bouken🎊Kansai Sake no Wa 🎊GRA san Visits Osaka Off-line Meeting🎊
The 0th party was going to be at Asano Sake Shop, but it was very crowded because of SENKYO Fair, so we went to Niigata for Kome.
The 0th party was
Pon-chan
Rafa papa
Nemuchi-san
Mr. Gula
myself
The five of us
It was more crowded than usual, but we could get in just in time 😅.
I was worried because I was bound to drink Niigata sake, but I found Nechiozan which I hadn't tasted yet!
I've never seen this before except at Bic Camera in Namba 🤣.
There's a commercial sake store in Amagasaki that carries it, so there's a place near me where I can drink it, but... 🤔.
Nemuchi told me where to find it 😊I'd love to try some raw sake!
It's not spicy, but it's well balanced and has an honorable taste? I think it's a food sake type.
Sorry for the rough impression 😅
The entrées are all Niigata specialties such as Tochio deep-fried tofu and kanzuri, which is very interesting! 遥瑛チチHello bouken evangelist 😃.
My Gura-chan has been a great help to us: ❗️
Is the venue a local izakaya in Niigata❓
It looks like a nice place👍. ポンちゃんHello bouken😊
I'm so glad you could join us! I'm so glad you made it to the meeting so early 🙏I'm so glad you made it in 👍I'm so glad this drink was so rare 😳I guess I should've drank it 😅. boukenGood evening, Chichi 😃.
Mr. Gura was easy to talk to and a very nice person 🤗.
No wonder he is loved in Fukuoka 😆.
It's a standing bar with an antenna store 🍶.
After this we headed to the main venue 🏃. boukenGood evening, Ponchan 😃
I love every offline meeting 😆 It goes by so fast and I can only vaguely remember what we talked about 🤣.
I don't know if this is rare or not just because I didn't know where to find it 🤔. boukenBought it for a moment with Rusty Cat Rock. Also got Funaguchi Smoked incense!
It has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a sweetness with a tangy flavor and a spiciness that is very strong. Much tastier than I expected. サビ猫ロック赤サビ たかね錦 無濾過瓶火入53℃特別純米無濾過 boukenIt's a jacket purchase 😁.
An alternative special junmai sake dedicated to all those who love cats, music and sake. It's a special alternative junmai sake dedicated to all those who love cats, music, and sake.
The rice is Takananishiki.
The taste is fresh and slightly effervescent, as if the sake has been carefully fired.
It has sweetness, but the second half is astringent and spicy. It is like adding bitterness to melon or muscat.
It seems to be released on Cat's Day every year, so I hope to get a bottle next year 😽.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal rescue 🐱. ルテルテミbouken-san . Hello 😃
If I find this, I will definitely buy it.
I was reading Inomata Shuzo as Nekomata Shuzo in a daze 😂. boukenGood evening Mr. Luteltemi 😃.
I was almost blinded by the many sake lined up, but then I saw the cat 😻 and bought one without thinking 😁.
Nekomata 😸I'm sure I'm going to be blind 🤣. るるちゃんDon't think of it as sake 😂.
Hazelnut?
Yes!
Only if it's stored in bourbon barrels!
There are other types of sake as well, such as [stored in whiskey casks] and [stored in brandy casks].
There are also some ❣️
Interesting ❣️ boukenIt's Niigata sake again😅.
It's been a long time since I've seen Imadaiji. I used to visit Asano Sake Shop, but I haven't seen them recently.
It seems to be a brewery near Niigata station.
It has a smooth mouthfeel and a gentle sweetness. Less fruity than expected. Good balance of sweet and spicy. It seems to go well with meals.
Nutty and graininess.
When drinking it again, there is a strong gap between the sweetness and the spiciness. The sweetness is firmly sweet, but the spiciness is also gutsy and pungent.
Raising the temperature increases the sweetness.
I went to buy Tsushimaya at a liquor store far away from my house at the end of the year, but I forgot there was a special distributor in Kawanishi 😅this one was closer to my house... boukenNiigata at Kome. I saw it for the first time.
It has a nice aroma. The aroma is mellow, with a hint of sweetness and a spiciness at the end.
I think it is basically dry, but I like it because it is sweet and tasty, and the acidity finishes it off.
There used to be a local commercial for it in Niigata. Rafa papaGood evening, bouken😃.
I've never seen this alcohol before😳I'm learning a lot about the alcohol you've been drinking lately bouken because I don't know many of them😊Okome also has a wide variety of alcohol 👍🤣‼️ boukenGood evening Rafa 😃
Antenna stores are very helpful because they have sake that no special distributor has 😊I can usually find brewed forests here 😁. 寿梨庵Good morning, bouken😊.
