For our second bottle of balcony drinking, we opened a new bottle of one of our favorite sakes, Yokoyama 🍶😃.
The name 1814 comes from the fact that it was brewed by crossing yeast #18 with yeast #14👍.
As expected of Yokoyama, it does not disappoint👍!
Fresh and full of umami 😋.
It is not so much sweet and umami as it is fresh and dry with a slightly tangy taste 👍

101 check in ✅Personal recommendation for a brewery 😆Denemon: ❤️
After 2 years? I finally came across it ✨.
If the name of the sake rang a bell, you're right 👍It's an amazing sake that has taken the name of a famous book.
Denemon is a sake brewery brewed by just one person. The name comes from Michel Carouge's famous book "The Bachelor's Machine," which is cited as the bible of the master brewer. It is also related to Marcel Duchamp's "The Bride Naked by Her Bachelors, Even (a.k.a. The Big Glass)".
When I think about the sake rice "Aizan," I can see the image of this sake being brewed with love while loneliness, loss of humanity, and the desire for barren love cross the mind 🧐.
Today we are going to start with our special bird ❤️ no doubt👍and our favorite gateau rusk🥰Carouge & Duchamp, so it's like a French 🇫🇷... ❤️
By the way, this "bachelor" is not sweet at all 🤘 it is rather tangy and spicy, and has a sharp taste, leaving a bitterness that is typical of Aizan. But it is not too alcoholic, and is indeed easy to drink 🧐.
When paired with the rusk with pomegranate on top, the sweet and savory flavors are gradually felt. The flavor really changes depending on the food.
Good morning, Pheho 😃.
Wow! It's a Harada rusk 🤩I love Harada rusks and I love chocolate too💕.
I think Harada rusks are the best in the world 😆.
Are you a simple rusk person, Pekho?
Hina Hana Mama 🩷Harada Rusk, I'm glad you can relate 🥰‼️🥰They are the best in the world 🏆.
I love the white chocolate one❣️I happened to get a simple rusk this time💝Simple version is unstoppable and dangerous⚠️🤣
Hi Pekho 😃
I had a store drink in Niigata before with a bachelor machine ❣️ and it was so good that I asked for a store that sold it and bought it back 😆.
It looks delicious & fun to change the taste when combined with rusks 😋.
Hi Pekho 🐦🐦.
After gateau chocolates, Harada's rusks‼️ are expanding their collaboration with sweets 😻It doesn't have to be sweet to go well with them 😳I want to try it 😳.
Winter makes me want to eat white chocolate🎶.
Hiro-san❣️Good evening‼️Niigata, there are some places in the brewery's hometown where you can drink it at the store 😍There are about 2 more types of sake available this year! I hope I can meet you 🩷I feel like the atmosphere is not too Japanese food, which expands the range of pairings 🥰.
Seimasamune is a favorite of ours because of its "glutinous rice hot brewed in four stages.
In June, Pekho-san discovered a test brew with a delicious name 💡 and it was so delicious that we brought him back with the intention of repeating the same experience this time.
According to the description,
The description reads, "P33-37 yeast developed in Nagano Prefecture is used. This yeast has been improved to produce more than twice as much banana aroma as conventional yeast and is characterized by mild acidity" 🧐.
Yum ❣️😋
Right up our alley👍.
The banana aroma is a little too strong, but you can enjoy both the aroma and the rice flavor, and the slight acidity in the aftertaste counteracts the sweetness 😋.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I'm so glad to hear that you and your husband are enjoying the same sake! It's hard to find a sake that is right in the middle for a couple, but Sei Masamune is amazing ❣️ I want to taste how delicious it is 🥰.
Good evening, shinsaku3. I didn't realize it was a four-stage glutinous rice preparation, and that it is also heat. It is wonderful. It is sweet and delicious. I have had Karp-san a few times. I want to drink it.
Good morning, Hinahana mama 😃.
Different brands taste different but I love them😍.
