新政の酸っぱさを味わってから、日本酒の沼にはまる。 地元岩手では、きぶね、福來屋、山田酒店あたりから購入するが、矢島酒店やはせがわ酒店のオンラインにてまとめ買い。 盛岡のGin蔵で、大勢でいろんな日本酒をまわし飲みするのが趣味なのだが、武漢肺炎のせいでやや自粛。 日本酒の美味しさを知ってもらいたくて、ひたすら買って配る日々。 現在、家には50本くらい在庫がある。息子たちと飲めるのはいつになるか。

Lastly, Kozaemon's Summer Gin. Finished at 14.5 degrees alcohol by volume, it feels very easy to drink. 👍 No, it really is a high level of summer sake. In the past, sake sales would drop in the summer, but thanks to the high level of summer sake, we are thankful that we can maintain sake sales all year round, said the wife of Tokibune. 😁 Actually, there was a summer beer party🍻 at another place yesterday, but only my place had a lineup of sake that I brought in, and even the toast was sparkling sake! (LOL) I sank the young employees who were grilling yakitori or stuck to the beer server into the sake swamp one after another. 👍 We were lucky to have a lot of low-alcohol, easy-to-drink sake, so everyone was really happy. 😁😁 The branch manager, who just transferred to the company, asked me, "When are you going to do it again?" (laugh). (lol) When I replied, "October? When I replied, "October?" he looked at me with a blatant "huh? I told him that I would take care of it in September, and he looked at me like he was in trouble! I reminded him. It was a fun party! 🎉

Next was Gagakuyo's Nanpu. It is made with white malted rice and has a low alcohol content of 10.5 degrees. It's a bad guy. 😁. When you drink it, surprisingly you don't feel so much sourness. It has a low acidity and a soft mouthfeel, which makes it easy to drink. I'm already at the point where I'm getting very drunk 😁. Delicious! 🙋

Hi, I'm a new member and I'm looking for a new job! 🙋 It has been raining lightly since this morning here on the coast of Iwate Prefecture. Thanks to the typhoon 🌀, I am thankful for rain, even if it is only a feeling. 🙏 There are water shortages here and there, and if things continue as they are, there will be a rice shortage, which could be another hassle 😓. Now, continuing from last time. I brought a crop. I don't remember when or where I bought it. 😅 If it was bad, it might have been sitting in the fridge at the recipient's place for a long time. lol I thought it would have a strong, robust flavor, but it was surprisingly easy to drink. I remember that from this point on, it gradually became suspicious. I remember it became more and more suspicious 😁. Also, the Sansa Odori dance started yesterday in Morioka. This is the festival that marks the peak of summer in Iwate. After this is over, Iwate changes its atmosphere to welcome autumn at once. 😅

The fourth bottle is a sparkling from Fukkai, Nagasaki. Sparkling with a pause. (Laughs) How much bubbles do you want to drink? 😁 Fukkai has had it once and I recommend it to everyone with absolute confidence. Everyone who takes a sip says, "Oh, wow! and they say, "Oh, wow! 👍 In no time at all, it was empty. 😁 It was very delicious! The rest will be back tomorrow! 🙋

The third one is the ferry of St. Probably the first time St. It was not. 😅 I had it a while ago. I must have bought it thinking it must be delicious because it's a Watership (lol). This one is also well balanced and has a solid yet happy taste in the mouth. Delicious! 😁

The second bottle was a sparkling wine from Ki. Normally, I would have toasted this one first, but my eyes were drawn to Akabu, and I ended up having it second. (Laughs) I always have a hard time opening sparkling, and this one was no exception. 😅 The taste is more refreshing than I expected. It was slightly sweet and everyone was rolling their eyes. It was very tasty! 🙋

