My family went to Awaji Island to celebrate me 🚙. It has been a tradition for me to get a freshly prepared Sandesi by Miyako Bijin when I go to Awaji Island, but this time I decided to have something else. Honjo Shuzo's Minamicho🍶. I'm not sure of the details other than it is a sake from Awaji Island 🤣. It was smooth and dry and went well with the food👍. The rice flavor, depth of flavor, and the mood of the trip covers that 🤣. But Awaji Island, every time I go there, the west coast is getting more developed 😳 Fashionable island 😎. I'll be back soon 🚙.

Maru, I don't know what it is 😁Congratulations ㊗️🎊🎉. Awaji Island is nice, isn't it? ☺️I went there the other day and totally fell in love with it 😄. I'm sure you'll have a great time at the ocean view inn 🍶Local sake is one of the best parts of the trip 😊.

Hi Maru 😀 The banana liquor I drank last year was banana in both aroma and taste, so I had high expectations for this one too, but suddenly I felt down 🤣. If Maru-san, a very senior person, says it's still too early for me, I may not be able to do it😅.

Imanishi Sake Brewery is well known for its Mimuro Cedar. I have not seen this sake very often, but I bought it thinking that the sake bearing their name must be very strong. The aroma is subdued, but it is like a rummy. It has a light sweetness and a nice sharpness. It has a slight alcohol taste. I heard that Asahi rice is a low GI food, I hope this sake is also low GI 🤣.
Japanese>English
アラジン
Good morning, Maru 😃. Imanishi, you are drunk: ☺️ I'm glad it's low GI... but the GI of sake seems to be determined more by the brewing process than the ingredients, unfortunately it's not going to beat spirits with zero sugar 🥲.

From my memory of having ripe apples before, I wondered if they were too sweet. I had a little bit of a bad feeling that it might be too sweet. But when I tried it, I found that it was not like that and was very tasty. It was sweet, but the acidity kept it in check, and the freshness of the sake was pleasant. The good thing about the hanpukai, in my opinion, is that it gives you a choice without regard to your own tastes or anything else. Good to drink Koshi apple 🍎😁.

My son and I went to an Othello practice organized by the children's association. What a surprise when a 4th grade girl offered to play against me😳 Oh, girl, you're going to cry, aren't you? Is it okay? I was like, "I'll cry..." and then we started to play... It was my uncle who cried 😭 On a day like this, it's all about the dry sake 🍶. It's been a long time since I've had a sake that really hit the spot 🤣. It has the sweetness of rice, but it's sharp and clean! I remember her Othello was sharp too 🤣. That's a tough one, ⚪️Othello⚫️🤣

The liquor store we visited for the first time was celebrating its first anniversary, and we received a gift🎁. Sweet sake made with Okayama Hakuto yeast. Sake level is about minus 50 😳. The alcohol content is low, so I had it as an aperitif. The sweetness is a bit sticky, so it might go well with vinegared food 🧐.

Sake Tour with Sake God [Extra I never thought the day would come when I could drink at home... Rafa-san asked me, "Do you want to drink 🐢? I couldn't believe my eyes 📲. I couldn't believe my eyes🤣. We bartered and at that time he suggested a sake tour. Thank God for sake 🙏. After opening the bottle, I took a sniff👃. Enraptured by the fruity aroma of muscat and peach😍. Poured it into a glass and took a sip. Yes, it's delicious. Light sweetness, good acidity, it's a dangerous sake that goes down smoothly 😁. Since we were in the mood, we decided to compare Hitogokochi with Mikotsuru. Mikotsuru is a robust type with deep sweetness, while Shinshu Kamerei is a smooth type with light sweetness. Both are delicious, but I prefer the Shinshu Kamerei. The side dish was a Japanese dish of grated radish and Nametake mushrooms from Nagano Prefecture 😁. It was a wonderful sake banquet. Once again, thank you Rafapara 🙇.

