Timeline
バウムI'm uploading a series of weekend unposted 😅.
First of all, Thursday. I had a paid day off on Friday, so I went straight to the Shinkansen 🚄 after work.
I opened the bottle with him as he was waiting for dinner 🍶 and he chose "Tasake" Kijoshu.
The bottle was opened immediately and the aroma was...
Sweet and fruity aroma.
I took a sip, expecting it to be too sweet ⁉️ since it is a kijoshu.
It's sweet but not heavy❗️ and the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing😍This is an easy drinker. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a small bottle of this stuff, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a small bottle of this stuff, too 😋It's a good idea to have a small bottle of this stuff, too 😅Ms.Wife likes it and tonight the glass is getting empty pretty fast 😱.
I would have loved to have had another bottle, but I decided to end the party moderately tonight, but it was a surprisingly tasty bottle 😍. バウムToday, I took you to Naraman (🍶), which was popular (← by itself 😅) last time.
Among the many varieties available, we trusted our instincts and went with this one 🚲.
It started off with a mild aroma and then a refreshingly spicy taste 😋.
It was a very refreshing and spicy taste 😋. It has a beautiful aftertaste and a nice lingering aftertaste 😍.
This brewery fits my tastes just fine 😋.
My taste for sake is starting from dry, once I get into fruity and then back to dry 😅 I want to be able to drink in a good balance. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Mr. Baum 😃.
The flow of dry, glamorous, dry! We're in a similar boat 🤗
And that ‼️ is the best way to balance the results 😋. バウムHi Jay & Nobby 😊Is this process a classic in a way 😅I hope I don't have to go there and return and find no harvest at the original location ❗️ 😅. 
バウムToday is another first for the brand series🍶.
I was engrossed in staring at the refrigerator at the liquor store when I was served this sake, which was listed as the clerk's top choice: ❗️.
I've never had a chance to try it before because I had a vague image of a dry classic, but....
This time I took up the challenge😅I opened the bottle and started with the aroma. The aroma is mild and you can't feel the classic flavor from the aroma. Then, take a sip 🍶.
The spiciness spreads in the mouth and disappears as it goes down the throat, then a slight sweetness spreads in the mouth.
This is completely different from the dry classic 😅.
The aftertaste is clean and the sweetness that spread at the end disappears quickly, leaving you with a fresh feeling as you take your next sip 😋. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Mr. Baum 😃.
First time drinking challenge👍Good initiative🤗Sake store popups sometimes push you to go for it! A refreshing and tasty first time for you 😋You're expanding your world again! バウムGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😊There are still so many Japanese sake that I don't know about, and it's a very small world, so I'm looking forward to expanding 😍. ヤスベェSpring Nigorinpic 53
I walked to the Expo Park in Suita this morning with a tent and a large table😇.
I'm going to enjoy sake at a place where I can see the most beautiful cherry blossoms in the Expo Park😇.
I came to this place with a tent and a table just like this time last year, but that time I had Ozeyuki which I got yesterday as an accompaniment 😇.
This year, I decided to go with Sakura OHANAMI by Senkori 😇.
Kaorin had issued a ban on purchasing this sake, but after reading Nao888's and others' posts, I really wanted to try this year's sake, so I told Kaorin that it was for the cherry blossom viewing so I could bring it along 🤣.
The sake was made differently and as you said, it had a more umami flavor with a carbonated acidity that made it perfect for Hanami 😇
Tochigi Ai no Hanami Sake 🌸 was very delicious 😀. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛You went for the cherry blossoms 🍶The cherry blossoms look very nice against a background of a light nigori 🌸It's light and refreshing yet delicious, perfect for hanami 🤤We've definitely met somewhere already ✨️ ひなはなママGood evening, Yasbay😄.
I like it! I'd like to try hanami sake 🍶 with hanami 🌸 someday too 😆 cherry blossoms are so beautiful 🤩Senkou's 🌸 is really perfect for it ❣️ It's an annual event for both of you 🥰! ma-ki-Good evening, Yasube-san!
You made a great choice of sake to go with the cherry blossoms 🌸.
Bringing a table and walking is really a great sake activity 😋.
Annual event with seasonal sake - great time 😊. ShinThe west side of the Expo Tower of the Sun is a more relaxed place than the east side, where the people are more dispersed. I always drink beer, so I'm going to follow Yasube's example and bring my own sake this time 🍶. マナチーGood morning, Yasubeyesan ☀Bento, sake and sakura, well, it's a good day for a happy day ❤️ ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
Quintessence! That's a stunning hanami🌸 table: ‼️
Thank you for the Tochigi love 🥰 which I'm happy to drink over the purchase ban 😆😊. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
I apologize for omitting to add "san" to your name in the body of my post 🙇.
