Pineapple feeling but flows smoothly with a bit of bitterness 💨.
Is it dry for Eikoufuji? I wonder if it will be.
Maybe it flows like "nothing" at the end, which is good in hot weather 💡.

Finally, we chose Akada from the Abe Plots series.
Overall, it was dry, with a pear-like aroma that floated by and flowed smoothly 🍐.
I ended up drinking three cups and parted ways with bouken-san.
It was a good workout walking a lot in the middle of summer💡.

Next, we decided to drink Senzuke BLUE recommended by bouken🍶.
It was a soft melon-like sweetness that flowed smoothly 🍈.
It's been a year since I've had Senzuke, but it's so consistently delicious that I thought it would be okay to buy it for drinking at home 💡.
Dairy and Yeast August Corner Report 1📝.
It was the last business day of Sumino Brewery before its renovation, so after stocking up with bouken-san, we decided to go to Mystery Chi 🚌.
We decided to have a Katori, which I never had a chance to drink because of its strong label 🍶.
The sweetness of the alcohol comes through quickly and stays on the palate with a touch of astringency.
If you look closely, it says 21 degrees ⚠️
Good morning, bouken-san: ☁️
Yes, yes, I remember sweating profusely as I rode the bus 🚌.
I heard that they don't have a sink at the moment, so you can't go to the corner 💧.
Purchased when Yoohee and I went to Dairy and Yeast for a three-day weekend.
It has a squashy, melon-like flavor. The overall impression is fruity and sweet, but there is a lingering bitterness.
When I opened it, the lees didn't mix so I almost spewed when I mixed it💦.
When the temperature goes up, I get a citrusy taste like tangerine.
Too good to empty too fast🙄.
This SDGs-like project started under the auspices of the Kobe Shimbun.
The number of participating breweries has been increasing every year, and in 2012, seven varieties were released: Ozeki, Sakura Masamune, Fukuju, Morinori, Fukyu-Nishiki, Banshu Ikkou, and Shirasagi-no Shiro. I think this is the first time for Sakura Masamune.
It has a slightly aged feel, but unlike the dry image of Sakura Masamune, it has a slightly sweet taste and a gentle mouthfeel.
After this, we went to a certain liquor store in Motomachi, but they didn't have the sake we were looking for, and they were selling Jyushiyo at a pre-purchase price, so we left 💦.
Finally, we saw the Kobe Hankyu and split up.
Thank you Yoohee-san for buying us all kinds of sake in Nagasaki😻😻
Good evening bouken🍶.
I drank Sogape's Numeroan the other day, which is a No.1 yeast, but it has a ripe and sweet taste, doesn't it?
Is this ring also Sakura Masamune and is it No.1 yeast?
I was wondering since the flavors seem to be similar.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo.
Sakura Masamune has a big sign on their products using No.1 yeast, so I think it's probably not No.1 yeast 🤔.
I looked it up and it's supposed to be a -4 sake, so I guess it's sweeter than Sakura Masamune 😊.
Thank you for accompanying me the other day, bouken-san♪
It was my first time to drink Kan, and only Sakura Masamune caught my attention with its stylish bottle 👀.
I see it's still sweet 💡.
Too bad about the pre-priced Jyushiyo 💧.
Yoohee-san, thanks for your help the other day 🙋.
I have the impression that it was almost spicy except for the daiginjo type 🤔
I think it would have been even better if it wasn't so spicy 😅. I think it would have been even better if it wasn't 😅
I was going to buy some Tomikunishiki there but I lost interest when I saw the Jyushidai 🤣.
Next, Yoohee was the first to drink it, and I chose it because I was interested in what he said about lactic acid type.
When Yoohee-san opened it, he shook it first, so it made a great sound😅.
It was so shwashy and didn't taste like alcohol, so it was easy to drink.
Lactic acid taste
Yoohee and I went on a tour of Kobe's liquor stores 😁.
After visiting Sumi no Sake Shop, we went to Mystery Cheeya!
We had a lot of drinks at the corner shop 😋.
First, we went to Shirakiku in Ibaraki.
This sake is produced by a company called ten in Kasai City, Hyogo and brewed by Shirakiku and Tomikunishiki!
I've had the Fukunishiki version at an event, but this was my first time to drink Shirakiku!