Full marks 💯 for the 2 test brews this time, OMATSURI, GOLD and SUMMER 🤔.
If you see them, please bring them to us 😃.
Good morning, WOM 😃.
It's delicious 😋.
I love sweet and tasty sake 🍶, so Seimasamune is one of my favorite sake 😃.
This test brew was quite easy to drink with only 13 degrees alcohol 😃👍.
Good morning, shinsaku3😃.
Every time I see your review, my desire to drink Sei Masamune increases 🥹I haven't met him yet 🥲I hope to meet him by the end of this year somehow ‼️
Today, Pekho and I had one of our favorite sakes, Yokoyama-san 🍶, for the first time in a long time 😃.
According to the description.
"In order to maximize the characteristics of Aizan, we have tried to balance sweetness, umami, sourness, and bitterness to create a fresh & juicy taste with a bite of fruit." 🧐.
Delicious as ever ❣️😋
Exactly Fresh&Juicy👍
The usual sweet and tasty 😋.
However, I wonder if it's a characteristic of Aizan, but the bitter aftertaste is a bit pronounced.

Good evening, shinsaku3😄!
Since I know you two love Yokoyama, I've become quite interested in this one too: ❣️
Fresh and juicy 🤤.
I will have to plan an expedition to purchase this one! 🚅
Good evening, shinsaku3!
Yokoyama-san's Aiyama-san is delicious 😋.
I remember the first Yokoyama-san here, it is a very tasty sake that gets better the more you drink it 🤗.
It certainly has a strong bitter taste 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
Was this your first visit to Yokoyama 😃?
It's definitely a good one 😋.
The bitterness in the aftertaste is a little bitter, but it also gives a nice tightness to the taste, and overall I like it👍.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I checked and Yokoyama in Kanji was a different brand brewed by Yokoyama, who borrowed the brewery of Sumikawa Sake Brewery in Yamaguchi prefecture for 4 or 5 years before the brewery was revived in Iki 🤔.
But both are delicious 😋.
Today, in this hot weather, I've been doing my hobby of visiting liquor stores... 😂.
I finally got there, sweating and visiting liquor stores I hadn't visited before, and when I glanced at the trial section, I couldn't help but shout out 🥳.
There's a hana-yoku, isn't there?
I never dreamed that I would be able to sample it after walking around in this hot weather, and I said, "Oh, wow! I squealed 🥹.
Now it's time to taste it 🍶!
The mellow aroma like a ripe pineapple is irresistible!
Take a sip, it's juicy! It's sweet and juicy!
I'm sorry I can't describe it better because the heat is getting to me and my vocabulary and my thinking ability are low 😭.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be sweet and juicy pineapple juice!
And while I'm at it(?), I strolled around the store and I was surprised to see a pineapple juice! I was surprised to see all kinds of Kangiku Discovery series in the store!
I wanted to try them all, but I had some sake coming later in the day, so I had to buy two kinds 🥲.
I bought So-no-Mai, which Kangiku-san said was her favorite this year, and Gohyakumangoku, which is my favorite color!
I will review this one later 🥳.
Good evening, Afio!
You must really love sake if you enjoy visiting liquor stores 😁✨.
I'm so glad you were able to sample some of Hahoyo's sake 😋.
I see that Kangiku's Discovery is now available 🎵.
Looking forward to your review!
Good evening, ma-ki-san 😌.
I can't stop going around because I keep finding new and unexpected drinks 🥳.
It was really unexpected! It's a good moment to be on the road 😊.
I can't wait to review the long awaited Discovery: ☺️✨
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Yes ✨I love discovering new things like, "I didn't know this drink was here! It's fun to discover things like ☺️ cooler boxes are fierce 😱 LOL, cars..., I walk for exercise, but I envy you 😊.
Here's a post about a sake I had a while ago!
I was so busy drinking our family's favorite sake, Seimasamune, that I failed to upload it 💦.
