It's my first baseball drink of the year ⚾This is my second time to watch the game (it was rained out once).
I bought it because I was curious about the brewer's yeast called Hanbei.
It's green and at first I thought it was a green tea high or something 😅.
It comes in a plastic bottle with a lid that can be used as a sake cup. It's perfect for a drinking cup 🚃.
It has a classic but gentle sweet taste with a stronger alcohol taste in the second half. I don't dislike it 😋.
After drinking a variety of sake cups at the baseball game, I thought that many of the major makers have a better taste for honjozo and regular sake with alcohol rather than junmai (pure rice).
Especially Hakusetsu and Kiku-Masamune.
I think Junmai is more hit or miss 🤔.
The game took a dramatic turn at the end!
I think it was the most exciting one ever 😆.
Happy to see Noguchi's first hit and first run scored 😊.
Good evening, bouken 🦉.
You won, didn't you? KBS did a great job in the midst of the many broadcasts of the gubernatorial election 🤣.
This PET bottle is very innovative 😳It is a PET bottle and comes with a gulp 😆It is very convenient to carry and is indeed a major company 👍.
bouken Good morning ☀︎
I can certainly understand the theory that major breweries can drink surprisingly well with honjozo or regular sake 💡.
Hanshin has not been taking chances lately, so I'm always on the edge of my seat 👀.
Mr. Bouken.
Good morning...
Oh, wow! A baseball game ⚾ and also the holy place Koshien!
I used to go to high school baseball games in the summer.
Watching a baseball game is good because you can drink slowly 😁Sakkar can't take his eyes off the ball 💦.
Good evening, Ponchan.
KBS also broadcasted the game until the end 😳
The AEON near the stadium had PET bottles of chu-hi and pouches of wine, so there was a good selection for people to bring in to the stadium 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee 😃.
I'm convinced by Kikumasamune and now Shochiku Ume ✨.
We're not getting any HRs and we're basically hitting poorly 💦.
We've won a lot of games since this one, but there have been a lot of close calls 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Koizo😃.
I like Kyocera with air-conditioning, but I really like the one without a roof 😆👍👍.
I've never been to a high school baseball game 😅.
I've never been to a high school baseball game 😅.
I'm going to accompany my seniors and boss to drink 🍶 in the Koshien🐯 light stand 🏟️.
The second drink is a Kikumasagin cup.
Kikumasagin is an alsobeerated, freshly stored sake.
It is a brilliant sake that was twice named Great Value Champion Sake at IWC 2019 and 2023 🍶.
I can feel a hint of a slightly sweet and fruity aroma, but I still don't feel much of the Uetatekoso.
Well, it's outdoors😅.
The texture is easy to get used to.
The sweetness like juice and fructose spreads quickly and lightly, and the flavor is clear and flat.
There is no acidity stimulation at all, just an accent that brings a sweet juice taste.
There is also a characteristic grain taste after the mid-palate. It is not that noticeable if you don't look for it.
It is more smooth and fruity than Kikumasakin, like a juice of about 10% fruit juice.
It seems to be easy to drink, even for those who don't drink sake regularly.
And it's only around 200 yen for 180ml 😳.
If college students start with this kind of sake, they may have less prejudice against sake 🤔.
Great value indeed!
Thank you for the treat 🍶.
As for the game... I left 🏟️ early while consoling my senpai and boss😅
Aladdin, good evening 😃I remember drinking this Ginpak before and being very surprised. ‼️ This sake is too cosy, if you don't care about it, you'll be fine with it, it's a horrible one.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
I was curious to try it because of its reputation: ☺️
For those of us who have trouble drinking a variety of liquors or hitting a liquor we don't like, this could be the very "good all the time" liquor 🤔.
I came to Koshien to hang out with my senior and boss, who are avid Torakichi🐯 fans at work: 🏟️
I'm not a 🐯 fan, but decided it was a good idea since it was an exchange game.