I love your well and I'm guessing.
Please try again♪ boukenJuryan, good evening 😃
I was curious about the Keishin you were drinking 😊.
I don't think I'll come across it often, but I'd like to try it again 😁. 兎御殿At Niigata wo Kome
Comparison of 3 kinds of sake
All of them are new to me 🐰🎶.
Niigata is the image of dry junmai sake ✨
It is the holy land of Gohyakumangoku sake rice!
The first one is a junmai sake with an alc of 18% and a milling ratio of 60%!
It has a refreshing taste with a softness of rice in the mouth and is very drinkable!
Simple is the best ✨, the royal road of sake! 兎御殿After a long night of Go Around Osaka, I woke up late at a hotel in Shinsaibashi 🐰.
I went to Niigata, which was recommended by Rafa and Umaïsan 🎶.
And my first ✨Midorikawa✨!
I've been wanting to try this sake since I saw it in a book💕.
I didn't realize how popular it was for a plain Junmai sake.
Uitatekou has a gentle rice aroma.
The sweetness of the rice spreads gently and elegantly in the mouth 😍.
It's not outstanding in any way, it's like a spring breeze caressing a meadow ✨.
I think I could drink it endlessly if I made it a food sake 🙂.
Midorikawa✨I'd love to try a variety 💕 うまいうまいRabbit 🐰, again 😄
Green River Green, highly recommended👍✨
It's only available for a limited time, so expect to see it next season❣️ autokSake from Niigata and Nagaoka will follow.
We will have it in a handy 300ml.
I am sure I have had it before, but this time, the first sip was especially "spicy!
This time, I thought it was especially spicy at first sip. I thought, "It's spicy!
However, I can't rely on my taste buds, so just for reference...
As I am sure is well known to everyone, there are 16 sake breweries in Nagaoka.
Is it the benefit of the Shinano River, which is the largest river in Japan?
I would like to visit them, but I cannot visit all of them in the short time I have for sightseeing...
I don't remember what I bought at the Ponshu-kan in Nagaoka Station before, but I remember that I was wondering what to buy.
Nagaoka was heavily damaged in the Boshin War (Hokuetsu War).
Compared to the Aizu War, the Hokuetsu War seems to be less known.
However, some of you may have seen the movie "Touge" (Mountain Pass), which is based on Tsugunosuke Kawai, who fought with a Gatling gun to protect Nagaoka, and was released this year.
I will visit both places next time I visit Yoshinogawa, as there is a place about 10 minutes by car from the museum where Tsugunosuke Kawai made his decision to start the war.
Spicy! But delicious.
Shinano River, Tsugunosuke Kawai, and the Hokuetsu War
The reasonably sized bottle was quickly emptied as we reminisced. autokSake that travels through the four seasons: Fireworks in Nagaoka
Sake Brewer in Nagaoka, Niigata.
I was attracted by the package design and bought it.
The "Tabineko" by Toshinori Mori, who lives in Nagaoka
series labeled sake.
It is cute.
Fireworks" are the most striking feature of this series.
Nagaoka is famous for fireworks.
Personally, I don't actively think about going to see fireworks, so I haven't gone to see the fireworks in Nagaoka either...
The fireworks in Nagaoka are set off on the day after August 1, the day after the Nagaoka air raid, as a memorial to the victims of the war and to pray for postwar reconstruction.
When I was in Nagaoka about 4 years ago.
I realized once again that Nagaoka had suffered great damage from the Boshin War and the air raids of the Pacific War.
The brewery with this cute label is located
The brewery with the cute label is located a little south of Nagaoka and did not suffer from the war damage, but the brewery was destroyed by the Chuetsu Earthquake in 2004.
Nagaoka has recovered despite the harsh conditions.
Behind the cute label, you can feel both loneliness and strength.
The sake is also full of flavor, and I took my time to enjoy it.
Gulp! 
autokA slightly different kind of drink...
Correct.
It's not that the sake is unusual.
It's not that the sake is unusual, but that the package is unusual.
Purchased at a store of Niigata products.
GO SPADE (POCKET) Junmai-shu
What a surprise!
Hot water boiling OK, freezing OK
Microwave heating is not allowed.
Please warm it in hot water for about 1 minute without boiling (high temperature will cause the bag to expand). (The bag will expand at high temperatures.)"
This container is easy to take camping or barbecue.
You can even sneak it into a crack in your luggage...
