Tsuki after rain Ryoufu Junmai Ginjo
Good to drink in the gloomy ☔😊💓
Refreshing and refreshing!
Not much sweetness, umami, bitterness, and a crisp gasiness.
Delicious!
.
Went to a local liquor store a while ago.
Again I told them of my preferences and here is what they recommended, Koshi no Raikou!
Actually, I have a cough from my child,
I thought it was just a cold, but it seems to be whooping cough...
It's stronger than the mycoplasma I had last year...
Please be careful everyone!
I'll take it with all my heart, as sake is the best of all medicines 😊!
My sense of smell and taste are a little diminished, but...
The aroma is fresh and fruity, and for some reason, strawberry shortcake comes to mind?
The taste is sweet and sizzling, just the way I like it 👌.
Juicy sweetness, deep bitterness, and a sharp gasiness.
It is very refreshing and tastes good.
The zucchini tempura as a side dish was a hit!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! Thank you 🙏 Three members of my family except my husband are sick and it is a very tough cough 😱 I hope to make a full recovery and enjoy Koshi again!

Welcome party (2)
This time, my boss told me I could order extra sake, so I took his word for it,
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
We sat next to a guy from Aomori and drank Tasake 😊.
It was mellow with a hint of acidity.
I'm sorry to say that I've been ordering more and more sake at work parties lately, even though they have an all-you-can-drink policy 😄💦.
Hi Jay & Nobby ✨!
If I miss it, I always wonder when I can drink it again, so I end up ordering more 😄💦 Thanks to my co-workers who keep me company with sake, including my boss 😊🙏.

Welcome, newcomers to the company 🌸
So, a welcome party for new graduates who were assigned in May.
As the organizer of the party, we decided to go to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) with oden, which I had been to about 15 years ago.
There's only one type of sake for all-you-can-drink, but I asked for an extra order.
My first Jikin!
We all toasted together!
The aroma is refreshing!
The taste is smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness from the rice.
It went well with the oden soup stock 😊.
.
Last Saturday, I went to my in-laws' house despite being tired from working on a holiday!
I brought them my first "Saku", which I kept perfectly chilled in the fridge at work: ❗️
I can work hard to drink it... Tears!
My in-laws are both really good with all kinds of alcohol...
They didn't change their color and told me that I wouldn't feel like I drank a four-pack in no time. 🙇♀️
We all opened the bottle together!
The aroma is elegant and gorgeous.
The color is clear and colorless.
Taste,
What is this gentle sweetness?
After entering the mouth, a gentle honey-like sweetness of fruit spreads in the mouth.
It goes down your throat gently and you are immersed in the lingering sweetness 😊.
Everyone loved the taste 👌
Hi, Pinocchio 😃.
Thanks for working on your day off 😌It's nice to share the first 🎊 you've been looking forward to in such a situation with your parents-in-law 🤗It's great to share the goodness with everyone ‼️
I guess a bottle of sake is next 😅.
.
Niigata Sake No.3 (last)
A bottle of "Senki no Ippon" (a bottle of sake for a special occasion) received as a souvenir from Niigata.
It is named after the head brewer of the Shirotaki Sake Brewery in Kouzenjosui.
The color is clear and colorless.
The aroma is full of fruity melon!
The taste is a concentrated sweetness of rice,
The taste is sweet, but not cloying at all,
The taste is sweet and sweet, but not cloying at all.
It was an authentic sake that hit you right in the throat 😊.
The rice polishing ratio is 35%....
I am not sure if this is why it has this aroma and sweetness 🤲.
.
Niigata Sake Part 2!
Yuki no Mayu I wanted to drink.
This was the first time for me to go back to Niigata by myself!
I met up with my husband and kids the next day and we went to my parents' house together.
I stayed at a hotel directly connected to the station that day, so I didn't feel like I was stretching my wings too much 🤣.
I really appreciate my husband🙏.
(Although, I got a taste of it, so I hope I can do so again next time)
I was able to buy it at the downstairs Ponshukan and taste it in the comfort of my room.
