tomoさんThen the sixth drink
San-do Kako, bagged (limited to rice-planting participants)
Brought by HONDA
This sake is a super rare sake limited to 8 people among the participants of rice planting at Hananoka Sake Brewery😳.
It has a unique aroma, but it is milder than the Kako we had before and tastes very beautiful 🥰.
A quintessential saké (I may be biased 🤣)
Thank you, honda, for your precious sake: 🙇♂ boukenGood morning, TOMO ☀☀☀☀☀.
I see that honda-san is still participating in rice planting 😁.
Every time I see the land of production, I remember honda-san 😌. tomoさんGood morning, bouken!
honda, you participate almost every time 🌾.
Thanks to you, we always get a rare production 😁. tomoさんGood evening, takeshon 🌟.
My grandpa always brings me good stuff 😁. tomoさんOffline meetings are still in the early stages😅.
In the blink of an eye, I'm on my fifth drink
Monday and Sunday
This one was served by the manager
Looks like a product that has not been released yet
Is this a collaboration product between Nichinichi and Space Brothers?
The manager was explaining something... but I wasn't listening properly😅
It had a light taste like Nichinichi, but it was more robust than the usual ones 😋.
It says it's 11 degrees, but I don't think it's that light, and this is definitely better than the Nichinichi I had at home the other day 🥰. tomoさんKumamoto Off-line meeting
As usual, everyone drinks so fast that the alcohol runs out quickly 🤣.
The fourth drink was...
KUDOKU-YOUI
This sake was polished to 22% and had a strong alcoholic taste.
Jr is sweet but Kudokidote is dry.
I think I prefer Jr 😁. tomoさんOff-line meeting third drink
Packed Sake Sake Mirai
Sake Future's cargo tag, a sake with high expectations
It has a strong sweetness, just like Sake Mirai.
But it is not too sweet.
The sugar sweetness is more like wasanbon than fruit.
The aftertaste is clean with some bitterness, so I guess this is what you call "light" 🤔.
It is easy to drink even in summer, and I liked it a lot 🥰. tomoさんOff-line meeting in Kumamoto to get rid of the heat
The second drink was
Tanaka Rokugo Inomoto Sake Shop 50th Anniversary Special Event - Special Order Sake
Inomoto Sake Shop is a famous sake shop in Kumamoto that specializes in domestic sake and also handles Shinmasa!
Sake description
Based on low-alcohol 6513, brewed with a yeast from a live yeast strain, and second fermentation in the bottle.
It is light but has a strong flavor. It is light, but has a strong flavor.
It is so light that you can easily drink it, but at this rate, your memory of the last part of the bottle will become doubtful again... 
tomoさんThe rainy season is over and the heat is off.
We had a hot weather party with usual Kumamoto Sake-no-wa members (many of them are currently inactive) and new friends (my colleagues? junior colleagues?). My junior colleagues? A student?) plus one newcomer (my colleague? junior colleague? student?).
The first sake was...
Imi🤩 Special Junmai Unrefined Nama Sake
We finally met 🤩.
The manager said he knew this group would be here so he put it on the menu👍.
Only one glass (60ml per person), but you can have it as much as you want 😋.
The taste is... Delicious, delicious is all I can say 🥰.
The sweetness is firm but has a sharpness to it, so it's not too sweet and you won't get tired of drinking it!
This will be very popular 😍.
About the new members
The youngest male member in Kumamoto.
He is a colleague of mine from my office where we always go out for drinks, and a high school junior of the manager of RIKI.
He is already acquainted with the manager.
The manager didn't expect him to join this group of drinkers 😁.
The new member, honda called me "take-chan", so I will call him "take-chan" from now on 😄. ジェイ&ノビィHello TOMO 😃
Congratulations on the addition of new member take-chan to the Kumamoto Off-line meeting! Congratulations 🎉and there toast 🍶 is Imi 😍I like it, I knew it would be good 😚. tomoさんHi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀!
We had our first ebi with high expectations, and it was delicious 🥰.