Delicious 😍It has the same glutinous rice flavor as last year 🥰The test brew of Seimasamune that we drank before the festival carp was more sweet. This one also has a nice balance of sourness and bitterness❤️ raw power can also be felt.
I gave it to a friend of mine who loves to drink, and she was very happy to hear that she drank it with her daughter at night, and that she had never tasted a sake with such a flavor before 🩷.
Sake that connects people😍It's nice ‼️
Hi Pekho 😃I've been waiting for you for a long time 🥹Husband's drinking binge...Pekho didn't post and I missed you 😭.
I hope things get back to normal soon 🥺.
Sei Masamune, which I'm a big fan of, looks delicious😍I wonder if I can find it somewhere: ☺️
Ponchan❤️ is delicious 😋 and the test brew was delicious too ✨!
I can't get enough of the joy of giving a gift that I've enjoyed drinking and passing that deliciousness on to others 🥰❣️
HinaHanaMama-san❤️ here, I've really been having a lot of drinking parties 💦 Every time we have a drinking party, my husband talks about sake, so the circle expands and we have more drinking parties. Finally I joined in 🤣I have a feeling it's going to continue 😱.
Our family's guess Sei Masamune🩷.
Test brewed this year with a new yeast from Nagano Prefecture! We have no choice but to try it!
The lady at the store said it was low in alcohol and sweet. And she was right: ❤️ delicious 🙌!
It's not too sweet, but has a spiciness and bitterness behind the sweetness that makes it a good mid-meal drink as well!
Today, I was in a rush and had my usual menu: kalbi yakiniku, potato salad, and soy milk dashi tofu. And "makigai kimchi" 😍given to me by a sake lover 😍the harmony of the sweet and spicy flavor of kimchi and the sweet and spicy flavor of yakiniku sauce is exquisite 🥹I found that kimchi and sweet and savory sake go well together 👍.
Impressions of the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Hi Pekho 😃
Your guess, Sei Masamune, looks sweet and delicious 😍Makigai Kimchi! I'm curious about that too 🤩Yakiniku and kimchi go well together, and the sweet sake goes perfectly with it 👌It's hot and good for building stamina 🤗.
HinaHanaMama❤️I'm sure your mom will love this sweetness and deliciousness‼️It's too bad it's not easily available outside of my hometown💦The fruity flavor lasts even on the second day🥰.
Thanks for your hard work, Dad! No injuries is the best 💖Fight on 😊💪.
Hello Jay & Nobby 😃It's hot 😃‼️ I want to bathe in summer sake!
I'm a Masamune who wants to drink this weekend after a series of unintended rest days lately 🙏.
I'll be your guess Masamune's mojimoji Masamune 🤣I'll be your otsukai Masamune 🩷👍.
Overall 10 (out of 10)
Seimasamune😋 featuring my favorite "glutinous rice hot brewed in four stages".
Pekho-san found a brand with a delicious name called "test brew" 💡 and brought it home👍.
According to the description,
According to the description, "It is characterized by a gorgeous aroma and juicy sweetness, and was brewed on a trial basis in order to explore new flavors of Seimasamune.
Delicious ❣️😋
Clear, clear, sweet impression that doesn't linger👍.
I think the slight austerity that rises slightly in the aftertaste helps to tighten it up 😋.
I'm going to buy another bottle tomorrow ♫🚗.

Hi shinsaku3😃
I guess Sei Masamune, 10 points ❗️ was quite delicious 🥰I would love to drink it so good that I would buy another bottle 😘I'm sure it's sweet and juicy 👍.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
All the brands of Seimasa Soyabe are delicious, but I recommend Festival Carp and Gold Carp as well as this one 😊I think you will like it, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Good morning, shinsaku3 😃!
Sei Masamune! You always drink so well 😍Masamune I want to meet the most 😍Nice Masamune 👍towel I got last time 😁I hope I can meet you soon!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😃.
I know it might be a little too sweet for you, Jay & Nobby, but here is the sweet and tasty recommended Masamune ❣️ 😃.
