ヤスベェSpring Sake & Nigorinpic0️⃣ 5️⃣Continuing from yesterday, today we had a Botan from Mr. Wakamusume 😀
I can't wait to see how it differs from yesterday's Wakamusume's light nigori supernatant😇.
The first attack was less tangy than the nigori supernatant, but instead conveyed a solid fruitiness 😀.
So far, it's probably a matter of taste, but I prefer the light nigori with stronger acidity and piquancy😇.
If you like a mild fruity taste, I'm sure you will prefer this one 🤣.
Still, it was a great shock to see such a difference in taste between Wakamusume's nigori supernatant and a non-nigori sake with the same specs 😅.
I'd like to dig a little deeper into this very nice sake 😀. Rafa papaGood morning Yasbay 😃
It's strange how the same specs of the same brand can taste different 😳I wonder if it's a difference you can tell because you've compared the drinks😊It sounds like fun to feel the subtle differences👍. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😀
I could only tell the difference because I drank it on different days 🤣.
Maybe the sweetness and piquancy is at the level of the difference after a few days of opening the bottle 😅.
But I'm glad we could compare the difference 😇 ポンちゃんHello Yasube-san 🐦
I am envious of you just for being a wakamusume, but to be able to compare the two! Also, it's interesting to see the difference between the clear sake and nigori 😊I usually prefer the nigori one, but this mild fruity one is also very attractive 😻 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbaye 😃.
Today I was inspired by Yasubeyesan 😆 I went on a little expedition 🚙 to a liquor store a little far from here.
I got the 12 secret colors of "Wakamusume" that was at Las One👍. ヤスベェHi Ponchan 😀
Definitely, I think both sakes are to your liking 😇.
If I may say so, I think the nigori one will get closer to the taste of the clear sake as time goes by after opening the bottle, so it will be fun to see the taste change 😇. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
That's what I'm talking about 😀.
The more time you spend on your drinks, the more the sake gods smile on you😇.
I'm looking forward to your comments as I want to catch up with Wakamusume-san when I'm done with this drinking contest too 😀. Masaaki SapporoGood evening, Yasube-san! I enjoy reading your review of the same brand, although I tend to give priority to the "ogurigami" type when purchasing ✨. ヤスベェSpring Sake & Nigorinpic0️⃣ 4️⃣
Today we had a light nigori called wakamusume super limited 😀.
This time we also have a regular sake with the exact same specs 😀.
First of all, this nigori... actually it's a sake from my hometown Yamaguchi prefecture, but it's my first time at Wakamusume😇.
Both have the same bready and fruity taste in the mouth, but I preferred the one that was mixed and lightly nigorized 😀.
Tomorrow I will have a regular spring sake of the same specs and I am looking forward to compare the taste with the supernatant 🤣. ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasube-san.
I'm sure the spring atmosphere will lift your spirits 🌸🌸I haven't tasted the Wakamusume, and it's light nigori ❣️ and it looks delicious 〰😻I saw the original for the first time the other day and was surprised at the price 😱I guess I should have splurged 🥹. Rafa papaGood morning Yasbaye 😃
Wakamusume... you have it at Haretoke 😳I've been wanting to try it 😊Thanks for the valuable information 🥹. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
Aside from the price, I thought it was a good drink to try at least once😇.
Especially Pon-chan, I think she would like it since she has similar tastes to our family 😀. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😀
Actually, the other day, I was at a Hanshin event and saw Shihu-san there, and when I asked where he sold his products, I was told it was Haretoke.
I found it by accident when I went to buy more of Shiatsu's work 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
Congratulations on your first Wakamusume ㊗️ 🎉!
I'm sure the sake from your hometown must be very special 🤗Please try my favorite hana-tachibana sometime 👋 ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby!
I'd like to try some of the sake from Wakamusume, so I'd like to visit Hana Tachibana someday 😇.
