The New Year's party is over and we are back to normal operation today!
The first bottle of "W" was opened 🍶.
The aroma is fruity, but the taste is clean and dry. ⁉️
It's been a long time since I've had a dry, refreshing sake 😅.
I knew it was this one. I'm leaning towards the same type of taste when I learn it, but I can taste and savor many different kinds of sake 😅.
It's so deep...
I'm still getting it while feeling like I still have a lot of training to do 😂.
Today is the end of the year vacation, which means that I'm going to start my days full of sake.
However, I haven't been able to open one of the sake bottles I prepared for the New Year (I have to let my sons taste it...).
We still have a few days left, so we opened a bottle of "Akabu" Junmai Ginjo, a favorite of the wife, and brought it with us 🍶.
As I thought, it's a great and stable match. ❤️
It's so good that no matter how many times I drink it, it's always so easy to drink too much 😅.
I'm afraid I'll drink as much as I have and a bottle might be a mistake 🤣.
I'll have to make sure it lasts until the end of the year💦.
Hi Baum 😃
Thank you for your work 😌 Is it good enough for your boys? I'll have to taste it 😁Great parental love...or is it drinking love 🤗
I wonder if I will be able to keep it ⁉️
Good aroma with a fair amount of alcohol. It has a slightly sweet, refreshing taste, with a moderate acidity and a bitter taste at the end.
The white label light nigorigo is also as delicious as expected. Thanks to you, Shosen-san, I can taste myself one step further.
The other day, after reading J&N's post, I really wanted to drink Ippo Mi's nigori, so I went to a liquor store in Sakai 🤣.
But unfortunately, they only had one bottle of nigori 🥲.
Unfortunately, they only had one bottle of nigori 🥲... so I decided to go with a bottle of sumizake 😀.
Today I opened a bottle of this Sumimi-shu, which is a well-balanced sake with a solid umami and some sweetness. 🙆♂️
As a nigori lover, I would definitely like to try a nigori of Ippodo myself someday 😇.
Today, I visited 2 temples deep in the mountains of Kawachinagano city in the south of Osaka, but I had an accident that I got lost on the way 😅.
However, at the end of the tour, we went to Amano Sake brewery in Kawachinagano and bought a limited edition light nigori, sake lees cider, and a side dish made with sake lees 😇.
Mr. Yasube.
Good evening!
I know what you mean!
I asked the liquor store I frequent too, but they don't carry it 😱.
I wonder if I can get it on a long trip 🤔.
23 kilometers is more than just a stroll 😁.
Good evening, Yasube-san 🌒.
It's Shosen in Sakai, isn't it? As usual, the range of activities of the sake activity is wide! Did you leave your backpack and enter the fridge❓🤣.
Good evening Mr. Yasbay 😃.
Matsusen you also put your one step self 😳⁉️ I need to get Maru to show me around soon 😳You walked 23km...not something a normal person would do 🤣.
Yasbay konbanhasan (o´o)n~~~
I've been wanting to try it for quite a while now but couldn't find a distributor 🥺.
I might have to go super far to buy it💦.
Good morning, Yasube 😃.
We learned from Mamio, the Ippo-self ambassador 🤗 Sorry to hear about the Aper😫 nigori 🥲 but Junmai is also delicious...I want to drink it raw!
Hello, kozou-san 😀
I thought Ippoumi was the sake I wanted to get, even if I had to go a long way 😀.
I was actually planning to go about 15 km, but I had an accident on the way and had to walk quite a bit extra 😅.
Hi Maru 😀
When I go to Matsusen in Sakai, I decide in advance what sake I'm going to buy and it's in the fridge in the store, so I've never been in the fridge in the back 🤣.
This time my mom tried to find it for me, but I gave up because it was a bottle 😅.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Shosen has a different assortment of products than other stores, so it's interesting 😀.
I always use my GPS app when hiking in the mountains, but the road is closed on the way 🥲.
papa's GPS is more accurate😇
Hi Eririn-san 😀
I thought it would be easier for Eririn to get this sake since it's from Fukushima Prefecture😅.
Even in Kansai, this is the only store I know of that has it, so I had to go far to get it 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
That's how the news of sake spreads in the sakewa world😇!
