boukenMeeting around TOMO 2024①.
Since Tomo-san was coming to Osaka, we had a party with him at Ojisan and Sake, which has become a regular event of the Kansai Off-line Meeting.
Last year, it was a weekday, so I couldn't join the party.
The participants were
Tomo, Pon-chan, Rafa, Rutemi, Hirupeko and me.
I'm sorry we arrived just before (or after?) the start of the party, just like the last time we had a party with Mr. Gura at this restaurant. Sorry for arriving at the last minute.
I guess the proximity to Higobashi makes people let their guard down 🙄.
The toast was Tomo's choice of Jyukyu 😊.
The specs of Jyuukyu are not always listed on the label, but according to the information from the liquor store, it has the following
Sake is a junmai daiginjo with a rice polishing ratio of 45%, Kinmon-Nishiki M310 yeast, Sake strength of -6.03, acidity of 2.6, and is bottle heated and fire-aged.
The one I've had in the past had an orange animal, but because it's Kinmon-nishiki? It's golden. The previous one was Hitogokochi with different specs 🤔.
It's fire-aged but gorgeous, fruity, sweet and juicy and delicious 😋.
The introduction of the sake shop says it's a "summer over" sake, so I wonder if it's a hiyaoroshi type of sake?
I thought I haven't had it recently, but it's been 3 years since I last had it 😅. tomoさんHello bouken😃.
Thank you for the offline meeting 😊.
This was my first time to have a nineteen with this label and I'm glad I didn't miss the 🥂 sake 😁. ポンちゃんThank you for your hard work, bouken-san 😊.
I guess you were in high spirits after Icoma-san's party, so we had a lot of fun with black from the very beginning 😆.
I was very happy because it was the first time for me to drink the 19 😻. boukenGood morning TOMO 🌅.
Thank you for the other day😊.
I'm not sure about the toast 🥂.
It's been a while since I had a nineteen drink 😆. boukenThanks for the offline meeting, Ponchan 🙇.
It usually comes out when my memory becomes doubtful, but it was black from the beginning 🙄.
Takimoto-san also has it, but it sells out rather quickly, so I don't come across it often 💦. 
ゆーへーReport 10📝 on Mr. Gura's welcome party
The last? is my personal favorite summer sake in Sanin, Gassan🍉.
It flows like water and is not sticky at all.
I think I drank a few others as we moved around the table, but I have no further record of them 💧.
This time we had plans for later, so Gula and I said we'd see each other again in Fukuoka and split up ✨.
It was an offline meeting where I was able to drink brands that I don't drink myself and was inspired once again 💡. ポンちゃんThanks for the off-line meeting report, Yoohee-san 😊.
I see many of you drank this drink! I regret that I didn't drink it 😢.
I'm really looking forward to drinking the one you chose for the offline meeting 😁. boukenYoohee, thanks for posting offline 😆.
It was the beginning of June and there was a lot of summer sake 😅.
I don't like many summer liquors because they are too refreshing, but I thought it's not good to hate them by drinking them at offline meetings 😊. ゆーへーPonchan Hi ☀︎
I was only at the first meeting this time, so I didn't get to drink that many kinds of drinks, but I was able to keep notes so it was easy to look back 📝.
I enjoy drinking while learning from you guys and I can't stop ✨. ゆーへーbouken Hello ☀︎
I'm glad I was able to finish my post this time 👍.
It's true that the summer and fall months are kind of like the off-season, so it's fun to see how each brewery is trying to get people to drink their wines ✨. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 9📝.
I did not even know there was a brand name Kurumazaka in Wakayama.
I was lured by the words "aged at room temperature for 20 years" and decided to try it 💡.
I was surprised to find out that it is not so different from Shaoxing sake with less sweetness.., ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 8📝.
Next is Shikishima, who is famous for being a bit peculiar.
It has a strong flavor and seems to go well with meat dishes.
Personally, I prefer a flavor as distinct as this one 💡.
I had another spec Shikishima waiting for me at home, so it was a good reading comparison 🙆. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 7📝.
Shichida is my personal top choice of Saga sake.
It has a sweetness like Wasanbon that flows right through 🌀
The label also gives a summery blue sky feel to this bottle. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 6📝.
Next is Shibaurachu, which at one time was a hot topic due to the small number of stores that carried it.
This season, the production volume may have increased, and it is now easier to get it even in Kansai👍.
It is easy to drink like water, with a slight bitterness at the end💨.
