I went to Yokozeki in Fujinomiya. The name Yokozeki means "moon after rain. I heard that the owner named one of the brands after the moon after the rain. I don't remember which brand. Was it Jusan-no Yoru? Yesterday, I heard that a colleague of mine got married, so I decided to give this sake to him as a celebration. I wish I could have drunk it 😂.

Well, I guess I drink too much 💦. March, I tend to drink on weekdays. I've stocked up on alcohol...💦. Well, here is Takebayashi, a souvenir from Okayama. The other day it was a three-crown with a sake degree of ➕. When I requested ➖ sake, the clerk recommended this one, and I immediately decided on a brand I had never heard of. Purchased at Wine and Sake Takeda. It's fruity and sweet 😋 but when you take a quick sip, it's extremely spicy afterwards! Rolling it around in my mouth, it was even spicier! This spiciness was a bit unexpected. I like the contrast 🙆. This sake seems to be shipped after a year's sleep. It is a blissful moment when drinking this sake, which is not available in Shizuoka 😃. The photo is in front of Takamatsu station where I was before entering Okayama.

I will take this one that I purchased on my summer history trip 😋. It feels much fresher since it is after drinking San Kwan. I think it has more sweetness and acidity than Yamadanishiki. It is just a little 😓. There was a nice popping sound when the bottle was opened. It still has a schwarziness after 6 months 😋. I still like this kind of sweet sake with a moderate alu feel. And this Kame-no-o is from Sakura City, but it seems to be the one used for Senkou 👀. The accompaniments were roast beef and roast pork from Kazuya, a butcher store in Shimizu. The roast beef here is ridiculously delicious 😭.

Purchased at "Wine and Local Sake Takeda" near Okayama Station 🍶 It was a very beautiful liquor store and had a selection of sake from all over Japan. I was intrigued by all the sake from Okayama that I had never seen 😙. I hadn't had nigori draft yet this year, so I decided on this one immediately. It's really exciting to open a souvenir sake 😆. The taste is dry. It goes down your palate quickly, but after it goes down your throat, it hits you on the nose. It's a bit like Takefujima 🤔. The sushi in the picture is a specialty called Mamakari. The name comes from the fact that it was so delicious that everyone was eating the mamakari.
Japanese>English
ellie
After a day's leave, the taste was rounded out. No sweetness but milky, good mouthfeel. Some acidity.

Good morning, ellie 😃! I only stopped in Okayama for transit on a trip the year before last, but I didn't get to try mamakari, yellow chives and other yummy stuff 😢 I hope to go back there someday!

Good evening Jay & Novi 🌇. Be careful with mamakari, many of them are from Vietnam 😓I guess the catch has been poor in recent years. I had Niimi's Chiya beef for lunch! The chives were a no-mark! Anyway it was a good trip 🤩.

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌇. The origin of this sushi was given to me by a friend 😓I found it for the first time and immediately bought some sushi I found at the station 😓I don't go to Okayama very often, so I don't know much about it. ❗️

I enjoyed the Southern concert 🤩‼️ It was the usual Southern from a lot of new songs. In Takamatsu, when I tried to eat udon, only 2 restaurants were open in front of the station, and these 2 restaurants were taking care of 10,000 Southern fans... 😓. It was so crowded that we could not eat. In the evening, I went out to Okayama to drink with a friend who is a Shinto priest 🍺. I drank a bottle of Daisenji Shirakiku for the first time... 🍺. Fruity. Slightly refreshing. Easy to drink 😋. The picture is Shimotsui Horumon Yaki Udon, a B gourmet dish.

Thank you for your hard work.... Thank you for the photos that heighten the tension! Was the store unfamiliar with the shingles? It must be hard to go to Kagawa, and it's a shame that you can't eat udon.

Good evening Jay & Novi 🌇. Southern was very impressive 🥺. Instead of udon, I had Sanuki Ramen 🍜 with sea bream broth. I bought some sake from Okayama, which is not so common in Kanto, so I will upload it soon ⤴️

Good evening Shinjou-san 🌆. It was great to see Kuwata-san again after a few years, he looks so young and I am convinced that he is not retiring yet. ❗️ I wish I could have stayed a little longer, but I was happy to be able to buy some Kagawa sake ^ ^.