I've been checking Shirakiku's check-in, and people keep mistaking it for Okunotono Shirakiku (Ishikawa), Onori Shirakiku (Okayama), and Shirakikyu (Kyoto)😅.
Make sure you check the name of the company and prefecture before posting 😁.
It's moderately sweet, fruity, beautiful and gentle to drink.
It's expensive to buy it (around 4000 yen), so I'm glad I could drink it at a corner shop 😋.
I know it's been a few months since I've seen your timeline... but it's soooo fast!
Good evening bou!
I'm sure I'm one of the people who got a "Okunotou" with a quick glance 😇.
Sake-run-san It hasn't been that long, but it's been a long time here 😁.
I wonder if Shirakiku was a popular brand like Masamune 🤔.
I think there are more Shirakiku if you look for them 🧐.
Pineapple-like aroma and a touch of citrus bitterness after it slips away✨.
A bottle purchased at a mystery cheese shop.
I thought it was shaken on the gooey sweet side, but was surprised by the aftertaste 👀.
It's summer time, so I gulped it down 💨.
But the fact that it tastes like this and is under 2,000 yen is amazing 👍!
720 mL ¥ 1,980
Good evening, Yoohee 😃.
When I see Aizan in appearance, I think it's amma 😅I see it's a gubi gubi type with a nice aftertaste 🤗I'll be looking for it next summer 😙.
Hi Pon, Hello 💡.
The figure is always in a mystery cheese shop, so I haven't been able to track them all down, but I feel like I can't go wrong with any of them 💡.
Please come to the Kobe area next year ✨
Very slightly carbonated. The apricot-like aroma and sweetness comes in gusto and flows with the sourness.
I opened this bottle before the Olympics to show my support 🍾.
We were able to have a precious bottle of this once every 4 years release ✨.
The price was also a gold medal level amongst the Imi's, and I remember 👀ing after buying it with bouken 💧.
But I couldn't beat this rarity💦.
720 mL ¥ 4,290
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
The time when you and Nemuchi and I had a corner party 😊.
I miss it a little 😁.
As I wrote before, I think the best sake in this class is the "Tokujun" 🤔.
Good morning bouken, ☀︎
It was February this year, wasn't it? It's the season for new sake again, so I guess we'll be seeing each other more guerrilla style lol.
I'm sorry, but as it turns out, the Tokujun was delicious and cosy 💡.
Long time no see!
My cell phone broke and it took a while to get the data back so I couldn't post.
I thought I could go back to posting on time for a while if the data was not restored, but unfortunately, the photos were still there and I will start from the second half of July 💨(I'm happy and sad 💦).
I got this eimi at Mystery Chi in February, I believe.
I couldn't open it for a long time and opened it in the summer 🍾.
I think I got bouken's later at an off-line meeting 💡.
It is thick, muscat, and sweet like Wasanbon.
Fruity and delicious, but I felt the bitterness was stronger when it was cold.
It was one of the sake that I could understand what "Imi" is like.
720 mL ¥ 2,300
Hi Yoohee 😃
You were catching up at a pretty good pace 🥲 but if you still remember the drinking and the pictures of the drinks 😅Go ahead and pick it up slowly 👋We still don't know anything about shooting beauty 😆.
Welcome back, Mr. Yoohee 😃.
It's been quite a few days since we heard from you at Mystery Cheeya, but we're glad to hear that you're back in one piece!
Now we can resume catching up and catching up in real time 😁.
I wish I could drink at least one bottle at home this year 🙂 ☺️
Yoohee, glad you made it back 😊.
It's also great that you're back posting at Imi ✨I'm jealous that you've never even been out drinking ✨❣️
I'm looking forward to your other reviews, so please take your time getting them up 😉.
Aladdin-san, I'm back 💨
I'm back 💨 The circuit board was damaged and it took me a while to get the data out of it 💧.
I will post more on my day off 📝.
I hope to get another beauty this season ✨.
Thanks Ponchan ✨
I also re-downloaded the sakewa app and was a little nervous when I logged in, but I was relieved to see my data was still there 💡.
I'll have to ask someone to bring it to the next offline meeting lol.
Off-line meeting with Mr. Yoohee at Dairy and Yeast Factory Kaku-uchi (corner drinking) at Dairy and Yeast Factory
It was a bit early in the day, and we had plans for the rest of the day, so we had the second last drink.