We are going to train our new member, take-chan, very hard from now on 💪. 
tomoさんLast at RIKI
Finish with an unusual drink
Hanaboe Honjozo Long Aged Old Sake
It looks like this sake was brewed in 1988.
I was 12 years old when I was in junior high school.
The color gives it a matured feel 😁.
But the taste is very round 😳
All the corners have been removed and it's rounded off, but the backbone of the sake is firm and the umami is rich!
If you like darker sake, you'll love it 😊.
I liked the taste 🥰.
Thanks to the manager for always serving us precious sake 🙏. まつちよGood evening TOMO 🍶.
What a great color 😆.
It's great that the flavor is still there even after 36 years.
As a pervert sake lover, I'd like to try it once 😋.
By the way, we are the same age 😊. tomoさんGood evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 🌟.
If you just look at the color, it's wine 🍷😁.
It's the fun of drinking outside to be able to drink this kind of thing.
Sake no Wa, after all, there are many people of the same age 😊. のちをTOMO-san I've been lounging around at home with this drink. I think I saw it at some event and bought it on impulse. I am looking forward to when I will open it. tomoさんGood evening, Nochi-san 😀
I'm so glad you bought this one 😳I'm so proud of you👍.
This one looks like it won't get soggy even if you open it, so enjoy it little by little for a long time 😁. tomoさんHere's what came out with the falconer
lance spear
This one was recommended to me at a liquor store and I really enjoyed it!
The manager's selection is so striking that it makes me laugh 🤣.
I had this one heated too!
Very easy to drink heated sake😍!
The mild sweetness and umami spreads on the palate and fades away leaving a lingering aftertaste.
It was a perfect match with the smoked oysters 👍. tomoさんLong hawk left at room temperature on the counter.
Heated to recommend a perverted sake to a young girl (in her third year of working) who went with me.
This Takacho has been aged for 3 years (maybe?). I heard it's aged for 3 years (maybe?).
It has a yellowish color and has a full of matured sake feeling.
The effect of aging and heating up the sake? It has a gentle sweetness and a caramelized taste, but overall it tastes mellow 😊.
I still like this one 🥰. tomoさんThe second drink at RIKI
Kenkunichi
This sake was brewed by a sake shop in Kumamoto for their 50th anniversary hanpukai!
The manager served it to us, saying it was not like Kenkunichi, but it was delicious.
Kenkunichi is a deliciously spicy and sharp sake, but this one... has a fruity sweetness that one would not think it was Kenkunichi if served without knowing it🥰.
The umami in the middle and the sharpness at the end are typical of Kenkunichi.
This one was also delicious: ☺️ tomoさんWelcome party for young children (students)
I had them drink 2 kinds of sake at the first one too (Hirotogawa and ???). but I didn't take pictures so I don't know the specs or anything😅.
The next day, they told me that the sake they drank yesterday was delicious (maybe they were flattered), so I guess the first step of missionary work was a success 😁.
Personally, I wanted to drink some more, so I went to my usual place, RIKI.
The manager left everything to me.
The first glass was a glass of Hirotogawa's Omachi.
As expected, he knows I am an omatist, so he serves a good one 🥰.
It's fresh, vibrant and delicious!
But it's also delicious with the acidity and bitterness typical of Omachi😍.
I don't remember the details of the taste since this was my second visit 🤣. Yamasan純米大吟醸 山恵錦 四割五分 春のかすみ酒 うすにごり生酒純米大吟醸生酒おりがらみ発泡 しんしんSYAt last, one hour!
I had to head to the party at 6pm.
The couple next door had ordered this last, so I asked the manager to bring it out from the cold storage again!
This is my fifth visit to Yamazan!
This is the first time for me to see this light orange label!
It's a light nigori in spring!
A light nigori at the end of the day!
It's like a light misty sky because we play golf the next day!
I hope it will not rain.
I enjoyed Mt. Aso and Kurokawa Onsen and enjoyed Kumamoto in a hurry!
RIKI-san, I will visit you again when I come to Kumamoto!