It would be fun to make various goods from the Fat Masamune series 😅.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
Exploring a new taste of Seimasomune........ I was nervous that they would change the direction of the taste. I was nervous, but I was relieved to see that the sweet and tasty lineage remained the same!
I recommend it 😋.
I was curious about this sake: ❣️ I went to buy it today because the liquor store I usually go to has started carrying it and I saw a comment about how good it tastes at Sake-no-wa: ‼️ and opened the bottle immediately 🎉.
Today, when it feels like a summer day, we had a lunchtime drink on the balcony with Okuroku, a summer sake 👍.
It is refreshing, fruity, light and delicious 🥰, perfect for this situation.
Today, it can be served with french fries, salad, yakiniku, and yakisoba as it is 😊.
I think it would also go well with more western style meals!
I would like to try the other drinks as well 🥰 as I heard it is the sweetest fruity of all the Okuroku's.
Impressions on the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Hi Pepho 😃Another nice balcony daytime drink today 🥰Deutsch, I wish I knew about it from Sake no Wawa and would like to drink it too ❣️ but I don't think there are any dealers in my neighborhood 😓Low alcohol and refreshing fruity is perfect for a daytime drink 💕.
HinaHanaMama❣️ continued to drink at night 🤭Hokke and Tororo over rice👍.
I hope the liquor store in my neighborhood will carry it 🙏 My favorite store may carry Kangiku but not Mama's recommendation 😢 difficult 🧐.
Hi Pekho 😃
It's great to see a new liquor store handling this new product ‼️ and the summer sake balcony lunchtime drink is great 😙 Please try the Okuroku Lotus we drank 👋.
Jay & Nobby 💕Hello, Lotus, I'm pretty sure I saw it in the fridge at the store 👏I'll go buy it next time 😃You said the sweetest one is this summer liquor, so it's another flavor 👍I look forward to Jay's recommendation: ❤️
Overall 9 (out of 10)
Pheho-san wanted to try this sake 🍶.
I went to buy it because the liquor store I often go to sells it 🚗.
This is my first time to try this sake!
According to the description
According to the description, it is "refreshing and evocative of calm waves and white sandy beaches.

Hi shinsaku3 😃Good afternoon drink on the balcony today 👌Okuoroku, I envy you because it was a drink I was interested in too 😍It looks sweet and delicious 😍I think it's my favorite ❣️ 😆 You are enjoying GW very much 🤗.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Thank you 😊
GW mostly stay at home 🏠.
It was a good GW 🏠☺️
I think you will like it, HinaHanaMama 😃.
It's a little sweet but delicious 😋.
Hello shinsaku3😃!
Oh! We haven't seen it here in Tochigi 🤗I'm jealous that the liquor store you frequent has it 🥲Kochira is a dessert wine type of wine, isn't it? I'll keep that in mind😄.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's very easy to drink, but you might find it a bit sweet 😅.
We chose the brand we got this time based on the recommendation of the liquor store, but next time we will try other brands 😃.
Today is a special day so we are having a balcony party 🎉.
I'm emptying a slightly expensive bottle 🥰 and another one in addition: ❤️
The expensive bottle, the Noguchi Institute, is a little bit cloudy. And when I looked again at the endorsement, I was surprised‼️19 degrees, and it's also alky ‼️, and it's the first time for an unfiltered, unadulterated, unadulterated sake to be alky🫨 at the same time🧐.
And it's very tasty 💖It's so gentle that it's hard to believe it's 19 degrees. But not sweet! Bitterness, and an herbal astringency in the back. It's not spicy, and there is no alcohol smell at all! Okay, I guess that's the flavor I was aiming for, but it's 19 degrees, so I have to restrain myself or I'll be in trouble💦.
Today's balcony barbecue was squid sashimi, shime saba✨, some beef, and pancakes! We'll grill them a little beforehand and serve them crispy on the balcony 😋.
Now, on to the second bottle of sake: ❤️
For individual sake impressions, shinsaku3 is in charge 💕.
