Purple of Nabeshima, which I drank last week: ‼️
This is my first time drinking it and it's delicious, not too tight and not too sweet 😋 As expected from Nabeshima👍.
Of course it was gone in a day😆.
My oldest son interrupted me when I was taking pictures today, so the back label is a two-shot of me and my oldest son lol.
The refreshing sweetness and gassy taste give it a mature cider feel, but the bitterness gives it a tight aftertaste that makes it easy to drink.
This is my first time at Banshu Issen.
What the heck is "shingin"?
I noticed the sticker after drinking it😅
I looked it up and found out that it means polished rice.
For those who are not good at math, there are some ❓❓ formulas and theoretical explanations, but maybe because I'm drunk, I don't understand them very well ❓☹️❓
But I do understand that it's evolving a lot 🤗.
I work in a job that has a science side, but I'm a super humanities person.
I am a person who does not need 1+1=2😁.
This is where I sometimes disagree with my science-oriented wife😅😅

I know it's a general thing, but people seem to be coming out of the woodwork so fast: ☹️
I think it's okay to wait until it's more like summer.
I'm sure there are a lot of reasons for this 🙇.
At first, I got the impression of melon.
I think it tastes like cider.
Not too sharp, but a little bit of a sizzle.
I think it's quite interesting that the sourness comes out later 🤗.
I didn't know that a little change in temperature can make such a difference 😊.
Very tasty 😋😋😋😋.
Thanks for the food🎶🎶
I'd also like to see trends in the brands I'm drinking, so I'll try to keep my repeat brands up to date briefly from now on.
Simple, gentle sweetness, high cosmetics, I'll keep you posted: 🙇🏻♂️
Cold sake
The flavor and acidity are typical of Yamahai sake, with a lactic acid origin, a firm sweetness and rice flavor, and a solid body that is hard to believe at 13%.
Lukewarm (44°C)
The brewer recommends lukewarm heating, so we had it lukewarm as well.
The acidity and alcoholic aroma are amplified, and for some reason, the flavor comes together nicely, making the sake refreshing.
I see that this sake is made to be at its best at this temperature range.... Sake is a very deep drink.
I could buy it again this year🤗
I drank a lot during my business trip to Toyama, but I opened it at home after I got back 😄✌️
I know you're going to ask me how I'm doing on my liver rest day 😅😅.
Yopa Memo_φ(・・・)
It has a characteristic sourness and sweetness, so it's a little difficult to match with sushi.
I have the impression that it doesn't go well with the trout sushi I bought on a business trip ☹️
I'm tired and it's hard to analyze with my stupid tongue 👅.
After 14 hours of sleep💤, I tested it again the next day.
Just the right amount of sweetness
It has the aroma of grapefruit and pineapple.
But there is no nigga, which is common in this kind of fruit.
I think this point is well controlled.
Very tasty this year too 😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Thanks for the food 🎶🎶.
Nabeshima's special pure sake. And it's a draft sake.
Luckily, I went to buy it,
There were both Shogo-Bottles and I-sho Bottles.
I chose the Yongo bottle.
The sake is fresh, as is the case with nama-shu.
The sweetness is also very strong,
It's a great sake 👍.
Recently, my favorite brand is
I buy my favorite brands in a bottle when I can.
I guess I should have bought a bottle after all.
It went very quickly 🤭.
Price: ¥1760 (720ml)
Hello, Choki-san.
Yes, I agree,
I guess there is a space problem with 1 sho bottle.
By the way, I bought a bottle of Nabeshima Aizan the other day.
I bought a bottle of Nabeshima Aizan in a 1-sho bottle 🤗.
It has a subtle peach aroma and sweetness, and the aftertaste is cut by sourness and a hint of alcohol.
I wonder if the acidity is summery?
It is dry, tasty, and cosy!
It's been a long time since I've been on a boat.
Premier black label with tank shibori.
I've been drinking a lot of modern TYPE lately,
I wanted to drink a dry sake.
I reached for Funaka after all.
Now, let's open the bottle!
I really like Funaka!
It's dry, but maybe it's the effect of the tank pressing?
It has a softness to it.
It can be served with fish🐟, meat🍖, or anything🆗🙆🙆I still want to drink it regularly!
I still want to drink it regularly.
It is a sake 👍
Purchase price ¥3749(1.8L)
After the juicy sweetness and apple-like aroma and sourness, the bitter taste that is typical of Kangiku finishes it off nicely.
I felt it was too sweet for a chrysanthemum, but not so sweet as to be overpowering.
Nevertheless, it's a stable cost effective sake, and Kangiku (and Banshu Ikken) especially offer limited edition sake at a good price in every season, which I really appreciate as a person who has a small allowance ... . I will continue to be a regular customer 🙏.
Tebasaki Summit 2024 Part 2
The world's best chicken wings will be served at "Nagoya", the birthplace of chicken wings.

