The second drink was the retro in the middle.
This one was probably the mildest of the two 🤔.
The acidity was relatively mild and it was easy to drink. 🙆♂️
My favorite among the 3 types including the modern is this retro!
Excuse my comment! I like the Sentori drinking comparison! I didn't know what I was getting myself into, so I just bought the modern one... I haven't drank it yet... but I wanted to compare the drinks anyway!
Thanks for your comment, Honihoni 😊.
I also bought only the modern at first, but the modern was also delicious 🍶.
I think there are still a lot of sake bars that do Edo-style drinking comparisons, so I recommend it 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Tuttu 😃.
I see you got the other two dishes as soon as you could 🤗.
They are all really good in their own way 😋.
We're retro people too if you ask us 👍
Good evening, Honihoni!
All three of them have their own unique sourness of Senkou, but they are surprisingly different 😎.
Please try the Retro as well!
Drinking comparison of Senkori Etoogara at Izakaya in Shinsaibashi!
We drank the Modern the other day, so I'm posting the other two 🍶.
The classic was the most gassy, sour and slightly spicy out of the three. LOL!
It was delicious 🙆♂️
Hi, Mr. Tatsu. I also compared 3 different kinds of drinks at a different restaurant. It was fun to go back in time from modern to retro to classic 💕Drinking with eels is a good idea 😊.
The last sake at Unagidani will be the first sake from the brewery.
It was Sekiya Brewery's Houraisen no Sora.
We chose this sake that we had been curious about since we saw it at Sakegawa.
I will have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, you will be hit with sweetness and bitterness, but the sweetness is very beautiful and delicious.
The sweetness and bitterness shake your brain.
It is just definitely delicious.
As I continue drinking, I think that this sweetness is quite my favorite.
And it is not only sweet, but also has a good balance of bitter and spicy.
I would like to drink it at home someday.
Now, after this, I would like to go to a liquor store to feast my eyes.
Good evening ma-ki-😃.
I was on a one-day business trip yesterday and Osaka was a no-brainer 🥲.
I'd love to visit this fascinating restaurant 🤗.
Amaniga amaniga delicious 😇I'm sure it will be adopted as a sake spell or something 😁I'd like to try Hognaisen no Sora 😍.
Hi ma-ki-, thanks for the lunchtime drinking review 😃Thanks for the NICE choice of sake 😆 All of them are definitely delicious sake 🍶I've never had Yomognaizumi, so if ma-ki- is raving about it, I'd like to try it 😍.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments.
I'm sorry to hear about the Osaka barefoot 💧.
It was my first time at this restaurant and I was so enthusiastic about the drinks that I wanted to go back: ⤴️
Jay & Nobby, please try the sky😊.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review 🎵.
It was my first time to try Sora and it was very tasty, so I hope you will have a chance to try it too 😊.
The second drink at Unagidani-san was Tazake Junmai Ginjo Yamahai by Nishida Shuzo-ten.
Tasake is another sake that you don't come across very often, so we went ahead and had it.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a bitter taste from the beginning to the end.
Then, a fresh and beautiful sweetness takes over and disappears, followed by a gradation of lingering spiciness.
It is also delicious.
After all, the mouthfeel is overwhelmingly beautiful and smooth.
As the temperature rises, the bitterness is suppressed, and the sweetness and spiciness increase, which is also good.
Today I am visiting Unagidani in Shinsaibashi for drinking alone.
I have been wanting to go there once and finally did.
The style is to choose and order from a large refrigerator.
Since I was there, I ordered a Cosmos label from Shinmasa Sake Brewery's COLORS, which I have never had before.
So, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
In the mouth, citrusy grapefruit-like sweetness and astringency~.
It is already too delicious.
It was like a quintessential Niimasa.
The acidity is also present, and the sake is truly refreshing and tasty from start to finish.
It is the best for lunchtime drinking.
Hi ma-ki-, 😃I like the one-person drinking Niimasa ❣️ 👍Is there a big fridge with a lot of different kinds of sake? Sounds like a fun place 😆The cosmos is also excellent 😍It's going to be hard to choose which sake to drink next to the Shinsei 😅.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
The website seems to have about 100 different kinds in the fridge ⤴️
I would like to drink only Shinsei, but I will have several kinds 🎵.
Shinsei's first COLORS were delicious!
