We went to Shirakikuya, which we were taken to on our sake shop tour of Kita-Osaka.
I entered the store secretly deciding that this sake was a must have. However, I was so impressed with the wide variety of sake at Shirakikuya that I couldn't resist 💦but I knew I wanted it, so I bought it 😊.
I am still moved by the story of the Noto Peninsula earthquake disaster. I'm from Osaka, but I'm cheering for you from the bottom of my heart.
I think the most notable thing about this Okunoto Shirakiku is its gentle sweetness and flavor. ❣️ It's a little dry. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep drinking it👍.
The 300 check-in was by Yukimi in Akita, so I cheered for the 400 here 📣Hirupeko-san also had a 400 with a different Shirakiku from Okunoto, so I was deeply impressed to see that everyone has the same feelings 😊Thank you Rafa-san for guiding us 💕.
Congratulations on your 400 check-in, Wakata 😆🎉I love Okunoto's Shirakiku, but I haven't been able to drink it since the earthquake 😂I donated money for it, but I haven't been able to drink it😇.
It's really delicious with a gentle sweetness just like your review 😆🎉.
Congratulations on your 400th check-in, Wakata🎉!
The gentle sweetness of Okunoto's white chrysanthemum is really healing 😊I will continue to drink and support you in your quest for healing 📣👍.
Congratulations to Wakata on your 400 check-ins at ㊗️. It is even more wonderful that you got Okunoto's Shirakiku at Shirakikuya! Shirakiku's Shirafuji-san is doing a great job too. Please keep drinking and supporting us, it is important to keep going.
Hi Wakata-san 😀😀 Congratulations on your 400th check-in!
Congratulations on your 400th check-in 🎉㊗️🎉Congratulations on your milestone 🎊The sake breweries in Noto that were affected by the disaster are doing their best to recover, so let's support them by drinking 😊.
Hello Mr. Wakata!
Congratulations on 400 🎊🎉🎊🎉.
The one I want to drink but don't know where to find a distributor 😭
Drink and support 📣✊ it's important 😊.
Thank you, Mr. Manachie 😊There are quite a lot of fans of white chrysanthemum in Okunoto 💕You are also full of kindness, Mr. Manachie, even making a donation 😊.
Maru, thank you very much😊Yes, I will get my hands on it whenever I come across it, Noto sake👍I hope we will soon have a daily life where Noto sake decorates our table without us having to think about it that way😊.
Tomoyuki Kumagai, thank you 😊I was able to find this sake at the right time, so I bumped it up to 400 👍I will continue to do whatever I can to help in this way 😁.
Thank you, Eririn 😊Where is the distributor? I know, there is a problem 😁I wouldn't have met you if I didn't have this tour in North Osaka 💦I'll keep drinking and supporting you 📣.
Congratulations on your 400 check-in, Wakata! ㊗️🎊I'm glad we could celebrate with the same Okunoto Shirakiku 🥂✨It has a delicious sweet and savory taste like a well-deserved caramel. Please come back to Hokusetsu again😊.
Good evening, Wakata 😃.
Congratulations on your 400 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️🎉Kiri number in Okunoto! That's great👍I think it's great that there are so many Okunoto reviews from Kansai 🥹I hope everyone can get involved 🤗.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊I'm sure 70% of the Okunoto reviews from Kansai are the work of Rafa, the reigning sake god 😆✨I really hope we can all get together to make this happen👍💕.
Congratulations to Wakata for 400 check-ins㊗️🎊🎉㊗️
It's a great number, filled with your feelings for Noto and the sake relationship with Kansai Sake-no-wa 😊.
We hope to continue both the yell for Noto📣 and the sakewa relationship for a long time☺️
Congratulations to Wakata-san on his 400th check-in 🎉!
I wish I could have gone on the Hokusetsu liquor store tour, it sounds like a lot of fun just listening to you 💨
And to win 400 for Shirakiku also shows how you feel about the disaster area ✨.
Aladdin, thank you very much 😊You are right, it is the sake connection of Kansai Sake no Wa, when I think about it, I feel more and more that it is already a miracle that I could drink here ✨We must not let the support and the connection become only for now 😊✨.
Thank you, Yoohee 😊Rafa's tour was really a wonderful tour filled with his personality💕The 400 white chrysanthemum was really a good timing. I was able to meet him at the right time 😊👍
Congratulations Wakata on your 400 check-in ㊗️🎉🎊
For the sake of deciding, you were struggling for quite a while with other drinks 🤣It's hard to narrow it down to one at a restaurant you're going to for the first time 😁Congratulations on the Kiri number 📣👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Good evening, Wakata-san😄!
Congratulations on your 400 check-ins㊗️🎉🎊Congratulations on your recovery and hope for the recovery of Okunoto's Shirakiku! It's wonderful😊It's one of my favorite sake too😋Let's keep drinking and supporting📣✊🏻
Congratulations on your 400th check-in 🎊🎉 I also drank Kochira sake at New Year's 😋.
I also drank Kochira sake on New Year's Day 😋It's very gentle and sweet 😊I want to drink more Shirakiku and support it too 🤗.
