boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party ⑫
Here is a drink from the restaurant
I haven't had Gikyou Haruha for a very long time.
It has a beautiful taste, but the rice flavor and a little bit of richness.
Not too sweet but not too spicy either.
I think it's a perfect food sake 🤔.
I think I forgot to drink the sake that I brought with me 😿.
Oh, no? I was looking forward to Robin's sake but he didn't bring it 🤣.
I was hoping he would buy it when he and Yoohee went to the liquor store in the morning 🤣.
When I left the store, it was still 3pm and very bright 🤣.
I asked my mom to take a photo of me 📸.
I used my in-camera to get a good shot of myself 😸.
We said goodbye to those who were leaving and went to the after-party with Robin, Yoohee, pyonpyon, Pon-chan, Yasube, Eiji, and Kan.
It was rare to see Pon-chan at the second party, and it was also rare to see Yasubeyesan without Kaorin 😁.
For some unknown reason, I couldn't order sake even though there was sake in the fridge, so I made a highball with 4L of whiskey that Robin-san kept 🤣.
To be continued ポンちゃんbouken, sorry for the persistence 🙇.
I was so happy to be able to go to the second meeting 😆 I managed to catch the bus that I usually miss 👍Thank you so much for starting so early 😊🙏🙏. boukenPon-chan, thanks again 🤣
I suggested that we should start earlier to get more people. I suggested it 😽.
It was worth the early start time 😊. ロビンbouken-san, good evening 😃Aun, the proprietress said she would serve all-you-can-drink sake, so I didn't bring any 🙇You all brought so much that I hardly drank any of the all-you-can-drink 🍶💦Next time let's do it endlessly from noon on 🤣. boukenGood evening, Mr. Robin.
So that was the reason 😳 excuse me💦.
Well, I didn't drink the cash-on drinks either 😅.
I would love to drink until the last minute at Aunden 😆. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (11)
Sake brought by Umaisan.
It was a gift from a sake brewer as a thank-you for participating in the Japanese Sake Festival as a staff member.
Fruity, sweet, delicious, and a little spicy.
It has both the flamboyance of daiginjo and the acidity of white malted rice.
It's a collaboration product with Fist of the North Star, and if you buy it, it's going to cost you a pretty good price 🤔.
I heard they also have Aizan in addition to the white malted rice. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party 10
Mama-san forgot to serve the sake! The sake that came out somewhat toward the end of the party!
I thought it was a sake I didn't know, but it was from the Seven Crown Horse Brewery!
A faint and elegant ginjo aroma
The taste is clean and refreshing.
Fruity in the first half but quite spicy in the second half
I think some people were drinking this heated 😁.
I haven't had it heated myself, but it's not a modern type of daiginjo, so I think it would go well heated 🤔. ポンちゃんbouken, sorry to bother you so often 😊.
I see that the last one, the heated one, was this one! It was easy to drink and very tasty 😋.
bouken's review reminded me of many things and inspired me to write 🙏. boukenPon-chan, thanks again 😁.
I didn't drink it myself, but I heard a conversation about Daiginjo but heated up! I heard a conversation like that, so I guess this is it 🤔.
I'm posting this in a hurry because I have to write something other than my impressions of the sake before I forget 🤣. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (9)
I tried to drink one of the several bottles of sake that Mama offered me, saying that I should drink the half-full bottle left at the restaurant.
I thought it was the first time to drink Junmai Ginjo, but I had already had it in the past😅.
It's calm and serene, but gorgeously fruity.
I think it's a good price for a classic 🤔. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party 8
Sake brought by Pon-chan.
I know it's delicious, but I don't have a chance to drink it because there is no store near Mt.
There is a store near Umeda that sells it, but they don't carry it all the time.
It's sweet, fruity and juicy.
It's right in the middle of my favorite.
Enasan is delicious after all! ポンちゃんbouken, here you go too😊.
Thanks for the drink 🙏 I forgot to drink it 🤣 did it feel the same as Cheers? boukenThanks Ponchan 😁.
I didn't realize the person who brought it to you didn't drink it 😳
I have the impression that the taste hasn't changed much, just the label and the price 🤔. 
boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (7)
I brought my own sake.
Rice is Gin no Yume.
I bought it at a sake contest in October, and I was going to open it at the last minute, but I missed the timing and thought it might be for New Year's 😅. I thought it might be for New Year's 😅.
It's sweet and tasty like a pineapple, but it has an astringent taste in the second half, so it's not a heavy sweet taste, but it's good!
I think Yoohee said something about this astringency being good 🤔.
Other CEL24s are too sweet.
I took a picture of it for home drinking, but forgot to take it at the restaurant, so I borrowed a picture taken by Umaisan💦. ポンちゃんHello, bouken 🐦.
I see you were the one who made this sake bouken! It was so good I had to have another 😆🙏 I've only had the regular Niyodogawa so I was surprised at the taste👍
Thanks for the food ❣️ boukenHello Pon-chan ☀☀☀
I thought everyone would bring something good, so I brought a little something good that I missed the timing to drink 😁.
