Today's bottle is my favorite Genshu Mai!
I know it tastes good after drinking it many times, so I can open the bottle with confidence!
You can really taste the characteristics of Yamadanishiki.
It's so good!
Hatsuneya🪶.
I was stocking up on a golfing expedition and chose Omachi from three different varieties.â
Slightly sweet aroma
The volume that is typical of Omachi is modest.
But it has a great spread in the mouth 👍.
Gentle attack with sharp acidity
It's so good!
Today I went to the same golf course ⛳️ as last month for revenge. Last month it was so windy I could barely stand up straight, but today was calm, sunny, and windless. It was supposed to be a perfect golf day 🏌️♂️...
The result was exactly the same score 😩I had no excuses and swore I would never go back😅.
However, on the way home, I stopped by two liquor stores that I don't get to visit very often.
So, I quickly re-chilled the Suitama I bought and had it for my own reflection 😋.
When it is chilled well, the sweetness and umami appeal to me.
When the temperature rises a little, bitterness and a little spiciness appear and change the impression 🤔.
Even if I can't play golf, I can drink good sake 🆗.
Hi there, Bosuke 😃.
Me too, but golf ⛳️ might as well have something to excuse me 😆 and a reminder from the real life 😁 liquor store I'm going out to is the right course of action 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
My golf game was so bad that I switched my thoughts to what to buy on the way home 😅.
If I go to the northern part of the prefecture, the liquor store will be my main destination 🫡.
Today we went out for a drink at a yakitori restaurant run by a classmate 😋.
We had Mutsu Hachisen Midori label.
It's delicious, fruity and aromatic....
I was drunk because I had it all at once along with the yakitori, which is their specialty.
It was delicious and went well with the meal.
The yakitori was great and the stewed motsu was delicious 😋.
The take-out yakisoba was also delicious 😋😋.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
I saw this post and once we were talking about going to a yakitori restaurant this weekend ‼️, but I guess we're going to take it slow and drink at home 😅😆.
Yakitori and Yasen! Yum 😋.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The yakitori was delicious, but I forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it😅I would have had a better image if I had a picture 😅...
Another year, another annual snowman: ⛄️
I'm of the school that mixes it up from the beginning... ♪
It tastes good no matter how many times I drink it 😋.
It's easier to drink and tastier than last year's 🤔
No need for detailed explanation!
I want one more bottle 🥰 of Tochigi Ai 🥰.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Snowman ⛄️ is one that really makes me feel like it's the end of the year and it's one I can't miss♪
It's delicious every year 😋.
If you are a member of Tochigi Prefecture, you must drink Kirifuri, and I finally bought it at a roadside station during my expedition.
I bought a bottle of Tokujun, which has the aroma and acidity of Sentori itself 😋, but it is more rounded than the usual Sentori.
I haven't had Sentori in about 5 months because I thought I could drink it anytime, but Kirifuri is good too👍.
I'd like to try Junmai Ginjo someday.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Oh! The proof of a Tochigi resident 😆 🤗!
I can feel the local advantage to be able to enjoy this 😌It's really delicious 😋.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I finally got my hands on it😅
I had seen it at a roadside station for a while now, but your story about the members has convinced me 😁.
I wanted to try Mikotsuru Nigori... I stocked up on it during my golf outing.
I was nervous when I opened the bottle, but I was totally fine.
The silky mouthfeel and good balance make it very easy to drink 😋!
It's so easy to drink that it doesn't feel like it's 16%. It's so smooth!
The third one is a shrine near where I went to stock up today: ⛩️
It was so beautiful and spectacularly colored that I stopped the car and snapped this photo 📷.
When I'm feeling tired, nature heals me, and I usually just pass by 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke😄.
I like Miko's active nigori!
It's a little bit mature this year,
I love it.
It's a summer sake, but it's good this time of year too!
Good evening, Harry!
Miko-chan's nigori is said to be mild this year, but it's delicious 😋 I love it too!
The label says bottled in May and the cap says shipped in November. Is it aged at the brewery 🤔?
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Golf ⛳️ expeditions are more fun at the liquor store after the round 😁.