Hi Pekho, ☀️
I love the balcony BBQ🍖! Looks so fun & delicious 🥳I saw this and was too scared to buy it for 19 degrees 😖 but it looks so good I might buy it next year✨.
Hello, Pekho!
Happy Birthday to you & shinsaku3🎉!
A balcony party with delicious Japanese sake and Pekho-san's home-cooked food 🎵It's already the best 🤤!
Phehoo 💕Today is a really special day for you 🥰It's your husband's birthday and your wedding anniversary 💒, there's nothing more special than that 😆.
I hope you two are always happy 🥹 and I wish you all the best ✨.
Kotaro 💖Thanks for your comment ‼️The alcohol was so light that it was hard to believe it was 19 degrees! I was in danger of drinking it too much to be true 🤭I wonder if the next one will be next spring? I'd like to try the rest of the series: ❣️
Thank you ma-ki-💖‼️ weather was great and the drinks were delicious so it was a wonderful anniversary😍You can drink out on your anniversary but you can also relax and drink at home ⭕️❣️ I drink every day but on special occasions I can open the bottle with all my heart 😆.
HinaHanaMama 💖Thank you ‼️ for the beautiful weather and the balcony celebration 🎊We couldn't be happier if we could have a good time together with good drinks and food 🎊We wish you and your dad the best of luck too 😘.
Good morning, Pekho 😃
Myself...I don't remember the date of the registry at all 😅I see, good idea to match it with your birthday 🤔.
Ah! Double congrats 🎉 drinking on the balcony! That's the best 🤗
Happy belated special day, Pekho! ㊗️
Good drinks and barbecue, that's great ❗️
After all, it's important to spend time eating slowly and enjoying good drinks 🤗.
Happy anniversary of your wedding 🎉💍💍, Pekho!
You celebrated with a very nice drink 👍👍✨and a dish full of pancakes, sashimi, and meat 😻and it's great ✨!
Jay & Nobby 💖Good morning ‼️ and thank you 🎉GW I've been busy drinking 🤭Sakegawa is late 🙏.
Nobby, Jay forgot the day he joined the family. ‼️ we have to make every day an anniversary now 🥰.
Hiro 💖Good morning ‼️ and thank you ❤️ Every year GW is on the road traveling so much that I think this is the first year I've had a double anniversary that I could drink and celebrate so slowly 🥰I enjoyed it ❣️
Ponchan 💖Good morning ‼️ and thank you ❤️ I enjoyed my anniversary slowly 😊and the pancakes on the balcony BBQ was nice 👍 and recommended by me ‼️ and convenient to bake them ahead of time 🙌
Overall 9 (out of 10)
Today is the anniversary of me and Pekho's wedding!
(And also my birthday😅).
I thought about going to CRAFT SAKE WEEK, but since it was expected to be crowded, I decided to stay home and relax 🏠.
So I'm enjoying sake and food at Verandah Petit Outdoor again from noon 😃.
Today's guests are Mr. Noriguchi and Mr. Kuroemon!
First of all, Mr. Noriguchi!
Highly recommended by the owner of the sake shop!
First time for me to drink Mr. Noriguchi, no sweet and tasty elements at all but it's delicious ❣️😋.
It has an atmosphere similar to that of Ohroku.
It is a brewed sake at 19 degrees, but there is no "alcohol" in it at all!
It has a hard taste with a touch of elegance. 🙇♂️
We had it chilled....

Hello shinsaku3!
Congratulations on your joining the family & happy birthday 🎉!
Two bottles of sake and a meal prepared by Pekho-san is the best way to celebrate your anniversary 😊.
I would love to have a bottle of sake at home 😋.
Good evening, shinsaku3😄!
Happy Birthday 🎂 & Wedding Anniversary 💒🎉㊗️
That's a lot of spirit on your part, Peckho. ‼️
I sincerely wish you both the best in the future ✨.
Good morning, shinsaku3😃!
