Timeline
ジャイヴHere is what I had for my second cup of coffee at SHIMA & coffee & saké before the company farewell party!
Tazake Kojo-zake.
The aroma is like ripe apples, the mouthfeel is juicy and full of sweetness and umami, then it finishes with a calm and deep aftertaste, and finally a bitter taste at the back of the throat.
Not too sweet, but with a deeper umami and richness, it has an apple brandy/calvados-like taste 🤔.
I would rather drink it while relaxing with a movie or reading a book than with a meal.
I ordered a cup of Ethiopian coffee to finish off the meal.
Compared to the rich taste of "Tasake", I felt the taste of "Ethiopia" was a bit bland, but the refreshing taste was a refreshing drink to get me in the mood for the next day 😋. Rafa papaGood morning Mr. Jive 😃
I was interested in this alcohol but I didn't have the courage to drink one four-pack 😅I'd like to drink a little of it outside 😁I'd like to have a cup of coffee at the end of the day 😁It's stylish 😌. ジャイヴGood evening, Rafa!
I've added a correction to my post. This is a coffee shop run by a master who loves Sake, and I always have a cup of coffee to finish off my lunchtime drinking 😋.
It was a perfect bottle for when I want to drink slowly ✨. ジャイヴAfter last weekend's unseasonably warm weather, it is now cold and rainy in Fukui ☂.
Today was a farewell party for those who are leaving their departments due to personnel changes at the company. I will stay in my current department for the next year, but two of my apprentices who I taught will be leaving, so I am worried about my job after April😅.
The venue for the party is not very good with all-you-can-drink Sake, so I went to SHIMA & coffee & saké near the venue to recharge my Sake ✨.
Kinjaku Junmai Ginjo Akiaagari.
Aroma of mellow sweet rice, a little pear-like? The taste is clean and sweet, with a refreshing aftertaste and a lingering bitterness.
In contrast to the mellow aroma, it is not so sweet and easy to drink.
The fourth picture was taken when we stopped by Yuretoro in Fukui Yatai Mura, which opened recently after the opening of the Shinkansen bullet train, before stopping by SHIMA.
I'm looking forward to seeing a new drinking area in Fukui. ポンちゃんHi Gyve, good evening 🦉.
Good to see you, Golden Chun Chun ❣️, it's not easy to meet people for a drink outside 💦.
Farewell to your apprentice and meet your new store, it's cold but spring 😌. アラジンGood evening, Gyve 😃.
I thought this industry was moving fast when spring sake started coming out, but it's already time for personnel changes 😌.
This Kinjaku was delicious too. ☺️
I felt your taste in the coaster on the Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance cigarette sign by Yuretoro😊. ジャイヴGood evening, Ponchan 🌛.
I forgot to mention that this was my first "Kinjaku" 😁.
At the end of this year, besides my apprentice, the junior staff that I worked with will also be leaving the project, so I feel sad to be the one to stay and see it through 💦. ジャイヴGood evening, Aladdin 🌛.
I felt nostalgia for Fukoku Seimei on the coaster as it is based on the concept of nostalgia [Showa Retro] 😁.
However, many stores were full at 5pm, so I hope to see more in the future☺. 麺酒王Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Oh, Golden Sparrow... I've never seen it ‼️! I'm jealous 🤤I can feel how delicious it is in your review✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Gyve 😃.
Chun Chun Autumn rise here! I've only heard that it's good 😅I'm sure you've seen the reviews 😅I know it's good 😋It's autumn, but it's already the sound of spring... time flies by year by year 😌. ジャイヴGood evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake 🌛.
I didn't expect to be able to drink "Kinjaku" myself 😲.
But Yamaguchi prefecture has a thick layer of local sake players, it's like a galactic army ✨. マコスケMr. Jive, it's nice to meet you, isn't it?
Your first Kinjaku was "Aki-agari"?
I'm surprised you could afford it at this time of the year. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
The moment I saw the bottle in the cellar, I was Golden Chun Chun! I was so surprised 😁.
And I can't believe there's still [autumn rise] ✨.
In another month it will be cherry blossom season 🌸 ジャイヴNice to meet you, Makoske 😁I always read your posts ✨.
