DenshuNEW YEARボトル 2025 純米吟醸 生酒 ジャイヴ［The annual New Year's party with sukiyaki at Kicchin Usagi.
We opened a bottle of "Shinshu Kamerei Yumemizuho" and opened another bottle of "Shinshu Kamerei Yumemizuho", which is perfect for this time of the year.
Tasake NEW YEAR Bottle 2025 Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu.
Sweet aroma like muscat with high sugar content, a slight gasiness on the palate, a firm sweetness and umami, a long finish, and a gentle lingering aftertaste.
Trip time: 13 seconds
When I asked my friends to drink this one, they all praised it.
We talked about how cool the label was, but what about the pun on the back label that says, "Tasty tazake is heavyweight"? We had a lot of fun with the drunkenness 🤣.
I like this snake illustration because it's cute 🥰.
There is no end to the conversation about where to go with these members this year!
The fourth picture shows that we finished the sukiyaki, so we added the proprietress's recommendation of tempura albacore, which is in season this time of year 💡.
Let's go to KICCHIN-Usagi consistently this year ✨! ma-ki-Hi, Gyve-san.
Sukiyaki New Year party is good. ⤴️
And I'm jealous of the albacore tempura🎵!
A Newyear bottle of Tasake from Kame-san is the best for such a party ✨.
Delicious sake made for a fun party 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Jive 😃.
This is a perfect one for the New Year party👍I feel the heavy🐍 class is acceptable for the Showa generation😁.
We are going to have sukiyaki this weekend too 🤗 shinsaku3Good evening, Gyve 😃.
I like the rice wine from Kamerei 👍.
Both are our favorite sake 🍶😍
Heavyweight 🐍🤣
I like this illustration too👍 ジャイヴGood morning, ma-ki-san!
The owner, who is not good at sukiyaki, makes an exquisite sukiyaki inspired by [Wadakin] in Mie, which is a luxury once a year 🤣.
Tempura [shirako] in season is also intoxicating, but [matsumae yaki] grilled on kombu [kelp] is also the best! ジャイヴGood morning Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀!
I went and got another bottle of "Shinshu Kamerei" as a decision 😁.
Oh! I see ✨
Enjoy your Sukiyaki O sake 🤣. ジャイヴGood morning, shinsaku3!
I feel the biggest mystery🤔 is how a heavyweight snake has a boar cup, but I want to celebrate the new year with drunken drinks and good food 😁. ジャイヴJanuary 6 was the first day of work for some of us, but since we couldn't coordinate our schedules, we held our annual "New Year's party with sukiyaki" on that day.
The place was the usual favorite, Kicchin Usagi 😁.
After saying hello to the proprietress of Usagi and wishing her a happy new year, we started with beer and appetizers to quench our thirst, and then moved on to sake 🍶.
We brought in two bottles of sake and the first one we opened was this one ✨.
Shinshu Kamerei Yumemizuho.
Please refer to the previous review 🙇.
The reason why we chose this one this time is because the proprietress is from Suzu city in Noto, Ishikawa prefecture, and the place where she was born and raised was damaged by the earthquake last year, so we chose this one with a wish for the reconstruction!
She has been to Suzu several times and was worried about the current situation that is not progressing as well as she would like.
She was also concerned about the current situation, so she decided to do what she could to support the recovery efforts by drinking this wine.
The proprietress also tasted a little and liked it 😋.
I bought 3 bottles of "Yumemizuho" from Okazaki Shuzo in the summer and finished them all 😊.
The fun continues with the excellent "Sukiyaki" 🔜. マナチーGyave me a new year's greeting 🌅.
Sukiyaki and sake is the best 🤤I haven't eaten beef recently, I thought after reading this review 🤣. 麺酒王Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
It has been a year since the disaster, but the reconstruction has not progressed much. I am so saddened by the thoughts of the landlady. I wish for a speedy recovery as well 😌. ポンちゃんGood morning, Jive 🐥.
I love that you took it with you to your feelings, and I see you bought 3 bottles of this alcohol 😳 Great!
I like the idea of having a meeting every year to decide on this restaurant and this food 😊. ジャイヴGood morning, Mr. Manachy ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I hardly ever get beef at my own house, so I get excited when I eat out 🤣. ジャイヴGood morning, Mr. Noodle Drink King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It seems that the temporary highway was finally connected at the end of last year, but it's still hard to get to 💦.
Especially, there are many places where the uplifted land has created height differences, and it seems that there is no way to see the future for full recovery. ジャイヴGood morning, Pon-chan!
［When we went to Okazaki Sake Brewery, we picked up all the sake that everyone else didn't buy 🤣.
One of the members of the group has requested sukiyaki, so we ask her to bring her own sake to Usagi every year! ジャイヴ［New Year's sukiyaki party at Kicchin Usagi.
Toyobai Junmai Daiginjo.
The aroma was full and slightly apple-like, the mouthfeel was ripe apple sweetness and bitterness, and immediately after drinking it, there was a calm and pleasant aftertaste, and the apple-like sweetness flowed smoothly through the body like nectar.
As the temperature rises, the mellow apple sweetness and umami taste increases.
