Timeline
ヤスベェI've been practicing sake tasting for a while now and haven't had time to enjoy sake, so today Kaorin and I went walking in the Expo Park with sake.
The sake we brought was Omine-san's cup of hanadbi sake.
I saw Pon-chan drinking this sake before and wanted to try it, so I went looking for it.
It was a sake with a sweetness that was easy to drink and could be enjoyed even under a fine autumn sky 😀.
Finally, tomorrow is the sake tasting test for the second round of the sake diploma 😀.
Regardless of the result, I'm happy because once tomorrow is over, I'll be able to enjoy sake again purely and without hesitation 😇. ma-ki-Hi Yasbay, how are you?
A lovely one-cup outdoors from walking with you and your wife - lovely ✨.
The weather is beautiful and liberating and it looks so refreshing🍀.
I wish you all the best for tomorrow's exam 😊. ワカ太Hi Yasbay 😃Great weather, walking, and a good cup of sake, a day with all the good things 👍💕Good luck with the sake diploma exam ❗️❗️ アラジンGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
Daimine cups look great when you take them outside on a sunny day 📷☺️
The only drawback is that it's so tasty inside too, you drink it up so quickly and it's not enough at all 😁. ぺっほGood evening Yasbaye😊You and your husband are too nice to have a sake walk! I'll suggest it to my husband too 🥰Good luck with your sake diploma 📣The tasting exam looks difficult, but when you're done, please drink it with your favorite food and Kaorin: ❤️ ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay😃!
Nice photo of the Oumine cup over the Tsumami bento 🍱 under the clear sky ☀️! The highball blurring in the background too 👍Second sake tasting test! Have fun 👋 ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I hope you are in the middle of exams right now and I wish you the best of luck with your hard work 🙏✨.
The cups from Daimine are cute, tasty and perfect for picnics 🎶 and fireworks in the right color 😉👍💕. ヤスベェHi ma-ki- 😀
Unfortunately, the exam was a bust 😅.
I mean, I'm out of the game when I'm out enjoying myself on the day before the exam 🤣.
But I'm glad to know that I can enjoy sake again from today 😀. ヤスベェHello, Wakata 😀
It's been a while since I had a good drink while enjoying the scenery and atmosphere 😀.
I'm finally done with my exams and that's all the more reason to be happy to be able to enjoy drinking again😇. ヤスベェHi Aladdin 😀
It was quite a nice view to see the green nature through the fireworks on the crystal clear cup😇.
But I was a little disappointed that the waterfalls were hardly flowing due to the lack of rain 😀. ヤスベェHi Pepo 😀
Kaorin and I both enjoy walking and sake in common, so our outings are usually sake related 🤣.
I didn't get the sake diploma, but I won't be taking it next year... I can't enjoy drinking sake if I'm a sake taster 😅. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I was able to forget about sake tasting and enjoy a natural drink 😀.
After all, the best way to enjoy sake is to drink it happily😇.
I will forget about the test and start drinking happily again tonight 😇. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
I'm finally free from exams and I'm on my way back😇
I wanted to have 3 kinds like you, Pon-chan, but there were only 2 kinds left 🤣.
I still want to have all of them, even if they are the same flavor 🤣. ヤスベェWe opened a bottle of sake that we purchased at a sake and Japanese pizza coop on the ground floor that we visited for Kaorin's birthday celebration 😀.
This store always has several Nabeshima sake on tap with no sales limit, so it's easy to plan a Nabeshima sake drinking comparison😇.
Earlier this year we did a 6 bottle Nabeshima drinking comparison and at that time we chose the Kishisuku Jun Dai, but this time we chose the Junmai Ginjo 😇.
The jun-dai had a very strong ginjo flavor, but the junmai ginjo had a moderate ginjo flavor, and for me, the balance between the ginjo aroma and the feeling of drinking it was very good and delicious 😀.
I enjoyed my first Kitashizuku Junmai Ginjo 😇 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbaye 😃.
We too have a liquor store near us that carries a large selection of Nabesama 😊 and we feel safe to buy it anytime👍.
We only drink Kitashizuku outside and don't remember much about it 😅 maybe we prefer Jungin too 🤗. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
The stores that carry Nabeshima-san are extreme 🤣.
Some liquor stores carry all kinds of Nabeshima, and some carry it but treat it as a pre-sake 🤣.
Jungin was delicious😇 boukenSake that Yoohee and I bought together when we visited liquor stores in Osaka.
The hi-ire sake was good, so I bought the draft. It is fruity and sweet, but unlike the hi-ire, it has a complex and unique atmosphere.
The overall taste is sweet, but the latter half of the taste is like a Sanin sake.
It has an atmosphere similar to that of Honorary Ikezuki.
When the temperature rises, it has a strong nutty taste. I don't know if it was laid down in the brewery or not, but I guess it was. ゆーへーbouken, here's another one 💡.
I also bought it and drank it pretty early, but I had the same impression, I thought it was a bit different from what I expected.
I drank it with gusto when I was eating barbecued meat though 🥩. boukenGood evening, Mr. Yoohee.
I thought the fire-roasted one was more fruity and easier to drink 😅I thought it went well with strong dishes 😋. ヤスベェUltimate drinking comparison (2)
This is the second day of drinking comparison of Kuroten Hi-ire 😀.
