I emptied the Tatenogawa from my father-in-law again, and the next one I brought out was the Harukasumi Winter label from my husband. This label is printed on the bottle, but I like the way it is written on the bottle 😆 It looks like an eco-bag from a supermarket. I heard it depicts the winter scenery of Akita and Mt. Chokai from Misato Town where the brewery is located💦. Sorry for calling it an eco-bag. Now, this is "Misato Nishiki". It has a perfect balance of sweetness and astringency ✨The palate is juicy, smooth, and fresh. It's the perfect food wine, and a delicious one at that 😋🩷.

Good evening, Mr. Wakata. I didn't realize the picture of the bottle was that eco-bag. Did you drink too much at New Year's? 🤣But hey, I like both alcohol and supermarkets too😍I'll apologize from me if I find a spring haze 🙏.

The second bottle at the master's parents' house was served by his father-in-law, Tateno River, 100% clear water of Dewa Sanzan. The aroma is gorgeous, with hints of various fruits. It is light on the palate with a well-balanced flavor, and thanks to its slightly light alcohol content of 14%, it is very easy to drink and has a mildly fruity taste. The taste is smooth and refreshing once swallowed. It is a clear stream, just like a clear stream 👍💕💕. This is a superb food wine 💕💕 It was a perfect match with the scallops that came with the oysters 😋.

I went to my husband's parents' house to greet him on New Year's Day, and one of the bottles I opened at that time was a bottle of kafuda-shu. It is said to be "light fresh" but since it was made in September and opened on New Year's Day, the freshness may have been lost 😅. The aroma is white peachy with a hint of rice, and the light sweetness is refreshing. I can see why they call it "light", the sweetness is more restrained than other packaged sake, which seems to make it more compatible with meals. Goes well with oysters from my parents' house in Miyagi😍❤️ My husband, father-in-law, and I quickly emptied the bottle 😁💦.

I'm drinking this New Year's. I'm drinking it, good thing I have more time than I thought I would 😋. At first, I chose Jigokin for the second day of the New Year. It was Nigorisan, which competed with the one to be opened on New Year's Day until the very end and became the sake to be opened on the second day by a narrow margin. The supernatant was rummy! The rice was sweet and sour with just the right amount of rumune✨. When you mix the whole thing and drink it, the gorgeous aroma and silky mouthfeel are pleasant. At this point, it's already poo 🩷. The soft, mouth-filling softness of the nigori and the acidity and bitterness are in perfect harmony with the fruity impression. I knew this was the one 😆💕👍

Happy New Year everyone ⛩ and best wishes for the new year 🙇‍♀️ On New Year's Day, I drove to Ojinsha Shrine in Nara Prefecture in the morning. My goal was to visit the Mimuro cedar sale, which opens on New Year's Day. I slept hard in the car on the way. I also slept heavily on the way back. This is going to be a year of fighting against sleepiness. Now, I got this zodiac label. The aroma is of white peaches. When you put it in your mouth, you will be hit with a wave of chiri-chiri-ness and deep umami. The final taste is tightened by a fine acidity. This is so good 😍. I drank good sake on New Year's Day 😊. The third picture is this year's red seal of Ojin Shrine. I wish you all a year of happiness 😊.

It is the 31st. I am planning to leave for Nara tomorrow morning 🚗. The last one for this year is "Abekan" Kasumi with Miyagi love 🩷. I still remember the first time I drank Abekan in the summer, and I still remember how impressed I was with it, but this new sake is a pretty pink 🩷 new sake, light nigori, and looks too good to be true ✨. I took a sip and "Yum 😍" came out in seconds. It's fresh, but also a bit chili, with fresh fruit in the mouth 😆 The first sip comes in softly and gently, and then it's gone. The second sip is a spread of aroma, while the deep sweetness lingers forever. I can't stop drinking it 😳The summer Abe-kan was clean and refreshing, but this new sake is gentle, soft, and enveloping ✨. So delicious 😋 Amazing Abekan. Great job, Miyagi Sake😊. Thank you to everyone who has commented on this irregular newsletter over the past year, and to those who have ❤️ in passing 😊Please have a happy new year. Please look forward to seeing you again next year. 🙇‍♀️

After returning home from drinking elsewhere, the master chose "Mimuro cedar", which is a little bit better than the original. It was drier than the nigori we had just tasted at the other sake bar. However, the slight sweetness, the umami of rice, and the complex impression in the mouth may be because it is made in a wooden vat. The dry bitterness nicely brings it all together. This is so good that I could open a bottle by myself 💕 It's hard to find a nigori sake that can claim only the best parts of nigori so well 😆💕Love it~❤️ The luxury of drinking at home is that two people can taste this deliciousness for a fourth bottle 😊I'm really happy🩷.

