I bought it at IMADEYA Ekinka store in Chiba station, which was one of the stores I wanted to visit. It is good that I can stop by without going out of the ticket gate - I want to have it in my commuting area. I would have liked to visit the main store, but I gave up early after checking the location....
Now, let's see how the NEKUSUTO 5 is doing......yes, it is too delicious. It had just the right amount of flavor and fruity taste, and I drank too much while savoring it. This is the kind of wine I like.
The following is a complete digression:
The reason I went to Chiba station in the first place was to meet someone I had met through a certain game 21 years ago, but I regretted that I had to bother him because he was so hungry that he was dying of gastroenteritis. Why do I do this at a time like this?
Well, the reason I met him now is because he suddenly started talking about suicide and was mentally unstable (although he had been hospitalized by a psychiatrist and seemed to have calmed down by the time I met him).
Two days later, he was completely dead with a fever of 38.6 degrees Celsius and terrible diarrhea.
Good evening, Mr. Freelancer Ichiyo Otoko 😃.
I see you are in IMADEYA station! and I'm more interested in the snakeskin... I'm sorry you're feeling so bad 😓Stomach aches when you go out are really tough 💦but I think seeing you and hearing your story helped your friend too 😌.
Hello, Jay and Nobby!
The head office is in a different location, but I gave up on it because it is very difficult to get to by train and on foot;
I was in the worst shape, but I couldn't miss them and I was glad to see them!
Junmai Ginjo🍶Hoshiai⭐️ Summer Pilgrimage Sake🏖.
Like a summer sake with prayers 🤔Maybe I wanted to have it with Tanabata 🎋😅.
Sweet and sour aroma. Lactic acid type? Shuwa✨. Sweet and sour as expected. It has a good flavor, but it is a refreshing summer sake 🏖. It is not defeated by fried burdock with sweet and spicy flavor. You can feel the sharpness. I want to drink it on a hot day.

KINO 2 Ise Nishiki🌾.
They revived a phantom indigenous rice 🤔.
Dry melon🍈I thought it might be a little harsh because of its strong taste🤔It is delicious with fried burdock with sweet and spicy sauce to soften the harshness a little😋.

The last time I drank it was in January this year. Compared to the taste impressions I wrote down at that time, my tastes have changed. When I told this to the manager of Bikouya, he said, "Tastes and preferences change all the time.
★★★★☆ Delicious. I want to drink it again.
This has nothing to do with Houken, but I went on a tour of one of the breweries. I was surprised to see that it was quite mechanized. Well, it is a factory, just like a beer factory. It was a bit disappointing. Of course, there are some things that are prepared by hand.
The conversation with the young man who guided us around was quite good.
It's delicious.
If it's bubbles, I like to enjoy them even before drinking. It is blissful to watch multiple bands of fine bubbles rising in the air. Well, then, champagne is fine, but I would be happy to enjoy sake as well. But unfortunately, I can't enjoy it as much as I would like to because of the composition of the liquid and whether or not there is any residues in it.
It is delicious. But a little more.

Y+S. The label states the seller: Shigeke Shuzo K.K. Y+S. The label says the brewer: Shigeke Shuzo Co. Where is it? I googled. I guess it is Y of Yokoyama Brewery and S of Sumikawa Brewery. And then, I looked at the street view. Yokoyama Brewery is located in a peaceful landscape. The taste of Yokoyama Goju is somehow just right. It would be even better if we drink it here.
★★★★☆ Delicious. I want to drink again.

I haven't taken an international flight in two years. According to JAL's website, "Bikuyo Junmai Daiginjyo Mai" and "Sawaya Matsumoto Moribashira Omachi" are available on board. I want to drink them. The description of the Bikuyo says it has "moderate spiciness in the aftertaste". I think this is what I felt when I drank Kamikawa Taisetsu. Fruity sweetness followed by moderate spiciness.
★★★☆☆☆ Delicious.

Sake-no-wa national ranking. 100 brands to drink. Toyo Bijin is ranked 24th, clearing one spot. How much more is there? Instead of looking at all the rankings, I'm going to try out the Sake-no-wa API. I check the data and see if there are any more brands. Will it take 6 months or a year to clear the ranking?
★★★★☆ Delicious. I want to drink again.