This is just my impression and opinion, but the new Kuroten Hi-ire is tasting more and more like 寫楽さん's taste, and the taste is getting away from the previous master brewer's Kuroten 🤣.
Some people say that the taste doesn't change that much with a different master brewer, but in my opinion it's completely different... of course that's just my opinion, I'm not a taste person 😅.
The president of Otters says that if you rely only on the master brewer's blueprints, the taste variation from year to year will be too large, so Otters has eliminated the master brewer and uses data and manuals to minimize the taste variation as much as possible. In other words, the taste changes depending on the sensitivity of the master brewer, right?
I asked chuin-san for his opinion, and he said that it is impossible to take over the master brewer's blueprint without brewing several times together in order to take over the brewery's flavor when there is a change of master brewers.
However, it would be rude to make other people think that my amateur opinion is different from theirs, so from now on I'll just keep it in my memory and not comment on it 😅.
I'll study a little more and come back 🙇. かおりんLet's both learn as we experience things together 🍶! And having fun is the best 😊. Rafa papaEven if the taste is different from the previous master brewer, as long as it tastes good, I think it's good!
Sake is not made by the master brewer alone, but by the efforts of many brewers.
I think it's disrespectful to compare them.
I don't have any feelings for the toji, so I want to support the current breweries. ヤスベェRafa papa, good evening 😀.
I'm very sorry 🙇.
As a beginner like me who has no taste buds, I can't understand the taste unless I compare the drinks.
As I said before, I will refrain from commenting on the taste until I learn a little more 🙇. ポンちゃんGood morning, Yasube & Kaorin 🐥.
I understand well this time the difference and change in taste, so please keep on saying this kind of taste 😊I always refer to it 🙏. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀.
Thank you very much 🙇. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
I think it's great that you can feel the difference first 🤗 maybe we'll end up with both of them being good 😆 Feel free to share your thoughts! Enjoy 👋 ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀.
Thank you very much 🙇.
I guess it was a somewhat high place for a newbie like me to talk about taste 🤣.
I'll learn more and come back 🙇. フリーター一代男Hello, Yasbay ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
I think that everyone has his or her own way of feeling, so you can say what you feel as you like. If it is a place that does not allow me to do so, I will only be able to upload photos. ヤスベェThank you very much, freelancer man of the first generation 🙇.
I never thought about it, but if you even call my amateur drinking comparison comment rude to you, I can't say anything😅.
I'll just leave the pictures until I learn more and can talk about it😅 boukenHi Yasbay 😃.
Everyone has their own tastes and feelings, depending on their physical condition. I don't think it's a problem to write that you don't like it or that it doesn't taste good, as long as it's not slanderous 😁. boukenNot all sake tastes good...
If you are asking if we are professionals or amateurs, some of us have certifications or were brewers, but basically most of us are amateurs, so don't worry about it 👍. ヤスベェThank you, bouken 🙇.
I didn't mean to slander you at all, I just wrote about the difference in the direction of taste I felt. boukenI don't think Yasbay slandered you at all😅.
I just thought it wasn't something that needed to be refrained from, and I don't think Rafa would want that either. ヤスベェWe've been planning this for a while and waiting anxiously and looking forward to the drinking comparison 🤣.
This is a drinking comparison between the former toji and the new regime of Amami's Kurotemi Hi-ire 😀.
In Hakuten Sei, I gave the new regime a bad review 😅.
On the contrary, I praised the new system in Momoten 😅.
Today we're comparing the same standard Kuro-ten Hi-ire at the same time 🤣.
Conclusion... both are delicious, but it was clear that the taste direction is different 😀.
My impression is that the former master brewer's Kuroten is a gorgeous and bouncy sake, while the new master brewer's Kuroten is a more relaxed sake 😀.
I didn't tell Kaorin what kind of sake it was and let her compare the two Kurotens and 寫楽さん, but she probably honestly said that the new Kurotens and 寫楽 were from the same lineage and the former toji's were from a different lineage 😀.
It comes down to preference... but I still preferred the taste of Mae Toji's 😀.
Kaorin seems to like the taste of the new system a lot 😀. Rafa papaGood morning Yasbaye 😃.
You have to compare them 😊but even the same sake tastes different depending on the year 😁I don't think a change of toji will suddenly change the direction of the sake 🙄. こぞうMr. Yasube.
Good morning!
The ultimate comparison 😍I can't do it nowadays, but when I remember it, the way you described it in your report, I can relate to it 🤩. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😀
I'm a stupid person with a bad taste buds, so don't worry too much about what I say 🤣.
But even if the same orchestra plays the same song, the direction may change when the conductor, Toji, changes ❓🤣🤣. ヤスベェHi Koizo 😀
I wanted to compare them with the same production year if possible, so I kept the last Kuroten Hinshitsu firmly in place😇.
I couldn't express myself well with my amateur comment, but I'm glad to see someone else feels the same way😇. さけラン
Good evening, Yasube!
By the way, what are the two tasting glasses beside the wine glasses of Amami for? (water maybe?) ヤスベェGood evening, sake-run 😀
This is the sake that I left for an hour right after opening the bottle and let it come to room temperature 🤣.
