Today's offering is the first Koei Chrysanthemum in a long time.
Steady deliciousness, low in alcohol and soft on the palate.
Drunkenness comes over you.
thanks Saito Sake Shop (Shimono:Ootawara)
Today's Chuaiai from Shimonokuni!
The red shiny ✨ label is beautiful 🤩.
Now, how does it look like?
It's called "orikarami," but there's very little of it in the bottle.
The page of "Saito Sake Shop" where I bought it says
It has a sake degree of -1.5, a little sweet, and the rice is delicious 😋.
A bottle as tasty as the label!
I think it is worth the price of 1,905 yen including tax.
thanks Saito Sake Brewery (Ootawara, Shimono-kuni)
Jay & Novi Thanks for your time.
It's really subtle, and I want everyone to drink it.
but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it!
but also fear that it will be difficult to get it! It's very complicated.
Today's sake is "Hanzo" from Iga.
This is elegant, a little sweet, really elegant!
It is a sake that embodies the feeling of accompanying a meal, just like it says on the back.
It's a sake that embodies the feeling of accompanying a meal, as it says on the back.
It has a lot of sweet "Aizan", but it has a drunken feeling.
It's a very drunken sake.
thanks Yuhzakaya (Ezo: Makaei)
Good evening, Bunzu-san.
I'm very interested in Hanzo & Aizan: ⤴️
Elegant sake that goes well with food 🤤.
I would definitely get it if I could come across it 😊.
ma-ki-, thanks for your help 😊.
I'm sorry to say that this is my own image,
I thought "Aizan" was a very clear and assertive sake rice.
I had an image of "Aizan" as a very clear and assertive sake rice, but this brewery is...
Today we have a year-end gift from my brother-in-law, Miyagi no Homare, Hakurakusei!
A calm umami, you can feel it without saying a word!
I don't have to say anything to feel its deliciousness! I'm going to indulge in this sake with the tempura my wife made for me!
I will indulge in this sake 🍶.
I'd like to meet the new innovation, Hiryu.
Today's accompaniment is Nada's "Senzuke", which I bought at Hanasaku, a corner shop on the first floor of Shin-Sapporo station.
I bought it at Hanasaku, a corner shop on the first floor of Shin-Sapporo station.
Shocking! All I can think of is Susukino!
So, I'm going to eat it.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a little bit of small pieces, and the taste is refreshing and clean.
As you continue to drink it, you will be surprised at how good it tastes!
The umami is on top!
Yes, it's a four-pack bottle, and you will probably finish it!
thanks Hanasaku Shin Sapporo
Hi Jay & Novi 😃
It was really good, but 2/3 of the way through my wife took the sake cup away from me.
But 2/3 of the way through, my wife took the sake cup away from me.
Sake is really an encounter, the way it is sold....
Have a good time!
The third bottle is Tengumai from Kaga.
A little amber-colored sake!
Oh! The taste is unique to Yamahai, somewhat like Shaoxing sake!
Just right for kampachi and tuna sashimi!
It makes you slowly intoxicated.
thanks Toyako Tsuruga Resort Ko no Motto (Ezo:Sobetsu Onsen)
The second sake is Manzairaku, one of the destinations of my son's tour this spring in the Tohoku-Hokuriku region.

Since seafood is the main dish, I chose a sake

It was a perfect accompaniment to the sea urchins and albacore,
It is a perfect complement to the sea urchin and albacore.

Today was our second day at the ryokan and we chose a Japanese dinner!
It was my first time to try Harushika, and my wife wanted it crisp and dry!
It went well with the seafood entrée (amuse)!
It was refreshing and removed a little fishy smell!
It was a perfect accompaniment to the meal!
thanks Toyako Tsuruga Resort Ko no Motto (Ezo: Sobetsu Onsen)
The second drink is to match the main course.
This is a crisp and refreshing glass of urakasumi.
A little spicy and crisp.
The strong taste of the sea from the abalone and sea urchin is washed away
and the fat of the main beef is also melted away.

It was a refreshing drink.
Yes, it was a treat 😋.

