The last one is Marusan-ya limited edition sake.
Of the three sakes we drank today, this one had the best rice sweetness and flavor.
This is also a sake that goes well with seafood and is very tasty!
The second cup is Hakugaku Sen.
This one is a straight, straight-forward, light, dry sake from the middle of the line 🙆♂️
I have the impression that there are many light and dry sake in Fukui, even in Hokuriku.
Except for Mai-bijin.
Today I went to Tsuruga for a day trip.
At Tsuruga's izakaya, Marusan-ya (Japanese-style pub) 🍶.
First, we had a glass of Kuroryu.
It is a light and dry sake with umami flavor, and I felt that it is indeed a Kuroryu.
It is a sake that goes well with fish. It was delicious!
The second bottle of the day was also a local sake from Itoigawa, Niigata🍶.
Elegant, crisp, light, dry, and delicious. 🙆♂️
It seems to go well with seafood, as Itoigawa is a port town 🐟.
After work today, we drank a cup of sake at home 🍶.
It was my first time to drink Hokusetsu, and it was a very refreshing and dry sake with a hint of sweetness typical of Niigata, and it went down very smoothly.
700 check-ins!
The house Jikin has come true again this year 😆😆😆😆.
A bottle of Jikin with typical sweetness and firm gassiness 🍶!
I've had it a few times this year, but I think this year's Jikin has more gas 🤔 lol
Good evening, Mr. Tatsu 😄!
Congratulations on 700 check-ins🎊🎉㊗️Celebrate with a Jishin home drink 🥂I'm jealous! It's more gassy this year🧐It's good for summer❣️I hope you continue to have a fun drinking life 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Tatsuko!
Congratulations on your 700th check-in 🎉!
It's great to drink Jikin-sama's special Junmai at home again this year 😋!
The sweetness and flavor of Jikin-sama with chili is the best bliss 🤤🤤.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
Thank you 😊
It's not easy to drink at home now lol.
You're right, it's very gassy, which is good for this season 😆.
We will continue to enjoy it!
Hi Tatsu, congratulations on your 700 check-in ㊗️🎊I am so jealous of your home drinking! This year it is more gaseous, which is what I think because I can drink it at home slowly 😆 May you continue to find wonderful sake 🙏.
Congratulations on your 700th check in✅🎊🎉!
Congratulations also on your home 🎉Jishin is a drink that I want to drink regularly 😆 Drinking it slowly at home is a supreme time 😊.
Hi Hiro!
Thank you very much😊
Yes, it is! It's one of my favorite drinks to drink regularly!
I think it's a real luxury to be able to sit back and enjoy it at home: ☺️
Hi, Tatsuko 😃
Congratulations on your 700 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ at home 🎉!
We haven't been able to drink at home for a while 🥲 but you have a great presence just by being here 🤗.
Last but not least, ocean99🌊.
Sweet and one of the juiciest drinks I had today: 🙆♂️
It tasted like drinking freshly squeezed fruit juice!
I want to drink this and watch the stars over Kujukuri... 🌌.
I live in Kansai, so it's really far away 🤣.
Next was Naminone.
Unlike Kido, this one was a gentle cup with a mild rice flavor.
The taste was predictable from the label, but I think this is quite important lol.
Next is the stable Kido.
It is sweet and fruity like muscat 🍶.
I've had Kido's Junmai Daiginjo a few times, so I know the taste, but it's still delicious no matter how many times I drink it 😋.
The third glass is also very good.
From the gorgeous aroma to the sweet fruity taste, it is a high level drink 👏👏👏.
It is amazing that they can make a wide range of sakes from sharp sakes like Bakuren to sweet fruity sakes like this 😳.
The second glass was a Niimasa Cosmos.
A sweet and sour and light sake like a sweet white wine 🍶.
I was going to order Viridian but they were sold out😅.
My wife and I were going to compare it with Niimasa, but we'll have to do it another time lol
Drinking with my wife after work🍶.
First, Izumo Fuji, which I have not had for a long time.
A cup that combines the robust flavor of rice with the refreshing feeling of a summer sake. 🙆♂️
It was delicious!
Good evening, Mr. Tatsu!
It's nice to have a drink with your wife outside after work ✨.
It's a refreshing yet delicious summer sake 😋.
I'd like to try Izumo Fuji's cloud series someday 🤗.
Drinking at home today, Nakashimaya, a local sake from Shunan.
A bottle with a pear-like sweet and sour taste and a surprisingly strong gassy taste 🍐.
It was a perfect bottle for this season with its low alcohol content of 13% and refreshing taste. 🙆♂️
The last one is Collage.
The last one is the Kakoraku, it's a very nice and fruity and sweet sake.
The last one is a very good one!
The last one is a very good one.
The sixth glass was a "chivalrous" sake.
It was a 3 year old sake with a unique aroma and flavor.
If I drink it again, I would like to have it warmed up.
Continued from yesterday.
Fujieda's local sake, Hatsukame.
It is a light and dry sake with a moderate aroma, and seems to go well with fish dishes. 🙆♂️
The price is only 2200 yen per bottle, making it an excellent value for money 👏👏.
The fourth drink was Hatsumigoyo, a local sake from Miyazaki.
It was a sake that was probably only available in Miyazaki 🤔.
I had it at room temperature and it was a classic drink with a strong alcohol taste.
I didn't know you can drink this in Osaka as well as Bibi Bibi lol.
The third glass is a local sake from Shodoshima.
It is a dry, refreshing sake with a sense of the seashore, and is best enjoyed with shellfish.
I didn't know you could drink this in Osaka 🤣.
The second cup is Wawa.
A modern cup with apple-like fruity and rich sweetness spreading. 🙆♂️
This sake was made in December last year in a brewery that was burned down last December, so it is believed that it was made just before the fire.
This year they are going to borrow facilities from Kurosawa Brewery in the same Nagano prefecture to manufacture this sake, and I hope that a new brewery will be built as soon as possible 🙏.
My wife and I went to Tennoji for a casual drink.
We went to a restaurant that only carries very reluctant brands 🍶.
First up was Asamayama from Gunma Prefecture: ⛰️
A fruity aroma to a refreshing one, good as a food sake. 🙆♂️
It was delicious!
