㊗️🎉Heppo 200 check-in~🎉㊗️ So, it's missionary work for this girl who deserves the number 200🤗🤗 lol. Sorry to keep you waiting, I may have kept you waiting too long! LOL! Junmai summer sake from Kyuyo Masamune 🍶! The label is a beautiful light green color that reminds me more of fresh greenery than summer ☀️ 🌱🌱. The taste is... fresh and youthful, not betraying the label 🥰. I can't believe how junmai sake can taste so beautiful! The taste is so clear ✨✨. The sweetness of the rice is soft and balanced, and it disappears quickly and beautifully 😆. The gasiness combined with the low alcohol of 14 degrees makes it easy to drink 😍. It's so good 🐴! I have no complaints about this one either 🐴5. 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴 And it's only 1,580 yen for a #4 bottle? It's also the most cost-effective 💪. As I have said many times, it is a very minor sake... I hope one day it will reach everyone in Japan 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Osaka sake drinking comparison - Part 2🤗🤗. It's Katano Sakura🌸 🍶🍶. As the name suggests, it's from a sake brewery in Katano 😊. The label is a lovely spring-like pink 👍👍. Now, let's see...how does it taste.... Eh...? Eh? Um 🐴! Osaka is just my hometown, but I can't imagine how they can make such a beautiful sake😅😅😅. Isn't that the fruity sake that's all the rage right now 😳😳😳! Osaka people can do their job properly too~! (← sorry Osaka people, 🙇‍♀️. (← sorry Osaka people, . lol). Now I have something to look forward to when I go back home in the future 😆😆😆.

Comparison of sake from Heppoko's hometown Osaka 🤗. Last year, Heppoko made her Sake debut, so I didn't know any Sake when I was in Osaka 😅. I didn't know there were so many different kinds of sake in Osaka 😳. So, Amano Sake 🍶! There is a sake brewery in Kawachinagano 🧐. It tastes like proper sake (←what do you mean? (←what do you mean? lol). To be honest, I'm surprised....they can make beautiful sake in Osaka.... LOL! The sweetness of the rice, the umami, and the miscellaneous flavors are exquisite 👍. It is simply a dry sake😊. It's just plain delicious...but not uniquely Osaka 😆😆😆.

I love this so much 🥰🥰🥰. Already...the moment I drank it, I was like 😍Heppoko's favorite one! Refreshing sweetness, refreshing acidity, crisp aftertaste and shwashy freshness👍👍. This is mmmm 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴~ (first 🐴5 in a long time!) I'm not sure why the label is so different from the other ones. For some reason, the label has cherry blossoms 🌸 and fireworks 🎆. Is it spring? Is it summer? I'm tempted to ask myself, "Is it spring or summer? It is a bottle that you should definitely stock in your refrigerator 🤗. By the way, Tobiroku means muddy sake.

My first first grandchild. LOL😆. Beautiful deep blue label on a blue bottle👍. I have a strong image of Hatsusun with a powerful brush 🖌️ typeface label, but this one is easy to pick up even for a beginner like Heppoko! 😊 And the "2236" 🧐🧐 that interests me more than anything else. Some kind of code? I thought it was a code, but it's the altitude of Mt. Chokai 🧐 ⛰️. The Sea of Japan seen from Mt. Yamagata prefecture has a sea... (I've never been north of Tokyo 😅😅). I was commenting about that and before I knew it, I was long winded 🙇🙇🙇. The taste is....sweet! Uma! That's all! (That's all! LOL)

Yume-Roman series 🤗🤗🤗🤗. I enjoyed "Hana-kun" in spring, so I'll have "Natsujun" too 🍶. I was wondering what kind of comment I wrote about "Hana-kun"? I thought, "What kind of comment did Hana-kun write? LOL (well, that's what I am 😅). Now, let's see, "Natsu Jun" ☀️. It's a cool light blue color for summer👍. It has a sweet taste, typical of Mimuro cedar 👄. I thought it would quickly fade away like in summer 😳. The aftertaste is also sweet 😆. The alcohol content is slightly low at 14 degrees, which may make it easier to drink in summer 🍶. Maybe it goes well with fruits with strong acidity like 🍊summer or 🍊hasakaku? 🥰🥰🥰.

Shuho🤗. Do you know? 😳 Actually, heck...I've never even heard of this sake 😅😅. I'm curious so I drank it! 😊 The label looks like a slice of summer with sunflowers🌻 and blue sky. ☀️ I like the feeling of summer in the satoyama~. ❤️ I thought it would be refreshing from the label image 💦. It is a classical sake with a sake degree of +20 🍶. If you buy some grilled squid 🦑 and grilled corn 🌽 at a summer festival stall and sip it, you might be very happy 👍👍👍.

Glorious Fuji again 🤗. I'm sorry, but...! I am not the same Glory Fuji who posted the other day! 😳😳😳. Eiko Fuji is a gentle sweet fruity image, isn't it? 😆 (Heppoko's research. LOL) This one is... a gutsy, refreshing type with a sake degree of +14 degrees! (Do you know what I'm talking about? (←You know what I mean?) It was a sake 🍶. Eikofuji is a type AB with a dual personality (Hepko is also type AB, lol)! (Heppoko is also an AB type, lol)! It's so different that it makes me wonder if I'm a type AB persona. Of course, it is delicious! It's a new kind of deliciousness for those who like dry sake and for those who like Eikoufuji, I think it's good 😊😊😊😊.

This is the second edition of THE Spring Market, a limited edition sake that is shipped only once a year! 😊😊😊. This is a drink comparison with the first one, Weibuki 🍶. Both are Junmai Daiginjo, unfiltered raw sake, but the sake rice seems to be different 🌾. Weibuki is Yamadanishiki and Hoshitenkouro seems to be a comet from Hokkaido💫. They are both very tasty! There was a slight difference in taste, with the Vibuki having a slightly stronger rice flavor and the Hoshitenkoji being a bit more refreshing. Both were really good, but I think I prefer the Hoshitenkouro.
