Timeline
TonyOn my way home, I came across a Takeyuki tasting and sales event at a liquor store. There was a toji there who talked to us about various things and recommended this product, which he said was limited and rare, so we bought it.
(Actually, I was going to buy the sake that won the sake competition gold medal...)
（The aroma was melon-like (as one would expect from Ibaraki), and the palate had a light sweetness and umami flavor, which was quickly broken by the spiciness, but the lingering sweetness remained and spread, which I found to be a very unusual taste. It was delicious and went well with the meat dishes at the department store (discount) 😌.

Revisiting Night & Dance, which I received once before and gave a 10 at the time.
I was curious to see how I feel about it now, so I bought it.
According to the description, it is "fresh and invigorating, perfect for hot summers," and "a great accompaniment to active scenes such as camping and festivals.
and "can be used for camping, festivals, and other active activities" according to the description.
It's still delicious 😋.
It is a perfect accompaniment for active scenes in the hot summer. ❣️
If you like sake, you don't need beer 😅 if you have this chilled sake.
The taste of rice and the moderate sweetness will make you gobble it up straight away without any stimulation.
It's just a little too light, and like beer, it needs to be chilled to the perfect temperature.
I served it chilled.

-Aroma on the rise: Ginjo aroma 👍
-The aroma is a bit too strong for my liking.

Pepho, who likes to be picky, gave it a 9😅.
Went to Shinjuku today for a health checkup.
On the way home, I got sucked into the usual Seibu Food Hall "Sake Brewery" 😅.
I couldn't see the "No.44 Māyākyū-chan" already... 😅
Instead, I bought a sake from Toyama, which I have never had before.
According to the description, it is "a light and refreshing sake with lime and grapefruit nuances.
Indeed, the first sip reveals a citrusy taste and the underlying umami of rice.
After that, it fades out with a slight astringency in tow.
It is quite light and easy to drink, perhaps due to the 13% alcohol content.
It may be suitable to drink in summer with summer dishes.
I served it chilled.
The aroma I perceived was as follows
-Aroma: A strong ginjo aroma 👍
-Aroma: Aroma of ginjyo as it is.

Haneya! We have a lot of trust in this one for sure 🤗It's delicious 😋Did you two go for a checkup together? We're going for a day and a bit of sobriety 😁. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
It was very delicious ❣️😋
I should have bought all of them since they had two more kinds 😅.
I'm the only one at the checkup.
This year I couldn't resist the alcohol ban and drank some Māyākyūchan the day before 😱.

I went to the Seibu Food Hall again to repeat my previous purchase of "Kudokutei No. 33" because it was so delicious, but I couldn't find it anymore. Instead, I found this "No. 44 Maka-Mystery-chan" and bought it. I was convinced by the description on the label, even though I am a sake novice. Sake is really interesting.
My impression was that it was a Junmai Daiginjo, just like No. 33!
Here are my impressions of No. 33
The pure, simple, clear, yet deep flavor of rice continues from beginning to end. It is a pure, simple, clear, yet profound rice flavor that lasts throughout the entire bottle! That was my impression.
This time, a moderate spiciness has been added to this, giving the impression of a good sharpness.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I perceived was as follows.

It was a bit disappointing as it was lukewarm. ひまたろうI drank it once at Maruhachi in Takadanobaba and shockingly liked it, so I bought it myself. If I had carried it around outside, it would have gotten a little slimy and the gassy feeling would have been weaker.

Pekho-san got a bottle of "Kudokibe" that he had been curious about at Sake-no-Wa at the Sake Brewery in the Seibu Food Hall B2!
According to the explanation on the label, "We want to make something addictive that can carve out a life with sake.
The rice is made from Banshu Aizan rice, which accounts for 8.3% of the Aizan harvest and is classified as a special top grade rice.
The impression is that this is the Junmai Daiginjo! The impression is pure, simple, clear, and yet deep.
The pure, simple, clear, yet deep umami of the rice continues throughout the bottle.
It is a pure, simple, clear, yet deep rice flavor that lasts throughout the entire bottle! That's the impression I got!
It is certainly addictive 😋.
It's one of the sake that I always want to keep in stock 😅.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows.
-Aroma: A modest ginjo aroma 👍
-The aroma is a little bit astringent and a little bit dry on the nose.

