Purchased at Fukuyama station during a trip to Shimanami and Kurashiki 😄
I was looking for the "Fukuyama" from Tenpoichi that I drank at a pub in Fukuyama, but couldn't find it 😅.
It is also dry, easy to drink and delicious 😋.
Memorandum of drinking outside (4)
We ordered one half gou of Hakugakusen, which is our favorite sake, and also Natsumushi, which we had not had enough of when we drank at home.
But when the bottle of sake came out, it was "Umimatsu" 🤪 We had an unopened bottle of "Natsumushi" waiting for us at home, so we drank it for the first time 😅 I think I like "Natsumushi" more than "Hakugakusen".
Outside drinking memorandum (3)
I don't remember the last time I drank Koshi, so this is my first time 😅.
It has a little bit of gasiness and a little bit of sweetness...
Memorandum of Drinking Outside (2)
My first drink 😄
I remember this one was also refreshing and easy to drink 😅.
There were a few sweet sake, but not as many as I expected 😂.
Memorandum of drinking outside (1)
I saw this sake at a liquor store that I often visit recently and it was very popular at restaurants, so I had it as my first drink 😄 It has a sake degree of +15.6, but it was not that dry.
The sake bottle was not served at the restaurant, so I asked them to serve me a bottle and took a picture in a hurry, so the picture is blurry 🤣.
The food was the same as usual because I can't eat seafood 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Maa 😃.
I'm a sakéwa drinker and I'm always asking "May I have a picture of the sake bottle?" I ask when I'm out drinking 😊 but I'm in a hurry when the waiter is waiting 😅.
Dry sake for this assortment of tsumami! I like it 😚.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's aruaru if you don't get a bottle of sake even if the restaurant promotes sake 😅.
It's hard to tell in some restaurants 🤣.
It's always a dry sake basically because it always turns out to be a knob like this 😚.
It was the middle day of a three-day weekend and I had no plans, so I went to Himeji with my wife on a whim 😀.
We went to Himeji with my wife on a whim since we didn't have any plans 😀 It was the middle of a three-day weekend and there were so few people there that it was hard to believe it was a three-day weekend.
I saw Shingo Tsurumi on TV yesterday and he visited a sake brewery and drank some Kenkunichi 😄.
Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't serve sake bottles, so I'll just post the menu 😅.
It's a clear, dry and easy to drink sake with a nice sweetness 😋!
Banshu's specialty Hine Pon and Himeji Oden as a side dish 🍢!
Hello, Maa-san!
It's good to travel as you wish 🎵.
I've only seen Kenkunichi-san at Sake no Wasa, but it looks like it would be delicious with your meal 😋.
Hello, ma-ki-chan!
It's only about an hour to Himeji, so it's not really a trip, but it's nice to go to a place you don't usually go to 😄I certainly didn't get lost because I came across it the day after I saw it on TV, even though I don't see it very often 😋.
Hi Maa 😃
A couple traveling together! Sounds nice ‼️ we have tomorrow off so we're thinking of going somewhere 🤔 but it's so hot 🥵 we might not be able to get out of the air conditioner room 😅.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's nice and easy to go out without a purpose 😁 in this heat, you have to go into a mall or underground or something 🥵.
Tomorrow I have a reservation at my first izakaya that has local sake 🤗.
I found a bottle of "Bakuren" which I usually don't see at a nearby liquor store that doesn't have that much local sake and doesn't even show up on the Sake-no-Wawa location search, so I bought it without hesitation even though it was a full bottle 😀.
It's supposed to be super dry, but it's not just spicy, it has a nice subtle sweetness and umami 🤣.
Finish with a souvenir momiji manju and 😋!
Good morning, ma-ki!
I also remember drinking it outside before and it was so good that I bought a bottle 😅 I can't pair it with sushi because I almost never eat seafood, but it's a good sake to go with anything 😄.

I bought a bottle of Sakurazumi in spring at the brewery and it was so delicious that I checked out a distributor in Hyogo and bought it 😀 It has a little more gasiness than Sakurazumi.
It is a little more gaseous than Sakurazumi, with a sweet taste at the beginning but it is sharp and dry at the end, also very tasty 😋.
I don't like gaseous or sweet tastes, but for some reason I'm into Hakugakusen 🤣.
I would love to try the recently released "Umimatsu" 😋.
Hello, Maa-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I see you opened "Natsumushi" right away 🥰.
Personally, I think the reason why "Hakugakusen" is so easy to drink is because it has sweetness, but the acidity is so clean and sharp that you don't feel the sweetness too strongly 🤔.
Hi Jive, good evening 🌒.
I've been trying to broaden my horizons after reading your posts and reviews on sakewa, and I thought it would be great if it was not only spicy but also sweet and umami, yet sharp and easy to drink 😋 "Hakugaku Sen" is exactly what I'm looking for 😊.
I bought it in May at Iwai Kotobuki together with a bottle of Hakugakuzen summer sake 🍶.
Finally opened in June😅
My first summer sake from my favorite Kido. It has more acidity than I expected and a bitterness that comes afterwards. It's not what I expected from a summer sake 😅.
Hello, Mr. Maa.
I see you bought "Hakudakesen Natsumushi" ✨.
We've just started releasing another summer sake, "Hakugakuzen Umimatsu" 🤣.
I feel the design is in sync with "Kido" 🥰.
Hi Gyve!
I opened a bottle of "Natsumushi" yesterday and it was delicious, so I'd love to try "Umimatsu" 😋.
The liquor store where I bought the "Natsumushi" a week ago seems to have it in stock, but I didn't have a chance to go near there and was wondering 😂.
Friday's Sannomiya drinking
Closing at "Uraoregyo" and today's sake 😀.
I found out that I was drinking heated sake to close out the day 🤣.
A perfect reminder 😀.
After this, we had a standing drink (no sake) and curry udon for the real finish 🤪.
Friday Night Sannomiya Drinking (6)
The third drink at Uraoregyo 😋.
I remember seeing this place on a trip to Fukuyama and telling him I should have drunk it, so it must have been good 😋.
