I wasn't sure what to say, but Pon-chan left Sake no Wa 😢.
I think Pon-chan is definitely the one who contributed to the revitalization of Sake no Wa 🥺.
I think Pon-chan is definitely the one who contributed to the revitalization of sakegawa 梁.
Thank you Pon-chan for always commenting on my silly posts 🙏.
This sake is limited to 300 bottles available only at Higashitsuru, a liquor store with two branches in Nishinomiya.
It is said to have a gorgeous flavor not found in previous Shirataka.
It is indeed a sweet and modern sake. The second half of the bottle is a little more sake-like. There is no ginjo aroma. A little citrusy.
Nemuchi seemed to be interested in this sake, but I don't think she would like it 🤔.
It's not enough for a raw sake...
It's halfway between sweetness and umami 🙄.
Good morning, bouken: ☀️
Shocking💥😳 in the morning.
Ponchan...😭😭😭😭😭
Another one of your boosters has left 😫.
I don't know what happened, but I'm not sorry 💦.
Good morning, bouken☀Thank you for telling us about Pon-chan, you mean social networking trouble. I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you are still loving sake as much as ever.
Good morning, bouken ☀☀☀, I'm sorry to see Kansai's greatest treasure leave Sakewa 😭Thanks for the Shirataka review I was wondering about 🙏 but if bouken says it's not my favorite, I'll agree with him 😁.
Hello bouken 🌞.
Sake no Wa no Healing Pon-chan... 🥺I was wondering if you were busy with your personal life during GW and then you stopped 🥲.
I haven't deleted your account so I hope you'll come back.
Hello T.KISO 😃
Pon-chan and J&N are two of the biggest sake brewers in Japan, so we will miss them when one of them is absent 😢.
I think there is a possibility that they may come back so let's wait patiently 🤗.
Hello, studying 😃.
I was lost since he hasn't made it public, but I couldn't resist 😞I know he's away from here, but I'm sure he's doing well and I'm sure he drinks sake too 🍶.
Hi Nemuchi 😃
I'm very sorry to hear that since I'm the one who was the kicker to join the offline meeting 😭I'm sure it tastes not like Shirataka, but I'll probably say it's not enough 🤣.
Hi Matsuchiyo 😃
I'm sorry to inform you that I'm quitting or rather leaving for the time being.
I hope he will come back one day 🥺 since he still has his account.
Hello bouken 😃I think your action is a wise decision, as I would be very worried if someone who has contributed so much suddenly disappears without a trace. Thank you very much.
Mr. Bouken.
Good morning♪
Thank you for the information about Pon.
I'm not sure why, but I'm very sorry 💦 I hope you will come back someday since you still have your account.
Good evening, Ms. Hanapin.
I saw that Pon-chan often commented on Hanapin-san's posts. I too have been bothered by anger and sadness for a few days and couldn't stand it.... I hope you will come back when you calm down.
Masaaki Sapporo-san Good evening.
I think there are many people who are disappointed because of the wide range of comments from many people. I felt Pon-chan's greatness by the number of comments here.
Good evening, Mr. Koizo.
I regret that I have done something unnecessary, but it is a relief to hear you say so.
I would like to tell Pon-chan when we meet that everyone at Sake-no-wa is on her side.
Thank you so much, bouken. I am filled with gratitude for all the help you all gave me 🙏.
Please let me be a part of the "wa" again. Thank you very much 🙇.
Sweetness is felt, but later on one can detect alcohol aroma and bitterness.
It's not crazy good, but it's not bad either.
I bought a bottle to commemorate the Tigers ARE 🐯.
I wanted to keep the bottle so I decided it was time to drink it 🫙.
This day I hooked up a one-cup at lunch and went to the Ed Sheeran concert at night 🎸.
His use of the loop pedal was so divine, I was in awe👍.
180 mL
Hi Yoohee 😃
Speaking of Ed Sheeran, a few years ago, Shirayuki released Ed Sheeran collaboration sake 😁.
It was sold out at Aeon for a long time because it was too expensive 🤔.
bouken Hello...
I didn't know you were doing that too...,
Copyright fees seem to be more expensive than liquor💦.
I think the expensive liquor tends to be left over at the aeon 💧.
I often see a wagon with a large amount of it with a discount on it 👀.
