hoshiakiJunmai 🍶Non-filtered raw sake✨Yamada Nishiki🌾.
This is the last of the first "Umi to" sake of the year.
It has a melon-like flavor, but it's not clingy and goes down smoothly. Spicy, refreshing, but with a little brown sugar sweetness in the aftertaste. Beautiful ✨Mochi fried rice cake fits perfectly. The sudoko cream cheese is also delicious 😋.

Crisp and refreshing dry taste. My wife says it's lactic acidic. It's a good one to eat. Also good for pickled cauliflower with miso 😊 Boiled cauliflower with miso 😋.

Hard impression. Rather dry. Crisp. My wife says the taste of the water is outstanding. Pair with yellowtail and green pepper tataki🐟 for a rich taste. Sharp✨It feels sweeter on a flat plate than in a cup.

Here's the first glass of the first "sea and" of 2025 😆.
Sourness that is typical of Sengoku, even though it's an Edo-bari. A little lactic acidic. Nigori shuwa🫧 calpis soda. Cun 💕shed the fat from the pork skewers.

Sogen drink comparison😆This is new sake✨.
New sake but thick and robust. Delicious flavor. Uri🍈The manager served us New Year's Eve Soba🍜 and we finished it off with more snacks Neapolitan🍝 on 😅We are grateful to Umi for their hospitality in 2024🙏!

Sea, and last of 2024, Sogen drink comparison 😆.
First of all, this one. The name "蘇甦" means "resurrection" in Japanese.
It has a strong body. It is suitable for warming up. Mild and easy to accept with Wagyu beef. Very good match with sudoko cheese 👍.
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241230 hoshiakiJunmai 🍶Keikatsu Sukuikumi Nama Sake ✨Nigori Sake
My wife says it's spicy radish 😅 carbonated and hit hard, but strong core, yet gentle. Refreshing and sharp. The flat plate makes it milder. Match with the ankimo 👍When you drink more, it becomes mellow and mellow. ☺️

The end of the year, the sea and the third glass is here 😆.
A little melon ginjo 🍈Not too harsh, goes in easily. It's dry and goes well with fried oysters🦪👍I wonder why it's newt🦎🤔.
Sea and @Takadanobaba 20241230 はなぴんGood evening, hoshiaki. I am a very good friend of yours 🙂.
I think fried oysters and sake is one of the best
I think it is one of the best combination. I think it's one of the best combination 🤭.
I did it yesterday too. 😁. hoshiakiThank you Hanapin 😊 Oysters 🦪 are delicious. Fried, sautéed, cooked or raw, I love them all 😍 some people don't like them for their bodies, but I'm happy to have a body that can eat oysters😅. hoshiakiJunmai Ginjo🍶 Nama Sake✨
2024Last "with the sea" 2nd glass: ☺️
Agadubebebe (delicious water)😅My wife says it has a hint of sweetness, then sharp and dry. The homemade ankimo wasabi gives it a richness and spiciness. Very tasty 😋!
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241230 hoshiakiJunmai Daiginjo🍶.
My wife's last day of work in 2024, last drink outside at our usual "Umi to" 🍶.
The first glass was another brand from Aihara Shuzo, famous for the moon after the rain ✨Kyurei is the name of Kure, Hiroshima 🧐.
Clear and light ✨Sharp. Light ✨Sharp. A little sweetness if served on a flat plate instead of a glass. Pair it with ginkgo 😋.

Suddenly. Slight melon and bitterness. A little citrus 🍊 bitterness, maybe greeful. But a little Japanese taste. The sourness goes well with the takopotch ponzu vinegar. It also catches the oil from the fried lotus root clamshell.

Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241227 hoshiakiFreshly squeezed raw sake ✨
Here is the end of the day 😆.
Melon 🍈 dry. It goes well with the salty taste of homemade crustaceans 👍The crustaceans set the tone. Synergistic effect. Vinegared miso with red clams is also a flavor explosion 😋.
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241221 hoshiakiJunmai 🍶 Nama-nazake✨
Soft, pleasantly sweet but dry grassy. Bitterness too. Catch the homemade crow's feet. Good without spreading the smell. Spicy like gin.
Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20241221 hoshiakiJunmai 🍶Non-filtered raw sake ✨Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture🌾.
The aroma is a bit pungent. Strong. A little strong. It's a little bit like a thin herb. It's good with octopus ponzu (ponzu with octopus). Dry and sharp. I want to warm it up. Goes well with the bitterness of ginkgo nuts👍
Sea and @Takadanobaba 20241221 hoshiakiSpecial Junmai🍶Kasumi Sake🌫️ Nama Sake✨
Gentle ☺️ with a nice thickening. According to my wife, even people who easily aspirate can drink it 😅 It is a dignified, beautiful and superior sake with a sober and unadorned appearance. It is elegant. It is enough with simple snacks like pickled turnips.
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241221 hoshiakiJunmai Ginjo Nama 🍶MOVIN'
My wife says it's charming and goes well with meat 😅It surely goes best with the fat from the wagyu beef tataki 👍maccha 😋 It's also good with the fatty conger eel tempura. Sharp and sharp.
I looked it up on the internet and found that the origin of [MOVIN'] has two meanings: "to act positively as a brewery" and "a taste full of dynamism" 🧐Good, good, good!
Umi and @Takadanobaba 20241221 はなぴんGood evening, hoshiaki: ☺️
Beef Tataki😍😍😍.
In the past, if I could get a good piece of beef, I used to have two choices
or tataki when I could get a good piece of beef.
but nowadays I'm too scared to eat roast beef😅. hoshiakiThank you, Hanapin 😊Wagyu tataki is a regular menu item at this restaurant, I've had it several times now and never had a bad experience with it 😅The heat is the key 🐂.
But roast beef is also hard to throw away 😆. hoshiakiJunmai Ginjo🍶New Moon🌑 Shimotsukoritate Nama-Nagara Sake
Not heavy umami, a little schwar🫧, refreshing, moderately fruity. Apricot? Sweetness. Superior. Nice sweetness, but a bit different when paired with sashimi. Aperitif or after-dinner drink? It might go well with sea bream 🤔 It goes rather well with salmon roe on top of a bowl of rice👍
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20241219 hoshiakiJunmai Ginjo🍶Unfiltered Nama-nihan Sake✨Origarami🌫️Yamada Nishiki🌾.
Strong smell of cemedine 😵 Schwatt 🫧 Dry cider. The sea bream nanbanzuke (sea bream) softens the cemetery and is delicious 😋.