I compared and voted for the best wings.
Now, I'll announce the 2024 results: ❗️

What a surprise 3 out of 4 stores I bought and ate from among 16 stores won the award🤗.
I was rooting for Gory King (Aichi), which I voted for, because the cute shopkeeper was very eager to talk to me 📣 unfortunately it didn't win any top prizes😅.
That's all I have to say about this luxurious eating contest 😋.
Nabe-sama was the accompaniment 🥂.
The aroma is gorgeous🌸.
The sweetness and bitterness are very strong.
Mellow, umami, bitter, middle-body 🥂.
The strength of OMACHI and the freshness of the unpasteurized sake are irresistible 😚.

Ace, good morning 😃.
I can't stop drooling over the chicken wings event 🤤I'm all about local delicacies in Aichi Prefecture 😆 I can't get enough of wings and nabesama 🙌
Hi Pon 😃
The one I ate, I drew one-two-three as a result 🎯🤣.
All the top winners tend to be biased towards regular restaurants 😅I voted for them to get a little new windfall 🥹.
Nabeshima is perfect for wings😘👍
Hi there, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃.
I've never had the chance to compare wings before, so it was fun 😆 Aichi Gourmet has a lot of strong flavors 😘.
So the wings went perfectly with this mellow nabe-sama 😋👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
The chicken wings were a high probability choice of delicious based on past awards 😄.
Beer 🍺 is good, but Nabesama 🍶 was also a perfect match 😋.
It's been two years since I've seen Kabuto.
When I dropped by the store on a whim, I found a lot of them,
I found a lot of capuchins there, so I caught them.
I had fried chicken for dinner tonight,
I opened the bottle thinking, "Is it time for this? So I opened the bottle.
It's been a while since I've had this, so I felt like I was drinking lemon water.
It has a clear and characteristic sourness.
It has a low alcohol content of 14 degrees,
I will drink this one in large gulps.
The acidity in the fried food resets the taste of fried food
The acidity resets the taste of fried food, so it is a nice pairing.
Nice pairing👍
Delicious!
Purchase price ¥1949 (720ml)
Good morning, Jaynobi.
Do you have a Kabuto-bushi waiting in the fridge?
Please try it with fried 🍗.
I opened the bottle and emptied it straight away...
After all, it was a blink of an eye. 🤣