I can't compare the cold sake only because I have a stupid tongue 😅.
Still, I can't compare the tastes 🤣. ヤスベェToday I chose a sake from Tottori Prefecture 😀.
Actually, I misunderstood and bought it thinking I hadn't yet drank the second round of Tottori Prefecture, but I had already conquered Tottori Prefecture 🤣.
Regardless, this Shuwatto was an interesting sake 😀.
I thought it was just a sweet sake when I put it in my mouth, but that was soon drowned out by the carbonation and only the cider taste remained in my mouth😇.
It was a delicious drink with low alcohol content (12% alcohol) that you can drink with gusto 😇. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasubeyesan 😃.
We made the mistake of thinking it was Tottori sake 🍶 but it was Shimane sake 🍶 in the first round 😅I remember Chiyomusubi was delicious in Hiroshima: ☺️ ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Actually, I had cleared Tottori Prefecture with a sake called Inatahime, but I thought for sure this sake was from Shimane Prefecture🤣.
If you had written Inadahime in kanji, I would have still understood 😅. Rafa papaHi Yasbaye 😃
I thought Chiyomusuhi was a dry sake 😅I drank the Kitaro series... so they have a sweet one too 😳and carbonated 😳I don't think I can make a second round 🙄. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😀
❓❓
I thought you had already completed the second lap 🤣!
Please conquer Tottori prefecture on your second lap in the sky 😇. ヤスベェSpring Sake & Nigorinpic 1️⃣ 5️⃣
Since we're in May, I'm going to end this project once and for all 🤣.
The last one is the most sinful sake for my wife and I😅.
Since today's spring, we started to drink Sake, and we came across this Kido's Haru no Kaorufu 🤣.
Anyway, I found out how delicious sake is and bought it again and again to decorate our dining table, but I remember how sad I was when I couldn't buy it after spring 😅.
But after spring passed, I was sad when I couldn't buy any more of this sake anymore 🤣.
Delicious...I remembered the taste from last year and the excitement came back😇.
It has the same line as yesterday's spring sake from Jyuseki, with a gentle sweetness and well-balanced taste that spreads in the mouth and disappears with a slight spiciness at the end, so it goes well with meals 😀.
Of course, the taste is different from that of Jyuseki's, but I realized again that this kind of gentle balance is the charm of spring sake 😀.
We will end this project for now, but there are still some spring sake left in the fridge, so we will open them one by one and enjoy them for as long as possible 🌸. ワカ太Good evening, Yasube!
Kido, when I drank it for the first time, I also thought it was such a great tasting sake 😅I really sinful 😅I want everyone to drink a bottle of Spring Kaorufu, I even buy it as a souvenir for my parents when I go back home in spring ❣️ ヤスベェI started drinking sake last spring 😅.
It's weird how spring is today 🤣. ヤスベェGood evening, Wakata!
I'm so glad to know that there are other Kido fans who are as passionate as I am.
I think this Haruno Kaorufu is the starting point of my sake life.
I feel special because I think it's the starting point of my sake life 😀.
But I'm guilty 🤣. マルGood evening, Yasube-san 🌗.
Kido's spring breeze is delicious, isn't it? And cheap 😁I love it too ❤️
It's almost the season of summer gale ☺️ ヤスベェGood evening, Maru 😀
It's almost the season of summer gale, isn't it😇
But last year I didn't know about that kind of sake season, so when I found out that Haru-no-Korukaze was gone and it became Natsu-no-Shippu, I thought ❓❓🤣. ロビンGood morning, Yasube-san ☀☀☀☀.
Kido was the drink that got you hooked 🎊
I can relate to you 😁It's been a while since I had a drink that got me hooked 😁.
This kind of thing is good 👍 Rafa papaGood morning Yasube 😃
I always buy Kido because the Jun Dai is so cheap... I haven't had it for a while 😅I used to say Kido when people asked me what sake I recommend 😁I went to the brewery twice while I was working 😌. ヤスベェHi Robin 😀
Robin-san's addicted sin sake is Shiga sake as an example 😀.
I'm waiting for your report on the opening of the bottle 😇.
I think the sake you are really into tastes many times better with a lot of added feelings 🤣. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😀
I think Kido's sake is very cosy, especially the Jun-Dai 😇.
I tried to find it on foot before while I went to Kimiidera, but I couldn't find the brewery 🤣.
I will go to the store at Nankai City Station on my next vacation! つぶちゃんGood evening, Yasube!
This is the sake that my son gave me as a gift a few years ago because it was so delicious ✨It is a special sake for me too because he gave it to me every year before Dora started to buy sake 🥰. ヤスベェToday I had a bottle of this year's Hakutensei from Tenbi, a sake brewery in my hometown of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😀.
The new Tenbi is the result of the resignation of Mr. Fujioka at the end of last year 😀 We compared them with 寫楽さん and Ōbai Macho, both of which were opened earlier 😀.
We compared it with 寫楽さん and Ōbai Macho, which had been opened earlier 😀.
I was expecting to drink the new Tenbi Hakuten, but to be honest, I didn't find it as spectacular as before 😅.
Today, 寫楽さん and 大盃さん are by far more delicious to my palate 🤣.
