Mr. Nanamizu! Glad you got the shot with the beautiful scenery and the yummy looking knob 🤗.
Nice 8.5 points for your wife👍😆. Masaaki SapporoGood evening, Hirupeko! I am playing with various photos (lol). The Omine Hiyayogoshi that I drank just before had a big impact on me, so I felt it was a little too light. Masaaki SapporoGood evening, Jay & Nobby! This is the river near the fun sake shop where we stocked Nanamizu and Shihuyu today. In addition, I also took a pre-shot of Akabu, which we purchased at another liquor store.

Shupon when opened
Slightly gassy feeling
Moderate rice aroma on the top
The same aroma as the top-rise is mixed in, but it has a gorgeous green melon-like aroma, a discreet sweetness, and a firm rice flavor that spreads pizzazzily with gentle acidity, the aroma quickly fades, and the rice flavor and bitterness quickly fades away.
The aroma quickly fades away, leaving a rather refreshing impression, and it goes well with a meal or on its own.
It goes well with a meal or on its own. It went well with Tororo gohan (rice with grated yam) made with tenkasu (dregs of tempura in a bowl of rice topped with red rice) from Iwaki (Naganuma Town) and potato salad with iburigakko (a type of mushroom). Masaaki Sapporo8.5 points (Wife 8.5 points)

Shupon when opening the bottle
Moderate gassiness
Slightly sweet alcohol overtone
A faint aroma of strawberries, sweet and sourness, and mild rice flavor spreads with a chili juwak, and is mildly bitter and quickly quenches.
The sweet-sourness that comes after the fresh aroma gives a good impression. With its moderate aroma and sweetness, it can be drunk refreshingly in the hot summer, and is delicious with a meal or on its own.
Sapporo is still experiencing days with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, and the garko we meet is still open-mouthed and stupid.
The QR code quiz was difficult for both the beginner and advanced levels, and I correctly answered two beginner questions and three advanced questions (actually two questions because I knew the answers to the beginner questions). It was better to say that I got it right.
It went well with grilled hokke, yuba (bean curd) tofu, and ham salad.
It went well with the pork wrapped with shishito peppers from the veranda with Oba ponzu sauce from the veranda, and potato salad with smoked gakko. Masaaki Sapporo8 → 8.5 points (wife: 7.5 points)

Paired well with Mac's Hawaiian Burgers, Zesty Potato & Beef Creamy Jalapeño (added a mini size of Veranda habanero because it wasn't too spicy), Cheese Loco Moco, Garlic Shrimp, and Veranda Fruit Tomatoes. ひるぺこGood evening, Masaaki Sapporo. There it is! Moai Statue😆Are we on Easter Island after all🗿? Hawaii 🌺? Sado Island? Hokkaido? Masaaki SapporoGood evening, Hirupeko! It takes about 30 minutes by car from the center of Sapporo 😁I had taken a pre-shot and opened the bottle today 🍶. ひるぺこThe powerful brush strokes of Itaru look great on Moyai 🤩I guess the Itami Sake Brewery was surprised to see the collaboration between Moyai and Itaru 😆. ポンちゃんGood morning, Masaaki Sapporo!
I see you like spicy 😳Additional habanero is killing me😱and it goes well with supreme 😳‼️ ジェイ&ノビィHi Masaaki Sapporo 😃
I googled Moai statues in Hokkaido 🗿😳 and found out that there are other cemeteries with stone hedges and such 🤗.
Interesting to see how you match the mac with the classical feeling 😁. Masaaki SapporoHi Jay & Nobby! It's a strange place with a strange atmosphere, it's recently become a tourist attraction, and it looks like it will soon be visited by tourist bus tours from outside of the country 😅The pairings here are always appropriate, I just like to drink along with the pairings 😁. Masaaki SapporoHi Pon-chan! I like spicy food relatively, but I finished the Peyoung's Hell Spicy, but it was at a spicy level that I never want to eat again 😱.
My wife gave up after one bite 😁.
I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I finished the Peyoung's Hell Spicy, but it was at the level of spicy that I never want to eat again 😱My wife gave up after one bite 😁. ぶんずSake party, the third bottle is Asahiran from Tobiaran
A sweet switch from choi-dry tasake
Low alcohol, not unlike a sake made from a traditional sake brewer's yeast
Smooth taste and sweet texture
It also goes down your throat smoothly!
(Oh no, these three bottles are too delicious!
The pace is too fast, and they are also going around too fast)
It was a very satisfying third bottle.

It is mellow and sweet, but the clean acidity and bitterness make it easy to drink, and it is delicious with a meal or as a stand-alone wine.
It goes well with a bowl of rice topped with garlic sprouts and pork, a gift from my wife's family in Nagasaki, and corn from a farmer in Eniwa (halfway between Sapporo and Chitose).
It also went well with dried horse mackerel and eggplant tataki from the veranda.
The pallet-shaped coasters I had made in the past were getting old, so I made three different widths after a long time. 遥瑛チチHi Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
How nice to hear that your wife is from Nagasaki ❗️
Hiran is a beautiful sake worth chasing 👍.
Please stop by Hakata when you go back to your hometown 👋. Masaaki SapporoGood evening, Haruei Chichi! My wife worked in Fukuoka as soon as she qualified at school, so she is a basic Hakata-ben (lol). However, I think she is not scoring well with the breweries in her hometown. Whenever I go back to Nagasaki, I always take the bullet train from Fukuoka airport. Koeigiku月光 天然乳酸菌仕込み 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸生酛原酒生酒無濾過 Masaaki Sapporo8.5 points(Wife 8.5 points)

Slightly pineapple-like top notes with a hint of banana.
The mild aroma, firm rice flavor, and moderate sweetness on the first sip are spread out with lactic acidity, and the bitterness leaves the rice flavor while it finishes quickly.
It has a thick flavor with a noticeable umami, but the acidity and gaseous bitterness make it relatively refreshing to drink, and it goes well with a meal or on its own.
After the second day, the umami and the aroma of rice increase, giving it a mellow and mellow impression.
It went well with my wife's Bolognese with mushrooms.
It went well with beefsteak, mozuku vinegar, and grilled verandah Nanban.
It went well with eel bowl and chilled tofu. ShichisuiExciting Series Chapter.3 美山錦純米吟醸生酒無濾過 ぶんずBountiful rice paddies and a glorious sunset on the back

Moderate gassiness
Pineapple-like topping
The same fruity aroma as the top-runner, full sweetness and rice flavor, with soft acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits, spreads out in a sizzle and is quickly quenched by a slight bitterness.
Although the sweetness is a little noticeable, it is mellow and well-balanced, and goes well with a meal, but is also delicious on its own.
On the second day, the umami bitterness increased and the balance became even better.
The! DASH! (I couldn't find fresh seaweed, so I substituted fresh seaweed).

Strong gassy feeling
Red apple-like top
The same fruity aroma, slight sweetness, and firm rice flavor as on the first sip, with a refreshing grapefruit-like acidity that spreads quickly and is quickly quenched by a rather firm bitterness.
Although the rice flavor is strong, the sweetness is moderate, and the bitterness and strong carbonation give it a refreshing impression. The aroma is not strong, so it goes well with a meal, but it is also delicious on its own.
Even after the third day, when the gaseous sensation weakens, it is still well-balanced and deeply delicious.

The sake was so good that it changed my image of sake in Hokkaido. lol Like Tasake's Comet, the quality of sake depends on the brewer. The spicy buffalo chicken was also tangy and delicious!
