バウムTonight is "Abukuma" 🍶.
I wasn't planning to take you this time...
When we went to the liquor store, the fridge was lonely, probably due to the Obon holiday 😩.
And they have mainly sake bottles and not so many Yong bottles 🤣.
After pondering what to do 💦, I decided to go with Junmai Ginjo regardless of the brand 😅.
The aroma is mature, but the flavor is slightly fruity and the mouthfeel is refreshing and easy to drink 😍.
We enjoyed it very much! バウムThe second bottle for the opening ceremony was my son-in-law's choice
Tasake" 🍶.
This is a stable drink without any complaints 😋.
There were so many of us that we ended up drinking only one glass, so I don't remember much of the taste, but we wanted to drink a variety of sake and everyone had different tastes, so there was nothing we could do to satisfy everyone 🤣.
I would like to taste it again with my husband and wife 😋. DainaSparkling純米吟醸生酒にごり酒発泡 ヤスベェKaorin asked me to choose what kind of sake to drink tonight since we are having yakiniku 😇.
I like a shwashy sake with yakiniku, so I often pair it with Sansho-san, but today I'm opening a bottle of Ona-san sparkling sake that we just had at home 😀.
I have not had a bottle of Ona-san since the Nigorinpik, but it has the expected schwarziness 🤣.
Yes... delicious 🤣
This is my 103rd bottle of Nigorinpik this season and it is definitely delicious😇
It was a delicious Tochigi Ai ❤️ sake that was as good as Kumamoto Prefecture's sparkling sake 😇
Correction, this was my 104th bottle of nigorinpic this season 🤣. chikaHow much is there 🤣✨✨
I mean, ona delicious 🤔🍶. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛I got this one and was looking for the right time to drink it: ☺️ I can only hope that it is as good as that sake from Kumamoto prefecture, Tochigi love ❣️ コタローGood evening, Yasube!
Yakiniku and shuwa shuwa, I totally understand 😆 I just opened a bottle of shuwa shuwa on hamburger today too 🥳Birthday and Ona are both good ‼️👍 ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasubeyesan 😃.
Spark is good for Yakiniku. ‼️ If you look back, our first Ona-san was here 😌It's not too sweet, but refreshing and ummayyyy one 🤗.
I'm glad to hear that 🥰 love delicious Tochigi 🥰. ヤスベェGood evening, chika 😀
It's getting a lot less, but still there is still a lot of nigori in the fridge 🤣. ヤスベェGood evening, Nao888!
I knew you got it right 😇
It was as good as my favorite sake from Kumamoto 😇
I think you can drink it with high expectations: 🙆♂️ ヤスベェGood evening, Kotaro 😀
I'm so glad you're one of us, Kotaro 😇
I think sparkling sake and meat is a highly rated pairing, and Ona's sparkling sake was a definite pairing as well😇. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I took the liberty of thinking that you two were the first Ona-san on the main road, so I was a bit surprised that the sparkling was the first 🤣.
But the Tochigi sparkling was also very good 😀. ちばさんIt's been so hot lately that I haven't been able to drink any sake!
However, I opened a bottle of the one I had when I was on my Bon vacation.
Tasake's approach is a little different from the refreshing or acidic ones.
It's amazing how it feels like summer even though it has a strong flavor. Delicious. バウムWe will finish our work before the vacations without a hitch with the appearance of "Ona" (🍶), which we are very excited to introduce to you.
The bright red label caught my eye and I brought this one along 😍.
Time was flying by while I was trying to decide when to drink it 🤣.
The aroma and taste
I thought Aizan was a little sour ⁉️, but it is fruity and delicious 😍.
Ona-san never misses ❗️
I like ❤️ again 🥰! ジェイ&ノビィHi Baum 😃.
It's a psycho moment to finish work and start the holidays 🥹.
Yes! Ona-san won't miss it 😉 Don't worry about it 🤗 バウムGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😊.
Once again, I am reminded that Tochigi sake is horrible 😱🤣. ヤスベェThe one we're having today is by Tasake 😀.
I don't really need to comment on it because it's a classic taste 🤣.
Lately, I've been into special junshu, not just Tasake's 😀.
