I stopped by a standing bar I wanted to try once, and Koei Kiku was the place I wanted to drink again! There are so many!
So I drank all of them 😚😚😚.
Everything was delicious... delicious is all I can say...
They were all good!
The sake lees cream cheese snack was delicious too...
Hello Nonon-san 😃!
Hasegawa at Tokyo station is very useful when you use Shinkansen 🚅! They have Kouei Kiku's Taso-Oré 🍊 and the new one too 😋Great drink comparison 🤗.
Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby!
It's close to the 🚅ride and just right for a quick drink! We wanted to use it whenever possible in the future 🍶.
Koei Kiku, it was really delicious! 🤗

Spicy and umami with a solid weight 🤔.
This definitely goes well on the rocks!
Today, I had steamed scallion with sake,
It tasted a little too strong, so I just served it cold 😅.

I opened a bottle of this one that I had in stock 😁.
I bought this 🍶 at a liquor store without thinking because it's a spring sake.
It's delicious 🎉 Slight fizziness immediately followed by umami 😳.
Well, I'm glad ❗
It had a fruity aroma and a sweet, gentle mouthfeel. The aftertaste was clean and not too harsh, making it perfect for eating with scallops. Preference 4.0/5.0
Hate Masamune's Hasegawa Sake Shop Collaboration 🍶.
A brewer and salesman from Hato Masamune came to the store to give us a special sticker 😂.
This is Hanafuki🌾 sake 🍶.
The aroma on the nose is softly sweet with a hint of acidity.
The first aroma is a sweet aroma with a hint of acidity.
It is light and crisp.
Toyobai aficionado Upyon-san said it was like "apricot bean curd," and I also felt a unique aroma like apricot frost and a refreshing sweetness and acidity like lemon squeezed into syrup.
Maybe it's the fact that it's a fresh sake, but I thought the aroma was more gorgeous and tastier than last year's fire-aged Fukuro-huri 😊🕊️✨
The third one is a Hato Masamune special sticker given to me by a Hato Masamune brewer and sales person.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 🌆I see that you have also released a draft of this sake 🙃 I hope that Hasegawa-san's collaboration will make Hato even more famous: ☝️
Good evening! As expected of Matsuchiyo-san! Hats off to you for your simple yet delicate tasting impressions. The Hato Masamune raw sake was delicious!
Good evening, Uppion!
No, no, I also thought of Uppion's "apricot pudding" the moment I drank it 😊.
Hato Masamune also makes delicious sake, so if you get tired of Toyobai, please try it 😂🕊️
The first Ibaraki sake. The aroma was mild and a gentle sweetness spread with each sip. The ease of drinking is top class in my experience. I also found a good sake.

I skipped dinner because of bad timing,
Hungry in the middle of the night when the family is asleep😅
I opened a bottle of chashu and this one 😁.
Cork opened with a pleasant sound ❗
After the sourness, the sweetness and the depth of flavor...
Oh no 😁 too good 😁...
Sweetness and depth like honey
When I was impressed by myself, there was a guy who wanted to join me for dinner.
I was secretly watching 😆😆😆😆
Chashu pork
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Ingredient rice: Domaine Sakura Kame-no-o (100% Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture)
Alcohol content 13% (Unpasteurized)
I just saw this sake on YouTube and wanted to drink it. I had bought it because I felt I had never had sparkling sake before, but I had missed the opportunity to drink it.
So, without further ado, let's get to the sake!
It smells very sweet, like pears or muscats. It seems light. The carbonation was amazing, so much so that I was relieved that it didn't overflow. It's a perfect example of secondary fermentation in the bottle. The water has a very tight, slightly viscous mouthfeel, and the carbonation is sweet and strong! However, this is without nigori. When the nigori is included, the sweetness becomes milder, and the dryness and sweet-sourness marry like a white wine, and the bubbles quench the throat. The aftertaste is dry and crisp. If the wine is cloudy, it can be drunk as a strong white wine. If you want to drink it with cheese, strong flavored food or spicy food, it would be a good match. Sentori is delicious. Thank you very much for the food and drink tonight!

