Timeline
tomoさんThe last two drinks at RIKI were put together
Tenth glass, Houou Mida, Blood Orange.
Liqueur.
There were only a few left, so we shared a glass on the rocks
Delicious orange juice!
11th glass - Kure Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi.
I've had a CEL-24 sake from Kurei before, but this was a different kind of dry sake 😋.
Not as dry as my impression of the old Kochi sake, but it was refreshing!
The all-you-can-drink time ended here: ⏳️
Except for the Houou Mita liqueur, we all shared 1 gou of sake, so we could still drink more 💨 tomoさんLet's keep going 😋.
9th cup: Ko no Tsukasa Akikaze
I got the impression that this was well-balanced and tasty (my impression is getting more and more doubtful 😂)
I bought another sake (frontier) from Takashi no Tsukasa on my way home from my parents' house last month, so I have high expectations for that one too 😁. tomoさんMore to come 🤣.
8th glass - Wolf Flame Junmai
This was an interesting sake 😁.
The manager said on the menu that he was looking forward to more of this sake!
It had a firm juicy sweetness and umami that I like 🥰.
I also felt a little bit of a tangy taste, so it's not for those who like beautiful sake 😅. tomoさんI guess this is the first house back here.
The 7th glass: Kirizukuba Special Junmai
This sake arrived when I was really engrossed in the conversation...
I think it was a dry sake with a nice sharp taste 😅I wasn't impressed much 😂.
This was from a brewery in Urasato 😳 tomoさんWhen I come to RIKI, there are so many things I want to drink that I can't stop 🤣.
Drink #6: Sancho Ni Nozomi
I tend to drink it as a toast, but I had one for a break 🥂.
But it was out of gas and didn't taste like San-do 😅.
Personally, I like this sweet and gassy San-do 😁. tomoさんThe party is not over yet🍶.
5th glass: Nabeshima Harvest Moon Special Junmai
This one also had a refreshing taste.
It has a good umami and is delicious though.
I haven't bought any seasonal Nabeshima this year, I think I'm drinking it all outside😅. tomoさんOff-line meetings are still going on.
4th glass: Packed sake Junmai Daiginjo Koshi-tanrei
I thought it was super light when I saw it on the menu 🤣.
Koshitanrei is the name of the rice.
It tastes light and refreshing even though it's a packaged sake.
I was not wrong about the super-temperate taste 🤣. tomoさんKumamoto off-line meeting continued
The 3rd cup: Jyuseki Shuku Junmai Ginjo Aki-agari
I personally don't like "hiyaoroshi" and "akiagari" so I don't buy them at home (although I sometimes buy them 😅)
I don't feel much sweetness and it tastes clean and dry with a good sharpness.
The fried mehikari is really good and it went well with this 😋. tomoさんContinuing with the post from the recent Kumamoto offline meeting 🍶.
The second glass: Sentori Akatombo
It has the acidity typical of Sentori, but it's not as assertive as I thought it would be, and the bounce is nice and delicious 🥰.
I didn't (couldn't?) buy it this year. Akatombo
I'm glad I got to drink it 😁. ジェイ&ノビィHi tomo 😃
I saw the end of the party, but the people at the Kumamoto Off-line meeting really drink a lot 😅we would definitely sink 😵💫
Senkou Akatombo at Kumamoto Off-line meeting! Thank you 🤗 tomoさんHi Jay & Nobby 😃
I'm always surprised when I look back 😳 because you all keep drinking without changing your color😅.
This time we were drinking slower than usual so we felt better the next day😊. superbebeIf you come all the way to Kumamoto, you have to drink sansho 😁.
I had it opened right in front of me!
Nice sound!
The fizziness was so great that I felt like I was drinking champagne 😝.
The taste is citrusy and a little floral
Soft sweetness
Light and easy to drink, with almost no alcohol.
Would be a good choice for people who don't drink sake or for women 😊. ma-ki-Good evening, superbebe!
Mr. Sangdo, I'm delighted too 😁✨✨.
I haven't had a drink in a while 🤤. superbebeGood evening, ma-ki-san.
San-do is very popular these days.
If you go to a brewery to buy some, you may not be able to get it! superbebeThe one served by Mr. Fujisawa of Riki! 🥹
This is a restaurant I definitely book every time I go to Kumamoto!