This sake was very good and I hope to get the nigori next time I have the chance 🙆♂️
Good evening, Yasubeyesan ⭐I see there are not many stores in Kansai that carry Ippoumi 😭I recently decided to buy a bottle of Ippoumi 🤣I never get tired of drinking it and it's easy on the wallet 💕I'm also looking forward to reading your report of the light nigori!
Good evening, Mamio 😀
Mamio-san information came around and I was able to enjoy some good sake too... thank you 🙏.
I'll have to wait until the Yongo bottles as the Hana Yuu is in the fridge and can't take up any more space 🤣.
Good evening, Yasube-san. I see that you were able to buy a bottle of Ippo Mi's Nama sake! That's too lucky👍I hope you will meet the light nigorigo too😊I laughed at Mamio's declaration of a bottle of sake. What kind of resolution is that 🤣.
Good morning Yasubey 😁.
Ippeppo-self I have an image of Hirupeko-san drinking well! I see you couldn't buy nigori 😭
I saw Yasubeyesan J&N's post and I also went to buy 🏃 no nigori 😭 I'm waiting to buy another Ippouki 😊.
Hi Hirupeko 😀
I went there with the intention of buying nigori, so I was a little disappointed when I left with this sake, but I was surprised at how good it tasted 🤣.
Thanks to the sake cellar, I will be able to buy a bottle of Nigori next time 😇!
Hi Ao 😀
I see that you also went to buy Ippouki after reading your post 🤣.
Like me, I was disappointed that I couldn't buy the nigori, but I think all of the Ippouki is probably delicious 😇
Before we get into the spring sake drinking comparison, here's a little second round of filling in the map of Japan 😀.
Today's sake is from Okunomi in Tokyo 😇.
I'm going to open a bottle of Okunami because it's been drunk by many of the people I've become friends with at Sake-no-wa recently 🤣.
The first time you open the bottle, you can feel the tangy aroma in your mouth 😀.
It's my favorite 😀.
The ricey flavor and sweetness from there comes rushing in and flows along with the meal 😀.
It has a delicious claim to deliciousness that is not at all inferior to the Eiko Fuji, Jikin, and Imi that I compared it to 🤣.
There's no end to good sake 🤣.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Oh! The same No. 13 is waiting for you in our fridge too 🤗Yasbaye's favorite one 😋I'm looking forward to drinking it after I get sober 🥹.
Good morning Yasubeyesan 😃.
You are very active to go to Shosen 👍‼️Yamoru is available at Ikushima Shoten in Suita City 😊It is an interesting store that offers tasting after tasting 😁I went there by car but they asked me just to smell it 🤣.
Hi Pon-chan 😀 Yamori is delicious, but the problem is that it is not generally sold at the liquor stores I frequent 🤣 I was told about a store in the city that carries it, but I couldn't find it.
I was told about a store in the city that carries it, and I looked around the area but couldn't find it, so I ended up buying it at Sakai, where I had bought it before.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I saw that you guys were drinking Yamori-san and I opened a bottle as soon as I could 😀.
If you're sober, I highly recommend this delicious Yamori 😇
But I guess it's still Tochigi sake ❓🤣.
Hi Rafa papa 😀
Thank you for the information 😇
I went to Matsusen this time to buy Yamori-san and Abe-san, but you can buy both in the Suita area 😀.
Next time I go to Matsusen, it will be either Kahayo or Ippo 🤣.
I think after all this time😅
When I'm collecting sake to drink, all I see are brands from the same brewery😅.
I want to participate in Hokuriku sake, but I can't find any sake from Hokuriku at all😭.
The liquor store I frequent is still closed and I don't have time to go buy new sake since I've already started working😅.
I feel like I'm one person behind 😅.
I had no choice but to open a bottle of Tasake today, which is a sake I really like, but it doesn't really strike me 😀.
I hope to get some Hokuriku sake tomorrow 😀.
Yasbay, here too 😊.
Drink and support, you don't have to be in a hurry, your feelings will be fully conveyed to us 👍Please enjoy the sake you have and drink it well 😊.
Please tell Kaorin thank you for ❤️ 🙏.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
I may not be able to enjoy alcohol honestly after New Year's Day. By the way, I read in your blog that Mr. Miyazaki of Sake in Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture has been very busy since New Year's Day.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Pon-chan is right! I think it's important to have a good feeling 🤗The sake looks delicious to look at! Please enjoy the taste 😋.
