Timeline
shinsaku3Today is mild, so we had our last ⁉️ balcony drink of the year 🍶😃 before it gets cold.
We had a sake recommended by the liquor store 🍶 here in Gunma.
It was my first time to try it!
According to the liquor store's description, it's "a little sweet" 👍.
It's pretty good 👍
I didn't feel any sweetness, but it was mildly dry 🍶🍶.
That's how I imagine it 🍶.
It starts off with a spiciness with the umami of the rice behind it, and the lingering taste is astringent and bitter👍.
That's the impression I got 😃.
Pairing impression was done by Pekho 😅
Here is my personal impression 😅

Oh! It's you, Luca 😃‼️ Congratulations on your first drink ㊗️ 🎉Drinking on the balcony in the autumn sunshine looks so nice 😊The sunset in the background is also nice 😊... shinsaku3Good evening, chika 😃.
It was quite strange and dry, but quite tasty😃. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😊
I emptied a bottle of Huahiyo, but it was quite enjoyable as it was a completely different strain 😊.
Drinking on the balcony, the evening got stone cold and we had to withdraw 😅. 
shinsaku3Pheho-san reserved for me a bottle of Sakasui no Dawn and I had it right away 😃.
According to the description
"The first Junmai Daiginjo of the year, freshly squeezed at midnight and delivered on the same day, this is a special once-a-year sake" 👍.
Delicious 😋.
Light clear dry type
I have the impression that even though it is dry, it is not that dry.
I can't really taste the rice taste.
Easy to drink 😋👍

Here it is! I learned about it at Sake no Wa after I drank Koshi for the first time and I've been curious about it for a long time but haven't had it yet 🥲I have to try the clear dry type 😋. shinsaku3Good evening chika 😃.
Yes😃, for a dry one, it went Swiss 😅. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
You should definitely try it 😃.
It's a bit light, but I think you will like it 😃. 
shinsaku3I got my first Koshi 😃.
Pekho-san bought it for me: ☺️
She said she pre-ordered the sake nouveau "Sakai no Dawn" from the same brewery and this was a preview for it 😅.
According to the description
The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel a shock like a thunderclap. The fresh and gorgeous aroma, body, and tingling gas sensation are kept in the refrigerator at -5°C until autumn, resulting in a gentle, angular taste👍.
Delicious 😋.
It is indeed crisp on the palate, but as the description says, it is not too sharp and angular, with a nice dry taste that is full-bodied but not heavy 👍.

I didn't expect you to be drinking Shakai right now. ⁉️ ジェイ&ノビィHi shinsaku3 😃
Congrats on the 20 days Koshi-san ㊗️ on your prep 🎉 It's delicious 😋.
I'm also looking forward to the dawn of the real Sakai 😃. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😊
Kouko, it was delicious 😋.
It was a new discovery, a nice encounter 😋. じゅにちThis sake is made by the Igarashi Sake Brewery in Hanno City, Saitama. It is brewed with sake rice produced in Saitama Prefecture called "sake musashi. In the mouth, it has a juicy flavor with a hint of sweetness and slight bitterness, while the alcohol content can be felt. The sharpness is very good. 
ぺっほBlack beef recommended by the owner of our favorite sushi restaurant. We found an unfiltered draft at our usual liquor store 😍18 degrees, so we must be prepared 💪 and today, sushi 🍣‼️
The first sip is delicious! It's good from the first sip. ❤️It's robust, firm, yet gorgeous and sharp. ‼️ I don't know what it is, but I've never been so impressed ✨The flavor is well balanced, not sharp in any way, but never light and with a strong presence. The temperature changes, and a sense of maturity also comes out! I'm sure this sake would look great on a more robust ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant) plate 💖.
Today at our house, we had O-toro medium fatty tuna, squid nigiri, and octopus sashimi. We welcomed Mr. Kurogyu with sea bream chikuwa isobe-age, mekabu and chilled tofu. ‼️ It went perfectly with soy sauce and other Japanese flavors. Since it's called beef, I wonder how it would be for steak? I'd like to try it again 🤫 if I can find fresh Mr. Kurogyu again. ‼️Thanks for the delicious sake. ❤️
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕. ジャイヴGood evening, Mr. Pekho 🌛.
The first time I drank Wakayama sake before was with "Kurogyu" of the same spec 🥰.
Wakayama/Kushimoto town is famous for [tuna], so I think it goes well with sushi, but I think it would go well with beef too!
Please try it with Wakayama's brand beef✨! ぺっほHi Jive ❤️ Hi ‼️ Black Cow, we had the same one ✨It was really good 😍I was impressed that the second day was as good as the first. Wakayama brand beef🐃That would be a nice pairing 😋. 
shinsaku3Overall 9 (out of 10)
I had this at a sushi restaurant I go to a few times a year.
The black beef was delicious!
I found it at a liquor store I frequent and bought it 💰.
The owner of the sushi restaurant said it is his personal favorite sake.
I had it with sushi 😃.
It doesn't have any of the sweet and savory elements I like, but it's delicious 😋.
Hard, clear, contoured and dry.
Nothing stands out, it is highly balanced in areas other than sweet and umami.
No smell of alcohol even though it is about 19 degrees Celsius.
(although you will get drunk very quickly 😅).
It is the twin of Ohroku's lineage.
I'm curious about other types of Kurogyu 🧐.
I had it chilled.

