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, and then back to my parents' house in Miyagi, where we enjoyed sake and the history of Japan. The typhoon and my arrival in Miyagi are almost the same day, so I'm worried about whether this trip is feasible or not, but for the sake of a good sake trip, I'll go ahead without hesitation 😁👍. I got Shinshu Kamerei in Ueda without incident, and also got Yamasan and Ting. We arrived in Gunma, impressed by the Yamba Dam. Of course, I was aiming for ✨Holy ✨. The white koji rice of Hijirizumu that I got is absolutely delicious 😋 It's nigori and active, and you can imagine what it tastes like, but it's so refreshing that it betrays that. It is not bitter, but not too sweet either. It goes especially well with sour pickles💕. We also enjoyed a bowl of rice cooked over a mountain pass that we bought at the train station and a bottle of Raiden beer from Nagano (a complete jacket purchase), and our night at my mother-in-law's house ended well.

Good morning, Wakata 😃. The Ueda to Miyagi route is a must for sake lovers, but it was a very long drive 🚗😳. But it's worth it that you managed to get some of the best Shinshu sake like Shinshu Kamerei, Yamasan, and Ding 🤤.

This is the second thing I forgot to give you in June. A colleague of mine who often drinks sake with me recently brought this one, Sashimi. It's nice to meet you, but as the name suggests, the label looks refreshing. I took a sip with a little excitement. Sweet and sour‼️It's not alcoholic at all, and the freshness, especially the citrusy aroma, goes down your throat. Yes, it never leaves your nose😅. This is a gulp. My coworker and I drank it together and it was gone quickly💦.

I forgot to give you two things in June. One is Suitama. I like its moderate acidity and ginjo aroma 😊. But the back label says it has a moist umami, but it comes with a lot of zudong. As the temperature gets lower, the sweetness increases and the zudong decreases, but it had a mature taste that was both mild and profound 😋.

I completely missed the timing to give you this, Changyang Fookmusume's Active Summer. This is the one I ordered after Tian Ming the other day at another place's sake. This is also from CWS. I wanted to post it after Tian Ming, but I ran out of energy 😭 I'll get back on track now. This is apple🍎, with a fresh aroma and a trace of gas. When you drink it, it's sweet at first, then quickly comes crisp and dry. Delicate acidity, elegant apple flavor, and a dry aftertaste. Nothing but delicious comes out of it 😆💕.
