ヤスベェSpring Nigorinpic 74
This Golden Week, I worked on the calendar plus Saturdays, so the four days from today are my real consecutive holidays.
On the first day of the holiday... I didn't have anything to do, so I walked with Kaorin to the former Expo site in Suita with my lunch and sake as usual. 🚶♀️
Today's accompaniment was Momoten from my hometown of Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
This is the third consecutive season for Momoten-san 😀.
The year before last it was the old Toji and last year it was the new Momoten, and this Momoten seems to get better and better every year😇.
Of all the sakes made by Amami, I like this Momoten the best 😀. マルHi Yasbay 😊
Isn't it wonderful to have a peach heaven at a picnic? I like your photos too!
Makes me want to drink some Tenmei too 😆. ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasbaye 🦉.
Peach heaven under the blue sky, it's so nice 🙂 and the nigorinmpic is 74😳 You are really awesome for steadily drinking and posting 👍✨.
Poppies, I'm guessing, beautiful flower garden 💕 ma-ki-Good evening, Mr. Yasube!
Nigorinpic, you finally made it to Momoten 🎵.
I had it for the first time this year and it was really delicious 😋.
It's nice to have a drink outdoors 😊. Nao888Hi Yasubeyesan 🌞I love Momoten and bento at the Expo 🍶I haven't had Tenmi for a while, is it a new brand? It seems like there is a new brand coming out. ✨️ Enjoy the holidays 😊 ひなはなママHi Yasubey, 😃I see you've been enjoying the first day of the GW holidays 🍶.
Momoten🍑I see this is the third year in a row ❣️ and it gets better every year 😍I had it for the first time this year and I'm sure I'll be back next year 👌 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃.
GW is a good way to spend a relaxing time in the vicinity 🤗you can carry your favorite drink and have a walk and drink 😚you can spend a relaxing time 😌. ヤスベェHi Maru-san 😀
For Maru-san who has the same taste in sake as me, Amami's light nigori should be a definite strike for you, so please try it 😇.
I'm looking forward to drinking it again next season for 4 seasons in a row 😀. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
The poppies were beautiful and the nemophilas were blooming next to them😇
I know very well how delicious Momoten's is, so I could take you outside without any worries😇. ヤスベェHello, ma-ki- 😀
I had Yukitensan at the Winter Nigorinpikku and I had Momotensan safely at the Spring Nigorinpikku😇.
I knew how good it tasted, so I was able to take it out and enjoy it without any worries 😇. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
I too am looking forward to the new challenge I hear Amami will be taking on😇
I've done some solid mountain climbing today and it doesn't look like I'm going to be in a situation where I'll be able to loosen up anytime soon😅. ヤスベェHi, HinaHanaMama 😀
I was worried about what would happen when the toji suddenly quit last year, but I see that many breweries are working together to make it happen😇.
I have the impression that nigori sake has become more delicious than before😇. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
I'm not able to go out for a long time because of my father's situation and I want to drink sake when I go out 😅. ヤスベェSpring Nigorinpik 72
We have Hakurakusei Ooragarami and Yamawasei Usu Nigoromi at home, so we will try to compare them😇.
This year, the brewer responsible for Yamawaboshi is Shinzawa Brewery, which brews Hakurakusei, so I thought it would be fun to compare the two 😀.
Today, we started with the Hakurakusei Ooragarami 😀.
Hakurakusei is a brewery that claims to be the ultimate food sake 😇.
It has the delicious taste of rice, but is very crisp and refreshing 😇.
I am looking forward to compare it with the Junmai Daiginjo Nama Nigori from Yamawasei that I am going to drink tomorrow 🤣. Nao888Good morning, Yasube 🌞Haku Hakusei is another one I'm interested in but can't get to it because of the ultimate food sake hurdle 💦This drinking comparison sounds really interesting ✨I'm looking forward to your review of a man who knows the difference 🥰. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
I think it would be interesting to see how you would feel if you compare the same food with the same sake 😋🤗. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
We love sweet fruity sake too, but Hakurakusei is not such a high hurdle sake 🤣.