Staying at a hot spring outside of New Year's today
To start off with a delicious Western-style meal
I chose "Sakusaku" as the first dish to be paired with a delicious Western-style meal.
It was a perfect match for the appetizer!
The sweet and refreshing drink was intoxicating!
My wife and I shared a cup of sake.
thanks Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Ko no Motto (Ezo:Sobetsu Onsen)
Good evening, Bunzu-san.
Good for you to stay at a hot spring in Lake Toya. ♨️
Masa is a gorgeous and beautiful sake ✨
It's my favorite sake too 🎵
I see you are enjoying your drinking time slowly and leisurely 😊.
Hello, ma-ki-!
I've been working until New Year's Day, so I've been able to relax a bit.
I have been working until New Year's Day, so I have been able to spend a little time relaxing.
I'm glad to know that there are now two more stores near Sapporo where I can buy your products.
I am glad that it has become easier to buy. ☺️
Happy New Year, the first sake of the year is Miyoshigiku!
Unfortunately, I bought this bottle at Hanasaku, a shop under the elevated railway tracks of Shin-Sapporo station, which closed at the end of the year.
I bought this bottle at Hanasaku, which was closed at the end of the year!
The first Miyoshigiku I've encountered in a long time, with an uplifting aroma!
It is sweet and has a pineapple aroma.
The name on the label is Ikuko Udaka!
She is the first female toji in Shikoku.
Calm and sweet, and before you know it, you're drunk!
The taste is gentle! There is only 1/3 of a four-part bottle left.
The rest of the bottle is 1/3 full. This is the magic of Miyoshikiku!
thanks Sake Lover Hanasaku (Ezo: Shin-Sapporo)
Happy New Year, Bunzu-san 🌅.
I'm kind of tempted to buy some Miyoshikiku 🤗.
We have not tasted Miyoshikiku yet 🥲I'd like to see through the magic 😄.
Please keep up the good work this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Jay & Novi 🎍.
Yes, I stumbled upon this brewery, drank it, researched it, and liked it!
The theme seems to be "easy to drink" with a shift to sweetness.
But it doesn't seem too heavy (though there were some outliers).
Today is the last day of the year, the last day of the year
Gyoza is accompanied by "Buyuu"!
Water? The mild sweetness that clears the throat easily and the
and intoxicating experience is born.
I was really aiming for the "Ira Takeyoshi" but
It was a little expensive ginjo-shu, though!
A bottle suitable for a day to celebrate the end of one's years!
Sake from Hitachinokuni is also very rich!
thanks Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito (Mito, Hitachinikuni)
Good evening, Bunzu-san 😃.
I thought it would be dumplings🥟 and beer🍺😅I thought it would be sake🍶 but it is indeed sake🍶🤗I have never had Takeyuu from Hitachinokuni🥲I will have it next year👍.
Have a happy new year 😌.
Hi Jay & Novi, I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the brand name!
Mr. Takeyuki, there is a big difference between your brand name and your palate.
(The brave name is dry and self-serving!)
So I bought it for fun,
But it has become my favorite because it tastes so good.
I am very happy to hear from you.
Today we have "Urasato", Ogawa yeast.
Ogawa yeast was discovered and nurtured by Chikara Ogawa.
It was first used by Akari Sake Brewery (Mizuhu Pride).
Is it now flourishing? Is it?
I think it is my favorite yeast. ⁉️
The label is cute!
Oh, Calpis! Not a snowy scene like the label, but
The light purple color is beautiful 🤩.
And it's got a little bit of a crunchy feel to it (not the katakana "petit petit" feel!).
It's a little spicy, a little sweet, and I don't know what it is...
Delicious! Delicious!
I don't know what it is, but it's delicious!
thanks Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito (Mito, Hitachinokuni)
*Lots of local sake from Ibaraki! What about regular sake shops?
I'm happy to buy it though!
I'm going to soak it in while watching *[Oya-san to Boku]!
Good morning, Bunzu 😃.
I drank the 1st one last year 😋 but I'm curious about the 2nd one as it seems to be more our style 😊.
[I'm sure we can drink it in peace 🥹.
Thank you, Jay & Novi 😭
It was the 2nd f^_^;)
At the corner, oh! Light nigori! I have to buy it!
I had to buy it!
I enjoyed it very much.
I want to cherish every encounter!
Today, I found myself at 500 posts!
So, were you aiming for it? Is it worthy of this number?
This bottle of Mitaski
This bottle is a test brew brewed using "Aikoku," a sake rice used in the Meiji era.
This bottle is a test brew brewed using "Aikoku" sake rice that was used in the Meiji era.
It is very light. Lactic acid aroma
It has a hint of sake yeast, but it's not bad at all.
There is also Shaoxing sake, which is also quite nice!
Full-bodied, but not too heavy.