I've not had a drink in a while, but I'm planning a trip to Wakayama and am checking to see if I can stock up on other sakes there ✨.
I haven't had it in a while, but I'm planning a trip to Wakayama and am checking to see if I can stock up on it with other sakes there ✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, shinsaku3😃!
Black Beef 🐃 at Sushi Restaurant 🍣! Definitely sounds delicious 😋 We haven't had it but it was our next Wakayama sake candidate 🤗. shinsaku3Good morning, Gyve 😃.
The general is hard looking too 🤣 so
I thought it wouldn't be a sweet and savory type before I drank it 😅.
I like your Wakayama trip ❗️
I heard that most of the beef shipped within the prefecture is black beef, so I'm sure you'll be able to find some 😃. shinsaku3Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It is indeed a sake that goes very well with sushi 🍣🍶.
It also matches the flavor of wasabi👍.
If you come across it, please give it a try 😃.
We're thinking of going back to buy some 😅

I succeeded in catching stag beetles last year, but not rhinoceros beetles, so I thought next year will be the year! I was hoping for next year😅.
And today, Mr. Pekho succeeded in capturing a beetle: ㊗️
I got it as soon as possible😃.
Mmmm, tasty 😳
Soupy refreshing 👍
I think it's probably best if you cool it down and sip it 🥤 in the middle of summer 😃👍.
Maybe a little too early 😅
I had it chilled.

I'm glad you succeeded in catching the rhinoceros beetle, Peckho. ❗️ It's not easy to get them because they're so popular 😆Soupy and refreshing ones are good for summer 👍I wonder if I can catch them too 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, shinsaku3 😃.
You all are very quick to make your first move! Congratulations on capturing the rhinoceros beetle 🌈㊗️ 🎉I think it's good to get ahead of the season ‼️ 🤗We're going to catch it this weekend too 🤗. shinsaku3Good evening, Hinahana mama 😃.
Yes😃we were lucky enough to catch it 🪲.
It's a little early for me to get it, I should have waited until the height of summer ☀️ 😅.
I wish you the best of luck 🙏🪲. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
My initial response was quick, but I couldn't resist and I'm getting it faster too 😅.
I wonder if there will be a stag beetle soon 🧐.

I received this Amezure when I checked in at 222 Zoro before.
I wanted to drink it again after a long time, but Pekho-san found it at a liquor store at the right time 💡.
It's delicious 😋.
My previous impression is as follows
The first taste is a soft sweetness and umami of rice with some acidity, which spreads on the palate and slowly closes with a slight increase in astringency.
It's not sharp, but I don't feel any dullness at all.
I got the same impression this time 😋👍.
I enjoyed it chilled.