We also had this one and it was easy to open the bottle 😉 It's sure to be delicious👍.
Mr. Bosuke konbanhas a decision.
Gokotsuru no nigori ❣️
The one that was delicious🎶.
When you are tired, being in the great nature is the best healing 🌊🗻.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I can only look forward to the paradise that awaits us even if our score is not good enough 😃.
We'll be in the same place again next month, so our first goal is to get revenge on 🏌️♂️ 😆.
New Tasake sake again this year!
It's been 5 months since the last Tasake
The sweetness is like apple honey, accented by a hint of bitterness! It's fresh but sweeter than last year 😋.
Well, it's Tasake, so there's no doubt about it👍
Today, I have been curious for a long time about Kuroemon XVI ♪
My first Kuroemon was Aizan's 13th, so I knew it would be my favorite already!
As expected, it's sweet and fruity, and at 13%, it's easy to drink 😋.
Let's enjoy the changes from tomorrow!
Seven's beef konnyaku with green onions is also delicious 😋.
Good evening, Bousuke 😃.
Congratulations on your first Kuroemon ❗️ 🎉!
I guess you got this one on your way back from golf ⛳️ in Otawara 🤗Take your time and savor it 😊.
You can't go wrong with Seven's knobs 😆.
Erin, good evening 🌙
This drink is delicious!
Today I'm having it again with Seven's ham and basil potato salad 😋, the second day is more fragrant and more delicious 😁.
Yesterday and today, 12 hours of outside activities from early morning every day, and it's cold 🥶I hate cold weather. 😮💨
I was able to do some stocking up while I was out and about, so today is my first Jikin in a while...
The aroma, sweetness, umami, and bitterness are well balanced.
As you all know, it's delicious and I'm drunk for the first time in a long time. It's only 18:00🤣.
Good evening, Bosuke 😃
You can't go wrong with Jikin's Tokujun 🤣I love it too 🤤I bought Ozeyuki after reading Bousuke's review: ✌️ It's not a light nigori but a first shibori... 😅
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌙.
I've been on standby for a long time with the ones I stocked up on in the summer 😅It's been a while for me too!
I played golf in Otawara yesterday so I took the Saito-san -> Kenmoku-san route home 🚙.
I haven't had Ozeyuki in about 10 months 🍈.
Melon🍈 on the store popup, honey apple🍎 on the back label, either way it must be delicious😋 and lightly cloudy!
I drank it and thought "ah, I knew it".
It's delicious 😋.
It has a strong yet crisp flavor like honey apple and a slight bitterness from the sweetness like a young melon!
It's the best 👍
Good evening, Mr. Bosuke ฅ👒🌱
Oh, I should have bought some 🥺.
I only regret that I should have bought this one out of the cooler that I had no choice but to buy at the first liquor store I stopped at in Sendai 😭.
Good morning, Erin 😃.
My first Ozeyuki was so good I wanted to go to the next one as soon as possible, but it was 10 months later 😅 Ozeyuki is my strike no matter which one I drink 😃.
Good evening, Rafa 🌙
Ozeyuki is a strike in my book.
And you have to go a bit out of your way to buy it, so I went for it at the last prefectural meeting 🏹.
This is a collaboration between Rafa and kan.
When I got home, I had some edamame and oden, so I decided to try Aki-shika because I thought it would be good for sake.
I served it half cold and half lukewarm.
The cold sake is a harmony of the aroma of the sake and the aroma of the cypress wood in the bowl, while the lukewarm sake is mellower and more pleasant to the nose!
I've been wanting to try this one for a while now.
It's fruity with a nice fresh gasiness and sweetness 😋 with a very slight bitterness that is just right.
It's cheap and tasty...
Well, the other day we had our 4th annual Tochigi Prefecture citizens' meeting, and I haven't posted anything 😅I'll leave it up to you 🙇.
The toast was of course Tochigi sake, which I heard is not distributed in the world, but I'm sure Dora-chan's power 💪 is terrific.
I was just getting quite drunk, so I don't remember the details... But it was really tasty!
I was surprised to find out that they had Marilabels, Katsuma, Senkyoku, and I think they had some Jyushidai on the way, but Kanki was also a surprise!
