Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025 (7) Sake brought by Wakata & Yuki (1) Haruyo in the rainfall, they said it was just released a few days ago at the time of the off-line meeting! Since the incident with the ramen shop, we've seen more and more of them. Many people have been posting about this sake recently! Slightly effervescent and sweet with a gentle taste. It's a Shunyo, but I don't think I got much of a 4MMP feeling from it. Well, sometimes when it rains and you casually pick it up and look at the price you'll be surprised😅.

Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025⑥. Sake brought by Luteltemi. I think he said it was aged sake🤔. I remember tasting and buying Miyama Kiku at a department store a long time ago. It doesn't say the rice polishing ratio, so I wonder if it's a regular sake. Maybe because it's an aged sake, it's deep and full-bodied. It's a little heavy in the mouth. Everyone said it should be warmed up 😁. Nemuchi-san seems to have tasted it and wrote that they only bring it to events and don't sell it on the internet!

Good evening, bouken-san. 🌜️ I met the brewer at the Hankyu event and he was selling the product saying "I only bring it when I'm there and you can't buy it online" 😊I met him twice and he said it both times so I'm sure of it 😁.

Nemuchi-san, good evening 🌃 I searched for this sake but there's not much information about it, so your post was helpful 🙏. I didn't know it was such a special sake, I should have tasted it with a little more bite😅.

I thought it was the percentage of polished rice💦. Something really sour. Like vinegar 🤣. This is a Mai-Bijin 🤣. This is totally 🫶. I wonder if anyone is mad that it's 🫶 even though it's in the same price range as Matsu no Tsukasa 🤔.

Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025④. Sake I brought This is the first sake brewed with Omachi by Sensuke. Not from Okayama, but from Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. It came with a box, but I threw it away because I originally planned to drink it at home😅. Everyone said it was different from Senzuke's usual sake. Maybe it's because it's fire-aged, but it tastes a little more subdued. There is also a draft version of this, but the draft is only available in one bottle... I tasted the draft when I bought it, but it tasted more flashy than the hi-ire. I think people probably liked the raw one better 🤔 because it was more of a yo-yosu-like strain. Next time please release the raw in shugou bottles too 🙏.

Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025 (3) Sake brought by Maru-san The atmosphere of the label and the specs on the back label look pretty expensive 🤔. It tastes very beautiful and classy. Maybe I'm overreacting, but it looks like the kind of sake you'd expect to find at a high-end restaurant like Ishidaya or Nizaemon. In fact, Matsunoji seems to be served at upscale restaurants in Kyoto. I asked about the price later and it was a really nice one 😳

Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025②. Sake brought by Rafa Rafa and Masha go to the same liquor store, so they had a meeting before the party to make sure they didn't have the same drinks 😙. I gave up on saving points for this kind of sake, so I don't have a chance to drink it unless I go out or bring my own 😅. Fruity, elegant, sweet and tasty. It's fruity, elegant, sweet, umami, and a little bitter 😋. It's freshly opened and Jikin is as good as ever even if it's fire-aged 😋. I think Oumachi is the best fire-aged Jikin I've had in the past 🤔. I borrowed the photo of the food from Umaisan 😊. Rafa-san is in the picture, which is a standard offline meeting style 😁.

Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025①. On the last Saturday in June, we had an off-line meeting at a certain place in Sakai City! The participants were Uma Uma Uma Uma Rafa papa Masha Yasube Kaorin Ms. Maru Luteltemi Mr. Wakata Yuki Mr. Yoohee My 11 members The place was Umaisan's favorite dining bar! They usually don't serve sake, but they prepared some appetizers that go well with sake 🙇. The owner kindly offered us a toast with Czech beer, Urquell on draft 🍻. The power of good food is great. ✨️ The first bottle was brought by Yasube and Kaorin. It's Viridian 😍. I feel like it tastes different every time I drink it🤔. Clear, sweet and sour.... I think it's sweeter than the one I drank at last year's year-end party. It also tasted like a thin noble brew 🤔 I thought if the taste is so blurred, don't put it under the same product name 🙄.

I bought it because not many people posted about it in Echizen Cape. Purchased at Icoma It has a nice and cool taste. The balance of sweet and spicy is really good. I think there are a lot of Echizen-misaki that you can drink forever. The closer to room temperature, the sweeter the taste comes out. Banana-like 🍌.

New brands handled by Icoma Sake Shop Currently there is no other distributor in Hyogo. Mystery Chee-ya used to carry it... Chilli and slightly effervescent. Fruity and juicy fruitiness. The final impression is that it fades out with a gaseous and bitter taste with a hint of sourness. I haven't had Nanamizu for a long time, but it's still delicious! I love drinking Tochigi in June too 🥰(I posted it in July though 😅) I can now buy shichimizu in my neighborhood, so my love for Tochigi might increase 🤔.