I have a bottle of Kuroten Hi-ire left in my fridge, which was the last brewed by Mr. Fujioka, so my final decision will be to compare it with the new Kuroten Hi-ire, but depending on the result, unfortunately there may be no more Tenbi in my hometown 😅. ポンちゃんGood evening, Mr. Yasube.
I've heard that more and more people are drinking the new Tenmei and they say the same thing 😟🙏 I guess that means it's difficult to make it like before 🥺. Rafa papaGood evening Yasbaye 😃.
Was the restarted Tenbi not so good 🥲 I have some Momoten in the fridge... 😅I guess the presence of a toji is important 😳 Still, it's not a failure for the brewery, so I'll drink it from time to time to support them 📣. ヤスベェGood morning, Pon-chan 😀
I guess there are people who feel the same way 😅.
A brewery in my hometown once went out of business, but with the support of local businesses, it has made a spectacular comeback, so I hope it will do even better 🙏. ヤスベェGood morning, Rafa papa 😀
I was so excited because it's an important sake in my hometown 😅.
I think I could have supported the new organization more comfortably if they restarted under a different sake name 😨.
It seems that the creator has a big influence on me. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasube!
I've heard some people say that it's less gorgeous or bitter 🤔 some people say it's still the same 😋 😅 it depends on the food and your health condition 🤗 ヤスベェGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😀.
In my case, maybe it's the added thought of it being a particularly local sake 🤣.
But it seems like I'd be happier to drink it as something different if they changed the name of the sake and started over pleasantly 😅. 
アラジンFollowing yesterday's Nabeshima mood: ☺️
This is the first time I've had the raw Kitashizuku from Nabeshima.
Kitashizuku is a Hokkaido sake brewing rice following Hatsushizuku, Ginpu, and Comet.
The quality of the sake is soft and refreshing with little bitterness, and is said to be a good combination of Ginpu and Comet 🤔.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo brewed with a 40% polished rice ratio, and is only available in limited season.
The appearance is warm crystal.
The nose has a fruity upfront aroma of sweet apricots, fresh yellow apples and quince, with citrus nuances of acidity at lower temperatures, which fades as the temperature rises.
It also has a rice aroma, like that of freshly ground rice.
It has a smooth mouthfeel, with a soft fruity and wasanbon-like sweetness that mixes with the acidity along with a beautiful umami.
From the mid-palate, the sweet fruity overtone leaves a sweet and umami taste on the tongue, while the acidity gently rises to the back of the throat with a slight stimulation and a hint of bitterness.
The lingering finish is long, with a slight bitterness, but it is sharp and does not linger.
At low temperatures, it is fresh, clean, and pure, but as the temperature rises, the stimulation of acidity and bitterness can be felt.
Well, a beautiful taste with a sense of quality. ☺️
It is a pure dagin.
I might try it heated later 🍶. Rafa papaGood morning, Aladdin 😃.
I was worried that I would have to prepare a kaiseki meal to match the elegance of the pot 😌🤣 but it still looks delicious... 🤤. ヤスベェGood morning, Aladdin 😀
I'm glad to hear that my favorite drinks, both natto and nabeshima, share the same taste as Aladdin's 😇.
But in my case, I could only describe it as beautiful, sticking out from the fruity Nabeshima 🤣. ポンちゃんHi Aladdin 🐦.
I'm so jealous ✨I see you are opening more and more good nabe-sama 〰❣️, it's a rice from Hokkaido! I'd love to try this beautiful fusion of north and south 😊I'll be waiting for your thoughts on heating it up too! アラジンHi Rafa papa 😃.
It is indeed a beautiful sake that would go well with kaiseki or kappo Japanese cuisine 🍶.
I drank it with a very junky food item I bought at Hanshin department store, a large fish cutlet and nigiri tempura 😅. アラジンHi Yasbay 😃
No really I think we probably have similar criteria for buying alcohol😊.
Everyone has their own sensory evaluation of the taste and other aspects of sake, so I too am very much referring to Yasbaye's and Orin's impressions: ☺️ アラジンHi Pon 😃
I love Nabeshima, I can't resist when I see it 😅.
My thoughts on heating it up might be on Instagram 🤔🙇🙇.
It's definitely a fusion of north and south 😳 On the other hand, I'd like to try something like Sanzen Sakura brewed with Yamadanishiki from Itoshima: ☺️ つよーだいGood evening 😁I've never had Nabeshima Kitashizuku so I'll try it when I find it 😆. アラジンGood evening, Tsuyodai 😃!
Kitashizuku's Nabeshima, this time it is a draft sake, but I am sure there will be a fire-aged version in the future, and I would love for you to try it! ヤスベェThe last day of the Nabesama drinking comparison is the big one, Junmai Daiginjo Kitashizuku Nama Sake 😀.
We compared Purple Nabe-sama Nama and New Moon Nabe-sama, which had been opened earlier 😀.
The four bottles up to Purple Nabeshama were within the Nabeshima taste I had expected, but New Moon and this Kitashizuku were way out of my expectation of Nabeshima's taste 😅.
I was surprised by New Moon when I drank it yesterday, and I was surprised by the taste of today's Jun Big Tashizuku, which is an even cleaner or clearer version of Now Moon😅.
