Timeline
猫punchS〆M😃I fell in love with Nagano sake after my trip to Nagano last year and started to try different kinds of sake 😊I checked in a year ago when I had Beaumichel for the first time 😅All Nagano sake is really good 😋💕It's not only the sake but the food is good too 🫶.
I love it because it's my kind of sake ♬ it's good for beginners 🔰 and for women 🤲 but Beaumichel is only 500ml and the volume is very small so it's going to run out soon. I love it 🤲 but the Beaumichel is only 500ml so it runs out quickly 💦.
Label: 🏷️
Difficulty: low 😍
Soaking it in hot water helped it peel off nicely👍
Where to buy: IMANAKA SAKESHOP ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Cat 😃.
Nagano trip is fun because there are many good places to visit, both sake breweries and liquor stores 🤗.
Ahh 😩I'm tempted to go back 🥹. 猫punchS〆MGood evening Jay & Nobby 👋😄!
Yes, Nagano makes you want to go back again and again😊The breweries, the liquor stores, the food, the location, everything is just too much fun😍Ah 😩 we understand your feelings very much 😘. 
猫punchS〆M😅I haven't been able to open this year's bottle yet 💦It will be the first check-in from last year in 2024 😆I can't wait to drink it after seeing your check-ins, but it will be a while yet as I'm still digesting my stock from September of production 😂💦.
It's so popular that last year I was on the edge of my seat when the beetles were released and couldn't meet the timing of the arrival of the neighboring stores 💓 fortunately I managed to bring them home with me as they have multiple arrivals 😆🥰.
So I didn't want to miss my first ⛄️ so I popped two bottles online 🐕🤭💕 ⛄️ I've been waiting 🎵 so I opened one bottle ignoring the stock digestion order since I have two bottles 😍 I made love to it so delicious that I forgot to take a picture 😍 I gulped it down 😋 lol
I think you know how it tastes 🍶😍I hope you will try it if you haven't yet 🤭I rather prefer this one ⛄️ although I love beetles too😍Thank you for the drink 😍Thank you for the drink 😋.
The label 🏷️
I can't peel it off so I'm decorating the bottle to make love to you

IMANAKA SAKESHOP ジェイ&ノビィHi Cat 😃
So you are a year late with your first snowman ☃️!
I'm looking forward to seeing this year's snowman ☃️ 猫punchS〆MJay & Nobby, good evening 👋👋😊👋
Yes 😂I still have some unchecked in from last year so I'm going back and forth between this year and last year and it's going to get confusing 😅💦It hasn't snowed here yet so I'll drink when it does 🤭. スータローンHi Cat 😃
I know exactly how you feel about gulping down a delicious bottle of Snowman 😋.
I went through a whole bottle of Yonggou too 😄. 猫punchS〆MGood evening, Mr. Sutalone 👋😆
I know 😍I'll be there 😆.
I really like the brand, I think I could have a bottle of it 🤭ppp ヤスベェ❤️ Hunter 1️⃣ bottle
This year, besides nigori type sake, I would like to challenge myself a little bit with sake rice 😀.
Besides Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, which are two of the most popular sake rice, I especially love Aizan and the sake rice of the region where it is brewed 😀.
Among them, here is the ❤️ challenge with Aizan 😀.
The first bottle was Aizan by Matsu no Tsukasa, who brewed Mizuki last year, a sake from Shiga that was brought to us by Kyukura and was delicious 😀.
Actually, it is chilled until just before drinking each time, but I take it in another glass to bring it to room temperature a little first, and the beautiful aroma is already wafting from there 😀.
It has a lovely aroma like well ripened melon or apple 😀.
When I put it back to room temperature and put it in my mouth, the fruitiness was even more rampant 🤣.
The fruity feeling that is characteristic of Aizan can be felt in both the aroma and the taste😇.
It was beautifully delicious and yet not cloyingly sweet and tasty, which made me happy 😀.
Actually, next to this bottle, there was a bottle of Omachi with the same specs, but I had to give up on the Omachi due to cellar reasons😅.
