Rafa papaChokyu Tachiharu Asa Shibori Junmai Ginjyo Nama-zake
This year is a bad year 😭
I had a gomadaki at the Setsubun Festival at Shohikona Shrine to purify my bad luck 😭.
I had my bad luck exorcised at the Setsubun Festival gomadaki at Shohikona Shrine 🔥.
I'm sure I'll be fine now... 😮💨
And...
I drank my first Risshun morning aperitif 😊.
It's the first time I drank it super kyu. ✌️
Sake I didn't know before...
It's a sake from Wakayama 😅
Very tasty... 😋.
Freshness...
It has the roughness of new sake.
Excellent acidity and sharpness, and it goes together beautifully.
From sashimi to strong flavored food...
It is a food sake that can be paired with anything!
I would like to try other sake as well 😁.
I also did exorcism... ⛩️
Eat ehoumaki (sushi rolls)... 🍙...
Drinking Risshun morning pressed sake 🍶...
Wash the car for the first time in a while 🚗...
Played tennis as usual 🎾...
It was a very nice weekend 🤣. マナチーHi Rafa😃I've never cared about bad years or anything until now‼️I can't be bothered with the bad years before or after or 3 years 🤣.
I washed my bike and car over the weekend too🏍️🚘 but snow forecast for today☃️ ポンちゃんHi Rafa 🐦.
I see you are having a bad year 😳I feel relieved to have an exorcism! Like that's important 😊I'll be even more okay after drinking the Risshun Shibori 😆👍. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Rafa papa 🌆.
I missed the Risshun Asa Shibori this year too 😆.
I haven't had Chokyu yet, but I'm getting interested... Rafa papaGood evening Mr. Manachy😃
When I was young I didn't care about bad years... 😅as I get older I care more 😁I hadn't washed my car in a while but it was raining in Osaka today ☔😭. Rafa papaGood evening, Pon-chan😃.
Shohikona Shrine is on my way to work and I pay my respects every morning before going to work 😊I think I'm good to go now that they burned the goma 😌I only put my money in every morning once in a while 😅. Rafa papaGood evening, Haruei Chichi 😃.
I drank Risshun Asa Shibori for the first time this year🤣the sake I wanted to drink was fully booked but Chokyu was very good too 😋I was able to drink the freshly pressed sake... and I was very happy to meet new sake 😌. さしゅーRafa papa Good evening. It is a sake that can be tasted only at this time. It is a happy time, isn't it? I am happy to be able to taste the sake at this time of the year. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Rafa papa 😃.
That means I will soon be in a bad year too! I didn't know that😅I'll check if there is an exorcism set that comes with sake or something like that😆It's a relief to have a good weekend to exorcise the bad luck 🤗. あおちゃんGood morning Rafa papa😊.
It's a bad year, isn't it?
Risshun squeezing and ehomaki exorcising bad luck ⛩️
I am sure you will be healthy!
Although you shouldn't drink too much alcohol 😁.
I can't drink Risshun Shibori every year either 😭 Rafa papaGood morning, Sashiu 😃
It's a special experience because you can only taste the sake now 🤣It was also nice to drink a sake I've never had before😊It was an affordable exorcism where you just write your name and age on a gomagi tree and have it burned 😁. Rafa papaGood morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I bought a gomagi for 500 yen and got a voucher for zenzai, which I received after the gomadaki and made and ate at home 😋I guess there's sake too if you look for it somewhere 🤣. Rafa papaGood morning Ao-chan 😃
I'll be careful 😅I'll be careful 😁The Risshun Asa Shibori is available at a liquor store 15 minutes walk from my office 🤣I'm new to liquor store ✌️ ヤスベェGood morning, Rafa papa 😀
It was my first Risshun since I started drinking sake, so I didn't know about this kind of sake 😅.
After reading Rafa papa's post, I drank out safely even though it was late! Rafa papaGood evening, Mr. Yasbay😃.
I didn't know about it 2 years ago 🥲 and last year it was over when I found out 😅I was hoping to make it this year but the application deadline for spring deer was already over 😭 still I was lucky to be able to drink the super kyu ✌️ Tabika特別純米 無濾過生原酒 神の穂特別純米原酒生酒無濾過 Rafa papaTamitsu Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu
Kami no Ho
Following the Tazake Special Jun Yamadanishiki...
It's not "Denkou", it's "Tabika".