But I'm really glad I did this 6 bottles parallel drinking comparison 😀.
If I had drank each of the 6 bottles, I probably would have ended up saying that each one was delicious, but thanks to this comparison, I was able to learn the depth of Nabeshima Sama 😀.
It was fun 👌 ポンちゃんYasbay. Good evening 🦉.
This one seems to be quite tasty too 😳You continued to compare the drinks so it was easy to understand the taste of all of them👍
Thank you for your hard work on the Nabe-sama drinking comparison 😊. アラジンGood morning, Yasubeyesan 😃.
Thanks for the Nabeshima horizontal drinking comparison 🍶Yasubeyesan house is starting to look more and more like Maruriki 😁.
It's good to open the bottle at the same time at home so you can easily compare the changes after opening 😊. T.KISOGood evening, Yasubeyesan😄Thanks for the comparison: ❣️
Kitashizuku's raw Jun Dai was a bit expensive 😅NewMoon is 😋👍💕, including the price. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasube 😃.
Kitajizuku like a refreshing version of New Moon which was said to be outstandingly delicious 😋‼️ this seems to be the best fit for us right now 🤗Thanks for the drink comparison 😊. ヤスベェThank you, Pon 😀.
I managed to complete the Nabeshima-sama drinking comparison successfully 😀.
My final impression is... Nabeshima-sama is all delicious... 🤣. ヤスベェGood evening, Aladdin!
I took this project from Maruriki 🤣.
The parallel drinking comparison was fun because we could compare not only the sake, but also compare the progress of the flavors 😀.
Of course, Nabe-sama is a very talented person 😀. ヤスベェGood evening, T.KISO 😀.
Indeed.
Nabeshima Jun Dai is a bit expensive, so I don't think it's strictly for everyday use either 🤣.
Considering that, I think New Moon has the best cosmetic value 👌. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I'm going to spoil the surprise, but tonight I'm comparing it with Saku's Junmai Daiginjo Shinshu, which is more clear and clean compared to Saku 😀.
I can tell the difference in taste even in the sake we are comparing. 遥瑛チチHi Yasbay 😃
Thanks for finishing the race: ❗️
Of all the ones we compared, this one is the only one that's clean, dry and of a different strain.
Of course, it tastes good, but... ヤスベェHello, Haruei Chichi 😀
This is the first time I have had a Junmai Daiginjo from Nabeshima and I was surprised that it was quite different from my impression of Nabeshima so far 🤣.
Of course, the underlying Nabeshima color is the same, so it was delicious 😀. ヤスベェOn the 5th day of the Nabesama drinking comparison, we finally came to the new sake 😀.
We will compare Akaban Omachi and Purple Nabesama which were opened earlier 😀.
The moment I drank it... ❓It's not the same 😅
All the Nabesama I've compared so far had a strong basic Nabesama flavor, but this sake feels like a completely different sake even though it still has Nabesama at its core 😀.
Anyway, it is by far the most delicious compared to the Nabeshima I've been comparing to drink so far: ❤️
Kaorin had her usual stray words again after drinking this sake🤣.
She said this sake is not sake...it's between sake and white wine🤣.
But that's pretty much how I felt today too 😀.
Nabeshima is also a really good sake with a wide range of flavors: ❤️ かおりんThis Nabeshima🍶 was my favorite! ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay😃.
I've never had New Moon🌕 but 🥲this review shows that it's probably my favorite flavor😍It's interesting that you can get a distinctly different flavor by comparing 🤗Thanks for the reference! アラジンGood morning, Yasbay and Kaorin 😃.
I see that you and your wife liked New Moon the best 😄I like it too 🌑.
A horizontal drinking comparison between Nabeshima seems to be a good way to get a better idea of its characteristics 😊. ジークじこんHi Yasbaye 😃.
Nabe-sama is between sake and white wine and is dang tasty ✨.
I would love to drink it 😆. T.KISOGood morning, Yasube, ☀️
I used to drink 🟩Tokujun, but after drinking this one, it easily became the best 🤣👍It was so good 💕NewMoon ポンちゃんHi Yasbay!
I want to drink it so much when I see that it is the most delicious one! I want to go to Saga and buy a lot of it 😭 ヤスベェHi, Jay & Nobby 😀.
Maybe Nobby will say it's a bit too sweet and tasty for him, but I think Jay will like it 😀.
I hope you will try it once, maybe next winter... ヤスベェHi Aladdin 😀
I can say that even my husband and I can tell the difference even with our stupid tongues, so the horizontal drinking comparison is very effective 🤣.
If we had drank them individually, we would have ended up with the impression that each one was delicious😅. ヤスベェHello, Sieg Jikon 😀
I can't rely too much on my own opinion or Orin's... but I still think it's different from the Nabe-sama you've had so far, so I hope you'll try it 😀. ヤスベェHi T.KISO 😀 I'm so glad... that someone else feels the same way as us 😀
If I drank only the Tokujun, I would have just thought it was delicious, but since we drank it in a horizontal drinking comparison, even I could tell the difference 😀. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
Unfortunately, NewMoon will have to wait until next winter 🤣.