Good morning Yasbay😃.
Support is not something we should be forced to do 😊I rather think it's a bit different to make it an event... 🤔 to the extent we can... just our feelings 😌...
Good morning, Pon-chan 😀
I'm reminded of the Great Hanshin Earthquake of a long time ago, so I can't even drink good sake anymore 😭.
I didn't have time to drink at that time because of my work 😅
Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😀
I know I don't have to be conscious about it, but it's also true that I can't honestly enjoy my normal life 😅.
I hope everyone gets back to normal life as soon as possible 😀.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😀
It reminds me of when I was affected by the disaster in the past and I'm in a hurry to at least do something I can do as soon as possible😅.
I have to enjoy it or else I feel bad about my drinking 😅.
Thank you, Pads papa!
I remember the time of the earthquake that hit this area almost 20 years ago, when I was flying around to restore the area under the direction of the company at the time, and I could see the scenery of that time...................getting older is not good!
Yasube-san
Hello...I was not directly affected by the earthquake in either Hanshin or East Japan, but in Hanshin, two of my relatives' houses were completely destroyed and three days later I went to Umeda by train and walked to support them 😥I hope that the damage will not spread further and that the daily life will return soon...
Hi, Koizo 😀
Nada is doing its best to get back on its feet after so much damage 😀.
I hope the breweries in Hokuriku are also recovering well 😀.
I just pray that everyone will be able to drink delicious sake soon 🙏.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃It's your first time here. Nice to meet you. 🙇♀️ I'm from Miyagi prefecture too, and those images of Hokuriku brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure your warm thoughts are reaching there 😊.
Wakata, nice to meet you 🙇.
Japan is a country with a lot of natural disasters, so we experience a lot of natural disasters wherever we are 😅.
I hope I can be there for you as much as I can, thinking that someday it will be me 😀.
For the third new sake light nigori, I chose Bon's Hatsuyuki 😀.
We compared it with Sancho, Abe and Takachiyo, which had been opened earlier 😀.
They were all light, cloudy, and shwashy, so it's no surprise that they were all delicious 😀.
By the way, the wife said that Bon, which was opened this day, was her first taste and her favorite 😀.
I liked the San-Do the best, adding to the local preference 😀.
Good evening, Yasube!
I've been meaning to drink Bon, but haven't yet 💦I like nigori, so I'd like to try this one, which your wife highly recommends: ❣️
Hi Pon-chan 😀
There are so many kinds of light cloudy sake during the new sake season, it's hard to decide what to open first😅.
By the way, I missed the timing to buy Ozeyuki's new sake nigori 😓.
Hi 3KAN4ON 😀
I like light cloudy and I have a stupid tongue, so if I don't compare drinks like this, I can only give you my opinion that it's just good 😅.
I was going to make this sake the first sake of my second tour in Japan 😀.
For some reasons I started with Sentoku from Miyazaki 😅.
Actually, this sake is the one I chose for the start of my second round after reading a post by a friend of mine at Sake-no-Wa, and I went to a far-away store to buy it 😀 I'm glad I went out of my way to buy it today 😀.
I'm so glad I went out of my way to buy it 😀 I'm so glad I got it today.
That's what I'm talking about!
You Sake-no-wa people have sure tastes 😀.
It was a nigori-style sake, a seasonal sake, which was my goal for the second round without question, and it was a delicious sake 😀.
And I was even able to bring back some tasake from this store in Sakai, and I was also able to meet up with Haneya-san's wing, which I had given up on on the way to Sakai, so it was worth the trip to Sakai 😀.
Good evening, Yasube!
I looked for where to see the homemade sake map board 🗺️ and it's really a homemade map 😍.
No, Abe-san is a definite brand and you can trust the sakewa review: ✌️
Good evening, Yasube. Congratulations on your second round from the national conquest 🎊, it's great to see that you've already had a second one 👍That's a lot 🍶 harvested and worth the trip to Sakai 😊.
Hi 3KAN4ON 😀
I am sure that the drinks that are said to be tasty by people who prefer the same strain of alcohol as me, are also tasty when I drink them 😀.
I've made a second round so you can see where I've cleared.
Thank you, Hirupeko 😀.
I was able to come this far thanks to the friends I met at Sake-no-wa 😀.
I was able to go to Sakai and harvest a lot thanks to the information from my friends at Sake-no-wa 😀.
