Good evening! 🙋 I was going to, but I fell asleep and good morning! 😅 It's December and it's getting colder in Iwate prefecture. The roads leading to the mountain passes were covered with snow and blizzards here and there. No, this is normal! 😱. But still, scary things are scary. It was the first time this year that I drove on snow-covered roads, so I drove more safely than ever before! I drove more safely than ever! 😁. Well, I was a little tired. But then we went to Yakitori Tomifuku for the first time in a long while in search of healing. We had a bottle of Kamikimoto Junmai Ginjo, which must have been purchased from the Sakamoto Sake Shop, which is located somewhat next door. It was labeled "super dry," so I took a sip with trepidation. Ah, surprisingly, the flavor of the rice spread in my mouth. I didn't feel it was that spicy. But when combined with the tsukune, which was drenched in sauce, the flavor spread even further. It was delicious. I am sure you will enjoy it. Postscript But what does fully fermented mean? I mean, all alcohol is fermented 😅.

Good evening! 😄 What a month it's been, December has come. It's been so fast, I have a funny sense of time 😅. It's late in the morning and early in the evening at this time of the year, so the end of the day seems to come even sooner. Since it's the beginning of the new year, I decided to put extra energy into this month's event! I put out a bottle of Shinsei S-type. I asked Kibune-san to share it with us. Thank you very much! 🙇 Take a sip. Oh, the acidity of Shinsei! 😁 No, it's really delicious! The sweet and tasty taste follows and the wonderful balance makes my mouth a paradise! 🎉 My wife, who is a wine drinker, also gave the Shinmasa an exceptional evaluation. It tastes like wine! is a bit rude to say about sake, don't you think? I guess that's my wife's high evaluation 😅. However, she noticed how I was drinking it so fast and when I was halfway through the bottle, she checked it and told me to save it for tomorrow! She told me to save it for tomorrow! 😱. I reluctantly put it back in the fridge. 😅 Well, it was very tasty anyway! 🙋

And yesterday I received another one that I was wondering about. 😁 Tasake Junmai Daiginjo. It is a brand that seems to be hard to find. 😅 It is a gift from a business partner. Take a sip. Oh, it's sweet too. It's sweet, but a slight sourness follows it, making it easy to drink overall. I could drink it forever if I leave it alone. 😅 It was very tasty. P.S. I have a favor to ask of everyone at Sake-no-Wa. 🙇 I will be traveling to Tokyo in December and was wondering if you could introduce me to a restaurant around Shinagawa that serves good sake. Last time I checked out Sake-no-wa and chose an izakaya near the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, but the restaurant was too big and there were too many groups and it was too busy and I got a little tired. I would like to go to a small place by myself and have a relaxing drink of a brand that is hard to find, so please let me know if there is such a restaurant. 🙇 I have to leave early the day after my overnight stay, so it would be helpful if there is a restaurant where I can have a quick drink and go home quickly. For example, a restaurant with good soba noodles and a lot of sake. 😁 Best regards 🙇.

Hi, I'm a new member and I'm looking for a new job! 🙋 It is sunny here on the coast of Iwate Prefecture, but there is a flicker of wind and flowers. The end of the year is approaching, so we have started cleaning up where we can get to. The sun is setting earlier and earlier, so I need to get on with it, but I'll post this in the skimming time when I'm having lunch and taking a short break. 😁 Rice and Oga pears we drank the day before yesterday. There was also some rice wine that I received, but I couldn't decide which one to drink, so I chose this one. My wife was at an overnight workshop the day before yesterday, so I decided to drink a small bottle if I was going to drink it alone. I decided to go with the smaller bottle if I was going to drink it alone. 😁. Take a sip. Ah, it's sweet! It's pear juice. It's good to drink by itself, but I think it's a bit hard to match with oden 😅. There was some ori at the bottom, so I mixed it and it tastes a little bitter and makes it easier to drink. I wonder if it would be the type that would switch to a more refreshing drink if shared among several people. But it was delicious. 😄

Japanese>English

Good morning, Kumagai 🐥. Sweet pear juice, right in the middle of my taste 😻It seems to be difficult to get this brand 😅. It's going to be the Master's Day in no time 💦It's cold and I hope you don't catch a cold from cleaning 😊.