I feel that there are many special junmai sake that have a more robust rice flavor than jundai or jungin sake😇. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I like your post! I was going to do a special on "special pure" last year, but I couldn't find much and gave up on it 🤣Please do post all kinds of special pure 😊🙏. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon-chan 😀
Quicksilver Pon-chan, you have planned a special pure festival 😀.
I thought about doing it too, but it seems to be a bit difficult for me to post continuously 🤣.
I guess I can only post for 2 days at a time 😅. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasube 😃.
Tasake no Tokujun! I drank it for the first time this year and it was a solidly delicious Kuradan 😋 Special Jun festival! Looks interesting🤗 ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Lately I feel that Junmai Daiginjos are too clean and I like Tokujun with a little accent😇.
But there is no space for Tokujun in the cellar because there are so many Jun-Dai and Jun-Gin in the cellar 🤣. バウムTonight is a summer sake from "Jyuseki" 🍶.
Gentle from the start 😓, gentle in taste...Oh my god, it's so gentle that it feels like ❗️ summer sake ⁉️ 😅.
The image of summer sake is destroyed 💦.
Sourness, bitterness, sweetness.... Hmmm 😓.
All mild💦.
Well, it's okay, but something is missing 😅...
It's good enough for drinking alone, but too mild for a food sake 😓... 😅 ちばさんIt's been a while since I got it.
It's still very perfect - it's so delicious. I feel good from the morning. ma-ki-Hello, Chiba-san!
It's a good mood from the morning 🎵.
I also got Tasake's special junmai, so I'm looking forward to drinking Tasake's high perfection 🤤. ちばさんHello.
Tasake-san is delicious!
Enjoy the hot weather, but take your time 😊. ちばさんI bought it because of its simple and impactful appearance.
The clear and crisp flavor is a good summer drink. haniwa56Dragonfly found. I bought it because I had enjoyed drinking Akabontonbo at a tavern before. This is my first Blue Dragonfly. The bottle looks cool and suitable for summer. It has a little bit of nigori.
It is my favorite type of sake, with a nice aroma and a delicious flavor. It was delicious, with a nice crispness and a refreshing taste. The Dragonfly series is also available. ヤスベェThe Japanese Sake Festival will be held in Benten-cho, Osaka starting tomorrow 😀 I took a half day off from work today to participate in the event from setting up the venue 😀.
I took a half day off from work today to participate from the setup of the venue 😀.
It took me 3 hours from 14:00 to complete the set up 😀.
I am looking forward to participating as a volunteer staff at the venue for the next two days starting tomorrow 😇.
Tired from the hot weather, I enjoyed a glass of low-alcohol sparkling sake today 😀.
This is my second Nanabonjari awaibuki 😀.
It didn't feel like sake, in a good way, and I drank it all up with a refreshing taste 😇.
It's the perfect sake for days like this 😀. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛Thanks for all your hard work setting up the venue ✨I happened to be in Bentencho so I glanced around and it looks nice ☺️awaibuki looks good too 🍶I will recharge my batteries tomorrow 🤤. ヤスベェGood morning, Nao888!
When I get to work with you from setting up the venue, it makes me feel more excited about the event and makes it even more fun 😀.
The awaibuki was the best match for my hot body 😀. haniwa56I went to buy other sake and found it, so I bought it. I have had Tasake Special Junmai before, but this was my first time drinking Kojonishiki.
The aroma was strong and the taste was delicious, just like Tasake. It is also delicious.
I paired it with hand-rolled sushi, and it was perfect. It went well with sushi rice. It was delicious. ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpik 93
We opened a bottle of 寫楽's Summer Gin Usu Nigori 😀.
This sake was pressed for the summer, bottled after one heat treatment, and then stored before shipping 😇.
The first aroma was melon, but the nuance was a bit quiet and subdued 😀.
In the mouth, it has a refreshing acidity as if it was made with summer sake in mind, but it also has the delicious nigori taste of rice 😇.
The aftertaste was also clean and crisp, making it a delicious sake that can easily be paired with any dish😇.