Koshien is officially free to bring in alcohol, except bottles and cans, which is rare nowadays😳.
I took the opportunity to bring two paper cups of alcohol.
First, the Kikumasakin cup 🍶.
Kikumasakin is a junmai sake.
This sake is the pride of the local Kobe-based Kikumasakin Sake Brewery.
It looks like it was selected as a Great Value Sake at this year's IWC 2024!
We toasted 🍻 with draft beer to moisten our throats before serving 😄.
It was outside, and I couldn't really tell what the top-tasting aroma was.
Somehow it seems to have a slightly sweet soft aroma.
Smooth and light texture on the palate.
A juice-like fruity sweet flavor comes in all the way, and it cuts off smoothly with a slight refreshing acidity.
There is a slightly characteristic complexity after the mid-palate, like the remnants of grain.
However, the flavor is very juice-like and flows smoothly to begin with, so the complexity does not bother me that much.
At less than 250 yen for 180 ml, it is easy to carry and cost-effective without the hassle of temperature control, etc.
Great value indeed 😄.
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
I like to watch baseball games 🏟️ 🤗I thought baseball was beer 🍺, but paper cup liquor 🍶 besides bottles and cans is a great blind spot 👍Thanks for the reference 👋
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's been quite a while since I've been to a baseball game: ⚾️
The game was not 🐯exciting😅 but it was very nice to drink beer🍺 and sake🍶 in an open air stadium ☺️
Today, Kaorin and I are going out for the first time in a while 😀.
Our destination was... Koshien 😀.
Today was the Nada Gogo brewery opening event 😀.
I thought it would be nice to open a brewery after being sick, but I thought it would be just like our family 😀.
The event was from 11am to 4pm, so I thought it would be a little bit empty around 2pm, but even at this time of the day it was packed😅.
And one of the things I was looking for, a sake lees soup drinking contest, was already sold out🤣.
They were also holding a fundraiser to support sake breweries in the Hokuriku region, so I donated for a four-pack of sake 😀.
Unfortunately, I tried to compare sake with those I don't usually drink 😀.
I chose Hamafukutsuru, Chiyodaya, Tokuwaka and Senzuke.
I was especially happy to be able to compare 3 different types of sake, as I have always wanted to try Senzuke.
I gave up on buying it because I don't have any room in my fridge at all right now, but it became a sake I want to take home soon 😀.
They were also holding a donation campaign for the sake breweries in the Hokuriku region, so I donated a four-pack of sake bottles 😀.
If I'm going to donate anyway, it's better to know exactly how it will be used 😀.
Good evening, Yasbay and Kaorin 😃.
Looks like there was a great turnout 😳
I think I've never had anything other than Senzuke 🤔I think one of the best things about brewery openings is that you can compare drinks you don't get to drink 😊and donate sake barrels 👍.
Good evening, Yasube and Kaorin 🦉.
It's been a while since we went out together and had a sake event 😆 I'm glad you had a good time! Still, that's a great crowd 😳You had a great day with the relief donations 👍.
Good morning, Yasbay & Kaorin 😃.
A brewery opening event to celebrate your good health! It's the right thing to do for the people of Sakegawa 😁 and a tasting that will lead to the next one 👍.
Donating money for those who can't buy the full stock is a great idea 🥹.
Good morning Yasbaye 😃
Kaorin-san, are you going to a brewery opening to celebrate your recovery 😳⁉️ you are as active as ever😊I don't like crowded places so I don't go to many events... 😅I hope your donation will help the recovery 👍‼️
Hi Aladdin 😀
I was surprised by the huge turnout 🤣.
I've been walking around Nada with my wife a few times and each time we've tasted at one of the breweries, but I'm glad Senzuke no Izumi Brewery doesn't do brewery tastings 😀.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
There was a huge crowd, from children to elderly people...I can't believe kids were opening the kurabiraki 😅.