But if you come to Osaka, Nabeshima-san, I will show you to a store where you can buy a lot of them 😀. ヤスベェFinally, the fourth Nabe-sama is the main part of this drinking comparison 😀.
Today we will be having a particularly famous Nabeshima Purple Nabeshima 😀.
I've had Nabeshima's Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo before, but this is the first time I've had it on draft 😀.
As expected of Purple Nabe-sama's nama-sake: ❤️
It was a rush of sizzle, fruitiness, sweetness, and spiciness 😀.
I compared it with Ihyakuman Nama and Akaban Yumachi Hi-ire, which were opened earlier, and it is amazing that all of them have different tastes, yet they are all Nabeshima 😀.
I'm looking forward to the second day of opening the bottle tomorrow, when the taste will be even more subdued 😀. しぇり〜Hi Yasbae 🙂.
Purple Nabeshima looks delicious! I see that you can buy Nabeshima in Osaka too! ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I haven't actually tried your favorite Purple Nabesama yet 😅I'd like to meet them next time I go there because they look so delicious😊Do the Nabesama change their taste on the second or third day? ヤスベェHi, Shieri 😀
There is a special Nabeshima store on my way to work and there are plenty of them, so you can always buy Nabeshima if you don't choose the right sake 😀. ヤスベェPon, konnichiwa 😀
The sake you can easily get is very different from others 🤣.
Nabeshima has a strong individual flavor, so if you like it, you should drink it right after opening the bottle, but if you like it rounded off, like me, you should drink it after the second day... ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
Purple Nabeshima! It's delicious 🤗 It was one of Nobby's favorites at the time 😋 Nabeshima is available in my neighborhood, so I'll buy some when my current stock is free 😄. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
Mr. Nobby tends to be dry lately, so I don't know if he has it now 🤣.
Mr. Nabeshima is not that special sake if you know where to get it easily 😀. ヤスベェOn the third day of the Nabesama drinking comparison, I will mainly report on the Akaban Omachi fire-brewed Nabesama 😀.
This sake is not as impressive as Tokujun in terms of taste change when heated, nor is it as impressive as Ihyakumangoku when drunk cold, but it is a versatile sake that tastes great both lukewarm and cold 😀.
In a sense, a single bottle of sake that tastes great both warmed and chilled is an amazing existence 😀.
I think the best taste was when I left it in a glass for a while to test it out and let the temperature naturally rise from refrigerator storage temperature to room temperature 😀. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I'm thankful when we're all drinking together that the drink tastes better while we're drinking it out of the fridge: ❣️ ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
Nabeshima is really a great sake 😀.
I've been comparing them and while there is a core of Nabeshima flavor, each one has its own individuality that shines through 😀.
Finally, tonight is the Purple, which has been fire-brewed, but this is my first time to drink it raw 😀. ヤスベェNabesama drinking comparison day 2
Today is the second day of the three bottles opened yesterday 😀.
We compared them with hiya and lukewarm 😀.
First of all, the orange in the hiya tastes as good as it did on the second day of opening 😀.
Jungin Omachi has opened up and tasted better than the first day 😀.
The most surprising thing today was the green special junmai hi-ire 😀.
It tasted so much better when it was heated up ❤️
I would definitely recommend drinking the special junmai hi-ire lukewarm from the first day of opening the bottle 😀.
The orange one is too sour for me when lukewarm due to the fact that it's raw 😅. ポンちゃんHi Yasubeyesan 🐦.
I like Nabesama's Tokusyu, but Hi-iri tastes so much better lukewarm 😳I will definitely do it next time I can buy it 😆👍 ヤスベェHi Pon-chan 😀
Of course Nabesama is delicious no matter how you drink it, but I was impressed by the change in taste when it was heated up 😀.
If you get a chance next time, please try the hiya and the heated version side by side 😀. Rafa papaGood evening Yasube 😃
It's a luxury drinking contest that you can only attempt 🤣Heated sake of special pure 😳⁉️ that's also a rave 🤣I'd like to try it but I wonder when I'll drink Nabeshima next... 🙄. ヤスベェGood evening Rafa papa 😀
I really enjoyed the heated Tokujun 😀 Thankfully there is a shop nearby where I can buy Nabeshima anytime I want it.
Thankfully, there is a store nearby where I can always buy Nabeshima, so from now on, whenever I want to drink sweet heated sake, I want to try Nabesama's Tokujun! ヤスベェNow that Kaorin has recovered, we are going to start a sake drinking comparison that we have been planning for a while 😀.
Last year around this time, when I was just starting to drink sake, I wanted to know how different sake rice tasted 😀 I compared them with Kaze no Mori's 807 series.
It's hard for a beginner to tell the difference unless you actually put them next to each other😅.
This time we prepared 6 bottles of Nabeshima-san's sake rice, different brewing methods, and different raw and hi-ire styles to see if they have grown up a bit since last year 😀.
We started with a special junmai, a junmai ginjo Akaban Omachi, and a junmai ginjo Gohyakumangoku raw 😀.
Today, right after opening the bottle, I found the raw Ihyakumangoku to be the most delicious, with the most fruity taste and aroma 😀.
Tomorrow, I think the other two bottles will probably open up in taste.
I'm looking forward to see how my impression will change 😀.
