Shinsei Colors Tangerine
I had seen Tangerine from the outside the day before, so I went in to make sure it was there again this day! (I have bad eyesight, so I was ← a suspicious person staring at the outside with these eyes)
I was a little bit sweeter than the last time I was there, when I was impressed by the citrus 🍊! I think it's a little less sweet and a little less sour than the 🍊 that I had the last time I went there. It tastes like it's Colors.
The manager said that the tangerine tastes differently from bottle to bottle.
But since it's tangerine, I had two glasses: ☺️

It was brought to the table in a glass only, so I didn't know what brand it was because there was no bottle... Marufei...?
Anyway, the stable taste of Tobirazumi, I like it! I love it!
The second glass was the same one 😆.

Shinsei Colors Earth Earth
Like a white wine! It has acidity, of course, but it's also crisp and has a bit of bitterness at the end, so it's really a white wine!
The next day, and the day after that, it may have mellowed a bit. ☺️

Ichinozo Special Junmai Sake Dry
I was looking forward to the "Sake Go Around" again this year!
I had already planned to take the afternoon off with my wife and I and entered the event! (7/7)
This is the third of three restaurants we visited!
Koetsuan & Ichinokura (Miyagi)
I was already over my limit of 2 gou, but I really wanted to try a restaurant I had never been to in Monnaka because it was participating in the go-around this year...pushing through😇🏴☠️
I usually avoid Ichinokura because of its dryness (but I love "Himezen"), but it has a delicious flavor and doesn't feel too spicy!
It was great to hear detailed stories from the brewery staff!
Sake is interesting after all 🥹.
This year's sake go-around was too much fun!

Hi Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your comment 😊.
We hope you will join us next year! 🎉
It's a very exciting and fun event that we love because we get to meet the store owners & brewery staff & sake-loving customers. ☺️
I'm a little sad that it's only on October 1st every year... I've been looking forward to buying a batch in advance, but what if something happens on the day of the event and I can't attend? I'm so nervous 💦.
I wish you could make it a "week" of 10/1 that includes Saturday and Sunday, or if that's not possible, at least make it a 3-day event 🥴.

We had planned to take the afternoon off with our spouses and entered the event! (6/7)
This is the second of the three restaurants we visited.
🍶Ponju Building & Hiraizumi (Akita)
The sake was a lethal one... After consulting with the brewer and choosing the best one, we decided to go for the rare "6BY sake" 😇.
The taste is elegant with mild acidity and sweetness!
The reason why I visited only a few breweries this year is because the Ponshu building is owned by Hiraizumi! I've been looking forward to this for a while 😍.
I want to drink more than just sake! But my lethal dose is limited to 2 gou...so this year's go-around is not a go-around and my sake limit will be consumed here 🫣.

Of course the brewery staff, but we also had the pleasure of meeting some of the guests, such as the brother of the brewer who worked at Tobirazumi for a month, and the proprietress of Furea, the restaurant next door where we had visited earlier, who came to have a "go-around" for a cup of sake. ☺️

Gekkeikan Studio no.3.1
The 4th drink at "Young Dawn 2025
We went to the booth of Gekkeikan's experimental brewing laboratory, which was delicious last year.
This year, too, the brewery staff were wearing white coats, and I knew "research" was good. ☺️
No.3.1 was "Fruity sensation depending on the temperature." Raspberry for cold sake / pineapple for room temperature / orange peel for warmed sake, which was interesting!
Of course I prefer cold sake...raspberry taste is delicious!
I really wanted to try no.2.1, but I didn't have enough tickets and time, so I gave up... 🥲.

The second brew of the "Wakate no Yoake 2025" was also from Tobirazumi!
This one was brewed with yeast No. 7 instead of No. 77.
This one is made with No. 7 yeast, not No. 77, and has a refined taste, not the usual sourness. It is also delicious in its own way.
