It's been a while since I've posted ^ ^
I've been sick since the day after I last posted, and I haven't recovered from a cold for a month 😓I've never had one that lasted this long. My tonsils got infected, I had a fungus in my throat, it was really tough 😱.
I've been sober for a while and resumed drinking 🥹 for a long time.
Well, I opened a bottle of stock from 6 months ago. This is the first Sentori since Kabutomushi.
I shook the lees a little and when I opened it, it blew up. It is a pretty intense sake.
The taste is not so noticeable due to the strong schwash 🤔It is refreshingly sweet and tasty. The snacks were yakitori, sashimi, chikuzen-ni and boiled spinach.
I have hardly had a day off since April😭I will get a compensatory day off next week, so I will be resting my bones in Kamakura🍶♨️

Hi ellie, good evening.
I'm sorry to hear you've been sick 💧.
I too had a fever last week for the first time in several years 😖💦.
It sounds like you had a hard day at work and I hope you have a relaxing drinking time next week🍀.
Japanese>English
ellie
Hi ma-ki-😃
Thank you for your concern 😊
The taste of alcohol can change depending on your condition.
Next week I will be excited to stay at a nice inn in Kamakura so I will drink some good sake!

Hi ellie 😃.
I didn't think it would be up for a while 🥲It was tough 😫 but if your return sake is Sentori first tank series, you'll be fine👍I'm glad you didn't run rough 😅I hope you're relaxing in Kamakura 👋.

Hi Jay & Novi😃.
Thank you for your concern 😊.
Thanks to you, I've accumulated a lot of alcohol in my fridge 😓.
Next week we will enjoy the sake of Kanagawa!

Hi Pon 😃
When you're sick, your drinks don't taste so good 😭.
I'm looking forward to see what Kanagawa sake I will drink next week!

I had a good thing today, so I'm opening the bottle even though it's a weekday 😆.
I drank the red label last year and didn't like it much.... But I bought this one because it was cloudy.
The overall flavor is similar to the red label, but I like the slight sourness that stands out 😋.
I also feel the heat that is typical of sake when it goes down my throat.
This one is good 🤔.
I paired it with hapoho chai and fried beef hormone and karaage from Matsuno butcher store.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Good evening ellie 😃.
It's good to have a reason to drink 😆.
At home, I'm probably more likely to be desperate to find a reason to drink 🤣 Happosai and hormone! Sounds like it would be good for Ayrai 😋.
Japanese>English
ellie
Good evening Jay & Novi 😁.
Well, I drink when I have a bad day, so I drink either way lol.
This sake went really well with the hormones 🐃I like the dark flavored snacks!

I recently purchased a large quantity of new sake, these are the standard popular sakes.
This time I opened this bottle😋 and drank Akabu for the first time.
It has a watery mouthfeel with a refreshing acidity. It is not so sharp, so I thought it was really easy to drink. It is light, so you can drink it even on weekdays.
I had it with pork hot pot with tonkotsu (pork bone) soup.
Now, let's open a bottle for the New Year's holiday 😁.
Japanese>English
ellie
Opened this bottle as the guard breaker was available 😊.
I bought this one a year ago. That time was when I discovered Yokozeki and Mishimaya Sake Shop, and I had been looking at so many different kinds of sake that I had forgotten a ton of them ∑.
Taste...
Moderately dry, it tastes like water in the mouth at first. The sharpness and umami of sake comes at the same time as it goes down your throat. Easy to pair with meals 😋.
Sashimi of tuna and yellowtail as a side dish.
I wonder how it will taste when it is heated up!
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Good evening, ellie 😃.
It's the perfect sake for sashimi 🤗I think it's delicious 😋 even warmed up!
Fuji 🗻! It's even more beautiful with a different angle of view 🥹.
Japanese>English
えりりん
ellie *˙hahayo*!
I'm curious about the heated sake 💭👀✨
I've heard that even if you bought it a long time ago, it doesn't taste much different if it's stored well 😊.
I have a 3 year old one in my fridge 🍶´-
☀️Mt Fuji 🗻 pretty ✨️✨️
Japanese>English
ellie
Good evening Jay & Novi ^ ^
When it gets a little colder, I'll try heating up the sake. ❗️ I've been commenting more on Fuji than sake lately🤣I'll try to upload more stuff in the future.
Japanese>English
ellie
Good evening Eirin 😁It was kept at 10 degrees all along so it looks fine 🙆♀️
Isn't it already old wine if it's 3 years old?
Fuji has been well received so I will list the various paintings 😊.

