There was one that caught my eye, so I had a glass.
It was a good, refreshing sake, which I didn't think was a honjozo. Delicious.

My hard-to-find sake (5)
After work today, I met up with my wife to watch the cherry blossoms at night along the Okawa River 😀 We went to our usual izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
We went to our usual izakaya together 😀.
The sake we had was Jyushidai, which is the most difficult to obtain sake for me 😀.
I've applied for the lottery many times before, but I've never won 🤣.
So I haven't had it at home yet, but I feel like I'm drinking it all the time thanks to the fact that I know a store that always has Jyushiyo in stock 😀.
The two bottles we had today were both incomparably delicious😇.
However, his wife still prefers his student's Hanayuup to his teacher's Jyushiyo 🤣.

Good evening, Mr. Yasube.
I saw how difficult it is to find the various types of wine at the time of the dawn of time.
I envy you that you have a store where you can have a drink anytime ✨

Good morning Yasube-san 😃.
Jyushiyo is difficult to drink at home 😓Maruriki is a good restaurant 👍We used it for a farewell party for my tennis friends the other day and it cost us 7,500 yen per person because we drank too much 😅.

Hi, Pon 😀
Yes, it seems to be quite difficult to drink at home, but I'm thankful that my regular restaurant always carries it, so I don't feel like it's a hard-to-find sake 😀.
Besides, the wife seems to be more Hanamup than Jyushidai as usual 🤣.

Hello Rafa papa 😀
Thank you for visiting the restaurant I mentioned 😀.

As I said, it seems that the availability of sake is quite regional 😀.

Good evening... I've only seen Jyushiyo, also only in stores 😥 or there was even a lottery 😱I didn't list it in the repo but I've had it several times and I prefer Hana Yuu 😍Jyushiyo is too easy to drink 😅.

Hello, Kozo-san 😀
I still think Hana Yuu tastes better than the one I usually drink 😇.
but some people say Hanayuup and Hanayuup are also hard to find sake 🤣.
Good sake is getting harder and harder to get 😅.

Today I opened a bottle of Nagasaki's Hiran Kijoshu.
I had a bottle of this sake once before, and it changed my image of kijoshu, even though I used to hate kijoshu.
This time it was from Maruriki Shuzo, an izakaya I started visiting around September of this year, who gave it to me as a year-end present 🤣.
I'm sorry to say that I've only been going there for 3 months 😅.
It tastes like... melon 😀.
In case you're wondering, we compared Senkyu's Kijoshu and Nanabonjari's Junmai, both of which are melon 🍈.
The same melon is as different as a red flesh melon and a green flesh melon 😀.
I was scared that I was going to get into an endless loop where the refreshing taste of the Shichibonsyu would refresh me between the melon and the melon 🤣.

Good evening, Mr. Yasube!

So the sake that changed the image of kijo sake was Hiran 😊I think Hiran would be delicious 😋 because it looks elegant and noble 😌.

Hi, Pon-chan 😀
If you have a chance to come to Osaka, this is a moderately good restaurant that also teaches you a lot about alcohol 😀.
The shichibonjari that connects the two types of melon is refreshing and really did a good job 😀.

Last but not least, Ryugetsu 😀
Of course, as expected from Jyushiyo... it's still delicious 😀.
However, I felt it was the least distinctive of the three 😅.
Of course, this is just our couple's stupid tongue impression, so I'm sure there are many people who have different impressions 😀.
But it was fun to have an end of the year drinking contest with our husband and wife 😀.

Hi 3KAN4ON 😀
You can drink Jyushidai anytime, but the limited edition sake just arrived 😀.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀.

Next up was the Jyushiyo, Soukoh 😀!
How unusual, this Daiginjo sake is the wife's favorite 🤣.

Today, I happened to be going home at the same time as my wife 😀.
It was probably the last time we would be together at the end of the year, so we went to our usual izakaya (Japanese style pub) 😀.
As the last luxury of the year, we were offered a Jyushidai drink comparison 😀.
Actually, this is my first time drinking Jyushidai 😀.
We compared Ryusen, Ryugetsu and Souki 😀.
All of them are definitely delicious 😀.
But I liked this Ryusen the best 😀.
It tasted deep and robust, but fruity and delicious 😀.
By the way, the girl at the store also said that this was her favorite out of the three 😀.