Good evening! 🙋 It's getting warmer and colder, Winter is slowly approaching. We have a creek running next to our house, which causes the temperature to drop 3-5 degrees below normal. As you can see in the photo, we fired up the wood stove again this year. It has more firepower than a fan heater or air conditioner, so it warms the room differently. 👍 If you put thick wood in the stove before going to bed, it burns until morning and there is a leftover fire, which is excellent to keep the room temperature well. As you might expect, the price of firewood has gone up as well, especially after the oak die-off, and I think the cost of firewood has become more expensive than the cost of kerosene. 😓 Well, last week was the birthday of my eldest son's wife and her daughter, and we had a party to celebrate, although not on the same day. 🎉 And at the after party, Sake made an appearance! 🤗 The sake we served was a medium-bodied bottle of Masamune. Hasegawa Sake Shop online, with a limit of two bottles per person. I don't really like the word, but it's a good value for money for the taste, so this is the kind of thing I'm talking about 😁. 😁 However, this one is a bit overpoweringly sweet. I was a bit surprised because I imagined it to be a bit more subdued. It was delicious.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai. There is something atmospheric about a wood stove 🔥. It's a wonderful time for your family to get together ✨. I haven't been able to drink any of the instrument Masamune, but I love sweetness, so I will refer to it 😊.

Japanese>English

熊谷朋之

Good morning, ma-ki-! 😄 The wood stove is very luxurious. The Masamune was a little sweeter this time, perhaps because it was an "autumn harvest" or perhaps because it was hiya-odoroshi.

Good evening, Mr. Manachy! 🙋 The warmth of a wood stove is exceptional 😄. Due to the oak blight, there is a shortage of wood suitable for wood stoves, and due to the rising cost of labor, the price of wood is getting higher even though it is a small tree 😱.

The next one is the Hikoboshi bottle. Compared to Katsuyama style, it has a dry and robust taste. A bit hard 😅. I would rather drink it with boiled or grilled chicken than by itself. Even if brewed in the same way, the individuality of the brewer I was surprised that the brewer's individuality comes out even if brewed in the same way. It was delicious. It was delicious 😁. P.S. But still, it's a pain not being able to upload bang on my phone 😓. I think I pressed the right button, but the line breaks on its own, or I can't convert the line, and I feel like pouting. It's a hassle. Tomorrow's drinking session is a formal one with my business partners, so even if I ask them to close their eyes to the photos, I can't upload them on the spot because typing is against manners. 😅 If I can drink to the extent that I don't get delirious and upload it that day, that would be great (smiles). Well, good night for tomorrow. 🙋

Good evening! 🙋 Today was sunny and it was beyond warm and hot in the car in Iwate Prefecture. This difference in temperature is a factor that can make you sick if you are not careful, so you have to adjust with what you wear well. Yesterday, I attended a celebration party for an acquaintance in Ofunato. I attended the party. It was a celebration for the fact that he received the Minister's Commendation, so there were various prominent people sitting in the audience. I was very happy to be there 😄. The toast was made with sake from the local brewery, Drunken Sake Brewery. After that, we had beer made with hops from Tono, and I was the only one who ordered sake (smiles). Although it was all-you-can-drink, the sake was Drunken's Special Junmai Namae. It was not dry, but had an honest and mild taste. It was easy to drink with food. Normally, I should be pouring beers around, but this time, I was talking with my friend who sat next to me and the party was over in no time! 😱 I'll be leaving early tomorrow, so I decided to pass on the after-party. 😅 Thanks for your time. P.S. The fourth photo is a turtle sitting at the entrance of Sakurayama Shrine in Morioka. I heard that if you rub it, it will prolong your life. 😁. The turtle tawashi had been renewed and was now a real turtle tawashi (lol).

Good evening, ma-ki-! I'm so glad to see you here 😄. When it is cold in the morning and warm during the day, elderly people lose the ability to feel, so they are adversely affected by the heat and become dehydrated 😱. The food was delicious and we talked too much and drank too much. 😅

Good evening! 😀 It was a beautiful sunny day today on the coast of Iwate Prefecture. I received a call from Kuroneko Yamato, so I picked up the dawn of Sakai at my doorstep. (LOL) They started the sake nouveau 20 years ago, shipping the freshly squeezed sake as it was at midnight yesterday. In 2016, it was renewed as Sakasai no Yoake. I think it was probably the year after that when I first learned about SAKASAI NO YAKE. I thought it was "beautiful water" when I drank it at the store, looked it up online and learned that it was born on Kurafan, and I immediately popped it in on the application day the following year (laughs). At that time, I remember that I was extremely impressed not by the clean water, but by the shuwa shuwa sweet and tasty type of water. To use an analogy, it was a little shuwa shuwa matured by the land of production. I was about to get into the sake swamp, so I was distributing it around for a while (laughs). One of our clients seems to buy it in bulk every year😅. This year, it seems to be more carbonated than last year. The sweetness was more mature, with a slight bitterness. The taste was nicely integrated. I distributed it to the members of my company and they were very happy with it. They were very pleased with it.