If I had more time, I would definitely like to compare different sake rice 😀. ma-ki-Good evening, Yasube!
Sake rice hanting has started 🎵
I also received this one and it is a delicious sake 😋.
I see... I'll try to bring it to room temperature too 🤗. ヤスベェGood morning, ma-ki.
I'm glad to hear that your impression is similar to mine 😀.
I still find it easier to taste and smell at room temperature, so I take a small amount and let it come to room temperature before drinking it 😀.
It's good to enjoy different temperatures as well. 🙆♂️ ヤスベェOri Hunter 3️⃣th bottle
Today's sake is Yuki no Bijin-san, which is the first time I've had it, including the clear sake 😀.
As expected of an active nigori, you can feel the great piquancy 😀.
I managed to prevent it from blowing out, but the automatic stirring was about to start and even the supernatant has a little bit of oriki mixed in 😅.
Still, I could taste the difference in taste from the fully mixed stuff 🤣.
The supernatant was very sharp and conveyed a straighter taste 😀.
The mixed sake conveyed a more rounded taste and fruitiness better and more suited to our taste preferences😇
I have never had a clear sake so I don't know what the base Yuki no Bijin tastes like, but I could imagine that the clear sake is probably a delicious fruity sake as well😇. ヤスベェFollowing yesterday's Ash, today we opened a bottle of Flax Cat Sparkling 😀.
It's hard to open a bottle of a sake that you can't open often, so you have to be very active to open a bottle 🤣.
All I've been able to get lately is regular Flaxcat, and it's been a really long time since I've had a bottle of Flaxcat Sparkling 😀.
I guess it depends on your taste, but I personally prefer sparkling 😇.
But still, it's a very energetic drink and I haven't had a blowout in a while 😅.
I couldn't believe it was made in a wooden vat with the same raw yeast as Ash, I could feel fruits reminiscent of muscat, probably from the acidity derived from the bubbles😇.
Personally, Flax Cat Sparkling is one of my top favorite sakes from Shinsei 😀.
I also enjoyed today's sake comparison😇 ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay😃.
We love Flax Cat Spark too 🤗I can't forget that first time I drank it 🥹😌I honestly can't get over that after the second bottle 😅But it's delicious! ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
I too was so shocked the first time I drank it that after that I could only comment on how good it tasted no matter how many times I drank it 🤣. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦🐦.
The first time I drank Shinsei was with Flax Cat Spark, so it's a memorable taste for me too😊It's not easy to come across this one too, so I might forget to blow it 😆.
But still, it's a luxurious drinking experience 😍. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
I see that Pon-chan did the same😇.
If the first one is shocking, you won't be able to say another word 🤣.
I can't open the bottle if there's nothing to open, on the other hand, when I do, it keeps on going 😅. ヤスベェToday was a nice day, so we opened a bottle of KOCHIRA Shinsei 😀.
I've had most of the Niimasa Colors, but this is the first time I've had the all-black label Suiboku 😀.
I've heard that it tastes better if it's aged for a while, so I aged it in the freezing cellar for more than a year😇.
I could not feel any aging at all, in fact, the taste was rather beautiful and I could feel the fresh yeast and wooden vat feeling 😇.
I knew that Shinmasa is a great sake 😀. Nao888Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞I've been too luckless with Shinsei to come across it lately 😭I'm impressed that you aged it to improve sake quality ✨I would have let it age on its own because it's too good to be true 😅. ワカ太Good morning, Yasbay 😃A year-old ash on a slightly better day, quintessential ✨A great day is made for a good drink when you're feeling good 👍✨. ヒロHi Yasbay 😃
Good day to open a good drink ❗️ I see ❗️
I want to learn from you as I don't have the courage to open a good bottle even on a good day 🤣. ヤスベェGood evening, Nao888 😀
I heard from sakéwa information that it tastes better if you leave it longer, so I left it for more than a year, but if I leave it any longer, I'm afraid I'll forget about it 😅. ヤスベェGood evening, Wakata!