Hello na-ki-chan ^_^
I checked out Unagidani-san and they have the best selection in Osaka, you certainly make me want to go there 😊.
Cosmos from noon is the best ✨
Hi ma-ki-😃
You have the best way to spend your day off, alone, out for a lunchtime drink and a new policy 😆.
You don't have to be careful and I'd like to try it sometime.
Thanks for your comment Manta.
Yes, it is true! I wanted to go there at least once, not only because of the variety, but also because they seem to have rare drinks 🎵.
My first visit to Cosmos was great to say the least 😊.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
I'm either alone or with my wife, and while I don't know what to expect at a new restaurant, it's a good time to focus on drinking ✨.
I hope you'll try it too, soumacho! You'll be hooked😊.
Congratulations on your first cosmos, ma-ki-! 🎉It's delicious 😋, light yet tasty and gorgeous ✨️ I'd like to try drinking it alone when I'm a bit more experienced!
Thanks for your comment Nao888.
It was my first Cosmos label and it was a really delicious drink✨.
You don't need experience to drink alone, just jump right in 😁✨✨.
It's easy and fun 😊
Good evening, ma-ki-chan🌛.
I went to Unagidani before the summer and found it to be a drunken izakaya with good sake and food 😁.
I was impressed by the group of foreign tourists next door who were enjoying trying different kinds of sake ✨.
Thank you for your comment, Gyve.
Gyve you also had a lot of drinks at Eel Dasan 😁✨✨.
We went there in the oven, so there were not many customers, so it was a nice place to relax and enjoy 😊.
Store Drinking.
This is "Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
It was my first time to go there, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and I felt safe drinking there 🍶.
I would like to go there again when I go to Osaka 😊.
I'd like to go back when I go to Osaka 😊 I've seen a lot of sake but missed out on red Mimuro cedar 😄.
Sake rice is 100% Watafune-2 (short-stalked Watafune)
The color is clear.
The aroma is melon-like sweetness.
The taste is watermelon🍉 type sweetness. In addition, there is a little umami.
The taste is refreshing.
The ginjo aroma is also very sweet.
The entry was clean, but the aftertaste and lingering aroma made me think it was made by Mimuro cedar 😊.
Store Drinking.
This is "Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
I thought it would be a shame to come to Osaka and not drink Osaka sake....
I looked for a bottle but there is no Osaka sake. Bad timing I guess 😅.
Then I asked for unagi (eel) 😄
The color is clear.
Smell is sweet and sour.
Taste is green apple 🍏, strong sourness.
The taste is slightly carbonated.
The aftertaste is astringent.
The ginjo aroma is strong, with a hint of sourness.
It has a good sharpness.
The brand name has style, but it is well-balanced with a modern atmosphere, making it an easy drinking sake 🍶.

Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
Looking at the bottles in the line, I found a sake 🍶 that I had never seen before😳.
Well, of course we drink it 😆.
The color is clear.
The smell is sweet.
When you sip it, it has a pear-like sweetness.
It is refreshing like water down the throat.
There is a slight ginjo aroma.
The aftertaste is firm and sweet like watermelon.
A well-balanced sake that is light and sweet at the same time.
Hi Hiro 🐦.
I see you were in Kansai, at Abetaya and Unagidani 😳It's nice to be able to look in the fridge here and choose 😁.
I've never seen this sake before either 😳I'm curious about it because I like sweet 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌙
There are so many restaurants in Osaka that I would love to visit and stop by whenever I get a chance 😄.
Unagidani has a great selection of drinks and eels 😊.
Store Drinking.
Since I was in the Kansai area, I went to a restaurant that I knew from Sake-no-wa and was curious about.
It is "Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
The style is to select sake from a line of sake bottles in the refrigerator.
This style is exciting to see the sake bottles standing in a row 😆.
Here is the sake.
The color is clear.
The aroma is not taken.
Taste is thin and sweet. It has a pleasant sweetness of green apple type 🍏.
It has a very slight carbonation through the throat.
The aftertaste is sweet and has a ginjo aroma.
It is a light sake that can be drunk as a summer sake.
The petit off-line meeting with the four of us welcoming Mr. Jive to Osaka was finally the last one.
We all searched for the last sake and decided on No.6 R-type, which seemed to be open-flavored!
We enjoyed comparing the sake and regretted our last moments.
The first one.
The appearance is silver crystal.