That's Nagoya ✨There's an event for chicken wings 😻There are so many varieties 😻There are 3 grand prix winners out of 4 😳Is Gori King a new popular restaurant? Looking forward to the next one 😆.
Hi Ace 😃
Tebasaki Summit! Sounds delicious 😋Are you going to have beer 🍺 to accompany your chicken wings eating contest?
The chicken wings with cherichiyou🍒 sounds good too 🤗Results announced! I'll be waiting for you 👋
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
I couldn't decide which one to try 😍
I would have to say beer 🍺 to go with the chicken wings........
Not beer 🍺....
Of course it was sake 😙✌️
First pitcher in a long time: ⚾️
Last Sunday, a company-related baseball tournament⚾️
Participated in the semi-finals😤.
I took over as the starting pitcher for a young pitcher, and to my surprise, I was able to go to the mound in the last inning for the first time in a long time and hold him scoreless for an inning 💪😙.
I'm very happy about that. o ❗️❗️
The photo 🤳 is my favorite glove ⚾️🫱.
I might have been using it for more than 20 years now🤗.
But I didn't hit well and got a third fly and a peegee 💦.
Unfortunately, we lost the game 😩.
After the game, the whole team had lunch at the usual
Lunch at "Dokkiri Binky" 🍽️
As announced in the last review, today we had the cheese curry bergdösch M!
It was delicious 👍!
Now for some more food!
Lemon juice🍋⁉️
It's still hard on the first day. I wonder if the taste will change if I let it sit for a few days 🤔.
3rd day, the taste doesn't change that much 😅I don't think it will open up any more 🤔.
Overall, the taste is weak 😋.
Oh, I drank it all😅.
Well, I guess that means it's low al and easy to drink👍

Ace, good evening 🌆I haven't seen your pitching, sorry to be so random, but if you don't score any runs, it's naipy 😁I've been playing baseball since elementary school myself, so I took a bite out of the old Mizuno logo lol.
You have great stuff 👍
Thank you, Mr. Studying 😭They were up against a strong lineup of young, fastball pitchers, but I was able to keep them at bay with my change ⚾️ 🤗The glove that has seen better days is full of memories too 😄.
Ace, good morning 🐥.
So this flying luan is lemon🍋like 😳 Is it sour?
But still, you can still pitch and score no runs as a closer 😆👍✨.
Dokkuri binky 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Pon 🥂.
I've been trying to find a new one for a while now and I've been looking for a new one.
Sometimes the powerless straight ⚾️ was dropping ⤵️ in front of the batter like a changeup 😭 but I don't care 😚 I'll just say it was on purpose 🤣.
Juicy peachy aroma and sweetness.
This is followed by an alcoholic aroma and sourness, which is followed by a pineapple-like flavor.
The sweetness is relatively strong, but the acidity and alcohol in the aftertaste keep it from being too sweet, which is a good balance.
The price of less than 3,000 yen is also very reasonable.
Dokkiri Binky ❗️
Here we go again this year, a company-related baseball tournament: ⚾️
We won 7-0 and made it to the top 4❗️
I had a fly out to shortstop and a strikeout.
I was a shortstop and struck out 💦.
Next time 💪😤.
After the game, the whole team went out for our usual
Lunch at "Dokkiri Binky" 🍽️
First pineapple bergdrecht M in a long time 🍍 delicious 👍 could have had a large size 😋.
I've been eating at BIKKURI DONKEY since I was a student.
I used to enjoy "Bikkuri Donkey" as "Dokkiri Binky" 🤣.
Mimuro cedar trees in summer
Gentle sweetness and sourness.
Even lighter and milder after the gutsy and mellow Imi Gin-sen🍶, so it's even lighter and milder😋.
It is delicious.
If you ask me, it has a bit of a rummy feel 🤔⁉️

Hi, Hanapin 😃
Dokkiri Binky, sometimes I feel like eating it 😆 It's famous and nationwide 👍.
I'm now thinking of having the cheese curry burger 🧀 next time 🤣.
Hi Ace 😃
Thanks for the baseball ⚾️ tournament! Looking forward to your big report on the next round 😄I'm not a fan of fruit in my cooking 😅🍍 on my sweet-and-sour pork or 🍎 on my salad🥗... 🧀🍛 sounds delicious!
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
I'm going to try my best to report on my performance in the ⚾️ semi-finals, hitting, running and defending as well as Otani 😤.
I'm sure there are some fruits 🥭 in the dish 😅.
444CI👀
I won the sake 🍶 in the Galapon last December.
I opened the bottle and drank it because yesterday was my father's birthday ㊗️ 🎉.
The rich sweetness and bitterness are in harmony in the mouth from the beginning to the end.
It has a wild and masculine taste 💪.
The color is slightly cloudy 😳
Only at home...
I'm going to try a hot sake to change the taste 🍶😋🍶.
The bitterness is gone 🫥.
Maybe it's because of the nigori... it's mellowed 🫠.
I still think I prefer it cold 🥂.
The label on the back says that the brewer and his wife went to Nagano prefecture to see Shogo Hamada live & visit Zenkoji temple 😊👍
I heard Shogo Hamada 😎 so much 😆 sang so much 🎤.
If I usually take my glass 🕶️ off, no one would recognize me if I ran into you on the street or even if you were right in front of me 🤔.