Nao888, do you have an instagram or something like that❓
Please take a peek at yasubei_planets if you like😇 ヤスベェHi, HinaHanaMama 😀
I used to bring sake only for Hanami (cherry blossom viewing), but nowadays I take sake with me every time I go walking in the park😇.
Sake is great to drink outside during a nice walk 😀. ヤスベェHi, ma-ki-chan 😀
I was able to bring my tent again this year and enjoy drinking slowly and nonchalantly 🌸.
After all, I'm glad I broke my purchase ban after reading your post on Sake-no-wa 🤣. ヤスベェHi Shin 😀
I used to bring beer or highball every time, but nowadays I'm looking forward to bring sake every time😇
Not just for Hanami, but by all means every time 🤣. ヤスベェHi Manachie 😀
It's a short walk, about 4 km one way, but the bento and delicious sake were enough for me to enjoy 🌸😇.
I'm glad there are places like this nearby 😀. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
The purchase ban was powerless in front of the delicious Tochigi sake 🤣.
Hanami and good sake is the best combination 😇 ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasbay🦉.
This sake, delicious looking food, cherry blossoms in full bloom, the best hanami ever 🌸🌸🌸 and I'm glad you got permission to buy it 😆 prohibition, they really can't afford to buy it 😂. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
We still have a lot of stock and our cellar and fridge are full to the brim, so we don't have official permission, but we were forced to buy this alcohol by saying that we will slowly drink it up in the park and not stock it 🤣. ポンちゃんAhaha! I had a hand in drinking it all up 🤣. ヤスベェRecently, we have had a series of Mie sake, so we opened a bottle of this Jikin to round out our Mie sake lineup😇.
I've had this one many times and it's still delicious and well balanced, and the Aiyama rice is one of my favorite rice varieties, so how could it not be delicious?
The Saku that we opened yesterday is also very tasty and I think it is more fruity than Jikin, which is our favorite, but I still prefer Jikin because of its good balance and umami 🤣.
However, I'd like to drink some of Jikin's fresh sake during the season, since they've only been making hi-iru recently 😀. Nao888Good evening, Yasube-san 🌛Oh, isn't that ✨️ Jikin-sama 😳It's a good way to end the Mie Sake season 🍶I think that's why Jikin-sama is so well balanced while showing the characteristics of any sake rice 🤤Nama-sake🤤. ma-ki-Good evening, Yasube-san!
I've been a big fan of Mie sake for some reason or another, but Jikin has a special place in my heart ✨.
I had Aizan for the first time last year and all I remember is that it was delicious 😋. ヤスベェHi Nao888!
I think it's great that Jikin-sama is able to balance the characteristics of the different sake rice while keeping the balance that is typical of Jikin-sama 😇.
I've been drinking a lot of hi-iru sake lately, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to enjoy the nama-zake as well 🤣. ヤスベェHi, ma-ki- 😀
The balance that is typical of the special Jikin really makes it special among the Mie sake 😇.
I'm very lucky with Jikin's lottery, but I often win the hi-iru sake more often than the nama-shu 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
From Saku to Jikin! It's a star relay of Mie sake 👍Taste of the god of balance 😋 I haven't had it for a while, I have to go look for it💦. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
After all, Saku-san and Jikin-san are the superstars of Mie sake😇.
I've been lucky with Jikin and Jikin-san, but I have no luck at all with Shinsei 6 kuji, so I wish I could trade my luck with you two 🤣. ちばさんIt's getting warmer and the cherry blossoms are almost here, so it's time to open this bottle.
It has the deliciousness of tasake with the lightness and fruity flavor of spring.
Delicious! ちばさんMy favorite one in a long time.
It's still delicious. ちばさんIt feels much calmer than when I drank it last year.
It is beautiful and honestly delicious.
I will drink it with care. ヤスベェI came back to Osaka from Nagano safely 😀.
I couldn't sleep at all on the night bus on the way back 😅.
It seemed like it was raining and windy and there was quite a bit of shaking so I didn't have time to sleep 🤣.
After taking a bath and getting ready for bed, I opened a bottle of this sake 😀.
This is Senkou's Sanshiki which was recommended by JN 😇.
This delicious carbonation is sinking in to my tired body 😀.
It's delicious 😀.
