Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (9) Sake brought by a regular customer I know it tastes good, but I don't have a chance to drink it very often. Sweet and tasty, but with a bitter taste. According to Choroki's review, it is better after the second day than freshly opened. I'm drinking this much in the first hour, so I'm getting drunker than usual😇. I wrote "petit" because it's a small group, but the amount we're drinking isn't petit at all 🤣.

bouken, sorry for repeating 🙏. 9 glasses in 1 hour 🤣I knew it would be a lot of drinks since we have strong members this time 😁The snacks are good too so it will go on 😉. I'm curious about Yamagata Masamune since I haven't had it yet: ❣️

Hi Pon 😊 I think you were drinking at a fast pace in the beginning because of the short time interval between when you took the pictures 😅. Yamagata Masamune is quite sweet and fruity so I think you'll like it 😆.

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting 8 I would never buy a very dry sake from Akirika myself😅. Sake degree +16😳 I can only drink as much as I can outside 😁. The top tank was opened in Jan 24 and the date is Feb 25 so it's been sitting in the brewery for a year 🤔. It's heavy and has a strong umami, but it's spicy! I drank it warmed, but Akizuka is more effective when it's heated up. The sake warmer that you heat up on the stove looks so cute! The fourth photo was taken by pyonpyon! Who wants takikomi gohan? I raised my hand but didn't get it 🤣. So I asked pyonpyon to share some with me 🙏!

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (7) Eikofuji Platinum, which I had not had a chance to drink until now. The rice is Yuki-no-Megami with a milling ratio of 33%. I think it is sweeter than Jukinmu. I have never had this one, so I'm glad I did. I don't dislike it, but I don't drink fruity sake that you can tell just by putting your nose close to the glass anymore.

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (6) This time, instead of the restaurant's normal business hours (it is normally closed on regular holidays), we were invited to a nukazuke (pickles) party by the regulars. I've been curious about the sake ever since I entered the restaurant. I opened the bottle now, because I couldn't taste it if I kept it for later! Sweet and fruity, but with bitterness in the second half! The way the bitterness comes out in the second half is very Tasake-like. Modern but not too modern 🤔.

Good evening, Mr. Robin. This was delicious 😋. It's pretty expensive to buy and I'm glad I got to drink it 😁. I think people have a strong image of Tasake = special junmai, so there is quite a gap between special junmai and other tastes 🤔.

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (5) It's been quite a while since I've had Morishima! Sweet and tasty, but not too modern, with a little bit of sake flavor. Morishima Sake Brewery was introduced in an article somewhere that they clean the brewery 10 times a day, and I think that keeping the brewery clean is directly related to the taste 🤔.

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (2) Next is Jukinmu by Eikofuji! I've been missing out on Jukinmu for a long time, so this is the first time I'm drinking it! It tasted sweet and delicious, just like Eiko-Fuji! Mr. pyonpyon said it tasted like cherries, and I thought so too! The fourth picture shows tomatoes, yams, rape blossoms, and eringi mushrooms! These are all pickles 🥒. I especially liked the eringi and yam 😋.

Good morning, bouken! I had an image that Jukinmu is a sake rice from Kyushu and is often used in Wakanami, but recently I have suddenly started to hear about it in sake from other regions as well😇. Your pickles look delicious 😇

pyonpyon, thank you for your hard work the other day 🙇 I'm jealous of Robin who is a regular at your restaurant. I was so drunk in the second half of the party that I forgot to take many pictures this time 💦I envy you Robin, a regular customer at this homey restaurant 😆. The label tasted like spring 🌸.

Good evening, Mr. Yasube. Eikoufuji is interesting because it uses rice from different regions 😁. I first learned about Jukinmu when I drank Wakanami 😊. Nukazuke (pickles) and sake go well together 😋.

Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting (1) First Off-line Meeting in Kobe At Robin's suggestion, we had a small group this time as a trial. We arrived early, so we met up with Robin and Masha at Ikuta Shrine and went to a bar under the elevated railway tracks of Sannomiya Station for the first meeting. I drank draft beer and gari chuuhai. We moved on to the venue, Sake snacks and auns. The participants were Robin Masha Mr. pyonpyon Mr. Yoohee Five of us There were a few other regulars in the restaurant At first, we toasted with "H" by Saku Impression 🍻! Fresh, sweet and delicious 😋😋. And yet quite dry. It was as good as the last time I drank it! There were two other Saku Impression's, G and N, but the owner told me to finish the Saku after opening it 😁.