The food is delicious and the drinks are great 😚.
Jyushidai is still delicious ✨.
It has a strong flavor!
Fruity, sour and sweet
I haven't had this in a very long time!
I really appreciate it!
Sake with Kibinago sashimi and Unzen ham 🍶!
Winner 😆! ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, superbebe 😃.
Riki is often seen in Kumamoto offline meeting! We too would like to visit once 🥹.
I thought it was tomato 🍅 at a quick glance, but it's Unzen ham 😁 I want to taste the winning flavor! superbebeGood evening, Jay & Nobby!
As a newbie to Kumamoto (this is my second time), this is the place to go if you want to drink sake in Kumamoto!
All you can drink for 3,000 yen!
There are regular sake and rare sake too!
It's really good! superbebeSlightly effervescent and refreshing aroma
Gentle and light on the palate
Impressive citrus sweetness and acidity that is pleasant 😋.
Beautifully light and dry, but with a lingering umami flavor that expands
Should go well with sashimi and sushi 🤤. ma-ki-Good evening, superbebe!
Masayo's Gekka is delicious 😋.
Well balanced and yes, yes! Slightly effervescent! It was my favorite drink 🤗. superbebeHi, ma-ki!
Gagakuyo was really delicious!
Too bad we don't see much of it here!
I wish I could try other labels! superbebeLimited Active Nigori of Shichibonjari
Tamakae produced in Shiga Prefecture
This is the first time I've had sake made with this rice 😚.
I've never heard of Tamaei outside of Tottori, but it's from Shiga!
Fruity sweet and sour aroma.
Shwashy and creamy with a great rice flavor💕.
Not too sweet and dry when the lees are involved
Delicious fresh bitterness from the raw sake at the end 😄. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, superbebe 😃.
This is the active nigori! I really want to try this one 😋 ‼️ dry and not too sweet 😍.
It would be nice to see a picture of Pudding 😊from Nobby superbebeHi Jay & Nobby!
I've been wanting to try this sake for a long time, but I haven't had a chance.
I've always wanted to try this sake, but I haven't had a chance to.
So the moment I found it on the menu, I ordered it without hesitation! superbebeMild fruity aroma
Is it green apple🍏 or banana🍌?
When you put it in your mouth, there is a slight gassy feeling.
It has a good balance of sweetness, flavor and acidity, and is a bit dark and juicy.
A little peculiar taste afterwards, probably due to the minerality: ☺️✨
We were actually planning to go to Wakanami on this Kyushu trip!
It only took me a little over 20 minutes by car to get to the brewery after landing at Saga Airport,
But due to various things happening, we didn't have time to go there in the end.
Too bad 😭😭.
The photo shows the ruins of Usuki Castle in Usuki City, Oita Prefecture, and the nearby Niouza Historic Trail.
It was a really nice place with samurai residences and temples lined up side by side!
It's full of historical atmosphere 🥹. ポンちゃんsuperbebe, nice to see you posting after all these years 😊.
I see you were in Kyushu! I love castles and old towns, so I'd love to visit here too♪
It's too bad you couldn't go to Wakanami just because it's so delicious 😢. superbebeHi Pon 😊
Oita and Miyazaki prefectures in the east of Kyushu are a little inconvenient to access except by plane because there is no Shinkansen line, but there are many attractive places to visit 😚😚. Nito山田錦55 うすにごり 直汲み 純米吟醸生原酒 新酒1号純米吟醸原酒生酒 superbebeI saw "Futo" 🐰🐰's Yamadanishiki 55 light nigori on the menu and remembered having had the Yamadanishiki 65 nigori version before, so I wanted to compare the two 🤓.
The nigori version was really impressive!
I still clearly remember the time I struggled to open the bottle with an ice pick!
If I wasn't careful, the whole contents would blow out 🥹🥹🥹.
This direct-fed smoky nigori seems to be a bit rare
I don't remember seeing it before.
On the back of the bottle, it says "Limited Distribution".
The aroma is modest and a little banana-like.
Fresh and juicy with a slight sweetness and sourness.
The rice flavor gradually emerges.
There is a slight bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste, and it is delicious to finish 😋.
The photo is of kittens sunning themselves at the entrance to the Yamakawa Port Ferry 🛳️ terminal in Kagoshima Prefecture!
