Cup of sake for dinner.
I bought it at HOKURIKU+ in Umeda 🙆♂️
It's a brand from Ecchu Yatsuo, a light, dry and smooth cup 🍶.
I'd love to go see the Owara Kaze no Bon Festival someday 😌.
The second cup was the One and Only daughter.
Although it is labeled as super dry, it was my favorite dry sake for women's sake, just like the gentle and glamorous name 🍶.
It was delicious. 🙆♂️
Drinking alone at an izakaya in Namba 🍶.
First of all, I tried Kariho from Akita for the first time.
It was a very dry and easy to drink drink drink with a moderate sweetness and a crisp finish. 🙆♂️
I like the feeling of drinking from this Ozeki Masu and glass, which gives it the feel of a popular izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
I bought this at HOKURIKU+ in Umeda.
Toyama sake follows from here🍶.
The first one is Ariiso, a local sake from Himi.
It is a light, dry sake with a hint of sweetness, but also has a mellow feeling.
Next time I have this sake, I would like to have it with seafood from Himi 🐟.
I bought a bottle of Nada's local sake 🍶 when I was in Kobe.
It is a light, crisp, dry sake that goes down smoothly with a meal.
The pattern on the chiyogami paper seems to be different for each bottle.
The last one is Hanagaki from Fukui.
Limited edition of 3500 bottles of sake🍶.
A sweet and fruity cup.
This is my second time to try Hanagaki and both times I liked it!
The dried firefly squid we had with our entrée was absolutely delicious 🤣.
Three kinds of Hokuriku sake comparison at HOKURIKU+.
The first one is Sanjoraku from Toyama.
The rice flavor is more robust than I expected, and it seems to be similar to Ishikawa's sake 🤔.
It has a classic taste and looks good warmed up!
At Toyoshuku's restaurant in Yamato Saidaiji.
I had a cup of sake that was warmed up 🍶.
It was a well-balanced heated sake with just the right amount of rice flavor to relax you. 🙆♂️
I bought this bottle at a department store.
It was a light, dry sake with a subtle umami flavor typical of Nada-Gogo, perfect for a mealtime drink 🍶.
It was originally made by a sake brewery called Kimura Sake Brewery, but was given to Sakura Masamune when they went out of business in 2010.
A bottle purchased at the supermarket.
It is a sparkling sake that is fruity and sweet, but also has the gentleness that is typical of Fukushima🍾.
It was easy to drink and delicious. 🙆♂️
After work. I drank Tamagawa for the first time in a while.
It has a unique bitter flavor, but it's also very sharp 🍶.
As I get more and more into Japanese sake, I'm starting to like this kind of austere sake 🤣.
The second cup was Suitama from Akita.
It was also fruity, but unlike the Garakudai, this one felt mellow 🍶.
It may be better suited for a meal than Hanayuyuu from the same brewery 🤔.
The 800th check-in was Gagakuyo for a drink outside.
This is the second time I've had it, but it was slightly gassy and juicy with a wonderful aftertaste, and this is truly a beautiful sake 👏👏👏👏.
It was a very satisfying drink that deserved to be called "Kiriban"!
Hello, Tatsu-san!
Congratulations on your 800 check-in 🎉!
Masayo is delicious - and Suitama's Kame-no-o next door is delicious too 😋.
Let's continue to have fun with sake 🤗
Congratulations on your 800th check-in, Tattsu-san㊗️🎊🎉!
Kiri number with Garakudai's now-only draft sake, that's drunken. ☺️
May you continue to have a wonderful sake life 😊🍶.
Congratulations on your 800 check-in, Tattsu-san. ㊗️🎊That's a great celebration with a convincing Masayo-san who deserves the kilometer number. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you in the future 😊.
Thank you, Hirupeco!
It was a drink worthy of the number 1 spot 😊.
I will continue to drink with the momentum of 1000 check-ins as a passing point 🍶 lol
Hello, Tattsu 😃
Congratulations on your 800 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ with great satisfaction Masayo 🎉 The big one is also a passing mark! Quite a feat 🤗.
Sake produced at Sakurao Brewery in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima 🍶.
It is claimed to be dry with a low alcohol content of 11%, but when served with hot pot, it was a sparkling sake with a hint of sweetness: 🙆♂️
It was delicious!
A cup of Hida Takayama sake purchased at a department store.
It is a light, yet gentle cup with a hint of sweetness and umami flavor that goes down smoothly.
The saruboko (monkey) on the cup is also a nice regional touch!
At Sugitama in Tennoji.
First, a junmai sake Sugitama🍶 made by Momogawa.
A cup of mildly spreading rice flavor.
I think it is also delicious warmed up!
The last is a virtidian that is a hibakusha drink.
It has a fruity grapefruit-like citrus taste with a slight gassy sensation. It was indeed a cup of Shinsei. 🙆♂️
The second cup, Jurakudai by Sasaki Shuzo.
It is a light but slightly fruity sake with a hint of sweetness.
It is a very Kyoto-like sake and I liked it too 👏👏👏.