Good evening! 🙋 July will be over in no time. Yesterday, due to the earthquake on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the tsunami warning for the coastal areas of Iwate Prefecture turned into a warning, and many people were evacuated, including those who live along the coast. Fortunately, the tsunami did not reach the expected level, but the firefighters who responded to the situation had a hard time guiding people under the blazing sun and dealing with those who were being selfish. I heard that the media also had trouble with the locals as they tried to hold the images by setting up a stepladder in a small space with a thump. 😅 Now, the picture is of Jade, a limited edition sake from Akabu. We had a farewell party for a banker who was transferred to another bank. The first bottle was opened! Beautiful and refreshing acidity! Well balanced and very tasty! Our staff member dragged me into the sake swamp like this. (Laughs) Very delicious! 😁

For now, the last one to be uploaded is "Abe". It is a gift. The leasing company that we have always dealt with, you like this, don't you? He brought it to me! 🎉 I was very grateful to receive it because I have not had a chance to meet Abe. 🙇 It tastes even better than I expected. The low alcohol content makes it very easy to drink and it goes down very smoothly! The sparkling type that we have in our inventory and I just can't wait to drink it. There are 5 bottles of Sansho. 3 bottles of sparkling Niimasa. And a few bottles of Akatake and others... 😅 If tomorrow is not my day off, I have to drink while thinking about it, no matter how low the alcohol content. But the Niimasa Cosmos was ok (lol). I wonder if it will be gone nicely by Obon when my boys come home? 😅

Next is Shinsei Cosmos. A while ago, Kibune-san specially shared one with us. Since I couldn't drink Naohiko Noguchi's bottle, I decided to open a new bottle for my own taste. It was an ordinary day, but my wife is happy to drink Shinsei. 😁😁 Yes, it's delicious! Really delicious! What can I say, it's delicious! Happy and delicious! I drank it all up nicely without thinking about tomorrow, because the taste change swings so much when you leave it for a day (lol)! Very delicious! 🎉🎉🎉

Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai! It's really hot every day 💦. I had cosmos for the first time last year and it's really delicious 😋. I'm longing to drink it at home someday 😍.

Good evening, ma-ki-! I'm so sorry 🙋 ... It's been extremely hot again since last year 😱. In such a case, well chilled low alcohol sake is the best! 😁😁. We have a final weapon, my eldest son, so he can get Shinsei from time to time!

Next is the Honjozo from the Naohiko Noguchi Research Institute. I heard that it was bottled in February 2022 and left to sit for two and a half years. Without thinking, I probably bought it from Hasegawa Sake Shop online in combination. I bought it under the assumption that since it was Naohiko Nouguchi's sake, it would all be delicious. However, 20 degrees alcohol by volume was quite a tough taste. The impact was so strong that my body could not accept it. Maybe I should have drank it with carbonated water or on the rocks. I had a drinking party at my business partner's place, so I brought it there to digest 😅. There was someone there who loves dry and gusto, so I happily almost had it all to myself (giggles).

Next is Junmai Daiginjo Premium from Tasake. It is a gift. It was too good to be true, so I let it sit for a while, but I opened it as an occasional luxury. Oh, it tastes beautiful. Yes, it's beautiful. So beautiful that it's a bit boring 😅. What an extravagant selfishness! In my recent state of mind, I want a little more impact. 😁 But it was delicious!

Good evening! I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles 🙋 . It's been hot every day 😱. It seems to be almost 40℃ in Hokkaido, but it's really tough when the temperature is that high in an area that doesn't need air conditioners to begin with~! 😓 Well, I haven't uploaded any of the brands I drank while I was out and about, so I'll just cover a few of them. First is Masumi Junmai Ginjo. I had it for dinner at Sarashina Horii when I was in Tokyo. It seemed to be quite a famous restaurant and was quite crowded. The drink was a little twisted, so I casually mixed a little sudachi cider, which my wife was drinking, with it! It went well with it! 👍 I remember reading in a column that sake can be mixed with juice! So I gave it a try and I'm glad I did. I'm glad I tried it 😁. The acidity of the sudachi, the shwash of the cider, and the umami of the sake are so well balanced that it seemed to go down so smoothly that my wife was angry with me, saying, "I'm going to run out of my drink! My wife was furious with me, saying "I'm going to run out of my drink! It was delicious! 😁😁