It was sold at a very low price, in the 600 yen range, at a business supermarket that is strong in Japanese sake. Junmai was in the 500 yen range. I was able to purchase it with information from Aladdin🙏. Symphony Yoshida Sake Brewery didn't show up, so I registered at Yoshida Sake Brewery... Symphony Yoshida Shuzo is a joint venture between Yoshida Shuzo of Eiheiji Hakuryu and a Hong Kong company, Symphony This brewery is supposed to make relatively high-priced sake for export 😅... It's sweet and sour, with a bit of spiciness coming along with the sourness in the second half. It's quite a unique sake. Citrus sweetness and sourness I wonder if this is a one time fire-brewed sake. It is a little different from the fire-brewed sake sold in supermarkets. Maybe it's unfiltered or undiluted. It's somewhere between modern and classic. The taste is great for the price, but there must be some special circumstances 🤔. It's like a dry white wine, but I wonder if that's the quality of the wine since they are making it for export. I think I like this one a lot. It's getting a little bit peculiar after a few days... It has a bitter and nutty flavor, and a little bit like a lactic acid bacteria drink. It's been 9 days since I opened the bottle, but I think the nutty taste is lessened and the sweet taste is increased 🤔.

Hi Ponchan ☀☀☀. I saw a lot of major sake on the same shelf, but it's cheaper 😅. Is it a Chikuma-Nishiki pattern of Donki or did they have a surplus of sake and it just flowed in? Either way, it must be an irregular sake 🤔.

I was impressed with the Miyamanishiki Hi-Kiri that I had previously tasted, so I tried the nama-shu as well. It is fruity, sweet and delicious, but a little refreshing. It also seems to have more acidity. The hi-ire version seems more cohesive, but I personally prefer the nama-zake. It tasted good when it was first opened, but on the third day, it's not so good. The bitterness is getting much stronger. I think I would prefer the more stable fire-roasted version.

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (2) Continued from ①. We drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Gohyakumangoku The atmosphere is similar to what we have had so far, but a little spicier. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Fukunoka This one is also quite sweet and tasty. I've never seen this label before and thought it looked unusual. Aizu Homare Yozakura Junmai Ginjo This is said to be a spring sake. It has a classic flavor among the ones we drank this time. Classic but light! Lychee nigori sake The lychee flavor is in full bloom. I thought it would be hard to sell it because I think lychee is not to be liked or disliked. I like lychee myself 😘. Strawberry nigori sake I liked this one the best out of all the liqueurs. It's more strawberry than sake-like, and it's delicious! Chocolate Nigori It is very chocolatey, but it also has a strong alcoholic taste. I was so confused because there were so many sweet ones, but I bought the Fuku-no-Ka. I wondered if the brewer was from Fukushima, but it seems he is a resident of Tokyo. It seems that it was planned to coincide with an event at a department store in the Kansai region.

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (1) The day after Harukas, we had a tasting of Aizu Homare at the nearby Ikoma Sake Shop! I didn't take notes, so I'm going to split this post into two parts because there were so many kinds of sake 😅. I drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Kitakata Yamadanishiki I think they called it Utsukushima Yume Yeast. It's pretty sweet and fresh tasting. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki I think they said 1801 yeast. Fruity and quite sweet. Sold out when I was there. Aizu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki from Banshu It tastes like a richer version of Junmai Ginjo. Kitakata Terroir Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu Yume no Kaori Fire-brewed but raw and muscat-like Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yume no Kaori This is also fresh and sweet. I think it tastes similar to Karahashi. Yamadanishiki is the same, but the label is a bit similar too 🤔. Aizu Homare Yamadanishiki and Yume no Aroma are available only at two stores, a sake store in Saitama and Ikoma Sake Shop, since they were just released.