I hope we can compare our tastes well because we both have stupid tastes 🤣 ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
I guess the taste of a food wine depends on how you pair it with your meal 🤣.
In case you're wondering, we're going to have the same main course last night and this evening, so we'll see which one goes better with today's meal😇. Nitoうすにごりスパークリング生 雄町純米吟醸生酒にごり酒発泡 ヤスベェSpring Nigorinpik 71
I've been wanting to drink a strong schwashy sake for a while now, but I haven't been able to find one, so I opened a bottle of this one for sure 😇
It's a two hare, but one hare 🐇 is a gorilla 🦍🤣.
And he even has a big bomb💣 so there is no doubt about it😇
I took the bottle out of the freezing cellar and opened and closed it repeatedly for about 5 minutes without it blowing out 🤣.
Of course, during the process of opening the bottle, it started stirring automatically on its own, so my expectations are high 😇.
Today I poured it into a sparkling glass, but even so, the fruity aroma is rising with fine bubbles😇.
This is it, this is it... a strong fizzy sensation that I haven't encountered in a while 😀.
The taste is fruity, but the acidity from the carbonation keeps it nicely tight and I really like it 😇.
I was interested in this last year but had to give up due to a refrigerator problem, but I'm glad I was able to buy it this year😇. chikaNice!
Two hares nigori🍶.
I want to drink it 😊🍶✨✨
I mean 71😱🍶.
Go for it 🤣👍✨✨ Nao888Good morning, Yasbay 🌞The label has changed ✨️ I drank it last year but it was very dry and I still didn't like it 😅I think I'll try it now that it's grown a bit 🤔I finally found the fizzy feeling I like 🫧. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
Finally, we have a schwa strong drink 🤗.
Interesting that it's a rabbit 🐰 and a gorilla 🦍💣🤣 dry schwa liquor is my favorite kind 😋 I'd like to try it! ヤスベェGood morning, chika 😀
70% of my home drinking this season is nigori type 🤣.
The sparkling Ni-Rabbit was delicious too 😇 ヤスベェGood morning, Nao888 😀
I couldn't drink it last year, so I don't know the details, but this year, Yamadanishiki and Omachi have different labels, so they might be trying to do something different 🤣.
It may not be as dry as Shuwashuwa with some fruity notes 😀. ヤスベェGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I hadn't had much of Two Rabbits yet, but this sparkling was moderately well done😇.
Also this facing 🐇 and the label 🦍+💣 is too cute😇 ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I too finished the bottle yesterday! This schwashwas just as you expected Yasbaye 😆👍The label was still cute when I saw it in person, so I picked it up ❣️ This is how the bottles are growing 🤣. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
I see you've been drinking too Pon 🐇🦍😇
I'm waiting for your comment to go up 😀
Kaolin was also happy that this bottle is a keeper 😀.
The design of the bottles and labels are important too😇 Bijofuうすにごり 舞 スパークリング純米大吟醸生酒発泡 ヤスベェSpring Nigorinpic 55
I was in the mood for a bit of a shwashy sake today, so I got this Bikuyo's Usunigori Sparkling😇.
As expected of a sparkling sake, even though I opened the bottle carefully, the automatic stirring started as soon as I opened it🤣.
As expected of a junmai daiginjo, it had a fruity aroma, but the taste was very clear 😀.
However, the acidity from the shuwashu carbonation was very effective, and it was a delicious sake that didn't interfere with the meal 😇.
By the way, I paired it with shabu-shabu today and it was delicious😇. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpik 49
What's for dinner today, I made Oden 😀 !
Kaorin had to work late, but I finished work early, so I put my skills to the test 😇
For the sake to go with it, I chose Eikoufuji's Hakuyo Ochigara-mi Hakuyo 😀.
As usual, we compared the top clear sake mixed at room temperature and the chilled one 😀.
As expected from Eikoufuji, all types are delicious 😀.
The one I liked the most was the mixture at room temperature, but the chilled one was also delicious 😇.
What surprised me even more was the comparison of the previously opened Shichibonspear, which was served chilled and heated 🤣.