I heard that "Kinjaku" was among the sake brought in at the Izakaya event held at your restaurant [SHIMA] a while ago, so I think you left it until the event 😊. ジャイヴ［A day to work on sake activities] in [SHIMA & coffee & sakes] ☕🍶.
After comparing the different types of sake from the Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery, we had the last one from SHIMA ☕🍶.
Tasake Tokubetsu Junmai Nama 2023 Shinshu.
Aomori-esque apple-like aroma with a hint of woodiness, juicy sweetness and umami on the palate, followed by a refreshingly gentle sweet aftertaste with an apple-like acidity.
The sweetness is more refreshing than the "Toyobai" that I drank the other day, and it is a dangerous bottle that can be drunk smoothly without making you feel that it is 16 degrees Celsius.
After being satisfied with the sake, we finished off with a coffee that only SHIMA can offer ☕ today's Brundi ☕!
The slightly bitter bitter chocolate-like richness is perfect for sobering up 💡.
When paying the bill, a donation box was placed at the end of the counter.
We left SHIMA with great satisfaction, but in fact, our sake activities are far from over 💦. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Gyve 😃.
A day of working on my drinking activities! It was a good day with a good drink followed by a coffee ☕️ and a good day to end it with a coffee ...... is still going on 😆 That's what I'm talking about 👍. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I thought I've had enough of this after the closing coffee, but as a result, I'm still in the first half 💦.
I was only a little tipsy from start to finish, probably because I had it with a glass of water, which is 90ml, half of a cup of sake 😁. ポンちゃんGood evening, Mr. Gyve 🌙.
Will you still be drinking? It's a great day to work on your booze, great store & drink lineup ✨I'm still a coffee lover 😊👍I've never had Burundi, so I'm curious: ❣️ ジャイヴGood morning Pon, good morning ☀☀☀.
I've had a lot more to drink as a result, so stay tuned for future posts 😁.
If it were within walking distance, I'd definitely go in 🤣.
The balance of bitterness and richness is quite delicious 😋. 
ジャイヴ［A day to work on sake activities] in [SHIMA & coffee & sakes] ☕🍶.
After emptying out the "San-do", the next choice was decided by the master, Mr. Shima, who said, "I have this one here.
First "Hana no Kaori" 🎉"Hana no Kaori Junmai Daiginjo Sakurabana".
We received the first bottle of the sealed bottle!
It has a rice aroma that reminds me of pear, similar to "Sanchi" but clearer and more fruity, a juicy umami sweetness on the palate, a lingering aftertaste that makes you sigh, and finally a strong bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue.
The accent of the remaining bitterness enhances the umami sweetness of the next sip.
Compared to the "Sanchi" which is easy to drink, the "Hana no Aroma" is a more leisurely sipping sake.
As the temperature rises, the bitterness fades and the sweetness increases, giving it a more floral flavor.
I was very satisfied with the "Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery" drinking comparison that I never expected 😁.
［The sake drinking at SHIMA continues ☕🍶. MantaHi Jive ^ ^
I saw your review of Ane's and thought it was a nice floral fragrance, and here it is again✨.
And it's back to the scent of flowers from the producing soil 😊. あねさんHello 😊
You're right, we're drinking the same thing.
And I'm overwhelmed by your vocabulary 💦 yes, like, this is what I wanted to say.
I like the idea of comparing the type of wine with the type of soil. It seems to be fun to have different types 🌸. ジャイヴHello Manta!
The timing was perfect, the drinking out of the "Sansho" and the opening of the "Hana-no-Ko" coincided 😁.
We succeeded in recovering from not being able to drink what we were looking for ✨. ジャイヴHi Ane ☀☀☀☀.
Your review was easy to understand and I found some things I had missed 😁.
I'm curious to try the "chrysanthemum" one as well ✨. 
ジャイヴA day free to work on my sake activities 🍶 Enjoy soba noodles and sake at YUKAMEAN KAMEYA and take a walk to the station.
［I enjoyed soba noodles and sake at "Youkamean Kameya" and took a walk to the station and then took a train to Fukui City 🚃.
I wanted to greet the New Year at SHIMA & coffee & saké until the scheduled time ☕🍶.
I came to the store after hearing that they had opened the "Nabeshima New Moon" recommended by Aladdin, but Mr. Shima told me that it was sold out in an instant, so I went to the cellar to choose a replacement sake.