This one also seems to be shaken for summer sake. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 5📝.
Next up is the local Yokoyama summer jungin (summer pure gin), which I have been drinking every year for some reason.
As you can see from the label, it's a clear and rummy 💨.
If you like the usual sweetness and aroma, this may not be for you 💡. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 4📝.
Next, we chose Yamori's summer sake🦎.
I felt the bitterness and pulled away 💨
A little bit light in taste, but it's a summer sake so it can't be helped 💧. ゆーへーReport on Mr. Gura's welcome party 3📝.
Followed by a rare rainfall ☔️
I think it was sold exclusively at a liquor store somewhere..,
It was not my favorite because it had a strong sour and bitter taste. ゆーへーReport on the welcome party for Mr. Gura 2📝.
From now on, we will borrow your photos (especially those of Mr. Sakeran) 🤳.
Next is the big sake cup.
The jacket looks like a wartime illustration and conveys a bit of fear: ⚡️
The taste is very lactic acidic, which I personally like, so I was able to drink it smoothly👍. 
ゆーへーReport on the welcome party for Mr. Gura 1📝.
I've skipped posting for about two weeks again💧.
I will do my best to pack it in during the Bon 💨
Here is a report on the welcome party for Gula, who came to Osaka again this year in June: ✏️
The last Kansai Chapter New Year's party was held at Uncle and Sake 🏬.
When I got off at Higobashi station, I was in a bit of a hurry as it looked like I was just in time for the meeting, and I met up with Nemuchi-san.
After that, we were seated close to each other and he told me "There's hana-yosu ❗️" and I said "That's nice!" and we ended up toasting sake 💡.
It tasted like a pineapple in my mouth and did not betray my expectations 🍍. boukenGood evening, Mr. Yoohee.
Finally reached June 😁.
Sorry I was late for the meeting 🙇.
You were lucky to be able to drink this 😋. ゆーへーGood morning bouken-san ☀︎
It's getting hotter and hotter, and I'm drinking less sake, so I think I'll be able to catch up during the Bon Festival 💡.
It's one of the brands we're thankful for here in Hyogo ✨.

This is the last 20 drinks🍶.
You all can review this much in one day, but if an amateur started doing it, this is how it would be💧.
This is also my first time sharing Sawanoizumi 💡.
I thought it was dry on the palate, but the umami gradually spread and I enjoyed the surprisingly robust flavor ✨.
I'm so grateful to be able to get a bottle of Sendai's Sake Kawashima's special order in Osaka 🙌!
The master's love of sake was evident in the store, as he stocks his own special sake from all over the country👍.
After the party, bouken and I stopped by our usual liquor store and bought some cat sake that was handed to us before we knew it 😹.
It was a great day drinking with everyone.
*Thanks for the photos of everyone 📷 ワカ太Good evening, Mr. Yoohee😃I see that Sawanoizumi is available in Osaka 😳This is actually the brewery closest to my parents' house. I was under the impression that it was only distributed locally, but I was surprised to see that it has even made its way to the Kansai region: ‼️ マルThanks for the New Year's party report, Yoohee 😊.
I hope you enjoyed the New Year's party👍
Next is the welcome party for Gula-san?
Good luck 💪🤣. ゆーへーGood evening, Mr. Wakata. ⭐︎
I think the master of chuin probably purchased it directly from Mr. Kawashima of sake 💡.
Just hearing that the brewery is near Wakata-san's parents' house makes me feel amazingly close to him✨. ゆーへーGood morning, Maru. ☀︎
Well, the New Year's party was fun ✨.
Oh yeah, before I go, I have my own reviews left for March, April, and May MARU, so I'll be a ghost club member if I don't post them in a rush 💦. ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 7️⃣
We decided to have Osaka sake at the end of the party🌸
It is called Yamahai, which means "mountain waste", and it has a deep flavor with a lot of umami.
I've been drinking a lot of smooth sakes, so drinking them in this order makes a strong statement👍.
I wish I had known about this brewery when I lived in Osaka 💧. ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 6️⃣
Next up was the Takagami🐉 Goddess of the Sea
Kanji was too difficult to come up with💧.
I didn't know that Takachiyo's brewery was serving it in Arzoe.
It's very refreshing to drink and flows smoothly.
The name may be cool, but the label is simple and cut-out style. superbebeGood evening, Mr. Yoohee.
Let's see..,
I'm presbyopic.
