Last year, when I went on a business trip to Todai, there was a souvenir store in the communication center and there were 3 different kinds of various Todai brands of 👀sake and I bought this one 😅. I heard that the president of Sohyo is a graduate of Todai. He said he was asked by an alumnus of the rowing club to start up the brand. The color is the University of Tokyo's color. This color seems to be the University of Tokyo's color. The taste...the first hint of aroma is characteristic 😳 It has a grain-like flavor, almost no sweetness, but if I had to say, I would say burnt cotton candy 😋 You can taste that flavor for a while. A little dry. I'll try it heated tomorrow 😋😋😋 Maybe it will go well with it. Fuji here had a phantom first snowfall in November. I thought it was the first snowfall, but it was not recorded as a snowfall on this day because it was half covered.

Good morning, ellie 😃 Mr. President of Sohyo, you were my senior! Oh, I'm not talking about the University of Tokyo, I'm talking about your age 😆. I'm curious about the burnt cotton candy 😋Thanks for the picture of Mt Fuji 😊.

Hello Jay & Novi😃. I see that this president has a face in the Matsushita Institute of Political Science and Economics. As I said, the aroma does not stand up as you drink it, so the initial fluffy aroma was interesting 😆.

Happy New Year! Wishing you a happy new year 🐍. It's New Year's and the place is crowded with expensive sake at Sake-no-wa. expensive sake expensive sake... 🤔 So I decided to go with the expensive snowball 👑. I bought it on impulse last month at Kuboyama Sake Shop, where for some reason they had a large display of it. This is my first time drinking Snowball itself 😁UA is a blend of nama yeast and yeast yeast. Hors d'oeuvres were from Luce, an Italian restaurant in Fuji. I watched "Shinji Muroi Ikiteiru Hito Mono" (Shinji Muroi: The One Who Lives On and On). This is not Odoru Daisousasen lol. But it moved me so much🥺.

Year-end drinking with childhood friends, 3rd glass of sake 🍶. No way! Recommended by the master at Sushi Nakamura. This is also my first time drinking here. I have never seen it in Shizuoka, so I never expected to find it here 🫨. It has a sweet mouthfeel and a depth that cannot be put away by the word "fruity" alone. It has just the right amount of sake and richness. This is what I call "farm-guchi" 😁. I was lucky to be able to drink it. It's a great combination with good sushi items. I was surprised that they also make shochu 🫢3rd picture. I didn't drink it.

Second with a childhood friend. At Sushi Nakamura in Fuji, which is wholesaled at his liquor store. This Hokusetsu is also our first drink. It is a very beautiful sake, like water, but with a hidden graininess and sweetness. Very delicate 🧐. I got excited at the end of the year and ordered a lot of it at the counter sushi restaurant. I love seared cod roe and I always ask for it when I come here 😊They had a rare item and I got seared tuna blood. Surprisingly not fishy and delicious 😋.

Year-end drinking with childhood friends at a liquor store 🍺. We had a drink at a long-established soba (buckwheat noodle) izakaya (Japanese style bar) in Fuji. It was my first time to drink at Hakuin. It is easy to drink and has an old-fashioned taste that does not go out of style. It is dry but gentle to drink. This year has been busy but steady. I was hospitalized and was able to put my worries behind me. There were some upsetting things at the end of the year, but let's put those things behind us and refresh our spirits in the new year 😁.

Today was the last day of work: ❗️ What is the last sake at the end of the year 🤔? I opened a bottle of Takefujima's Active Nigori after some hesitation. I bought this at the brewery during my summer trip to Lake Biwa history. It was a very nice trip. Unfortunately it had lost its activity 😭 I left it for five months 😓. But dry flavor and some acidity. A sweetness that is hidden in the aftertaste. Well matched and easy to drink: ☺️ This would be really good if it had activity! This one seems to be popular and is sold all year round. Highly recommended. The snacks are chutoro (medium fatty tuna) and conger eel tempura. The Christmas cake is from Numazu's long-established Ale Marine. Let's open another bottle for hot sake 🍶. What shall we open at the beginning of the year 🤔
Japanese>English

Good evening, ellie 🦉. I see you have an active nigori (a kind of "active" rice wine) 😳I'm in Shiga and haven't tasted it yet💦I'd like to try it if I can find it 😊. I was in Shizuoka at the beginning of December and could hardly see it 😢.

Good evening Ponchan ^ ^ It's bad luck not to see Fuji in December😅 I just checked the Shizuoka review 😆 I missed it around the time I left the hospital 😓. You have a good eye to choose Kaiun. It's a brewery as good as Isoboast: ❗️

I have been absent from posting for over a month 😓. It took me a while to empty a bottle and I was in the hospital for 10 days to have surgery. I am now fully healed and discharged from the hospital ㊗️, so I am opening this bottle 💁. Nice aroma of Tasake. Slightly weaker attack than Tokujun. Easy to drink. It's been a long time since I've had this. Delicious! It's a good enough drink for the special feeling of being discharged from the hospital 😋 and a bit pricey. Now I can't wait to see which stock I'm going to serve for the holiday season and what I'm going to do with the snacks 😂.