This time, celebrities from Tokai, Kansai, Tohoku, and our neighboring rival prefectures gathered in the heart of Japan!
They were all very strong people, and there were a few drinks that I didn't touch 🤤.
I had to leave early Sunday morning due to an early morning appointment, but I think I had a good time 😊I really wish I could have stayed longer!
Mr. Bousuke konbanhar ¡´Thanks for your decision.
Thanks for the offline meeting *´ㅅ`)"
I was so nervous because there were so many famous people.
But I'm glad I was able to participate in the fun party ⸜.
Good evening, Mr. Bosuke!
Thank you for your hard work on the off-line meeting 😊I guess it must have been a great party with lots of members and rare drinks 😄I hope you had a good time early next day.
Good evening, Erin!
Thanks for joining us from far away.
I was also nervous because many of us had never met before 🫨.
But since we are connected by "Sake no Wa", we can easily get along with each other 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌙.
It was a lot of fun as usual, and we had more than our usual waffling 😁.
The next day, I was sleepy from early morning next to my boss driving 🥱I said to him, "I'll change driving" just in case 😝.
Good morning, Bousuke 😃.
Thank you very much for letting me join the Tochigi Prefectural Association😊I was also nervous because it was the first time for me to meet you except KAN 😅Let's have another drink 🍶.
Good morning, Rafa 😃.
It was an honor to have all the famous people gathered in Tochigi. Thank you very much for your precious time.
I think it's the sakewa that makes us feel at ease so soon....
KAN, it was my pleasure 😊.
It was fresh and fun to meet so many of you for the first time. Thank you so much â
It's stimulating to meet so many different people👍
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke😄
The prefects' party was a lot of fun 😆🎶It was really a lot of fun with celebrities coming from far and wide 🤗🎉.
I'm glad you could drink some of Dora's rare sake 😋💕.
Let's have a drink again next time!
Good evening, Mr. Bosuke 😊They were all amazing people and I was a little nervous 🫣And we had a lot of good drinks too, it was a happy time 😚Thank you again!
Good evening, Tsubu-chan🌙
I had a great time - the time went by really fast and I had to save it, but I went around quite a bit.
Dora Sake as always 👍I can't get it myself 😋.
Good evening, Kotori.
I know you are nervous 😬 but you will be released soon.
I had a great time with a variety of good drinks.
I hope to see you again 👋
Good evening, Bousuke 😃.
I know it's a little late, but thank you for the prefect meeting 😊I'm not afraid of anyone anymore! I'm not afraid of anyone anymore 😆.
A lot of things are a secret 🤔 Asahi Koh "Masidaya's Challenge".
I was curious about it since I saw it on youtube so I pre-ordered it 🫡I have only 11% information about the wooden vat brewing.
I sipped it, thinking that this is the aroma of Watanabe Brewery's wooden vat, and while it gave me a different impression from the other wooden vats I've had, it was smooth, partly because it's 11%.
The wood vat feeling is not so strong.
It has a gentle sweetness.
I'm not sure about the specs, but it's a slurp 🆗.
Love Tochigi
Good evening, Mr. Pousuke 😃.
Quicksilver! You're early 😊I haven't pre-ordered it since Nobby stopped going in the Mashidaya direction recently, but I wonder if it's in the store 🤔11 degrees is a bad blink-and-you'll-miss-it type of drink 🤗I'd love to try it!
Love Tochigi 🥰.
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃.
I think it's there because I pre-ordered it but it was also available in the store🤞.
J &N home would be a real blink of an eye, maybe 10 minutes 😆.
First young wave 😋.
I don't know what it is 🤔It looks like something I drank in the past but I can't find anything like this 😅.
Well, this is easy to drink! Delicious! The aroma is good too!
Fruity, sweet and tasty, it changes the atmosphere slightly as the temperature rises.
You don't feel the alcohol 16 degrees at all, so you can go on and on with it!
It is best chilled and served in a wine glass.
Good evening, Mr. Bosuke😊.
Congratulations on your first Wakanami 🎉
I also drank the standard Jungin the other day and found it easy to drink! I would love to try this Kotobukinmu as well ❣️
Good evening, Pon-chan.