I can't open the bottle without some reason, so I'm hoping to open it for something a little better to make me feel better 🤣.
I'm glad you asked about it at Sake no Wa and let it mature😇. ヤスベェHi Hiro, good evening 😀
Personally, I like Shinshu Kamerei and Jikin more among the pre-sake, so Shinmasa might not need that much courage to open the bottle 🤣.
I can't open a bottle of 🐢 without a bigger reason 😅. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasbaye 😃.
It's a great thing that the Yasbaye family can prepare a good drink 😊 on a day when things are a little better: ‼️ ヤスベェGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
If you can't usually open a bottle of sake, you'll miss the chance to drink it if you don't open it for some reason, even if it's just a little bit 🤣. ポンちゃんHi Yasbaye 🐦.
Opening a good drink on a good day, that's a phrase I'd like to put up as a poster in my liquor store ✨Ash I haven't seen it since I went over budget and passed on it 💦 I'm jealous that I haven't been able to drink it 😍. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon 😀
Of all the Colors, Ash was the only one I hadn't had before, so I couldn't help myself 🤣.
But now that I've had it once, maybe 2 bottles of Cosmos would be better next time😅. haniwa56It was getting chilly and I wanted some heated sake, so I went to a liquor store. I was attracted by the label, which looked like it would warm up the sake, so I bought it. I started with it at room temperature. It was clean, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is easy to drink, clean and refreshing, with a bit of bitterness and astringency afterwards. As the name suggests, it is easy to drink.
Next, I tried it lukewarm. The flavor of the rice comes out and it's nice and mild. There is a slight bitterness at the end, but not enough to be bothersome.
Next, we tried it topped up with warm sake. The rice flavor is still there, but the bitterness and astringency are gone. It can be served at any temperature. We had it with bonito tataki and wakasagi tempura. It was delicious. 猫punchS〆MThis is a check-in from a trip to Shinshu🚗 where I first drank Meikyojosui and wanted to drink it, so I popped in last year around this time 🤩.
It was a delicious sake with a melon-like head and apple-like notes, light and smooth with no peculiarities. ☺️ I would recommend it as a food sake that doesn't interfere with food 🫶✨.
Label🏷️
Low difficulty 😍
It's glued on so it's easy to peel off when soaked in hot water!
Where to buy: IMANAKA SAKESHOP 猫punchS〆MI love to make love to you, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to catch it 🙂 I haven't caught it yet this year so I don't know the difference 😂I'm a 🔰 drinker to begin with. I love Sentori, I've never had a bad experience with it so far 😋😋I'm also a fan of Kazuki, the owner of the brewery 😋😋😋😋😋. 🫶✨
The label 🏷️
Keep it in the bottle because the label is so cute 🫶.
Where to buy: Meishu Honpo IMANAKA SAKESHOP ヤスベェThank you for participating in the kurabiraki 🙏1️⃣ 7️⃣
As bouken-san commented, there is also a sparkling version of this sake with the same appearance 😀.
I actually misunderstood when I bought it and thought it was sparkling, but when I got home and looked closer, it was clear sake 🤣.
I had it in my cellar with the intention of opening it someday, and I'm glad I caught your eye and was able to open it😇. ヤスベェThank you for participating in the brewery opening 🙏1️⃣ 1️⃣
For the 11th bottle out of 12 of my choice, I chose a Kijo sake 😀.
I had prepared a cake to celebrate Kaorin's birthday on the 23rd, the day before, but the timing was off because the excitement of the occasion was unexpectedly fast 🤣.
Thank you all for being so considerate and blurring the candles🤣. ポンちゃんYasbay, here we go too 😊.
Once again, happy birthday to Kaorin 🎉🎂🎂 you changed your plans because you tried to say it flying 😳 very sorry about that 💦🙏💦.
Candles 🤣 かおりんThanks, Pon! 🕯️ has been opened💦. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
We are undecided about our plans, so it was totally fine 🤣.