Thank you, bouken 😊I'm sure you drank Okunoto's Shirakiku on New Year's Day with nothing but love for the disaster area. I'm so proud of you bouken ✨I'd love to meet some other shiragane that I haven't gotten to yet 😆.
Waka-chan, congratulations on your very belated 400 check-in: 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can feel your love for sake and your celebration of 300 followed by 400 📣 🥰 I wish I could follow in your footsteps 😊.
Jyugodai Kuroemon Junmai Yaebaru Hitogokochi Hi-ire Genshu 2023BY Brewing No.25
We had a great time with Maru-san at the sake shop 🤣.
The next week, May 12, we went on another liquor store tour...
This time...
With Mr. & Mrs. Wakata & Yuki 😊.
Purchased at the 3rd Shirakikuya store ✌️‼️
I'm usually first in, first out, but...
I drank all of my bottle of Wakanami 😁...
We had this one first 😋.
The concept is...
The concept is... "For everyday drinking without any change or pretension...".
It's a classic sake.
Just as I like classic sake 😌... 😌.
Honey-like sweetness and refreshing acidity
After spreading in the mouth at the same time
It's a very nice and clean taste with a slight astringency....
This is an apple at its best 😊.
A bottle costs less than 3,000 yen 💴.
This is a regular sake 👍‼️
The brewery is located 936 meters above sea level.
It is said to be "the closest sake brewery to the stars in Japan"...
I feel romantic ⭐️🥰
Hello Rafa papa😄
I recently had a bottle of the same wine, but I didn't know the location of the brewery, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
Hi Rafa papa😃
I have to drink a bottle of the highly acclaimed ‼️ this one 🤗As a celestial uncle, I would love to stay at the brewery and look at the stars 🌌🥹.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
I tasted this sake at an event at Hankyu the other day, where it was on display and was delicious😇.
I would love to take it home and drink it at home once my fridge is settled 😀.
Hi Rafa 😃Thank you for the other day 😃‼️ a brewery close to the stars is too cool 👍✨I've already opened a bottle of that time, it's a quintessence ✨I'll buy Kuroemon like an apple next time I see it 😊.
Good morning Lutertemi 😃.
I heard that the high altitude is not an easy environment for sake brewing, but they are facing nature to brew delicious sake 😌I would like to drink it again 😋.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
The concept of 'for everyday drinking without any change and without pretension...' is close to ideal for me 😌 I really liked the taste and the simplicity of the drink 😋 Try drinking it while looking at the stars 🤣.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
Close to the stars...romantic, isn't it 🤣 the slight astringency in the aftertaste made me feel like an apple 🍎I wanted to drink the sake you gave me first, but the bottle ran out first 😅...
Okunoto Shirakiku Special Junmai Sake
May 5th is Children's Day 🎏.
Maru-san and I went on a liquor store tour...
The third store is Shirakikuya😊.
The sake we chose was... Shirakiku from Okunoto ✌️‼️
The Noto Peninsula earthquake caused extensive damage 🥲.
Dunks for brewing and electrical equipment were damaged.
The president and his wife are university alumni🎓.
Mr. Suzuki of Iwaki Kotobuki
Mr. Takahashi of Aizu Musume
came to the scene 💨.
The mash made for new sake production
to another sake brewery 55km away.
We made two round trips for two days to get it out 🚛.
We were able to press the sake on schedule👍.
The sake will be brewed and bottled
and will be on sale 😌.
This is the sake that remained safely in the brewery in R4BY.
I guess this is the sake that was safely left in the brewery in R4BY
Thankful to be able to drink it...
I had an image of it being sweet.
It's drier than I thought it would be 😋.
In the firm spiciness
It has a gentle, round sweetness and umami.
It finishes cleanly and neatly, leaving a gentle aftertaste.
It leaves a gentle aftertaste on the palate 🤤.
A versatile sake that is easy to pair with any meal 🎯.
Rafa, good morning ☀☀I'm jealous of Shirakiku from Okunoto 😂I haven't been able to get it since the earthquake 😇I'd love to have Tokujun warmed up to lukewarm 🤤.
Rafa papa, good morning 😃Thank you for explaining the situation in great detail😊I must savor and drink the whole episode slowly after reading this👍But I finished it yesterday😅.
Good morning Rafa papa 😃.
It may be a miracle that I can drink this sake, so it's kind of gratifying to see it being drunk even though I didn't buy it myself 🥹.
I look forward to the rest of your North China liquor store tour with Maru 😊.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
It sounds like you were able to fully enjoy the life force of the sake that survived the earthquake😇.
I have not yet hit Shirakikuya on my GPS, so I would love to visit again 🤣.
Rafa papa Good evening (^o^) Sake that survived the earthquake! It is really precious sake. And the other breweries are cooperating in various ways to support it 😊That's really wonderful! It makes me love sake more and more!
Hello Manachie 😃
I didn't think I'd be able to buy it either, so I'm lucky ✌️5 types were lined up and I had a hard time deciding but I went with orthodox and went with special jun... 😅I thought it would be good heated up but as usual it was gone before I could drink it 🤣.
