Timeline
tomoさんHere is the last sake, Bodai Sen
Sake made with Bodai yeast from Bodaiyama Shorekiji Temple in Nara.
This sake is made by Kuramoto Sake Brewery!
It has the sweetness and acidity typical of Bodai Hashiroshi, with a faintly distinctive aroma 😊.
This one is delicious too 🥰.
I haven't had Kuramoto sake yet, so I'll have to look for it!
This concludes my son's graduation & job hunting celebration!
I hope he could feel the depth of sake 😁. ジェイ&ノビィHey, tomo 😃.
You introduced me to a pretty profound world 😆 and a fun time with your son! How did you feel about the sake world 😁. ポンちゃんCongratulations to TOMO on your son's graduation & job 🎉.
I thought your son power👍 when he came out No.6... but the second half was a unique drinking time🤣I hope he inherited that DNA😁. tomoさんJay & Nobby, thanks again 😊This is a very broad lineup and my son was amazed at the depth of sake 😁I let him drink a variety of sake at home, but he is biased 🤣. tomoさんThank you, Ponchan 🙇♂
I was lucky to find No.6 🥰If you go to RIKI, it would be a shame if you don't experience the deep world 😁. tomoさんThis is an old wine aged in barrels.
Aroma of oak, caramel and slight bitterness 🥰.
I guess this is similar to brandy or Shaoxing wine 🧐.
Seems to go well with tzatos and the manager said it tastes great on the rocks with ice made from coffee 🤔.
I would love to drink it 😆. tomoさんFinally, I asked the manager to serve me an unusual one (a habit-forming one) 😁.
First of all, Tenka Nishiki
This is a Junmai Daiginjo that had been made in a bag and left unrefined for 180 days. The unrefined sake was left to mature for 180 days 😳.
Tenge Nishiki is supposed to be a dry sake, but it had a sweetness like mirin (sweet sake) 😋, but the second half was dry and the balance was kind of bad? It was a strange sake 😁. tomoさんI introduced him to the manager as my son and told him I brought him to celebrate his graduation...what a No. 6 service he gave me 😳🥂🥂.
It was gorgeous and had a nice balance of sweetness, umami, and sourness, and according to my son, it wasn't like sake in a good way 😳.
He really liked it 😁.
Thank you for all your help, manager 🙇♂ 
tomoさんOn this day, we celebrated my eldest son's graduation and job hunting with a drink at RIKI 🍻.
After 🍺, we went to Shinshu Kamerei.
Full of sweetness and umami 😍.
It's still delicious 🥰!
My son was also pleased with the taste 😁.
My son wanted to try the assorted horse sashimi 😋!
We don't get many chances to eat it when we're away from Kumamoto, so we splurged 💪. ma-ki-Hello, TOMO!
Congratulations on your eldest son's graduation and new job 🎉!
It's nice to have a drink together on your big day: ⤴️
It's a scene that I admire ✨
I'm sure it must have been a very emotional time looking back on the past 😋. ワカ太Hi tomo😃Congratulations on your eldest son's graduation and job㊗️🎊I really long to have a drink with my kids 😍and starting with Shinshu Kamerei, a series of wonderful sake 💕Happy family and good sake, your son is happy 👍 ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, TOMO 😃!
I like the idea of having a sakidrinka to celebrate the start of the new year 🥹🤗The first one is Shinshu Kamerei! It's a drink that can capture the heart of sake 😋 Kumamoto horse sashimi! I want to try it! tomoさんThank you, ma-ki-, 🙇♂
It's a strange feeling of relief and sadness at the end of child-rearing 😄. tomoさんThank you, Wakata. 🙇♂
It seems like it didn't take long before the day came when I could drink with my kids 😊I recommended a lot of sake, but I still don't know if they are into it (swamped) or not 😁. tomoさんJay & Nobby, good evening 🌟I am happy to have a sasshoku with my son, which I wanted to do someday 😁The horse sashimi from Kumamoto is delicious 😋We are waiting for you anytime 😊. superbebeBefore drinking, the lady lightly stirred the bottle up and down before pouring it into the cup!
Light and easy to drink!
The chili carbonation is a nice touch 😄.
The juiciness of the fresh green apple is quite impressive!
Low sweetness and refreshing sourness
A little bitterness shows up later.
Well-balanced, clean, and super likeable!
It tastes as good as Hirotogawa's nigori!
If I see this at a liquor store, I will definitely buy it.