Good evening, Aladdin...
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I tend to open a bottle of Imi, Jikin or Shinsei on special occasions ^_^🥂.
I missed the Hamasho 🎶Thank you for continuing to sing 😂👍
Good evening, kino 😀.
Thank you 🙇♂️
I tried the 🍶Ibi heated sake 🍶 to see what it was like but I didn't notice any drastic change 😅I guess it depends on the specs and your taste 😁 kino, you should try it too 👍.
Ace, good evening😄.
Happy 444 check-in & happy birthday to your father 🎂㊗️🎉Celebrate with 🎊I drank this 🎊❣️ it's sweet & bitter 😋.
Hamasho😎It's good 🎶I went to a live concert with Dora when I was young 😄👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😋 Thank you very much 🙇♂️
We had a double celebration ㊗️㊗️ with Mr. Imi 😋✌️ so we enjoyed heated sake 🍶 which is not easy to do when drinking outside 😊I hope you can meet Imi 👏.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy...
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
Hamasho😎 is good 🎶👍By the way, he was born in 1952 and is said to be 71 years old. That's about twice as old as Manachie-san's favorite Gakky 35 years old😭.
Hi Ace ^_^
Happy Zoro check-in and happy birthday to your father 🎉!
I've been wanting to have a nice, nice, nice eimi for a long time.
When would you like to start drinking~ ☺️
Ace, belated Happy Birthday to your father & Happy 444 check-in 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂
It's awesome to see the ✨masculine flavor and the Hamasho fits perfectly 😆 I miss "Sadness is like a snowflake" 😆....
Hi Pon, Hello...
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
We celebrated with a toast 🥂🤗!
I'm wild about Hamasho 😎 and this ejembi 💪.
There are too many other great songs 😭 sometimes the melody plays in my head 🎶 just can't remember the song title 🤣.
Gentle ginjo aroma.
Rich sweetness to the graininess of Kami no Ho🌾. After the bitterness, the acidity is noticeable 😳.
Fruity taste for sure 😋.
I heard it's rather dry, but it felt sweet to me 😅.
Sweet and tasty dark middle body 🥂.
On the day of the inspection, I had Hakata Ramen for the first time in a while near where I left my car 🚗. It was a rare occasion for me to have a second bowl of ramen 😋.

Ace, here's another one 😊.
Sorry 🙇
I had my eye on the ramen instead of the alcohol 😁.
As a thick noodle lover, I don't eat Hakata Ramen 🍜, but I want to see how many refills I can get: ✌️
Manta-san, good evening 🎵
I see you like thick noodles ^_^🍜.
It's true that ❗️ Hakata Ramen noodles are so thin that I could have had another bowl 😂 but one bowl was enough to fill me up 😅.
Followed by Omachi of Kafuda Sake: ‼️
Surprisingly less sweet than Dewa Sanzan😋 I think.
Well, it's delicious 👍
You can rest assured that no matter which one you buy, you won't be disappointed 😋.
But still, I can't tell which one I'm drinking when I take turns drinking them in a drinking contest...and then they run out in 2 days😅.
Packaged sake compared the weekend before last: ‼️
I tend to post late these days 😅I guess it's partly because it's getting tedious 😆.
And this sake ‼️
It was so good that I ran out of both bottles in 2 days 😱.
From Dewa Sanzan
Needless to say, the taste is sweet but nicely balanced with a nice sourness 😋 Too much to drink!