I really appreciate it 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I have found that if you make an effort to seek out alcohol, it can be even better than that 😀.
I'm going to make more effort from now on and enjoy meeting a lot of alcohol 😀.
Thank you, summer rain 😀
Maybe my sake god seems to live in this sake wa 😀.
After reading Natsuame's and other people's posts, it's always a good thing to go looking for him 😀.
After reading your post, I went walking today in search of new sake and to explore new stores 😀.
On the way there, I was able to meet Tsubasa again 😀.
I was able to meet up with Haneya's Tsubasa, which I had carefully kept in my possession during the move but couldn't drink because I bumped into my child and broke it 😀 I bought it immediately.
I bought it immediately. I had it today 😀.
I paired it with a bottle of Kagoshima Tenpikake that I opened the other day 😀.
Tenpiki was fruity, but Tsubasa was more fruity 😀.
The wife was even more shocked that I broke such a delicious sake 😅.
JN-san and Pon-chan, Tsubasa was still delicious... thanks 🙏.
By the way, I was also able to buy Abeno Junmai Ginjo, which was the purpose of today's exploration, and it is sleeping in our fridge 😀.
Thank you Mizuhashi-san and Natsuame-san too 😀
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
The wife was more than happy to see Angel back on the wing, even more than I was 😀.
We will soon finish our second lap around Japan and we plan to start that one with Abe-chan 😀.
Good morning, Yasbaye ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm so glad you got both the wings and the abe 😳👍I wonder if both of you had a chance or if the God of alcohol smiled on you ✨May your wife be more pleased than shocked to let you go 🙏.
Thank you, Pon-chan 😀
My wife's ears still have the sound of the cracked bottle in her ears, it was a beautiful clear sound as if a high quality glass was broken, she was impressed by the strange thing that this is a quintessential bottle of sake 😅.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😊.
You are very lucky with your sake luck to be able to draw Tsubasa-kun in your abe-chan walking ✨✨.
I'm so glad Tsubasa is back 🙏.
Thank you, Summer Rain 😀.
This is also thanks to Natsuame-san for her posts that make me want to go walking 😀.
I think my drinking luck has improved since I started sakénowa 😀.
Good evening, good evening, good evening 😀 I live in Senri and work in the city.
I live in Senri and work in the city, so my main area is in the north, but Tasake and Yabechan go as far as Sakai 😀.
Lately, I've been visiting Sayama as well 😀 for the sake I want to drink... 😀
For the sake of the sake I want to drink... 😀
Good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening 😀
I have heard of you from the Kansai group 😀.
If you have a chance, I would love to join you and have a drink with you while listening to you talk about various drinks 😀.
Is this a local brand of the same brewery as Hanayo-yoku?
The rice is said to be Gohyakumangoku. It's a completely different brew, but it's refreshing and has a gorgeous taste.
I had an image of it being classical and hard to drink, but it's a modern sake with impressive acidity.
The one I drank recently that is similar is GOGO Gohashi. Gohashi has a muscat-like atmosphere, and this one has a green apple-like atmosphere.
It's my first time to buy at regular price. But I bought it with Teisho and Takachiyo 38...
I've drunk Gohyakumangoku before, but this is the first time to drink Origarami. It has a pineapple-like sweetness and an aroma. It has a little bitterness and a quick finish. It's been a while since I drank Hanayo-yoku, but it's still delicious.
The taste change is too big after opening the package, so I think it is recommended to drink it quickly. It becomes a pineapple with bitterness.
Good evening, Mr. Bouken.
It's hard to get even in Kanto, so I wonder if it's even harder in Kansai⁉︎
I'm not a fan of sweet things, but I love sweet pineapples! (*^ω^*)
tkmt-san Good evening 🌃
In the Kansai region, there are very few dealers (I know of only two), so I think it is more difficult than in the Kanto region.
I also like the sweet taste of pinapores😊.
One of the two stores had loose purchase conditions, but they didn't have many in stock and were far away, so I was left with nothing by the time I got there... So I bought it at another store, but it was hard because I couldn't choose the brand of alcohol to buy with it.
I bought it as a tying with a certain liquor. I wouldn't have bought it if it was a spec sake. It is spicy but fresh. It has almost no sweetness, but it is easy to drink among the dry sake.