The Yasbay house is always open for everything, so age candles are fine too😇. ヤスベェI received Mr. Tatenokawa's Hakuba no Kishi no Tabidachi followed by Mr. Tatenokawa's Hakuba no Kishi no Kensetsu (Adventures of a Knight on a White Horse) which I received before 😀.
I am sure it will be this season's Nigorinpic 103, but I don't feel like I drank much nigori sake because it is so thin ogorigara 🤣.
However, I compared the nigori-zake with the supernatant that had been brought to room temperature and the supernatant that had been mixed with the nigori-zake, and they were both delicious and had their own distinct flavors 😇.
Of course, we preferred the mixed syochu liqueur more 🤣. chika103 too awesome🤣👍👍🍶✨✨
Aim for 200🤣👍✨✨ ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
It's great that you always drink and compare the supernatant and the mixed one ✨.
I've been drinking it mixed from the beginning because I like it better 😂. ヤスベェGood evening, chika!
Oh no, you can't do it 🤣
You're going at a very fast pace😅. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon!
We love nigori, so we often conclude that it tastes better when mixed with other ingredients. ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpik 98
Today, we will open a bottle of Yamashiroya's WABI WABI 😀.
All of the Shuwashuwa Nigori that I have been drinking recently were second fermentation in the bottle, but this one is made by adding carbon dioxide gas to the sake made from the original sake brewing process to make it shuwashuwa 🤣.
The sourness from the solid carbonation is similar, but it's more like a dryer sizzling sensation, which was a fun encounter with a lot of variety 😀. haniwa56It's been a long time since I've been to Yokoyama. The 1814 is one of my favorites, aromatic, fruity, and tasty.
The aroma and the refreshing feeling that spreads in the mouth are indescribable.
It is a delicious sake with a delicious flavor. It goes well with sashimi. My wife also enjoyed it. ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpic 96
A bit of clear sake has been added, but the Nigorinpic is still going on 😀.
Hyogo sake from Banshu Issen 😀.
We had a bottle of Senzuke's White Koji Activated Nigori 😇.
First of all, the label didn't look much like Senzuke's, I thought it might be Ni-Utari...but the word Senzuke was hidden behind the rabbit 🤣.
It was a low alcohol sake, but it had a lot of ori and a robust taste, full of flavor and delicious 😇.
Banshu Issen was more fruity, but this Senzuke has a more robust flavor with more rice flavor 😇 Nao888Good morning, Yasube 🌞I haven't had Senzuke for a few years, but I remember being offered a dry, rice-like clear sake directly from the brewery 🍶I thought it was hot, but it was gone quickly, so it must have been delicious ✨. ポンちゃんHi Yasube, 🐦.
I didn't see this label Senzuke 😳I thought it was another brewery because I couldn't see the faint 😆 Senzuke's active 🦍🦍 is surely delicious! ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasubeyesan😃.
Senzuke-san is one I would like to drink😍but I haven't encountered it in Utsunomiya🥲White koji & active nigori ‼️ are the only elements that make it delicious😋 Oh! I want to drink it🥹. ヤスベェGood evening, Nao888!
I had a strong image of dryness in Senzuke's sake, so I couldn't get my hands on it, but this white malted rice sake is very easy to drink and you can hardly feel the dryness😇.
Senzuke also has a variety of sakes so be sure to check them out 😇 ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
Just like the label on Pon-chan's sake the other day, if you don't look closely, you can't tell which brewer's sake it's from🤣.
You really can't tell which brewer it's from unless you look closely 🤣 It's a definite sake.
I hope you will try it too 😇. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
As I said, the ease of obtaining sake is totally different depending on the region 🤣.
Please come back to Kansai and enjoy Nada and Fushimi sake again 😇
We will be happy to take you on a tour of the Kansai sake breweries 😇. 