Fresh, fruity and satisfying!
We refrained from cooking at this restaurant, so the next restaurant served grilled horse meat and yukke!
Unfortunately, this restaurant did not have any sake, so I paired it with beer!
I am sure it would go well with sake as well.
I would like to meet the crops again as I will be in Mie Prefecture during Golden Week 🍶.

Shinshu Kamerei
I've had Hitogochi several times, but I wonder how the color of the hexagon on the label differs from blue to silver like this one.
The silver one seems to be a new sake.
This sake is one of my favorite brands.
It's not easy to find, but this time I was lucky!
On this day, I had a party with my friends at 6pm at a restaurant called Rum!
So we had only one hour left to drink!
I told the manager that I would pick up the pace and he was preparing for the next one.
Sorry about that.

Before I asked the manager for the next one, he brought me this.
What? Are you sure? All you can drink.
He told me it tastes a little like dried grapes!
This is the third time I've had this since Morioka and Akita!
Sourness of sake yeast and sweet and sour taste like dried grapes!
The high spec sake made me feel good!

The manager said that the flavor would develop more after some time had passed since it was stored! It is delicious enough as it is! Yanma特別純米 仕込み16号 なごり雪 無濾過生原酒特別純米原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ しんしんSYI had made a reservation for this date when I visited a month ago.
So I delivered a little souvenir from Hokkaido to the manager, and in return, he offered me a chance to try the conger eel that he had prepared for me!
Thank you very much 😊.
The sake that was served at that time was Yamama!
I have often encountered this brand at Fukurokuju, but this No. 16 was a first for me!
And the sake rice is Nagori Yuki, a Uruchi rice from Niigata!
The malted rice seems to be Gohyakumangoku!
Delicious fresh sake like ramune!
Goes well with the sweetness of conger eel.

Moreover, the manager himself requested the specifications of this Shichihon Yari to be made!
No bitterness in spite of 80% low milling!
Thank you for introducing us to this delicious sake 😊.
I saw freshly picked bamboo shoots when I drove around Aso during the day, but gave up on buying them, so I asked for a bamboo shoot dish at this restaurant!

Hohomasu of Nichinichi
Brewed with Kumamoto's rare sake rice, Homasu, just like Sanchi no Homasu!
I have yet to find it on the internet!
Thank you for allowing me to try this rare sake!
The taste spread on the palate, and since it is low in alcohol, I drank it all in one gulp!
I really want to have another one but I'll hold off and move on to the next one ️.

tomoさんKumamoto Off-line Meeting Report⑱.
This is the last drink.
I don't remember how this came up in the conversation, but it was the last sake the manager brought.
Shinsei Tenfrog😳
We had a whole bottle (not one, five of us) 🤩.
The shots were amazing. Mr. Chidorisaki took a video of it (he was drunk, so his hands were shaky) and it was overflowing with bubbles.
It's low al but has a lot of flavor, but this gassy feeling (champagne? Rumney?) So it's refreshing and very easy to drink.
We had a lot of good drinks this time, too.
We talked mostly about sake, and before I knew it, 4 hours had passed since the party started at 7:00 🤣.
It was a very enjoyable party and I hope to see you again next time. 🙇♂
I promised not to bring my own sake next time, but to enjoy the drinks at the restaurant. I promised not to bring my own drinks next time, but I don't know what will happen with the vendors 🤣.
Well, my business trip to Tokyo, which I thought was long overdue, is finally this week.
I've been busy preparing for the trip, so it's been a bit of a whirlwind, but I'm looking forward to drinking up some good sake in Tokyo too 😁. ポンちゃんGood evening, TOMO🦉.
I'm so glad to see you all are as strong as ever! I was wondering how much you drink 😳 when the comparison of drinks came out at the end 🤣.
I'm glad to see that everyone is in good health 😊. MantaTOMO
Good morning ^_^
I drank it myself a while ago. It's very gassy, low alcohol, easy to drink, and goes away in no time 😁. tomoさんHello Pon, ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
This time we all shared one cup, so it shouldn't be that much 😅.
The members of Sake-no-wa in Kumamoto are closed except for me, but everyone is doing well 💪. tomoさんHi Manta 😃
This was very gassy. I don't know if I'm happy or wasteful to have such a drink at the end of a drunken night 🤣. superbebeGood evening, TOMO.
Wow 💕RIKI💕
Chidori was there too 🤗how are you 🤔
It's been a while 🥹🍶.
I finally had a chance to visit RIKI during my trip to Kumamoto in January superbebeLots of good drinks 😁.
Had a great time! tomoさんGood evening, superbebe😊.
