It's past time for a drink 🍶.
We were invited to the home of our town's sake master and were treated to some wonderful sake 😆 The first bottle was "Nozomu" ❗I used to drink Nozomu, which was very dry, but this was my first nigori!
The first bottle was "Nozomu" which I haven't had in a while ❗The Nozomu I had a long time ago was very dry, but this was my first nigori (nigori)! And "Hitogokochi" is good 🎵.
Gentle but refreshing 😋 Goes well with food👍.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃.
Nozomu-san's nigori! It's really delicious 😋.
The fact that Hitogochi is produced in Tochigi is also a point of interest 🤗.
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃.
It's been a while since I had a good Nozomu 😊There are many kinds of Nozomu and I want to get drunk on the different flavors 😆I especially want to try the Nozomu Splash 😉.
This is a past drink 🍶.
The sweet taste of Kangiku is stable ❗It may have been a little less sweet than last year's Kenaiyama 🤔This is also good 👍
It has already melted, but in early March, drift ice will be arriving at the shore ❄️ It is different from the ones that have just frozen on the surface of the sea❗In simple words, each one is very big like a rock ❗
The sheer size makes you want to get on it, but you mustn't. ❗ You will be swept out to sea.
You may be swept out to sea. ‼️
Good evening, Mr. Menshuoh!
There are many different series of "Sono Kangiku", but they are all delicious 🥰.
Oh? Is this a drift ice?
It's true that each one is so big that I feel like I could ride on it 🧊.
We had a sake party the other day 🍶.
Opened a bottle of Hirotogawa purchased at Suzuden in Tokyo 🙌!
It's hard to find, but you can't go wrong with Hirotogawa 👍.
Hello again here, Mr. Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I stocked "Hirotogawa" the other day, but I was worried about the different specs from this one and decided against it ✨.
I'm curious about this one too 🥰.
We had a sake party a few days ago.
The friends from Akita prefecture who invited us brought their own sake ❗Chokaizan is so good, I'm so glad 😆.
Chokaizan has an image of deep flavor, but the nigori sake is gentle and refreshing 😋.
We ran out of the bottle in no time. ‼️
New year, busy 😰.
We had a sake party about a month ago 🍶.
We had a sake party about a month ago 🍶 We had a sake party 🍶 I got this moon after rain 🌙 from takeshon
It's a good one ❗.
Thank you so much 🙏.
It was so delicious 😋!
Hello, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Good luck in the new year 🙇.
I just stocked up the other day after not drinking it for a while myself ✨.
I haven't had it for a while myself, so I stocked up the other day✨.
I'm looking forward to opening it now 😁.
Hi Gyve 😃
I know you are all busy 💦 I am back in my old department and my frequency of drinking is currently decreasing 😭I would like to drink a little more once I get back on track 🤤.
At my favorite pub ❗
White devil of the federation! No, it's "Shinshu's White Sake" 😁I don't need to tell you 😁Kawanakajima ❗It's my first white one ✨ummmm delicious 😋It has a good taste and good mouth feel typical of Shinshu ✨It's so refreshing and soothing without being relaxing and it makes my drink go further 🎵.
The battle of Kawanakajima, Bishamonten's blessing, Kenshin Uesugi's wheel-climbing, and Shingen Takeda's invincible cavalry of Takuboku-tori! Both heroes will fascinate you in 2025 ✨.
At our favorite pub ❗
Meat dishes were served and I wanted a spicy sake, so I ordered Okuharima❗❗
I ordered Okuharima, thinking it would be so spicy that it would cut me in half, but it was spicy but not that spicy ❗
Oh, I see! It is "mellow dry", and the mellowness is well expressed. ‼️
This is good as well 😋 It is a great embodiment of what the label says 😉.
I've been so busy that I'm going to post tomorrow and tomorrow I'm going to post tomorrow, so I've been accumulating my past drinking records 💦.
I'm not able to go to pubs as often as I'd like due to my transfer, and people related to my work gave me a farewell party ❗I'm very grateful for all the support I've received both publicly and privately, including this time ❗I'm really grateful 🙏.
I'm glad that I can have it every year when I come here 🎵They are refreshing but light nigori.
It's refreshing but light nigori, and the balance of the sake is perfect 😋.
It goes great with seafood 👍
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine 🌛.
Good job preparing your workplace for the new year 🙇.
It's hard to go to your favorite restaurant 😅
Kuheiji ✨
I can't get enough of the deliciousness 🥰.
Hi there, Noodle Sake King 😃.
Even if you don't raise the sake waa, the drinks go bang 😋 so you can save up sometimes 😅.
