The fifth glass of the 700 CI achievement will be a sparkling type of "Flax Cat", which is personally my favorite of the Shinsei series! Aroma of citrus fruits such as tangerine and other non-habitual citrus fruits. It has a juicy taste with a sense of gas and sweet acidity. The astringency that comes afterwards is like a grapefruit taste, and you can drink it like a citrus carbonated juice ✨. I am very happy to celebrate my 700 CI milestone with "Blaxcat", the first "Shinmasa" I drank and was very impressed with 😼.

The fourth cup is "Jyushiyo". The aroma is gentle, elegant and gorgeous. It has a smooth, yet assertive, juicy & elegant flavor of melon and grapes, which keeps the sake flowing! It's a masterpiece 😋.

Second cup is my favorite "remnant. Custardy aroma. Rich sweet and sour flavor. Chilli acidity on the tongue. The balance of the sweet and sour tannins, which I also feel in white wine. You will want to enjoy it as a dessert sake!

Today, my friend and I went to the main Mongolian ramen restaurant, Mongolian ramen Nakamoto, to enjoy spicy food and explore Hachigata Castle 🍶. After walking around the magnificent castle ruins, it was time for sake. We had a lot of fun with some small talk! 👍 The first sake we rushed to drink was from "Tenpyo"! Apple and berry-like aroma. The mouthfeel is beautiful and the sweet, sour, spicy and astringent flavors are felt in sequence, with a juicy berry-like flavor. The astringent sharpness at the end of the palate makes it enjoyable both on its own and during a meal!

It's been quite a while since I've had "Gunma Izumi". I had been saving it as a souvenir sake from Manza, but I realized that half a year had passed, so I'll have some 👍. When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could smell the aroma of rice and straw. The mouthfeel is beautiful, as is typical of Gunma sake, but soon after, the unique flavor of old sake and a pungent, chili pepper taste come in. The acidity is typical of Yamahai sake, and while it is beautiful, it is also delicious with a strong punch! It goes well with the savory flavor of bonito tataki. It has some quirks, but it is relatively easy to drink among the same type of sake. Even though it's been a while, the stability is the same 😋.

I decided to go ahead and drink the souvenir sake as my stock has grown with Aizu souvenirs. This time it was a local sake from Laughing Shiki, bought at Hikone Castle! I still can't forget how the label was so simple that it caught me off guard 👁. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was gentle and full of rice. The rice polishing ratio is 60%, so it has a beautiful, almost ginjo-style aroma. The mouthfeel is soft. It has a delicious taste of rice, a slight sweetness, and a sourness that gradually spreads. It has a flavor like mature sake, soft but with a lot of depth. The transition from the umami to the crisp acidity and light sharpness is just the right amount for everyday use, and it is so delicious that we can only imagine how good it would be if it were heated up! It's already been half a year since I went there when the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom. Time flies by so fast 🫣.

Good evening, stst. Indeed, this label is too simple to be of interest 😆 I am curious! I'm curious to know what you think! I just saw a commercial of people eating nabe (hot pot) at a kotatsu, and I guess it will be the end of the year in no time. 😮‍💨

Good evening, Hirupeko! The label and the flavor are so different from the distributed products that you can feel a new aspect of "Laughing Season" 👐. I'm surprised that new sake is coming out soon, and a year really flies by 🫠.

The last is in a separate frame, "Izumigawa"! Gorgeous, elegant and pleasant aroma of melon and apple. The palate is clean and smooth. The balance of sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent is not too assertive, and the elegant, calm, and gorgeous aroma of ginjo complements this. Less umami than the one we had yesterday, but this sense of stability without excesses, deficiencies, or sharpness is habitually delicious ✨. On the last day of our round trip to Aizu, we visited "Sazae-do" and the graves of our ancestors, as well as the sake brewing exhibition at the Prefectural Expo. On the way back, we happened to go from the land of drunkenness to the land of dreams (Shinkansen)! I have many childhood memories of both Disney and Aizu, so I was able to enjoy myself as if I were a child again 😌.

Mr. STST Good evening! I too saw the exhibit at the museum last week. I like to drink Izumigawa with duck soup at a soba noodle shop along the museum. My favorite routine is to go to the museum café after dinner until I get to dawdle while looking at the view.

Good evening, Mr. Shouting Butterfly! There is nothing but the best duck soup split in Izumigawa...! I couldn't go there due to time constraints, but I was also curious about the cafe on the first floor, so next time I'd like to spend some time relaxing among the locals 😌.