Sanko was given to me as a discharge gift. A friend in Okayama sent me... and 2 squares. ❗️ My friend is a Shinto priest of Yatsushiro Shrine, which is famous for its cursed straw dolls. He shared a lot of sake with us. We enjoyed it warmed up 🍶. Tomorrow we will travel to Takamatsu for the Southern All Stars concert 🚄. After that I will stay in Okayama and I am looking forward to drinking 🍺Okayama sake with a friend who is a Shinto priest 😊.

I heard it won the highest gold medal in the National Heated Sake Contest 2024 Premium Lukewarm category🧐. I bought it because it was recommended to me as delicious. I haven't had much heated sake before, but this might be the best one I've ever had. It has an elegant sweetness 🤔, but it also has umami, and the spiciness follows suit nicely. The elegant sweetness becomes more apparent when the sake is lukewarm. Easy to drink 😋. Liked it.

And there was the farm mouth again 😋. Of course you have to drink it. It is 20 degrees and high. Sweet and rich, yet it doesn't linger. Even my childhood friend at the liquor store who prefers the old-fashioned style from a long time ago raved about it. Sushi and nouguchi, the best 😀. Side dishes include sea urchin and salted fish rolls, squid and tuna sashimi, and more.

The second restaurant is Sushi Nakamura. This sake was wholesaled by my childhood friend Fujikouji Sake Shop. Unlike the standard Tenkohi, this sake is too refreshing 🤔. This Usagetsukimine seems to be only for Izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and not for retail stores. The standard Tenkohi is more like a thicker, mellow and fruity sake, but this sake is the opposite. The accompaniment is seared cod roe.

The fourth category is here, and it is said to be read as Naruka, not Narumi. I thought it was Aichi, but it was a sake from Chiba. This is a strong sake 😓. I like acidity, so the master recommended me to try the ultimate acidity.... Acidity 10, come on, this is mirin. ❗️ My childhood friend who works at a liquor store guessed it was mirin before I even drank it because of the percentage of 99. That's what I thought. This should not be put in the category of sake 😓 For some reason, it is said to be popular among women. I don't understand the purpose of making this sake. It is certainly an interesting sake with a lot of buzz, but I don't know what the purpose of making it is. I served it with sardines dried in soy sauce. It goes well with sardines, though.

Hi ellie 😃 Narumi is our favorite for its acidity 😋, but... this one is too strong 😅. But there are some people who love the strong sake 🍶 🤔I guess there is a demand for it 😄.

I once wanted to go to "Oto-zakari" in Fuji. I went there with a childhood friend who is a sake shop owner. They have about 80 kinds of sake on hand. We chose from the menu on the signboard and asked for a sake comparison of five different kinds of sake, which came out in an inoguchi (cup). The toji (master brewer) of Wagyo, aka Shokame, has not changed even after the incident 😊. This year's new sake was a bit dry and very easy to drink. The snack was cabbage rolls with cheese cream.

The cold weather is still continuing: ⛄️ Therefore, we will open a bottle of sake that goes well with warmed sake for a while 🫡. This time it's Kikuhime, which I put down from the year before last. I bought it because I was eyeing this one instead of the famous nigori sake. The taste is a bit too much to describe, but it's a bit of a waste of words.

Hello ellie 😃 Kikuhime is a rich and delicious sake! I think it's hard to describe how good heated sake is 😋 and I think ‼️ is enough to describe how good it is 🤗. Fuji🗻 with snow is beautiful!

This is a souvenir from my business trip to Tokyo last year😆. I wanted to try it once 🥹. I put it down for a year. The taste is sour first 😲 and the sweetness is also suppressed so you can feel the sourness all the way to the eye. It's like a very sour version of Nabeshima Purple. It is also much spicier. It's tasty😋 but a little more fruity would be nice. The side dish is mackerel with sweetened mackerel 🐟.

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.

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 😁.