It looks like summer is finally over. I heard that the hot weather will last until this week, so I have to open a summer bottle 😠.
I was attracted to something called "white koji brewing" and bought it out of curiosity. When I looked it up, I found out that white koji brews sourness. I wanted to try a white koji once since Niimasa is famous for it 🧐.
Taste...
The acidity stands up, but it is not sweet. I've only had acid + sweet before, so it's a new taste for me 😋 The sake feeling comes afterwards. Easy to drink but not crazy light 🤔.
I'd like to open a sweet one next time since I'm out of rainfall.
The snacks were claypot meat and soba noodles from Watanabe Seimen, given to me by a relative.
Japanese>English
ellie
Yesterday, I had a Shizuoka Branch alumni meeting of my university and drank Garyubai, but I forgot to take a picture. I was having too much fun.
Now, the hot days are still continuing. I bought this sake casually sometime ago. I opened it to cool off.
It tastes good, but it has almost no sake feeling 😆 or rather, it doesn't feel like sake.
The lemon acidity is nice, but I felt it was a bit sweet, so I had it on the rocks and enjoyed it.
Japanese>English
ellie
This is a bottle of Kabutomushi that I bought when I bought the bottle of Kabutomushi. I have some souvenirs from Yamanashi, but it was kind of hot, so I opened the bottle thinking I wanted something sparkling. I was looking for something light and cloudy with a good effervescence.
Sengame's Karukubaru was too heavy for me, but this one was fine 😆.
It has a sweet taste in the mouth, and it is not too much on the nose, so you can drink more and more of it! It is sweet at first but has a slightly dry aftertaste. I think it is a good sake for summer. The price was a little high because it is a daiginjo.
I paired it with fried lebanila, but it would go well with any dish.
It takes three weeks to empty a four-pack, but the fizz doesn't keep that long...
Japanese>English
ellie
Kabuto, this is my second submission. The first bottle was a gift, this one is for myself. It's a reward for a job well done this week 😆 It's my recent routine to open a bottle after a hard day's work.
No, it's delicious 😋.
It is crisp while retaining the unique flavor of sake. The acidity is nice! It seems to go well with any snacks.
I bought it on Maru's recommendation and it was the right decision ^ ^.
I usually don't drink even one cup of sake, but I drink too much 😵🍺.
The entrée is sauteed with olives and garlic. I bought black garlic because it was cheap, but I didn't know what to do with it, so I put it here 💧.
Japanese>English

Hi ellie, good evening.
Thanks for all your hard work this week 😊.
Opening the bottle after getting through work! I understand!
It's a nice change of pace 🍶.
Your pictures of the mountains are beautiful✨.
Japanese>English
ellie
Hello ma-ki-😃
Sake in the midst of exhaustion is a sinking feeling 😌.
The mountain is Mt Fuji that I can see from my house but the power lines are in the way 😅.
Japanese>English
ellie
I would love to drink it, but it's not mine 😀.
It's for gifts.
They also sold a bottle of sake.
I wasn't sure which sake to give as a gift, but I decided on this one when I saw it was posted a lot on sakénawa and learned it was on sale.
I think I'll buy some for myself too....
Japanese>English

Good evening, ellie 🌔.
I think the recipient will be very happy.
I'm sure they will be very happy to receive it 🙂 I bought one myself 😄.
I bought one too 😆.
I hope ellie-san will drink it too ‼️

Good evening, Maru-san 😆.
I see that Sake-no-wa is very busy with Kabutomushi.
I was wondering if I should buy two bottles, but I don't have space in my fridge and I'm about to drink Tasake and Sanko....
I haven't had a bottle myself yet 😂.
Japanese>English
ellie
Maru, I got another bottle for myself 😁.
I'm looking forward to drinking it ❗️

I forgot to upload this.
I've been buying a lot of Hiran recently.
After drinking it, I noticed the label on the back of the bottle. It's like a fruity sweet and sour adult juice with 14% alcohol.
I want to drink it again.
Japanese>English
きっしー
Sairai is still delicious ♥️
This time it was a refreshing fruity type with well-balanced acidity and a little bit of lactic acidity ❤.
This level of lactic acidity is totally acceptable. 💕︎ I'm not a fan of too much lactic acidity, but it's not bad lol.
Japanese>English
ellie
Very easy to drink! I'm not a strong drinker by nature, so I guess I like this kind of drink after all. A slight fizzy feeling comes at first. Reminiscent of the taste of Tasake Yamahai that I drank last year? It is lighter and silkier than Tasake. I had it with oden, beef stew, and yaki-sai.
This was my first visit to the Kuboyama Sake Shop in Shimizu-Anbara. Never knew there was a place like this on my way to work until now! I was looking for something hot to drink, but they had a very good selection of draft sake, so I bought some on impulse.
Japanese>English

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
Fuji is a picture from my house!
I'm a newbie so please don't take too much from my report 😅 this drink is reasonably priced and tasty!
Japanese>English
ellie
Now, how is the taste change on the second day?
The fizz is almost gone... and it is not as sweet as I thought it would be. The alcohol taste has become a little stronger. Yesterday, I thought it might be similar to tazake, but it is not. But it goes well with food.
Japanese>English
かずぴょん
ellie-san Good evening 😀I also go to Kuboyama Sake Shop when I want to drink Sairai👍.
I also bought the Kokoyama I posted this time at Kuboyama Sake Shop👌.
I hope we can have an offline meeting in Shizuoka 😊 Let's exchange information 😃.
Japanese>English
ellie
Good evening, Kazubyon ^ ^
Kuboyama Sake Shop seems to have a lot of users.
I appreciate the exchange of information and offline meetings 😆.
I'm a sake newbie with very little information as I only open a bottle of sake in a month 😓.