Still, there are a lot of sakes I'd like to try 🤣. bonchiClear and colorless with a slight hint of muffling. Fruity aroma reminiscent of peaches. The aroma is strong. Smooth mouthfeel. Mild acidity and astringency. Gentle drinking. The finish is sharp and short. Sake that is both refreshing and fragrant. 
ワカ太On the pink connection, I also had a drink a while back.
I visited a liquor store, Haretoke, for the first time when I went away for a bit.
I was excited to see so many drinks I had never seen before💕.
Now this Juhachimori is made from Asahi rice from Okayama prefecture.
The aroma is fresh and fruity. It was a delicious sake with a gentle but clean aftertaste 😋. ポンちゃんGood evening, Wakachan.
I've never seen this label before! Okayama has a lot of not so major but delicious sake ❣️ I'd love to try some 😊.
That's the best liquor store I've ever been to for the first time! I'm giddy🤣 アラジンGood evening, Wakata 😃.
Haretoke, I only go there when I definitely need to buy something because I feel like it's hard to leave without buying it, but the lineup is unique and good ☺️
I like the 18 Mori made with Asahi rice, but I didn't know they sold single-bottle 😳. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Wakata 😃.
It's really exciting to go to a new liquor store for the first time and see a different view 🤗I'd love to do a liquor store tour for the first time 😆. ワカ太Hi Pon-chan 😃I've never seen this label before and I was curious about it, so I bought a packet. I found a lot of that kind of sake at Haretke's 👍. ワカ太Hi Aladdin 😃You're right, Haretke's is cozy and you can't leave without doing something because they go all the way from the back to the cash register 💦Wife with the cute voice was manning the register when I was there. That's the one who knows everything: ❣️ ワカ太Hi Jay & Nobby 😃I'm just thinking about a liquor store tour with the sakewa folks, sounds like a lot of fun 😆 Definitely seems like it would be a long one door to door 😅. ヤスベェHi Wakata 😀
Congratulations on your first Haretoke-san: ㊗️
I also went to buy Ariiso Akebono-san at first, but recently I've been using it to buy Shihu, Wakamusume-san and Kuchiman-san 😀. ワカ太Good evening, Yasbaye 😃You're right, you're already a Haretke user 👍It's fun to meet so many different people at so many different liquor stores ✨. bonchiTransparent with a slight yellowish tinge. The full aroma is reminiscent of cotton candy and rice. The aroma is extremely weak. Smooth mouthfeel. Soft acetic acidity. After rolling around in the mouth for a long time, astringency and umami eventually appear. It has a medium lingering aftertaste with hints of golden sugar. It is a light mellow sake that tends to be more like a refreshing sake. bonchiI immediately warmed it up, and the aroma, which had been quiet earlier, rose, and the flavor became fuller. The aroma, which had been quiet earlier, was more lively, and the flavor was fuller. bonchiAlmost colorless and transparent. Slightly fruity aroma reminiscent of watermelon, lychee, grapes and pineapple. The intensity of the aroma is medium. The mouthfeel is smooth and mild. Weak, soft acidity and gentle astringency. Hints of plain yogurt. Medium lingering finish. A mellow sake. bonchiClear and colorless. Sweet aroma reminiscent of acacia. The intensity of the aroma is medium. Refreshing mouthfeel with a slight effervescence. Light and pleasant acidity. Exquisite balance of moderate sweetness and astringency. The aftertaste is relatively sharp and short. Refreshing sake. bonchiAs the store owner's POP says, "Please drink it without any alcohol," it is a dangerous wine with a light and lively taste that will make you want to drink it. bonchiOn the fourth day after opening the bottle, I tried heating it up, but the flavor lacked fullness and breadth. It was not good. It seems that this sake is made to be drunk quickly at a high temperature. boukenThe brewery is located in Toyama Prefecture, but it seems to have been severely damaged, so we drank and cheered.
Rice is Shunyo and Yuyamanishiki.