Found this at the "Sake Brewery" in the Seibu Food Hall B2 🤩.
I was interested in it after reading Jay & Nobby's post, so I bought it without hesitation even though it was an Omachi.
According to the description, "Clear and sharp mouthfeel, mellow aroma and clean acidity. The mild aroma complements a variety of dishes as a food sake, and you can easily drink two or three glasses for a long time.
My impression is that the sweetness, moderate astringency, and spiciness are mixed together, and at the end, the astringency is released into the nose as an aroma, while the sweetness follows in parallel. Such was my impression 🍶.
It is sweet, but light and not too heavy, so you can drink it while eating, and you can drink it for a long time.
It was served chilled.
I was impressed by the aroma.

It's a drink that can bring out many flavors, so I also paired it with a toasted bucket of parmigiano, maple syrup and pepper. Delicious ‼️ and easy going ❤️ shinsaku3I ended up drinking it loose and emptying it long 😅. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
Thank you for your reference to ㊗️ 😊Thank you for your time 😁The homemade ham looks delicious 😍.
Hitogokochi nozomu from Tochigi is also delicious 😋 Please give it a try 👋. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
I would like to try Hitokokochi Nozomi and the rest of the Nozomi lineup 🍶. としちゃんRipe banana
Fresh and effervescent
Fresh.
Juicy. disryI found this Bodai Hashiwado Mimuro Sugi at Seibu Ikebukuro on a whim. I bought it on impulse because it was low in alcohol and had a cool jacket.
The aroma is mild lactic acid and cemedine. I like it. No gassiness.
Crisp sweetness. I expected a harsh acidity after that, but it's also refreshingly sour and crisp.
The aftertaste is a gentle acidity that lingers on smoothly.
The level is high. I thought it was the kind of sake served at a nice restaurant. I have not had much luck with Mimuro Cedar since my favorite liquor store does not carry it, but I would like to try it in the future. TonyI met it at a liquor store in a department store on my way home and was drawn to buy it because it was limited to one bottle per person. It had a refreshing aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the 🍋-like acidity rushes in, leaving a clean aftertaste. I will be eating sashimi tonight, but I thought it would go better with meat. ハリーOtter Blue 🫐.
First time getting a reimported sake from the US NY brewery!
I'll have to try this one 😁.
The rice is Yamadanishiki imported from Japan.
They hope to grow their own sake rice in America in the future!
It has a mix of umami and sourness, with the sourness prevailing.
But the reimported product costs more than twice as much as regular Junmai sake.
and it seems to be selling well in the US 🇺🇸
Well, it's ok😅. TonyWhen I was in Mie Yokkaichi this month, the owner of an izakaya (which offers an amazing number and brand of sake) told me about a sake he had recently recommended. I happened to come across it this week and bought it. The aroma reminded me of fresh greenery, and after taking a sip, the sweetness tightened up (instead of spreading out like other sake) and disappeared with the deep umami of the rice. It was one of the most notably delicious sakes I've had recently! 阿佐波It's Friday: ❣️
It's been a while since I looked in the East Exit Depa Basement.
It's the same as ever.
I was so excited by the "one bottle per person" rule ^_^.
Kouei Kiku🌼's Otona Orange
Grapefruit type of citrus 🍊.
The bitter peel flavor gives it a pleasantly adult feel 😍.
Too pleasant pithy schwar🫧.
14 degrees of temptation💕
Oh no, I can't get enough of it.
It's Friday, so I guess it's okay... ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Asanami 😃.
We had twilight orange 🍊 last night too 🤗three seasons in a row, but it's really good and twilight. ☺️ 14 degrees on Friday is OK 👍 阿佐波Hi Jay & Nobby! I see that dusk 🍊 orange is very popular! I buy this every year 😆 14 degrees is not fair 😋.
The name "dusk" makes sense. I now know about citrus for adults 🥰. のんだくれI had to go out to Tokyo to run some errands.
I remembered that there was a liquor store in the basement of Seibu, so I took a look while waiting for the La View to depart.
I got what I was looking for, a four-pack of Machida Sake Brewery's four-pack.
I was about to buy it, but all the places I looked had only one bottle.
I opened the bottle right away and found it to be juicy, not too sweet, and very crisp.
It is not heavy, so you can easily drink it.
Personally, I feel a strong affinity with Igarashi!
There were many fans in Ikebukuro this evening after watching the Lions-SoftBank game! Kirei八九 五段仕込 無濾過生酒純米生酒無濾過 としちゃんFirst time to make a good kudoi
Sweet and mellow taste
Too cosy! もけけI have been wanting to try Haneya for a long time. It is a seasonal light nigori, and the label is nice!
The aroma and sweetness are moderate, but it goes well with a meal. The alcohol content is 14%, so it will be gone before you know it. 
ハリーFinally 900 CI 😁.
Today's sake is a long-established sake from Saitama, Shinkame Junmai Namaishu.
I drink it cold at first.
Fresh and a little sour.
Fruity for a Shinkame!
Then, of course, it moved on to the Nobey Yokocho!
Plump and more umami
A moderate sourness flows through it
Now, Takarafuji, who seemed to have an overwhelming advantage
injured, looking forward to tomorrow's Chishu-rakura 😊.
Home drinking 605 ヒラッチョHarry, congratulations on your 900 check-in: ㊗️
Nice to see another warmed up bottle of Shinkame draft sake👍.