My first Wakanami, it was a bit of a surprise! It was delicious and easy to drink. It was so easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content, I thought it was bad and switched to the rest of Hana Yuu 😅.
Good morning, Bosuke 😃.
Congratulations to Hatsuwakanami-san ㊗️ 🎉
When was the last time we drank? I looked back and found it was the end of the year before last 😅Chilled a glass of wine 🥹Tastes so good 😋!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Morning is early for traveling... 😃.
Mr. Wakanami, it's fragrant and slushy, so a glass of wine is best 😃.
J&N family, what fun awaits you today🤞.
Hanayuup, Rikuwada😋 opened yesterday.
The sweetness is irresistible! Delicious!
I got my long-sought 4-goupe bottles in a row: ✌️✌️✌️
I think it's more rounded than the first day 🤔.
No need to say much.
I feel like I know what's wrong with sake 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke😄.
Rikuwada looks delicious 😋.
I personally really like Hanayuup on the 3rd day 😘.
Yamadanishiki is next 😁I'm waiting for Rikuwada👍
I have been curious about this sake for a while.
I stocked up at Saito-san during a hot spring expedition.
The aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is a bit dry.
It has a moderate acidity, a slight freshness, and a slight sense of maturity.
But overall it is very clear.
It was delicious with grilled chicken with yuzu kosho and sesame oil-scented namul.
It is a well-balanced sake that goes well with meals👍.
Hello, Bousuke 😃
I also found this at ‼️ and even picked it up, but I wanted something lighter 😅I didn't want to go through with it 😅It looks delicious as a food wine 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
I've been wondering about you since the first time I visited 🤔.
The second day, the aroma increased slightly, but it was still clear and dry.
It doesn't interfere with the meal👍
On Saturday, I went to a hot spring in Nasu Shiobara ♨️ with some of my colleagues who will be retiring next year.
It was all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, but there was only one type of sake available, so we gave up and just drank it 😋.
I thought it might be a bit yellowish and alcoholic, but it was surprisingly easy to drink, with a nice aroma and a hint of sweetness.
There was no label on the back, so I looked it up later and found out it was from Tochigi 🤔Shiraisou Sake Brewery in Nakagawa Town.
I wondered if it is wholesaled exclusively for this kind of places. I couldn't find it on the internet.
I was wondering what to do about the check-in, but since it was an unknown sake from Tochigi, I'll upload it.
After everyone had drunk and eaten so much, we decided to go to the after-party at a teishoku izakaya (set meal restaurant) in front of the hotel.
They only have two kinds of sake here!
I had a plum soda to cleanse my palate first, and then I had a Suehiro Dry Sake, which was really hot!
I was too full to go in!
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
I'm glad to hear that you're a good friend of the company and that you're going on a hot spring ♨️ trip with your colleagues 🤗I would have liked it even better if there was a little more variety of sake 😅.
I don't know any sake in Tochigi 🤔I'm sure Alanin would know some 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke😄
Onsen ♨️ is nice ❣️
I wish they had more kinds of sake, even if it was local sake 😥.
I wish they had a lot of different kinds of sake, even if it's just local sake 😋... I'm glad it's easy to drink at least 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
It's been a while since I've been to a hot spring after a day of golf and a night of drinking.
But it was not so easy to sleep with a bunch of old guys snoring 😅.
I think Alanin would know this drink 🤔.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan🌙
The food was pretty good and I wanted to drink a variety of sake!
I should have taken pictures of the food too😅
I didn't know about this sake but it was delicious 😋The hot spring was great too!
Today we will have a stable Houou Mida 😋.
It's still delicious and I'm thankful for it, but the first day was a modest Black Phoenix Aizan.
I can feel the change in temperature and the change in sweetness.
I have a feeling that tomorrow it will be even more spectacular 🤔.
Good morning, Bousuke 😃.
It's a stable and sure one 🤗.
I hear that it opens better if you leave it in the sun, so I'm looking forward to seeing it open 🌸😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
This is a stable & secure one 😃.
I felt it was tepid on the first day, so I re-checked it today.
The sweetness after the temperature was up was quintessential 😃.
