We will continue with Noon Crescent 🤗. Oh, ......! Here it is! Here it is! The S A G A Saga that Heppoko is looking for! Fruity with gentle sweetness, elegant gasiness on the tongue, and a clean finish 🥰🥰. This, this, this! Heppoko, I like this 😍😍. 13 degrees Celsius, low alcohol, no longer easy to drink at a juice level👍. Yes, it is certified as 旨5🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴。 (This is the personal opinion of Heppoko, a sake beginner 🔰. Please do not use it as a reference 🙇)

Hello, Heppoko-san 😃 This is the new Kochira Koei Kiku! I really wanted to drink it but the liquor store is sold out 😩I haven't given up on it yet 😤 but I haven't had a chance to meet anyone 🥲. It still looks delicious 😍.

Today I would like to compare Kouei Chrysanthemum 🤗, Sukai and Noon Crescent 🍶. Well, I'm a heck of a person, so please don't make the mistake of using this as a reference 🙇🙇🙇🙇. LOL! First of all, Sukai🍶! Yeah, it's normal (suddenly it's messy...lol) 😆😆. 14 degrees. It's a low alcohol (14 degrees), but it's a solid sake 🍶. I have the impression that it's a bit... (who would know, right? lol)! (Who knows!) 😆😆😆. It's a middle of the road sake considering the level of S.A.G.A. Saga, a sake paradise! (This is just the personal impression of a novice sake drinker, Sukai fans, please do not be offended 🙇 )

This is... bad 😱😱😱. Please open the bottle in a safe place. This warning is so bad even though we are in Japan....... LOL! But being a novice, I opened the bottle in the kitchen sink, which is super safe 👍👍👍. Little by little, vent by vent🤗. It still blew out though! 🎉. I'll spare you the details of the taste (why not?!) It was so good I could have killed a bottle of #4 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴.

Heppoko's Jacketed Series! 🎉🎉 No, there ain't no such series! LOL! I mean, I drank it at the store, though. LOL! But...this label.... Don't you care when you see it? Don't you want to drink it? Can you pass it by? I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't! 😆😆😆. It's like "sake over the summer" that is meant to wash away half a year's worth of dirt ✨✨. I'm sure it washed away Heppoko's dirty heart too! LOL! If anyone wants to wash something away, please try this 🥰🥰🥰🥰.

The rice, water, koji mold, and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture! THIS IS Ibaraki Prefecture ╭( ・・ㅂ・)و ̑̑ggg ! Well, I've never been there and I don't have any special feelings for it. LOL! And the taste... 🍶. Is it sweet? LOL! I know it's just my own preconceived notion, but when I see the brush-lettered label, I think it's dry. LOL!

I finally found it - ☺️ It's Kagoshima's sake 🍶Tempyo 😚. Even though I'm in Kyushu, I haven't seen it at all 🥲. I guess they are a genuine shochu prefecture after all 😀. I'm curious to know what it tastes like...sweet! 😳😳. I thought it would be dry 😆. It was rich and sweet 😃.

It's been a while since I've checked in 🤗🤗. It's sake from Baba Brewery in S.A.G.A Saga 🍶. I guess it's JOKER because it's Baba 🃏🃏🃏🃏. Kuh~! That's so stylish! LOL! The taste is...pretty robust 😳. It has a strong sweet and sour taste. It's different from Saga's gentle fruity type! 😊. And it's a limited production sake 🍶. I found it when I visited Saga on a whim: ☺️. I think there is a once in a lifetime encounter with sake...............................! 👍👍👍

㊗️🎉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 😆😆😆.

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.

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 😅😅).

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? 🥰🥰🥰.

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 👍👍👍.

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.