I went to the cellar to choose a replacement sake.
Sansho 2023 Yamadanishiki Ni-no-zozo.
The aroma is full and sweet with a hint of rice, the mouthfeel is soft and fruity with a sweet umami, then it finishes with a gentle sweet aftertaste, and finally a slight bitterness lingers in the back of the throat.
The pleasantness of drinking flows smoothly through the body.
It has been half a year since I drank it at the "Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line Meeting" in the summer.
When I finished half of the bottle, I was told that there was another bottle available today, which was "Hana-no-Kou" from the same brewery, Hana-no-Kou Shuzo.
I never thought I would be able to compare "Sansho" and "Hana-no-Ka" at the beginning of the year 😁.
Next review 
ジャイヴAnother day at SHIMA 😊.
After drinking "Taido", I ordered a coffee to finish off the day.
While I was having my coffee brewed, a couple came in 🚶.
I was thinking that this is the best part of the restaurant when I saw the husband sitting next to me and he ordered a cup of hot green tea because he is a driver and the wife ordered a cup of hot muddy sake (MM Spyder).
I'm going to have a cup of oizake 🍶.
Mibu Junmai Ginjo, which I mistakenly thought was a Kyoto sake from its name.
The aroma of apples with honey, the sweetness quickly fades as you drink, and the sweet apple aroma lingers on the nose!
Wow, this is as sweet and delicious as apples with honey.
I mistakenly thought this was from Kyoto, but it's actually a collaboration between Mibu-cho, Tochigi and Mashidaya, a sake shop, and brewed by Iinuma Brewery, famous for its "figures" and "cedar trees" ✨.
I never thought I would experience the love for Tochigi in Fukui 🥰.
By the way, the wife I was with later shifted to heated "Kawanakajima Special Junmai Sake" and shared it with me, which was also outstandingly delicious and I made up my mind to order it next time 😆. ポンちゃんGood evening, Mr. Jaive 🌙.
After coffee, you're back to sake again 🤣Jaive-san's good personality & good company exudes from you: ❣️
I thought Mibu = Kyoto, but it's a Tochigi sake 😳 ぼうすけGood evening, Mr. Jive 🌙
Thank you for the Tochigi love 🥰 from Fukui 😊Heated MM Spider and Kawanakajima heated sake, I see what you mean 🤔By the way, is Kawanakajima the yellow one? ジャイヴGood evening, Pon 🌛.
Coffee was a short break, not a closing, but it was a fun time to hear many interesting stories 😁.
I couldn't help but have a strong image of Mibu = Shinsengumi, so I was completely guided 😅. ジャイヴGood evening, Bousuke!
I never heated muddy sake myself, so I learned a lot 😁.
Kawanakajima Special Junmai Sake is the one with the yellow label 🍶.
I will continue to look for Tochigi love 🥰 even though we are far away from the area 😁. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Gyve 😃.
We're glad you had a nice meeting: ☺️
We, on the other hand, didn't know there was a Mibu in Kyoto 😳😅I didn't know Mibu from Mashidaya is drunk in Fukui 😌.
Love nature and Tochigi 🥰 wonderful 🥹. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay and Nobby!
I had an image of Kyoto myself because the old name of the [Shinsengumi] that ran through the end of the Edo period was the [Mibu Roushi-tai], but now I know that there is a museum of Bandai, famous for Gundam, and I suddenly want to visit there. ジャイヴP.S. Jay & Nobby.
I think it's [SHIMA]'s own way of obtaining it, since it's probably not distributed.
I learned that Tochigi love🥰 is overflowing in unexpected places 😁. 
ジャイヴAt [SHIMA], continuing from last time
I was looking around the cellar for what to drink next when I found a bottle of "Denshogiku", which is rare in Fukui, so I had another glass.
Taido Junmai Ginjo.
The master likes this one so much that he carries it almost regularly 😊.
Sweet fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and a sweet aftertaste.
The image of the aftertaste is somewhat similar to sweet potato shochu 😁.
According to the master, he almost always recommends it to his customers, and it is rare for people to ask for it themselves 😊.
If I didn't have sake-no-wa, I wouldn't have gone through with it either😅. ヤスベェHi Gyve 😀
You're right, Kumamoto's sake tastes more like Imo Shochu 😀.