Hello Mr. Wakata 😃
I heard that Mr. Suzuki of Iwaki Kotobuki rushed to the site right away 🤣I guess he was able to move quickly because of the hardship he went through 👍Great friendship!
Good evening, Mr. Aladdin😃.
Shirakikuya had a good number of 5 different types of sake 😊you might be able to find it if you go to the distributor 😁I used to see this Tokujun at Hanshin department store 😌Maru and I will be making our next sake shop tour last 😊.
Good evening, Yasube 😃.
I see... the sake that survived that earthquake can give us life force 😳‼️Shirakikuya is not on the GPS🤣Maybe we should not rely too much on GPS 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu😃.
I was fortunate to drink some precious sake🤣It's really great that breweries are supporting each other😊I think sake is evolving and moving in the right direction 😌.
Good morning Erin 😃.
I'm glad I got to drink as I thought I wouldn't be able to for a while 😌I learn a lot and have more fun than going alone 😊Thanks for your help in Utsunomiya 😁I had a great time 🤣.
Hi Rafa, good evening. I see you have a lot of shirakiku shop 😳I haven't peeked in there lately, maybe I should go there. Okunoto's white chrysanthemum is too good 😊.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃
Shirakikuya had several kinds of sake... and a good number of them 😊 They also had kujo-zake 😌The junmai was unexpectedly dry but very tasty 😋.
It seems to be for hot water only, but it can go all the way. Very tasty. The sweetpotato taste. The aroma is wonderful. It is not sharp and easy to drink straight.
Even when it is watered down, the aroma is not destroyed and it has a good sharpness.
Ohmine Junmai 3grain Unfiltered Nama Sake Dewa Sanzu
Yamaguchi Prefecture has a lot of good sake 🥰.
I've been drinking a lot of Amami 💦.
I wanted to drink Ohmine for a long time so I went to the store to buy some.
What was in the store?
3 grains Yamadanishiki Hi-ire
3 grains Yumachi Hi-ire
3 grains Dewa Sanzu Unfiltered Nama Sake
I wanted to drink the raw so I went for the Dewa Sanzan 😊.
I rarely drink Dewa Sanzan...
I've had...
Takachiyo and Hanamup 😅
Very tasty 😋.
Nice and fizzy 😌.
The sweetness is like melon and the sourness is like grapefruit.
The refreshing sourness is like grapefruit 🍊
Nice bitterness and clean aftertaste ✨.
Very fruity and fresh 🤤.
This was a jackpot 🎯.
Happy with a bottle 🤣.
Good morning Rafa papa 😁.
I used to drink a lot of Amami 😁 I also used to drink a lot of Otters and Toyo Bijin in Yamaguchi 😁.
I also had a choice between the above 😁 Dewa Sanzan, raw 😁 Looks delicious 😊.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Thanks for checking in on my hometown, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😊.
Although, I've only had Oumine-san nigori 🤣 I'd love to try the regular Oumine-san 😀.
I would love to try the regular Oumine-san as well 😀.
Hi Rafa papa 😃 We are the 6th largest drinker in Yamaguchi prefecture.
We are the 6th largest drinker in Yamaguchi Prefecture 🤗We get many different brands, but I have not been able to drink the 3 grains of Omine at home yet 🥲.
I'll try to get some next time I go shopping👍.
Rafa papa, good evening😃You are right, Yamaguchi is also rich in sake. I love Yamaguchi Prefecture and Yamaguchi Sake. ❤️Satisfied with a bottle of sake, Rafa. I saw someone who looked like Rafa at the Yamanaka Sake store yesterday. Did you go there?
Good morning Yasubeyesan😃Yasubeyesan!
Yamaguchi was your hometown, wasn't it😊Yuki Onna is everyone's favorite drink at Omine, but other sake is also delicious 😋 Please try it 😌.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃
Amami is a refreshing one and Daimine is a bit sweeter, so maybe Amami is better for you Nobby 😅 but it's well-balanced and easy to drink so give it a try👍
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
All the sake from Yamaguchi prefecture are delicious 😋I just stopped by the whatsapp Monodoya sake store on Saturday after tennis 😁I haven't been to Yamanaka sake store for a while 🥲I've only been to certain stores lately 😅.
Good morning, Rafa 🐥.
I haven't actually had Omine at home 💦 partly because I can buy it anytime and partly because I know it's delicious 😅I'd like to taste it once properly 😊I like Yamaguchi bundle too 🤔.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
The lineup of Yamaguchi Prefecture's sake alone is enough to enjoy 😊I think Ohmine is losing out by splitting the vote between "Ohmine" and "Ohmine"... 🥲I think they are underrated even though they are very good 🙄.
Okunoto Shirakiku Activated Nigori Sake
To the victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake
We would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
I sincerely hope that the days of peace and tranquility will be restored as soon as possible
and that the reconstruction of the affected areas will progress.
We are praying for the restoration of the disaster area and the restoration of peace and tranquility.
I hope the day when you can sleep soundly
I hope the day when you can sleep soundly in peace will come soon...