I had the "Suminoe" 👍 to go with the spare ribs.
Sour and dry at the same time 😆.
It's perfect as a food sake 😁.
Pork spare ribs with pak choi
Akaban Omachi rice is used.
There is a slight gassy feeling typical of Amami.
It has a grape-like aroma.
After opening the bottle, I drank it for three days, and on the third day, the gaseous sensation was reduced a little (there was a gassing sound when I opened the bottle), but the acidity did not become harsh, so you can feel its freshness.

"Tenbi in early summer is ready."
I went back two days later and to my surprise, there was a whole other kind called Hotaru-ten 😊.
Sake is a great way to enjoy the flavors and aromas of the different seasons, and once again, it's amazing!
And lucky for us, we were just about to run out of bottles,
The waitress made a nice suggestion 💓 that since we were just about to run out of bottles, we would split the bottles by opening the bottom and the top of the bottle.
I was so thankful to have it!
First, the opening!
Fresh and gassy, with a pleasant tingling sensation in the mouth!
The fruity aroma carries through to the nose while drinking!
This is certainly perfect for early summer!
Next, the bottom of the bottle
Totally different! It's almost like it's something else.
The gassiness has calmed down and the sweetness and bittersweet flavor are concentrated!
Both are delicious!
This drinking comparison is addicting 😊.
Good morning, Pinocchio!
Amami's blue label is lovely ✨.
And it's certainly addicting to be able to enjoy the taste changes over the days at a time by comparing the bottom and mouth opening drinks 😋.
What a cool idea by the store owner 🎵.
Sake is wonderful!
Good morning, ma-ki-! I met Tenmi for the first time again💓.
It's my first time to compare the bottom of the bottle and mouth opening drink and this is the way to enjoy it. I was able to have it at the right time😊🙏.
Hello, Pinocchio 😃.
Hotaru Ten! I've never seen it before ‼️ is it a new release 🤔
It's really good timing to drink and enjoy the double 🤗 for your reference too!
Hi Jay & Nobby! Timing is important when it comes to encountering sake too😊I'm looking forward to seeing when we'll see you next at the opening of the mouth and the bottom of the bottle🎵.
I realized in front of the store...
Oh, I forgot my phone!
I can't take a picture, and ordering is by QR code.
I couldn't go back home, so I told the waitress that I forgot my phone and she lent me the store's tablet 👌.
I ordered a Junmai Daiginjo from Amami.
It's still delicious, right on the money!
The sweetness and a little sourness spread on the palate along with a gassy feeling!
It's a stable taste!
I wish I could drink different kinds of Amami!
I was allowed to take this picture two days later, just as I was on my way back to my hometown 🙏.
And then I was sucked into the tasting room...
Hello, Pinoko-san!
Amami's Akaban Oumachi is delicious 😋.
My first Amami was from here, and I remember the gasiness and the gradation of flavors were very good 🤤.
I'd like to try different Amami's 😊.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-! I am looking forward to drinking the other types of wine! The timing and strength of the gaseous sensation is also pleasant 😊I look forward to drinking the other types!

I often visit the Tokyo Station Gransta Tokyo store.
I've been wanting to try it for a long time 😅.
I've been wanting to try this one for a while 🎉.
The aroma is strong and the flavor is intense 😳.
Fruity and delicious!

Today's golf game was a mess as I suffered from a frozen shoulder,
I was struggling with the pain 😅.
On the way back home, I had some chashu pork noodle soup at "Menya Oyama" 🍜.
The soup is delicious! Noodles are so good!
After returning home 🚘, I had this spring limited edition sake for dinner 😁.
Unlike the image of "instrument Masamune", it is dry and refreshing 🤔.
It is a refreshing and tasty sake👍

Hello Jay & Nobby! Thank you for everything. My doctor says that even if it hurts a bit, it's just rehab because it hardens my shoulder 😅.
I used the hand that holds the boar cup, the one that is not sore 😁.
