Timeline
付喪神Continuing on the high road, "Jikin" 🍶 but it's getting expensive 😳 If it's getting so expensive, I should have applied for the lottery notice I got from the liquor store😅.
It's Junmai with 50% polished rice. But there is no indication of specific name. Why?
It has a soft umami taste on the palate, then the acidity cuts through the umami and it finishes with a wonderful sharpness.
I wonder if the sweetness could be a little stronger. 付喪神There was a bottle of Aki-Agarai that I hadn't had yet, so I ordered it. It is a royal Yamagata Masamune🍶.
The aroma is gorgeous and full, reminiscent of melon and ripe pears. It has a mellow and thick mouthfeel. The flavor and richness of the rice wraps around your tongue 😋.
You can drink it with peace of mind. 付喪神The fourth bottle is a collaboration project between Aihara Shuzo, which brews "Amego no Tsuki" and Mochizuki Shoten in Chiba Prefecture🍶 I heard that yellow and green were newly added from this 2025, so this white label is the basic one?
Pale and clear color with a fruity aroma reminiscent of green apples and white peaches. Mmmm, it is sweet. The first sip is just as sweet as it should be. After that, moderate acidity and a fresh, lively sensation unique to nama-shu envelopes the tongue, and the taste is light, clear, and calm.
It was a delicious sake, but the sweetness was bothersome. I would like to try a green sake that is more classic. 付喪神The third bottle of the day was the autumn limited edition "Ota-no-Tani" (🍶).
The balance between the rich sweetness derived from the raw material rice "Watanobune" and the acidity that supports it. The harmony of this sweetness and acidity is accompanied by a minerality that fills the mouth with flavor 😋.
The other specs of this sake made me curious 🍶. 付喪神Fuji Taikan, a locally distributed brand that was a favorite of Yokoyama Taikan. It is a new sake. It is the first new sake of R07BY, and it is reminiscent of green apple and young melon.
Fruity aroma reminiscent of green apple and young melon. The rich umami from the Yamada-Nishiki sake is spread out while the fresh acidity of the unpasteurized sake keeps the whole thing tight and light. The lingering finish is short but refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and a pleasant sharpness.
I was reminded once again that dry sake is best with sashimi. 付喪神When I informed him that I would be in Nara from 10/26, an old colleague of mine set it up for me.
I chose "Matsuo Jiman -Re:make-" by Kangiku Meikozo, which brews Sono Kangiku from a variety of local limited edition sake.
The fruity aroma and smooth mouthfeel was followed by a floral spread of concentrated rice flavor and a gentle sweetness.
I think it has been a while since I had a sake with such a soft taste in my mouth. I drank a variety of sake, but this was today's number one. ☝️ 付喪神Today's last 🍶
Ten years old secret sake 😋.
The color is clear.
Soft mouthfeel that doesn't give the impression of old sake. Sweetness with a hint of old sake at the end of the swallow 😋.
Personally, it is today's first prize 🏆.
But still, I drank and ate a lot. I wonder if my blood test today will be ok😅.
I'm afraid they'll say "there's alcohol flowing through your body" 😅 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Mr. Mourning God 😃.
You really drank a lot of things well 😋, eh! I guess your blood test is going to be flowing today ⁉️ 😆. 付喪神Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🍶.
When I go to Ruyi, I order from one side to the other, and the store staff offers me off-menu drinks.... It's my usual pattern😅.
Don't tell me they can't check my blood alcohol level... 😬. 付喪神Ninth one 🍶.
I couldn't get a picture of the Koei Kiku, so I passed.
I heard it became very hard to stock as a result of the increase in the number of four-pack bottles 😭.
I wonder if there will be fewer opportunities to drink it. Too bad 😢 付喪神Seventh bottle 🍶.
Crisp and dry. It is crisp and dry, with a hint of umami. Delicious, but I prefer the sweet and tasty Yokoyama 😋. 付喪神The sixth bottle 🍶
This sake is not on the menu, but they have Shinmasa. I don't like it very much to begin with, but I chose it because it is a rare H-type sake.
It is delicious, but I still don't like it. Maybe it's the acidity that's not my favorite. Maybe it's because the sourness of the first Flax Cat I drank had too much impact.
I can't...can't...can't. I'm stuck in the past😅 付喪神Fifth bottle 🍶.
Although not labeled sparkling, it had a strong fizziness and a winey acidity that I personally don't like. It was a delicious sake that matched those who liked it so much that some people even recommended it as today's first prize 😋.
Hmmm? Was the strong fizziness a different sake? 付喪神The fourth one 🍶.
I passed on the third bottle of treasured sword because I couldn't take a picture 😅.
Not stuck in the past
Don't get caught up in the future
Just drink well in the present 付喪神The second bottle was my first sake 🍶.
The taste was forgettable😅.
I guess it wasn't a memorable taste....
I don't have any bad memories, so I'm sure I enjoyed it 😋. 
付喪神Whenever I go back to Nara, my friend always arranges a table for me 🍶 I chose an imported Otters sake for the first bottle. This one is Type 50, a Junmai Daiginjo with the specs of Yamadanishiki. The rice is Japanese.
It is a clear sake. It is also low in alcohol, so it is light and easy to drink. I think Americans would drink it in large gulps.
It was so delicious that some people chose it as today's first prize 😋. 麺酒王Hello, Attached Mourning God 😃.
It's great to have drinks with your friends on your homecoming ✨.
You're drinking like crazy by the way 😲. 付喪神Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 🍶.
We are friends who tour sake breweries, castles, and attend sake events. That's right, we drink 😅 but we all share, so each of us has about 2 gou of sake in all 😋 Not much 🤭. ひるぺこGood evening, Mr. Tsukemogami. Otter Blue is such a delicious sake. It's amazing that you can brew in the US and still maintain the Otters quality👍Drinking good sake with friends back home! I can't resist 😆🍶. 付喪神Good evening, Hirupeko🍶.
This sake Otters🤭 was a delicious sake. Now it is Yamada Nishiki from Japan, but they started growing Yamada Nishiki in the US. I am looking forward to a pure American grown Otter 😊.

Lightly gassy and refreshing finish. BlackyGreat! I'm so proud of you! I was shouting again (^^)
The mouthfeel is fruity, with the sweetness of the rice and a refreshingly clean acidity in the aftertaste. マコスケOh... "Kinjaku Hisho" is very intoxicating!
I can't buy it for myself very often.
But I buy it when I feel good. BlackyIt was a little expensive, but really tasty. I ordered it because I heard from the store that it was hard to find. HanaabiTHE PREMIUM おりがらみ純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 BlackyThe palate has a wonderful fruity sweetness and gorgeous aroma, and the aftertaste is clean with a lingering acidity. BlackyThe palate is exquisitely fruity, sweet and sour with a refreshing gasiness. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