We paired it with sashimi. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛I'm jealous that I haven't been able to take you to 寫楽さん recently because the timing hasn't been right at all 🤤I drank it last year, but I heard it is mainly delicious and the acidity is very refreshing 🤣I want to drink it after a long time 🤤. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
Three of the liquor stores I frequent carry 寫楽さん, so it's a pretty easy sake to get for me😇.
I think it's worth drinking, so please do your best to get some 😀 ジェイ&ノビィHello Yasube!
It's easy to buy in Utsunomiya 😅I tend to put it off 寫楽さん! The summer light nigori from here looks refreshing and delicious again 😋I think I'll get it after a long time 🤗. ヤスベェGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
It's a common thing in the sake world to be put off if it's easy to buy 🤣.
But it's a bit different from the usual 寫楽さん because it's only light nigori, so please give it a try😇 バウムTonight was also the first issue of the series🍶 "Zenkichi".
I brought this bottle without any information or preconceptions. I was looking forward to opening the bottle and starting from the aroma...
The aroma is not that strong and dry 😅⁉️😅
And then a sip 🍶.
It's a little dry and refreshing.
This is perfect for a meal 😋.
The aftertaste is also very spicy, and it disappears with a lingering aftertaste.
I was curious and anxious about this bottle because it is a rarely seen brewery, and I had a lot of feelings about it. ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpic 88
While yesterday's new Koei Kiku, today's is the Snow ⭐️ Crescent that we've had many times, but it's a little different 🤣.
Actually, this one was made in May 2023 and aged for more than 2 years below freezing by a liquor store in Kochira before being sold😇.
It has the mellowness of any Koeikiku sake I know 😀.
It's less like Koueikiku, but it's still a mellow and delicious sake 😀.
I guess it depends on your taste, but it was delicious to see a different expression of Koei-Kiku 😇. Nao888Good morning, Yasbaye 🌞You were aging at the right end of the fridge 🤤I went through it thinking it was too early to touch the aging process, but it looks mellow and delicious 🍶Mr. Kwangchiku would be a good entry point for aging 🤤. ヤスベェGood evening, Nao888 😀
Nao888, I think you have enough to try the Aged Sake Challenge 😇.
Kadoya's Aged Sake is very easy to get, so please give it a try 😀. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
We also got our first one year aged sake the other day 🤗 looking forward to the smooth taste 😋. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Aged sake is also very matured and has its own peculiar taste when it is more than 4 years old, but if it is less than 2 years old, it is easy to drink because it keeps its basic taste and becomes mellow 😇. ポンちゃんHello Yasube, 🐦.
The last Koei Kiku I drank was exactly this year this month's Snocre Yuyamanishiki 😊It was very tasty, so I'm curious to hear that it is an aged sake! What kind of mellowness! I would love to visit Kadoya💦. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
I see that you drank this sake freshly made😇.
I'm interested in the young taste since I haven't had it freshly made 😀.
Next time we get together in Osaka, let's make plans to visit a liquor store 😇. ヤスベェSummer Nigorinpik 87
I recently opened a bottle of this new sake from Koueikiku, which I was very curious about after reading many comments on Sake no Wawa😇.
As you commented, I chilled it properly and quietly turned the plastic part around the stopper gently, but at that moment the stopper blew out and I was surprised 🤣‼️
I was even more surprised when the cork blew out and the top clear liquid was safely removed. ‼️🤣
The top nose was quite mature, but in the mouth it was delicious with a strong piquancy and quiet fruity sensation.
The fresh rice flavor was also very tasty 😇.
The comparison of the top clear and the mixed one at room temperature was very impressive with the clear taste of the top clear 😇 Nao888Good evening, Yasube, 🌛I knew the cork would fly 💨I liked the acidity and sweetness too much for a summer sake 🤤I'm glad that Kouri Kiku is easy to find at Kadoya ✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Yasbay 😃.
Kouei Kiku's opening 🚀 always freaks me out😅.
Kochira's new one! I'd like to try it 😍I haven't had the chance to meet him yet🥲I still want to drink it: ‼️ ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
Sake that is refreshing and easy to drink in the summer is really nice and tasty 😇.
I'm thankful that there are so many stores that are strong in Saga sake, such as Kadoya-san's Koei-Kiku, Sake Kozo's Nabeshima, Miyanomatsu, Kibotsukuru, etc. 😇. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
It's a strange drink that the auto-stirring doesn't occur even though the cork flew out so spectacularly 🤣.