Hi Rafa papa 😀
I really hope that the victims in Noto can get back to their peaceful lives soon 🙏.
As a nigori lover, I'm very interested in this sake... but I guess I won't be able to get a new one for a while 😭.
Hi Rafa 🐦.
The nigori from Okunoto looks delicious ❣️ I just pray that I can drink this drink again 🙏.
Rafa's sleeping face makes me feel the happiness of peaceful daily life 🐱💤✨.
Good evening, Rafa papa!
This is a nice one you got here: ❗️
It's so rare now that you could say it's a phantom sake👍.
I feel sad when I see Shirafuji's instagram...
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
It will take a long time to recover from this disaster, so we would like to support them as much as we can without making it a temporary stop 😊.
Good morning Yasbay 😃.
I hope you get back to your peaceful life soon 🥺The nigori here is alsobe, but it is very easy to drink 😋I hope you will be able to drink it soon😊.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I drank this nigori last year too and was hoping to drink it again this year... 🥲I'm glad I was able to buy it in the last bottle, but I just pray I can drink it again 😌.
Good morning Haruei Chichi 😃.
I had planned to buy it at the beginning of the year since last year 😊I went to buy it first thing in the morning on the first business day of this year at a special store 😌It's hard to see the installations... 🥺.
Good morning Rafa!
Quick selection of sake for reconstruction. I'm impressed.
It is true that the damage is enormous, but we have no choice but to take the pinch as an opportunity, so I don't want them to just give up and close the brewery.
Good morning, sake-run 😃.
You are right... 😌I hope they can turn the pinch into an opportunity to make better tasting sake as soon as possible😊There are some breweries in Nada that have revived themselves that way...
Yamatohisyu Junmai-shu Yamadanishiki, heated, dry, THE KAN
Suddenly it's getting cold. ❄️
I want to warm up with sake...☺️
THE KAN...
The joy of rediscovering heated sake
Yamada-Nishiki is used to make what Yamabisu considers to be the
The ideal junmai sake
The rich umami expands softly.
The mild acidity whets the appetite.
Warming up the sake increases its flavor. ⤴️
Gentle and goes well with any food 😌.
Oden and heated sake is the best 🍢🤣
Good morning, Rafa!
I love 🍢 warming up at the end of the year 🍢❣️ most of all, I really like the label design 😆 I wonder if Takimoto will carry this label too 🙄.
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
I think this avant-garde etching looks great on a bottle of sake 😄.
I'd like to try it with some oden daikon and then chase it with some KAN heated sake and say "kooooo" 🍢🍶☺️
Rafa, you asked for me 😁.
By the way, it's a very colorful label 😊.
I'm sure you will have many opportunities to drink kan sake during the New Year's holidays 😊.
Hi Maru 😃
I found this sake in the mail from Kadoya Sake Shop when I wanted to drink heated sake after the cold weather 😳Yaman no Kotobuki is the second sake I drink since they started selling it last month 😅I would like to try other sake too😊.
Hi Ponchan 😃
Okan and oden🍶 are the best 🤣I ordered it by email so I saw the label for the first time when I went to the store😁It's a nice Pop label 😊Tastes like rice to drink 🍚 with the full flavor of the rice.
Hi Aladdin 😃
As you said, I think this label would look great on a bottle 👍‼️ It's a fun design to look at and it doesn't look like sake 🤣I groaned 'kuh' about 10 times last night 🍶🍢😌.
Hello kan 😃
I've missed you lately kan 🥺High-color is a good description 🤣I think the design combines nostalgia and freshness 😌I'll be drinking kan sake during the New Year's holidays 😋.
Hi Harry 😃
The late kan is still young and will be missed 🥲 that song has cheered me up many times 😊kan I would like to mourn him by drinking 🙏 I think I will play some background music and drink 😌...
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Oden with hot sake is a great combination 😀.
But my wife still has a bad image of hot sake, so it's not possible at home 😅.
Now I'm looking for heated sake that even the wife can drink 😀.
Hi Rafa papa 😃
It's hard to imagine heated sake from the colorful and pop labels in the picture 😅I'd love a glass of hot sake 🍶 while eating oden🍢 🤤....
Good evening Yasube 😃
Many people of our generation don't have a good image of hot sake 🥺I have a lot of bad memories of it too 😅but if you drink good heated sake, your image might change 😊How about fresh sake heated lukewarm 😌⁉️
Good evening, Jay and Nobby 😃.
The label may be colorful and pop, but the taste is authentic heated sake 😋 with a very pleasant full flavor spread 🤤Oden🍢 and sake🍶 are the best part of being born in Japan🤣.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
I really want Hirupeko to drink it 🤣This is my second bottle of Yamazan no Kotobuki and both were dry 😳It is a very tasty food sake with a very clear and clean taste 👍‼️
Jyugodai Kuroemon Junmai Ginjo Hitogochochi Activated Nigori Nama-shu
The first nigori of the season was a dobrok-like
Kawanakajima nigori...
I want to drink a vigorous nigori that makes the lees dance on its own in the bottle.
