〜Off-line meeting in Osaka with J&N from Kansai
Here, it's time for the customary change of seats 🥳 by Mr. Sakae Lan.
...but it didn't go well whether the signal was bad or the app was malfunctioning😅.
A few of us voluntarily moved 😁.
The first drink I had at the place I moved too.
It was lukewarm. When I drank it in the past, I thought it was too strong and peculiar! I thought it was too strong, but now it has a nice acidity that makes it delicious 😁I guess that means I'm getting more perverted 🤣.
Good morning, bouken😄.
Thank you for your hard work in the off-line meeting. We had a great time 😁Tengu Mai finally arrived at our table 20 minutes after we ordered it, and Nemuchi was so pissed off 😆.
Nemuchi was pissed 😆.
J&N Osaka Landing (1)
On this day, I left Tottori in the morning and took the limited express Super Hakuto🚞 to Osaka for a little over 2 hours! I'm NO❗️ drinking iron for the evening event😅.
While I was on the train, I wrote 📝and uploaded a lot of travelogues from the Chugoku region yesterday 😊.
I arrived at Osaka station before noon and was surprised to see so many people in a big city that I hadn't visited in decades 😅I'm from Tottori anyway😅.
I finally arrived at the hotel while getting lost, and after dropping off my luggage, I moved towards Dotonbori for now! We bought some takoyaki (octopus dumplings) at an open store and ate them...
But we were so tired from carrying our heavy backpacks full of our own souvenirs 🍶 that we couldn't find a place to eat 😅.
After that, we went back to the hotel and rested together to recover our energy 💪.
Then, in the evening, we had an off-line meeting with Kansai Sake-no-wa group as the finale of this trip 🎊🤗.
We were thrilled 🥹 to have 13 members 🥹and thrilled💓 to meet each other🤗.
Unfortunately there was no Tochigi sake on the menu, so we decided to have Osaka sake and toasted to our first Kurehaaru 🎵.
Yes, it's easy to drink and delicious 😋!
The Osaka Off-line Meeting has begun: ‼️
To be continued
Good evening~!
You are as active as ever!
I look forward to reading the rest of your review👍
I've only passed through Osaka!
I wish I could take a picture in front of Glico too lol
Jay & Nobby, you have arrived in Osaka. I was wondering what kind of quick work you had done since there were so many reviews. I had never had Kurehaun before. I am looking forward to your review of the off-line meeting in Osaka.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I hope you enjoyed Kurehaaru ❓
Actually, Kurehaaru was the first sake I tasted after I came back from my abstinence from alcohol 😀.
The Osaka Sake-no-wa-kai sounds like a lot of fun, and I'd love to attend!
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃Thanks for the long trip ✨It was a pleasure to meet you two lovely people yesterday ❤️ tall Jay and petite and cute Nobby look great together ✨Waiting for another fun trip report 😁.
I think that Jay & Nobby's communication with everyone through Sake-no-wa has brought so many people together, and also made horizontal connections within the site 🥰.
Thank you!
Jay & Nobby, we had a great time last night 😊🎶.
Thank you for stopping by Osaka on your trip 🙏 It was really nice to meet you both and it made it happen 😭
Looking forward to more 😆.
Jay & Nobby, thanks for the offline meeting the other day✨.
It was really nice to meet you😊.
Thank you for a great time 🥺.
We look forward to seeing the rest of your story 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃!
It's been decades since you've been to Osaka, but you didn't go sightseeing and got in shape for the Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line meeting intrusion, which is exactly the right way for a Sake-no-wa member to travel ✈️ 🥰.
Hello, sake guru 😃.
I think the fun of last year's Tohoku expedition was the kick-start of J&N's expanding activities 😊.
Dotonbori was intoxicating with the waves of people 😵.
I'll be slowly raising it in the aftermath of the trip 👋
Hi Sashi 😃
I was writing this article mostly on my cell phone, talking memories with Nobii, without looking at the scenery from the train window 😆.
I was happy to drink Osaka's sake as I had only had Aki-shika before: ‼️
Hi Yasbae 😃
Oooh! That was such a memorable drink - the first Wu Chun was delicious 😋.
And the Osaka offline meeting was full of fun and warm people 🤗.
Hi pyonpyon😃
Thank you so much for the other day 🤗
You are always so friendly and I felt so comfortable that I almost dozed off during the conversation with you and Yoohee ☺️ I'll be slowly raising it again 👋
Hi Kozo 😃
No, no 😅I think this is the result of the noble people of Sake no Wa extending their hand to a middle-aged couple who are enjoying what they are doing now that their children have left the nest and there are two of them😊.
I really appreciate it 🥹.
Hi Pon-chan 😃
Thank you very much for the good time the other day 😊It was a great decision to choose the Osaka meeting for the finale of the trip 🤗or rather, I planned my itinerary backwards from the Saturday meeting 😆.
I'll be slowly working my way up!
Hello bouken 😃
Thank you for the good time the other day and for accompanying me to the hotel 😊.
You are quite a bit younger than I imagined bouken, ❗️ please keep on bringing it up 🤗.
Hi 3KAN4ON 😃
The beef bowl at Sukiya that we went all the way to Osaka to eat was... exactly the same 🤣Well, if you don't get in shape, you'll miss half the fun of the offline meeting 🤗.
I think we did the trip the right way too👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby, ☺️
Looks like a very enjoyable trip, or expedition, 🤤♥️ and the drinks on the express train are great 🤣🍶.
Looking forward to the rest 🥰.