I have always found the sweetness and umami to be stronger when heated, but this comparison showed that the heated version was more dry 🤣.
Kaorin said that when she heated it up, a spear flew at her 😀.
Today's comparison was a delicious one with cold sake, room temperature and heated sake 😀. ロビンGood morning, Yasubeyesan 😃Origarami is great in muddy water 👍I haven't done it much at home because it's gone before I can heat it up, but next time I'll try heating it up too 😁I'd like to experience the spears flying 🤣. ヤスベェHi Robin 😀
I enjoyed Robin's favorite Shiga sake at different temperatures 😀.
The first day I tried it cold and at room temperature, it was sweeter at room temperature, but as soon as I heated it up, it changed its expression 🤣.
Sake is a very deep drink 😀. ポンちゃんHi Yasbaye 🐦.
Did the spear flew 👍✨I'm planning to try the seven lance nigori, so I will use it when I do 😆🙏.
I'm also interested in the oden made by Yasubeyesan 😊. haniwa56Purchased at a liquor store I frequent.
It is easy to drink with a good aroma and the freshness of unpasteurized sake. It is delicious with acidity and umami. I will repeat the purchase. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpic 45
The other day, before visiting Joyo Sake Brewery in Kyoto, I went to see the Aoya Plum Grove and was disappointed that I could not see any plums at all, so today I went to see the plum grove at Expo Park 😀 .
Unfortunately, the weather was on and off with light rain, but I brought a bento lunch and fruit cakes... and the sake to go with it was Miyakanbai's Origaraumi, which I thought was the only sake for ume ume ume ume ume ume.
The aroma of this sake calls for spring.
As soon as the bottle is opened, the gorgeous aroma spreads out.
The aroma is even stronger when you bring the bottle to your mouth 😇
The taste is as good as the aroma, and is as delicious as Chinese or Japanese bento 😀. ポンちゃんHello Yasube, 🐦.
Almost in full bloom, very beautiful. ❣️ plum blossom viewing while drinking Miyaganbai Oorigarami, very elegant ✨ even if the weather is unfavorable, it makes me feel fine 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
Oooh! It's blooming beautifully, a change from your last photo 🌸Bento🍱 and sake🍶 with you! Miyaganbai is perfect👍.
We've never done it before 🥲 so we'll try it this spring 🤗 chikaYou're up to 45 🤣👍🍶✨✨
There are a lot of nigori sake 🍶🤔🍶. ワカ太Good evening, Yasubeyesan😃I love Miyaganbai for viewing ume plum blossoms💕The weather was not so good, but the bento, Japanese sweets and sake were enough to make it a wonderful time. ☺️ ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
If the weather had been a little nicer, it would have been a little disappointing 😅 It would have been more elegant to lay a sheet in the plum grove and drink Miyakanbai in the scent of plum trees.
But it's nice to be able to feel the season with sake😇. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
Just two weeks apart, the plum blossoms are in season 😀.
The next hanami sake will be cherry blossom 😀.
I can't wait to see what kind of sake you two would choose 😇. ヤスベェGood evening, chika 😀
In case you are interested, we will pause at 50 bottles and will hold the next Nigorinpic in the spring 🤣.
There are still a lot of nigoris that haven't been drunk yet 😀. ヤスベェGood evening, Wakata-san 😀
Bento, Japanese sweets and sake have become a must for Hanami at our house 🤣.
Miyakanbai has a great aroma and went well not only with the meal but also with the Japanese sweets😇. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpik 42
Following the comparison of Wakamusume's sake from my hometown in Yamaguchi Prefecture, we had the Winter Otoshiri sake from Omine Sanzukuri, also from Yamaguchi Prefecture 😀.
The Winter Nigorinpik has passed the 40th selection, but we still have more than 20 bottles of Nigorinpik selected sakes in our house 🤣.
I'm going to finish the Nigorinpik once I reach 50 bottles and then move on to the next Nigorinpik in the spring, but I think it's not the right season to have a beautiful Yuki-Onna here in the spring, so I'm opening the bottle today 🤣.