(5 is the maximum) ひなはなママGood evening, shinsaku3😄Rainfall, it's delicious ❗️ I remember this white one was milky after drinking it last year ☺️ I like the apple acid 77 better ❣️ you can try the apple acid 77 if you like 😙 Fusano KankikuOCEAN 99 Series 凪 - Spring Misty - うすにごり無濾過生原酒原酒生酒無濾過にごり酒 
flos_lingua_estKangiku is a sake brewery where all the sakes are seasonal and limited edition. That's why I don't know which one to drink lol.
I bought it when I happened to see it introduced on a YouTube channel as a recommendation for spring sake.
The aroma is rumney and apple...but it's not a cider either. It is a very popular fruity type with an additional pineapple aroma when you include it.
Despite its gorgeous aroma, it is surprisingly dry and smooth on the palate. I personally prefer this one because it is drier than you would expect from just the supernatant... lol...
When mixed with the tailings, the sweetness and umami come out and become well-balanced. This is the original form... This one seems to be more popular than the supernatant only.
Personally, I think it is best to finish it as soon as possible. 3 days is not bad, but the best condition for this sake to be at its best is 2 days. After that, I felt it was sweeter and had more of a cloying taste, so I guess many people would rather drink it that way. In general, it was very tasty! Kangiku is always great, no matter when I drink it... 
ぺっほI was curious about the Tamagawa Ice Breaker🧊💖 I found it! It was accompanied by a comment😋 from Mr. Phillip, the toji, that you should float the ice on it and enjoy the wind chime-like sound and the rich changes that the ice shows as it melts!
I thought 🤨 that it must not be too sweet since it was in Kyoto, so today we started the feast with boiled fish, somen noodles, snap pea and maitake mushroom tempura, and egg tofu 🎉!
Penguin, it's not sweet! No sourness either! The aroma is of rice, and maybe a hint of bitterness? Astringent? The aroma lingers in the nostrils, reminding me of gin (I don't know much about gin 🤫). As the ice melts and the alcohol fades, a slight sweetness emerges 💕.
I've had it with boiled fish, and tempura in tempura sauce. It really goes well together ‼️ I'm crying tears of joy 🥹🥺 because I feel like I haven't had a pairing in a long time.
Our house, so far, is mostly hors d'oeuvres, so we had a little grilled meat after this 🤣It also goes well with meat👍.
I have a feeling I'm going to be addicted this summer 🥰.
Impressions on the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕. ひなはなママGood evening, Mr. Pekho😄
Penguin🐧, not sweet not sour not spicy ‼️ Oops surprise 🫢I thought it was sweet 😆 but if Peckho's pairing is inspiring, I'll be happy too ❣️ nice penguin🐧👍 ぺっほHinaHanaMamaSan❤️Good morning 😊Yu see, last night we toasted to the afterglow of HinaHanaMamaSan and Papa's happiness💕.
Penguin with ice is a must! ジェイ&ノビィHi Pekho 😃
We who are addicted to Jin may be destined to taste the gin 😆 I would like to get it and enjoy it with meat 👍. ぺっほJay & Nobby ❤️ Good evening! I'm drinking today 🥰I'm Jin, our generation's addict, and I'm going to dive into the destiny of gin with this momentum 💪🔥If you have any recommendations for a first gin for home drinking only, please let me know💓 ポンちゃんHi Pekho 🐦.
Congratulations on your first icebreaker 🎉It rocks! A lukewarm bottle of this is also sweet and tasty, so you can keep a bottle and enjoy it in winter 😉.
but I'm the one who forgets 😂. ぺっほPonchanchan❤️ glad to share the deliciousness of the rocks~‼️ I feel like I've found a new way to enjoy it❣️ since summer is still to come, I'd like to have a few bottles for summer, for fall, and for lukewarm in winter 😆 Do you think they still sell it? Don't forget to GO❗️