I think I might miss you guys more at the restaurants that are harder to get to because of the move 🥹.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
It seems like everyone is busy processing the end of the year and preparing for the new year💦.
I'm afraid I won't get a chance to go to the pub very often, but I hope to visit a few times a year and have a good drink 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
We are so grateful for all the help you have given us and the people you know 😌 It's not easy to get there, but it's the power of alcohol that connects us there: ‼️
My colleague brought me this sake 🍶.
Don't stop the Noto sake!
It is a friendship brew with Tsuruno Sake Brewery and Yoshida Sake Brewery! It seems that Noto still has a long way to go before it is fully recovered 😢I sincerely hope for a quick recovery.
I have had the sake rice "Ishigawamon" from Tedorigawa in the past, and I have an image of how delicious it was 😆.
This TANISEN also has a nice Ishikawa sake-like zushin feel to it 😋 It's not as zushin as the Kurobelt I had before, but I want to feel this zushin feeling regularly 😁.
I found Naruto sea bream at a supermarket in a neighboring town 👀I've always wanted to try it 😊The fact that it's in cans is also nice 🎵.
The alcohol content is high and it's very strong, but the flavor is also very strong and delicious 😋.
I'd like to drink this one often 👍
Every year on Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day), I take a picture of my children in front of the small hina-dan (Girls' Bedroom) 📸.
They've grown up since the first year! It's natural😅.
Hello, Menzake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Sake from Shikoku is precious ✨I think it's the most scarce in the region 🤔.
Kids grow up so fast 😮💨
I'm sure they'll be saying [dad, you stink] in no time 🤣.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
My daughter already says I smell like a father sometimes 😭 but she also says she wants to sleep with me so I make her think she likes me somehow 😁Tokushima sake is really precious ❗
The end of the year is a busy time 💦I've accumulated a lot of photos of past drinks😅.
It's been a while since I've had a Yaemon 🍶 It's delicious with the crispness and freshness of freshly squeezed sake 😋.
I received an unofficial notice of personnel change and will be transferred to a new facility and department in April. I will have to return the sake stored in my refrigerator to my home. But it won't fit in our small cellar 💧I need a saké cavi😆When I drunkenly told my wife the other day, "If you buy a saké cavi and deliver it to our house without permission, we won't have any choice~✌️" she said, "If you do that, I'll seriously smash all the sake bottles👹" 😨.
That's the kind of thing I'd seriously do‼️ my wife's eyes were already completely cracking up 😟.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine. 😊
I'm a sucker for a liquor cabin. 😂
My wife says I should buy one.
I wish I was 10 years younger.
I'm not sure I'd be able to take the plunge if I were 10 years younger 😋.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Liquor 👏.
I'm sorry to hear about your move 😳I wish you the best of luck in your new location 👏.
I'm not sure if you're going to do the salmon caviar purchase operation on your own or not? I'm sure you will 😁.
Mr. Noodle Drink King
Good evening...I know the transfer is hard on you both physically and mentally 💦Good luck 🙏The sake cabin has no place to put it at home 😱Drink and buy! Buy and drink! That's all I can do 🤣.
Hello, King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
Departmental change! Good luck in your new place ‼️
Refrigerator problem 🤔 how about buying a muddled salmon cavi 🤗 just put the salmon and sake in it 😆.
Good morning, Hanapin-san 😃
Has your wife given you a GO sign to buy a sake cabin⁉️ that's an immediate purchase before she changes her mind‼️ we hope she changes her mind😭
Good morning, Ace 😃
Okay 🦾I'm going to try the buy it on my own 🦾‼️ If my wife is really pissed off now, I said "Ace, you should try it!" I was just saying ❗and I was like 🙏 please sacrifice Mr. Ace 🙏.
Good morning, kozo 😃.
That's the way it should be ❗My wife also tells me "if you run out, buy some more" 😅.
But we don't have an abundance of sake in the countryside of East Hokkaido ❗If you don't buy it, it will run out soon and you will regret it 😰.
Good morning, Nochi 😃.
That strategy doesn't work on my wife.
Usually husbands lose their wedding rings (what is normal? 😓), but in my house, my wife sometimes loses hers. She doesn't seem to have much interest in ornaments 😣.
Good morning, Pon-chan!
I've been trying to reduce the amount of sake I drink at once, but I can't. My liver might be in trouble 😵I'm so busy at the end of the year that I can't consume it all at once because of sake parties! I want to drink a bottle with care...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Oh, I see ❗We get seafood a lot, so maybe we can tell them with a salmon cavi (stocker) or something ❗No, it's too fancy for that, isn't it ⁉️ impossible 😝.