The aroma is elegant and understated pear.
Thin white like snow, fruity and sweet.
When you drink it, you can feel the gaseous sensation that passes through your nose.
Well, you may get an image of it melting like a cocoon.
It was my favorite taste 😊.
Hi there, Pinocchio 😃.
Your kind husband! I'm sure he knows how hard you work 🤗I have a feeling this will be your regular course 🤭The taste will be different when you drink it leisurely 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Thank you so much for your hard work, tears.
I am so grateful for my first trip alone in about 10 years 😊 I could taste more depth in my drinks 🍶.
Back home to Niigata in GW
With 3 friends from junior high and high school at Ika no Sumi Ekiminami Keyakidori 😊.
We had a hard time deciding which sake to order, but we decided to go with Takachiyo!
How did it taste?
Yes, it was sweet and delicious!
It tastes like grapes or grape grapes, juicy, with a slightly bitter and sour taste!
Accompanied by Niigata's specialty, Tochio fried bean curd!
We chose natto (fermented soybeans), which is a major snack here 👌.
Previous Continued
"Tenbi in early summer is ready."
I went back two days later and to my surprise, there was a whole other kind called Hotaru-ten 😊.
Sake is a great way to enjoy the flavors and aromas of the different seasons, and once again, it's amazing!
And lucky for us, we were just about to run out of bottles,
The waitress made a nice suggestion 💓 that since we were just about to run out of bottles, we would split the bottles by opening the bottom and the top of the bottle.
I was so thankful to have it!
First, the opening!
Fresh and gassy, with a pleasant tingling sensation in the mouth!
The fruity aroma carries through to the nose while drinking!
This is certainly perfect for early summer!
Next, the bottom of the bottle
Totally different! It's almost like it's something else.
The gassiness has calmed down and the sweetness and bittersweet flavor are concentrated!
Both are delicious!
This drinking comparison is addicting 😊.
Good morning, Pinocchio!
Amami's blue label is lovely ✨.
And it's certainly addicting to be able to enjoy the taste changes over the days at a time by comparing the bottom and mouth opening drinks 😋.
What a cool idea by the store owner 🎵.
Sake is wonderful!
Good morning, ma-ki-! I met Tenmi for the first time again💓.
It's my first time to compare the bottom of the bottle and mouth opening drink and this is the way to enjoy it. I was able to have it at the right time😊🙏.
Hello, Pinocchio 😃.
Hotaru Ten! I've never seen it before ‼️ is it a new release 🤔
It's really good timing to drink and enjoy the double 🤗 for your reference too!
Hi Jay & Nobby! Timing is important when it comes to encountering sake too😊I'm looking forward to seeing when we'll see you next at the opening of the mouth and the bottom of the bottle🎵.
I realized in front of the store...
Oh, I forgot my phone!
I can't take a picture, and ordering is by QR code.
I couldn't go back home, so I told the waitress that I forgot my phone and she lent me the store's tablet 👌.
I ordered a Junmai Daiginjo from Amami.
It's still delicious, right on the money!
The sweetness and a little sourness spread on the palate along with a gassy feeling!
It's a stable taste!
I wish I could drink different kinds of Amami!
I was allowed to take this picture two days later, just as I was on my way back to my hometown 🙏.
And then I was sucked into the tasting room...
Hello, Pinoko-san!
Amami's Akaban Oumachi is delicious 😋.
My first Amami was from here, and I remember the gasiness and the gradation of flavors were very good 🤤.
I'd like to try different Amami's 😊.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-! I am looking forward to drinking the other types of wine! The timing and strength of the gaseous sensation is also pleasant 😊I look forward to drinking the other types!
This one is not on the menu.
The waiter can open it for you, and you can cut the mouth 👌.
Different from the sparkling Hououmida I had the other day, fruity but robust.
The other two guys added more shochu rocks...
Since I took the proper chaser and anti-drunkenness measures, I had less hangover the next day than usual!
My head was a little itchy...