CEL24 is famous for Kameizumi, but each brewery has its own personality 😆. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (6)
Sake from the all-you-can-drink menu
Cold sake. Quite a classic style!
I thought it should be room temperature or heated.
When I drank it before, I had the impression that it was a more beautiful sake, so I think it is the type of sake that changes completely depending on the temperature range.
I'd like to try Kurehaaru's Tokugin and Daiginjo.
On a side note, I was shocked to learn that the Yoshida Sake Brewery, which brews the same Ikeda sake, Midori-ichi, recently went out of business!
I once bought a special honjozo sake, but I've never been able to find it at the Daimaru Peacock in Senri-Chuo, which is no longer there. I regret that I should have bought it. I regret that I should have bought it. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (5)
Sake brought by Yasube (2)
Next is Yamae Nishiki!
It is similar to Miyamanishiki, but less sweet and more refreshing.
I thought Wada Ryutosui would be Matsuchiyosan's favorite 😁. まつちよGood evening bouken🍶.
I haven't had that Wadaryu, but I like a lot of Yamae Nishiki sake 🌾. boukenHi Matsuchiyo-san ☂️
I thought the first Miyamanishiki was more to your liking 🤔.
I thought I caught a glimpse of a little bit of Okuharima in it 😸. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party ④
Sake brought by Yasube (1)
He remembered that I had said I wanted to try Wada Ryutosui, so he brought it to me 🙏.
He said he brought two kinds of sake to compare with different rice.
Strong style. We were talking about how it doesn't look like Ueda's sake.
The aroma is unique and interesting.
Sweetness comes out as the temperature rises.
I like it best at room temperature.
Personally, I thought it was like Gifu's sake 🤔. ヤスベェHi bouken 😀
I did my favorite bouken challenge again 🤣!
After all, it was a bit different nuance from the Nagano sake flavor line that we often get 😀. boukenHello Yasbay 😊
Thank you for the challenge 🙏.
It was a delicious sake, but very different type from the Nagano sake I imagine 🤔.
It's interesting to discover such things 🧐. boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (3)
Nabeshima brought by kan-san
It's been a long time since I've had Nabeshima itself!
Since I drank Summer Moon at a restaurant I went to with Nemuchi-san and Umai-san after last year's Japanese Sake Festival.
Unlike Nabeshima, which gives the impression of being fruity and sweet, this sake has a calm and slightly sweet taste, but it's a little more light and dry than Nabeshima.
I've heard people say it doesn't taste like Nabeshima, but maybe it's because it's labeled as a "classic" sake, or maybe it's because it's a mild food sake. ヤスベェKobe Off-line Meeting Digest
We had a lot of Saga sake at the Osaka Monorail Saga Sake Event on Saturday, and on Sunday we attended the Kobe Off-line Meeting 😀.
The restaurant had prepared quite a bit of all-you-can-drink, but all that caught my eye was the sake that everyone brought 🤣.
We had so much Saga Sake the day before, and today I'm still eyeing the Saga Sake 😀.
Sake that is hard to find, such as Nabeshima's Junmai Daiginjo and Mitsutake's Junmai Daiginjo, one after the other 😇!
By the way, a member of Mitsutake's brewery was at the Osaka Monorail event 😀 I believe he volunteered at the Japanese Sake Fest.
I was a volunteer at the Japanese Sake Festival, and I think Umaisan was in charge of the event, but the brewery owner came to greet me at the event 😇.
I was surprised that they noticed me so well 🤣.
Mitsutake-san only participates in the Autumn Sake Festival, but he is a very interesting person, so please come to next year's Autumn Sake Festival in Osaka 😀. ロビンGood morning, Yasbay, ❗️
Thank you for participating in the off-line meeting.
It is great fun when sake lovers get together and drink together. We enjoyed all the 👍sakes you brought 🤣. ヤスベェHi Robin 😀
Thank you very much for your help 🙏.
You all get into it every time you bring it in😇.
I had so much fun that I forgot to take pictures or write them down, so all the pictures this time are borrowed from you guys 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbaye 😃.
That was a fulfilling sake weekend 🍶😊Yasbaye, you are extensively active and may be recognized by many breweries 🤗Great 👍. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
It was a very intense 2 days of sake activities that I thoroughly enjoyed 😇.
As I thought, thanks to being a volunteer staff member at the Japanese Sake Fests in succession, I was able to get to know many people from various breweries 😀. ポンちゃんYasbay, I know I'm late but thank you so much for the year-end party😊🙏.
It was the day after you drank so much🤣I drank one delicious drink after another and had nothing but delicious food 😂Thank you for the food 🙏. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon 😀
Thank you very much 🙏.
It's no problem to have a good drink with a fun group of people 😇.
I look forward to seeing you again after the new year😇 boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (2)
This is the sake of the restaurant
Tasake (rice wine) was included in the all-you-can-drink menu!