Good morning Tomoyuki Kumagai, ☀️ I too was very impressed when I came across it 4 years ago and look forward to this day every year 😊It is truly a gem that got me hooked on the Sake swamp 😅. I used to give it away every year to the ladies in my office due to the price increase, but starting this year... 🤔

Japanese>English

熊谷朋之

Good morning, TOMO! People's feelings are selfish, and this year I'm thinking "even more shwashy" and raising the demand level so much that I'm afraid Kouko-san will be annoyed too😅. It's true, it's getting expensive to give them away 😓.

Another brand I drank at the end of August. Junmai Ginjo Autumn Leaves label from Shisora. It is a hiyaoroshi, or autumn-aged sake. I bought it for drinking at home for the first time in a while. When I took a sip, it was surprisingly strong. It had a strong sweetness to it, and perhaps because I had drunk four kinds of dry sake the day before at Shinmei, I felt it was a little heavy. I was a little bit heavy. 😅 After all, it seems that our sense of taste is changing with age 😱. My wife always checks me to make sure I don't drink continuously! but the food served to me makes me go into sake mode~! 😁😁 Then I get scolded, "I won't listen to that excuse! So I just drink about 1 gou and put it away in the fridge as soon as possible. 😅

Good evening! 😀 The weekend has come and gone in the blink of an eye. When Monday is a vacation, it feels like the rhythm of the week is not in order, something is not balanced 😅. What on earth is this? I was sorting through my photo data for a while and found that the one I drank at the end of August was not uploaded, so I'm posting it here after the fact! I'll post them 😁. The restaurant we went to was a sushi restaurant called "Shinmei" in Morioka. The owner and general manager here is a woman. However, it is a popular edo-mae sushi restaurant, so reservations are hard to come by. The sake we were served was Souhyo, a Tochigi Prefecture sake. It has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, but it has a certain impact on the tongue and goes well with the strong flavors of the dish. I paired it with fried fish. It was delicious! 😀 P.S. I must have had a few other drinks, but I seem to have accidentally deleted the data. 😱 Too bad!

Next is MONSTAR from Akabu, which I drank yesterday and today. Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol content 16%. This bottle was shared with us by Gin-no-Sake Kibune. On the first day after opening the bottle, it had a slightly rich acidity and sweetness, with a sticky rather than a zippy taste that spread through the mouth, and a strength that is typical of 16% alcohol. My wife nailed me to the wall and said, "Don't drink it all at once! My wife warned me not to drink it all at once, so we drank it in 2 goules each. 😅 By the second day, the sweetness and sourness seemed somewhat subdued. The richness faded somewhat and it felt more drinkable. I heard there was heavy rain from western Japan to the Tokai region. What in the world is heavy rain in November? It is a three-day weekend. I hope to spend it peacefully. Well then, have a good night. (Holly!)

I've heard that the older you get, the faster it goes, but a year will end in this month and next month? I can't help but wonder what in the world I've been doing. 😅 Well, amongst all these things, something good happened at the end of last month, and I took the plunge and put out "Abe", even though my fridge is full of shuwa shuwa. I'm not quite sure where I bought it online, but I think I let it sit for 6 months. It is served in a small champagne glass. The bubbles are nicely carbonated. It has a low alcohol content of 13%, so it is soft on the palate and sweet and tasty in the mouth. My wife also praised the taste, saying, "It's very good! and raved about it! 👍 It is indeed "Abe"! 😁 It was very delicious! 🎉🎉🎉

Good evening! 😀 Today was a nice day in the northern coastal area of Iwate Prefecture. It dropped below freezing in the morning, but it feels warmer during the day when it rises to double digits. Interesting how people feel 😁. Well, I served Tsuchida this evening. I have been stocking up on too many of my personal favorite shwashuwas, and I don't have the confidence to finish a four-pack in one day or survive tomorrow's alcohol check, so I chose Tsuchida, a "room temperature" sake! So I chose Tsuchida. In fact, I found it on the shelf as usual. I also have another bottle of "Jyotemp Jyotemp Jyotemp" on the shelf (lol). When poured into the katakuchi, it is golden. Ah, this is a bad one. When you put it in your mouth, it has a unique, twisted, medicinal taste. I don't know how to put it, but it tastes like a diluted Yomeishu (a kind of sake). It's like a diluted yomeishu (a kind of sake). 😱. But this peculiar feeling is what makes Tsuchida so good. I like umami-sweet type and love schwashy type, but when I drank it recommended by President Murai of Kibune, I honestly thought "What the heck is this? but before I knew it, I had finished it. Sake really is a very deep drink. I think I will drink this one more slowly. P.S. It's still a hassle to type 500 words on a smartphone. I think it's great when I see young kids typing with both hands 😅.