Nao888It's been a while since I've had a reason to go away for a while, so I went for Kangiku, but I didn't expect to find Kukai Ras 1 🍶After worrying about Hoshikai, I thought this might be fate and brought it to you: ☺️
The first time I opened the bottle, I felt like my palms were bruised by the jupon💨I couldn't stop grinning😁The top aroma is gentle, reminiscent of pear and melon 🍈In the mouth, there's a tight gas feeling and a bitter bitterness from the sweetness that is typical of Kangiku, and it's sweet but it goes away quickly ✨It's sweet and juicy, of course it stands on its own. It's sweet and juicy, of course, so it stands on its own, but it's not too sweet, so it can also be used as a food sake. ☺️This is the sake that Hina Hana Mama has been praising 🥰I'm going away for a month at a time, so I'm going to revive my aim for Kangiku ✨. ひなはなママGood evening Nao888😄!
This is such a nice review🥹I'm in tears. I am so grateful to be able to share this deliciousness with you 🥰I feel destined for the last one 🤩Please support cold chrysanthemum with me: ❣️ ma-ki-Good evening, Nao888!
Kukai and Hoshikai are troubling 😁.
I recently had one myself, and I remember thinking it was an excellent sake that wasn't just sweet as you reviewed 😋.
I'm looking forward to your next Kangiku post 🤗. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
Kangiku is one of my favorite sake, but I haven't been able to drink it lately because the timing hasn't been right 🤣.
Congratulations on getting the last one at the right time😇I'm going to look for it again 😅. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Nao888 😃.
Las one is the first one I'll pick up 😅.
Going away with a purpose makes it more fun to go 🤗. Nao888Good morning, HinaHanaMama 🌞I'm so sorry to hear that you are in tears 🙇I'm always grateful to you too 🥰I rely on your reviews, especially since my tastes are close to yours ✨I will of course support your chrysanthemum 🤗. Nao888Good morning, ma-ki-San🌞I have been drinking Kangiku consistently since the end of last summer, and I have found it to be even more delicious. ✨️ I can't wait for the future when I can drink Kukai, Hoshikai, and Aokai and compare them all 🤤. ポンちゃんNao888, good evening 🦉.
Congratulations on getting the ras1 🎉🎊I'm so happy for you 😆and it's still delicious❣️Nao888 you're going away too 🐦Good luck 📣. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛I only know a liquor store a little far from here, so it's hard to find the right timing 😅If I bump into you and you're a ras1, I'll give it to you: ☺️ Nao888Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛I was hit by the pull of Las One and it was a great decision 🤤It's hard to go far in this heat without a purpose 🥵but for sake💪. Nao888Good evening, Pon, 🌛Thank you 🥳I was happy to see you because I didn't think I would see you this quarter 😆I'm happy to say that it's not a big deal to go away 😅and it's a fun errand ✨️ haniwa56Capture the rhinoceros beetle!
It's acidic and refreshing. It's green apple type and delicious! It is perfect for summer. It has a nice aftertaste and is easy to drink. I can't stop drinking it.
I enjoyed it very much. ジェイ&ノビィHello, haniwa56 😃
Congratulations on the capture of the beetle 🌈㊗️ 🎉It's really a must-have summer treat 😋The only problem is that you finish it quickly 😆. haniwa56Hi Jay & Nobby 😃✨
It's really perfect for summer ✌️
We ran out of it quickly too 😄✨ ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpic 94
Today we opened a bottle of Banshu Issen's Summer Nigori...Junmai Ginjo Summer Usunigori😇.
The top aroma is not so strong, but it has a fluffy, pear-like fruity aroma 😀.
The moment it entered the mouth, the impression of light and clean water was suddenly accompanied by a fruity flavor with a slight effervescence 😇.
The taste finishes with a beautiful clean finish😇.
The nuance is quite different from the usual Banshu Issen, but this was also an outstandingly delicious sake😇. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasube!
We had it two summers ago 😋 It's a refreshing drink that's perfect for summer 😙. ‼️
I wrote 😁. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
I see that you two have already had a drink 😇.
This is my first time to drink Banshu Issen, and I had the same impression as you two 😀. ヤスベェI'm in the middle of a Kunisake Fair report...