I came to Kumamoto 🐻 this time and saw Ajisen Ramen on the way to Minamiaso!
Ajisen Ramen used to have branches in Taiwan, but all of them are closed now!
It's a shame 😢 because it was the first ever Japanese ramen chain in Taiwan!
I was very young at the time 👶, maybe more than 30 years ago.
I loved it so much!
Delicious 😋.
I hope they open another branch in Taiwan! ジェイ&ノビィsuperbebe, hi 😃!
I'm so glad to hear that! I just read about it and it makes me want to drink it again 😙.
Ajisen Ramen🍜 was the first Japanese ramen chain in Taiwan! I'm learning a lot 🤗. superbebeGood evening, Jay & Nobby!
This is the first time I've ever had a bottle of Hatsen Nouveau Origami.
I've never seen it before.
I think it's pretty rare? I hope I can buy some and drink it at home 😆. superbebeMimuro cedar's shwashy new sake
Melon🍈 fruity
Juicy and slightly carbonated
You will feel refreshed the moment you drink it!
Sweet but light and just right
Silky rice🌾 sweet and delicious tastes just like Calpis soda🥤.
Very tasty!
Super easy to drink and easy to drink.
The photo is Sakurajima seen from the garden of Senganen Garden.
You can see the volcanic fumes more clearly from Tarumi City on the other side.
It was quite powerful and amazing 🌋. superbebeSlightly gassy
Freshness of new sake, yet lush.
Juicy, sweet and tasty, but with volume.
A little bitterness in the aftertaste.
It was tasty, but it was all-you-can-drink, so it didn't leave much of an impression 😝.
These photos were taken during our trip in mid-December
The vermilion-lacquered shrine pavilions of Kirishima Jingu Shrine ⛩️ and the bright red autumn leaves🍁 blend together to create a fantastic scene
Near Jingu Shrine, intersection of National Road 223 and Prefectural Road 480
Kirishima Tree Belt Tunnel
The road to the descent of the sun 🚗.
The tunnel was very beautiful at the height of the fall foliage.
There is a yakiniku restaurant in Kokubu City at the foot of Jingu Mountain.
This one is also in true red!
The level of meat is very high 🥩!
Unbelievable quality!
All-you-can-eat marbled Miyazaki and Kagoshima beef for 6000 yen per person (I heard it was 4000 yen before Corona).
All you can drink alcohol🍺 for an additional 1000 yen!
Kagoshima is the best! ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, superbebe😃!
I was looking at the pictures of beautiful autumn leaves🍁🥹 and even more beautiful meat 🤩this makes me want to go to Kagoshima 🤗. superbebeGood evening, Jay & Nobby!
There are so many places to enjoy in Southern Kyushu.
And it's less crowded, so almost no stress.
I'd like to go back again: ☺️ superbebeIt's been a while since I've had an S-type, but it has a sweetness like grapes and a beautiful acidity.
It was clear and fresh.
It is easy to drink with a light feeling, and you can hardly feel the sake spirit even though it is a sake.
This store
I came here once at the beginning of last year and was surprised that the manager remembered me 😱.
We had a lot of fun talking 💖💖✨
He even gave me a gift of a Shinsei eco bag 🥹.
I'm so happy ☺️ ☺️ ジェイ&ノビィHi superbebe😃
No.6 has a strong presence after all 🤩.
But the fact that the store owner remembers it means that superbebe's presence was shining too 🤗. superbebeHi Jay & Nobby!
No, no, no... 😯
It's all thanks to Pom Pom Pudding strong aura!
You guys are paying attention 🤣. superbebeNew policy for a long time.
Clear and transparent mouthfeel
Delicate and thin
The berry sweet and sour taste is pleasant!
Maybe it's because it's after the "orikara-mi" (a kind of rice cake)
The picture is of Kumamoto Castle.
It's late autumn in December 🍁, so gingko leaves are fluttering down.
The gingko trees near the Kumamoto Prefectural Office are just at their best, and the whole area is golden and very beautiful! 
superbebeSake and Meshi RIKI" 🍶 in Kumamoto
Sake and rice at RIKI 🍶.
Milt as a side dish is a good start, isn't it? 😆😆
The first drink was
Jikin Origigarami 🤩.
It was my first time so I was happy to be able to drink it ✨.
Freshly squeezed new sake
Freshness is outstanding!
It has a nice gassy feel to it!
