Preparatory exercise for the Tochigi Sake Toast Festa.
We're going to drink from noon.
~The grass is blue.
Even if the person drinking next to you looks good, it's still good!
Toast Festa with Local Sake
I'm already drunk.
Nanamizu is delicious.
Mr. Touji was there,
I took his picture to commemorate the event.
I don't remember.
And then..,
To bring good luck
Fortune is coming!
Blessings are coming!
Good evening, Nanoha 😃.
It's great to see you back and making a lot of money 👏.
Well, take it easy 😊Let's have a good drink 👋 so that good fortune will come to us.
Toast Festa with Local Sake
I know the order is back and forth, but..,
After warming up, tipsy?
No, it's a drunken, sexy Higu.
Her nape of the neck is as beautiful as the butterfly lady's!
Please take a look, handsome.
I don't recognize Madame Butterfly anymore.
Hi Nanoha 🐥.
I'm not sure if I'd like to show a little more of my nape 🤣. I was afraid that Higu would not be able to spread her collar wide enough 😂I was almost afraid that she would take it off 😆 lol.
Toast with Tochigi's Sake Festa. The first drink of the first day. The label intrigued me and I drank it. This is also a Yumesasara. It has a gentle taste and a cool and refreshing harmony.
Toast with Tochigi's Sake Festa No. 1. The second day.
We had secured our seats and were just waiting for the members of the Kenmin-kai to join us for a drink.
Toast Fest with Local Sake
With Mr. Ars, Ms. Kotori and Mr. Higu!
It was so cold on the first day that we couldn't even get chairs.
But Kotori-san's unknown technique got chairs for 4 people. ‼️ lol
We were able to drink in peace and quiet!
Thank you so much!
We were also able to have some rare sake brought in by Ars (to be uploaded later).
I'm so happy to be able to have some of the rare sake that Mr. Ars brought in (to be uploaded later).
Though it was cold,
but our hearts were warmed by the two of them and the sake.
Hououmida, you never fail us.
Hello Nanoha 🐥Higu and Ars 🤭we met for the first time at this event last year...it's not often that we get to know each other as adults 🥹 🪑never 😉 if you want to talk to us, Leave it to me 🤣.
I'll make love to you, too, Kotori-san. I'm really glad to have met you~ I'm glad I had the courage to join ♡.
I hope we can be friends in the future.
I'm glad to have met you. I'm so glad to have met you!
Nanoha and I enjoyed two days at the Tochigi Sake Toast Festa. I don't remember how many kinds of sake we drank, but I would like to say as many as I can remember.

Already uploaded by Tochigi residents!
I participated in the festival two days in a row!
Me and Mr. Higu met last year at Tochigi Kenmin Kai.
I remember I was so excited for the first time.
It's also our anniversary,
Senkou-san is a handsome man who can't be missed!
Tochigi Sake Festa (2)
I was curious about bouken after Kotori's post, and Nobby and I were so enthusiastic that we couldn't help drinking this one: ‼️ 😆 Now I'm going to drink my bald father's secret sake 🤗The water color is slightly my father's color😆It's a dry sake with a sour taste, but it was lukewarm so I want to drink a cool one 🤔.
I'd like to drink it cold 🤔.
Next we had 🤗
Yoshii Shuzo, Hatsuebisu Junmai Ginjo: It's light and delicious 🤣 (who's asking 🤣)
Matsui Shuzo's Junmai Ginjo Yumesasara, Mrs. Butterfly: Beautiful sake!
It was hot that day 🥵I had to bring a lot of water or I'd get sick ⁉️ so I brought two 2L plastic bottles from J&N's house ✌️
Then, Higu and his friends who were waiting for us also brought a bottle of water 💧 and we all drank a lot so we wouldn't get drunk 😄 but we drank all of them and added another bottle😅.
Saturday's festa started at 3:00 and ended at 9:00! We were talking about how we wouldn't be there for 6 hours 😆 but we ended up drinking, eating and talking 😂Kotori was happy to come even though she didn't drink for a few hours 🥹and before we knew it, the show was over 🥲6 hours went by so fast😌.
I knew it was going to be fun Tochigi Ai🥰!
Hi Jay & Nobby😊.
Sounds like an event for all of you who are full of Tochigi love💓.
I'm jealous 😋 of the fun and socializing while drinking delicious Tochigi sake!
I bet the time will fly by 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
The Tochigi Sake Festa is a fun gathering of Tochigi lovers 🎵.
I could feel the fun and excitement of lots of drinking and talking 😊.
Good evening Jay & Nobby😃!
I can really feel the fun and excitement of the Tochigi Sake Fest! Looks like fun ❣️
And the name of this sake is hilarious 😂.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆Having a bald father hiding his baldness 🥺‼️ Huh? There is one person in the picture with a hat, but he is hiding it 🤔.
The truth is always one ‼️
Dear Jay and Nobby, Good evening😊.
Was my bald father hiding his drinking or was he hiding his baldness?
I wonder if he was hiding his baldness?
You made me laugh 🤣.
Sounds like fun 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
I stopped by on Saturday myself. I was amazed at the great turnout and enthusiasm at the event 😆.
And I still drank the bald father myself 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. 😊
The name is so offensive, it made me laugh.
I couldn't help but laugh. 😂
Harmonizing water is important, isn't it? I know 😋.
The way you get drunk is totally different. 😁
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I knew you all drank the bald father 🤣This is a lot of fun, regardless of the taste!
Xavier 🤣I guess it's the bald guy who hides it 😆🙏🙏.
Jay & Nobby, thank you for your hard work. Now you are sure to win the Tochigi-Ai September sake tasting championship (lol). I look forward to the final with HIGU.