It's been a long time since I drank it.
I had the unopened bottle opened 😆.
Was it this sweet? I thought.
It felt like a clean apple-like sweetness 🍏.
Everyone told me it tasted like this before😅.
I've only had special junmai outside and only drank it a few days after opening, so I guess I don't know the original taste 🤔. 
boukenSake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party (1)
The Kobe Off-line meeting was held on a smaller scale, but Robin wanted to hold a year-end party this time, so we asked her to hold it for us and it was a full house 🎊🥳.
The participants were
Mr. Robin
Umaumai Umaumai
Kyuzo-san
Pon-chan
Mr. Yoohee
Mr. pyonpyon
Mr. kan
Yasube
Kaorin
Mr. Ofuji
Mr. Ijji
My 12
The party was held at Robin's favorite restaurant, Aun 🎉.
You can bring your own drinks and drink as much as you want!
Very early start at 12:30 in the afternoon 🤣.
First up was Yoohee's sake, which he had announced in advance that he would bring pre-prepared sake!
Yoohee-san drank a freshly opened bottle that he bought at a liquor store right before the year-end party.
It was still fruity and sweet, but also a little bitter.
Compared to other sake I've had in the past, this one seemed more mature.
The photo of the food was taken by Pon-chan. ロビンGood morning, bouken-san 😁Thanks for your hard work in organizing the offline meeting 😁Yuhee-san's Jigokin was delicious 👍Yuhee-san took me to Sugatonosan and gave me a lecture on how to buy it so I can buy Jigokin too 🤣. ポンちゃんThank you bouken for the Kobe Year-End Party😊.
Thank you for starting at this time 🙏I felt immoral to drink in the light 🤣You opened your restaurant early 🥹Thank you mom for the delicious food too ✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, bouken!
Kansai Sake no Wawa Kai is fun with many different groups... and it starts at noon ‼️ that might be good too 😙 but the end time is the same as usual 😆. boukenRobin, thank you for your hard work as secretary 🙇.
It's been a while since I drank Jikin, but it's delicious 😋.
I saw your bag, but I thought it's too hard for me to get pre-sake unless I buy that much every time 😅. boukenThank you for coming, Ponchan 🙇 I'm sure you'll have a great time getting home if you start early 😆.
They are usually closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but if you have a reservation, they will be open 🤔.
The food was delicious, with flavors that went well with the drinks 😋. boukenHello Jay & Nobby, 🌦️
We started early to encourage as many people as possible to come to Kobe 😊.
We were able to get to the 3rd party because of the early hour😇 ロビンSecond Rare Sake Drinking Party
We got a pink label of Modified Nobukou.
This one is also corked with a crown, so it's the one you drink up when you open it🤣.
This sake is sweeter than the other one.
It was super fizzy and had a hint of gas in it 💦 It's been about 3 years since it was made, so I guess it's to be expected, but I enjoyed a slightly different Shinsei.
I really want to try it when it's fresh 😁. ロビンThere was a rare sake that we had 😊.
I corked it with a crown so that I could drink it up once I opened it💦.
It was a bit of a sipping experience, but there was not much of a schwirling sensation.
It smells of rice and is very easy to drink due to its low alcohol content.
As it approached room temperature, the sourness increased and it tasted different 😁. ロビンToyo Bijin is my favorite brand, but this is the best match for me👍.
It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and is refreshing to drink. I am glad it is slightly carbonated.
In the end, I contributed more than half by myself🤣. ロビンI was drinking Koi Omachi thinking it was dark Omachi again 🤣.
Actually, I'm not a fan of Omachi, but I was tired from work or ❗️ wanted something darker.
It is actually very thick 👍.
I don't know if it's the rice or what, but it's a little sweeter and more refined than regular omachi 🙄.
I was expecting it to be rougher, but the richness outweighed it 😁. ロビンI had a bottle of spring sake in early summer 🤣.
My image of Mitsui no Kotobuki is that it is rather classical and easy to drink.
but this is something else 💦.
I like this one, it's a little bit sweet and still has a fizziness to it.
The taste is sweet, but not too sweet, and easy to drink.
The aroma and taste remind me of flowers, typical of spring sake👍.
Wish I had drunk it earlier 🤣. ロビンThe final drink of the Kochi Fair was a refreshing cup of Tosatsuru, but it was not as refreshing as the name suggests.
This sake is also as dry as I imagined it would be, and I thought it would probably be a second attempt at Tsukibotan, so I drank it in the hiya 🤣. ロビンWe often see glass cups, but paper cups? I don't often see glass cups, but paper cups 💦 smell dangerous just by looking at them.
The top lid is silver paper, so I don't know if some people drink it with a straw 🙄.
The taste is as dry as I imagined, and when I had it heated up to try it, the people around me were surprised at the strong alcoholic aroma 🤣.
I recommend drinking it as it is as a hiya-zake 👍 RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