I want to drink a vigorous nigori that makes the lees dance by itself in the bottle... 😊.
I bought a bottle of "Active Nigori".
After all, it is active... 😁.
I want to drink it with a lot of energy,
Open and close the lid slowly to release the gas. ❗️
"Be careful when opening the bottle.
Please open the bottle gently without shaking.
This is what you can expect 😆.
When I opened the bottle... nothing changed 😅
Hey, hey, hey, hey... 🙄.
I started with the top clear liquid...
I took a sip and I wasn't wrong... 😮💨
Elegant sweetness clothed in lactic acidic acidity...
Refreshingly light and petite ✨.
A true calpis soda 😋.
I've always wanted to drink something like this.
The lees mixture calmed it down...
It became even easier to drink 🤤.
Nigori is still delicious 😌.
I can see why it's so popular this time of year...
Good morning Rafa papa 😃
We are in the middle of the season of Licorice ❗️
And you can enjoy it twice as much with the top clearings and stirring 😁.
This one looks delicious too!
I wonder where I can find it...
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
I wanted to drink this one too 🤤The snowman is cute ⛄️
Kuroemon XVI is flying off the shelves after winning the IWC Trophy, hope it won't be too hard to buy 🤔.
Hi Rafa papa 😃
I saw this one the other day when I was doing my end of the year shopping 😅I had already gone through quite a few 😢I should have bought it 😫.
Haruei Chichi-san Good evening 😃Nigori is delicious this time of year 😋I was late to the party this season so this is practically like my first bottle... 😅But it was delicious 🤤.
Good evening Mr. Aladdin 😃.
I was torn between this and the Yuki-Onna from Omine, but since Kuroemon was a first for me, I went with this one 😌I'm glad I chose this one👍‼️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
There are so many sake to drink this time of year 😅I was late to the nigori party and couldn't buy most of the major ones, so on the contrary, I can choose freely 😁This sake was a jackpot 🎯.
Good evening Erin 😃
It's made in November 2023, so I guess it's still available if you look for it 😊There are many popular liquors, so many people might not go through with it even if they see it 🙄I think I've seen someone like that somewhere 🤣...
Hi Rafa!
I want to drink all kinds of nigori ❣️ last year, I gave up because the store wife said it was too hard to open 😂I saw the review and thought even I could do it 😳I'll buy some next time I see it 😁.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
I was expecting 💃lees dancing in the bottle...not what I expected 😭 but the taste is more than I expected and I'm very satisfied 👍‼️ it's easy to open and if it tastes good it's great 🤣
Hi Rafa papa 😀
I think the nigori is great 😀.
We had quite a bit of nigori and sparkling sake this winter, and we have come to the conclusion that we love the shuwashu sake!
Good evening, Yasube 😃.
Shuwa shuwa sake is delicious 😋 wine 🍷 beer 🍺 and of course sake 🍶 🤣 I also love the petit petit with a little bit of foam on the glass 🤤.
Good evening, Rafa!
I didn't know this "Shirakikuya" even carries this sake!
Ohmine and Okunoto are both high on my list of places I'd like to try drinking 💧, but I'm a hard-core shut-in 💧.
Good morning, Mr. Sakeran 😃.
I wanted to drink Oumine and Nemuchi told me about Shirakikuya 😊I can't go there often because it's far away but the selection is very attractive 👍‼️ this time I went to buy Yokoyama 10 and met this sake 🤣.
YOKOYAMA SILVER 10 Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
One day a man tweeted...
"I've been looking for a bottle of Yokoyama 10...
but you can't find it in Kansai... 💦"
Then the search for the "Yokohama 10" started everywhere...
😁.
They have it there but only in 1 bottle...
They only have 7 and 1810 here...
They have it at that store but it's far away...
I happen to be drinking it right now and it's delicious...
etc... 🤣
In the meantime...
I found myself buying one too😅
Beautiful drink like a Yokoyama ✨
Just the right amount of sweetness and gentle acidity 😌.
Very easy to drink 😋.
I can see why a guy was so desperate to find it 🤔.
I heard one guy ended up buying it...
Yoohee, after you 🤣.
It was delicious 🤣
Hi Rafa, good evening 🌙
I saw this last week, but I went through it thinking it was indeed bad that everyone can buy it at the store 🤭 It looks delicious! I'll get some if they still have them🤣.
Good evening, Rafa papa 😃 We have only had one bottle of Yokoyama 😅 about 2 years ago.
We've only had one bottle of Yokoyama 😅I had a bottle of this 10 about 2 years ago 🤗I thought it was too sweet at the time, but I'd like to taste it with my grown-up palate 😄.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
Sake is for those who can buy it but not for those who can't 😁I would be happy if I could buy the sake that is hard to buy and the mismatch is omoroi 🤣.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃.
Was it too sweet 2 years ago... 🥲I don't like too sweet either so I don't think it's that sweet... 😁I don't think I can rely on it since my tongue is starting to blur 🤣...
Rafa Good evening ⭐︎
Sorry for the trouble 💦💦.
