First issue.
Cold sake
Subdued fruity aroma.
Sharp mouthfeel with ample umami flavor.
The acidity tightens the taste and gives it a sharp aftertaste.

First visit to a liquor store and first brand
When I was working part-time at a liquor store, the brewer at Takaraiya told me about this 💫.
Cold sake.
Aroma of yellow apple and pear compote
Light and smooth on the palate.
The acidity cuts through the aftertaste.

Winter Nigorinpic 25
For this Nigorinpik, I really wanted to add this sake to the selection.
Of course, I had never tried this ogara-mi sake before, but I really wanted to try it 😇.
The only Sairai distributor I know in Kansai is a little far away, but I went to buy it 🤣.
I compared the top clear sake, the mixture at room temperature, and the chilled mixture, and found the sweetest flavor was the mixture at room temperature😇.
However, my favorite was the chilled mixture 🤣.
When you put it in your mouth, it goes into your mouth smoothly and cleanly, and when the temperature rises in your mouth, the sweet and tasty taste spreads quickly and lasts for quite a long time without being persistent 😀.
I don't think there are many sakes that have such a long lasting sweet and tasty taste but not at all clingy 😇.
It was a delicious sake that I really liked 😇

Hi Yasbay😄
You don't see Bai Sai Lai very often, do you?
I drank it myself, and I agree with you very much that it has a sweet flavor that lasts but is not clingy 😌.
It's worth the effort when you go out and buy it and it's delicious ❗️ 😆.

Yes...as far as I know, there is only one shop in Yao city in Osaka that carries it, so I do my best to go there when I feel like drinking it 😀.

Today we will open a bottle of Sairai's Asaromi, which had been sleeping in our sake cellar for quite a while 😀 It is a little more acidic than usual Sairai, so it is probably a summer sake ❓ 😀 .

It has a nice sourness and a clean and beautiful sake atmosphere 😀.

Too bad the stores that carry it in Kansai are located far away and hard to get to 😅.

Good morning, Yasbaye 🐥.
The mere mention of Sairai makes me want to drink it 😻 Pink🩷 label is common in spring sake, but it's a summer version 😳I'm curious as I've never had a more sour one 😊.

Good evening, Pon 😀
Whether it's summer sake or not is subjective for me, maybe it's spring sake... I simply imagined it from the name "morning cool taste" 🤣.
But I felt it was nicer and cleaner than usual Sairai 😇.

I contact them every night with a 6-bottle sake tasting set, and this Otter is the only one that I can taste properly every time 🤣.
Maybe I can easily identify the Otter because I've had it a few times, but the other sakes are too difficult to blind taste because it's my first time 😅.
I might be able to tell which sake it is if I drink the bottle until it's empty, but if it's my first taste of a completely different sake in a test, I'm confident I won't be able to tell 🤣.

The sake for the Sake Duploma second test preparation that I ordered has arrived 😀.
The sake is

Kamikigen Shojo Honjozo
Mikuyo Ginjyo Rei
Tosa Shiragiku Togin
Shochu

Tojo Taimei Barley shochu (normal pressure)

Can we compare the taste ❓😓.

Good morning, bouken 😀
I took the first round of the optional test, but in the second round of sake tasting, it seems that 2 out of 6 questions are about guessing the shochu 😅.
In the extreme, rice shochu is distilled from sake, so it might be the taste that Torikai-san is most familiar with😇.

Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
I was also surprised that there is even shochu and awamori 😳I have never had any kind of shochu and awamori and now I know that there is normal pressure and reduced pressure 😳
Japanese>English

Hi Pon-chan 😀
I heard that since shochu is distilled liquor, the boiling point changes depending on the atmospheric pressure and that changes the taste... I used to drink a little shochu, but I had no idea about decompression distillation at that time 🤣.

I didn't know there was also a problem with shochu^^; I only know about Class K and Class B (which are required for inventory), but I guess there are many more! It is a good study.

Hello, freelancer man of the first generation 😀
We are of course more familiar with sake, but it is less distributed than shochu, so I guess you need to cover shochu as well if you are a sake diploma 🤣.
Only Otsu will be on the exam though 😇

The other day, I made a trip to Yao City and got 3 kinds of Saikai-san 😀 I really wanted to get them because they are only sold at Inui Sake Shop in Kansai 🤣.
In the Kansai region, only Inui Sake Shop carries it and I really wanted to get it 🤣.
This liquor store is so unusual that even my office workers who live nearby don't know it's a liquor store 😅.
The Junmai Ginjo that I opened today was a delicious sake that is said to be a standard sake of Sairai 😇.
The aroma starts off elegant and clean, then fruity on the palate 😀.
The aroma starts off elegant and clean, then fruity on the palate 😀 It finishes nicely with a crisp acidity and spiciness 😇.
You have to make a long trip to get this sake, but I still want to get it in the future. 🙆♂️
There is one more bottle of special Sairai left, but I am looking forward to drinking it now 😀.

Good morning, Yasbay 🍶.
Inui Liquor Store...is that the store where you go up the stairs, sit on a chair, look at the catalog and buy? You receive your goods downstairs 🤭 It's certainly different 😅 I've been there a few times. Onchi...I miss it.

I really wanted to drink two sakes this year... Shinshu Kamerei and Sairai 😀.
I could drink Shinshu Kamerei at home, but I could only drink Sairai outside 😅.
I had heard from bouken and the manager of chuin that the Yao store was the only store in Kansai that carried the sake, but I was hesitant to expand the area where I could buy sake any further 🤣.
But the desire to drink at home got the better of me 🤣.
I went to buy two bottles of the standard sake after researching on the internet, but to my surprise, the store even had a special sake that was not listed on the internet 😇.
I'll save the special sake for the spring sake comparison starting tomorrow, but today I had the standard sake and was happy to drink it slowly 😇.
Tomorrow, we will finally start the spring sake comparison 😀.

The security guard where I work lives in Onchi and when I told him about Inui's, he said he didn't know it was a liquor store even though he is a local 🤣.

There is only one store in Kansai that carries it, and that one is far from the city, so it's not easy to buy it 🤣.

I got the impression that it was a little darker and sweeter and more robust than the morning cooler I had the other day. Both are light and tasty, though.

I bought it at Osaka's only, or rather Kansai's only, Sairai distributor.
The Inui Sake Shop is located near Onchi Shrine, walking distance from Kintetsu Onchi Station in Yatsuo. The building looks like a warehouse or an office, so it's hard to enter, but when I pressed the intercom and said, "I came to buy sake! I was told to come in, and I was taken to the second floor office. You sit in a chair and look at a catalog while you choose your items. When the products are ready, you go out and pick them up outside.
Please check the instagram and the official website for the brands they carry.
This is my first time to buy Sairai's draft sake. I was going to buy only Yojo-no-tsuki, but there was some Asaromi left, so I bought both.
Fresh strawberry sweetness. The acidity is impressive. It is refreshing and has a short aftertaste. Unlike 🍍 or ramune, it is a gentle sweet sake that is not flashy.

I finally got a bottle of Sai Rai, which has been getting popular lately. I really wanted to get the nama-shu Hanasumi, but it was sold out, so I got this one. It has a sweetness like grapes or muscat. You can feel the sweetness for quite a long time. There is no gas. I thought it would be a bit more sake like, but I think it strikes the perfect balance.

I've seen Bunraku a few times, but I've always avoided it because of its classic impression😅.