By the way, Kaorin felt the special junmai was the tastiest and the raw was the heaviest 😅.
Maybe we both still have stupid tastes after a year 🤣. こぞうMr. Yasube.
Good evening...
I'm glad Mrs. Kaorin is recovering 🥰.
A comparison of luxurious pots and pans.
I think it's good that everyone feels differently, not that I have a stupid tongue... ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasbay🦉.
Dreamy project👍✨I'm amazed you managed to collect so many nabes 💕
Maybe you'll get a different impression when you open it 😳I'm looking forward to tomorrow😊🎶. マルGood evening, Yasbay 🌖.
I have a great sense of Nabeshima! 🤣
That's a luxurious drinking experience 👍 great with fun drinks 😊. ジークじこんGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
6 bottles of pots and pans ❣️ is a breathtaking view ✨.
Looks like you and your wife are having fun comparing drinks 😆.
I haven't been able to drink much pots and pans, so I will refer to your review 😊. Rafa papaGood morning Yasbaye 😃
Is this a Nabeshima drinking comparison 😳⁉️ great 🤣If you gain experience from this many drinking comparisons, you will be reborn with a great palate 😁. ヤスベェThank you very much, Kozo-san 😀
It just so happens that there is a store in my area that always has a few different types of Nabeshima for sale at fixed prices, so I was able to collect the sake to compare 😀.
But the wife and I have completely different impressions 🤣. ヤスベェGood morning, Pon 😀
We have a store near here, but it was easy to collect because there are not that many people who buy Nabeshima to go home and they always have a few varieties on hand 😀.
I'll try heating it up today 😀. ヤスベェGood morning, Maru-san 😀
I found a Nabeshima drinking set at an izakaya I often go to, so I decided to copy the plan a little 😀.
I'm lucky to have a place nearby that always has Nabeshima on tap 😀. ヤスベェGood morning, Sieg Jikon 😀.
I guess it seems that the sake that is easy to get is totally different depending on the region or something😅.
But basically, I can only comment on which of these I like best, so I can't be of any help! ヤスベェGood morning, Rafa papa 😀
I'm an amateur who can't tell the difference in taste without comparison drinking 😅.
I'm learning so that one day I can make an accurate evaluation like you 😅 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasubeyesan 😃
Great planning 🤗I've never done a Nabeshima drinking comparison, but I can't wait to see the results, they are all delicious 😋😊. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Of course, the conclusion is that everything is delicious 😀.
This time I'm hoping to restart the lab again so we can test the time changes from opening the bottle and even the different temperatures of heating up the wine 😀. アラジンGood evening Yasube and Kaorin 😃.
I went back to the CI for the Nabeshima drinking contest😄I can't stop drooling over the lineup 🤩 that looks like a store 🤤.
If you get a chance, please try the special honjozo Nabeshima pink, it's also great 🍶. ヤスベェHi Aladdin 😀
Actually, this project was a copycat of a Nabeshima drinking comparison that I used to do at an izakaya I frequent 😅.
I just had 4 bottles of Nabeshima stock that I've been saving little by little 😀.
I haven't seen Nabeshima pink yet, maybe someday. ヤスベェToday is the first day of work😅
I'm sorry to say that this New Year's Day has been full of gloomy news and I have to go straight to work.
Pon-chan said that we should help the consumption of Hokuriku sake, but there is no liquor store open on my way home from work that carries Hokuriku sake😅.
I went home and checked my stock of sake and there was not a single bottle of Hokuriku sake in my stock of over 30 bottles😭.
So I had no choice but to have this Eiko-Fuji today 😀.
It was my first time to drink Eiko-Tomiji at home... the sake tasted really good, but I was a little disappointed in a different way 😅. ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasubeyesan 🌙Thanks for your early work 🙏.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the freshly squeezed Eikofuji! Looks delicious 💕I hope you're not too tired from the first day 😊.
I just happened to be drinking 💦 I'd like to support you from now on too! ヤスベェThe second sake of the New Year was not finished yet, back to the new sake nigori competition 😀.
Hagi no Tsuru Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama Sake 😀
A light lees has accumulated at the bottom of the bottle 😀.
This is my principle, but I stir the lees thoroughly before serving 😀.
I think the toji-san designs and brews the sake with this mixed taste, so I feel sorry for him to drink an incomplete sake 😅.
Of course, I understand the feeling of wanting to drink only the supernatant separately, so I don't mean to deny that way of drinking 😀.
But Hagi no Tsuru's light nigori is very fruity and delicious 😀.
It was especially clear and tasty when the taste cut off nicely after drinking 😀.
It was a great start to the new year's new sake nigori competition 😀. マルYasbay, this is Maru!
Nice to meet you! ヤスベェActually, I moved this October 😀.
It's only a 30 minute walk, but it's still one train line away from where I commute to work, so my living area has completely changed😅.
Thanks to this, Kinoshita in Senri-Chuo, which I used to visit often, changed to Kinoshita Honten in Minami-Senri, and Sake Kozo in Minami-Morimachi changed to Sake Kozo Honten in Miyako-jima 😀.
Surprised to see the different selection between the main store and the branch 😅.
This sake is the first sake I met at Sake Takakura's main store 😀.