Well, I'd rather not go all the way to winter at once, so I welcome the warmth (lol)! Today's brand is Akabu's Sparring Galaxy. It's an awesome secondary fermentation in the bottle! 😁. I know it's a non-weekend day, but I was a bit happy to see it, so my wife and I opened it because it was an appropriate sake to toast together. As you know, this is a brand that requires careful attention to blow out, so I took my time and moved the bottle opener! 😁 The taste was nothing short of amazing! Sake really is amazing 😄! I wonder how they can make such a delicious sparring! I may have a light hangover tomorrow, but I'm happy 🙋. But still, I wonder why the bottle of Shinsei/Tenagara that I took out of the fridge to drink first was so hard to open. 😅

Yes, thank you for your help! 😁. For my 6th cup, I had Tobiroki. Ummm, I can feel the sweetness and flavor, but perhaps it has been sitting for a while and the bitterness stands out. I watched for a while, but it seemed like almost no one ordered sake 😓. I think that nosy old man should order a lot of sake since he can compare the different kinds of sake. I guess you have to be in a good restaurant to taste the sake with satisfactory taste 😅😅. But still, there are so many customers coming one after another, this must have been really hard during the Wuhan pneumonia. I was just thinking once again how they have really managed to come back so far by filling such a large floor with customers and having all the staff to keep the place running. 😀 But that doesn't mean that you can't drink good sake at a high quality level. Thank you for your hard work today. Good night. (Holy shit!)

An hour and a half into the restaurant. The gringo who was drinking alone at the counter has paid his bill and is gone. The counter is basically a couple. I'm alone, mooching and posting to the sake crocodile (lol). Anyway, I can only post this kind of thing when I am alone and not under the guidance of my wife, because the map function does not seem to recognize me unless I am near a restaurant. I don't need to eat and drink in a hurry, so I'm just going at my own pace. The fifth cup was Masumi from Nagano. I guess this is a brand that I sometimes have a connection with. When I took a sip, I felt the sourness on top of the clean water. It is easy to drink and goes with everything! It is easy to drink and goes with everything! It is easy to drink and goes with everything! It's amazing. Groups of people kept coming in one after another. I wonder if many company workers come to the restaurant on weekdays. They refuse to take reservations. No, it's nice to see so many people!

Now, the fourth glass is a Junmai Ginjo from Kuroryu. For those who drink a lot, what? This small boar cup? but for me, this amount is OK (laugh). Since I became over 60 years old, I have started to be conscious of cutting back on the amount of sake I drink. It would be a shame if I couldn't drink it well, so I maintain the attitude of taking a little bit of good sake. At home, I can relax and drink, so I may drink a little too much, but it is very rare that I finish a four-pack. When we drink outside with a lot of people, we share the sake with everyone, so the total amount of sake we drink is about 2 to 3 gou. That's why I chose this place, where I found a picture of a sake drinking comparison on the Sake-no-Wa search engine. Junmai Ginjo from Kuroryu. Slightly sweet and tasty. Slightly acidic. A bit of bitterness at the bottom of the bottle. Hmmm, I wonder if not many people order sake for the many customers 😅. At 6:30, the restaurant was even more crowded. 😁.

The third cup was a brand called Aouda. Since it is from Fukuoka, it is a neighbor of Shichida. The taste is somewhat similar, but that does not mean that it is so because they are neighbors (laugh). It is smooth and sweet. It is smooth and deliciously sweet, with only a little bit of sourness. The bitterness is not particularly noticeable, even if you are conscious of it. Today, I went to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. I sometimes come here in the fall, but this time it was just too hot, and the people from the other continent walking along the road were noisy. It was quite a physical and mental strain. But this time, I was accompanied by a one-month-old baby, his parents, and his grandparents. She was crying all the time, probably because she was hungry or uncomfortable because of the heat, but she stopped crying when I said the prayer! Amazing! 👍 We enjoyed the worship.