Personally, I find 1814 sweet and 7 sweet, so I was wondering about the 10, which is shipped in smaller quantities...,
It will be a while before I can drink it 💧.
Good evening Mr. Yoohee 😃
It was interesting to see how everyone commented on this and that from Yoohee's tweet🤣It's nice to gather a lot of information from a tweet 😊I'll try to tweet soon...what should I tweet... 🤔.
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
Yokoyama 10 is a hard to find sake in Kansai area. ❗️
I'm in an environment where it's always available, so I tend to pass it up.
It's too bulky to keep in the fridge 😄.
It's been a while since I've had it.
Haruei Chichi, good morning 😃.
Yokoyama drink is delicious but I tend to pass it by when I see it 😅This time it suddenly came into the limelight because of some guy's tweet 💡😁10 you certainly won't see much of it 🤔One guy is very attached to Nagasaki... 🤣
Ao, good evening 😃
Someone tipped me off that 'it's in this store'... 😁 so I didn't have any trouble at all 😅I was going to go to a far away store to buy it but I got it at a nearby store 🤣.
Ohmine 3grain Namafuku Hiyoroshi Omachi
First hiyaoroshi of the year😊.
Ohmine hasn't had it in a while...
It's very calm like an autumn saké 🍂.
From the smooth mouthfeel
After the deep umami of Omachi's unique flavor
followed by a gorgeous aftertaste.
The sweetness and acidity are both very gentle.
Easy to drink 😋.
I don't actively choose autumn sakes.
but to taste the sake of the season in its season...
That's not bad at all 😌.
I can't play tennis for 3 consecutive weekends due to a sprained ankle 🥲.
I'm taking it easy ☺️
Rafa on my lap 😴😴.
Hi Rafa 😃A sprain is sobering and you can't do anything with it so it leaves you with a lot of free time 😩.
This three-day weekend, I have to drink from morning till night 🤣❗️ can't do anything, so it's no wonder 🤣❗️
Hi Rafa!
I'm sorry about your sprain 😰Rafa looks happy though 😺💕Thanks for the three day weekend, it's all about the drinks and Rafa 😊.
So it's early fall sake 😳I like it and drink as much as I can 😁.
Rafa papa congrats on your decision!
Take care of your sprain 🙏🙏.
I'm sure they won't get mad at you for sitting down and drinking 🍶 because they don't want it to become a habit.
Good morning, Manachie 😃.
My sprain is much better now and I can walk normally even if I can't play tennis 😌, drive to Awaji Island 🚗, plant vegetables in the field 🥦, drink in moderation... 🤣
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I don't drink much fall sake 🍂I think this time last year I was only drinking the standard... 🙄 I thought seasonal sake was nice and I would like to try some other sake too😊.
Good morning Erin 😃
I see 🙄 just sit down and drink... 😁 sprains have always been rotten and hard to get rid of 🥲I think it's because of my age that I heal so slowly 😅...
Okunoto's Shirakiku ORIGINJO
It's been a long time since I've had this 😊.
I think it's been a while since I bought nigori together with bouken and Nemuchi... 🙄.
I think it's been a while since I bought a bottle of nigori... 🙄.
Shirakiku is a stable taste 😋.
When the cover of the stopper is removed, it makes a nice popping sound.
Automatic bottle opener with a pop 💥.
It's very energetic 😀.
No automatic stirring... two beautiful layers...
Carefully mixing and stirring by myself...
A firm acidity with a hint of sweetness...
The sweetness is brought out while the sourness is brought out...
Gradually, the bitterness emerges and fades out nicely.
Fades out nicely...
This is delicious 🤤.
I drank too much and sank on the floor with Rafa two days in a row
Sinking on the floor... 🤣
Rafa-san, good morning 😃This year, there are only a few shirakiku from Okunoto, so I haven't been able to drink much because they are always sold out even if I go to special dealers 😫 Looks delicious 🤤.
Good morning! 2 days on the floor sinking🤣Already the 4th picture looks like Rafa 😆I see you are ok to show your face ❗️I want to drink Noto's Shirakiku this year ❣️
Hi Rafa!
Rafa looks like Rafa to me too😊😺I wonder if they look alike when they are together✨.
I haven't had a drink in Okunoto this year💦I'm going to visit 3 restaurants this time 🚗💨
Hello Manachie 😃
I see you have less Shirakiku this year 🥲I was lucky to buy Ori Ginjo even though it was a little bit older than most fall sake these days 😋 It was delicious 😋.
Hello bouken 😃
I haven't seen you since that thing 🤣I had a lot of offline meetings after that so it feels like a very long time ago😅I think I'm sleeping with a happy face too... 😴.
Hi Yucachin 😃
Actually, I've been sinking on the floor a lot lately...😅My wife has given up and won't even talk to me 🥲I don't have a face to show you, so I'll show you Rafa instead...😅Please drink it, it's delicious Shirakiku 😅Please drink it 😋‼️
Ah! This is the ministry!
I'm pretty sure Manachie-san was raving about it, too, and I was wondering about it...
Rafa-san, this is Kochikara!
I see, it's even better than Hata-san's, isn't it?
