I was not looking for this sake, but I found the much talked about Hirotogawa. I thought, "If I don't buy it here, I probably won't see it for a while..." and bought it. It is as good as they say 🧐. I prefer this to Sairai and Kangiku. The acidity and umami are clear. The sake was always a lot of fun 😁. The snack was tonkotsu nabe from Ippudo.

I had a good thing today, so I'm opening the bottle even though it's a weekday 😆. I drank the red label last year and didn't like it much.... But I bought this one because it was cloudy. The overall flavor is similar to the red label, but I like the slight sourness that stands out 😋. I also feel the heat that is typical of sake when it goes down my throat. This one is good 🤔. I paired it with hapoho chai and fried beef hormone and karaage from Matsuno butcher store.

Good evening ellie 😃. It's good to have a reason to drink 😆. At home, I'm probably more likely to be desperate to find a reason to drink 🤣 Happosai and hormone! Sounds like it would be good for Ayrai 😋.

Good evening Jay & Novi 😁. Well, I drink when I have a bad day, so I drink either way lol. This sake went really well with the hormones 🐃I like the dark flavored snacks!

The second bottle for a drink at home with a friend. This is also a souvenir from a colleague. It seems to be distributed only in Nagasaki. It was on the top of the list of products on the Mori Sake Brewery website. It is a "rice-only sake" standard. I did some research, but it seems that in the past, a sake with a rice polishing ratio of less than 70% was called a "normal sake. This is the first time I've tasted Hiran itself. It is suddenly delicious for a normal sake 😋 The alcohol taste comes afterwards, but it is moderate and the sake is easy to drink because it is a draft. It doesn't have any aroma, though. My friend doesn't like Shinshu Kamerei, and says that Hikakami and Hiran are too sweet and not enough for her. I should have let her drink Kikuhime.

ellie, I don't know about izakayas that specialize in local sake from Hokkaido, but Sakuramotoshoten (the main store and Maruyama store), Nemotoshoten (Kokonosukino store), and Yamasho Sake Shop are easily accessible from central Sapporo, so be sure to bring some local sake as a gift ✨.

I am drinking at home with a friend. We have more than a dozen bottles of sake in stock, so I let my friend choose what she wanted to drink. This is a souvenir given to me by a colleague😄. We opened the bottle even though there was still some Akabu and Shinshu Kamerei left. It has a slightly sweet taste and goes down your throat easily. Still, it has a nice sharpness at the end and a moderate alcohol content. Very well balanced 🤔. The snacks were grilled hormone, sashimi, and yose-nabe with crab.

I kept this sake until New Year's Day in order to drink it mindlessly when I was at my most relaxed. I purchased it at the brewery when I visited Ueda in the spring. It is very tasty, more subdued and elegant than Inakura's Tanada. When approaching room temperature, it smells like cotton candy. The photo shows Fuji on New Year's Day and the monument of Nobushige Sanada's helmet at Ueda Castle. For snacks, take out sushi from the long-established Japanese restaurant Uotami. I have mixed feelings about opening it in the middle of the Noto Peninsula earthquake, watching NHK's Yamauchi's moving call to action. Praying for your safety.

Year-end party for the fourth week in a row, the second drink 😓. We drank at Sushi Nakamura in front of Fuji Station. My childhood friend Fujikouji Sake Brewery distributes sake and soy sauce. Tengu Mai was founded in Bunsei 6 (1818). I wonder if the taste is similar to the one from that time 🤔? When you pour it into a glass, it is very yellow and beautiful. It has a strong graininess even though it is a ginjo, which I found to be an unusual flavor. And yet, it is very easy to drink. It also has a certain degree of sharpness. We served it with ponzu (ponzu flavored white cod roe), seared cod roe, and various kinds of sushi.

Year end party for the 4th week in a row... 😓. I went to a sushi restaurant with a childhood friend who runs a liquor store. Sushi Nakamura" in front of Fuji station (not caught in the location info of Sake no Wawa...). We hadn't been there since before the Corona disaster. The sushi restaurant is a wholesaler to this sushi restaurant, and the Tedorigawa is also from Fujikouji Sake Brewery. I drank a lot, so I don't remember the taste! It was very easy to drink, and I can assure you it was delicious 😄. As for the snacks, the salted fish with sea urchin was outstanding. The sashimi at the sushi bar is thick and good.

I recently purchased a large quantity of new sake, these are the standard popular sakes. This time I opened this bottle😋 and drank Akabu for the first time. It has a watery mouthfeel with a refreshing acidity. It is not so sharp, so I thought it was really easy to drink. It is light, so you can drink it even on weekdays. I had it with pork hot pot with tonkotsu (pork bone) soup. Now, let's open a bottle for the New Year's holiday 😁.