I'm getting nervous, what shall I do 😁. ハリーThanks a lot, Pon 😊.
I will try my best to make it to the big day: ❗️
You never know in sumo until the very end.

I'm also rooting for my local sake, Saitama,
I chose Kamikame this time.
I am also rooting for my hometown sake, so I decided to go with Kamikame this time,
So, the young wrestlers are prominent in this tournament,
Let's see what will happen in the end, ハリーThank you, Aladdin 😊.
I will watch the matches tonight while licking something.
Recently, some chic young rikishi have emerged and they are becoming more interesting.
They have become more interesting. Atami Fuji, Gonoyama, Hakusabuho, etc. are also good! ハリーThank you, Hirupeko 😊.
I think Kamikame is basically an orthodox style of sake, but I think it's fun that they are trying new styles such as recently releasing Kamigamera and Nama-zake. ハリーGood morning, Jaynobi 😃.
Thank you 😊
I decided on spring-like pink Kamikame Nama sake with local love ❤️, it's still cold so it goes well with hot sake, last year the cherry blossoms were already in full bloom, but what happened this year 😅? ＠水橋Hi Harry 😃
Congratulations on your 900 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉!
Shinkame raw sake looks delicious 😋.
I see you won the championship, Takeru Fuji. Asanoyama yesterday, it was very powerful to watch. ハリーGood evening, @Mizuhashi 🌇.
Thank you very much 😊.
I thought that Takarafuji was injured yesterday, but he showed his last foolishness, he was so apparelled, winning the Shin-Ishimaku championship 🏆 in his 10th place after only his first ring is too much 😆. Masaaki SapporoThanks again Harry 👍Congratulations on your 900 check-ins 🎉The divine turtle looks great ✨. ハリーMasaaki Sapporo, thank you 😊 Shinkame is a long-established company representing Saitama, they have a variety of sake from new to old.
It is a perfect sake to be heated up when it is cold 🍶. つぶちゃんGood morning, Harry 😄