There seem to be various sake versions (7 kinds), but I chose the Junmai (sharp and dry).
I transferred it to a cup at home...
Ah, 100ml.
About 0.6 gou. It's really just a sip.
I didn't even have time to remember that it was Niigata sake.
It kind of felt like an event to drink it, and it was enjoyable.
Maybe next time I will enjoy several kinds side by side?
Even if I drink two kinds of sake, it is only a little bit more than one cup.
It is fun to compare two different kinds of sake.
Rice polishing ratio: 60% Volume: 100ml Alcohol content: 15.5
Producer: Tsunan Jozo Co. boukenI was curious about the sake that Shang Shu KANON was drinking.
It was sweeter and more fruity than I expected. It is light and easy to drink, and has a weak sake taste.
It tastes somewhat like Blue Hawaii.
According to the official website, the rice is Takananishiki.
Along with this sake, I bought some Ego, which I learned about from Hiraccio's post, at an antenna store!
It was delicious, with a texture like agar or trokoten 😀. ヒラッチョGood evening, bouken 😀.
So this is the Niigata antenna store in Umeda that you saw in Shinjo's post👍.
Ego (igo) is austere, 😅👍
Agar, tokoroten maybe ❗️. boukenHiraccio, good evening 😃
Shinjo-san, you purchased the crane friend here 😊Ego has two kinds of egos and I chose the one with spicy vinegared miso. It was even better than I expected 😁. しんじょうGood morning.
How can you remember such a thing?
It's a small place and I'm too scared to go there now, but it's a nice place.
The rare sake is for Mr. Bouken, and the regular sake and honjozo sake are versatile enough for me!
boukenShinjo, good morning!
That store is very small😅especially the sake section.... It's fun just to look at the wide range of sake they carry, from the popular ones to the regular ones for the locals 😊. Rafa papaKozusumori Junmai Daiginjo Nama
The Junmai Ginjo from Kozumori that I sent to my wife on White Day was a big hit ✌️.
So I got a Daiginjo for our wedding anniversary (3/22) 🎁.
He likes it so much he won't open the bottle 🥰.
It seems he opened the bottle by himself when I was away the day before yesterday because I had a drinking party 😅...
The bottle spilled as soon as it was opened💦.
Good to know you are in good spirits👍️.
I asked him to let me drink it yesterday and he only gave me a cup 😭
It tastes like strawberry milk 🍓🐄.
I'd rather pair it with a stand alone or dessert🍰 than a meal🥰.
But still, only one glass... 🥲.
Well, if you like it, good for you... 🤣 ポンちゃんHappy wedding anniversary, Rafa papa 🎉💐.
One bottle opened, one cup of sake, I'm not going to give it to you 🤣 That's how happy you are, that means it's a great success! Rafa papaGood morning, Pon 😃.
Our wedding anniversary is March 22 😅.
I've been dragging it all this time and when I finally opened it, it was only a cup of boar's mouth 😭
Don't you think they should let us drink a little more⁉️🤣. ポンちゃんSorry 🙏 You were celebrated with a new policy. Forgive me 💦 I know you've been waiting for this, I'll have to repeat it for papa 😆. Rafa papaPonchan, I'm sorry too 🙇♀️.
The sentence was a bit confusing 😅 遥瑛チチHi Rafa papa😃
Jun Daigin went too ❗️
Only one boar cup, ma'am... 😁 えりりんHello Rafa papa (**)))
It's hard to open a favorite!
I vote for your wife 😁.
But a cup full of boar's mouth........
You're good at it 😆. Rafa papaHello Haruei Chichi 😃
A cupful of boar is terrible⁉️
But really, he's just being nice😄.
I think... maybe 😅 Rafa papaErin Hello 😃
My wife is the type of person who eats what she likes first, but she has a hard time opening this drink, and even after she does, she drinks it in small sips 😆.
If you let me drink a lot I would buy a lot to take home 🤣. hondaGood evening, Rafa papa.
I think you mean only one cup of sake, right?
If so, well, you've done a good job, ma'am 🤣. Rafa papaGood morning, honda 😃.
I drank Kouei Kiku and Sentori😅
If the only sake I could drink that day was a cup of brewed forest, I would have kicked my wife 👹 out of the house... 😤.
No...I'm running away from home 😭 ましゃGood morning Rafa ☀️
Happy wedding anniversary ㊗️
I really envy Mr. and Mrs. Rafa for being able to exchange such an exchange over drinks as they do every time 🤣. Rafa papaHello Masha 😃
If you're drinking alone, I'm surprised at how much you're drinking 😳
How much do you drink every day⁉️🤣 ましゃGood morning Rafa ☀️About 2 cups of coffee every day 😁.
