Timeline
ジャイヴI left home a little early for a company drinking party today and plunged into real-time drinking activities 🥰.
In the morning, I worked up a sweat at the gym while doing household chores, and then went to Fukui Station near the venue early enough to stop for lunch to replenish my protein.
I went to Matsumoto Shoten, a yakiniku restaurant in the Fukui Yatai Mura (Fukui Stall Village) that opened in conjunction with the opening of the Shinkansen (bullet train).
After quenching my thirst with Akahoshi, I found a bottle at Mizumoto in Fukui Station on my way to Shima that I couldn't miss, so I stopped by 🤣.
Kuroryu Hiiraju.
The aroma is sweet and mellow like melon even from a distance due to the large mouth of the glass, and the bitter taste behind the clear umami and sweetness on the palate quickly fades to a sweet aroma on the nose and a firm bitter finish.
I have not had this sake in 20 years 🤔.
The 4th picture is a little yakiniku (grilled meat) at Matsumoto Shoten. マナチーGyve, izakayas that serve bottled Akaboshi beer are basically good ‼️ I mean, this place is good too 😆 like ❤️ ぺっほMr. Jive 💕Pre-drinking routine? I'm too manly 👏I'm sure it will double the taste of both the pre-drinking activity and the drinks at the party! I've never had Koryu, so I'd like to try the raw sake 😋Fruity sweet 🍈Aroma and bitter finish, sounds delicious ‼️ ma-ki-Hi Jive, thanks for your help.
So you're at a company drinking party today: ⤴️
I hope you have a great time 🎵
I love Koryu, but I haven't tried Hiiraju yet 😁✨✨ I'm going to tweet the owner of my favorite place 😁✨✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Jive 😃!
After doing housework🧺gym💪 in the AM, then the 0th meeting! Great set up 🤗 I'm surprised it's been 20 years 😳I have a feeling it was a fun day 😊. ジャイヴHello, Mr. Manachie!
I'm so thankful that more and more stores in my hometown are selling "Akahoshi" these days 🥰🍺.
[The "Matsumoto Shoten" had it chilled to a crisp, so it tasted exceptionally good on a hot day 😋. ジャイヴHi, Pheho ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I tend to swell up easily, so daily exercise is a must for me 🏃.
I'm very happy to hear that you are enjoying the sake so much 😅. ジャイヴHi ma-ki-!
This is just the season for releases, so let's whisper to the general 🤣.
They used to be available in the souvenir shop in [Tojinbo] to change the price at a fixed price, but I haven't seen any recently! ジャイヴHi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
I'm a big fan of the "Kuroryu" sake, which is a high-specification sake that is rarely seen in the prefecture.
I'm sorry to hear that the high spec of "Kuroryu" sake is not seen very often even in the prefecture, I have to put up with "Hiyoroshi". たけしFull-bodied and delicious. TermatThe expensive one of Ippongi! I've never drunk anything higher than Jungin before because I've always had a bit of a problem with Ichihongi.
The aroma is quite gorgeous and sweet! The sharpness is still there, but I'm surprised that this kind of sake is also available.
It is delicious, with no cloying taste, and the Fukuro-hozuri (hanging in a pouch) technique really comes to life!
The fact that the brewery's highest-grade sake is Sakahomare instead of Yamadanishiki is also a good sign of the consistency of the philosophy. ジャイヴTen days have passed since the beginning of December, and there are only three weeks left in this year. 😮💨
Now, looking around the cellar, there are some sakes that I have been waiting for the right moment to drink, but I realized that I have put them away for a long time, so I decided to drink them while they are still available.
Abe Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake
I bought it in early spring and it has been sitting in the cellar for a long time, but it was originally bottled last October, so it has been sitting there for a whole year 🤣.
[Gugumi-nomi.]
Aroma of sweet and mellow rice, strong gassy feeling at the mouth, strong sweetness of rice, deep, long and pleasant aftertaste, and sweet aroma that escapes through the nose at the end.
Trip time: 40 seconds
[Mokkiri]
Cool and sweet rice aroma, strong gassy sensation on the tongue, followed by a long and pleasant aftertaste with a strong sweetness, and a sweet aroma lingering at the end.
Trip time: 26 seconds
The entrée was locally caught sashimi of round horse mackerel and sashizaki-zakari (sashimi).
The 4th picture is the top of the local mountain [Mt. Hino] has turned white or 🏔️ the lower part of the mountain still has autumn leaves!
[Hinoyama is also known as Echizen Fuji in the Echizen City area of Fukui Prefecture, where Murasaki Shikibu lived away from Kyoto for the only time in her life. ma-ki-Hi, Gyve-san.
It's been a while since I've had an abe-san: ⤴️
I'm delusional that this sake has a strong rice flavor sweetness 🤤.
It's beautiful when the top is white ✨.
When I think of mountains in Fukui Prefecture, I think of Jam Katsuyama ⛷️ ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Jive 😃.
Here was our first abechan 🩶.
Looking back to 2 years ago, it was sweet and sour dry 🤔It will be interesting to drink it again to see how I feel about it now 😋The Otokoyama mountain that I can see on my way to work is completely covered with snow 😌. ポンちゃんGood evening, Jive 🦉.
The year will be over in the blink of an eye💦the mountains are covered with snow✨I wonder if I'm ready for New Year's 😅.
I like to drink at abe's house 😻I want to enjoy the afterglow slowly with a gulp of sake😊. ジャイヴHi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Now I've digested all the "abe" I bought in a batch of 7 bottles in early spring 😁.