As Pon-chan said, Senzuke and most of the breweries are recovering from the Hanshin earthquake, so please visit Hokuriku too: ‼️
Hi, Koyan 😀
I see you were there too 😀
Senzuke-san has not opened any warehouse at all and has no direct sales store, so this was a good chance for me to visit 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
It's been a while since I've been out and about with the wife and it was fun 😀.
I wanted to buy some Nada Gogo sake to take home, but I need to reduce my inventory to half so I can drink and join in the cheering 😭
Hi Maru 😀
It was a great crowd and full of enthusiasm 😀.
I thought that if we were going to donate the same money, it would surely reach the breweries in Hokuriku if it was here... I'll start drinking and cheering when my fridge is a little more empty 😅.
Hi Rafa papa!
It was my first time to attend a brewery open house, so I was a bit naive and didn't expect so many people to show up 🤣.
I'm sure Nada's brewery will make good use of the donations!
Mr. Yasbay. I am going back from the flax cat. Senzuke-san, that's good. I hope you will recover from the Hanshin earthquake and that Hokuriku will surely follow.
WOM, thanks for your help too 😀.
Nada's sake breweries have all recovered from the earthquake and are now able to hold such large openings again, so I'm sure Hokuriku will be able to do the same 😀.
It seems like watching a baseball game and drinking a cup of sake is becoming a regular event 🙄.
I picked up some at the sake section of Yodobashi Umeda.
There were 2 kinds of sake in paper cups, Shibaotan, Shiraotan and Kamito, and I chose Shibaotan because Shiraotan had added sugar and Kamito was old.
It has a classic taste, but it has a sourness that makes it easier to drink than I expected 😋.
Don't ask me the result of the match 😇
Good evening.
Is there a Kamito Cup?
I'm glad the date is old.
I must go buy some for baseball.
Ballpark sake is important to me too, and I must research paper cups!
Hello bouken, ☀️
Yesterday was a pity 😱I have an image of weak exchange games 😅Yodobashi, it's interesting that they have cups of sake that are not from Kansai 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌠.
I was almost going to give you a heartless field goal because I was somewhat ready by the 9th inning 🙄 Nah, that's a minus 🤣.
Good evening, Ao-chan 😃
I've been worried about the one-point difference since the game keeps getting reversed in the 9th inning, but my fears were right on target 😱.
I somehow thought it would be something other than Hanshin, but I guess it's the G party 🙄.
Good evening, Shinjo-san 😀
I know the date is old but it was around the end of last year so it might not be a big deal 😁.
I am considering buying a Masumi cup at Seijo Ishii next 🤔.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😊
I have the impression that the Central League is generally weak in exchange games 🤔.
The only paper cup brewery in Kansai was Shirayuki 😢.
There were some packs and tamanohikari, but the quantity was too much for a baseball game 😅.
Shiraaaaayyyy.
Hey ❗️
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
If you're getting soaked...
Aaaaaaahhhh‼️
Borrowed from Manachie😙.
I bought some snowflakes just to do this 🤣.
I've had this idea in my head since everyone was talking about powdered snow, but the timing was off and it was out of season😅.
I really wanted to do it in the winter with a glass of Hakusetsu Nigori Sake 🙄.
It has a stronger oak aroma than Kiku-Masamune, but Shirayuki has a darker, more umami flavor and is more drinkable.
It seems that the specs of the same Hakusetsu barrel sake are different between the cup and the 4-gouple bottle, the 4-gouple bottle looks spicier and has a higher alcohol content.
This is the second time this year, and the second time this month, that I have been to Koshien.
We won the game, and I was glad to see Nomi and Yoshinobu Takahashi go at it before the game 😊.
The first pitch was thrown by actress Souko Fujima.
Good evening, bouken🌙
I couldn't help but laugh 🤣I'm glad you were able to show us your story that you've been warming up to since winter 🤣👍.
I'm glad Hanshin won👍It's scary how strong they are!