Happy anniversary of your joining 💍 and incidentally happy birthday 🎂🎉I'd rather drink on the balcony of your house than in the crowded GW city 🤗Noukuchi-san! You don't feel the degrees 😋.
Good morning, Kotaro 😃.
Thank you for your time 😊❗️😊
I wanted to go to CSW too, but I felt like I would spend too much time waiting in line 😅. I gave up 😅.
Yesterday I spent from noon to night relaxing ☺️
Hi ma-ki-😃.
Thank you ❗️☺️
The weather was mild and we had a nice anniversary: ☺️
It was my first time to try the Farmer's Mouth and it wasn't the sweet and savory type, but it was quite good 👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you so much ❗️☺️
Yes, we both have a particular weakness for standing in line for long periods of time😅.
(are we all the same 😅)
Dear Farmer's Mouth, it didn't feel like a degree and was unexpectedly delicious👍.
Happy belated anniversary of joining the club and happy birthday 🎂㊗️, shinsaku3!
Elegant outdoor drinking, plus meat fish and good sake ❗️ is the best 🤩I went to CSW myself and came home groggy from the crowds 😂.
Happy anniversary of your joining us and happy birthday 🎉💍🎂, shinsaku3!
Nice celebration with nice drinks👍✨The balcony looks nice and open😊Please enjoy with Mr. Peckho forever💕.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
Thank you 😊
Looks like CSW was quite crowded. That said, it's a great sake event 🍶.
I'd like to go at least once even if it's crowded😃.
Maybe next time I'll be prepared to go 😃.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Thank you very much! 😊
I kind of like the balcony because the sound of the local train 🚃 passing by sometimes reminds me of the atmosphere under the guard in the Showa era 😃.
I don't know about you, Pekho... 😅
Overall 10 (out of 10)
Yesterday I competed in an off-road motorcycle race in Hiroshima.
For some reason, in the last few years, there have been incidents of bike trouble and crashes on the last lap of the race, and I have not been able to finish the race properly.
This time, I broke this negative jinx and just barely placed 10th in my class🏁.
So today, from mid-afternoon, Mr. Pecko and I have been slowly enjoying Senkou and Kahayo, two of the most popular drinks in Hiroshima that are sure to be a hit!
After SENKYO, we moved on to HUAYOUYAKU!
It's delicious 😋!
It's my first time to drink this brand, but it has a fruity taste common to Hanahyokyu and a delicious flavor that doesn't pull away from the firm sweetness 😋.
I had it chilled.

I really appreciate the race support from Pekho 😊.
The hana-ha-ha bath tasted like a meal on its own 😋.
It was the best 😃.
Good evening shinsaku3😊.
I'm late to the party, but I saw the heated scene of the competition on the web news 👀 and was amazed at the steepness of the cliffs that stood like a wall! Congratulations on finishing the race and winning the prize ✨🎊 🏁.
Good morning, Kotori 😃.
Thank you very much ‼️❣️😃
It was very hard and for some reason I was also happy to see that I had been out of luck every year 😊.
The Sentori & Kahayo, which are usually delicious, tasted even better 😊.
Today I bought my first ㊗️ Yamama-sama, so I'll start the party in the evening. ‼️ Hurry up Kakugami Gyorui🍣!
When I drank Oroku at the beginning of the year, Mr. Jive told me that squid would go well with it 🤔I'll buy some squid nigiri and compare them with the rest of Oroku and Yamama 😍I came home and hurriedly prepared my usual menu 🥂Kanbai 🎉.
Comparing Yamama and Oroku is fateful✨Both are delicious sakes with an exquisite bitterness characterized by minerality. Yamama has a more subtle sweet aroma and flavor, and the bitterness gives it a nice kick 😋.
The pairing is similar, but with or without the sweetness ✨.