The aroma is fresh muscat and plum with a hint of gas.
Upon drinking, from the gentle gas stimulation, sweetness and acidity reminiscent of fresh and cool apricots and plums spread smoothly, flowing lushly and sharply.
The finish is medium, with a slight bitter astringent tightness.
On the palate, both the aroma and the taste are vivid, with a strong impression of saturation and sharpness.
On the first and second days after opening, the taste is calm without a sense of gas, and the sweetness and acidity are easy to perceive, giving a sense of balance.
Maru seemed to like this one 😁.
The party ended with a vow to meet again in Sakai.
For various reasons, I have not disclosed my real name or job, but I can only express my gratitude for being so openly accepted into everyone's drinking circle.
Thank you so much, Jive, Umaisan and Maru-san 🙇😊.
Aladdin, thank you for your review of the offline meeting 😊.
It's refreshing to have a new policy at the end 😳👍I can see that it was another enjoyable party 🎶.
Aladdin, thank you for that 😊.
It was a fun drink 🍶It was great to see Aladdin in the flesh for the first time in a while🤣.
I'll bring that thing 👍 when the Umaisan Presents Sakai Petit Off-line Meeting is held.
Hi Aladdin, I'm with you 😃.
I like the toast 🥂 in the No.6 back picture 🤗.
It's fun to compare the opening of the bottle and the first few days of drinking 😚 I knew it would be fun to go offline ‼️
Aladdin, thanks for the petite offline review 😁.
As J&N said, it's nice to get a toast photo with No6 in the background ✨.
I'll be in Osaka when I get a chance, so let's have a drink together again 🥂.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I didn't drink Shinsei at the first toast, so it was a good opportunity for me to drink Unagidani and it became the last toast: ☺️
I would love to meet you and drink with you next time Pon-chan 🍶😊.
Thank you once again, Maru 😊.
It's been a while since I've been offline, but it's still intoxicating ☺️
Sorry for being a rare character and not being able to join in 😅.
I'd love to visit Sakai, not to mention that bottle thing 🤩 that looks like it's three times faster 😁.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Actually, this toast photo was a tribute to the Tochigi chapter 😁If it looks drunk, it was worth taking 😆.
It's only in offline meetings that we can get excited about maniacal drinking comparison 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
Don't lose to Tochigi branch! So this was the last toast photo I took, but it was nice to see the unique feeling of the offline meeting: ☺️
Gyve-san seems to know more about Osaka than me 😁Please let me join you again 🍶☺️
We welcomed Jive-san to Osaka for a petit off-line party with Umaisan, Maru-san and myself.
Part 5: Heated sake for the extravaganza: ☠️🔥🍶
We shared the heated sake that Jive-san requested 🍶.
This sake is from Ryoseki Sake Brewery in Akita, which brews Hana Yuu, Suitama, Yukigetsukana, Ryoseki, and others.
It is a Flame of Skull exclusively for heated sake. ☠️🔥
By the way, the blue bottle is junmai ginjo and the red bottle is special junmai, so this is the junmai ginjo.
It came out in a tin chirori, but I forgot to take a picture of that one😅.
The aroma is rich like freshly cooked rice mixed with a hint of fragrance 🌾.
I can feel a very faint remnant of a beautiful ginjo-like aroma at the back of it.
The taste is very smooth, with a sense of sweetness and acidity that flows in a calm and well-balanced manner.
It is said to be aged at low temperatures for heating before shipping, so there are no sharp edges even when heated, and it has a nice sense of calmness and cohesiveness.
The party, which had been enjoyable as we sipped sake and talked slowly, was almost over.
The party was almost over, and we were ready for the last sake.
We welcome Mr. Gyve to Osaka for a petit off-line party🍶 at "Nihon Sake Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
It's a party with Gyve-san, Umai-san, Maru-san and myself.
Part 4: The fifth glass is Eikofuji's summer sake ⭐️🏮.
Eiko-Fuji, I like it but I haven't been able to drink it recently so I selected it😄.
It has a slightly heavy fruity aroma with a hint of rice.
The first touch is surprisingly refreshing and dry.
As you drink more, you can taste the firm rice flavor and it lingers until the aftertaste.
Eiko-Fuji is a summer-oriented sake that focuses on a refreshing and clean feeling.
