IMADEYA's last is Takashi no Tsukasa!
I had wanted to drink it because I had enjoyed it at a yakitori restaurant in Tama Plaza before, and happened to see Hina Hana Mama's post about it, and since it was on the menu, I decided to order it 😉.
It has a mild fruity aroma. It has a soft mouthfeel and a moderate sweet/umami taste, but the hint of aroma is slightly melon. The acidity is also mild, and a sweet-tart aftertaste lingers. I found out later that it was dry, but I have notes from when I drank it, but there is no mention of dryness, and I don't know if it's because it's super soft water, but I didn't feel much of a dryness 🤔.
Here is IMADEYA's menu for this time. Shinsei was listed on another POP ✨.

Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Wow, Takashi no Tsukasa dry 🤩.
I thought I would never be able to drink this 💦 but with super soft water, it's hard to feel the spiciness ⁉️ that might be a great discovery ☝️ I haven't dared to try it yet 🤣.

Good morning, hinahana mama 😃.
I didn't feel dryness so I think it's easy to drink, but if it's listed as dry, there is some resistance 😁I guess it's because of the super soft water, but Ko no Tsukasa is a sake I would like to drink in various ways 😃.

IMADEYA's third drink at the corner
This is my first drink 😁.
It has a banana-like aroma. It has a soft mouthfeel, with a gentle sweetness and umami, and the acidity gives it a refreshing feeling. The aroma is also banana like, easy to drink and delicious 😆.
The two photos are of IMADEYASumida store, located in the food court on the 1st floor of PARCO, where you can sit and drink ✨.

The second drink of IMADEYA's Kaku-uchi, I did not come here for Shinsei, but I could drink Shinsei Ecru and Nirvana Kame this time 😁.
Unfortunately, the Shinsei bento that Hiro-san introduced was sold out 🤣.
I will have Wakasagi fritters as a side dish...
Mild aroma. No gas, and the mouthfeel was crystal clear. It has a light umami flavor, and the acidity is moderately sour. The hint of aroma is slightly banana. Sake that has a light feeling like 00 water, when matched with a stalk, it has a delicious flavor 🤔.

We went to IMADEYA Sumida for a corner bar.
One of the three types was sold out, so I got the ecru ✨.
It has a green apple-like aroma with a hint of bubbles. The mouthfeel is refreshing...the moment I drank it, I felt the sourness of the acidity. I also sense a gentle flavor, but it's light and lemony😃.
It was an easy drinking ecru that you can drink with ease 😃.

Today is sobriety day. But since dinner was bonito sashimi, I bought a bottle of Hidakami "Yasuke" for my wife and father-in-law. I have had it before so I'll hold off and post it as an evaluation note.
👩🦰 Wife: 7/10 "A little sweet?" Impression. I wonder if the umami was perceived as sweetness. Aroma of ginjo?
👨🦳 Father-in-law: 8/10 "Excellent", then just barely "Superior". Good!

Hi Kozhikozhi 😃
I can't believe you bought Hidakami-san to go with your entrée while you yourself are abstaining from alcohol! That's a great mentality 🤗.
And your wife finds Hidakami dry taste sweet! You are a strong man 😁Noby and I seem to have the same taste!

Hi Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your comments!
Even if you can't drink, I'd be happy if you enjoy my choice of alcohol. My wife and I have different tastes and preferences, so maybe that's what it comes down to... lol.

Lunchtime drinking at PARCO's Imadeya (lol).
Although it is not listed as a sake with a specific name, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it is in fact a junmai daiginjo.
The aroma is gorgeous, with a fruity melon-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow and soft, with a slightly sweet but umami flavor.
The aftertaste is clean and crisp, giving the impression that the sweetness is not dragged down.
We paired it with a rare piece of tuna grilled on a half-skewer, but it did not clash with the flavor of the ingredients and went well with them in an elegant way.
It is easy to drink despite its sweetness, and can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.
Preferred Score: 7/10]
Aroma: 2/2｜Mouthfeel: 1/2｜Medium: 1/2｜Final taste: 2/2｜Price: 1/2
→ Excellent drinkability with a crisp aroma and aftertaste. If it were a little less sweet, I would like it even more.

I stopped by and stopped by to enter the drawing. Instead of capturing a beetle, I bought this one. This is my first Houou Mita.
When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not so strong, but when I poured it into the glass, the fine bubbles made my expectations grow.
When you take a sip, you can feel the chili on the tip of your tongue. The dry impression is followed by the spread of umami and sweetness, which quickly fades away.
This is delicious! My favorite flavor. I'm sure I'll be back for more.