Hello Takku0103😃 It's been a while since I've had a drink, and it's been sinking in because it's been a long time since I've been out of the hospital and I've been working consecutive days: ❗️ I think it tastes better when you drink less.

I hope the sakura shrimps were to your liking. The winding road of the Sattva Pass is an accident-prone area 😓I am used to it, so I sometimes speed up quite a bit.

I came to see Sattva Pass because I saw Hiroshige Utagawa's "Fifty-three Stages of the Tokaido" 😆. Unfortunately, there are too many clouds in spring April, so I can't see Mt. I want to go back! I want to eat both sakura shrimps and fresh shirasu 🤤. I like to visit Mt. Fuji from the Shizuoka side 😊.
Japanese>English
ellie
Fuji in winter is the best time to see it 😄You can eat fresh shirasu in Kanagawa as well, but I think Shizuoka's are smaller (and younger) and tastier. Please come to Shizuoka again ^ ^.

It was given to me by a colleague last year when I was having a very hard time at work 😆. What a bottle 😮 I won't have it for another month. It tastes like a dry royal road. It has a mellow and delicious taste. It is very easy to drink🙆 It is even easier to drink with ice. It is also delicious when heated 😋. I served it with a side dish of pickled round eggplant with sake lees (made by Naritaya Brewery in Matsudai). Delicious, but well, salty 😆 Nagano's food has a lot of preserved foods. The tamari soy sauce here is very tasty.

I bought this one last December. I bought it on impulse because it was advocated in Sake-no-wa that you should buy Nabeshima Tokujun when you see it 😅. This is my first time drinking it. It didn't spill, but when I took a sip, I was like "this is good! I'm like 😆. The best part is the clear acidity 🥹 I'm a sucker for acidity and I was impressed. A little complex and sharp. I was also impressed by the acidity of my first rice wine, but this is a different kind 🥺 really delicious 😋. I had a junmai ginjo (purple) of Yamadanishiki before, but I like this one better. The Fuji in the picture is from April. There is no snow on the ground yet this fall.

I drank too much... This is too easy to drink💦. PETILLANT seems to be a Fula word meaning fizzy. This drink seems to have been served at some international summit 🧐. It has a very sweet mouthfeel and a clean carbonation without any cloying taste. The carbonation is unexpectedly clear. I would say it smells slightly grapey, but it is one step away from that. Many posters call it a wine, and the mouthfeel is exactly as it should be. After it goes down your throat, it's a solid sake 😁.

I bought it at a store called FURUMAIYA in the station building when I visited Kawasaki. I was saddened to find out later that there was a draft sake available, and wished I could have had that one 😗. However, that feeling was blown away when I drank this one 😁. The freshness of the sake was just as fresh as the nama-shu. The sweetness and acidity are assertive, and there's plenty of schwarziness. Juicy and quite easy to drink ❗️ Last night's snacks were sashimi and leek ball. I'm going to try grilled pork from Matsuno butcher store this evening 😆.

At the end of my summer vacation, I went to Nagano to see a friend. We stopped by Zenkoji temple, but it was a day trip and we didn't have enough time to see all of it😅. Well, what I brought back was Seimasamune. Cool name and label. I decided I've never had apple acid yeast before 🙂. It has a very gentle taste. Apple-like sweetness and acidity. I feel like the sweetness is on the surface and the sourness is hidden. Delicate 😋 well surely fruit apples are not that sour 🤔I thought it was a bit too sweet for me so I added ice. I wonder how it would taste with soda?

Today we will open a very special one that is not available in Shizuoka 😋. Continuing our trip to Shiga. Going north in Nagahama, there is the Tomita Sake Brewery, famous for the Seven Spears, and a few doors down is the Yamaji Sake Brewery, but we passed them on our way over the Mt. On the way to Saba Highway, we happened to find Yoshida Sake Brewery. It is very close to Sugaura village, which we were looking for, so we definitely wanted to stop by here rather than Tomita Sake Brewery 🤔. Apparently it is a brewery that is being revitalized by a company started by a Gekkeikan alumnus. Pon-chan told me about it😊I looked it up and it seems to be a company called Yume Sake Brewery. In the second photo, on the right is Chikubu Island. If you go into the back of the peninsula on the left, you will find Sugaura. Now for the taste... The sweetness is moderate and sharp^ ^ ^I think the umami is high! The sake taste that comes to your nose at the end is also refreshing😄That's pretty good. It went well with sashimi. The two pictures in the back are Sugaura, which I wanted to visit at least once. The four-legged gate marking the boundary of Somura and the Suga Shrine, where shoes are strictly prohibited. You have to take off your shoes from these stairs.