Do you do winter sports? 🏂️
The Hakusan mountain range where Jam Katsuyama is located is getting much whiter ☃. ジャイヴHi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀.
I think the mild sweetness of the shwashwa came to the forefront, probably due to the fact that the raw sake was laid down for over a year 😁.
I'm currently planning to re-evaluate the sake I drank in the past too ✨ ジャイヴHi Pon, ☀☀☀☀.
It's bad because I haven't made any progress at all in preparing for the end of the year 😅.
I recommend you to take your time to compare the drinks 😁 because the impression of this also changes quite a bit with the sake cups.
It's a shame that the locals haven't realized the charm of "abe" yet ワカ太Good morning, Gyve 😃A year laid abe, looks gassy and delicious 😋💕A year goes by so fast when you think there are only 3 weeks left in this year 😱. ジャイヴGood evening, Mr. Wakata 🌛.
The sweetness and the strong gassiness were unbearable 😁.
I think back on all the different drinks I've had in the past year ✨. ジャイヴThe schedule that was supposed to take all the holidays in the second half of Silver Week, the second peak of the three peaks of the mountain range of work in September, wound up resulting in a day off on Sunday and Monday 😁.
Wife and kids went home to see the festival at my parents-in-law's house, so I had to take a local train to catch up with them 🚃.
I went to Fukui station, so I stopped by Osaketo (fish) and Mizumoto (wine), where I always buy "Abe" (rice wine), for the first time 🚶.
I looked around the store to see what I wanted to drink and found something I liked, so I decided on this one 🍶.
Hakuryu Junmai Ginjo KEYKEG
The first sake brewery in Fukui Prefecture to introduce KEG bottles 😲.
Fruity and sweet rice aroma, fresh and juicy sweetness from the slight carbonation on the tip of the tongue to a full and pleasantly sweet aftertaste, and finally a strong bitterness that lingers in the back of the throat.
Wow! This is quite delicious!
Hakuryu" is a sweet Fukui sake, but it is considered dry in Japan, but I didn't expect it to be so mellow and fruity. ✨️
KEG bottles, I'd love to try some of the other breweries 💡.
Something tells me you've been chosen as this week's check-in, I'm embarrassed to say it's a bad one💦.
The train car I took on the way back from Echizen Railroad was decorated with Pokemon's "Kairu" design! アラジンGood evening, Jive 😃.
It's an intoxicating stopover on your local train ride 🍶.
All KEG drinks are so fresh and delicious 🤤I love them too 😊.
I wish it was more popular and easy to drink, I'm drunk ἤ ☺️ ひるぺこGood evening, Mr. Jive. I was offered two kinds of sake at the Tsuneyama KEG at the Spring New Sake Festival! I like the easy drinking Hakuryu's ricey feel, so I would like to try the fresh taste of KEG 😋. ma-ki-Hi Jive, good evening.
I've never heard of KEG before 😲.
I can only be thankful to know that you are trying different ways to make it better for the drinker ✨
I would love to try some 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Gyve 😃.
I'm glad you were able to wind up your work 🤗Bakuryu has a dry feel to it from the name, but I'd like to try it with a different flavor KEG 😙.
Congrats also on this week's check-in👍🎉! ポンちゃんHi Gyve 🐦.
KEG is delicious, isn't it? I've only had one kind, but I hope this one becomes popular 😆 Maybe one of these days I'll have a "just for the heck of it, I'll have KEG" kind of day! ジャイヴGood evening, Aladdin 🌛.
My parents-in-law's house is just a short walk from the local station, so it comes in handy when chasing after family members who are ahead of you 😁.
There are some restaurants that have introduced this system, but the capital investment is the bottleneck 🤔. ジャイヴGood evening, Mr. Hirupeko 🌛.
By the way, "Tsuneyama" also introduced KEG bottles 😁.
Maybe I should go take a peek at the brewery next time 🤔.
I'm sure you can drink this "Hakuryu KEG" right after you come to Fukui station, so how about it for next year's new sake festival? 🤣 ジャイヴGood evening, ma-ki!
I didn't know about it until this year's holidays, but once you know about it, you'll want to drink it when you find it 😁.
[I'm sure you'll be able to find some stores on the internet that offer it, so please take a look. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay and Nobby 🌛.
I have a lot of work to wind up if I work hard this year, so I'm trying my best to shorten it where it falls on a holiday weekend 😁.
I was surprised when I checked in this week and found my stuff 😲Thank you! ジャイヴGood evening, Pon 🌛.
I really hope more and more stores will introduce KEG✨.
I want to drink the KEG of "Daishinshu" that I missed the other day at the brewery someday 😁.
I wonder if they do KEG tasting events 🤔 ルテルテミGood evening, Jive 😁.
I like the train with the Kylieu specs after being swallowed by Hakuryu Hakuryu the White Dragon. It's evolving well 😆. ジャイヴGood morning, Lutertemi!
I only thought it was a Kylieu spec while riding the train home, but later on it turned out to be a coincidental evolutionary collaboration 😁. @水橋Hakugakusen Special Junmai Cold Wholesale HIYAOROSHI
Today, as always, sake activities, at Fukui Station.
The first meeting before the drinking party.
It was a set of three kinds of sake, but this was my favorite. ジャイヴHi @Mizuhashi, hello here too!
I was wondering if you were in Fukui 😁.
Thank you for tasting my own "Hakugakusen" just as hiyaoroshi started to appear on the market last week ✨. @水橋Good evening, Mr. Gyve 🌆.
I was worried about buying Hakudakeyama Hiyayogoshi, but it was sold out.
I knew it was popular 😆.
The first meeting was at Akiyoshi. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
