Do you have any interesting new arrivals? Usagi Shin BLACK that came out in They haven't even opened the bottle yet, so they're not even sure what it tastes like 😏. I myself had my first Boshimaya ✨ I can't smell the aroma clearly because of my stuffy nose lately... I can smell the cool, dignified and slightly sour taste. The fine bubbles on the glass I poured it into got me excited 🆙. The fine bubbles that come out of the glass ✨ are good. The sweetness and thin acidity are refreshing, and the bitterness that lingers afterwards is nice! The alcohol content is 17%, but it is not as alcoholic as I thought it would be, so it is good during a meal. It's 17% alcohol, but it's not as alcoholic as I thought it would be, so it's good while eating.

Thank you for your comment Manabu. I have no vocabulary and have been feeling a bit stuffy lately, so I'm not sure if I can really refer to it. ⚠️ I'm sure it was delicious, so please drink it yourself and let me know what you think of it 😂🙇‍♂️

The proprietress was very eager to recommend the dewy leaf breeze from the forest of the wind. I heard that the 807 was already gone, too bad 😣. I have a few bottles of Kaze no Mori in stock at home, but they probably only had Akitsuho and Yamadanishiki, so go for it! I'll be there 🥳. It was a bit too fresh and had lost the fresh, light, tongue-stabbing attack that it had immediately after the bottle was opened. It is still delicious as a sake, and you can feel the mild sweetness, so it is a good sake that satisfies you even though it does not change much.... After all, Kaze no Mori is easy on the wallet 😭

Risshun Asa Shibori✨This is my third year. This is my third year. The third year I bought the Naruto sea bream Risshun Asa Shibori. Unfortunately, my hometown of Kagawa doesn't seem to have it, so I guess this is all they sell in Shikoku😊. When I went to pick up the sake I had reserved, the sake was stacked in a small area and they were busy preparing labels, novelties, etc. I'm really bowled over by the work that goes into each sake brewery after they pick it up from Kagawa. 🙇‍♂️ You can feel the blessings! The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go to the store and buy a new one, you have to go to the store and buy a new one. They also had Risshun Asa Shibori, so I had a glass of Tsukasa Botan. I drank it the year before last and my impression was that it was "powerful with a sense of blessing", but as I sipped it, it seemed to have mellowed. I was most impressed by the fact that it had mellowed as I drank more and more of it! That was my best impression 😆. This year's Shibobotan has a sweetness that spreads from the first sip, yet it goes down smoothly. It is very easy to drink 😌. It was difficult to explain the calendar and lucky charms to the Korean tourists next door 😣. He was very interested in it and drank it with great interest.

The Risshun Asa Shibori from a brewery in Kumamoto (Kumamoto Shuzo Kenkyujo's Karo) has a similar label. It looks like a good luck charm, doesn't it?

Good morning AAJI-san! I drank the Risshun morning pressing of Karo at a standing bar last year 😊I can't help but feel blessed to think that the brewery is working on this day. The five yen coin decoration is also available at ❤️ 😆.

Hi sibylla₋tks. I see that you also have a version of the incense dew in your drinking establishment. 😮

AAJI Good evening 😌 I don't know if it was available on the day of the event, but there was also a bottle of sake that I drank some years ago that was pressed on the morning of Risshun 😄 I don't know if it was beneficial to me 😑... 😑.

Lastly, I was also attracted by the gorgeous label, so I went for the RoMan. I've had Loman several times, but there are many kinds of Loman, some are ten, some are seven, and some are many others. I don't know how many there are, but I have not had ZEROMAN yet! It's slightly sweet and fruity, with a bit of bitter acidity in the aftertaste. I can't remember what other Romans I've had. My memory is too vague... I guess I need to keep a proper record...

Hi NABE ☺️ I am too envious of the good drinks in my home town! I would love to drink more of the other RoMans, but it's too bad I don't have the chance to meet them.

The peak of the restaurant has passed, and the proprietress asked me, "Have you decided what you want to eat next?" and urges me to do so 😁. I took my time looking at the case and chose Harukasumi by its label! I saw it at a liquor store and wanted to try it 😋. It has a calm atmosphere like a snowy winter, with a softly spread flavor that slowly and delicately finishes. It is a dry sake that has a simple taste but can still be savored, which is good for sipping sake little by little!

It's been a long time since I've seen this work. I remember ordering some of their works last year, but each time I was prevented by their recommendation that "this one is also available".... It's been a while since I've had it, but it's still consistently delicious 😋. It's easy to drink and cuts cleanly, so I reached for it while conversing, and then, oh, no more? I've been drinking it like it's peace of mind water! What a waste 😫.