I spent my school days in Kumamoto, so I was looking for Kumamoto sake, but this sake was a no mark 😅.
I'll try to find it again! ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Gyve 😃.
I'm happy when I find a sake that I like when I go out for a drink! I'm always happy when I find a sake that I like 🤗I'm sure you have a discerning eye when you're doing the "sakewa" 😆. ジャイヴGood evening, Yasube!
I was curious about "Taido" after reading a review of it on Sake-no-wa, and I never expected to find it in my hometown, Fukui 😲.
［Maybe it's my impression of Kumamoto's sake, but it was delicious 😋. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I am amazed at the miraculous encounter in Fukui, where sake from other prefectures is rare, especially due to distribution 😲.
Your usual review walks paid off 😁. ジャイヴDenshogiku" drinking comparison at SHIMA 🍶.
Review of the non-origara-mi
Sono Kangiku Denshogiku Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 50 Unfiltered Nama-shu
The aroma is lighter than that of the ogara-mi, the mouthfeel is fruity and sweet, and there is a slight bitterness that lingers at the end after the finish.
Impact of ogara-mi, the clear and easy to drink one 😆.
We decided to stay longer at SHIMA because there were other sakes we were interested in! 
ジャイヴAfter enjoying the crab, the wife and children stayed overnight at the in-laws' house, and I went home by train because I had work the next day.
But I didn't want to miss this chance, so I got off at Fukui Station and went to Sake Katsudo 🍶.
I saw this bottle in the cellar and ordered it immediately!
Sono Kangiku Denshogiku Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 50 Orikigarami Unfiltered Nama Sake
White grape? Pineapple? The sweet aroma reminds us of white grapes or pineapples, and the sweet umami that goes down the throat smoothly, followed by a lingering taste with impact and bitterness in the back of the throat.
We don't have enough stock for one cup, so we can proceed with the comparison with the "non-origarami one" ✨.
I prefer the "ORIGAMI" when it's cold, but as the temperature rises, the sweetness and umami of both expands, but I think I prefer the "NOT ORIGAMI" for the degree of expansion 🤔. マナチーHi Gyve 😃The name of the restaurant has coffee in it, but is it a place where you can enjoy sake and coffee? ⁉️ sounds wonderful 😍I also like coffee a lot, so it's definitely a good place for me. ‼️ ジャイヴGood evening, Mr. Manachie 🌛.
Yes, "Shima" is a coffee shop run by a master who loves Sake, so you can enjoy both coffee and Sake 😁.
I also enjoy a cup of coffee at the end of the day after enjoying Sake as I always do! ひるぺこGood evening, Mr. Jive. Manachie is right! I'm looking for a place where I can drink sake like I drink coffee, so this is the perfect place. And to be able to compare the sake with Denshogiku is crazy 😍. ポンちゃんHi Gyve, good evening 🌙.
I like coffee as much as you do, or rather I like coffee so much that I can't take a break from it, I want one in my neighborhood 😆 I'm also jealous of your electric chrysanthemum drink: ❣️ Rafa papaGood morning Mr. Jive 😃.
Sake 🍶 at coffee shop ☕️ is wonderful 💓You are wonderful to know such a place 😊I made a reservation for Echizen crab after reading your last review 🦀🤣. ジャイヴHi Hirupeco, good evening 🌛.
You can enjoy lunchtime sake here with people who can't drink 😁.
Of course, the coffee is delicious, so I recommend you to have a cup of coffee after drinking sake✨. ジャイヴHi Pon, good evening 🌛.
I like coffee myself and hand drip it almost every morning ☕.
I think the store that combines coffee and alcohol, which seems to be rare, can be very useful for everyday use 😁. ジャイヴGood evening, Rafa!
Since it opened around the middle of the Corona period, it has been slowly gaining recognition and popularity even in Fukui where there is no daytime sake culture 😁.
I see you made a reservation for crab 😊Please enjoy the season of Fukui with your wife ✨. 遥瑛チチHi Gyve 😃
Sake & Cafe Bar is an interesting place ❗️
I'll keep it in mind! ジャイヴGood morning, Haruei Chichi!
This concept is exactly what I wanted to do in the future, so I learned a lot ✨.