As usual, I compared the top clearings mixed with the top clearings brought to room temperature with the ones left chilled, but I think this Osa tastes best chilled 🤣.
It has a strong carbonation and is very fruity😇.
Kaorin and I wondered what kind of fruit it was 😀.
Melon? Green apple? Gruffre? ... the one that fit best was the muscat feeling 😀.
This is definitely a delicious drink too😇 ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay 😃.
Still more than 20 bottles 😳 great! It's a race between drinking and buying 😄and it's important to think about the season 😊It's a good bottle chilled in winter 🤗. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
When I visit the brewery, I buy just one bottle as a commemorative, but even after tasting and comparing, my choice ends up being nigori 🤣.
I don't know how much I like it when they have so much nigori in stock 🤣. haniwa56Less aroma and a clean, fresh green apple taste. It is delicious! The alcohol content is a little low, which makes it easy to drink. It is easy to drink too much. Akabu is delicious no matter what you drink. ヤスベェI'm a small person and I can't open a bottle of hard-to-find sake unless I have a reason to do so😅.
So I end up drinking them all together like this because I can open them if I have a reason 😅.
Tobiroki is also very hard to find, but it's a clear and beautiful sake like Junmai Daiginjo 😀.
It is the most similar to Niimasa among the sake we compared, but I think it tastes more transparent 😇.
I guess it's a matter of taste here and opinions will differ... 🤣
What surprised me more than that was the Imi 🤣.
At first it was a clear golden yellow, but over time it turned a bit dull 😅.
I thought it might have been caused by poor storage, but the taste became deeper and tastier 🤣.
The funny thing about sake is that you can't tell the change 😇 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
Good drinks are good to drink all together 🤗It's great 😋 to see changes that you wouldn't know if you drank one bottle at a time👍. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
If you don't keep going all at once, you'll just be looking at the sake through the glass in the sake cellar😅.
I like it when you drink 4 bottles in a shift, even I can tell the difference 🤣. ヤスベェWalking tour of temples, shrines and sake breweries21❓😅😅
As I wrote yesterday, tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death, so every year on the National Foundation Day holiday, I go on a walking tour to visit temples in the 33 sacred sites in the western part of Japan 😀.
I don't have enough merit to go to the temples 🤣.
This year I went to Otsu, Shiga and asked for offerings at two temples, Ishiyama Temple and Mitsui Temple 😀.
Since I was in Otsu, I decided to visit the sake brewery, Hirai Sake Brewery, where Asakayousei is brewed 😀.
I thought they were open because the information said they were closed irregularly, but unfortunately they were closed today 🥲.
I decided to open a bottle of Shinmasa today on the Shin-Kaisoku train on my way home to open a bottle of delicious sake when I was disappointed 😇.
When I got home and read Sake-no-wa, I found that Aladdin-san drank the exact same sake😇.
I'll leave all the comments to Aladdin, but they are all delicious even though they are completely different from both the Izumi and Jikin sakes we compared 😇.
The deep, sweet and umami flavor of the Imi is outstanding, the sweet, umami, bitter and spicy of the Jikin is well balanced, and the fresh, delicious rice flavor of the Shinsei Viridian can be enjoyed...they are all delicious😇!
It was a nice and tasty home drinking comparison😇 アラジンGood evening, Yasbay 😃.
Sorry to hear about the Hirai sake brewery, but I'm sure your mother is pleased 😊.
Viridian, I envy you for your ongoing drinking as our bottles are already empty 😄.
It's an awesome drinking experience, I can't believe you're drinking at home: ☺️ shinsaku3Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
I am sure your mother will be pleased 😊.
Jikkomai with its balance of sweet, tasty, bitter and spicy, and Shinsei with its sense of rice.
That's exactly my impression 😃.
I'd like to try it since I've never had it before 😦.
Looks delicious 😋. ポンちゃんYasube, thank you for making the long trip in the cold 😊.