I'm not sure I'll be able to go there unless I have something to do 😭.
Good evening, Mr. Sakeran😃.
Shirakiku from Okunoto is delicious 😋Shirakiku shop is a little far away in Takatsuki 😅I think most liquor stores in the basement of Hanshin department store carry it 😌I think the variety is limited though 😁.
Okura "Bakkarai" Special Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake
It is a very cost-effective sake, costing about 2,500 yen for a bottle. As the name suggests, it is perfect for a mealtime sake. It is not enough for those who are looking for flavor and aroma, but it is great for a leisurely, casual drink at home. I don't think I'll repeat it because I'm looking for flavor and aroma.
The freshness of the first sip, followed by sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and a refreshing aftertaste. I'm glad I was able to purchase it for the first time in a long time. Delicious 🤗
non non, nice to meet you❗Good evening 😊Yamamoto Sake no Yamamoto Honten is often mentioned, so it is always helpful 😁Congratulations on getting Jikin 🎉We have the same one, so I want to open it 😆.
Good evening, bouken-san. We don't have it in the store, so when my husband goes to buy shochu, he asks the store staff. If they have it, they will offer it to us, but the timing is not so good 😢. We were lucky this time. 🤗
Good evening, Nemuchi-san, and thank you for your comment, I enjoyed reading your post on the Osaka Hokusetsu liquor store tour that Rafapapa-san and bouken-san took 😉. I will refer to it 🤗.
Okunoto Shirakiku Activated Nigori Sake
I bought this at a sake shop tour by bouken & Nemuchi.
I bought this at a sake shop tour: ✌️
We went into the store in groups of 3 and all 3 bought the same sake.
We all bought the same sake 😁.
I think the owner was a little bit disappointed... 🤣.
We put a toothpick in the cap hole
and let the gas out a little at a time...
No spillage in about 5 mins...
I was able to open the bottle without any problems. 😮💨
It was not Junmai but Aru Soze.
It's delicious enough 😋.
The texture of the rice is still there on the lees.
Rich sweetness 🤤 and
Moderate acidity like calpis 😳
Light stimulation from the schwabich ✨.
This would be delicious no matter who drinks it: 👍🤣‼️
Rafa-san, good morning 🌈Thanks for the remote offline meeting 😊I remember Rafa-san 💦 finding out that the sake was not Junmai when he bought it here, but I'm glad to hear that it's very tasty 💕.
Rafa, good morning ☀☀The Junmai one opened quite easily, but the Honjozo one looks terrible 🤣I see this one still has the rice feeling 😋I'd like to try the Honjozo too 😳.
Hello Rafa 😊
I didn't get to meet you, but thanks for the remote 😀.
I opened this sake yesterday! It doesn't matter if it's alky or not, it's really good 😋.
Ummm, hello 😃.
Thanks for the remote 😆 I should have stayed up until the powder snow 🤣I was distraught that it wasn't pure rice but it was totally delicious 😅I'm sorry and embarrassed 💦 for the sake.
Hi Manachie 😃
I stuck a toothpick in the cap hole and raised and lowered it to release the gas, but it was so healthy that it almost spilled over if I was not careful 😆 It can't be bad because it's so healthy 🤣.
Hello takeshon 😃
It's been a while since I've had remote fun 😆Thank you very much 😊Senkou's Arabashiri is easy to drink and I left early because I thought it was dangerous 😅I had to rush out yesterday to buy a bottle for this week 🤣.
Hello bouken 😃
I was going to hang in there until I saw you bouken, but sleepiness got the better of me 😭Active nigori was more than enough even with alu 🤤.
Hi Rafa, good evening 🌙
Thanks for the remote New Year's party 😊It was nice to meet you remotely 😆.
I'm curious about Junmai, but Honjozo is also delicious 🥰 Good for you Rafa, you can enjoy drinking it too 😋👍
Good evening Rafa papa! I'm so glad to see you here 😄.
Thanks for the remote New Year's party: ♪🤗 We had a lot of fun, talked a lot, and before we knew it, we were sunk: ♪🤣 Let's drink again: ♪😋
Good evening, Tsubu 😃.
It was a pleasure to meet you for the first time at the remote 😆I was a little depressed when I first found out it was a real brew 😅 but I was relieved when I saw your review of it 😮💨 It was delicious 👍🤣‼️
Good evening MAJ 😃
Congratulations on your promotion ㊗️ Tokyo is a great place to drink a lot of alcohol you want to drink 😆 I also excused myself before you roared off 😅 Let's have another drink 😊.
Good evening, Rafa.
Thank you for your hard work at the remote offline meeting.
I was so happy to hear that we share the same Kansai region.
I've had a bottle of Shirakiku from Okunoto.
I look forward to working with you in the future ✨
Good evening Mr. Ofuji 😃
Thanks for the remote 😊I see we are also in Kansai 😊😳⁉️ Kansai Sake no Wa is getting more and more exciting, so let's have a drink together next time 🤣.