The Aomori AQE series has been shown in various guises up to this point. Let's finish off with a sake called "Tasake". Now let's go! The aroma is milder than usual Tasake. The sweet aroma of rice is present, but it is subdued. I wonder if the slightly sweet brewing water is a common Aomori identity, but I like it. The sweetness is like that of pears at first, and then gradually comes like that of strawberries. The sweetness, however, is more subdued than that of the usual special junmai. What is even more surprising is the feeling that comes after swallowing. No way! It's a dry rice wine?
This may have been the most surprising of the AQE series.
Personally, I was surprised by the sweeter Toyobai and the milder Tasake. Thank you again for the food and drink tonight!

Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had a cold and was very sick for the past week, so I had to stop drinking. If I were to drink for the first time in a while, I would choose Toyobai. So, here we go!
The rice polishing ratio is exactly the same as that of Toyobai's regular special junmai, and I wonder if all the brands have the calmness of special junmai as their theme.
The aroma is gorgeous, like pears and apples. The aroma is sweeter than the usual special junmai. The smooth and sweet brewing water, which is typical of Toyobai, brings a slight sweetness and astringency like red wine, and this lingering taste becomes a classic with its sharpness. It is best to drink it smoothly during a meal, or if it is spring, with wild vegetables. This special junmai was a little more modern than usual.
Due to the stock, we will not be able to introduce other Toyo Sakai until a little later, but please wait with warm eyes.
Thank you very much for your kind attention!

For the AQE2025 collaboration, I chose Toyobai to accompany the rice wine. I had never seen it on the store shelves. When the bottle was opened, there was no hint of chili, and a faint aroma of pear. When you take a sip, the sweetness is subdued, and there is a bitter, alty taste with a long aftertaste. I thought it was a hard-core sake that was not influenced by the current trends.

Since the four breweries of Aomori Hope and the AQE series have been released, we have to try all of them, so let's try Hato Masamune next! Let's get to it!
It may be a little sweet, but the mild aroma is probably unique to Hato Masamune. The soft and silky brewing water is the best characteristic of Hato Masamune. The flavor is pleasant without being too strong, and the marriage of sweetness and milkyness is very good. The sharpness and bitterness of the aftertaste make it a wonderful sake to keep drinking. I don't know about IMADEYA's AQE because they don't seem to disclose the sake rice, but for each of the four breweries, Tasake and Hato Masamune use Hanafukuyuki and Toyobai uses Toyobai rice, right? I don't know the rice used for Hachisen Special Junmai. I don't know the sake rice for Hachisen Special Junmai. Thank you again for the food tonight!

Tasake is not often available, but I was able to purchase the AQE collaboration sake. The aroma was faintly apple, or maybe pear. It had a strong sweet and umami flavor, and because of the high alcohol content (17%), it tasted very doshiri. I have another bottle of another collaboration sake to compare.

Lately, I have been drinking only sake from Kyoto and have not had any Aomori sake at all. Then, oh well, Aomori AQE will be limited to Hijimaya this year... Toyobai, Tasake, Hachisen, and Hato Masamune... I had to buy it. So I bought them.
I guess I'll open the Mutsu Hachisen first. Here we go! The aroma is mild but sweet. The aroma is mild but sweet, with a hint of apple sweetness. The mouthfeel is a little hard. It is not as hard as Kaze no Mori, but it is hard. It has sweetness, but more than that, it has a wonderful richness and umami. It has a nice sharpness and goes down your throat well, especially in the summer. This time, I had it with bonito tataki and bracken. Hachisen really goes well with green fish, squid, and wild vegetables. Thanks to IMADEYA. Thanks to IMADEYA, too!

This was last Thursday!
Monday through Thursday is usually my J&N day off, but I had a drinking event coming up on Saturday 🥲.
(Tochigi Bijyokai which is already up 🤗)
I came home on Thursday hoping that I would probably drink today 🧐 ahead of schedule 🚙.
I opened the living room door 🚪 and peeked in to see a boar's mouth on the table 😄My mouth was loose 🤤I tried to act nonchalant and said "I knew we'd drink today.
And so the party began...
The chosen one was..! I've been curious about it ever since Okuroku's ‼️ Sake no Wa post from the series I've never had it 🤔I couldn't find it for sale in Utsunomiya 😢 but Nobby said it was delicious when he drank it at a previous Tochigi Women's Club 🍶 so I was even more curious 😙!
I finally found it at IMADEYA, where I stopped by before my lunchtime drink in Kinshicho last month 🥹.
I'll make love to you!
The aroma is fruity and citrusy 😌.
The first sip 😙 is a nice and refreshing acidity! The sweetness is juicy and sweet, but it melts away 😚.
This sweet and sour taste is our favorite 🤗.
Nobby said he met another Okuroku again at the women's meeting on Saturday! When I asked her, "What did it taste like?" I asked her "What did it taste like?" and she said "Well...I don't know 🙄 Anyway, it was delicious 😊".
That's all I have to report 😆.