Hi Manachy 😃
Quintessence! You have a good eye 😄 Only one truth to see through ‼️ looks like a child and has a bald father in his head, his name is Bald Father's Hidden Sake 🤣.
Hello, kurimomosan 😃
As far as I can see from the label, it doesn't hide the baldness 😆 If it hid this drink, it wouldn't be out in the world 🤣I had as much fun as a morning rah🍜🤗.
Hi Hiro 😃
There was a jazz performance 🎹 and there were quite a lot of people around in the evening 🤗I would go for this name if I were drinking outside 😆.
Hi there, I'm looking forward to seeing you at this event! This event looks like so much fun! I'm so jealous that all the drinkers can get together and talk a lot...
Jay & Nobby, also here ♪
Water! I drank a lot, partly because it was so hot 😆 Thanks to you, I was fine and healthy until the end 😁Thank you for the food 🙏.
And thanks to both of you for picking us up at the station gates and seeing us off on our way home 🙏🙇♀️
Hey, Tsubu, it's me again 😃.
We drank quite a bit of water 🤗We had a lot of fun until we had to find the restroom on the way home 😁I knew the members of the Prefectural Association were the best 😁.
Tochigi Sake Festa ①.
On Saturday, I was looking forward to "Toast with Tochigi Local Sake Festa 2024" 🤗.
As Kotori-san already mentioned, it was a two-day event starting from Friday evening the day before, and Kotori-san, Nanoha-san, Higu-san, and Ars-san from Kenmin-kai participated on the first day: ‼️
On the second day, I met Tsubu-chan at Tobu-Utsunomiya station for the 3:00 p.m. start of the show, and we went to the venue! We met up with Higu and Nanoha-san, who were there for the second day in a row, and they had saved us a seat 😊It was very hot 🥵, so we were very grateful! They were really gods!
I've never had a drink before! So we started off with a toast with a bottle of Junmai Ginjyo Drunken Summer by Higashi Rikishi.
The other drinks in the first half were
Watanabe Shuzo's Asahi Koki Junmai Daiginjo Yumesasara: I knew Asahi Koki was good and I could enjoy the aftertaste 😋.
Kobayashi Brewery's Junmai Ginjyo Kanuma Musume: A dry sake that is easy to drink and refreshing.
Kitanoseki Shuzo's Kura-no-Machi Junmai Ginjo: a dry sake with a sharp taste 🤔.
And Morito Shuzo's Junmai Ginjo Shoninzawa Yumesasara! Jay thought this was the best with a nice aroma 😚.
And the party continued with a lot of talk 🤗.
A mini Kenmin-kai-style love affair with Tochigi 🥰!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌕.
Looks like a fun event!
Nice photo of the toast: ☺️
Come to think of it, I don't think the Kansai Chapter took a picture during the toast 🧐.
Ah! Maybe because Kansai people are impatient and want to drink as soon as possible 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
A prefects' party around Tochigi sake is a good idea 😀.
I'm planning to go to Akirika's brewery opening next Saturday, but I'm sorry I don't seem to have anyone to join me as I'm deep in the mountains 🥲.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃Tochigi Sake Festa, it's definitely fun to have a lively conversation with everyone over drinks they've never had 👍Mini Kenmin Kai, I can feel the fun atmosphere from the photos of the toast: ‼️
Jay & Nobby, what a great local sake fiesta 😄and to be able to hold a prefectural party on the spot, what more is there to say? It's just like Tochigi love 🥰. It's also great to discover new sake!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛this sounds like a fun event 🎶I can attend these daytime events from my parents' house in Utsunomiya 😊I would love to go if there is another one ✨.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's an intoxicating event full of Tochigi love 🫶 ☺️
I can feel your love for Tochigi again in the way the event naturally turns into a petit Tochigi citizens' party 😊.
I'm still learning a lot about Tochigi sake that I didn't know 📝.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
It's great to see the Tochigi love 🥰 of the Kenmin-kai members who naturally get together at events 😁.
We had "Toichi Drunken Summer" at the Kansai Off-line Meeting a few days ago 😋.
Jay & Nobby, Good morning ☀11 Masamune, I may have never seen it before. Sake with a feel that you can only drink there is good, isn't it? And Yumesasara, even better!
Jay & Nobby.
Good morning!
It's nice to be able to taste all the local sakes at once 😍Comparing drinks is really a luxurious way to drink 😊and even more so with good friends........
Hi Maru 😃
Here's a picture of the annual toast of the Tochigi Prefectural Association 🤗I was so eager to drink that I realized later that I didn't take a picture 😫😅It was a fun event 🤗.
Hi Wakata 😃
I don't even know what it tastes like😅I went mainly for Tochigi sake, which I've never had before🤗It's fun to talk with a member who is at ease😊.
Hi Sashiu 😃
We were supposed to have a sake tasting championship at this fiesta and we were all excited to go out ‼️ but it was postponed 🥲 Mini Prefectural Party! It was fun 😊
Hi Jay & Nobby😄!
Cheers Festa 🥂That was fun 😆🎶.
We had plenty of time to drink in the daytime, and since it was outside, it was OK to make noise 🤭Higu & Nanoha were grateful to have a seat for you to sit down ☺️✨
Toast Festa with Tochigi's local sake🤗④
29 breweries (one sake from each brewery), craft beer, various dishes, etc.
The sake menu is full of kanji characters on the front and back, and the venue is so lively that it will make your 😵💫 eyes roll!
The sake was light, sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, and easy to drink.

29 breweries (1 sake from each brewery), craft beer, various dishes, etc.
We had almost no information about the taste of the sake, so we had a hard time deciding what to order.
I asked, but I didn't know what other breweries' sake tasted like.........................so difficult!
It was a mellow, umami type sake. It had a luxurious taste, as expected of a junmai daiginjo.