Yeast: Kanazawa yeast
Muscat flavor common to sake made with Shunyo. Slightly white wine-like 🤔.
I felt the slightly stronger bitterness and alu-ness at the end accented the taste. アラジンGood evening, bouken😄.
I like your support by drinking 👍.
I've never seen a sake with koji rice Oyamanishiki and kake rice Shunyo 😳.
I haven't smelled 4MP of Shunyo sake for a long time, so I can't wait to open my long-stored Yamazan no Kotobuki Freaks 2 😌. boukenGood morning Aladdin 😃
I had an image of 4MP alcohol as low alcohol, but this one is 17 degrees, so it's fresh and bold 😊.
Freaks 2 has been on my mind for a while too 😁. ヤスベェToday's sake is also a continuation of yesterday's sake, Ariiso Akebono, which survived the earthquake in Himi 😀 Yesterday's was a draft sake, but today it is a fire-brewed junmai-shu.
Yesterday it was a draft, but today it is a fire-aged junmai sake 😀.
Of course, we will be comparing the two sakes we opened yesterday, Ariiso Akebono and Nitoshi 😀.
Kaorin is separated from us again today, so we started the laboratory with 3 bottles side by side 😀.
With a wife, you can't play this kind of game very often 🤣.
At first I had them in hiya 😀.
As I thought, I liked the Ni-Utsuri's raw taste the best because it has a firm sweetness and umami flavor 😀.
The taste of Aiso Akebono was almost the same between the raw and the hiya 😀.
Then...I roasted 3 bottles at once in hot water up to 40 degrees Celsius 😀.
Unfortunately, Ni-Rabbit... I knew before I tried it but the taste was too chunky and the hiya was not sharp and tasty... Sorry for experimenting just because I knew what I was doing: 🙇♀️
I'm sorry for the experiment, I just knew what I was getting into........
However, the raw one was getting a bit sour, so today's Ariiso Akebono was the best when it was heated 😀.
This heated sake was delicious and I really hope the brewery will revive it soon 🙏. ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasbaye 🦉.
Great job on the sake you worked so hard on Nanao 😳and the lab continues 😆 I'm glad it tastes so good heated up 😊I hope it was worth the experiment 😁 and that you can revive it 🙏. アラジンGood evening, Yasube 😃Kaorin continue to take care of yourself 😌.
Drinking Ariiso Akebono and cheering for it, good for you. ☺️ It's also very interesting how the flavor opens up differently when heated up between the raw and the heated versions 😊The two hares...everything is a challenge 😁. こぞうMr. Yasube.
Good morning...
I love the sake lab 🤣
It's a little bit luxurious to compare sake, isn't it?
And it's not easy to open 3 kinds of sake at the same time! ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
Sorry...I made a mistake😅
Akebono is in Himi city, not Nanao 🙏.
We are neighbors though 🤣.
I have little experience with heating sake, but it was still the best heated sake I've ever had! ヤスベェAladdin, thank you for your concern 😀.
I'm a little more than happy to say that I finally managed to go a day without a fever 😀.
I really felt bad for Ni-rabbit because I knew that before the experiment 😅.
I'll make sure I end up with a proper hiya. ヤスベェHello, Koizo!
With Kaorin with me, it was a really good chance for me to take on such a drastic challenge 🤣. WOMMr. Yasube. Excuse me here as well. Yes, that's right. I think many small warehouses are structurally vulnerable to earthquakes. Himi, Niigata-Kashiwazaki, etc. also suffered damage. I hope everyone will come back! ヤスベェWOM, thank you too 😀.
I was impressed by the sake that survived amidst so much damage, most of it ruined 😀.
I hope all the sake breweries will come back 😀. ヤスベェHimi City, Toyama Prefecture
The tragic Hokuriku earthquake has focused on Ishikawa prefecture, but Himi city in Toyama prefecture was also severely damaged 😭.