Sorry to hear about Hirai Shoten, but I'm sure your mother must be pleased ✨This delicious sake will be a good memorial service 🙏. ヤスベェGood evening, Aladdin 😀
I'm too chicken to drink hard-to-find sake unless I have a reason for doing so 🤣.
On the other hand, if I have a reason, I'll open the bottle continuously 😅.
I'd like to drink and compare the sake for the next 4 days 😇 ヤスベェsinsaku 3, good evening 😀
I'm thankful that I can get Imi-san at least once a year at a liquor store near me 😀.
Is there a liquor store where I can get Niimasa-san regularly, so I can open a bottle normally... 🤣. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
Hirai Sake Brewery said their store was closed irregularly, so I just assumed they were open on days when customers are more likely to gather!
Asakayou-san is in a liquor store I frequent so I don't have to go there 😅. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpic 31
Snow Dharma Drinking Comparison 2️⃣
Today, I'm going to try Izumihashi Junmai Activated Nigori.
It took me quite a while to open the bottle even though it was stored at a low temperature, but I was able to get the supernatant and compare the two 😀.
Compared to yesterday's new sake Kouyuki Junmai Ginjo, which had a beautiful taste even among nigori, this one has a nice, bubbly taste with a firm rice flavor 😀.
Even though they are from the same company, the basic taste is similar, but different nuances are well expressed in this sake😇.
I love the sparkling taste of the active nigori 😇 ポンちゃんGood morning, Yasube-san 🐥.
I see that you also got the number of ⛄️ that can be used for the festival 😆 That's great👍Izumibashi, not only the color of the label, but also the look of ⛄️ 😳It's cute 🤔I saw ❣️ and thought this one is more to my liking 🤔. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃.
Including the Tochigi sake that comes out ahead 🤗Snowman⛄️ drinking comparison is great👍.
Wakata's theory that active nigori is absolutely delicious is alive and well 😋. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon 😀
This year, I picked up only delicious snow dalmations to make Nigorinpikku, too😇.
Even in my imagination, I think Pon-chan prefers this one 😇. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I'm also doing this nigorinpic and all the sake tastes are so different from each other that I never get tired of drinking them in a row😇.
But I still think my favorite nigori sake is active nigori 😀. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpic 30
Snowdrift drinking contest 1️⃣
Today, I saw powder snow flurries for the first time this season😇.
Sorry to those who are having a hard time with the heavy snowfall, but it doesn't snow around me in Osaka and finally today I saw powder snow falling around me for the first time 🤣.
I have been planning to hold a Snow Dharma Festival since the day I saw the snow falling for the first time, but finally today I am going to hold a Snow Dharma Drinking Contest😇.
This year's Snow Dharma drinking comparison will be a simple 5 bottle event with 2 types of Izumihashi and 3 types of Sengoku Snow Dharma 😀 😀 The first one is a new sake, Izumihashi.
We will start with Izumihashi's newest sake, Shiboritate Powder Snow Nigori Sake.
It's a stable taste 😇.
Last year, we had a similar group of people compare the three types of Yukidharma sake, and it was just as good as last year's. 😀 The remaining 4 bottles of Yukidharma were all new to us.
I'm looking forward to the remaining 4 bottles of Snow Dharma 😇 haniwa56My first snowman. I've been meaning to buy one every year, but couldn't, so I finally did.
The aroma is indescribable. The silky taste of nigori and the petitiveness of nama-shu. The balance is exquisite. Just as I had hoped. The alcohol content is low, so it's easy to drink. Delicious! My wife and I finished the bottle together. I hope we can buy it again next year. haniwa56Purchased for warming sake. I drank it cold right after opening the bottle, but it had little aroma and drank like water. I heard it was recommended to be heated, so I immediately heated it up. It was delicious with a nice aroma and a sharp taste. It is easy to drink and delicious. I drank it cold (at room temperature) 3 or 4 days later, but the aroma was sweet and full. It is also delicious at room temperature. haniwa56My daughter came over on New Year's Day with her grandson and opened the bottle. It's been a while since I've had a Silver 7 draft. It is easy to drink and tastes good. Whatever you drink in Yokoyama, it's delicious. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