Lastly, Yamamoto's Pure Black. The juicy sourness was not felt by the already drunk. (Laughter) We had it with takikomi-gohan (cooked rice with eel) for shime. It was very delicious! 🎉🎉🎉

The third drink is a Nagano sake, Daisetsukei. It says it is malic acid from Nagano R yeast and brewed with prolific yeast. Splendidly beautiful acidity. Gorgeous ginjo aroma. Oh no, I like it! 😁 Very tasty! 👍 The fourth photo is the grilled eel white. This is also excellent! A perfect match and happy! 😁

The second cup was a brand called Kikyuusen from Aomori. This sake is made from Aomori's "Hanabukiyuki" sake rice. This also matched the eel course. It was delicious! 🙋

Good evening! I'm sorry for the inconvenience 🙋. We were warned about the coming typhoon 🌀 and wondered what it would be like, but it passed smoothly. It's cloudy and a bit muggy today on the coast of Iwate Prefecture. I went to the beach to do some errands, but it was so cold in the summer heat. 😱 Well, we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant called "Agagi" in Tokyo. The eel is excellent, so we had a variety of them again! 👍 And the first cup was a Chiba sake called Fukusuku. The aroma had a ginjo aroma, but the taste was more robust than I expected. Overall, it goes well with the strong flavors. The fourth photo is an eel burger. This is also very tasty! 🎉 Happy start! 🙋

Next, Akaban Omachi Special Junmai from Rimori Shuzo. Rimori Shuzo is handled by Kibune-san, so I had some idea of what to expect from the sake. Personally, I found it to have a robust flavor. Since I was already in a drunken state, I could not discern the Omachi character. 😱. I decided on omakase and it was quite generous, too much for an older person. 😅

Good evening! Good evening 🙋 It has been hot day after day, but today the coastal area of Iwate Prefecture is much cooler with a beach breeze! 👍 The wind blowing over the cold Oyashio tide cools the ground at once. Down 10℃ from the previous day! 🎉🎉🎉 I don't move the air conditioner or fan! 👍👍 If you are not good at it, you can turn on the fan heater if you are caught in the middle of a mountain stream. 😱😱 Last year, the yama-see did not come and the people on the beach went through hell! 😱 I wonder if they put a cooler on 😅 Well, I haven't posted for a while, so here's one from when I was in Tokyo a while ago. At a sushi restaurant in Ningyocho. I ordered omakase and chose a brand I didn't know. Gassan" Junmai by Shimane Prefecture's Yoshida Shuzo. It is said to be soft and umami, but I personally found it a bit dry and a bit twitchy. It was subtle with scallops, but went well with bonito. 😄

Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san! 🙋 Oh, I read the beach breeze coming in from the sea as "Yamase" 😅. Sorry my writing style is not so good 🙇. I'm thankful for the cooler temperatures 🎉 because it's extremely hot in Tokyo and other places every day!

Good evening! 🙋 It has been hot day after day, hasn't it? Compared to Tokyo and Kansai, Tohoku is totally cooler, but for my cold-weather body, it's tough when the temperature exceeds 25℃ (lol). The next sake is Houou Mita Black Phoenix. I bought it at Fukuroiya Sake Shop. I'm sure there are other stores in Iwate that have a variety of interesting brands, but Fukuroiya has quite a few that I like, so I have to consult with the space in my fridge before making a purchase. 😅 I'm already full of anticipation just by looking at the label😁. The acidity of Aizan is surprisingly mature. If anything, it seems like it was made to balance the overall taste, yet still be gorgeous. It goes in smoothly. 👍 I found myself drinking 3 gou of it! 😱 I quietly put it away in the fridge so my wife doesn't see how much is left. It was very delicious! 🎉