The last one is "Nagurayama" on the far right. Gentle & gorgeous aroma like tangerine. Soft and pleasant on the palate with a good balance of sweet, sour and astringent tannins. Combination of lightness and silky! The sake was so delicious that it kept me going ✨. The sweet sauce of the "Sauce Cutlet Curry" goes well with curry! I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!

Next is "Daishichi," second on the right. Aroma of fermented seasonings like miso and soy sauce. The mouthfeel is also mellow, with a rich and deep flavor like men-tsuyu or bonito broth. However, the aftertaste is surprisingly spicy and refreshing. It is the most peculiar, but it was a perfect combination with simmered mushrooms and kipper!

Of course, we will end the trip with 🍶! So, as the season calls for it, we will be drinking "hiyaoroshi" in a comparison style! First, the leftmost "Okunomatsu"! The aroma is warm and fruity, like bananas and tangerines. It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a gentle flavor that spreads softly. It has a clean and refreshing taste with a roundness that is typical of autumn sake, which makes you want to drink it in small sips!

The last one to look back on is "Nagurayama" which we drank in the room. When the bottle is opened, you can smell the aroma of sugarcane. The overall lightness and drinkability of the sake does not betray the expectations of a cup, and it goes perfectly with the sweetness of the walnuts in the shiso maki! The sweetness and flavor of the sake, however, is not cloying, and the addition of sugar and brewer's alcohol does not make the sweetness or flavor any more pronounced or dull. A drink after getting out of the private onsen. It was the best!

I wasn't sure if I should include the fifth glass, but it was sake-based, so I went with "Bandaisan. I could feel the spiciness of sake and rice in the depths, but it was still an adult's apple juice. I drank it in one gulp and was done with my meal in an instant! Today we could see Mt. Bandaisan from the mountain side well 😌.

The fourth glass was the "Tian Ming" which was my favorite of all the ones we tasted. The aroma has a wide range of tropical fruits, apples, and melon. Smooth, moist mouthfeel and mild, moderate flavor. It has a thickness like banana and other tropical fruits, but the overall taste is integrated and not prominent. It was fire-brewed, but it was on sale, so I picked some up as a souvenir! I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between the raw and the unpasteurized 👍

The third drink is "Karahashi Aroma of mango and lychee The sourness that comes with a hint of spiciness, and the sweetness that spreads gradually. The spiciness is followed by the spiciness of the spiciness. The individual assertions are clear, but there is a good continuity, and the umami of Yamada-Nishiki also plays a key role, so the taste is pleasantly crisp! I didn't take a picture of the contents of the bottle, so I served it with "kozuyu" that was served at dinner instead.

Next is "Aizu Chusho. It has an apple-like aroma and a smooth sweet and sour taste.

While on the move, it was time to reflect on yesterday's trip to the hot spring resort. There was a little tasting corner, so I enjoyed it after the hot spring! First up was "Aizu Shikon. Wood and kiwi like aroma. Moist, banana and golden kiwi flavors. The spicy and acidic sharpness came later. It was easy to drink and was empty in no time👍.

I went on a trip to Aizu to dissipate after 6 consecutive working days! Yesterday, I took the time to enjoy Inawashiro (Kamegajo Castle and Dozu Shrine) and Tsurugajo Castle. After all, I feel at home in familiar places👍. And at dinner at the inn, I saw the word "Izumigawa"! I don't know what the specs are, but it's the one I've been longing for. The aroma is gorgeous and floral, with hints of apple and pear. It has a beautiful minerality on the palate, and the sweet, spicy, and bitter flavors are well balanced without being too assertive. However, the umami is stronger than that of "Tobiroki" and it is juicy and delicious ✨. The umami lineage gives the impression of being like "Miyazumi"! It was a supreme combination with the carp wash 😌.

It's been a while since I've been to Machida Sake Brewery! Since we have "Ryujin", we will enjoy both of Gunma's most talented sake brands in a comparison style ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell the fresh apple aroma. The palate is light, yet fresh, bright and juicy with melon and pear flavors as if it were directly pumped. The gasiness on the tongue is pleasant, and combined with the coolness typical of Gunma sake, it is a delicious drink that you can't put down! It has a juicy, direct sweet flavor, acidity, and a clear, refreshing aftertaste. The neighboring "Ryujin" is drier, but has a similar taste, and I think I caught a glimpse of the ability of both breweries, which are popular even outside of Gunma Prefecture👍. The one that is sold mainly within the prefecture and the one that is sold widely outside of the prefecture. I think it's interesting to see the differences in the essential flavors of each....... I'm thinking about it....