Nice pairing with squid to dispel the mismatch with fish and shellfish when we drank Ohroku the day before yesterday ❤️😍I see, it's a pairing from the Sea of Japan ‼️
Yamama has a wider range of pairings: ajijo, salad, sweet root vegetables, and today's sweet potato with cream cheese goes better than the Ohroku 🥰 I'm so happy!
I think I read an article about a recent boom in bitterness in the sake boom, which continued from dry and light to sweet and fruity. I wonder if it is just a boom of bitterness in my house 🤣🤣.
I'm shinsake3 for the impressions of the sake alone 💕.
Good evening, Pheho😄Today's drinking and pairing compatibility game is ‼️ I've learned quite a bit 📚 how to match dry and sweet dishes. Depending on the food, the taste of the sake will change as well☝️I'm not going to get into the bitterness craze, so I'm still waiting 💦.
HinaHanaMamaSan💕I was so tipsy that I even ate ramen noodles to finish the meal 🤭The ramen has a mountainous area⭕️. Jay & Nobby pointed out to me that we have very different taste judgments as a couple‼️🤣I have to make an S&P index‼️
Hi Pekho 😃
Congrats on your first mountainous area ㊗️ 🎉!
We like squid too and often have nigiri as a snack 😋 Well, our versatile tongue (or as we often say 🤣) will always come back to "旨い😙" 😅.
Masaaki Sapporo💓Thanks for your comment ‼️ It's fun to compare drinks with different meals! The pairings of the drinks we compare are also very deep 🥰I'm drinking the rest of the mountainous area today with potatoes👍😍.
Jay & Nobby 💓Good evening 💓Good evening ‼️You are going to be addicted to mountain ma lol😍We also say it's spicy or bitter, but that means it's delicious 😋😆Happy evening 🙌❤️We are still laughing at each other with the exact opposite appreciation for the same drink 🤣.

Let me copy Jay & Nobby's "I've Never Drank Series" ❣️
This sake caught my eye at a liquor store I frequent.
I was attracted to it by the advertising of "juicy, umakuchi Yamama, which is not like Niigata sake".
I was attracted by the advertisement "Juicy and delicious, not like Niigata sake" and bought it!
I tried it right away!
It's delicious!
When I think of Niigata sake, I always think of it as
I have an image that it is clear and dry.
but it certainly has a juicy and umami taste.
It is true that it has a juicy and umami taste, but
but the image is added to the spiciness and transparency.
It is a solid impression of Niigata sake 😅.
p.s. I went to Ikebukuro Sake Brewery yesterday, 3/28.
Yesterday, 3/28, I went to a liquor store in Ikebukuro to buy some Oroku, which had impressed me for a long time, but I couldn't find Oroku there, instead there was a sign saying "temporarily closed as of 3/27". 😫😭
I had it chilled.

shinsaku3, good evening😄Yamama, I remember when I went to Niigata, the liquor store recommended it to me: ❣️ I bought Murayu at that time, so I gave up on Yamama 😭Oh Luk👑, I didn't realize that the liquor store is temporarily closed...sad 🥹.
Good evening, shinsaku3!
Yamama, juicy and delicious! It is my favorite brand. I also feel that the base is Niigata sake, so you are right, it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is not like Niigata sake 💧 (laughs).
Good morning shinsaku3😃!
Congratulations to Yamama for your first drink challenge ㊗️ 🎉We also had it for the first time last year, but that one was pretty sweet 😅I think the next one will be Oni Yamama 👹 🤔🤗.
Good evening, hinahana mama 😃.
I just noticed Yamama-san, but it must be a pretty major sake if a local liquor store recommends it to you 😃.
Sorry to hear about Oroku.... 😢.
I'll have to find another dealer 👀.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It was a delicious sake and I was browsing the brewery's website and it caught my eye, Oni Yamama 👹.
And there are red, blue and yellow 😮.
I'm curious - I'd like to try them all 😅.
Hatsugo Ariki ㊗️🎉
Fresh and juicy as the title of the drink 💖What type of drink is light cemedine type. It was really easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content, which would go well with any meal 🥰And by the way, I Ariki is a great word ✨.