I have a very special sake I brought back from Shiga 🤔. But I held back a little and opened this bottle 🍾 which had been left unopened since last year. I guess it's an autumn sake, given the theme of "moonlight" 🍂. Sake no Iwase has a wide variety of Koei chrysanthemums, with a variety of BYs. I bought an old one to try. It's been almost 3 years since I bought it, but I'm not sure how it tastes. ⁉️ Well, how does it taste? Yes, it's good. It has an obvious Koueikiku-like sourness and sweetness, and the aroma is obvious. I'm impressed that I can still drink it after 3 years 🥺I don't know what the original taste is, but it is generally round. But it seems thick and nice. The chiliiness is still there...I think. I can't see the beautiful Mt. Fuji these days and can't take pictures 🫤.

It's a stopover house drink after a night out drinking. Since I am a friend of the liquor store, I was given a rare sake to drink 🧐 It seems to be a sample sake that has not been released yet: ❗️ Hakutsuru is a Nada sake, but this one is only 8 degrees alcohol. It's not a strange one, it's a straight up 8% 😆. It's not too sweet, so it's kind of like white wine. Really wine ❗️

I bought this Kyoto souvenir 🍾 from my childhood friend's liquor store. I thought it would be a good idea to buy sake at the liquor store, but since my main business is a soy sauce shop, I thought it was okay 🧂After having a drink outside, they let me stop by their house and have one 😁I opened a bottle of the souvenir. I haven't looked up the origin of this brewery, but it was located on the same site as Kyodo Sake Brewery. As you can see in the photo, there are two nameplates hanging on the wall. This place used to be the former residence of the Satsuma clan. There was a stone pillar like that to the right of the telegraph pole 🧐. The taste is... It is quite sweet with an accentuated sourness but also sharp. The sweetness has a profound feeling. It is very easy to drink, just as it is reputed to be 😋.

I happened to find this brewery on the road! I'll open a bottle next time 🎵 I'm interested in the Mie Prefecture brewery that Imuraya, the azuki bar company, has restored 🤔.

Today I'm having a drink with a childhood friend 🍺. We were going to drink in Numazu, but because of the Nankai Trough warning, we decided to go in front of Fuji station to avoid a tsunami 🤨. There is a famous sake bar "Oto zakari" in Fuji city, but it was closed 😓. Well, here we are at Kudokibe. This is the first time to drink it. It has a fruity and sharp mouthfeel, but the final sharpness is just right and doesn't erase the sweetness. What a nice salted plum 🙆. I thought it was similar to Shizuoka's Shoyuki, so I compared them later, but Shoyuki seems to take everything with its sharpness at the end 🤔. My childhood friend who works at a liquor store lamented that after Corona, this brewery stopped distributing Kudoki-ueitate.

On the last day of the Kohoku - Saba Kaido road trip, we visited Hibi Brewery ❗️ to buy some souvenirs to close out the trip. I was the only customer and I had to make an appointment to visit the brewery 😆. Two women served me and they were very friendly and happy 😄. They were selling three varieties: Akitsu Yamadanishiki, Kame-no-o and regular Yamadanishiki. There is a little space to park your car. There are Shokoku, Tama no Hikari, Jyuseki, etc. in close proximity within walking distance, which is as expected of Fushimi. The taste is very elegant 😋. If I say it is like water, that would be the end of the story, but both sweetness and aroma are well hidden when you taste it well. The side dishes are pumpkin tempura and horse mackerel tataki. I think it goes well with Japanese food. The photo shows the shoin at Ruriko-in and Katsura-rikyu. This is Shokintei seen from Gakuharo, do you see the checkered pattern small... 🧐.

ellie, I enjoyed your Kohoku - Saba Road report 🙏. I've never been to the brewery here, so this will be helpful 😊I'd like to go there once. I see you went to Katsura Rikyu too! This might be the one I envy the most 😆👍✨

Hi Pon 😃. You can make reservations for Hibi Brewing online, but there is a time limit for visiting 🧐. I enjoyed Katsura Rikyu more than I thought I would! We went around with a commentator and the man with the skinhead was wonderful.

Today's route Sugaura village - Yoshida sake brewery - Saba highway, Kutsuki inn - Koseiji temple - Kochiya Amida temple - Rurikoin temple It was a grand tour 😆. We successfully digested it all. All were good! Rurikouin was open only for a limited time, so it was crowded and ruined the atmosphere 😅. The staircase at Kochiya was a demon 💦. I will upload the sake from Yoshida Sake Brewery later. The photo is of the garden at Koseiji Temple. It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiharu created the garden when he stayed here to escape the upheaval in Kyoto. Then the Kutsuki Inn and the stairs up to Amida Temple in Kochiya. The evening is at a Kyoto izakaya. We had a whole meal of hamo (pike conger), manganji chili pepper, and saikyo yaki (Spanish mackerel grilled in Kyoto). The Tomio here is delicious 😋 hard, like hot spring water on the tongue. It was the ultimate in fruity. Tomorrow, we will finally visit that sake brewery in Fushimi 😎.
