On the second day, after visiting Kegon Falls, we will finish the trip with Utsunomiya Gyoza (dumplings)! We will finish the trip with "Koubuna", which we drink every time we go to Utsunomiya. Sweet and refreshing aroma like sugarcane! The mouthfeel is light, with a hint of pear-like aroma and texture. It is dry with a dry and astringent taste, but it also has a mellow sweetness and richness that helps to reset the taste with the dumplings ✨. We also picked up a 4-goupe bottle of "Kirifuri" at a place J&N-san told us about! We finished our trip and Tochigi safely this year. Thank you for your help: 🙂‍↕️

I went to Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen on the last day of my trip! It's been a few years since I stayed here, but I feel at ease as if it were my parents' home since I've been coming here since I was a child. After enjoying a day trip to a hot spring and a stay at a hot spring hotel, we enjoyed a buffet and our first brand of Tochigi sake 🍶. The aroma was refreshing. It has a spicy, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili taste. It has a sweet taste like sugar cane and the richness and moistness of rice, making it a standard sake for a meal! The sweetness becomes more petite when heated up, but I enjoyed it with fried tofu! I'll be back again next year!

Good evening, Kotaro-san! It may be a common trend, but I enjoyed a nice hot meal and sake ✨. There's nothing like a drink and time spent at the wide-open porch of a hot spring hotel 😌.

I buy the NEWBORN series every year. This time, I saw Jungin and selected it without hesitation! I like the silky Junmai, but I also love the brightness of this one! The bottle is very lively and has not been fired in a long time 🚀. Fresh aroma of sweet and sour mixed with pineapple and apple. The palate is light and dry with a sweet and sour astringent taste. The taste is not assertive, so you can enjoy the fruity overtone and the fresh quality of the new sake! The combination of smoothness and gaseousness makes it comfortable to drink + the crispness that disappears quickly is exquisite and delicious and will not disappoint ✨. The new sakes from Gunma are now available and the season is in full swing! We are looking forward to seeing what new sake we can find this season👍!

Akagisan純米大吟醸原酒

I decided to drink this the day I was born ✨ This is a limited brewery release type of Akagisan that I bought in Gunma, Japan! It is one of the best in the series, second only to the centrifugal pure Dai. I will savor it to my heart's content! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was clear and transparent with a gorgeous apple-like aroma. The palate is clean and innocent, with a transparency like being on an ice stage. Later on, a mild and full flavor emerges with a melon-like glossy taste. The elegant flavor of Yamada-Nishiki can be felt in abundance, and in the latter half, the dry sharpness and mild acidity typical of "Akagisan" bring it all together to create a well-rounded taste! The clean, elegant "Akagisan" character and the tender flavor of Yamada Nishiki. It is truly superb ✨. Every year when I celebrate my birthday, I feel like it's the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year. Next year, I would like to drink the special Daiginjo, complete the Akagisan year-round lineup, and visit Kochi Prefecture, which I have not yet explored, to complete my 47-prefecture tour...!

Good evening, stst. Happy Birthday 🎉. I guess it's a year-end and New Year's tradition to celebrate with the most drunk Akagisan 🎵. I can't seem to find any sake from Gunma Prefecture, but I'd like to try Akagisan someday 😊.

Thank you, ma-ki-! As you said, it is an indispensable spring, summer, fall, and winter tradition for both birthdays and New Year's ✨. We have a wide selection of beautiful sake besides Akagisan, so if you see any Gunma sake, please give it a try!

Thank you, Pon! Your kind words are much appreciated ✨ I also recommend Jun Dai Yamadanishiki, which is not a pure sake. I also recommend you to buy the more affordable type of sake, Jun Dai Yamadanishiki, at Takasaki station and other places 👐.

It was given to me as a gift a day early! I opened the bottle immediately with sushi while soaking in the afterglow of Takano's parfait. I will enjoy it as a precious gift 🍣. The aroma is clear like a gentle breeze. The palate is smooth and transparent with a sense of purity. It has a round, full flavor with sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent tastes that are all combined into one harmonious circle. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it also has a good assertiveness as an accompaniment during a meal! The pure flavor of the rice and the light, elegant quality of the sake can be enjoyed, which is typical of top-ranked sake! The astringent and pungent taste remains in the second half, leading to a sharp finish, but it disappears quickly and easily, so you can enjoy it without getting tired of drinking it ✨. I don't often have the chance to drink a regular bottle, but even so, I can still feel the power of this wine deeply! It has become a special brand even as a gift 😌.