Today,
Stir-fried norabo greens, snap peas, and steamed eggplant with ume plum sauce, as we got this vegetable called "norabo" in Saitama from my grandpa in the field. Sashimi of yellowtail and fried chicken, and corn and corned beef with brown rice pilaf🌽.
The dressing with ume plum paste and shiso leaves was quite good with sake. ‼️
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsake3💕.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho😄.
Norabo! I've never heard of it before😆 Is it an everyday vegetable in Saitama? Konkon brown rice pilaf 😍delicious🤤That's a great idea ❣️ I also want rice to finish off my drinks 👍or doria ✌️
Hi Pekho 😃
I was thinking of shinsaku3's review as a hard and absolute sake, but Peckho's review is fresher and lighter! but your review is a bit lighter and fresher 🤗The couple's review is kind of interesting 😃.
HinaHanaMama 💓Norabo is available in supermarkets too! I didn't know that until I moved here 👀I want to have some rice to finish it off 🥰Doria sounds good 👍and then I want dessert too 🍨.
Jay & Nobby💓It's really funny, isn't it? We always write while drinking and eating together and show each other how it turned out. We always show each other how it turned out, and then we ask each other if we're right 🤭How about you two, Jay & Nobby? ❤️
Ponchan💓Norabo seems to be only in Saitama and Nishitama area 🧐It looks like thick stemmed firm leaves, more tough than rape, but it has no acridity, sweeter than spinach and much softer than Chinese cabbage or komatsuna 😘.

This is my first time drinking!
I have read the website 📖.
The brewery does not compete with the gorgeous aroma of polished sake, but instead makes stylish sake with classic ingredients that highlight the natural sweetness and umami of the rice, mainly using old yeast.
We do not make sake based on comparisons with other sake breweries, but rather we explore new flavors.
Sake that is not relative, but absolute.
That's what they say 🧐.
It has a hard-core feel 👍
Delicious 😋.
Unlike the description, I don't find much sweetness and umami, but the "miscellaneous taste" that rice 🌾 originally has is brought to the forefront, and it is lightly put together so that it doesn't become tart👍
Full-bodied but light
It is full-bodied but light, and has such a contradictory taste.
Juicy Oroku
That's my impression 😋.
It was served chilled!

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I saw this one for the first time here: 💁♀️
It has a classic feel to it. I also felt the attention to detail: ☺️ It looks very spicy and astringent 😅and yet juicy, that's amazing 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
It was my first time too and it was unexpectedly good👍.
And this confidence👍
It's cool 😎.
I sometimes think it would be even better if the label was a bit more hardcore 😅.
Following the Ogawa yeast #40, #44: ❣️
In comparison (vague taste memory 😥), it has a bitter fruity feeling with no acidity. It is easy to drink but difficult🤨to taste.
But today's menu is also complex? So it was a complex ✖️ complex and quite an interesting pairing.
Sautéed anchovies with butter and soy sauce, this had a strange harmony and was delicious!
Grilled chicken with boiled fried burdock root as an accompaniment! The chicken was simply ⭕️, and the burdock root was a bit more astringent than the other, and I think a little difference brought out the differences 🧐.
It was the usual salad of garland chrysanthemum and chikuwa ⭕️😊.
After this, I'm going to finish with sakura mochi🌸 and it goes great❤️🥰!
For impressions of the sake by itself, shinsake3 is in charge 💕.
Good evening, Pekho😄Oh! I thought the thick fried tofu was tossed with butter and soy sauce, but it's ON butter🧈💕I just looked at the picture alone and it looks like French toast😍The strange harmony is interesting🤣Chicken and alcohol is my favorite too ❣️
HinaHanaMama-san❤️Good morning‼️I drank too much yesterday😅I was thinking maybe ginger soy sauce while baking thick fried bean curd in salted rice bran for half a day, but the aroma of the finished product made me think "yeah butter‼️"! It's like French toast😍.