It's not "Denko", it's "Tabika" 🤣.
It's "Tabika" 🤣...
I think I might have mistaken the labels...
I like Tazake, but I love Denkou too...
I love Tazake but I love Denko too
And yet it's been a long time since I've had a Tamitsu 😅...
Beautiful and refreshing like Tamitsu ✨.
It's just harder and heavier than I expected...
2 days later...
Taste opened up and very tasty... 😋...
This is it, this is it👍‼️
Soft flavor and beautiful acidity...
The bitterness that felt heavy is now rounded out
It is a good accent 😌...
Tasake and Tamitsu are both delicious 🤤.
Taste and clarity are similar... 😁. ヤスベェHi Rafa papa 😃
I was fooled too 🤣.
When I saw the picture, I thought it was the sake comparison from the other day, but when I looked closer... ❓It's not quite the same 😅.
I haven't had the tamitsu yet 🤣. boukenHello Rafa 😃
When I started drinking sake I used to read it as Tako😅.
I see you also go to Nagata Shoten 😁. ポンちゃんHi Rafa 🐦.
If Tazake was labeled with black letters, I would really get it wrong 😆 I also like Tazuke a little bit better 😊I haven't had it for a year, so I want to drink it before I forget 💦. Rafa papaGood evening Mr. Yasube 😃.
You must have thought it was tazuke 🤣poof, you'd be wrong 😁but tamitsu is not fake, it's the real thing 👍‼️ it's delicious 😋. Rafa papaGood evening, bouken 😃
I've never had Risshun Asashibori before and I applied for Nagata Sake Shop, Chokyu 😅I thought it would be easy to go get it since it's a 15 minute walk from my office 🤔I then walked to Umeda, so I walked a lot 🤣... Rafa papaGood evening, Pon-chan 😃
Tamitsu seems to be made very carefully 😊I wonder if that's why it feels hard when opened 🙄 but it's clean and refreshing and I love this kind of sake 🥰. こぞうMr. Rafapapa
Good morning 😊.
I also got this tamitsu the other day 😊as per papa's repo, the change on the second day was much better 😍. Rafa papaGood evening, Kozou-san 😃
Kozo-san drank too 🤣The first day was much harder, but the second day was full of the goodness of Tamitsu and very tasty 😋. boukenThis place is more famous for its shochu, Ginza no Suzume.
I've bought it at a tasting and sale in Hankyu before, but I didn't know they served fresh sake 😳.
They use locally produced Nihonbaru and Gohyakumangoku.
It is fresh and has a good balance of sweet and spicy. The acidity is quite impressive.
Not very distinctive?
I'll check a little more and add more 🤔.
It tastes like banana and melon when I drink it again.
Is it a bit gassy? boukenThis is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place.
According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki.
The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite.
Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔.
I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself? boukenI bought it at Nagata Shoten, but I wonder if it's a spot shipment. I don't think they usually carry them.
The ginjo aroma is calm but gorgeous. It has a juicy flavor with a little bit of a rustic quality. It's delicious, but I felt it was a bit quieter than the other Eiko-Fuji wines.
As is typical of Eiko-Fuji, this sake seems to be brewed from No. 1 to No. 4, and the specifications are slightly different, so the sweetness and other characteristics must be different. This one has a lower alcohol content than the others.
The taste changes a lot after opening the bottle, so I would recommend drinking it as soon as possible. I think it has a stronger bitter taste. Rafa papaGood morning, bouken 😃.
Eiko Fuji is one of the sake that I want to drink but haven't 🥲I thought about going to Nagata Shoten, but I see they have spot shipment 😢. boukenGood morning Rafa papa 😀
I wish there would be more special stores in urban areas as well 😢. ポンちゃんHi bouken😊
I don't see Eiko-Fuji here, so I'm in a state where I don't know where I can buy it 😭I really wish they would put it near me 🙏. boukenHi Pon-chan 🌀
Eiko-Fuji, in the Kyoto area, there is only one Kikuya in Otokoyama danchi near Camphor Station 🤔There is one in Osaka and one in Hyogo, but all of them are difficult to access 😢. ポンちゃんI'll have to go to camphor next time i'm in the area! Thank you very much 🙇⤵️ boukenI was told that a 4-gouge bottle of Hanayu was released this year as well, so I hurried to buy it. I was told that Omachi was also released this year, so I chose Omachi. It was fruity and sweeter than the Rikuwada we drank last year.