June's Ikoma Tasting was at Shudzuki! I'll skip the ones I bought and the ones I drank in the past, but here's what I picked up! As the name suggests, it is rich and has a gentle sweetness. I think it becomes a little more refreshing when warmed up to lukewarm. Personally, I enjoyed it at room temperature. For some reason, this sake matched well with the Pakistani beans that came with the entrée 🤣.

Purchased from the same liquor store as Black Kabuto The store owner's wife? It seems to be a favorite of the shop's wife. It is stored in the snow room for 4 months. It has a round and smooth taste. It is not the modern type, but it is sweet and delicious. It is very rare to find a raw stored sake 🤔. Most of them are watered down and have a light taste.

I've been drinking Manazuru but this is my first time at Tabayashi. New brand handled by Icoma Sake Shop. First time in Hyogo 😳. It has a slight sweetness and is refreshing like a summer sake, but it has a strong umami and core flavor. When you take it out of the refrigerator and the temperature rises a little, you can drink it by itself.

Purchased at a supermarket in Rokko-do It's pretty sweet, but not the modern kind, but the rice sweet and tasty type. It has a sharp taste or a little bit of a zing to it. I think it tastes beautiful for a rice polishing ratio of 70%. I bought it at a supermarket, but it's even better than I expected. The more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. It's great cold, but I think it would be better if it were lukewarm 🤔. The third one, after I posted about the Tochigi booth, my recommendations were full of Tochigi sake 🤣.

I got this at the Kokusyu Sake Fair. It said that any opened sake was 1,000 yen, so I bought an old turtle that I liked at the fair. I was a bit confused because the bottle was already opened, but the tank was full. I was a bit confused, but I thought maybe they sold it as opened because no one has a license to sell liquor 🤔. Some prefectures were selling it at the booth, but I guess they didn't expect to sell it there. Hachitan Nishiki and Momiji yeast are used. Fruity, apple and pear-like. A little gassy with a smooth mouthfeel. A little spicy at the end. I can't find the same label when I checked... New product? Pineapple-like when the temperature rises. There's a product called Red Turtle with the same specs, and I wonder if it's a renewal of that? Old Turtle seems to be renewing the labels of their other products, too. But I can't find much information about it... I feel it's very sweet when I drink Morinori Natsu-shu after drinking this... I think it tastes better when it is close to room temperature than when it is fresh out of the fridge. When I drank it at a national sake fair, it was a little colder than room temperature. When the gassiness goes away, it becomes more like a fruity dry sake.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part78 Fukushima ③. The last part of the National Sake Fair... Kinsho Sake Brewery in Fukushima City! I've been to the Osaka department store a few times, but this is the first time I've had a drink there. I didn't buy it because I thought the overall price was too high 😅. Polishing ratio 55%, Yume-no-Kou 15%, 2400 yen It was sweet and delicious. Maybe I should try it next time I visit a department store 🤔. I was annoyed when I left the venue to go to the restroom because the light of fireflies started playing and I was told that the restrooms were closed 😒. I met up with Eezy and we took the subway halfway home together 😊. It was two days full of brain juice. 158 warehouses in 2 days? Thank you to Thank you so much to Mr. Umaumai, Mr. Nemuchi, and Mr. Iji for sharing with us this time 🙇. I guess next year it will be back in Tokyo, but some people didn't know it was in Osaka, so there was a complete lack of publicity. The New Sake Competition open sake tasting is still in Tokyo, and that's a completely bad idea. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are looking for that... I guess they combined it with the Shochu-Awamori Fair, so the admission fee was higher, but I think it would have been better to make it a separate event and make it cheaper 🤔.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part77 Fukushima 2 Sato Sake Brewery in Koriyama City I've bought Fujinoi in the past at an antenna store that's only open on weekdays. Polishing ratio 40%, Yamadanishiki 16%, Sake degree +5, 3000 yen The official website has not been updated, and the label is a little bit different from the current one, showing a classic type. Gorgeous and fruity 😋. I personally have a good impression of Fujinoi, including the one I drank at home, so I'd like to try some fresh sake if there is any!

I think they had it in the Fukushima antenna store which is only open on weekdays 🤔. I looked up the name of the brewery and it seems to be run by a female master brewer. Polishing ratio 60%, Yume no Kou 14.5 degrees, 1430 yen It is more refreshing and modern than I expected. It has a light taste due to the low alcohol content.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part75 Gunma 6 Mr. Takai in Fujioka City! I think they had closed their brewery for some reasons and were shipping out their stock, but I saw on SNS that they have started brewing again. I see that they have also released a draft sake. I drank a bottle of nama sake about 4 years ago when the warehouse was already closed, so it was a slightly matured one. Polishing ratio 55%, domestic rice, 15 degrees, Sake degree +2, Acidity 1.6, 1401 yeast? 1747 yen I thought it would be matured, so I was disappointed with its clean taste and no sense of maturity😅. I wonder if there are any liquor stores far from Takatsuki station or south of Kyoto station 🤔.