Sake Tour with the Sake God (4) The last stop is Kinoshita Meishakuten, aka Kinoshita the Treasure Hunt. The system allows you to purchase rare sake with points, but sometimes rare sake can be purchased without points, which is a wonderful store that tickles a drinker's fancy 🤣. As a newcomer, I quietly went for the regular sake 🤣. I was very satisfied with this sake, which is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake of Mikotsuru, which is not available in my area of activity! Sake from Shinshu is of a very high level 😳. After the juicy deep sweetness, it is crisp with sourness. Almost no bitterness. It's so good 😋. All of the restaurants Rafa told me about are great places that I want to go to. The Hokusetsu area is famous for its good living environment, but it is also a great environment for drinkers🤣. Thank you Rafa 🙇.

Maru-san good morning😃 I enjoyed it too, so thank you😊Gokotsuru tastes quite different depending on the sake rice, so I'd like to try other sake rice too 😌.

Last day of GW. Everyone is opening good sake, so I'm opening a good one too 🫧. As usual, it's very energetic 😅. It's got a nice, fluffy foam, and it's exquisite, which can be either dry or sweet. Oh, I love the heavenly frog 🐸❤️ Our family is no different, Takoyaki 🐙. Kansai people cook with more water than the prescribed amount 💪, right? We use 1.5 times the amount of water 💦. The dough is too hard with the specified amount of water. That doesn't make for a crispy takoyaki. That makes it more difficult to bake, but that's the Kansai people. I'm talking about how many takoyaki I've baked at home. By the way, my wife also loves tengaeru, and she had another gobble 😅. It's 8%!

This is my first time at Kihong Crane. I had vaguely heard of the name, but I almost bought a bottle. It says "summer sake" so I thought it was a dry and refreshing type, but it was a sweet pineapple🍍‼️ I thought it was a dry and refreshing type. Delicious..." With all due respect, I wasn't expecting that much, so I was very pleasantly surprised 😆. I'm also happy with the super high cosmetics price of around 1,400 yen for a No. 4 jar☺️ It just happened to be sold at my usual store, so I'm going to do a proper check on the stores that carry it. If I can't find it, I'll ask bouken 🤣. On Children's Day 🎏, Rafapapa invited us to visit a sake store in the Hokusetsu area 😁. As a souvenir, we were given magnificent onions from Rafa's field (3rd photo)! They were sweet, tender, and very tasty 😋! We were also given a recipe for the leaves, which went well with the sake👍. We had a very exciting and satisfying day touring the sake stores, all of which had things I normally can't buy. Thank you so much, Rafa! My fridge is already full, so I'll keep drinking and posting 🤣.

Hi Maru, good evening😃. We had a great time touring the liquor store 🤣Thank you for the onions 🧅 and the food 😊Let's go again👍I should have gone to the store that has abe...it's actually the closest one to my house and I can walk there 😁.

Hi Rafa😊 I enjoyed your tour of the liquor stores! Do some of the stores have abe? The number of liquor stores in your area of activity is amazing😳 I'll be sure to explore the stores in South Osaka too!

This is it, isn't it? Kiho cranes that have been talked about in Uchiuchi Good morning Maru-san🌄. And it's a very fleshy green onion! 🤤. I want to try this in a nabe and eat it with ponzu sauce 🤤‼

Hello, sake orchid 😊. Yes yes I mean this one. It's really good👍Who's knee is it in your opinion, Mr. Lan? I think it's Yasuko Matsuyuki just because it's in Saga. 🤣 Rafa's onions are also very good 😋.

The last Tobi Tsubame was not one of my favorites, so I took my revenge on Tobirazumi. It is surprisingly refreshing and not too sweet for a sake with a sake strength of -9.0. It is labeled as a "during dinner" sake, but I think it is more of an after-dinner sake. Either way, this was delicious 🙏.

I wanted to drink dry, so I bought this one. Shinkame🐢 was my first brand 😊. It's a summer sake, so it's easy to drink and dry. Dry sake is dry and delicious 😋. I had a craving for taro, so I had it with powdered taro. It goes well with the dry sake. I always think I would eat more taro if it was easier to peel 😆.