I always buy the pink label when I find it! It is my counterpart to the light dry Akagisan and light sweet Nabeshima Pink 😌. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is smooth, clean, sweet and crisp. The mouthfeel is clear, but the soft sweet flavor spreads immediately afterwards! The gasiness and refreshing acidity join in to give it a pure, clean, and refreshing taste despite its sweetness. It is a sweet and delicious taste of lychee and tropical fruits ✨. The astringency comes out in the latter half and finishes with a light sharpness, so it is easy to drink without being clingy! It goes well with stewed beef with sweet and spicy root vegetables! A great drink to start off a 4-day weekend 🍶.

The thirteenth cup of the last one is "Jyushiyo"! I brought it last because it was the same type that I first acquired and opened with a friend! Smooth and pear-like aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and mellow with rich fruity flavors of grapes, pears, and melon! It was not all sweetness and smoothness, but had a pleasant aftertaste as if you had a sweet and astringent grape ✨. We harvested 5 bottles on the way to the bar and had a drunken holiday covered in sake 🍶.

The twelfth drink of the last spurt is "Ecru," which has been a long time coming. Almost scentless. It is light and juicy with a woody, grapefruit-like citrus flavor. It was a modern taste with no angularity despite its acidity and sweet astringency!

The tenth cup is "Kuroryu," which I have not had for a while. Aroma of peach and melon. It has a sharp mouthfeel and a round sweet and sour taste with hints of banana and apple. It has been a while since I have had it, but the balance between the spread of umami, sharpness, and hints of aroma is as delicious as ever! It has a crisp aftertaste of spiciness and acidity, which makes it easy to drink👍.

The aroma has a tropical fruitiness, and the taste is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it is unfiltered and raw, with mango and banana flavors!

The sixth cup was "Li Bai," which I had not had since my trip to Sanin two years ago! Tropical fruit and rummy aroma. The taste is silky and has a gaseous feel. The astringency is the main taste, but the gas is pleasant on the tongue and I was able to drink it like a cider ✨. I was nostalgic for Matsue, Hagi, and Senzaki 🍶.

The fifth cup was a new "Eiko-Fuji" sake! Sweet crisp aroma like an apple with molasses. The mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pettiness. However, it gradually becomes fresh and tasty with melon and green apple sensations! The sweetness, spiciness, acidity, and astringency were felt in a perfect formation and were unbearably delicious👍.

The fourth glass was "Kamotsuru" attracted by the label. The aroma was clean and refreshing, with hints of lychee and plums. The palate is clean and more refreshing than the previous two. It is fresh and has a moderate sweetness. The bright sharpness, which is more like a dry astringent taste, was delicious and shined brightly during the meal!

The second cup is "Nirvana Tortoise" which has been a long time coming. It has a beautiful, yet rich sweetness on the palate. It has a molasses-like sweetness, mild acidity, and astringency. It was as delicious as a ripe citrus fruit! It was less quirky than the previous one, and the taste was more like a kijo sake.

I was out drinking with a friend yesterday! I had a lot of drinks and this morning I had a hangover, which I rarely have. I left just a few notes, so I'll sort them out and post them in order👍. First up was the first new sake of the season, "Koshi"! Aromas of pear, muscat, and berries. The palate is fresh, with a sweet and astringent acidity that comes through in a jwah-jwah manner. After the berry-like sweet and sour taste comes a lingering astringent taste like green fruit and sharpness. It was delicious and empty in an instant✨.

First white bakuren in a couple of years! This is one of the first ones that made me like the Bakuren and Kudo series👍. When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like green apple and muscat. The mouthfeel is crisp and light. Immediately afterwards, there is a pungent, chili pepper taste and an astringent taste that spreads out as if it is rooted in the mouth. The balance between the punch that befits the name "super-dry" and the clean, refreshing minerality in the mouth makes you want to roar, "Yum! It's so good you'll want to roar ✨. The aftertaste is crisp with a slight astringent aftertaste, and it's scary how you can drink it and forget it's 18-19 proof! This is my favorite dry sake along with "Akagisan" and "Kuroryu"! As much as I would love to get my hands on the black version if the timing is right 🤤.