Mr. Pekho was curious about this sake 😃.
This is my first time to try this sake!
According to the description
The concept is to enjoy it with ice.
A cool sound like a wind chime played when the ice touches the glass.
Aroma and flavor that changes richly as the ice melts until the end" 🧐.
It is said to be the first sake brewed by a foreigner, Mr. Philip Harper.
Delicious 😋.
Super Dry‼️🎐
That's the image I have of it.
It's not sweet and tasty, but it's not dry either.
It has a unique flavor that somehow reminds me of gin👍
It's not a lively summer, but a quiet summer enjoyment while enjoying the changing flavors as the ice melts.
I had such an impression 🍶.
I enjoyed it chilled with ice on top 😃.

We are also interested in this one, but have not had it yet 🥲It looks like you can drink it on the rocks 🧊 and enjoy it in a relaxed way 🤗. shinsaku3Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I recommend this drink for what it's worth😃.
It's like you can drink it in a bar while slowly passing around a glass with ice 🧊 floating 😅. 
ぺっほFinally, the Sentori ceremony is about to start 🎉!
Yesterday, April 20, my husband got on the podium at an off-road motorcycle race for the first time in a long time, so the drinking couple from Saitama celebrated with a big feast on a weekday 🎊.
We have muscle aches and pains and other physical fatigue, but it's times like this that we should celebrate. ❣️
We started with sushi 🩷, then pancakes with sakura shrimps, pancetta and leeks, mozzarella salad, salted squid, and tako-wawa. We toasted 🥂 with an assortment of delicious food 🥰Jay & Nobby's recommendation, Dokuhya Sake, which is definitely amazingly delicious ❣️ inadvertently being a sparkling wine? I spilled it like a champagne fight 💦.
Since it's a sparkling wine, I think it's most often served in toasts, but I actually highly recommend reappearing for dessert❤️🍰It was exquisitely delicious with today's dessert baumkuchen 😋.
Last night the race was over and we had to travel 800 km from Hiroshima, the race venue, to Saitama, so we celebrated today, the next day. ❤️ Next race is in Nagano in May, good luck again~! Hope you can stop by the sake brewery too 🤭.
The party was a lot of fun and we opened the second bottle of sake. To be continued: 。。。。。
The impression of the sake by itself is by shinsaku3 💕. ma-ki-Good evening, Mr. Pekho!
Congratulations to shinsaku3 for winning the off-road bike prize 🎉!
Pekho-san's cooking and Senkou-san's ceremony will make even a couple of drunkards in Saitama love Tochigi 😁✨. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Pheho 😃.
You two are full of vitality 🚙 traveling 800 km from Hiroshima bike 🏍️ to the prize ㊗️ ‼️
The Sentori Sanshiki is perfect for the next day's toast 🥂🤗You're right, we can enjoy the "Dokuhya~" twice, before and after the meal 😙. ポンちゃんHi Pheho 🐦.
I have to congratulate you on this one 😆👍✨Congratulations 🎉!
Chijimi and senkyo, when you say it, it seems to go well together 😊👍It's always amazing that you can come up with such an idea! ぺっほThank you ma-ki-❤️❣️ for overcoming the jinx and winning the prize, I was happy too 🙌 I'm always a drinker, but this time we were an even more celebratory drinking couple 🤣I'm glad we saved the ceremony until today 🥰! ぺっほJay & Nobby❤️ love Tochigi & Saitama and congratulate you 🎊
Yes, the endurance race for another 800km after the race is really tough........ The pain is getting harder and harder every year 💦🤣I have no other choice but to drink 🔥. ぺっほThank you Ponchan ❤️ 🎊Thanks for the nice pairing of the pancake and the sengkyo of schwatdohya 👍I recently made pizza and now I made pancakes and thought hmmm each country 🇮🇹🇰🇷 has a similar style of flour ➕ ingredients 🤣.