I completely forgot about the June 6 Shinmasa day and missed it, so I'm going to follow Pon-chan's example and open a bottle of Shinmasa at the 666 check-in😇.
I had two left in the cellar, Ash and Ecru, so I was a little pondering which one to open 🤣.
I heard that Ash-san tastes better when it's laid to rest, so I'm going to give Ash-san a rest for a bit longer 🤣.
Compared to the Colors we've had so far, Ecru's unique acidity was impressive😇.
Thankfully this time we were able to compare it with Jikin-san's Omachi draft, but when I asked Kaorin which she liked better, she pointed to her glass of Ecru 🤣.
I am in awe of Jikin and Shinsei, I can't compare them, I like them both ❤️ ひなはなママGood evening, Yasube!
Congratulations on your 666 check-in 🎉🎊㊗️ and congratulations on your celebratory sake with a solid Shinsei, brilliant👍!
Comparing Jikin and Shinsei is also awesome 😆.
I hope you and Kaorin continue to enjoy your sake activities 💕. アラジンCongratulations on your 666 check-in, Yasbay: ㊗️🎉
I guess you have 66 bottles of sake in your house 😁.
Looks like it's about time for the sake beginners to get their feet wet 😆.
I'm looking forward to your walking sake brewery tour with Kaorin 🍶☺️ ma-ki-Good evening, Yasbay!
Congratulations on your 666 check-in 🎉.
You all usually have a stock of Shinsei and a quintessential sake vitality 😲.
I'm looking forward to more active sake reviews 🤗. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛Congratulations on your 6666 check-in 🥳It's amazing that you can bring Shinmasa 😳and that you can compare the drinks 😳😳It's indeed a tough choice 😅 エースGood evening, Yasbay 🌆.
Congratulations on your 666CI 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉㊗️
If you want to compare Shinsei and Jikin, it's totally 🙆♀️OK 😊👍
I'm afraid to compare Shinsei and Jikin because I like them both too 😄. ワカ太Hi Yasbay, 😃Congratulations on the 666 zoro㊗️🎉666 and ecru, as expected ✨I'm overwhelmed by all the amazing drinks, and I look forward to more of your dynamic drinking life 😆. ポンちゃんCongratulations on your 666 check-in, Yasube!
It's great that you've been drinking it properly ✨and comparing it with Jikin! I've never had Jikin at home so I'm even more envious 😻 ヤスベェThank you, HinaHanaMama 🙏.
I missed the June 6, but managed to get it here belatedly 🤣.
The timing was just right, so it was nice to be able to compare drinks, something I normally can't do 😀. ヤスベェThank you Aladdin 🙏.
They are growing slower as they get older, so I'll take them off beginner once they hit the 3 year mark 🔰🤣.
I've managed to keep my inventory at no more than 60 😅. ヤスベェThank you very much, ma-ki-!
I used to not be able to stock up on sake, but thanks to the purchase of a sake cellar, I can now take advantage of opportunities and collect more easily 😀.
But I'm running out of space, so I'm not going to go through the sake I want these days 🥲. ヤスベェThank you Nao888 🙏.
I was so worried that I bought a bottle of Jikin, so I even got to do a nice drinking comparison😇!
I've had a lot of luck with Niimasa at a liquor store in Osaka-Sayama 😇. ヤスベェThank you, Ace 🙏.
I don't have the courage to open a bottle of Niimasa even if it's there, so I open it for my own reasons 🤣.
I can't say which one is better because both Niimasa and Jikin are delicious 🤣. ヤスベェThank you, Wakata 🙏.
I just happened to have a nice lineup 🤣.
I usually don't have the courage to open a bottle of the good stuff, so when I have a reason to open a bottle, I seem to end up with a lot of sake 😅. ヤスベェThank you, Pon-chan 🙏.
I opened a bottle of Shinsei, copying Pon-chan 🤣.
I didn't know that Pon-chan, who has such a connection with Shinsei-san, doesn't have Jikin-san for home drinking😅.
I can still get Jikin-san more easily 🤣. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