I thought I would get drunk and take a nap, but the Expo Ekiden is running near my house where I often walk, so I can't watch TV and go to sleep 🤣.
By the way, the 4th picture is the harvest from Ueda to Nagano this time 😇. ＠水橋Thanks for your hard work on the Shinshu bullet trip, Yasube!
A day late, I'm eating soba noodles in Chikuma right now😃.
It's ☔️ cold today with sleet mixed in.
I think I'm going to get caught up and buy a lot of sake 🍶. ジェイ&ノビィHey Yasbay, I'm so glad to hear from you 😃.
We were both worried that you couldn't sleep 😅I'm sorry you couldn't sleep 🥲Senkou Sanshiki is a light drink, so I hope it soothed your tiredness a little 😌.
I'm looking forward to the harvest festival! ヤスベェHello @Mizuhashi 😀
We just switched places and are now in Nagano 😀.
This is the first time I've had local soba and local sake together in Shinshu, but I guess Shinshu soba and Nagano sake go well together😇
I hope @Mizuhashi-san will have a good sake connection too 🙏. ヤスベェJay & Nobby, thank you here too 🙏.
I guess I'm getting old, but when I see young people sleeping on the bus, I envy their youth 🤣.
The deliciousness of Sentori Sanshiki was really sinking in for my tired body😇. こぞうMr. Yasube.
Good evening.............................!
Long distance buses are not my thing either💦.
I envy your sake lineup 🤩. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan🌛It sounds like the bus ride home was tough 😅but the amount of souvenirs worth it 🍶 that would fill up our sake fridge is something to envy 🤤Please enjoy yourself ✨️ ヤスベェGood evening, kozou-san 😀
The stamina to sleep anywhere is a privilege of youth 🤣.
I used to be fine with taking night buses for skiing...
Kaorin and I agreed that we would never take a night bus again😅. ヤスベェGood evening, Nao888 😀
I've been holding off on buying sake for a while in preparation for my trip, but now that my sake cellar and fridge are full again after this trip, I'll hold off on buying for a while 🤣. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpic 48
Kaorin asked me what kind of sake we should have for today's nabe, so I thought about it 🤣.
I opened the bottle thinking that since Honorary Ikezuki is a sweet and delicious sake, I wanted something nigori, dry and sharp...and if it wasn't nigori, Shichibonjari would be perfect for this 😇.
It was a jackpot 🎯!
Even though it's nigori, it doesn't feel too sweet, and the moderate umami of rice and the acidity from the activation accentuate the dryness, so it went well with the hot pot 😀.
Kaorin was happy that this was the best sake we drank today and that I have grown up to be able to drink dry sake, but I think it was probably because it was a pot with a robust flavor that this sake was perfect for it 😀.
It was a delicious sake that was perfect for a solid tasting dish😇. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
This is the nigori I want to drink! I see that nigori, like clear sake, goes well with food 😋and it's great that you combined it with the taste of the hot pot✨Dashi, what kind of flavor is it? ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
I had my favorite hot pot, Tenka Ippin's dry flavor 🤣.
It was a very strong flavor of chicken and white soup, so the more nigori (rice gruel) but still strong flavor of shichibonjari was perfect for me 😇 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasube!
I had a clear sake at the sushi restaurant the other day 😋 but for some reason I've never had the absolutely delicious active nigori 🥲 I'd like to try it somehow 🥹. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
I think this Shichibonjari is the closest to the two of the active nigori I drank 😀.
Kaorin was the first to say the driest sake in the drinking comparison was the best 🤣. バウムAfter a day off from drinking, today's drink is
ROMAN" 🍶.
I didn't know it was a light nigori sake, so I just had a glass of the top clear 😅.
The aroma is not as fruity as the usual Romain, and there is a slight alcohol smell... So I took a sip and it was not so fruity as the aroma, but refreshing 😊.
It's not as sweet and tasty as usual, but rather clean and refreshing.
I feel a new Romain 😋.
Here, I noticed a light bitterness 😱.
I mixed a little and had a second cup 🍶.
Even with the nigori mixed in, it still has a strong refreshing feeling and is still a new Loman, different from the usual feeling.
It was so refreshing that I drank it easily 😱. 
バウムAnother first issue series today🍶 "Ona".
This is another brand that I was curious about.
We finally had a chance to bring it to you.
We opened the bottle immediately.
Let's start with the aroma,
Fruity ⤴️ It was surprisingly fruity, and I immediately took a sip. It is sweet and delicious 🥰 followed by a slight sourness❓bitterness❓I really feel a slight bitterness that eases the sweetness.