Aren't they cute😍. ジェイ&ノビィsuperbebe, it's been a long time 👋 You're back 👍.
I was healed by the photo of your cat 😽 basking in the sun 😌I'm looking forward to seeing you in Japan again 🤗. のぶのぶNice to meet you, Mr. Two Rabbits.
Are you traveling by boat? I am envious! ごぉにぃごぉHello, bebe... ŃŤto "revival bebe"?
No, I think it's ultra bebe from now on.
This cat is sunbathing in the sun, looking like an old man. superbebeHi Jay & Nobby!
I suddenly wanted to take the JLPT around April 😝.
I've been studying Japanese all this time.
I switched my time at Sake no Wa to study time. superbebeHello Nobu Nobu-san
When I went sightseeing in Kagoshima, I went near Ibusuki, the famous skipjack🐟 production area in the south,
Then we took this ferry across to the Osumi Peninsula on the other side of the island, which is famous for yellowtail, superbebeWe ate yellowtail 🐟 and visited Sakurajima🌋 volcano!
Kagoshima was a lot of fun! superbebeHi there, goanyi goanyi!
No, no, no, it's just normal bebe 😝.
I just took the Japanese N3 exam last Sunday,
I guess I'm kind of addicted to the exam, superbebeI already received the N2 reference book I just ordered!
I'm aiming to take the exam in December 🧐. 
tomoさんMr. Menshuoh and his friends in Kumamoto
Mr. Menshuoh was in Kitakyushu for training, so he made a trip to Kumamoto and we had an off-line meeting last Saturday 🎉.
The participants were Mr. Menshuoh, MAJ, Nocchi, kino., Choroki, Rigel, Chidorisashi, and me. 8 people, it seems to be a national convention 😁.
We drank quite a bit at RIKI... but I hardly took any pictures 😅.
And I have no taste impressions left 🤣.
I will only review this one that I drank at the beginning
Jikin Junmai Ginjo Omachi Hiire
It tastes like Jikin.
It is delicious 🥰.
Overall, it is well-balanced and an excellent sake.
Jikin is definitely delicious👍.
But you know, I'd like a little more of the ruggedness of Omachi 🤣.
I guess I can only love perverted sake now 😂. マナチーGood evening, TOMO🌆There is quite a variety of prefectures from north to south where the participants are from! I'm jealous that you're having so much fun 😂‼️ tomoさんHi Manachie 😃
It's really like a national offline meeting 😁I haven't had an offline meeting with people from Tohoku and North Kanto yet, so I'd like to go there next time 🙇♂

San-do 2022 Yamadanishiki Natural Farming
VINTAGE of SANDO!
After 2 years of aging in the brewery, this is a rare bottle that has been aged for an additional year by honda-san 😳.
The manager told me to be careful when opening the bottle...
The lid flew off when the outer plastic clasp was half removed, but I managed to catch it👍.
It was a very healthy lay.
It was a very healthy San-do with a clean sweetness and a strong effervescence, just like a rice champagne 🍾.
Of course, when 8 of us drank it, it was an instant kill 😁.
Thank you very much, honda: 🙇♂ ジャイヴHi tomo!
I'm so glad to see you here!
I wish I could have participated as a representative of Fukui 🤣. ひなはなママHi TOMO 😃

I bet the temperature in Kumamoto went up a notch 😁. tomoさんGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌟!
I am also surprised 😳 that we are going to gather in Kumamoto like this 😁Your energy is amazing! tomoさんAfter the last order, the manager brought these two!
The thirteenth cup: Yukino Kayasha
The fourteenth cup: Hizirizm
But you know, I don't remember what they tasted like after 2 hours of all-you-can-drink 😭
We ordered 1 sake each to share... 14 kinds in 2 hours 😱 each of us drank more than 4 sake!
That's why I don't remember 🤣.
It's 8:30 at this point😳
Of course we went to the after party! tomoさんPetit off-line meeting, 12th drink, opening
Stable dry sake, Kaiun!
I haven't had a chance to drink it recently, but it's been a while since I had it.
I want to drink this with sashimi!
This was supposed to be the last order, but... tomoさんPetit Off-line Meeting 11th Cup - Nanahonsyari Junmai Watafune
I'm not sure what it tasted like, so I'll try to remember.
Not too sweet, but very robust 🤔.
I think he said he wanted it warmed up. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