Good evening, Jun 😃
It was a very fun and fulfilling 5 days 😊I've never traveled so long by train 🚃, so it was a fresh experience for me 🤗I'll keep you updated as I go along 👋
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☀️ Osaka chapter has started. ❣️ I am happy to see so many Kansai members gathered here 🤗 As expected of J&N, the representative of Tochigi Prefectural Association 😆 I look forward to your report on your wonderful meeting 😊♡♡
Good morning, Tsubu 😃.
I'm so glad you could join us! I can't thank you enough for having us all here 🥹I had a great time with such a wonderful group of people 🤗I'll keep it up 👋
Good morning, Rafa papa 😃.
No, it's too bad we couldn't meet in Osaka at the right time...it was a really fun night 🥹.
Hope to see you sometime in the next 5 days or so 😆.
Good evening Jay and Nobby 😁.
Welcome to Kansai sakewa 😁 sorry we couldn't join you this time 🙏 I hope you had a good time with fun members and good drinks 😁 we look forward to your other sake posts 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby.
It was a pleasure to finally meet you both.
I know you must have been tired, but I got power from you.
We hope to see you again 😄.
〜Off-line meeting with J&N Sakenowa in Kansai, Osaka (3)
I was disappointed that there was no Tochigi sake, but J&N-san told me that it was Hitakami that got him hooked on sake, so I ordered this.
It came lukewarm.
I wonder if this label is correct?
It is a gentle sake that goes down smoothly without any unpleasant sensations. I didn't know that they have a honjozo (sake brewed with sake) in the Hidakami line. I didn't know that.
〜Off-line meeting in Osaka with J&N from Kansai
I know the name, but I have never seen Kusudama sold there. I heard it is brewed in Takayama (information from Kyuzo).
I took this opportunity to choose it.
It is fruity and sweet. Tastes like something you would find in Koshi.
It was probably my favorite sake I had at the first meeting.
I realized once again that our tastes are similar because we ordered the same brands as Nemuchi's table 🤣.
The sake menu was borrowed from a photo taken by Sakeran ✨.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃.
I was very impressed with the selection of pre-sake and the fridge lineup, although it costs extra 😳They have a lot of creative and creative items. The taste was also very good 😋There are many stores in the Kanto area, so please go there 😊.
〜Off-line meeting in Osaka with J&N from Kansai
The meeting was held at Grand Front Osaka, Osaka's osare spot 🤗.
I was so nervous just because the main store is in Roppongi, a famous spot in Tokyo 🤣.
The members were
Jay & Nobby
Umaumai Umaumai
Pon-chan
Mr. Usagi Goten
Mr. Kyuzo
Mr. Luteltemi
Mr. Nemuchi
Mr. Sakeran
Mr. Yoohee
Mr. Maru
Mr. Jive
Hirupeko
Mr. pyonpyon
My 15 (in no particular order)
As usual, the party started with a toast by Mr. Kyuzo 🎉.
The all-you-can-drink menu was full of classic sake, so we toasted with Osaka sake.
The toast was to Kurehaaru Honmaru Honjozo.
It's been a while since I've had it, but it has a classic flavor but is easy to drink. I think Ikeda sake, the regular sake we had at Gura-san's offline meeting, is sweeter.
I couldn't get the bottle because it's not the type of place that pours sake in front of you😅.
The second sake I drank was Nishinoseki nigori.
I thought Nishi no Seki was rare because I only see Junmai, but Nemuchi's table ordered it first🤣.
It's a classic nigori sake, but it's very smooth and smooth. It is not too sweet, but not too spicy and easy to drink.
Good morning, bouken preacher 😃.
JN, you finally landed in Kansai: ❗️
The restaurant at the venue was the one where I drank Reimei on my first national conquest 😆.
Good morning, bouken!
You did a great job taking pictures of the sake and the food 😁.
It was my first time to drink "Nishi no Seki" too, but it was easy to drink without much peculiarity despite its turbidity 😋.
bouken, I hope you had a good time offline 😆.
I enjoy seeing the different drinks you had at the table this time 😁.
Thank you for always taking care of the photos, directions, etc. 🙏Thank you for your attention to detail 😊.
Good evening, bouken! 😄
Finally a welcome offline meeting for JN. 😆👍That's great that 15 people can gather! 😱The amount you drank also looks awesome 😋😋.
Good evening, Chichi 😃.
I saw your post after I got your comment 😅
I've never heard of this place before, but I'm impressed that you've already been there ✨.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
Thanks for your help the other day 🤗I'm always in charge of the drinks photos 😁 instead I have none of the people photos 🤣.
Twins? It was fun to get some photos 😆 It was hard to believe that it was alsobe sugar added 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Koso😃.
We gathered as many Kansai people as possible 😁I was so nervous after a long time in front of J&N 😅.
There are many stores in Yokohama and Kanto area so please visit us 😊.
Good evening MAJ 😃.
I guess it's J&N's personality to gather here so much 🥰I guess it's because of the all-you-can-drink menu, but since there was a limit on the amount per table, I guess we didn't drink that much per person 🤔.
Good morning bouken 😃
I hope you had a good time 😭I wish I could have been there 🥲 but I had a great time meeting my peers too 😁Cheers with Wu Chun 🥂That's a cool presentation 🤣.
Good evening Rafa 😃
I missed Rafa who is always here 😭 there was no bubbly or Tochigi sake so I went to Kureshun for Osaka sake 😅I'm meeting J&N sometime...maybe in 5 days 🤣.
Banana-like aroma, crisp and easy to drink. The sweetness spreads in the mouth and the taste is refreshing at the end. The aroma was more than usual, probably because I drank it in a wine glass.
