3 days and 2 nights in Kamikochi.
I still remember going there for the first time when I was in elementary school and was so impressed with the scenery 😭
Enjoyed it even more as an adult,
Local sake drinking at a ryokan: ♨️
First, Masumi!
When you drink it, you can taste the sweetness of the rice,
After that, the sourness spreads slowly in the mouth.
You can feel the lactic acid bacteria.
Delicious and easy to drink 👌

A gem that had been sitting in the fridge for a while😊.
We had it for 3 consecutive holidays!
The aroma is fluffy, fresh and refreshing banana!
The taste is juicy and juicy, like a pineapple.
Along with the sweetness, bitterness and gassiness come quickly.
The lingering sweet and bitter aftertaste is just right without being too much.
Delicious 😆!
It's a different genre of sake 😭
Accompanied by home made takoyaki 👌
Good evening Jay & Nobby ✨This was the first time I drank it and was surprised how delicious it was😍I'm happy to eat as much as I want when I make tacos at home 😆!
.
The second glass was a shichibonsyari from the umami column.
This one is sweeter, deeper and a bit gassier than the previous one.
This one is also easy to drink and delicious 😊.

Since the kids are away at camp,
Drinking with hubby with great joy 😆.
Chose Dawn Front from the Dry Taste!
The best sake rice Yamadanishiki special rice is used!
It's refreshing and has a nice sharp taste 😊.
What a surprise, this Kinuka is said to be 3 times more effective in moisturizing the skin than ordinary sake!
I was astonished when I saw it on the pre-dawn website...
I'll have to buy some next time for drinking at home😱.
Hi Jay & Nobby😊It looks like this year will be the last time we'll be camping with both of our kids together 😭.
But we are glad to have met you Kinuka ❗️

Light and botanical label.
The waitress told me it was designed to be a women's food wine!
Select the mineral version😊.
Sweet and juicy, slightly carbonated.
It feels quite sweet, so it would be better suited as an after-dinner drink!
30 fried spring rolls for snacks (main dish)👌
.
Goal (desire) for this year, go to hot springs once a month: ♨️
This area has black hot springs and they have a nice thermal effect!
The restaurant has a sake bar where you can choose from 7 brands of sake and compare 3 different kinds, which was a nice first choice.

All are delicious!
The flavors are changing from light to heavy in order from left to right.
Each of them has different sweetness of lychee, banana and muscat.
Sake sinks into your body...,
Good circulation makes you drunk...
Hi there, Pinocchio 😃.
Monthly Onsen ♨️ is a wonderful desire 😊.
Soaking in a hot spring soak and sweating 💦 afterwards sake seems to soak in 🍶😌.
Yes, I'm sure you'll get drunk 🤤.

Took the day off today and went to the school in the morning to pick up my child's potted eggplant plant,
(Parents must take them home...)
Then, I ended up sneaking home to work...
I decided I had to drink sake, since I was going to be there,
So, I decided to go to a nearby restaurant where I could drink sake...
I went to a restaurant in the neighborhood and had a glass of Hachikaizan Uonuma, which is apparently only available at restaurants!
The aroma is a mixture of red grape sweetness and sourness.
The taste is easy to drink, with a good balance of sweetness and bitterness 😊.
I'm missing Niigata a little bit, as I'm always looking for Niigata brands!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Last month, my husband bought a bottle of Houou Mita at Hasegawa Sake Shop while he stopped by Tokyo Station 😊.
Thank you very much!
It has a juicy, sharp and gassy taste!
As expected, delicious!
After about 2 weeks, the sweetness and flavor are concentrated, and it tastes mellow, easy to drink, and different again!
Recently, I have a habit of getting drunk and falling asleep for an hour 💤.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ❗️ Hasegawa Sake Shop at Tokyo Station is just the right place to buy and drink 😍.
I can't beat the sleepiness when I'm drunk 😓I guess I need to train 💦.
I'm going to have a lunch meeting with my classmates.
Usual lunch meeting with classmates.
This restaurant has a nice selection of sake 🤲.
We will have it during the day!
Asked for a refreshing summer brand, I decided to go with Koei Kiku 😊.
The aroma is fruity and soothing...
The taste is fruity and soothing 🌸.
Delicious, it was my favorite taste!
Sake in summer is nice and cool in the sun!
Purchased at a nearby Kakuyas that I casually entered.
Small size to fit in my bag on my way home from work👌.
One of my co-workers from Gunma recommended Akagisan and Mizubasho as sake brands, which I had been wanting to try!
The taste has a fresh aroma, sweetness, and a smooth finish. I've been drinking a lot of gassy sake at home lately, but this was a legitimate sake that goes well with food 😊🍶.

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 👌.