This bottle is said to be one of the few remaining sake bottles from a brewery in Himi city where most of the bottles were broken 😅.
It's a bottle with a lot of vitality 😀.
I had it cold first, and this sake is unmistakably mellow 😀.
Then we compared it with Fusashimaya's light nigorigo which we opened yesterday 😀 We drank it both hiya and lukewarm.
The table top looked like a laboratory, but it turned out to be a delicious drinking comparison 😀.
We were especially surprised at the change in taste of Ariiso Akebono's sake when it was heated from cold to warmed up 😀.
It's tough when the wife is down, but it's fun to experiment with different types of sake 🤣. かおりんThank you all for your kind words of sympathy😊It's only the second day, so it's hard to get rid of the fever and I'm feeling lazy, but it's definitely better than yesterday. My husband is giving me a lot of trouble, but I'm glad to hear he's enjoying himself in his own way. ひるぺこKaorin-san, good evening 🌙I hope your symptoms have gradually calmed down. But for now, take it easy and rest, and when you are fully recovered, please enjoy the rest as much as you can 💪😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay 😃.
Drinking comparison of temperature changes in the lab! Sounds fun 😋.
Kaorin, I hope the fever 🤒 goes down first 😌 so that you can make a full recovery quickly and we can both enjoy a good drink 😊. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
It's like a laboratory 😁I also do whatever I want when I'm alone🤣I can't stop this 😆.
Kaorin, I'm sorry about your fever 🥺I hope you feel better and the laboratory becomes your normal table 🙏. ヤスベェThank you for your concern, Hirupeko 😀.
The fever was 38 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, but it seems to have gone down to less than 7 degrees this morning 😀.
I hope it doesn't spread to me 🤣. ヤスベェThank you for your concern, Jay & Nobby 😀
I am relieved to hear that the fever is slowly coming down 😀.
While I'm at it, I'm going to try a lot of temperature experiments in my secret lab 😀. ヤスベェThanks for your concern, Pon-chan 😀
I am relieved that Kaorin's fever seems to be over 😀.
I think I can continue this laboratory life for a few more days, so I'll try some things while I'm still here 😀. 
ゆーへーSchwarzwald and classy cherry pineapple.
No bitterness at the pull, refreshing.
After visiting Takamura Coffee, I decided to accompany bouken-san to his favorite restaurant, Haretoke, because it was within walking distance 👟.
It is a special store of Kamigawa Taisetsu, and they had quite a variety of it. ❄️
It was a bit out of season, but we wanted to try a draft sake, so we chose this one.
It was fresh and delicious ✨.
Next time I want to buy a few different kinds to compare 💡.
720 mL ¥ 2,530 アラジンHi Yoohee 😃
I think it is not walking distance from Takamura Coffee to Haretoke 🤔... 🤔 Wasn't it far?
Haretoke is a good liquor store with quite a variety of shops like Purple Space, Loman, Wakamusume, Tagaji, etc 🍶. ゆーへーGood evening, Aladdin. ⭐︎
Well, I thought I wouldn't be able to walk if it was that bad 💡.
Maybe I didn't feel it so much because I moved around while talking with bouken👟.
It's nice that they are open on Sundays too ⭕️ boukenGood evening, Mr. Yoohee!
I'm not afraid to walk one or two stops, so maybe I'm numb to the sensation 🤣I get bored on the way when I walk in bocce 🙄I'm put off by how expensive it is overall, but it's still delicious 😋. ゆーへーbouken Hello ☀︎
If there were several liquor stores within one or two stations, I would walk 👍.