Actually, I had the "Odayaka Namaishuku Junmai Ginjo Cold Oroshi" from Niida Honke, which brews Niida Zenshu, which I had not had yet.
As the name suggests, the aroma was calm and refreshing, with a gentle ginjo aroma.
The taste is soft and smooth.
It was served well chilled, but it had a clear, transparent taste with a hint of acidity and a milky, clear flavor, so it seemed like it would be good warmed up.
I would like to drink it at room temperature or warmed.
After the Dairy and Yeast Factory, Yoohee told us he was going to visit Sumino Sake Brewery, so we went along with him 😄.
Yuehee's stocking at Sumino was dynamic and very interesting 😁.
After that, we expected it to rain, and since we didn't bring an umbrella, we had to end the party before it started pouring.
Talking with sake friends and looking in on their stocking is still a lot of fun 😄.
We had a lot going on during the trip, but it was nice to talk a lot!
Thank you very much, Yoohee-san 😊.
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I see you and Yoohee had such a fun time! I'm so jealous😻
I'm very interested in the Mystery Chi store and Sumino's because some of them are hard to find here... and the store is so nice and friendly 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I was also envious of Rafa's sake shop tour and bouken's & Yoohee's usual sake shop tour, so I was able to imitate them a little this time 😁.
Cheese goes well with sake yeast too 🧀.
Good morning, Aladdin. ☀︎
Thank you very much for your time ✨.
If I had to choose a sake shop in the Kobe area that I could go to on Sunday, I would take the bus since these two are within a good distance from each other 🚌.
Good morning, Yoohee 😃.
It was a pleasure to meet you too, thank you very much 🍶😄.
After that, I had a chance to visit Suminosan personally for cold chrysanthemum and other things 🚌 ☺️ I'd like to visit the cheese shop too 🚌.
At the end of last month, I had an off-line meeting with Mr. Yoohee at Mystery Chee-ya (?). The meeting was held at the end of last month 😁.
Mystery Chee-ya" or "Dairy and Yeast Factory" is a cheese, Japanese wine and sake store located in Nagata-ku, Kobe City.
(The location registration of Sake-no-wa is the old name of the store.)
In addition to Abeyagata, Niida Zenshu, Honkin, etc., Kinjaku and Imi are also available.
It is one of my favorite sake stores not only because they carry many of my favorite brands, but also because the proprietress of the store is modest but very kind, and even as a newcomer, she teaches me a lot of things.
She let me wait for Yoohee's arrival at the store, and during that time I was able to listen to her interesting stories about cheese and the difficulties involved in handling rare brands. ☺️
After that, Yoohee-san arrived at the shop, and we listened to him as he happily talked with the proprietress about the store and its products, just like a regular customer, thinking "how nice ☺️.
And since it was a good opportunity, we had a light lunch in the light of day.
I personally selected Abeno Junmai Ginjo, which is a typical sake of Dairy & Yeast!
The ginjo aroma was subdued and the clear sweet and sour taste and beautiful rice flavor was intoxicating. ☺️
Hi Aladdin 😀
I visited you once this spring because I was curious about what you and Mystery Chi said, but I didn't know how to win and could barely take home a bottle of abe 🤣.
I'd like to join you once😇
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
I have not even made it to double digits yet because it's too far from Osaka 😌.
I know Yoohee, bouken, and Nemuchi used to get together at the Mystery Cheezya, and I'd love to join you again if you have a chance 😄.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Nice to have a sakimi drink in the light of day 🍶🤗Moderately brilliant handling of the situation! You also have a shot beauty 🤩 we would love to visit you once 🥹.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Sake tastes better when the surroundings are bright ☺️ even though it's dark 😁.
The corner bar is 400 yen per glass regardless of the brand 🍶If you're lucky, you can drink Kinjaku or Imi, and the pairing with cheese 🧀 is wonderful, so please come 😊.
Purchased when Yoohee and I went to Mystery Chi-Ya on the last day of our Bon vacation.
It has a soft and complex flavor with acidity and sweetness as well.
I thought it would be sweeter because it said juicy or something like that 😅.
It's sweet, but if you ask me if it's juicy 🤔.
It has a very strong rice taste, but the rice taste might be juicy.
It's the first sakura I've ever tasted, and I kinda feel like it could be heated up 🍶.