How do you pronounce this furball-like kanji?
I can't read it 🤣🤣. ゆーへーGood evening, superbebe. ⭐︎
I've never seen "Ryu" like this before either 👀.
I'm surprised it didn't come up when I tried to convert it to something else 💧.
I'm surprised it didn't come up when I converted it 💦. ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 5️⃣
You know I have a weakness for the word "limited", you don't have to emphasize it so much lol.
Flower letters like the ones in the frame of a fine Chinese restaurant🪷.
Upon closer inspection, it was an oriental beauty✨
The ginjo aroma spreads quickly and the sweetness is quite firm.
Definitely a gift 👍 ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 4️⃣
The name sounds like a fictitious stage name, played by a comedian 💡.
This year it's Yamagata Masamune, so we have high expectations ✨.
The taste is clean for a Junmai and flows smoothly.
What? If you've had this many chanpons, you've all had the same impression, right? ワカ太Good evening, Yoohee 😃Thank you for your kind review of the New Year's party💕I don't even remember much of what I drank at the New Year's party, so I appreciate you posting it😊But this was really delicious and smooth ‼️ ゆーへーGood evening, Wakata. ⭐︎
I should have taken more detailed notes on the label illustration.
The illustration on the label is cute, I might try this series next time I have the chance ✨. ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 3️⃣
I've been slacking off quite a bit, so I'll pick up the pace 💨
I had the impression that Hidakami's Gin no Iroha was quite tasty when I drank it, but what about Atago's Matsu?
There is not that much fruitiness in the fruit house, and the impression is quite smooth and flows like water.
I was surprised that they have Junmai Daiginjo at Atago no Matsuri 👀.
I wonder where they differentiate themselves from Hakurakusei? boukenHi Yoohee 😃
Atago no matsu (Atago's pine) is probably the traditional brand, but it seems that the distributors are different from each other...
I've seen Atago no Matsuri in some of the liquor stores in town 🤔. ゆーへーbouken Good evening. ⭐︎
I see, so many of them are written in hiragana, but they were originally sold in kanji.
I think Sumino contains both brands, but it is true that Hakurakusei is less frequent.

The rarely seen instrument Masamune 🎵
This is the rumored Honjozo...,
The sweetness of the alcohol and the sensation of being able to drink it all off the palate is unbelievably delicious👍.
If all the sake sold in supermarkets were made from this, sake consumption would definitely go up. ⤴️ マルGood evening, Mr. Yoohee 🌔.
Surprised? I don't see a store near you that sells Gakki 😳
If you can buy it in the supermarket, your sake consumption will really go up 🤣 and the cost is crazy 🤣. boukenGood evening, Yoohee 😃.
Well, Hyogo doesn't have any stores that sell Gakky 😢I think if the big manufacturers get serious they could sell this kind of sake in the supermarkets, but the local sake breweries would be eliminated 🤔. ゆーへーMaru-san, good evening. ⭐︎
Yes, I'm so jealous of how everyone seems to be enjoying uploading their pictures, I'm always watching with my fingers in my mouth 👀.
I'm sure someone will say that not everything has to be good 💦💦 lol ゆーへーbouken Good evening ⭐︎
Yes, I wonder if the mysterious cheese shop would carry it 🧀 lol
The sake industry has strong horizontal ties, so I wonder if they are looking out for each other's coexistence and co-prosperity 💧.
The seriousness of the big players is scary💦. YSTJHanamup Riku Haneda.
Sake with my uncle who was visiting the restaurant for the first time on account of his business trip to Osaka.
The first sake we had was Hanamup. Rikuwada is a rice grown by the Takagi Sake Brewery, and Ryoseki Sake Brewery is the only brewery in the country that uses this rice.
It is delicious with a strong core of rice flavor! ポンちゃんHi YSTJ 🐦.
I see you and your uncle went to Sake 😳They have a good selection here 😊I used it continuously in offline meetings🎶.
I would drink it if I could find it 😁. YSTJHello, Pon!
I see that this is where you all are meeting off-line! I was able to bring my coworkers into the world of sake with the varied lineup 😄. ゆーへーSAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 1️⃣ 1️⃣
Next is Kamo Nishiki, which has a large number of them.
Yellow Narcissus 🟡 this time.
I think the flower logo is Japanese style and the image matches the label's packing slip💡.
The ginjo aroma comes on quickly and flows like water.
Even when drunk, it's easy to drink ✨. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