Last year, I was curious about "Toyobai" when I saw Mr. Menshuoh drinking it.
Then I drank it at the store and loved it so much that I was wondering if it was going to be my bottle of the previous year 😆.
Now I have a cousin who works in Hirosaki city and he sends it to me via my uncle 😁.
I would like to add something that I didn't write last time.
［The proprietress of Kicchin Usagi arranges dishes she can't eat so that she can eat them. She says she is not good at sukiyaki, but the only sukiyaki she can eat is at a famous restaurant in Mie called Wadakane, so she makes it based on that.
You can enjoy her original arrangements of many exquisite dishes in the restaurant.
By the way, the sake we brought this time was purchased at Nishimura Sake Shop and Meishukan Takimoto in Kyoto 😊. マナチーHappy New Year, Jive 🌅You're drinking a nice bottle of Toyobai 😆 Toyobai is one of my favorite Aomori sake 👍 that has a great apple flavor in its aroma ☺️ ジャイヴHappy New Year, Manachie 🎍.
I'm fascinated by the appleiness of "Toyobai" and love it 😋.
I'm curious to try other Aomori sake as well 😁. ジェイ&ノビィGyve, I'm with you 😃.
Oooh! Looks awesome Toyobai-san ‼️ I've never seen this label before but it has a New Year feel to it 🤩.
And the food arrangement looks like it would be great to drink 😍I love this kind of thing 😋. chikaI'm drinking the good stuff 😆🍶✨
I've never seen this label 😆✨✨✨
I'm going to go look for it 😆✨✨✨ ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
When I saw this bottle at the liquor store I thought it was perfect for New Year's 😁.
The price was quite a New Year's price, but I bought it as a start to the year 🤣. ジャイヴGood evening, chika🌛.
It was pricey but I was able to use my d-points at the store so I bought it with the points I had accumulated 😁.
Please try it 🤣 ジャイヴFor various reasons, his wife was unable to return home for the New Year's holiday, so she took the kids to her parents-in-law's house 🚙.
Since I hadn't had any free time for a while, we decided to have our annual New Year's sukiyaki party with the members from elementary school 🍲.
We went to Kicchin Usagi, which is run by a proprietress in her 70s, who I have introduced to you before 🐰.
While quenching our thirst with excellent appetizers and beer, we brought in two bottles that we had planned to open in time for the New Year.
Koeikiku Snow Crescent Yamadanishiki 2023.
Fresh and lightly citrusy aroma, a carbonation sensation on the palate, a fresh, clear and juicy flavor, citrusy and clean sweetness, a crisp and refreshing rice aroma and lingering aftertaste.
Compared to the one I drank last July, which was aged for half a year, the sweetness is weaker, but the freshness and refreshing citrusy pleasant acidity are wonderful!
Compared to the "Sagabiyori" that I drank a while ago, this one is fresher and of course has a stronger grapefruit flavor 🤔.
［The proprietress of Usagi used to live near the disaster-stricken area of Suzu, and we were glad to hear that she was able to get in touch with some of her acquaintances and that no one was hurt in the disaster!
There was a donation box at the restaurant, so we did what we could to help. ワカ太Hi Gyve 😃Your New Year Sukiyaki party sounds like a lot of fun 😆I'm sure the landlady must have felt Gyve's great care and kindness, it was not a small effort at all ‼️ 麺酒王Hi Jive 😃.
The meat at the New Year Sukiyaki party looks delicious 🤤So delicious gravy flowing with snocre❗This is a luxurious moment 😊The review shows the kindness of the landlady, Jaivusun 😌. ジャイヴHello, Mr. Wakata!
The only one of the members who is not a drinker, so we fixed it as sukiyaki 😁The sukiyaki made by the proprietress is a great dish based on the famous "Wadakane" in Mie 😋.
Supporting the disaster-stricken area from what we can do ジャイヴHello, Mr. Menshuoh ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The meat consisted of sashimi and lean meat, and the sashimi was local Wakasa beef that boasts the same A5 rank as Matsusaka beef 😋.
I've been busy since the end of the year, so I splurged on this to thank you for your hard work 😁. ジェイ&ノビィHi Gyve 😃
I'm so happy to see you here again 🤗we had a birthday party last year and you are really a good friend and drinker 😊Sukiyaki and Snoqualmie go great together 😍Nice that the hostess helped with the fundraising 😌. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
We have been having sukiyaki every year, so we are running out of restaurant options.
There was a time when we were apart, but now we are a rare group of friends who can drink comfortably! 
ジャイヴ［Drinking with friends 🍴 at the Kitchin Rabbit
The third bottle I opened was a bottle of this summer's sake, which I hadn't drunk yet because I had heard it had a good reputation.
Hakugakusen Junmai Ginjo Umimatsu, also from my hometown in Fukui.
Fresh rice aroma, sweetness with a predominant umami taste at the mouth, and a sharp, sweet finish with a touch of umami and acidity.
The mentaiko (cod roe) and nori (dried laver) wrapped around the rice was an excellent match with the salty and spicy flavor.
I was very satisfied with my first visit to Kicchin Usagi in a long time 🐰.