Good evening, bouken! (^○^)
Well, you bought this brand in order to borrow Manachie's, didn't you?
Yes, let's choose the season next time (lol).
I'm glad you were able to see so many things at the Koshien stadium.
Good evening, bouken preacher 🌆.
Stocking up for a story, I'm afraid 😆.
The traditional game at Koshien is very exciting ❗️
I think I'll try watching a baseball game and drinking sake 🍶 too!
Good morning, bouken 😃
Next time I want to hear them sing live... 🤣I haven't been to a baseball game for a while... I used to go to Korakuen stadium after school when I was in junior high 😅I guess you don't know about Korakuen ⚾️
Hello!
Hanshin is in a bad way!
I think the Hawks are going to ask for Otake back!
This sake looks very attractive!
I'll buy it when I see a four-pack!
bouken, good morning 😃I got a giggle out of you 💦I look forward to the day you show us again with a nigori 😁You have a great range of defense in baseball and soccer ✨.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
I was going to store it away but I was able to make it happen by watching a baseball game 🤣It's going so well I'm afraid of what comes after 🙀.
Good evening, Mr. Kumagai.
I didn't really want to drink Shirayuki, I just bought it for the story 😅.
I'm enjoying the various events and plans on Saturdays and Sundays ⚾.
Ace, good evening 😊.
I tried to think of something other than snow white but I couldn't think of anything😅.
If you find any snowflakes, please give it a try 🤣.
Hi Manta, good evening 😊.
It's so strong it's scary😅I'm sure you'll have a hard time in the summer 💦.
I'm sure you'll have a hard time in the summer 💦.
Good evening, Mr. Chichi😃.
The Giants game is still very exciting 🤗
I recommend cheap sake since you can't taste it 🤣.
I'd like to try the train drinking that Chichi did 🚄.
Good evening, Rafa 😃.
Singing live? I won't play that trick 🤣Would you like to go to karaoke at the after-party🤣Are you a city girl that you can go to Korakuen after school 😳?
Good evening, Mr. Shinjo😊.
If he had stayed with the Hawks, he would have been a dead man and would not have been able to play...
Kajiya is also a good player, and I'm thankful for that 😆 I'm sure you can find a 4-game match at Kansai Supermarket or Aeon if you look for it.
Good evening Mr. Wakata😃.
I'll think about it when I find nigori in winter 🤣.
I've always been more of a soccer fan than a baseball fan, but I don't know anyone around me who likes J-League, so I pretend to be a baseball fan 🙄.
Gentle drinking and gentle sweetness. It's rude to say it was unexpected, but it was delicious.
It seems to be once-fired, so I wonder if it is freshly stored.
When I drink at a baseball game, I feel that whatever I drink tastes good (except for Honmori), so I feel it would be a waste if I bring a good sake with me.
Good morning, bouken preacher😃!
Isn't it great to be able to bring your own sake in the holy place Koshien ❗️
But maybe it's not the time to get too excited about watching a baseball game to enjoy it 😆.
Good morning, bouken: ☀️
Packed sake from Aichi is very rare in Kansai 😳‼️
Yes, you may be surprised when you drink the same sake at home! I thought it didn't taste like this 🤣.
Hi bouken 😃
Sake and watching a baseball game, that too at Koshien is a luxury ✨I would love to buy a lot of beer from the beer vendor and pay my tribute 😍.
Hi...
I'm a dome stadium, so the deliciousness is discounted by 3
Koshien is nice, isn't it?
I'm not going to drink at a high school baseball game in the daytime in midsummer, but now is the best time!
Hi Chichi 😃
As long as it's not a can, you can bring it in with impunity 😁.
I thought about bringing a can of Tasake, but I'm glad I didn't because I'm sure it would be empty in an instant 🤣.
Hello Pon-chan ☔.
I don't think I've seen this place very often, but they used to run commercials and it's a big brewery? My father used to drink Onikoroshi from this brewery😅.