Good morning, Mr. Noodle King 😄 We bought Dora-chan on our own and set it up in the house when I was away.
I bought Dora-chan on my own and set it up in the house when I wasn't home 💦It's rather large so it takes up a lot of space and to be honest it's hard 😅But if it's not there, the fridge is 🌀And in the end the fridge is almost all alcohol... 😂.
Good evening, T.KISO 😃.
Urasui is good ✨It's a fashionable phrase like ‼️ anasui ✨I can feel the wide range of Akita sake ❗This is indeed Mr.KISO's home 🙇.
I went to my favorite pub the other day 🍺.
Found a sake I've never had 👀
Ryoukai‼️ Matsunoi's sake 🎵.
This year is the year 2025! I'm thinking of making a Nigori-shu year since it's the year 25 😊.
It has a soft roundness to it that makes it perfect for sashimi ✨.
The other day, I was playing futsal when my back started to ache 😲 I was thinking that my back might be hurting, and my friends asked me when was your prime time? I replied, "I'm in my prime right now. This is what I call an "upset back" 😨That's painful 😵.
Hello, Noodle Drink King 🐦.
I know it's painful 😰😰If you think you are having pain, it will be a hiccup, so please take care of yourself when you have pain 🥺.
I wish you a speedy recovery 🙏.
Good evening, King of Noodle Wine 😃.
Lingering! We've never seen it before either but it's a powerful name ‼️ Gicky back 😩 Actually Nobby has been suffering since yesterday 😢 hope you both get better soon 🙏.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle King 🌛.
I'm sorry you have a bad back 💦Take care 🙏.
I recommend physical therapy 🥰.
[This conversation sounds like "Golden Kamuy's" "Undefeated Gyuzan" 🤣.
Good evening, Choroki 😃.
When I was younger I thought back pain was nothing to worry about. I wish I could beat myself up for thinking that I had to take time off work, etc. ⁉️ because of that 😫.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Actually, I've been having chronic back pain lately, so I told my daughter to step on my back and get a massage! If there is any discomfort, it needs to be addressed as soon as possible 😉.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
How is Mr. Nobby's back pain?
I used to think ❗ what a pain in the back ❗ but now that I have it, it's painful and sad 😖We wish you a full recovery Nobby 😌.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
I haven't had any physical therapy or massage recently! I felt that I'm getting too old to do anything 😅I like Ushiyama, he's strong, but I want to be like Shiraishi who is cunning 😏.
On a business trip to Tokyo❗
Together again with the members of SAKEWA Tokyo 🍶.
We drank a lot again 🎵
Nochi, Yucachin, Asanami, Asuke, Dorayaki-chan, we had a lot of fun 😆.
We drank a lot of sake, but the first one we drank was "Sei" (‼️) which was delicious 😋 I'd like to try "hijirizumu" (hijirizumi) 😆 Gunma also has a lot of beautiful sake ❗❗
The time for fun goes by so fast! Thank you all so much for coming on a weekday when you have to work 🙏.
When you come to Hokkaido, we'll be happy to serve you👍.
After leaving Hasegawa Sake Shop, he brought us to Fukushima prefecture's antenna shop❗
Fukushima sake drinking comparison 🎵I'm so happy 😊.
Aizu Nakasyo is so good 😋😋 and Lomang has a nice sweetness 👍and "Abukuma" which I have never had ❗It has a clean, sharp mouthfeel and you can sip and sip it all the time ✨I like that they all have a Fukushima sake feel to them 😉.
After leaving the restaurant, we wandered around the city center 👙and realized how great the capital city Tokyo is 😲After work, Yuka-Chin and I met up at a standing izakaya 🍶As mentioned in Yuka-Chin's post, there is a restaurant that is related to Yuka-Chin and me 😲I was so surprised that such a restaurant exists in the middle of Kanda, Tokyo 💦.
The three of us had a great time drinking delicious Echigo sake 😆.
Hello again here, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I feel like it's only in Tokyo that there are stores that carry Niigata and Betsukai 😲.
It's a city where 10% of the entire population of Japan lives 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
The development of friends gathering gradually after work at the end of a business trip! Something cool like heroes gathering before a decisive battle 🤗.
Must have been a lot of fun in Tokyo🗼😚.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
The warriors gather after work and the work (drinking) begins again ❗ Adults are hard 😜.
It's great to meet members and drink with them on the road ✨.
On a business trip to Tokyo: ‼️
After all the meetings were over, I met up with Nochi-san from noon ❗Nochi-san took time off from work to come to the meeting for me 😲 I really appreciate it 🙏.
I really appreciate it 🙏🙏.