It's so good 😋😋😋😋.
The sweetness is a little strong but also refreshing.
You can drink more and more 😍.
Tochigi Sake 😱
I thought Ona-san was famous for their nigori ⁉️, but if it's this good, I'm sure it's good for all of them 🥰.......
I'd like to try the dry version too. It was an intriguing bottle 💫. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Mr. Baum 😃.
Congratulations on finally meeting your first Ona ㊗️ 🎉 whether it's cloudy or clear! Sweet or spicy, ‼️ they are all definitely delicious 😋 gentle Tochigi sake 😉 Enjoy 👋 バウムGood evening, Jay and Nobby 😊.
It was our first Ona-san after a bit of preparation, but it was so delicious that I don't know if it was my own strength or Tochigi sake's levity 😱, but I savored it with satisfaction that I found a delicious sake 😋. 
バウムToday's first issue of the series
The first in a series of first bottles 🍶 "Yamano Kotobuki".
Among the many brands available, I chose this one just because of the label 😅Sake from Kyushu is also quite good, so I opened the bottle with high expectations.
The aroma is not that strong, it's more of a refreshing type 😊.
And then I took a sip. It's clean and refreshing, with a slight spiciness spreading slowly in the aftertaste.
The spiciness is just right and disappears easily.
It's the kind of sake that goes down smoothly and is easy to drink too much 😅.
I have a lot of intuition when it comes to sake choice these days, but I never get a bad one 😁.
Maybe I'm using too much luck here😅.
Well, it's a good thing I'm finding good sake 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Baum 😃
It would be great to win the label choice 🤗I think that as you drink your first brand, you will naturally win the national title! バウムGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😊A hit 🎯 with your label choice doubles your happiness 😍.
Hope you can conquer the whole country before you find a good sake 😊. バウムNormal operation from today 😃.
First issue of the series has resumed and this time it's "Naraman" 🍶.
Without any preconceptions, I opened the bottle and started with the aroma...mild aroma. Take a sip.
The impression is clean and refreshing, and the spiciness follows from the sweetness.
The aftertaste disappears quickly and you are left waiting for the next sip. The impression of "beautiful" is perfect.
I thought the sake brewery was in Nara prefecture because of the brand name "Naraman"...but I didn't realize it was in Fukushima 😅.
Oh, it's so good 😋. ジェイ&ノビィHi Baum 😃
Congratulations on your first Fukushima sake 😆Naraman ㊗️ 🎉I know you think it's Nara 😅.
But Fukushima has a lot of good sake too 😋. バウムHi Jay & Nobby 😊I have a lot of first time sake, but Fukushima and Tochigi have a lot of really good sake 🥰, gives me the courage to go to more uncharted areas 😋. 
バウムToday is also the first issue of the series 🍶 "Abukuma
Abukuma
We found it while shopping at a liquor store 💡.
It was a brand I wasn't expecting at all, but since it's a Junmai Ginjo, I decided to give it a try and brought it along 😅.
I opened the bottle and started with the aroma...
Fruity ⤴️ and a sip 🍶.
I wonder if this is called "beautiful" ⁉️. It has a clear mouthfeel and flows smoothly down the throat.
It's a little spicy as the temperature rises, but it's totally clear and unctuous 😋.
It is really delicious ⤴️ I didn't know there was such a delicious sake even if it is a brand that is completely new to me... 😱.
It was a brand that made me rediscover the depth of sake more and more 😊. ma-ki-Good evening, Mr. Baum.
You've really pioneered a new series with your first brand series: ⤴️
I love the moment when you suddenly find a sake that you like even if it's not a major player 🎵.
Sake really is very deep 😊. バウムma-ki-San, good evening 😊I can't remember why I brought you here myself, so I thought there was some connection... 😅this is also fate 🥰. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Baum 😃.
Trust your instincts in this series😄Good to know! I have a theory that the sake that catches my eye at the liquor store is usually good 🤗.
The simple back label also gives a sense of confidence👍. バウムHi Jay & Nobby 😊I have the information in mind here, and even when I head to the liquor store, I end up changing it on a hunch 😅, but I am amazed at how strong the recent hiccups have been for me 😁.

Snow Dharma Drinking Comparison 4️⃣
The second bottle of Sentori Snow Dharma is this UA Snake🐍 😀.
It will be the first zodiac sake of the year 😀.
The amount of ori was the highest for the regular Snow Dharma and the lowest for this UA Snake, but it was more fiercely carbonated than yesterday's Snow Dharma, and as soon as we opened the bottle, it started to auto-stir and we couldn't get any supernatant 😀.