I'm sure you two will like it because of the acidity from the carbonation, so please discover it😇. ポンちゃんHi Yasubeyesan 🐦.
I can't get enough of Kouei Kiku 💦My bottle opener also jumped even though I had Kouei Kiku under control 😂.
I can't keep up with all the new ones coming out, but I'd love to have a summer nigori 🎐. ヤスベェGood evening, Pon 😀
I was a bit surprised by this summer's Koeihiku 🤣.
I always find Koei-Kiku to be a bit sour, but this sake has a strong summer sake character 😀.
This sake is a must try 😀. バウムTonight's accompaniment... "Nanbonjari" summer sake 🍶.
The image of Shichibonsenryari is dry and classic, but this is a summer sake, so you may discover something new 💡😊.
I immediately opened the bottle and smelled...
It's as dry as I imagined. And the taste... like the aroma, it's dry and a little dry. ⁉️ I didn't feel the acidity of summer sake so much.
I don't think it has the summer sake feel that I'm looking for 😅Well, it's a good sake, so I'm OK with it... 😍 ジェイ&ノビィHello Mr. Baum 😃
I'm a fan of Shichihonjari! I haven't had too many 😅I like this brand 😋If it's more of a dry summer sake, it might be our cup of tea 🤗It's on our list! バウムGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😊I guess you are a favorite type 😍But please give me a 'low' confidence level as I have a stupid tongue rating 🤣. ヤスベェWinter Nigorinpik 83
Today's sake is also from the Winter Nigorinpik, a light nigori sake from Tasake.
Actually, this sake has been aged at freezing point in our sake cellar for 6 months since I heard in a post by Sake-no-Wawa that new sake is a little bit cloudy 🤣.
I don't know what it tasted like at first, but the taste I got today after a little aging was very refreshing and the fruity acidity was very pronounced.
I don't know what it would have tasted like if I drank it right away, but after the petit-aging process, the acidic fruitiness was present and made it a very tasty sake😇. まつちよGood evening Yasbaye 🍶🍶.
Best raw ripe 😤🤣🍶. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛I drank this one in February and it was reviewed as having a good balance of sweet, tasty and sour ✨I think my rating is all over the place since it was the first time I picked up a bottle of Tasake in a 4-gouple 🤣I like the petit aging 🍶. ヤスベェHello, Matsuchiyo-san 😀
I usually don't get to the point where I can age it on my own, but this is the first time I've aged it while resisting the urge to drink it 🤣.
But if you want to age it consciously, you have to buy two bottles to know 🤣. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
I read your rave comment Nao888😇
It would have been nice to know the difference if I drank one bottle right after buying it and aged the other one😅. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
It was worth the patience to let it sit undrunk! It is my goal this year to drink tasake, so I hope to have nigori from here in winter too: ‼️ ヤスベェJay & Nobby, sorry for the late reply 🙇.
I see from your comments that you two are quite enthusiastic about Mr. Tasake😇.
Mr. Tasake is easy to find in some places and difficult to find in others, but we are lucky to be able to get it rather easily 😀. ヤスベェThe last in our series of "Nama-Shu" (aka "raw sake") to be released for drinking while it's still tasty is Jikin's Jungin Omachi Nama-Shu 😇!
I looked at the list of sake that I can buy with my points at the liquor store I frequent and found a four-pack of Jikin Toku Jun Hi-ire and a bottle of this Jikin Jungin Omachi Nama Sake...now which one should I buy 🤣.
I decided to go for the bottle I usually don't buy because I had a bottle of Toku Junsei that I had just opened in my cellar and I thought this might be my last chance to get a bottle of this season's Jijikin Nama Sake 🤣.
It was great to compare the Toku Junsei and Jungin Omachi Nama for the first time 😇.
Both are wonderfully balanced, just like Jikin-sama 😇.
However, when compared to the Jungin Omachi, I felt that the Jungin Omachi was more balanced and all the flavors were more pronounced 😀.
Kaorin preferred the Jungin Yumachi, which had a more balanced and gorgeous flavor, while I preferred the Toku Junsei, which had a more delicate and balanced flavor 🤣.