Hi Nemuchi 😀
You can drink Jyushidai anytime, but the limited edition sake is timing 😅.
It's fun because they make a set of sake to compare with Niimasa or Jikin, depending on your preference 😀.

Tonight, my friend, a jazzman, is playing a jazz concert, so I'm going to go to the live house now 😀.
Before that, the wife and I went to our usual izakaya for a quick bite to eat 😀.
Yesterday, I asked for a refreshingly fruity dry sake for the wife, who is into dry sake, and she recommended this super dry bakelon 😀.
I was relieved to hear that she thought it was better than a bad sweet sake 😀.
By the way, I had the third new sake from the store's original connection and a heated bottle of Shinkame 😀.
Still Mrs. Kikuchi prefers cold sake to hot sake 😅.

Today, my friends from school got together for a little early year-end party 😀.
We drank well back in our student days, but as I said, everyone was drinking shochu and I was the only one drinking sake 😅.
The first drink was a standard self brewed sake from a standard restaurant 😀.
It's my favorite sake lately 😀.
I asked everyone to take a sip of it, but everyone with a shochu palate said it was too sweet 😅.
When the party was getting going, I asked for some recommendations for hot sake since I didn't know what hot sake was, and we had a big drinking contest of cold and hot sake recommendations 😀.
All the sakes were just hard when hiya, but when heated, the flavors opened up and I was surprised 😀.
All were delicious, but my favorite was the Funaka Hachisaku 😀.

Good morning, Yasube 😃.
Looks like a fun year-end party with your friends 😊Thanks for your efforts to promote sake 🍶 amidst the shochu crowd! I'm sure it's fun to compare cold and warmed sake, but I'm sure I'll get drunk 😁.

We finished off today's outing with the same sake that this izakaya always makes himself 😀.
This is the third barrel of this year's sake, and we are lucky enough to have had all of them 😀.
The first sip when chilled was refreshing, but as the temperature gradually changed, the sweetness became more intense and delicious 😀 The next barrel, the fourth, will be ready in December.
The next fourth barrel will be a sparkling one in December, which I'm really looking forward to 😀.

The next one was Ibigawa from Sugihara Sake Brewery in Gifu Prefecture, which is famous for its Imi sake 😀 I didn't know about it at first and asked the shop owner about it.
At first, I didn't know about it and asked the store owner about it, who told me it was made by the same brewer as Imi, so I ordered it right away 😀 It was delicious 😀.
It was delicious 😀.
It was delicious 😀 It's from the same brewery, after all 😀.
It brought back the same emotions as the first time I drank Imi 😀.
It's fruity, but it's too good to be called just fruity 😀.

The last of today's birthday drinking contest is Kangiku 😀!
The wife's impression was that it was the most delicious sake of the day, including the Shinmasa 😀.
I have a feeling that Kangiku will become a regular sake in our house from now on 😀.
At any rate, we were very satisfied today with the delicious sake and delicious food 😀.
After all, it was a fun birthday dinner at an izakaya where you can drink and eat well, rather than an expensive restaurant where you have to spend a lot of money 😀.

October 23rd is my 65th birthday 😀.
My wife told me that we should book a table at a restaurant and go out to eat, so I told her that we should go to Izakaya, which is my current favorite place to eat 😅.
I explained to her that we could have a good drink there and she immediately agreed 😀.
Thanks to his wife's good nature to change from restaurant to izakaya so easily 😀.
First of all, we chose Tanaka Rokugo for the toast 😀.
I had decided to celebrate my 65th birthday with this, so I was happy to drink it 😀.
The owner asked me why I chose this sake and poured me a glass of it 😀 I thought Fukuoka sake was dry.
I thought Fukuoka sake was dry, but it was very fruity 😀.
I'm glad his wife liked it too 😀.