Hi Maru 😃 Sometimes you want to drink dry sake, don't you? My fridge at home is about 30% dry sake 🍶🤗It would go great with taro 😋I would love to bring some sake 🍶 and go out to eat 😆.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌘. I sometimes want to drink dry sake just to get myself drunk 🤣. Taro is gentle and simple and goes really well with sake👍. From Tochigi to Sakai, Osaka, Yumachi and Holder 🤣.

Hi Maru 🐦. I only tasted it but I remember being surprised at how easy it was to drink! They are delicious 😊 Why don't you boil them and then peel them? Wash them, remove the head a little and put them in water with a little salt. You can peel them with your hands 😉.

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌒. It was a refreshing and delicious sake 😋. Is it ok? I revealed the secret of taro 🤣but that's very nice information 🤩I'll try it! I'm so glad you and Pon and I could exchange cooking tips 😊.

Completely jacked 🤣. The colors have a mad scientist feel 🫀. Now, I wondered what kind of bad taste it would have, but it has lovely flavors like strawberry and lychee😳. The sourness and bitterness is glimpsed behind the zesty sweetness. Isn't it quite delicious⁉ On the fourth day, the sweetness, sourness, and bitterness are all tightly combined, making it more to my liking. ‼️ It was a tsundere type sake.

Good evening, Maru-san 🦉. I wouldn't know this is sake if you didn't tell me 😆 The taste is...tsundere 🤣I'd like to try it as it sounds very much to my liking ❣️Tochigi's sake is very wide-ranging!

It's been a while since we had a lunchtime drink as a couple 🥂. They had sake on tap, so we had some after our beer 🍶. The sake was at room temperature, so although it was dry, we could taste the umami of the rice. It was at room temperature, so although it was dry, the flavor of the rice was very good. It was a treat 😋.

Good evening, brother Maru. I'm interested in the Koshinotaka (Echigo-Taka) that is placed with the dishes that don't seem to be paired with Sake. The owner's selection is very astringent 😊.

Good morning, Maru-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀. I envy you and your wife for having a lunchtime drink 😁. I didn't expect Fukui "Echino Taka" to be placed in the stylish food and atmosphere of the restaurant 😲. It seems to go well with the flavor of meat dishes 😋.

Hello Miss Peco 😊 I found Harushika, Masumi, Washin, etc. in the store! I thought it goes well with western food too. I drink sake even with curry. ☝️

Hi Gyve 😊. I had never heard of Koshinotaka, but when I was choosing a sake, I saw Gyve👓's face, so I decided to go with this one! As you said, I think it went best with meat dishes 🙌

There's no sake in the fridge... No, there is, but I don't want to open this one yet! But I want to drink sake! Eeeeee open the bottle🤣 It has a berry aroma, slightly gassy, tart and sweet on the tongue, and it cuts through quickly. Jikin is delicious 😋. I'll try to keep a good inventory in the future😅.

Senkyo's Dobrok. I'm not a big dobrok drinker, but I've always been curious about it😙. I was so excited and bought it! I was so excited to buy it 💰. The result was a great decision 🙌! The top clear is banana squash🍌🫧. I've never had anything like that and I don't even know if there is such a thing 🤣 Please let me have some more supernatant 🙏 but I closed the lid and put it on the table and it automatically stirred 💃. I felt that the lees mixture increased the acidity strangely. This one is delicious as well 😋. The last piece of rice grain is very sour 😆. I thought there are some strange good sake 🍶.

Good evening, brother Maru. Banana squash 🍌🫧 seems to be an unlikely flavor, I don't know what it is, but it sounds delicious🤣The collaboration of banana stability and acidity with a vibrant and lively taste that does not make the wish of the top layer come true 😋I'm curious to try it...

Good evening, Maru-san 🦉. I see that the supernatant is the tastiest sake! This year, I've been stirring all the sake from the beginning, so when I hear this, I regret that I've done something wasteful 😅.

Hi Maru 😃 It's true that the taste changes between the supernatant and after stirring 😊I also put it on my desk and gobble it up 💃! I'm sure it was a very intense Ori dance 💃 that brought up the lumps of Ori 😁I can enjoy this bottle until the last grain of rice 🤗.