Atago no Matsumatsu no Shinshu Ooragarami 😀.
This sake is also unquestionably delicious 😀.
My impression of Atago no Matsumatsu has been destroyed 😀.
By the way, I thought it would be easier to tell the difference in taste between the snowball and the UA snowball that we compared, as the schwarziness would settle down, but the taste got closer than yesterday 😅. ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasubey.
I'm amazed that there are so many nigori out there 😳I'm amazed that you never run out every day and I'm impressed that you write about it every day👍✨.
Yamamoto-san seems to have a better selection in Osaka than in Kyoto😁. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
If I had more room in my fridge, I would have still stocked up on nigori 😅.
It's a pity that I haven't been able to drink Hirotogawa after drinking so many nigori 😭 Rafa papaGood morning Yasube-san 😃
I'm glad Kinoshita-san has more variety in Minami-Senri 😊I sometimes use it because I can go there by bike 😁I drank Atago's pine sara ori garaami last year 😋 It's delicious 😌. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😃
I see from your story that you and I live in almost the same area 😀.
I live near Yamada station and my office is next to Osaka castle 😀.
I would love to have a drink with you if you have a chance 😀. Rafa papaI live in Midori-ji 😊Yamada is within my living area and I roam there from time to time😁I think we are relatively close in age...maybe Yasbaye is older than me 🤔I would like to have a drink with you once 😌. ヤスベェI used to live in Momoyamadai before I moved here, so you were closer 😀.
Rafa, are you on Instagram❓
I'm @yasubei_planets if you want to check it out 😀. Rafa papa

This is a crane drink... 🤣 takeshonGood morning, Rafa 😃.
The Tsuru Chu infection is finally expanding 😆 Shinanotsuru is by far the best raw sake 😋. マナチーRafa, good morning 😃I must have been infected 🤣Shinanotsuru is delicious, but I recommend buying a bottle of it because the price of the 4-goules bottle went up a while ago 🤣. Rafa papaHello takeshon 😃
Takeshon-san has been talking about Tsuru Chu for quite a while now, so I've been curious about it for a long time 😆 Finally I was able to infect myself 🤣This time I'm lucky because it happened to be a draft sake: ✌️ Rafa papaHello Manachie 😃
I'm finally infected 🤣It's really delicious and cosy😊I knew it was good, so of course it's a bottle ✌️ ポンちゃんHi Rafa, ☀️
I see you've been infected by Tsuruchu 〰:COPY00 jealous ❣️ if it's that good I'll buy a bottle too 😆 I wonder if I can find it 😅. boukenHello Rafa 😃
Finally a crane chew infection 🤣.
I see you have Shinanotsuru in Takakura 😳
They also have Kame no Umi and Sawa no Hana and a great selection of Nagano sake 😋. さけランHello Rafa!
I see that it was located at the Sake Takagura!
Did you know that or is it a coincidence?
I'd like to go there next month or so 😅 if you say ...... Rafa papaHi Ponchan 😃
I got crane chew infection 🤣If you find one, go for a bottle 👍I think you can probably finish it in one night...I don't know...🤣 Rafa papaHello bouken😃
I went to Kouzou for the first time😊There are many kinds of Nagano sake👍The purpose of going to Kouzou was to buy Ko-Imari which was recommended by Mr. Gura but it was sold out😭. Rafa papaHello sakelan 😃
I went there after looking it up on instagram 😊Gantaku is a standard sake so I think they might have it anytime 🤔I don't know if it's the raw sake that takeshon is pushing for 😁... つぶちゃんGood evening Rafa 😄!
Congratulations on your Tsuru Chu infection 🤣🙌!
I guess the raw sake is the best ❣️
We got a bottle of Nama too 😉👍.
I'm excited to be infected even more strongly 😆 ♫ T.KISOGood evening Rafa papa😄
I was drinking the same thing 🤣.
Last year, I drank fire-brewed sake and got infected with Tsuru-chu, and this time I drank raw sake and became brain-dead or liver-dead 😇. Rafa papaGood evening, Tsubu 😃.
You got raw 😳⁉️ that's not good... 🤔I don't know about other viruses except raw, but raw is a dramatic 😏 serious illness confirmed 🤣. Rafa papaGood evening T.KISO😃.
Brain death & liver death...☠️ that's pretty serious 😳I guess raw is worse than firebombing 😨 but liver death would be a complication with a disease that was already there 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening Rafa papa 😃.
I knew raw is too delicious and dangerous ⚠️ 😅I still want to try it 😍. Rafa papaGood evening Jay & Nobby😃.
Raw is too good to be dangerous ⚠️ you might want to refrain from it unless you want to be brain & liver dead... ☠️ if you still want to drink it, do so at your own risk... 🤣 ねむちRafa papa, good evening 🌛Another crane chu infected person 🤣Kozo, I'll stop by next time I'm in the area👍. Rafa papaGood evening, Nemuchi 😃.
Tsuruchu is highly infectious 🤣Savior that children and adults who don't drink don't get it 😊Kozo-san had a fascinating selection of products👍Kami was very interested in the pizza shop upstairs 🍕.... Rafa papaAkanesasu Junmai Ginjo Limited Edition
