Termat
The 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.

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.

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 ⛷️

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 😌.

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😊.

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 ☃.

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 ✨
Japanese>English
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

The sweetness and the strong gassiness were unbearable 😁.

Hakuryu純米吟醸 KEYKEG
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!

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 ☺️
Japanese>English
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 😋.
Japanese>English

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 😊.

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👍🎉!

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!

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 🤔.
Japanese>English
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? 🤣
Japanese>English
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.
Japanese>English

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!

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 🤔

BBQ at my parents' house, quickly emptied a small amount of low-alcohol "Akanesasu" and went on to the next drink 🍶.
We had bought 14 bottles of sake (one of them was "Akanesasu") on our trip to Shinshu, which was 10 bottles more than we had planned, so we decided to drink the sake we had in stock and opened this one ✨.
Abe Junmai Nama Sake.
The aroma of tranquil and plump rice flavor, the slight carbonation you feel on the tip of your tongue, the shift to a sizzling umami and sweetness, the sharp finish, and the deep lingering aftertaste that makes you feel a little bit sad.
The luxury of drinking nama-zake outside, with a slightly cooler night breeze and the faint chirping of crickets, is an extremely pleasant and intoxicating experience.
Even my father, who said it was a bit sweet, seemed to like it as he drank it with ease.
The kids made s'mores with marshmallows on skewers and enjoyed the BBQ to the fullest!
My dad used to prepare the BBQ by himself, but since his back surgery, he's been doing it on his own.
I think it's proof that he's still in good health that he doesn't give up the fire 🤔.
By the way, the brands I bought on my trip to Shinshu are
Shinshu Kamerei
Honkin
Kuromatsu Senjo
Shinanotsuru
Yamazan
Akanezasu
Secret
I will be reviewing them along with the stock originally left in the cellar ✨.

Hi Aladdin!
I'm on my parents' property, so the fridge is close by and it's easy to replenish the coolant, so I opened a bottle of raw sake 😁.
It was one of those rare bottles that you have to buy, so I'll open it when I get the chance ✨.

Hi Manachie, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.

Hi Jay & Nobby!
The BBQ was more beer than sake, but it was a blissful time to learn from Mr. Noodle Sake King and match ✨.
I had 13 four-packs myself, so it was the small bottles of "Akane Sasu" that made the difference between winning and losing 🤣.

The 8 "Abe" bottles that at one point filled the cellar have 3 bottles left 😁 leaving 2 standard bottles to be opened tonight 🍶.
Abe THE ARANAMI
It is sold in early spring, and the brewery's idea is to let people taste the state of the rice of the year, so the year the rice melts is "SAZANAMI", while the year it does not melt well is "ARANAMI".
The moment I opened the package and removed the outer packaging, I was surprised to see a powerful "pop! The lid shot out with great force! I thought "Oh no!" but it didn't blow out and I was relieved💦.
[Gulping down the sake]
The aroma of rice is full and lactic acidic, the mouthfeel is slightly sweet, and the acidity is very sharp, and after it finishes, there is a sweet rice aroma and a deep aftertaste on the nose.
Trip time: 11 seconds
[Glass]
A clean rice aroma, a slight carbonation felt on the tip of the tongue, a clean sweet umami, a sharp acidity, and a lingering sweet citrus-like aroma after it finishes.
This is also an 11-second trip time!
Double tataki of Spanish mackerel and bonito for the entrée, and add garlic chips for a punchy flavor with the sweet and savory taste that is typical of "Abe".
Finally watched [Yonjohan Taiman Machine Blues], which I wanted to watch while drinking, and the key to the story [Gozan no Okuribi] is already next week ✨.

Hi Gyve-san, good evening.
8 bottles of Abe-san alone would take up a cellar 😁.

Hi Jive, good evening 🦉.
I can only envy you so much Abe 😻 Like J&N, I've never heard that the name changes depending on how it melts 😳.
I love Spanish mackerel, but I've never had tataki, I'd like to taste it!

Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
I was surprised by the sweet and tasty sake, which is hard to believe that it was made in a year when the rice did not melt 😁.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I feel powerful when the cellar is full, but with each decrease I feel a sense of frustration, not to say a sense of crisis 🤣.

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I bought some "Abe", which is a new local product, so I took the chance to buy it while it is still unknown to the people of the prefecture 😁.
Spanish mackerel is often caught on the Echizen coast, so this is the fishmonger's homemade tataki!

With the new moon on August 4, let's open a small bottle of star sake for star gazing and also to organize the cellar for our trip to Shinshu next week 🍶🌟.
Abe Star Series FOMALHAUT Imperial Sake UNITED ARROWS
I found out after I bought it that there are 3 versions: Nama-shu, Nama-kumi, and Hi-ire ✨.
［This is the hi-ire version.]
The aroma of rice and banana with a hint of sweetness, the rich sweetness of the mouthfeel, the sweet aftertaste through the nose, and the slight bitterness at the end.
［Mokkiri]
Aroma of ripe banana, rich and juicy sweetness on the palate, and a sweet aftertaste on the nose.
It is said that the base "FOMALHAUT", which is made by using kijo sake instead of brewing water, has been aged for a longer period of time,
As the label on the back says, the overwhelming sweetness comes to the forefront, and it has a characteristic sweet aftertaste that almost makes you feel as if you are going to be consumed.
Compared to the base, the sharp acidity is gone, and the sweet flavor is enhanced.
I paired it with a meal, but as the label on the back says, it would be great with a savory cheese after a meal 🤔.