I thought it looked unusual and bought it at a business supermarket The Akita dog label is cute🐾. There was some lees in the bottom of the bottle, so I mixed it and poured it out. It was thin and cloudy, but no gassy feeling. It's a clear and fruity sake, but a little thin. I would like a little more umami 🤔. I also feel a little lactic acidity.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑭ Last but not least, Shojo, it's been a super long time since I've been to Shojo. I think it's been since we tasted it at Harukas in 2019 or so. According to Nemuchi's advance information, all of them are aged for one year this time! I drank Zendoiki Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Clean and a little fruity, with a sense of ripeness. Myodo-ki Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu It has just the right amount of sweetness, but also has a strong umami flavor. Gogo Onigami Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu It felt lighter on the palate, but not as sweet as the first two. Koukaku Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Forgot to take a picture💦. I bought and drank this in the past. I reviewed it as nutty back then, but this time it seemed pretty sweet and tasty. I think I drank some of the later demons too 🤔. I couldn't talk to the brewer because there were people there all the time talking 😅 There are many more breweries I haven't tried but that's it for this time!

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑬ ONKYO Booth I was curious about Kunimei, so I tried to drink it. They said they didn't prepare the one without music playing, so I couldn't compare... It was sweeter and a little more modern than the Junmai I've bought at Yodobashi in the past. I was surprised because I imagined it to be rough and dry. I don't know if it's the effect of the music or if it originally tastes like this 🤔.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO ⑫ ONKYO Booth It was hard to find Miyoshikiku, so I asked for another sake, and the one that came up was Yamatan Masamune. I could clearly taste the difference. The one with music had a more rounded taste. I guess the vibration has the same effect as aging. I heard that he had them listen to music for about 6 months. I heard that the taste of alcohol submerged in the ocean also changes due to the effect of the waves, so vibrations do have an effect on alcohol 😳. Nice Masamune it was👍

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO10 A sales person who visited Icoma Sake Shop last year was there. We drank Josen Honjozo I already drink it at home, but they said it can also be heated, so we compared cold and heated sake! At home I drink it at room temperature, but it doesn't change much at any temperature, so I guess it's versatile? Matsu no Hana Junmai Sake Classic but easy to drink Shiboritate Honjozo Nama Sake I drank this at home a while ago and compared cold sake and heated sake. Surprisingly, the heated sake tasted better! Honjozo Nama-no-Harazake This one was quite robust, but had a delicious flavor. Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake I've bought and drank this in the past, but I tasted this one too. I was not as impressed with this one as some of the others I drank this time. Junmai Nama-nihonjyu Shiboritate Light Nigori I forgot to take a picture💦The label has changed, but it looks like I've had this one in the past. A little spicy? Matsu no Hana Junmai Ginjo Well, it tasted a little off-flavored and the taste was subtle... Matsunohana Daiginjo Fujiki Forgot to take a picture💦. Yamadanishiki with a 40% polished rice ratio. The taste is a little different from the others, probably because the rice is different. Tamakae is not suitable for high milling because it tends to crack when polished, so it seems to be Yamada-Nishiki. The salesman was very interesting and unique.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO ⑨ Miyogiku, a brewery in the Kansai region but rarely had a chance to drink it. I drank Junmai Yamato What do you recommend? When I asked him, he said this is the first one. It seems to be a basic sake of the brewery. I imagined it to be a classic sake, but it is not so, and easy to drink. Relatively sweet Gohyakumangoku Junmai-Ginjo Nakadori Unfiltered Nama-Shu Gohyakumangoku Much sweeter and tastier than I imagined. Would have bought it if I had visited first 🤔. MIYORIKIKIKU Mizumoto Brewed with Nara Uruhashi Yeast I expected 🫶 since it's mizu-hashimoto, but it didn't impress me much... Hakusu Daiginjo It had a gorgeous ginjo aroma and rich taste! MIYOKIKU LIGHT Kijoshu Jungin Brewing It is a kijoshu but a little light. MIYOKIKU STRONG Kijoshu Jungin-brewed Alcohol 17%. I've had this one in the past. I don't know if this time it was a draft or not, but it tasted just as sweet and rich as the last time. They asked me which one was my favorite, the kijoshu or the kijoshu. I said STRONG 😁.