I think it's similar to the way you buy something after drinking it at a tasting 🤔. I think it's similar to the way you buy something after tasting it 🤔.
Hello Noodle Sake King ☔.
Sake is also coming to sell but it's expensive 🤣Do you watch baseball games and watch the sellers 🤣Contribute to the newcomers and make them No.1 👍What kind of nurturing game is this? 🤣
Shinjou-san, this is my day 😊.
Dome without rain wet is nice, but it's still nice to see the sky 😁.
I think if you bring a water bottle with you to the high school baseball game, they won't know 😆.
This is the fourth Koshien this year.
The last time was Nihonmori, but this time it was the famous Kiyosu Cherry Blossom.
Personally, I find it sweeter and easier to drink than Nihon Zakari.
bouken, the Central League is a solo league, but the 2nd to 5th place are almost side by side🤣But the 2nd place is in the 40% winning percentage range, which is not good🤣.
Good morning Ane 🌄.
I'm planning to go in June and July too 😅.
I'm not sure if it's because of my grades and the Corona disaster, but on a weekday, there were relatively many empty seats 🐯.
Good evening, bouken!
Mini-packs of sake with straws! I know it's obvious, but it's strange 😄.
I'll pretend I didn't hear the result of the Hanshin game 😭
I almost forgot that I also drank a bottle of Kiyosuzakura white wine in the same container. I was surprised to find out that Kiyosuzakura is not only sake!
Good evening, bouken!
I see you can now drink alcohol at the ballpark.
Non-alcoholic beer
I don't feel good about it.
I'm happy if I can drink even if we lose 🤣.
Ponchan, good evening 😀
It was my first time to drink alcohol with a straw 😳I was also surprised to see wine as it was my first time to see it too. The result is also bad, so I feel like I just came to the ballpark to drink... 😹.
Good evening, tkmts⚾.
Last fall, they sold until 8pm, but now the vendors are there until the end of the game 💃.
I went with someone who had all kinds of drinks and snacks, I thought it was a pub 🤣.
I came to my first baseball game this year!
The person I went with prepared this sake.
This is my first keg of sake.
It tasted a little woody and fruity with a sweetness.
I was surprised that it tasted better than I expected.
Maybe I should buy some Junmai barrel sake.
Good evening, Holly.
I haven't seen that green seat for more than three years.
I hope I can manage to get there in the summer.
Kiku-Masamune is also good for yuzu sake and gin packs!
I also think the keg sake is a masterpiece!
Good evening, good evening, good evening ⚾.
We lost, but it was fun! I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'll give it a try.
I didn't touch it even though it's sold everywhere, but it's moderately tasty 🌲.
Good evening, Mr. Shinjo.
The seats were larger and more comfortable than in the outfield. Kiku-Masamune is my favorite brewery among the major sake breweries. Hyakumoku was a real treat and the taste was shocking.
Takashimizu Non-filtered Junmai Sake
I'm at Koshien!
Watching the last game of Hanshin 🐯 ⚾
The 14th row from the front behind the back net✌️
It's been a long time since I've been to Koshien 🤗
I️ thank my friend for inviting me.
The best drinker in the world!
It's great to drink sake under the open sky 😆.
This is my first time to drink Takashimizu!
Even though it is unfiltered, it is refreshing to drink!
The taste of the rice lingers in your mouth.
Yakult wins, Hanshin loses
Yakult won the championship!
I saw the moment of decision right in front of me😭.
Thanks to all the players for their hard work for one year👍.
Rafa papa, good morning😃.
Is it from the sacred ground Koshien⁉️
I love it👍.
It's a shame that the Tigers were running solo until the middle of the season...
I've been a fan of the Hawks since I was a kid.
I've been a fan of the Hawks since I was a kid with the Nankai Hawks 🦜 🤗but living in Osaka for as long as I have, I've always been a fan of the Hanshin 🐯 🐯 🙄 And Koshien is a special place.