Merry Christmas everyone🎅. Our Christmas Eve 🎄 was Viridian 2021. We are still in the middle of the Sakai chapter meeting drinks, but once the timing is right, we will have Christmas 😅. The label on the back of this Viridian said to let it sit for 3 years, so I followed the instructions to let it sit. We waited and waited until Christmas Eve 2024 ‼️ and finally the master took it out from Lemacom✨. It is a full-fledged appearance ✨It has a certain dignity. When I poured it into the glass, I could smell a little adult aroma in its indescribable freshness. When you drink it, the true identity of this adult comes out. It's not astringent or ‼️ bitter, but astringency coexists with citrus sweetness and acidity. Complicated, but delicious 😆. When the temperature is a little closer to room temperature, the sweetness comes out at once. The astringency is completely gone and it is a sweet and sour wine that is very pleasant to the palate. Such a change 😳. Amazing ✨ On a side note, Santa came to me a while after I turned 40😊I've been asking for a drink for a long, long time and Akane Sake came to me 💕Thank you husband Santa ❤️

Sakai Branch Meeting (4) We compared the drunken whale with Yamaboshi's super dry sake. This one goes really well with sashimi💕. This one was a very dry sake, and the title of "super dry" was not true. The drunken whale is supposed to be dry as well, but the drunken whale feels sweet. It has such a sharp finish. It has a clear, clear, clean mouthfeel and a firm structure that only the original sake can have, and I really felt that this was a sake that would not interfere with food at all 💕💕.

Good evening, Mr. Wakata 😃. I like the development of the sashimi followed by dry sake 🍶🤗I'm sure the sharp conversation must have continued 😊.

Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃However, dry wine is so refreshing that it makes you feel like you can drink as much as you want, it's a sinful thing 😆After all, we are all from Kansai, so conversation is easy 👍.

Sakai Branch Meeting (3) We drank up the toast, and next came the sashimi, so we went with dry sake. Drunken Whale and Umaisan guess Yamaboshi. We started with drunken whale. Although it is called "dry," it has a sweet taste and a clean dry aftertaste. I had an image that drunken whales were affordable, perhaps because they are sold at the local supermarket, but they were so surprisingly delicious that I had to update my drunken whale information if they were this good 💕💕.

Hello, Waka 🐦. I think it's getting easier to drink. When I drank it with bonito in Kochi, I thought it was easy to drink and tasty 😋I'll have to drink it again after seeing you 😅! Maybe we're both broadening our tastes 😆.

Sakai Branch Meeting (2) The other of the two toasts was a new sake from Tobiroki. Tasake and this one is also special pure. two side by side, a nice start. ❤️ I have always been convinced that Tobiroki is delicious without any logic, and I was confident that I was right on this day. The aroma is more gorgeous than that of Tazake. It tasted like green apple or ⁉️ muscat, slightly sweet and refreshing. Even the astringency that comes at the end is delicious 😋I can drink this as much as I want forever 💦. Delicious is a sin 😭. Since I couldn't attend the Kansai Year-End Party, I was excited to see everyone I haven't seen in a while, and the drinks went down a bit 😆.

Sakai Branch Meeting ①. Thanks to our neighbors whom we were able to connect with through Sake-no-wa, we were able to organize a year-end party despite it being a weekday 😆Thank you Uma-san for organizing 💕. The participants were Umaï san, Rutemi san, Maru san, myself and my husband. The place was Kurami. It is a restaurant with good drinks and delicious food 😋. I don't know how much work I finished for this day, I worked so hard. If I thought I had a plan for this day, I could do my best 😭. Well, first of all, we chose two kinds of sake for the toast. Tasake and Tobiroki. This Yamadanishiki Tokusyu Tasake was, in a word, what I was waiting for! In a word, this is what I've been waiting for! The cherry-like aroma, the sweetness with a hint of rice that spreads deep into the mouth, and the skillful way it flows smoothly at the end... everything is "this, this, this! It's all here 💕. Delicious 😋. It was an excellent match with the sea cucumber and celery pickles that came out: ‼️

Well, as for what I drank in November, here's Go Yugi. Actually, it was my first time to drink this 💕. It's a junmai daiginjo that stands out for its cleanliness. The aroma is fruity, yet refreshing, like between apple🍎 and strawberry🍓. And yet it's not sour or anything, but a gentle sweetness. I like this one - ❤️ It was so delicious👍 It's mid-December and it's finally getting wintry, but autumn 🍂 has arrived at a large park near our house. It was cold, windy and cloudy, but the beautiful autumn leaves cheered me up a bit 🍁.

I know it is every year, but December is so busy 😨I can't find even a millimeter of time to do things at home after coming home from work😭I'm sure everyone is the same, even though we are in different industries, and it makes me feel kind to people I see on the street or on the train who look like working people. Today is a relaxing Saturday morning that I haven't had in a while. I opened a bottle of sake for the first time in a while. I should preface this by saying that I opened a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei🐢 last month, which I picked up at Okazaki Shuzo during my summer trip to Nagano. It's refreshingly dry and just a little bit thick. Delicious 😋💕 I was properly reminded of Noto: ☺️