Well, I'll just say they're both delicious😅. ma-ki-Good evening, Yasube!
Here it is - the Jikin-sama drinking comparison 😍.
This is fascinating 🎵
The taste as well as the blissful aroma through the nose - I'm drooling just thinking about it 🤤.
Both are delicious and both are great 😋. Nao888Good evening, Yasubeyesan🌛What an extravagant way to compare the drinks of Jikimasama 🤤I wish I could force myself to pick up a bottle 🍶I always forget to look at the list of what I can buy with my points, so I just accumulate points 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
A bottle of Jikin has a lot of presence 😍.
I know it's delicious 😋 but I'm sad I don't have it on hand 😭.
It hasn't been seen in my house for a while 🥲I think I'll go to a liquor store where I can save points🤔. ポンちゃんHi Yasbaye 🐦.
Ohhhh a bottle of Jikkoman ✨✨✨ is a great decision because it's delicious and will be gone soon 😆 and I can only imagine, but they both look delicious 😻I want to drink them at home 😻 ヤスベェHi, ma-ki-chan!
Yes, the taste is great, but the aroma that spreads from the beginning to the end is also a quintessential Jikin-sama 😇.
Jungin Omachi Nama is a bottle, so I can enjoy it slowly for a while 😀. ヤスベェHi Nao888!
I also had a lot of points in my account at this liquor store thanks to my membership in the hanpukai 🤣.
I was a lottery winner at the Morinomiya liquor store lottery with a high probability of winning 😇. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
You guys are stocking a lot, so if the store has a point of sale system, I'm sure you'll be able to accumulate points soon 😀.
But it's going to take a long time to finish a bottle at our house, so we'll have to try our best to drink it 🤣. ヤスベェHi Pon 😀
Both of them are delicious and it's hard to choose one over the other, so it was a happy drinking comparison😇
I'm just worried that the taste will be spoiled by the time it takes to open a bottle when we compare 4 bottles side by side 😅. ヤスベェToday I walked to the Expo Park again with a bottle of sake for my walking tour😇.
Today I brought a Junmai Daiginjo Nama Watabune from Nanabonjari, which I received from the Kadoya Sake Shop's hanpukai a long time ago 😀.
I could smell the ginjo aroma, but it was a more robust and sturdy sake 😇.
I had an image of Shichibonspear as a light and dry sake, but thanks to the addition of the junmai daiginjo, it had a gorgeous fruity aroma until the middle of drinking, and from there it quickly became sharp and strong 😀 It is a dry sake, but it has the strength of a bento.
Although it is a dry sake, it went well with my bento boxed meal and was delicious 😀. マルGood evening, Mr. Yasbaye 🌒.
I was wondering if you are a Shichibon-yari? I thought so, but I see it's a hanpukai 🧐I can understand why you might be able to get away with a jun-dai even if it's dry 🤣.
I'm sure you had a tough time with the dry one, Kaorin-san. Nao888Good morning, Yasube-san 🌞I happened to get a bottle of this seven lance by chance and I remember being surprised at how easy it was to drink while still having a big bone structure 💦. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃.
In the picture, you may think you're eating lunch 🍱 on a park bench, but at a quick glance, it looks like you won't realize you're drinking sake 🍶😆. ヤスベェHi Maru 😀
I have to say that the hanpukai is not for everyone's taste, but it was the easiest to drink of the seven bottles of clear sake I've had so far 😀.
Kaorin can taste and drink my sake tasting practice sake too 🤣. かおりんHi Maru, Hello ☺️ It's a dry seven spears! It's a bit more mature than before? I think I've grown up a little bit. I think I've grown up a little, but I'm starting to like the dry taste. ヤスベェHi Nao888 😀
Hanpukai is also a fun way to expand your own range of sakes😇
I joined the Nagano sake hanpukai this year, so I'm done with the Osaka liquor store's hanpukai for now 🤣.
This Nanamizu Yari was delicious, even if it was a bit on the heavy side 😇 ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
This was Aladdin's advice to put it in a pot for sake😇.
I bring it as is to Sandesi, but I take the four-packs of sake this way 😀. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