Melon-like fruity taste, soft sweetness, and a strong flavor of the tailings.
Delicious! It's a very good wine 😊. ポンちゃんsuper bebe, good evening 🦉.
When I opened the sake straw, I saw the albacore along with the jicama 👀!
And there are a lot of them 😻 ma-ki-Hi superbebe, good evening.
Jikin and Milt - I like both so much I drool 🤤.
I see you are enjoying your drinking time 😊. superbebeGood evening, Pon.
This is a very conscientious restaurant.
A restaurant full of love for sake where the drinks and snacks are delicious and comfortable!
I wish there was a restaurant like this in my neighborhood. ☺️ superbebeGood evening, ma-ki!
I was surprised to see albacore as a side dish 😳.
The food was delicious and the all-you-can-drink sake lineup was great!
I drank a little too much~😵💫 tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting (15)
Honda-san asked the manager for something to drink, and he brought this 🤣.
Nabeshima Junmai Daiginjo Kitsushizuku
I definitely prefer this to the Aizan Daiginjo we had earlier 🥰.
The sweetness and umami were more pronounced than the Aizan from earlier 😍.
I forgot the details of the taste though 🤣.
That was the end of the first meeting at RIKI!
We were kicked out of the restaurant at an early hour, so we all went to the after-party that day! T.KISOGood evening, TOMO😄!
All the sake was so good 😆💕!
You drank a lot of gold medal winning sake 🥇😋.
I think my tongue is going to go crazy lol tomoさんGood evening, T.KISO 🌟!
The parade of fine drinks made my tongue go crazy 🤣.
I'm feeling that my taste buds are not suited for fine drinks 🤣.... tomoさんKumamoto Offline Meeting ⑭
Then Sharaku's Akaban Oumachi
It has more sweetness than Bizen Oumachi, which I prefer 🥰.
But I wonder why it feels more refreshing than usual 🤔.
Maybe I drank too much sake and my tongue went crazy 🤣. tomoさんKumamoto Offline Meeting ⑬
Last order time 😳
I didn't drink from the regular menu 🤣.
So we ordered the Sharaku Omachi drink comparison for the last time!
We started with Bizen Oumachi.
Dry? I feel a strong bitterness.
I don't remember Sharaku's Yumachi being this dry 🤔.
I also feel sweetness, but it was not rich. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting ⑫
The last of the event menu (Hananoka and Tasake were through 🤣)
Nabeshima Aizan Daiginjo
Bitterness but... elegant flavor and sweetness.
But a bit alcoholic 🤔.
This is also delicious, but I drank too much good sake today, so it might be hard to grade it 🤣. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting (11)
We were supposed to have a bottle of Senkyou, but they ran out at the last minute, so they brought this one!
Junmai Daiginjo
Nice looking sake with a clean dry taste!
The initial bitterness was quite strong and I didn't really like it 😅.
This is a matter of taste, so I can't help it😅
I guess Tobiroki is an excellent sake as a food sake... but I'm not really into it 🤔. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting 10
Comparison of Jikin
Next is Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki
The flavor is typical of Jikin, this one is good too 🥰.
I think Tojo's aroma was more gorgeous 🤔.
To be frank, my stupid tongue can't tell the difference in terroir 🤣.
As a result, both are delicious 😁. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting (9)
Here comes the appearance of Jikin👍!
On the menu
Jikin Tojo Yamadanishiki was on the menu, but there were only a few bottles left, so they opened a bottle of Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki, also from Jikin 😁.
We started with Tojo Yamadanishiki!
The aroma is gorgeous and the balance of umami and bitterness is typical of Jikin 🥰.
Jikin is still good 😍. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting 8
More to come!
Sawaya-Matsumoto Moribashi-Aizan VINTAGE2015
I had high expectations for this wine, but...
I was expecting a bitterness and pungency because of the aging process, and I didn't feel the beautiful sweetness of Aizan 😢.
I didn't really like this one 😅.
I thought maybe it was because I have a sweet tooth... but all the off-line meeting members had the same impression 🤣. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting (7)
I'm going to lose my senses with all the good drinks...
It's a good one to continue!
Isshaku-Suisei Gold Award-winning Sake
Elegant umami 🥰.
The sharpness is excellent and goes well with meals👍
Polishing is great, so this one tastes beautiful too 👍
At cost, 60mL 700 yen 😳.
I'm happy to drink sake that I can't buy myself 🥰. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