I can't wait to get on the train when I buy a large quantity 💨
I'm sure it's delicious, but it's so expensive that I can't buy it often 💧. bonchiCloudy white color reminiscent of calpis. The aroma of rice malt. Aroma of freshly pounded rice cake. The aroma is strong. It has a sweet and sour taste. It has a doburoku-like acidity and a slightly strong astringency. The hint of vanilla and fresh cream. It has a medium aftertaste. Mellow sake. bonchiSlightly yellowish and slightly muffled transparency. Fruity aroma reminiscent of passion fruit and guava. Slightly spicy nose. The aroma is strong. Sweet, sour and juicy on the palate. The mouthfeel is a mix of juices with a hint of sourness. The aftertaste is relatively sharp with a medium aftertaste.
It is a dangerous sake that you will keep drinking even if you don't have anything to drink. bonchiTransparent with a slight yellowish tinge. A full aroma reminiscent of grains. Sweet aroma reminiscent of golden sugar. Aroma reminiscent of acetic acid acidity. The strength of the aroma is medium. Sweet and mellow mouthfeel reminiscent of brown sugar. Hints of cocoa and chocolate ice cream. It has a medium lingering finish with a moderate astringency. A mellow sake. 
boukenI had a good impression of the sake at the Takashimaya Sake Festival, so I bought it thinking that Haretoke had a bottle of nama-zake.
After meeting up with Mr. Yoohee at the liquor store where we bought Ko-Imari, we went to another liquor store together and bought it.
It has a gassy, citrus and muscat flavor. The overall impression is sharp and it finishes sharply.
The date is January this year, but there is no problem with the taste at all. I have the impression that Haretke is safe to buy even if the date is old.
Well, Hakuryu is also in Niigata, but it's confusing, isn't it? ジャイヴGood evening, bouken🌛.
I didn't know there was a "Hakuryu" in Niigata until I started drinking sake 😅.
And that one is made by the Hakuryu Brewery 🤔 easy to confuse 💦. boukenHi Gyve 😃
I think Yoshida sake brewery is probably more famous but I knew Hakuryu from Niigata first 😅I guess I would be mistaken because they even have the same kanji (Chinese characters) unlike Eikun and Eikun 💦. boukenIt is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu.
From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors.
For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor.
It is a very drinkable type of wine. 
boukenI thought I couldn't buy Iwanoi anymore since the Laox in Dotonbori closed, but recently I've seen on SNS that many new stores have started handling it. Are they doing a good job? Haretoke in my neighborhood started to carry it, so I bought it for the first time in a while.
They have a variety of products, but I chose So no Mai.
It is fruity but complex, with dryness and minerality. It also has a light gassy feeling.
I had a similar experience with Iwanoi, but I wonder if the minerality is due to the use of ultra-hard water. I think the taste is unique and has no comparison.
The higher the temperature, the stronger the taste becomes. あーる酒Nice to meet you, bouken😊.
I'm curious about your ultra-hard water drink! I like the playfulness of the 👀 barcode being in the shape of a virtuous 😆. boukenAaru Sake, nice to meet you😊Thank you for all your ♥🙇I don't know if the super hard water is affecting the taste, but it's unique 😁This barcode is cute 😆. boukenAs the name "tropical" suggests, it has a rich fruity sweetness and flavor. The slightly bitter taste at the end is a nice accent.
The label is just cute.
It tastes more tropical after a while than when it is just opened. えりりんMr. bouken, konbanhaha!
The label is so cute!
boukenGood evening, Eririn 😄.
I almost bought a packet of this 😅.
But it tasted 👍 too! ポンちゃんGood evening, bouken!
Wakamusume, such a pop label & name ❤️Tastes tropical and I want to drink it too 🎶. boukenGood evening, Ponchan😄
I heard it's the first release in 2 years and I saw it for the first time 😊It's sweet but not too sweet and not too gory 🌴 It's well-balanced. マナチーbouken, I missed the timing to buy this one 😭I wanted to try it because it's named after the nickname of the toji, which is cute ☺️. boukenGood morning, Manachie 😀
Ah, Bunbun because it's Bunko 😁Wakamusume, you can't buy it if you miss the timing 😣. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