Once a week on Monday is my day off 😜.
My son has been drinking a lot lately, so it's been a good circulation in the fridge 🤣. Rafa papaMasha-san, are you really 2 gos.
I feel like I'm drinking more than that 🤔
In any case, it's a far cry from my one boar cup 🤣😭 Rafa papakamosu mori Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
It's White Day❣️
I bought this for my wife, who has been giving me a lot of trouble.
I'm sure I'll be told that it's because I want to drink it myself 😅.
As a result, my wife is very satisfied with the ministry.
Good ✌️😆 遥瑛チチGood evening, Rafa papa 🌇.
Glad to hear your wife is in a good mood 😁.
I don't know that there are that many people who wouldn't be happy to drink this 🤣. Rafa papa
Good morning, Haruei Chichi 😃.
I'm not trying to put you in a good mood, I'm trying to love you 💕.
Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi😘.
Well, I'm glad you're in a better mood after the ambulance ride and all the trouble you caused😅.
That's how good the drink is 🤤. hondaHello Rafa papa ☀️
I envy you for being in a good mood in the brewing forest👍️
My wife is the type that escalates when she gets alcoholic🤣. Rafa papa
honda, good evening 😃.
Escalating might be easier to figure out🤔.
I thought I put you in a good mood, but you really meant it... 😳
I'm too scared to ask😭 boukenIt says "nigori" in the bottle, but it's only a light nigori or origarashi. It's a bit sweeter than most Midorikawa I've had. It's a type that explodes with the flavor of rice. The acidity is strong.
I wrote that it is sweet, but it is basically spicy. I wrote that it is sweet, but it is basically spicy.
It's not really my favorite type. boukenIt's easier to drink after a few days than freshly opened. boukenIt seems to be the smallest brewery in Niigata. According to the internet information, the brewery will be closed in the current generation.
According to the information on the back label, the brewery outsources the brewing to Hara Shuzo of Koshi no Homare and doesn't brew its own sake. It's very refreshing, and although it's an aluzoe, I don't mind it. It's a common type of slightly sweet honjozo. It's good even if it's a consignment brew. The taste of the rice is amazing! boukenGood evening, Mr. Mountain😊.
I put it quietly on the edge of the shelf. I found it at an antenna shop in Umeda, Osaka. I found it at an antenna shop in Umeda, Osaka. I've been looking for Niigata sake here for a while now. boukenThey had a 4-gallon bottle, so I bought some Junmai Ginjo.
It is slightly foamy and lightly nigori. It's a little more reserved than Jun-Dai, but it has a solid fruity sweet flavor. It's like a Yakult with soda. It has a richness like a fruit wine. It has a little bit of strawberry milk.
It's a bit expensive, but I think I prefer the Pina Pina Junmai Daiginjo.
These were my impressions on the first day, but maybe my taste buds were bugged? When I drank it later, I found it to be very rich and sweet, but a bit dull. It is like Miyoshikiku. boukenAccording to the official website and the liquor store's website, it's an unfiltered, unpasteurized, unpasteurized sake. 酒豪Good evening!
Jyosu Mori is good.
I'd like to try it, but
I'd like to try it, but I can't seem to find a store near me that carries it, so I'm stuck😂. boukenGood evening, Mr. Drunkard 🌉
I don't find it in liquor stores myself, I buy it in antenna shops😅. boukenI've been sober for a few days, but I've lifted the ban.
Is it the limited sake prepared for the Niigata Sake Festival?
The usual brand is called "Tenjinbayashi". It has a juicy and rich sweet taste. It has a sweet taste that is not like Niigata sake. It is not fruity and the aroma is a bit quirky. It may be different for each taste.
It is sweet, but it has a chunky sweetness... まりぽんぬHello bouken, good evening ⭐️.
Welcome back 🤗 Did you have no problems?
It's sweet and delicious, which is unusual for Niigata sake 😕 It has a slightly higher alu content, which seems to work 😆. boukenMariponu-san 🌃Good evening 🌃I'm back😁.
Blood test results are due in a month but everything else was fine😊.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks and I'll be back in a couple of weeks. boukenThis brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen...
It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness. まりぽんぬHello bouken 🐣
I'm sure there are other warehouses that are quietly shutting down after this long... I just hope it ends soon🙏. boukenHi Maripornu 🌧.
A brewery that only sells directly to the public and has no website or social network won't even notice if it suddenly disappears😢. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