He brought me to "Hasegawa Sake Shop" in Nihonbashi! This place is also a treasure trove of sake ❗Various sake on display ✨But I had bought 6 bottles of sake the day before, and my wife would have been very angry if I bought any more 😫 Well, I'm already in the hammering position 😱.
We had lunch at the udon shop attached to the restaurant! There is also a set menu," said Nochi-san.
I ordered a single udon because my stomach was a bit weak from yesterday's binge eating and drinking!
Mr. Nochi, I'll confess now. I was actually having lunch 😅There is a restaurant in Jimbocho where chilled chuka originated, and as the King of Noodles, I had to go there! I just had to go there 🙏.
There are many theories about the first chilled chuka in Sendai, but eating chilled chuka in the winter is also a good idea 🎵.
I can't really say "I've already finished" to the hungry Nochi-san 😖, but the udon was delicious 😋.
Sake is the best with sake 🎵Gobashi's ride nigori has a nice sweet and sour taste with a good amount of sake flavor 😋It's consistently good ✨Nochi-san, sorry 🙇.
Hi there, Noodle Drink King!
If you're already sure you're going to get a mallet, I think it's more economical to buy more 🤣.
I know, I tend to over-calorie when I travel 😁.
In Tokyo on a business trip❗
After the meeting, I met up with Ms. Nachi❗Ms. Nachi kept me company the whole time!
I can't thank him enough 🙇.
We met at Yotsuya and went to a sake shop "Suzuden" 🍶.
I was so excited to buy some things, including Yamama, which I met for the first time, when the owner asked me if I wanted to try Hana-yosu. I was so excited that the shop owner brought it to me from the back of the store and asked me if I would like to buy it. ‼️ Of course I did.
After that, when I was waiting in line to eat ramen, I successfully scouted Mr. Dorayaki who was standing in line behind me to join the Sake-no-wa-kai 👍It was decided that he would join the last off-line meeting the next day😃It was not a pick-up 🙆It was a sincere effort to promote the goodness of Japanese Sake.
We closed the day with a glass of Asa-open at an izakaya near the hotel❗Good classic Asa-open 🙏.
Good morning, King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
You are too good a scout to have successfully recruited at the sacred place called Suzuden and to have decided to have an offline meeting the next day 😳.
You are a true scout 💪.
Thanks to you and Mr. Menshuoh, the circle of sake-no-wa has expanded. ☺️
Good evening Aladdin 😃.
I'm glad I could increase the number of sakewa & sake lovers ‼️ Welcome to the world of sake❗More specifically, welcome to the sake swamp 😏.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
The offline meeting the next day was a lot of fun 🎵
Both Tokyo and Osaka have a lot of nice liquor stores and izakayas ❗In this kind of environment, I'd be in trouble for drinking every day 😅.
Hi Gyve, good evening 😃.
Huayouyas, this is the first time you were able to buy it in the store: ‼️
I'm really grateful 🙏 I might be too lazy to open the bottle 😅.
Last week, I went to Tokyo for a work-related business trip 🛫.
I had a drink with Tokyo Sakegawa members 🎵.
The first day of the trip
We met up with Yucachin at Yotsuya for drinks at the first meeting, where Nocchi-san also joined us! After that, we went to the main venue "Kaimi" ❗
The members were MAJ, Ane, Yuka-Chin, and Nocchi 😊.
Thank you so much to Yuka-chan for organizing and to everyone 🙇.
We drank a lot of sakes that I have never had before 😲 Nanamizu, Umifudo, Naraman, Abekan, Kurumazaka, etc., but I met Amefall, which is often seen at Sakewa, so I will introduce it on behalf of everyone❗ Malic acid yeast....
Malic acid yeast...yes, it is very apple 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎...it is very apple 🍎🍎🍎.
We usually forget to take pictures, but this time we forgot to take a group photo too😅.
Tokyo is so great with all kinds of drinks ❗I forgot my business card, but I went to a printing business that can make it in 30 minutes and they made it right away 😜.
Thanks for the souvenir, Ane-san 😋.
Tenranzan from Nocchi: ⛰️
I've been wanting to try Igarashi, and I knew Tenranzan existed, but it's the same brewery ‼️ I'm glad it's my first time 😁.
And I'm also happy because it's my first time to try Risshun Asa Shibori 😆.
We also got a lot of popular processed meats from Saitama Prefecture and even some local beer from a collaboration with the restaurant ❗
Thank you so much, Nochi-san 🙇!
It's so fresh and crispy 🎵It's so easy to eat 😋 It's the kind of thing you lose without even realizing it!
The local beer is also great with the sausage 🎵.
The rest of this post will be related to Nocchi-san 😁.