It's only a 5 minute walk from Fukui station, so please visit us when you get to the Tsuruga extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line 😁. MayukoHi Jive,☺️ sake and coffee❣️ what a great combination 🥰 and coffee ☕️ to end the day is really nice💓. I see you want to open a store in the future😄I'll be there when you open‼️😊. ジャイヴHello Mayuko!
It's a rare combination, so it's very useful when you want to have a light drink during the daytime on your day off 😁.
The restaurant is still a long way off, but if you do, please let me know 🙇. ジャイヴ［Second cup at SHIMA coofee & sakes 🍶.
I've been drinking since noon today, and I had the idea of drinking good sake, so this is my next drink 😁.
Mie is "Jikin Junmai Ginjo Asahi" by Kiyamasa Shuzo!
Rich rice aroma, strong acidity on the palate, thin umami, firm sweetness, sharp and pleasant aftertaste.
As you get used to drinking it, the umami and sweetness explode, changing to a gorgeous taste and lingering finish.
Now, I'm satisfied, I'm off to my in-laws' house 🚉.
The fourth one is a craft beer from Kyoto 🍺 at Awatachi, where we stopped by before SHIMA again!
Zeek Jikon added 🎨 at 20230820 ma-ki-Hi Jive, hello here too.
I've never had Jikin Asahi 💧.
Jikin is one of the sake that got me into the sake swamp, so I'd love to try this one someday ✨
Have a safe trip back home 🚃💨! ポンちゃんHi Gyve, good evening 🌙
Keep up the good drinking ❣️ Great warm up before you go back home 😆👍Take care 👋😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Gyve 😃.
Your wife has been very gracious to have a nice lunchtime drink with two quick good drinks 🍶 in a row 🤗. ジャイヴGood evening to you too, ma-ki-chan🌛.
I made my debut of "Jikin" for the first time this year, and it is one level different from the sake I have been drinking so far 😋.
I arrived at my parents-in-law's house without getting drunk 🏡. ジャイヴGood evening, Ponchan 🌛.
There were other tempting drinks in the showcase, but I prioritized the ones that would run out if I didn't drink them soon 😁.
We are now entering my in-laws' house with a nice, tipsy feeling 😙. ジャイヴGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
It was an occasional service time, so we were pampered and had a leisurely lunchtime drink 😁.
There was also "Senkou Kuwagata" but we'll have to wait for another time☺. ジャイヴI got a day off after a business trip, so I went back to my parents-in-law's house to greet the Bon Festival.
Wife and kids went to play with cousins first, and I took the train later 🚉.
I got off the train in front of Fukui station and picked up some souvenirs at the only department store in Fukui.
Then, I knew I had to go to the sake bar I had always wanted to go to, so I came to SHIMA & COFFEE & SAKE!
This is a store that focuses on sake from outside of Fukui Prefecture, so I found this in the showcase with high expectations 💡.
Katsuma Junmai Ginjo" from Seito Shuzo Brewery in Toyama!
Aroma of full rice, fresh and clear flavor, sweetness, slight bitterness at the back of the throat, and a pleasant noiseless aftertaste.
I think this may be the first sake that I have ever enjoyed so deeply and immersed myself in its deliciousness.
No wonder it is so popular 😁.
The 4th picture is a black beer and smoked fish set (🍺) at Awatachi, a stand-up craft beer bar we stopped by before SHIMA. ma-ki-Hi, Jive.
I think an unscheduled tipple before returning home sounds a bit exciting 🎵.
I haven't had Katsuma yet, but your post made me suddenly want to drink it ✨.
A glass of beer before sake would be superb on a hot day 🍻. 麺酒王Hi Gyve 😃
Gyve always works hard at work etc., you got an unexpected reward from your wife ❗
Katsikoma for the first shot is a luxury ✨. ジャイヴGood evening, ma-ki-san🌛.
I heard that "Kachikoma" focuses on local and traditional customers, so it is hard to find it in many places 😅.
If you see it at a bar or barbecue ✨ ジャイヴGood evening, Noodle Sake King 🌛.
I'm so glad I was especially busy this week 😁 I saw on your instagram that you had a small amount left, so when I walked in and checked my podols, I ordered them immediately 😆. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