It goes well with rice.
This is a good addition to the lineup.
thanks Meishu Izumiya (Iwashiro:Koriyama)
Good evening, Bunzu-san.
Congratulations on 500 check-ins 🎉.
Hououmida is still of a high level even in test brewing. ⤴️
I see there are many different types of sake rice 😲.
I hope you continue to enjoy your sake activities 😊.
Congratulations to Bunzu-san for 500 check-ins: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is it Bida-san that goes well with rice? And it's still a definite delicacy ✨It's great that it's all-around delicious👍That's perfect for the number 😊.
Good evening Bunzu-san 😃.
Congratulations on your patriotic Bida for 500 check-ins at ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉.
It's like all the different flavors are living together and everyone is getting along so well 🤗.
Bunzu-san, congratulations on your ㊗️500CI🎊It seems to be a sake that tickles the fancy of sake drinkers, with its secrets and the ability to be modern or classic at different temperatures 🤭🤭I look forward to your future posts 🤗.
Thank you all 😭
I know a liquor store that has a "test? Research? Brew it for now and if it works
If it works, sell it? Is that still professional?"
But I believe that good taste is justice! I believe it!
I'd like to support him in his future endeavors.
500CI was targeted at Bida 😆.
My son is planning a history tour from Shinshu to Echizen Kaga in the spring.
I am looking forward to the encounter with sake.
I am looking forward to the sake encounter.
Bunzu-san, congratulations on your belated 500 check-in 🎊It's good to have a special Houou Mida and a good Kiri number 🎊😋Please keep up the good work this year 🙇.
Today we have the second Shigemasu try!
Last time it was a white wine, and this time?
This time? It seems to have been made with a low-alcoholic taste.
Is it not sweet enough? Watery?
No, no, no. Is it too acidic?
What is this?
A white wine that rejects sweetness?
That's interesting, but then, where are we getting to?
Where will it be?
I think the power of koji is great,
What will we find beyond that?
thanks Awanoya Sake Shop (Iwaki:Taira)
Today's offering is from Inaba Shuzo, a sake brewery in Tsukuba, Hitachinaka Province.
It is a sake brewed by the Inaba Sake Brewery in Tsukuba, Hitachinaka Province.
It is light and watery
But it has a deep flavor.
Sweet and umami? Deeply nourishing....
I feel pineapple and cotton candy in the distance.
It's a really nice sake, and I want to savor it in a four-pack.
I'd like to have a bottle of it.
(But I couldn't find it for sale! Too bad 🫤)
thanks Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito (Mito, Hitachinokuni)
Today, I went to "Sake Masashi-san" who runs a liquor store by himself.
Mr. Masashi Sake, who runs a sake shop on his own.
Rising pineapple
Pineapple on the palate!
A little sweet and gentle
But the mouthfeel is deceptive?
I found myself drunk and with little left over!
It's only for the fall season, but it's snowing outside.
thanks Sake Masashi (Ezo:East Sapporo)
My wife's Izumo souvenirs, the last one a true hit? Tamasakura!
I looked at the label!
Well, it's not good... "Nama Hakashiro" & "Sake Degree +10"!
Is this the beginning of my hardship?
It's a little bit of oriki, but it doesn't spout (oriki is a little bit and a little bit).
Sweet lactic acid smell (but +10!)
Oh? It is easy to drink...not spicy. ⁉️
No strong claim of sake yeast!
And the sake meter? This number is spicy, isn't it?
It's just right for something dry (like surume)!
It is different from the heavy and spicy sake I drank in the past,
I think it's a great bottle! I think it is!
Once again, I was impressed by the depth of nostalgia of sake
I was impressed again by the depth of the nostalgia of Sake.

Jay & Novi, thanks for your help.
We really appreciate it.
We are looking forward to seeing where you will be traveling to next.
{I'll have to stock up for the new year, right?]
Chelsea's fresh caramels!
They say it's only available in Hokkaido!
So(?) Today's accompaniment is
The fifth bottle of Izumo's souvenir that I remember drinking almost 20 years ago!
It's "Li Bai", what? Flower yeast! How does it feel?
A little sweetness, deep flavor and umami!
I found myself drunk,
It's snowing outside, and I'm slowly getting drunk. ❄️
thanks Hitoshizuku of local sake and dishes (Izumo:Tamatsukuri Onsen)
Today's accompaniment is Bungo, Kitsuki Chibijin
Nouveau new sake, I guess.
When I tried to open the cork, I felt gas.
But there is no fizziness.
It is sweet and sour, has no corners, and is light.
It has a sweet and sour taste, no horniness, and light, but it has a strong flavor,
It is a good bottle and makes you want to drink it again,
It is a good sake that will make you want to drink it again.