I hope the proprietress will be able to keep the restaurant open for a long time 😊. Rafa papaHi Jive 😃
Local friends and local drinks at your favorite local restaurant... a relaxing moment 😊I envy your summer vacation 😌. ジャイヴGood evening Rafa 🌛.
I used to live near this store and I used to go there almost every week 😁.
I have heard from many people through this store and I feel that I have become the person I am today 😊. 麺酒王Good morning, Gyve 😃.
Drinking local drinks at a local restaurant❗Great time ✨I heard you are also a strong mahjong player 😁. ジャイヴGood morning, Noodle King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀!
This place has helped me grow a lot as a drinker 😁I feel like I can reaffirm it when I come here after visiting other restaurants 😊.
The other day's mahjong was too good, I think I'm going to drop down next time😅. 
ジャイヴ［Drinking with friends 🍴 at the Kitchin Rabbit
The second bottle I opened was a bottle of sake that I look forward to every year at this time of year 🍶.
Hayaseura Special Junmai Sake Yonagatsuki" from my hometown in Fukui!
A full rice aroma, a refreshing umami, and a clean, crisp, fresh, and pleasant aftertaste!
It is what is called "hiyaoroshi," or "hiya-oshi" in Japanese, and with its excellent label design, it is a bottle to drink slowly on a long autumn night.
This time, I enjoyed it with my drinking companions.
The third picture is the excellent appetizer prepared by the proprietress 💡.
It is a blissful time to think about [today's course] while eating this first 😆. アラジンGood evening, Mr. Jaive!
It's a perfect drink to have with good friends 🍶As I mentioned before, Mr. Jaive's snacks always look delicious 🤤A restaurant that serves such appetizers, no matter what you eat, it must be delicious. ☺️ ジャイヴGood morning, Aladdin!
The local specialty is fish, so sashimi, grilled, boiled, and fried are all delicious 😋.
The proprietress is the only one in the restaurant, so when it's busy, you can enjoy the appetizers while you decide what you want to eat. ポンちゃんHi Gyve😊.
Really, the food always looks delicious at home and in the restaurant😍and the warm and welcoming atmosphere must be due to Gyve's personality😊👍✨ ジャイヴHello Pon, ☀☀☀☀.
Even though I usually moderate, when I drink, I try to make it a cheat day and choose what I want to eat😊.
Thinking about it, some of the restaurants I go to regularly have a similar atmosphere 🤔I like those restaurants! 
ジャイヴLate summer vacation from September 8, I went out drinking with my regular drinking buddies and brought my own drinks😊.
We went to a local hidden gem, Kicchin Usagi, run by a proprietress in her 70s.
Ni-Hare Junmai Daiginjo Aizan 48
Aroma of mellow rice, mildly sweet taste with a hint of Aiyama's typical sweetness, and a lingering sweetness after the finish, as well as a final sake-like smell.
It goes well with the delicious kombujime (sweet shrimp on kelp) that we ordered for our entrée!
This is a bottle that is too delicious.
Two more bottles to follow from "Ni-Hare" 😁. ma-ki-Good evening, Mr. Jive.
If it is the spoils of your business trip to Aichi 🎵.
I'll be referring to the Ni-Rabbit as it's a sake I'd like to drink very slowly ✨.
Kombujime is delicious😊I love kombujime so much I haven't had it in a while😊. ポンちゃんGood evening, Mr. Jive 🌙
It's finally summer vacation! And you are enjoying it to the fullest 😆👍Ni rabbit love mountain looks delicious ❣️ as a lover of sweet shrimp I have to drink it 😁 ジャイヴHi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀.
I was quite drunk and my sentence is not correct 😅.
Yes, I got it with "Oku" during my business trip to Toyohashi 😆.
All the dishes made by the proprietress here are excellent and highly recommended 😁. ジャイヴHello, Pon-chan!
I was going to get a summer vacation during the offline meeting, but I forgot to apply for it and now it's here 😅.
It was pretty sweet and tasty and my drinking buddy who was drinking with me was also a big fan of it 😊 Shrimp eater was here too 😁. ジェイ&ノビィHi Gyve 😃
I hope you are enjoying your late summer vacation 🌻🤗.
It's amazing that the proprietress is in her 80's and runs the place all by herself! The food looks absolutely delicious 😍. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I've been out playing mahjong and drinking for a while now 😁.
The food prepared by the proprietress is all excellent, and she regularly adds new dishes to the menu, so if possible, I would like to visit this restaurant once a week 😋. ジャイヴNow, back to the timeline, we have a New Year's party every year at the end of the New Year with a group of friends from elementary school, and the menu is basically sukiyaki every year!
This year I was the organizer of the party, so we went to my favorite restaurant, "Kicchin Usagi" and had sukiyaki while enjoying a glass of sake.
I was allowed to bring in a new sake version of "Megane Dedicated" that I drank before, leaving it for New Year's!
At that time, I had been diagnosed with sinusitis, so my sense of taste and smell was not so good, but I still felt the freshness of the sake, and it went down my throat smoothly.
However, I couldn't taste the fine flavors. It was disappointing.
I will try again this year. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