The taste is a bit lighter and fruitier than the Snow Dharma, but the acidity and spiciness from the carbonation mixes nicely and is delicious 🐍❤️
Taste-wise, Kaolin and I both preferred the UA Snake from here 🐍. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay😃.
I like the idea of a zodiac bottle to coincide with the first day of spring 🤗We've almost never had UA 😅but the UA here looks delicious 😋. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Actually, our fridge and sake cellar are in a mess and this year we gave up on the Risshun morning squeeze 😅.
So I've been thinking about the order of the sake and I'm in the mood for Risshun 🤣.
I wonder when the fridge will be reduced 😅. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpic 32
Snow Dharma Drinking Comparison 3️⃣
This is just my own idea, but I chose the Five Greatest Nigori Sake based on the nigori sakes I drank during last year's Nigorinpic and this year's event 😀.
For me, the five greatest nigori are Jikin, Hirotogawa, Ona, Hanazumi and... and this Snow Dharma 🤣.
The other 4 bottles I drank this season confirmed the deliciousness of the other 4 bottles, but I finally got to my first Yukidharma this season 😀.
I heard that Sentori changed their production this year, so I was really looking forward to it, but it is as delicious as ever 😇.
Thanks to the fact that it was well chilled, it didn't blow out and I was able to get the supernatant without any problems 😀.
The supernatant and nigori that had been brought to room temperature and the nigori that had been chilled 😀 Each has different nuances.
Each one has its own nuances, but they were all delicious 🤣.
However, the chilled one was the most tasty as it gave the most nuance of the active nigori with a sense of effervescence 😇. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasube 😃.
I'm glad to see two bottles of Tochigi sake in the Godai nigori 🤗The newborn snowman ⛄️ is definitely good too 😋. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
It's true😇
Except for Mie Prefecture's Jikin, Tochigi Prefecture's ❤️ and Fukushima Prefecture's 2 bottles each became my 5 biggest nigori 😇.
I'm looking forward to drinking 2 more bottles of Snow Dharma from now on 😀. バウムToday is my first brand series 🍶 "Banjo Kotobuki" 🍶 which I brought to the liquor store after much deliberation in front of the fridge 🍶.
I was attracted by the label and the cosmetics😅.
The bottle was opened immediately. The aroma is a little sour. A sip and it's surprisingly refreshing and not too sour 😅I guess my stupid nose is exploding ⁉️
The aftertaste is also refreshing 😋That's right 🎯⁉️ and the second sip... I raise the temperature range to feel a little taste in my mouth... First the aroma is like a disinfectant 😱The taste is also a little peculiar 😅.
I take a chaser to clear my mouth and take another sip 🍶I can feel the beautiful taste when I drink it normally 😅It's a little strange sake 🍶. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpik 29
This is the first challenge nigori sake brewed by Matsuyama Shuzo since its revival in 2023 in Fushimi, Kyoto.
I actually had a chance to talk to the head brewer of this brewery, who moved from a major brewery to Matsuyama Shuzo last summer at an event in Namba for the revival of the brewery, and I have been paying attention to it since then.
The fruity sweetness and deliciousness filled my mouth in a natural way with no clinginess at all 😇.
Delicious 😀
It was a really nice Kyoto nigori sake brewed with Kyoto celebratory rice and a yeast called Kyoto no Koto 😇.
And the label was very impressive, beautifully depicting a ten stone boat floating on the moat of Fushimi in the snow 😀. ポンちゃんHi Yasbaye 🐦🐦.
Winter nigori also looks delicious 👍👍00You spoke with the toji at the event ✨I think it will taste even better because you can directly feel the creator's thoughts 😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yasbay😃.
The reflection of the bottle on the label also looks like snow in the light 🥹It's kind of live 😌.
Sake that you have a lot of feelings for is going to be a little bit better 😋. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan!
I guess when I hear about the creator's thoughts, it makes me think even more about the sake 🤣.
But really, this sake was so delicious that I could picture Kyoto and winter flowing through my mind's eye! ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
After looking back at what you said, it really does look like snowflakes, even the lights reflected on the bottle 🤣.
It was a really delicious sake that lived up to the beautiful label, I hope you'll try it😇. ちばさんI was lucky enough to buy a bottle of Tasyu light nigorigo, which I was too curious about, so I immediately opened the bottle.
I can't stop grinning just from the aroma.
And of course, it tastes the best. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