Good evening Rafa papa, 🌃😀
Thank you for the remote New Year's party😊It was nice to see you for the first time😚I've never had Shirakiku's Nigori-nagashi even though I live in the area😭I hope to see you again🥳.
Good evening Rafa 🌙
Congratulations on the remote revival & thank you for your hard work 😊 Sorry we didn't meet 💦.
It's like a comic book, even the Kansai Brothers all buying the same one and being disappointed with different specs 🤣.
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
Thanks for the remote New Year's party! It was nice to meet you through the screen 😊 Visiting liquor stores with sakewa friends is like a field trip for adults 👍I can buy good sake😄.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃
It's been a year since I've been back to the remote 😆It was great to see so many people in such a short time 😊The white chrysanthemum nigori is really a cartoon 🤣.
Sake bought with Rafa papa and Nemuchi at a liquor store tour (4)
We all went to buy sake together 🤣.
I remember the liquor store was surprised that all 3 of us bought the same sake 🤣.
I remember the liquor store owner was surprised because we all bought the same sake 🤣 I thought I bought the same Junmai that Manachie was drinking, but when I got home I saw it was Honjozo.
I opened this one because I heard it was nigori day.
It wasn't as strong as the other day's Kamikai, but it was very active and spilled a little 💦.
It's a stopper with a hole in it, but opening it as is would have been a disaster, so I drilled a hole in the cap and let the gas out, but it still spilled out. 🌋🤣
I know I'm borrowing from your review, but it looks like doburoku with some grains of rice left in it.
I don't know if it's because of that, but it's like eating rice. It tastes like green apple and melon. The alcohol content is high, so it has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a cream soda feel to it. It has a crisp and sharp taste.
I paired it with umeboshi (pickled plums), which Mr. Manachie mentioned, and it went well with it, perhaps because it tastes like rice 🤣.
Good morning, bouken 😀
I can't help but laugh when I think of all the old men buying the same thing 🤣and they all buy the same thing.
I laugh 🤣and buy the same one, I want one too, my dad might have a stroke if 5-6 people buy it 😅I want to meet you at Shirakiku ❗️
Good evening, bouken! I'm so glad to see you here 😄
I see, dried plums for rice-like nigori.......I see......it might be possible......♪🤔If it goes viral at Sake-no-wa, it will be sold out, so you have to get it early... ♪😆👍
bouken, here's another one: 😄🌙
Opening the bottle was a bit of a challenge❓It wasn't so hard at our place❣️ Junmai is also interesting, but the honjozo is also delicious😉👍 You also tried dried plums❣️ they go well with it😋♪
Good evening, Mr. bouken 🌙
Thank you very much for the remote offline meeting.
I see that you and Rafa went to buy the drinks, so you drank the same drinks...
Good evening, bouken.
We bought them together and opened them at almost the same time 🤣I woke up in the morning and tried to give you a review, but I was in a hurry because you gave bouken 😅and the contents are almost identical 🤣...
Good evening, Harry 😃.
If I were a shopkeeper, I'd be very surprised 🤣.
I think it's because of the small production of the brewery as a whole that there are only a few dealers.... Seasonal products are rarely seen 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy ✨
It has a sharp taste of alcohol, but there are no unpleasant nuances at all 👍
It has a strong 🍚 feel to it with some grains left 😁.
It's also good with pickled plums, so it's a sake to eat. 🥄🥢
Good evening, MAJ 😊.
If you prepare ume plum and nori, you can drink it as if it were 🍙🤣.
I don't think they make as many as Hirotogawa and Yukidaruma, so it would be tough if they become popular 😱.
Good evening Rafa 🌠.
I was surprised to see that Rafa posted after I posted this 😳
I didn't realize we bought them together and opened them at the same time and even posted at the same time 🤣 even the reviews were similar 🤣.
Good evening, bouken🌙
I thought I was having déjà vu🤣.
I bet the guy at the store must have been surprised🤣.
I'm glad you enjoyed the sake too 🤣.
Nemuchi, maybe he's not reserved, maybe he's embarrassed 🤣.
This is a personal record because it is a shochu liqueur.
It is made from corn malt and has an amber color. It has a very sweet aroma of corn and a taste reminiscent of whisky.
It has a nice sharpness, and it is a very good sake.
I prefer to drink it cold.
The first sake of the year. It was served as a sacred sake.
It was light cloudy, low in acidity, crisp and clear, and extremely delicious! It is not thick, but really refreshing, with a gorgeous aroma and a good balance that makes it a good mid-meal sake! It was a great sake!
Too good to be true. It is thick and juicy, but thanks to its drinkability, it can be used as a food wine, and has a great mouthfeel and aroma. A great sake! Beautiful even without the sauce. Really good sake. Love it!
I bought a cotton shop I had never seen before because it was in a row.
They say it is a sweet, low-alcohol sake. It has a rich sweetness like dessert wine. I wonder if it is suitable for women. It's delicious, but it might not go well with a meal.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
I thought I didn't know this drink, but it was a cotton shop 😆.
I wonder if it's better to drink it by itself since it seems to be difficult to pair? I thought so, but I felt it would go well with cola flavored gummies 🤣.
