Purchased after tasting at an event at Yodobashi Umeda.
The small venue was so crowded that I lost my motivation to sample and the only thing I tasted was this...
According to Icoma Sake Brewery and Shinjo-san, it was empty during the daytime, so I completely missed the timing of my visit 💦.
At room temperature. The sweetness is quite sweet and not as classical as the label suggests.
It has a gentle taste that I could drink it all the time 😋.
It seems like it should be heated, but I don't have a sake warmer and it's a hassle 🤔.
This drink was also consumed by Wakata a while ago😊.
Sweet and slightly fruity.
Silky with a smooth and tender mouthfeel.
Tastes even better than I expected 😋.
Morimin, now I want to try the other sakes 😁.
Good morning, bouken 😃I know, other foresters would love to have a drink too 😁I'm glad you have a comrade in arms! I will check out Umeda, but now I have more purpose to go home to my parents👍.
Good morning, bouken-san 😃My husband informed me that you can buy it at Sendai station. I didn't have time to visit the station on my return trip, so I haven't confirmed it yet 💦 but it would be easier for us if you can buy it at the station👍.
Good evening, bouken 😊 Thank you for your continued support. I heard that my father used to work part-time at Moritami Shuzo. I drink it every time I go back to the country. The freshly squeezed raw sake is delicious. ✌️
Good evening, Mr. Good evening 🌃
Thank you very much for your kind attention 🙇 I didn't know your father worked at this brewery.
I didn't know your father worked at this brewery 😳
I've input it as I squeezed it 🫡.

I went to Yodobashi the week after the Japanese Sake festival and found 3 different kinds of sake 😊.
I bought it along with the Echigo Toji that I posted about one time before.
I didn't write it down, but according to the information at the sake festival, the rice is Yumesansui.
When I drank it at the sake festival, I thought it was a sweet and sour sake, but something about it gave me a different impression. Even after leaving it in the fridge for a little while, the impression didn't change much.
After 3 days, it seems sweeter 🤔.
Found this at Yodobashi.
Echigo Toji is sold at Haretoke, but I had the impression that it was only classic sake, so I passed on it, but this one has a modern-looking label, so I bought it!
Polishing ratio 48%, Gohyakumangoku
I imagined it to be light and dry, but it is a bit richer than I expected and has a good amount of sweetness. The latter half of the bottle has an impression of converging with spiciness.
I was curious about this sake because Wakata-san was drinking it.
I had given up on the idea that I wouldn't be able to buy it, but Yodobashi was selling it😅.
The aroma is fruity. The gas is not so strong as to be called active. It has lactic acidity and greefiness. It is indeed creamy as rumored. It has no pungency or sake-like taste, so it is a very easy-drinking nigori sake.
I was kind of busy and couldn't go out for a drink or buy anything, so I had this one in the fridge.
I didn't expect so much, but it was surprisingly tasty.
It was easy to drink and went down very smoothly.
While doing a little shopping, I had a cup of Kikuhime to try.
I thought it would be more classical and matured, but it was surprisingly easy to drink.
It is even better when slightly warmed.
The project is said to be a project of young employees of Toa Brewery.
When I think of Toa Shuzo, I have an image of them selling very cheap sake at business supermarkets😅.
It is now part of King Brewery, which is famous for Hinode Mirin, and is also related to that Ichiro's Malt 😳.
It is light and slightly sweet. It is easy to drink as it is not spicy. Might be better to drink as a food sake 🤔.
Personally, I think that since it is one of the more expensive sake in Toa Shuzo's lineup (about 1800 yen), they should at least specify the name of the rice.
#Osaka Umeda#
Whenever I come to Osaka, I always
Yodobashi Camera 2F in front of the hotel.
It has become a matter of course 😆.
And buy 300ml to drink! 😁😁
I was attracted by the label, but I bought it...
Sweet and refreshing 🎊.
#OsakaUmeda#
I have an important meeting,
I arrived in Osaka.
Actually, I arrived early,
I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆.
I had this before the meeting.
Sweet and sticky 🐴....
I think I like it a lot 😁....
I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐.
This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.
#OsakaUmeda#
Tonight at a hotel on a business trip,
I will enjoy this seasonal sake.
It has a subtle sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste...
Drinking alone, I can feel the taste of 🍶 calmly 😁.
#OsakaUmeda#
Today's business trip is to Osaka.
I have a dinner with my family tonight, but I have some time to spare.
In such a case, there is no shortage of Japanese sake!
Wandering around Yodobashi Camera Umeda.
I like sweet sake, so I bought this one.