I saw my neighbor drinking Shinsei from one side to the other, so I opened the bottle and started the New Year's Shinsei myself! We enjoyed the sake together, wondering if it was really sake at all. I hope to drink steadily this year too! I'm looking forward to drinking it consistently this year 😆.

Yamamoto Nodo was recommended along with the rice wine! The eye-catching "Do" label makes a big impact on the pure white bottle 😁. The store was full and the proprietress seemed busy on her own, but after carefully opening the bottle... As I opened the bottle carefully.... It was a bit gassy, but it was lighter and drier than I had imagined! Although it has a fluffy sweet aroma of rice, the gap between the appearance and the taste makes it easy to drink, It is drinkable, but my companion drank more than half of it😓.

I visited Kotokosan on the last day of the year, but I saw the arrival of Tasake in front of me, so I dashed to the opening of the new year! We were almost fully booked, but we were able to squeeze in a table! I finally got the zodiac sign label of Tasake that I had been waiting for a week 😂. It's been a while since I've had Tasake, but it's very fresh and clearer than the Tokujun I had at Kotokosan! The labels are well made and it's fun just to look at the labels. The label was well made and it was fun just to look at the label, It was a happy sake that made me feel that way 😋.

It has a very clean and smooth taste with a hint of orikara. The sweetness and umami of the rice was well balanced and very tasty, although it had a thin line! While we were drinking, a delivery arrived and the zodiac label of Tasake was in stock, but the bottle will not be opened until next year, so we promised ourselves that we would visit the next store early next year. Thank you again for your help this year!

Since it was the last day of the event and we couldn't keep them until after the new year, we were served all the rest 😊. I thought so the last time I drank it, but it seems to be easier to drink than I imagined. Less acidity and more sweetness. It's a very useful item that is kept in a stable supply.

I heard it was the last day of the year, so I visited the restaurant before the year-end party to finish off this year's Shinsei drinking. Unfortunately, Nilgame-san was gone early, so I felt like I was already in the usual mood. It really is a little different from other sake every time I drink it.

This is also the recommended Denshin Nama Sake 😛. In contrast to the Yo-no-Tori we had earlier, the freshness and crispness of the nama-zake made us want to drink it in gulps. I was intrigued by the fact that this was my first experience with Hashira shochu, but the person drinking next to me seemed to know what it was and explained it to me. It is brewed by adding homemade shochu, and I think I now understand why it is so sharp and refreshing with a full-bodied flavor. The snowman that appears when you open the bottle is also cute. I wonder if it is related to the snowman!

It's been quite a while since I had a drink at Yonotori 😃. I remember it was delicious, but I think I was hesitant to drink it because it was a kijo sake. I should update my memory of the sake, "Isn't it juice? It's still delicious, but if I had it at home, I'd probably choose the occasion to drink it.

Next was Houou Mita Hatsushibori😚 which was recommended to us. Compared to other Hououmida wines I've had, this one was very easy to drink! Fruity, sweet and delicious, but fresh and light with no heaviness and a lingering aftertaste! The new sake is delicious!

I haven't been able to buy a snowman yet! A day ago, Kotoko-san notified me of its arrival, so I came here for a drink while running errands. I heard that a bottle was available yesterday, so I asked him about it and he told me that he had opened the bottle with great care yesterday 😆. It was smooth on the palate with lees mixed in! It is so smooth on the palate with a light snow-like appearance that you would think it would disappear just like that. The aroma was not so strong, and the sweetness was moderate, so I tasted a little bit, And while I was doing that, it was over. This time, I will welcome it to my house and taste it.

Lastly, we have Miyasaka, which has recently become a staple at the restaurant. I thought it might be a bit heavy, but it is also very clear and easy to drink. It is also clear and easy to drink. It was not as sweet as I expected, and the moderate acidity and slight bitterness made it very easy to drink! The sake brewer is very enthusiastic about it and says it will be available all year round, so we expect to see a different rice variety as well. I was envious of the proprietress, who drank some of the sake we had compared, but she told me about a Sake Day event nearby, so I had to leave for today.

I was thinking about what to drink, when I heard the restaurant's recommendation, so I went for my first Shichibonshiryari. It was a Shichibonshiryari with a classical label, not the one with the logo I usually see, but it was a little light and easy to drink. The alcohol content was normal, but it was very elegant. It has a deep flavor, but the clarity of the taste is very mysterious.