Good evening, bouken-san, I'm so glad to hear that you are drinking Sakura for the first time 😳 but I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it 😆 My impression from the tasting is that this year's Ginfukiyuki was easier to drink when fire-brewed rather than draft. We should definitely try heating it up too: ♨️
Hi Hirupeco ☀☀☀.
I didn't find what I wanted in the liquor store's fridge, so I bought a packet 😅.
Ahh sure, I think I preferred the Ginbuki Hi-ire that I drank at Kisegawa at the brewery opening event 🤔.
bouken again, here we go again 💧.
I think the fridge was definitely stale at the time 💧.
It says Summer pop juice, so I guess it's shaken for summer sake 💡.
I'm also curious about the heat treatment ✨
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
I honestly had a hard time choosing 💦 because some of them are already drunk and some are more expensive.
I guess it's a summer sake concept from the label too 🏖️
Maybe fire-aged is more stable here 🤔.
Thanks to the mysterious cheese shop, I can drink many kinds of abe, but I had never had a basic junmai at home, so I bought it 💡.
I remember that Luteltemi brought some to share at last year's offline meeting and it was delicious, so I'm sure I can't go wrong ✨.
I opened the bottle vigorously 🍾.
Sweet melon 🍈.
I drank it fresh and low alcohol when I opened it 😌.

I was still curious and drank it, Golden Chun Chun 🐤.
The sweetness like Wasanbon and the good bitterness came and flowed smoothly.
You can't go wrong with Golden Sparrow, no matter which one you drink👍.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
So there are times when you have chun chun in the corner 😳
I'm jealous because I've never had a sake karaoke 😆.
And the fact that it's a wasanbon sweetness suddenly got my attention 👍
Good morning, bouken. ☀︎
We have the Chun Chun in the box, but they are so popular that they run out quickly🐤.
It seems they sold out fast this year too, so you have to go buy them as soon as they are announced💦.
Dairy and Yeast June Corner Report 1📝.
I wonder if the specs for this one will be a Hashira shochu-brewed Kijoshu.
It has a tart apricot-like sweetness and a sourness at the end.
There was no alcohol smell of shochu, and the acidity gave it a nice sharpness.
Personally, I quite liked the taste✨.
Corner at Mystery Chi Restaurant, Summer 2024 (iii)
I had a hard time deciding on the last one, but I went with Vega.
The one I had in the past was a draft sake, but this one seems to be fire-brewed!
It tasted like akada with a touch of gas and a touch of sweetness.
Personally, I prefer VEGA by far 😋.
Corner at Mystery Chi Restaurant, 2024 Summer (2)
Abe's Tapotabetsu series
I rarely buy abe so I'm glad I can drink it at a corner shop 😁.
Not too sweet but refreshing with a slight green apple or muscat-like sweetness
I thought it was a light drink 🤔.
Corner at Mystery Chi Restaurant, Summer 2024①.
Last day of Bon vacation😭
Sumi no Sake Shop will be closed for a month for renovation starting tomorrow 🚃 so I decided to go there after a long time.
We met up with Mr. Yoohee at Kobe station and took a bus to Sumino Sake-ten 🚌.
We had been visiting liquor stores together the day before yesterday too 🤣.
The fridge was empty before the remodeling, so it was mainly sake from the hanpukai (a Japanese sake distributor's association) and point exchange 💦.
Yoohee-san kindly allowed us to use our points to buy some valuable sake 🙏.
Thank you very much 🙇🙇.
Then we moved to Takatori and went to Mystery Cheese Shop.
I am a first time visitor to Katori 😁, another brand of five girls with a strong image of Saketoran.
The brewing year is 2022, so it looks like it's been sitting for about 2 years.
Alcohol 21 degrees 😳
It's gutsy, like an alcohol-sweetened sake.
Complex taste but also sweet. Very drinkable type. If you don't have strong flavored food, you'll lose to the alcohol💦.
The 3rd and 4th pictures are quiche and white mold salami.
The white mold salami (is that the right name?) is addictive and extremely tasty 😋.
Thank you bouken for yesterday.
Your quick post was great 👍.
The alcohol was high, but I drank it with salami and it went down fast and was empty soon 💧.
Let's go again next month 🚌.
Yoohee, thank you for letting me get a valuable sake yesterday 🙇.
I think this is the sake that goes best with salami 🍖I'd like to aim for it when it's newly renovated 😆.