Just like eating nabeyaki udon noodles in the summer with the air conditioner on, I want to drink juicy fruity Eiko-Fuji in the summer 😁.
We all drank sake to our heart's content and talked about work, future goals, etc. ☺️
It was interesting and interesting to hear all the things that you can't hear only in your own real life 😊.
Alcohol tends to be a bad thing these days, but if people knew how to enjoy drunken drinks in a drunken way like this, I'm sure they would be less inclined to do things like alcohol abuse and drunk driving 🤔.
The party is almost over 🍶.
We welcomed Mr. Jaive to Osaka for a petit off-line meeting at "Sake Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi🍶.
No.3: Murayuki Akane label.
Around this time in the middle of the party, Maru-san rushed to join us on the way🏃.
Thank you for your time 😊.
Unfortunately, I am a somewhat rare character in the Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line Meeting because of my low participation rate, so I am very happy to be able to meet and talk with you in person on this occasion: ☺️
So the next sake was Akane label of Murayu.
I selected it because I drank Murayu's black label for the first time the other day and wanted to try something else.
It has a sweet and bitter aroma with a bit of caramel.
The taste has a slight touch of wasanbon (a type of Japanese sweetener) and a strong sweetness and acidity with a hint of sugar.
It has a sweet and sour taste that is typical of Murayusuke, with an astringent bitter aftertaste.
It is as if the sweetness of the Black Label was made a little simpler and less sweet, and the complexity of bitter and astringent flavors were added to the taste.
I thought I understood the character of Murayusuke. ☺️
By the way, Maru-san was sweating because he rushed to the restaurant, so his first drink was beer 🍺.
I went on to the next drink 😁.
Good morning, Aladdin 😊.
Offline meetings are always fun and a really drunken occasion, so I'm a greedy person who wants to attend as much as possible 🤣.
Oh, don't tell me you drank beer because you will be scolded by Kansai Sakewa 🤣.
Hi Aladdin ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you so much for the other day 🙇 It was a pleasure to be with you again ✨.
It was a pleasure to be with you again ✨
I was wondering if I should ask for "Murayu" and "Eikoufuji Hoshi Matsuri" that Aladdin asked for 😁.
Good evening, Maru 😃.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule 😊.
It was a pleasure to have you join us and to drink and talk with you 😄.
We look forward to working with you in the future 🍺.
Oh, the beer thing was off the record 😅.
We welcomed Mr. Jive to Osaka for a petit off-line meeting 🍶 at "Nihonshu Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
No.2-3: The third sake of the manager's recommended 3-sake drinking comparison.
The third sake of the three recommended by the manager.
This is the most famous sake of Tobiroki.
The manager's recommended sake comparison consists of three representative standard sakes from famous sake breweries.
If you have any doubts, just order this one for sure 😄.
I have had the Junmai Ginjo Black Label from Tobiroki, but this is my first time drinking the Special Junmai. ☺️
The aroma is sour yellow apple🍎, gentle koji aroma, freshly pounded rice cake🌾.
On the palate, the gentle yet intense sweetness of the rice and the lightly stimulating sourness spread out.
The acidity lightly clears to the back of the throat, followed by a beautifully astringent aftertaste.
It tastes delicious.
This is also intoxicating!
I thought the flavor was richer than the junmai ginjo I drank before.
I want to drink a bottle slowly. ☺️
We talked about all sorts of things while eating eel rolls, a specialty at Unagidani.
Thanks to Sake-no-wa, members who have no connection to each other except for their love of sake are able to enjoy delicious sake and snacks while getting drunk.
Thanks to the sake relationship, the party continues.
Good evening, Aladdin. I wish I could have been there 😭I would have loved to compare the famous drinks at Unagidani. The eel rolls look delicious too! It's great that sake lovers can get together 😆🍶.
Hi Aladdin 😃
Definitely sake and eel rolls are the best 🤗 what can I say, a pleasant conversation with my sakéwa friends😊 is the most wonderful accompaniment 😚.
Hi Hirupeco 😃
It's been a while since I've seen you and Hirupeco and I wanted to have a maniacal sake discussion 😁.
It's only at offline meetings that we can talk about sake in depth, and the rest of the conversation was fun and great to say the least 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
Well, the sake, the snacks, and most of all, the party after a long time with my sake friends was great in every way: ☺️
I love to spend time alone with my sake, but it's also intoxicating to share it with my sake friends 😊.