The Rikuwada had a strong bitter taste at the end, but the Omachi has a gentle sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste.
It tastes more refreshing when drunk in parallel with Wakamusume or Honkin. spkhbouken, excuse me here too!
I️️have seen the information on the instagram of my favorite liquor store today, but it was sold out while I was in summer resort 😭The precious 4gou bottle.... Too bad! T.KISOGood evening, bouken😄.
Congratulations on your GET 🎉!
Rikuwada has a peculiar taste, but Omachi has a delicious flavor that goes in easily 🤣. boukenspkh-san, I went there almost a week after the information about the arrival, but I was able to buy them 👍The liquor store I visited today had both in stock, so I wonder if there is a regional difference 🤔. boukenGood evening, T.KISO 😀
I personally preferred the Oumachi one as it had a more obvious taste than the Rikuwada 😊I hope they will serve the raw one in a 4-portion next time 🥺. boukenThey didn't have the sake I was looking for (I didn't ask the waiter because it was too much trouble), so I went with Nanamizu and Tsuchida, which were lined up in various ways.
It was a little gassy and had fine bubbles in the glass.
The aroma and taste are very fruity. As the label on the back says, it tastes like a mix of fruits. The sweetness is clear without being overpowering. boukenI was surprised when I saw the sake brewery here on Street View and it looks like it's surrounded by buildings in the center of Utsunomiya. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening bouken 😃.
I have the same one waiting for me in the fridge 😆.
I'm looking forward to drinking it after seeing your comment 😊. えりりんbouken, congrats on the decision!
This looks delicious🤤.
I'll look for some. boukenGood evening, Jay & Nobby.
Considering the type of alcohol you are drinking, I'm sure you won't go wrong with this 🤗. boukenGood evening, Eririn-san.
I think there are still some if you look for them, so please try to drink them 😉. boukenThere is no description, but it is said to be a raw sake. It's refreshing and has the feeling of a refreshing apple. It's a type of summer sake. So if you are expecting a sweet taste, it may be different from your image. It's a little cloudy and has a slight tang. boukenIt's a little different from what I was expecting. There are apples that look more like apples even if they don't claim to be apples, and there are apples like Koko apples... boukenThere's a decent amount of appleiness, though. There's also a bit of fizziness. boukenThis looks like he's using CEL24 yeast. boukenFor CEL24, I'd rather have Kamesen, Katsuragi or Kure. boukenThere's also a sake called Toyonoume no Itookashi that's a CEL24, but I'm not sure if I prefer it to that. It was a long time ago, so I can't say for sure. 八幡川くだもの ぷしゅっと苺みるく 活性生酒純米生酒にごり酒発泡 boukenWith all due respect, I've never seen this brewery before, and I first learned about it from a liquor store's SNS. The aroma is definitely strawberry milk-like. Right after opening the bottle, the sweetness is a little low and it feels spicy, but it also tastes like strawberry milk. I've heard that it gets even more strawberry milk-like after a while, so I'll let it sit for a while. boukenThe last time I drank it, it was the same as the Kame-Wari Drinks, but it's made from rice called Shin-Senbon. boukenSome of the fruit series feel a bit like an afterthought. boukenIt didn't get any sweeter or more strawberry milk-y after two days. boukenIt's been about 4 days and the strawberry milkiness may have increased. The sweetness seems to be decreasing. boukenThe label shows the address of Osaki City where Ichinokura is located, but Kinryu is a sake from the Kinryu brewery in Kurihara City.
It has a gorgeous fruity aroma, a clean sweet flavor, a little bitterness, and a sharp finish. The sharpness is rather good.
It has a slightly alcoholic aroma in places.
This is the first time I've had Kuranohana rice. boukenThis is the last of the drinks I opened during GW. boukenI think I'm gentler than I was when I first opened it. boukenI think it tastes better after a week or so. boukenFluffy drink as it says. Moderately sweet and fluffy. Gentle taste. It is soothing. And yet, there is a strong presence of sake. boukenClean and a little sweet. It has a mineral taste. This is the first time I've seen Koimari, so I bought it. The concept seems to be "Age up, Age up". I'm not privy to the specs, but I think it's about as polished as a Daiginjo. 0081It's called "sweetness" and it's true to its word
This is easy to drink and dangerous.
It's my first time in a bottle and I want to enjoy the change. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