ellie-san Good evening 😀 I often go to Yokozeki Sake Shop when I go for a drive 🚙.
My home is in Shizuoka City, and I enjoy comparing sake from all over Japan 🍶.
At home, the vegetable room of the refrigerator is my hobby room? It's my hobby room 😀.
Japanese>English
ellie
Yokozeki is also famous 🤔I usually drink at home, but in Shizuoka I sometimes go to an izakaya called Hana Oto. I sometimes go to an izakaya called Hanane in Shizuoka. It's a place where you can combine Chinese and Japanese sake.
I'd like to visit a place where you can compare drinks someday ^ ^.
Japanese>English

It's been 3 weeks and I still haven't finished it, how does it taste? ...It tastes sweeter. I wonder if the sweetness is more noticeable because it is originally light. I prefer it when the bottle is opened. Now, I have two bottles of sake in the fridge that I'm looking forward to drinking. Which one shall I drink next?
Japanese>English
かずぴょん
ellie, good evening 😀 After 3 weeks, the taste changes. Sometimes that's a good thing, but it brings out the sweetness. Standby in the fridge, I'm looking forward to it... 🙂.
I bought 2 kinds of Etsukaijin at Yokozeki Shuho today 🍶.
Japanese>English
ellie
Good evening, Kazupyon!
Yokozeki, i will go there when they have tasake in! Etsukaijin was unknown to beginners, but the history of the brewery sounds interesting 😃.

I stopped by Liberty in Kusanagi today and found that they still had Sono Kangiku Monochrome and Eikofuji Yami Naraku Akimizu ^ ^ I also stop by this liquor store quite a bit. There are not many varieties, but they sometimes have some unexpected ones.

I found "Mansaku no Hana" at Kuboyama Sake Brewery and bought it ❤I don't remember Kuboyama Sake Brewery ever selling "Mansaku no Hana".
When I was in Tohoku, I used to drink this brand often, and I recommend it among Akita's sake, including its cosmetics. ☝️
I had high expectations for this "Manzaku no Hana" because it is a direct-drafted, unpasteurized sake, and I was excited.
It was a bottle that did not betray my expectations.
The fruity, not-too-sweet, acidic and refreshing taste that reminds me of lychee with a fizzing sensation that pops and pops is still delicious.
I wish I had bought another bottle...lol
Japanese>English
きっしー
It's a work of art❤
It's a description 💕
I wonder if this kind of thing is called lychee scent.
It wasn't pineapple 🍍 but it was similar 🤔.

Last week, we received a notice from Kuboyama Sake Shop that Jikin is in stock ❤.
Finally Jikin ❤
It's been a long time since I've had a Jikin ❤
I immediately opened the bottle and transferred it to a 4-goupe bottle for storage.
I don't need to tell you how it tastes 💕
Delicious❤!
I love the balance of this refreshing sweetness and acidity ❤.
It's unfiltered, so it's got a great umami, and I wonder if there's a sake with such a good balance 🎶.
Happy weekend ❤💕💕💕💕

This time, Akabu is the Xmas version, so it should have been drunk at Xmas....
I missed the chance to drink it at the end of the year because of various reasons...
But this time, I opened it and realized how delicious Akabu is... ❤
This is pineapple juice 💕
It's very similar to Huayangbao 💕.
It has a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness that is refreshing and not too sweet, and the bitterness follows the sweetness and washes away the sweetness in a refreshing way.
This is a slurpable pineapple🍍 ❤❤❤❤.
I want to drink another bottle 🎶.

Happy New Year! 🎍
We look forward to working with you in the New Year. 🙇🏻
I was actually going to make the closing post for 2022 on New Year's Eve, but I couldn't access Sakenawa, so I changed it to the first post of the New Year.
I will be at my wife's parents' house on 12/30 and then go straight to New Year's Eve. I had to go to a famous restaurant in Shimizu to get a bottle of Senkou.
It has quite a lot of ochre. The aroma is mild. It's hard to describe, but it's a bit semi-citrusy. Surprisingly, it has a strong gaseous taste.
There is a refreshing sweetness and a crisp acidity. The umami is strong.
The acidity is cut off early, and the umami continues until the end.
The umami acidity gives the impression of being quite unusual. It is dry and perfect for strong dishes at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year.
Now, after returning to Tokyo in the evening, I will open that sake I have been keeping....

This time, I purchased "Kosu-Mori".
I had been interested in this sake at Kuboyama Sake Shop for a while, but never got around to purchasing it.
This time, I bought the Junmai Ginjo (*^^*).
As soon as I opened the bottle, there was a nice fizzy sound 🎶.
I poured it into a wine glass 🍷 and checked the aroma 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌
When you take a glass with a little bit of ori in it to your mouth, you will feel the slight sweetness and the umami of rice that only ori garaami can give you, and at the same time you will feel a fizzy feeling, the bitter taste will wash away the taste in your mouth 🎶This bitter taste is natural and not unpleasant 💕.
The alcohol content is 14%, so it is very light and easy to drink.
This one is going to go down well💕!
I will repeat 𐤔

Kisshi-san Good evening ^ ^