Good evening, Pinocchio 😃.
Nice waitress👍 and mouthful Mida! It's delicious 😋 and the peace water is important to have fun and stay with alcohol for a long time 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby ✨The same brand tastes completely different and never ceases to amaze me! The presence of good measures is totally different the next day too. lol!
This is drink number five.
Hakusen!
A little sweet and gassy with a touch of sweetness, this is delicious~!
My favorite!
The three of us were drinking one cup of sake, but it was so delicious that we ordered a glass of Hachisen for our last drink 😊.
Today's drinking session is work-related, and since my house is a neighbor about 2 stops away, I'm invited to join them 🙏.
They are strong drinkers, so I get trained every time.
Today, I took the precaution of getting drunk well in advance, drinking almond milk and snacking on other things to prevent a sukkake and protect my stomach! (Does it work?)
The second cup was Kangiku.
It tastes lovely and light, just like the label.
The fresh sweetness lingers in the mouth.
It was the perfect sake for this time of year when the cold has eased and it feels a little hotter.
Good morning, Pinocchio!
It was good to drink outside 🎵.
How to prevent drunkenness! I didn't know there was such a way: ✍️
Kukai, I got my first one this year and I'm looking forward to experiencing fresh sweetness 😋.
Thanks for your comment, ma-ki-! I tried to protect my stomach with dairy products and avoid an empty stomach 🍶 That's probably why my stomach is not upset! Enjoy your Kukai 😊.
Order from the top of the sake menu
It was a good decision to order first!
It's so refreshing and easy to drink!
The name of this sake has a certain charm to it!
I bought this for home use at a liquor store.
When I told the store manager about a brand I had recently drank, he recommended it to me. He said it has a gaseous taste with a complex flavor. I am looking forward to it!
Fresh aroma of pear.
I want to use it as an aroma.
When you drink it, you can taste sweetness and a firm hollowness bitterness.
Delicious!
You were right to buy the recommendation🌸
It has a subtle braille on the label, which is also beautiful in design👌.
First time at Sentori😊
(I'm a beginner, so basically almost my first...)
I bought it at Hasegawa Sake Shop the other day. I kept it chilled in the fridge and opened the bottle!
It suddenly started bubbling and I moved to the kitchen in a hurry, even though I should have opened it sooner.
I could have opened it sooner, but I hurriedly moved to the kitchen.
Despite the baptism, I regain my composure and have it 🌸.
It smells like bananas and has a gorgeous flavor with a slight carbonation in the mouth when you drink it.
The snack is a can of adult snacks I bought at an outlet the other day🥰.
Hi there, Pinocchio 😃.
Congratulations on your first Sentori ㊗️ 🎉It's fun to meet new sakes 🤗
Please be careful opening the bottle of Sanshiki Spark ⚠️ 😅 Please also try our guess Sentori Retro 👋!
Banjo Kotobuki.
Sake for Fukushima's recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
It is a little early, but we had it.
It goes well with food as a food sake that fits the name "Kurashi-shu" of a man of the sea.
We had it with grilled scallops with butter and soy sauce.
Although my stomach was still a little queasy from last weekend, it was my first time to go out for a drink alone since I was paid for it.
The bar is inside the station, so seating is limited to 30 minutes.
From the menu, I was torn between Saku and Mitsuo Yamakawa's sake of the day, but decided on Houou Mita, attracted by its spring-like character!
Before drinking, a sweet, pear-like aroma fluttered into my nose, and I couldn't help but smile 🤲.
The moment you drink it, you feel a swoosh, and the swoosh flows straight down your throat. The sweetness spreads in your mouth. I would definitely recommend this drink to my girlfriends. I served it with sakekasu cream cheese. I think it had a little bit of a sweet x sweet bearing...
I am a weak drinker, so I left after only one drink... 🌸
Thank you Jay & Nobby, it was nice to drink outside by myself and enjoy the lingering taste of Houou Mita ✨I was also able to buy some sake for drinking at home 😊😊.