This Kihei is a sake brewery in Okayama. There is one of the same name in Shizuoka, and they seem to be closely related. I wanted to drink Shizuoka Heiki, but the one I ordered was from Okayama😓. It was sweet because it was a honjozo and easy to drink because it was a draft 😋. This is the third consecutive week-end party, but today's was at the famous Yasudaya Honten in Shizuoka. It is a buckwheat noodle restaurant that was frequented by Yoshinobu Tokugawa. The Soba Kaiseki was magnificent. Soba was served like sushi, and the bowl of soba was topped with dried bonito! It is said that when Keiki moved to Sunpu, the Edo people moved with him. They were selfish, so they were told to put fish on top, and this menu was created. Of course, Shizuoka's soba, trained by the Edo kids, is delicious 😋.

I heard that they have a very good selection of Sake, so I went to this restaurant, "Gah", to launch my work 🍶 They serve fish from Toyama even though it is in Shizuoka 😲. I had a hard time deciding which sake to order, but I chose a brand I had never tried before because I thought it was a good time of year to drink sake that was still fresh. It tasted like a fusion of the acidity typical of nama-shu and a somewhat old-fashioned sweetness 😊. The label said something about super concentrated brewing, but I was too drunk to really understand. Delicious. The snacks also go well with sake. It is a good restaurant.

Last year I did not understand the annual cycle of sake. But now that I have learned, I know that now is the time for new sake 🧐 and lots of nigori sake, which I love! So I hit the liquor stores and stocked up. Well, I heard it's Ocean99 since it's in Kujukuri-hama. Liberty in Shimizu has a great selection of Sohno-Kangiku from last year. I didn't really like the electric chrysanthemum, but I was interested in the nigori, which was the only one left, and I got it😊. Taste... This is my favorite♪ I'm impressed that the drinkability is so far through. It's more like a pursuit. It's sweet and sour, like a juice 😊. I've been drinking it since weekday...

All-you-can-drink menu at Sakanaya Dojo, Part 2. There was also Isohajime. It's a honjozo, but it's very tasty 😋. I had no idea that you can drink all you can drink these including Otters. I think it's a very good restaurant and all you can eat, not to mention the food!

Went here for a work launch. All you can eat and drink for 5,000 yen for unlimited time. The food is reasonable, but you can also order sashimi. The all-you-can-drink menu mainly consists of honjozo sake such as Kaiun and Garyubai, but Otters Junmai Ginjo was included in the menu. I hadn't had it in years and it was sweet and gassy and really easy to drink. I was there for about 5 hours....

Opened this bottle as the guard breaker was available 😊. I bought this one a year ago. That time was when I discovered Yokozeki and Mishimaya Sake Shop, and I had been looking at so many different kinds of sake that I had forgotten a ton of them ∑. Taste... Moderately dry, it tastes like water in the mouth at first. The sharpness and umami of sake comes at the same time as it goes down your throat. Easy to pair with meals 😋. Sashimi of tuna and yellowtail as a side dish. I wonder how it will taste when it is heated up!

I stopped by a liquor store and bought it for half price, in the 800 yen range. It was a spring item, so the price was down 😙. I thought it was an unusual brand, so I looked it up and found that it was a 300 year old law-breaker. I've seen this at a different liquor store 👀. Hana no Keiji was available, so I opened a bottle. It's November, like spring. Tastes like... A little thick. Yellowish. What is this grain-like aroma that lingers in the nose? I can't describe it well, but it's quite rich and old-fashioned. The ad says it's fresh, but I think it might be better to call it flavorful 🤔. I forgot to put potatoes in the pot-au-feu and edamame as accompaniments.

My favorite Sawaya Matsumoto, I opened a bottle because I had some in stock 😋. Basically, I like to try different kinds of sake, but this one is exceptional. I drink it regularly.

Recently, I noticed that Sawaya-Matsumoto's crest and our family crest are the same 👀.

I went on a business trip to Okinawa. I had to buy this 😠. I was in Uruma City, but didn't have time to stop by Taiseki Sake Brewery, so I bought it on Kokusai Dori. Nakamura Sake Brewery always seems to have Reimei Junmai Sake in stock at the beginning of the month, but now they are out of stock at the end of the month... 🥲. Taste... The sweetness is very noticeable. It is that kind of sweetness because brewing alcohol is added, but it is a little different. It is not so sharp, and the sweetness remains in the mouth. As the package says, it is a local sake unique to Okinawa. The ingredients, manufacturing process, and flavor are completely different from those of sake. I see 🤔. It doesn't go well with sashimi 🙁. I wonder, it might go well with raftage or chanpuru after all! I wish I had tried Junmai sake!

I'm a big fan of this comic. I had no idea it was turned into booze... This brewery is famous for Toko. The green label is often seen in supermarkets, but this one is gold 😆. The price is also high, 2500 yen including tax! I found out that the sequel "Kabuki Journey" is being serialized and bought this as an adult, I happened to find it online and for some reason the liquor store had it and I bought it immediately 😭. I wonder why they have this sake and if the president of the brewery is a Keiji fan. Not so much the taste, but the dialogue on this package is too maniacal and too tasteful. If you look at Sake-no-wa, there is a post from 8 years ago, it seems to be a long-lived product even though it is a character product. The taste is... gentle and elegant sweetness, or to put it in Keiji's style, a sense of elegance 😋 and the second half has a great sharpness. A really good representation of Keiji Maeda🤣.