I had a light 😏 at my accommodation until the appointed time.
It was both sweet and deep as I imagined ♥️
Well, time to go out 😁.
It's important to socialize 😆.
Bubbles Festival ④
Today's sake is Shichiken from Yamanashi Prefecture 😀.
Actually, when I cleared Yamanashi Prefecture on my first trip around Japan, it was a sparkling called Yama no Kasumi 😀.
It was very tasty and gave me the impression that sparkling sake is good 😀.
This time, the second round, it is Soranosai, which is the top of the previous sake 😀.
I opened the bottle with high expectations... it's still delicious 😀.
But... ❓😅😅
It is indeed a delicious sparkling sake, but while the Flax Cat Sparkling I drank yesterday was a delicious and superb champagne, this one was in the range of delicious bubbly sake 😅.
Maybe I made a mistake in the order of drinking comparison ❓😅😅
Today is my 65th birthday 😀.
65 years old, I feel like an old man all of a sudden 😓.
I'm old enough to get a pension from today, but I'm still working and my pension payments have been suspended 😓.
It's a happy and sad age 😓.
Goofs aside, I chose to toast with a sparkling sake from Shichiken, which will be my first time in Yamanashi Prefecture 😀.
Before I quit drinking alcohol, I used to drink champagne for any anniversary, but this Shichiken was better than champagne 😀.
Sake is good 😀.
Thanks for the congratulatory message, Pon 😀.
I really liked the Seven Sages sparkling 😀.
I want to try a different sparkling from Seven Sages next time 😀.
A rare sake made with Kastori shochu instead of brewing alcohol. Have you conquered it with the Funaguchi-Kore sold now?
It certainly has a strong aroma. It doesn't have a sense of being alcoholic because of the use of kasutori-shochu.
I think I'll get a little tired of drinking this amount....
Personally, I think I prefer new rice shochu or matured shochu.
I saw it at Yodobashi right after Pon-chan was drinking it, so I bought it 😊.
According to Pon-chan's review, it is made to resemble makgeolli, and toraji means bellflower in Korean.
Is it just me or does Toraji remind you of Kunibun Taichi and Domoto Tsuyoshi's Fantastipo?
The fizziness is weak, but it is delicious with a sweet and sour taste like yogurt or lactobacillus drink. I tried it with yakiniku (grilled meat), and it certainly seems to go well with it.
I had known about Junmai-Nigori for a while, but had been having difficulty finding it because I had not seen it at any of the distributors, but Yodobashi had it. Yodobashi has always been aggressive in carrying it before dawn.
For some reason, I have the impression that Yodobashi is strong in Nagano Yamanashi sake.
They often carry Misuzu, Drunken En, Shichiken, and Kai Kaiun.
Maybe the founder is from Shinshu or Yamanashi?
The Honjozo I drank before? It is drier than nigori, but it is sweet, spicy, and bitter at the same time. It is quite bitter and spicy, but it also has a sweet taste, so I thought it was quite good.
It is sweeter when the temperature is higher than when it is very cold.
I had a feeling I wouldn't like it, but Yodobashi had a variety of Kunimare on sale, and I bought it because I don't think I would normally be able to buy it. The Junmai Ginjo made from Hokkaido rice was more expensive, so I chose this one.
This is the northernmost sake brewery in Japan.
It has a tangy aroma and a smooth, light, and gentle taste. It is light and does not seem to interfere with meals. I wonder if it would be better with seafood. Let's try it slowly.
I think the spiciness is more noticeable when served cold than at room temperature. I don't like it by itself, but with a meal, it's delicious!
Unlike the sake I usually drink, it's like a veteran enka singer.
Good evening, Mr. Yukachin😄
I thought of Ichiro Toba as a specific name. The first impression I had was of a fishing boat running through rough seas, so I thought I'd use fishing boat -> Ichiro Toba😅Please use it 🤣I'll use the floor sinking too 😙.
2021/11/27 Yodobashi Sake Store, Yodobashi Umeda
Manasaku no Hana Junmai Ginjo Hinomaru Jozo (Akita)
50% polished rice, Sake degree +2, acidity undisclosed, alcohol content 15°, underground water from the Kurikoma mountain range in the Ou Mountains
This sake is refreshing and light, but not dry. It is a well balanced sake that you will never get tired of drinking😋👍.
Yodobashi's sake fridge is always stocked with fire-roasted sake, but sometimes they have a few bottles of unpasteurized sake.
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.
It's rather fruity. It is fresh and smooth on the palate. There is a fruity sweetness, but you can also feel the sweetness of the rice. The aftertaste is long.