Sake from the breweries of Chojamori and Koshino-Kanchubai.
I had been interested in this sake for a long time, but I bought it because it was on special price and there was a draft.
According to the Internet, the rice is Koshitanrei.
I've seen the hi-ire version but only at Ito-Yokado 🤔.
I heard it was developed in collaboration with Takaoka National College of Technology, and the 888th sake out of 1200 test brews was so good that they decided to commercialize it.
Sourness like wine. It has sweetness but it's not like sake. As the description says, I would like to match it with meat and cheese.
The only existing wooden brewery in Nada Gogo. It is a rare sake with no added sugar except for nigori.
Nemuchi-san and Yoohee-san were drinking it, and I was curious about it, so I bought it.
It has a surprisingly crisp sweetness, strong alcohol taste, and a classic flavor.
It has a strong punch that makes you want to drink it on the rocks or with soda.
It goes great with soda!
Good evening, bouken🌛I was a little put off by the added sugar, but I knew you'd drink it? I was not a fan of it because of the added sugar, but I still drank it 😁It was delicious, but I can't drink 900ml of it because it is classical and has 20% alcohol by volume 🤣.
Hello, Mr. Sakeran 😀
I'm wondering if the addition of sugar in addition to the point you mentioned is also a concern of yours? I feel that is your concern 😊.
Oh, by the way, are you going to post the Daishichi aged raw sake? Keiko Matsuzaka's 🤔
Hello Nemuchi 😃
I've been waiting for a long time but I bought it 😁.
It's a lot and I think if I drink it as it is I'll get 🤪 so I'm drinking it with soda 😆 I recommend with soda 🤣.
Ohohohoho!
Daishichi is so good it kills you instantly🫥!
Yum! I can only write about the second bottle, so I'll write about it again after the second bottle.
This sake is sold at Nishinomiya Shrine only during Tokaebisu, but I bought a limited supply at a nearby liquor store.
It is a smooth and easy to drink type of sake. It is too refreshing and not enough for me, so I think it would be better with soda.
It is good with soda 😋.
I'm not a shirataka, I'm a hirataka 😁.
Good evening, bouken😄
It's homemade active nigori with soda 😊.
You're right, the brand name of saké no wa is Shirataka 😅 even though it's Hakutaka under it 😅.
You're awesome for noticing that 😳
Good morning, Aladdin ☔.
I felt it was too pungent as it is and I thought it would be better with soda 😅I thought it was strange that it didn't come up in a search when it was in hiragana form, but the reading was 🙄.
Hello bouken evangelist 😃
The brewery here is only a long-established company and is very much into the shrine ⛩️ relationship. ❗️
I'm sorry the operator made an uncharacteristic mistake...
I'll have to ask for a correction 😁.
Hello Chichi 😃
It's true that it's the Imperial Sake of Ise Shrine 😊.
I have the impression that it is well known because of that 🤔.
There are quite a few sake that are limited to Nishinomiya 😅.
I was going to buy Junmai from Suzukagawa, but they had a new sake, so I decided to buy this one 😊.
Aroma with a beautiful atmosphere. It has a calm freshness and a firm sweetness. Saku's new sake is delicious, but Suzukagawa is also good 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee 😃.
They were placed side by side in a wooden box just like wine 😁.
I almost missed it because it was in an inconspicuous position but I got the last one👍.
It has a slight sweetness and flows like water with a touch of alcohol.
Dry? I didn't taste much, though it wasn't as tangy as it could have been.
The day after bouken-san's information, I dropped by and found the last bottle left, so I hurried to buy it.
It was just as dry as Nemuchi's and bouken's previous reviews, and it was different from what I expected. ❗️
I wonder if all the normal line tastes like this?
720 mL ¥ 1,427
Sure, I saw this Tokujun and Nigorigo at the cheese shop the other day, so I thought I'd buy some and try it......,
But I wish they would put Genshu Mai in it.
Good evening, Yoohee-san 🌛I guess Kawanakajima is different from what I expected for Genmai lovers 😅I heard there is another Kawanakajima Toku Jun Dry Mouth, but I'm not sure if I should buy it 💦I read an old review that said Kawanakajima nigori is less sweet and more rice-like....
Good morning, Nemuchi-san.
I see that there is a dry special jun too, if it is drier than this, it will have a strong bitter and alu taste.
I see that nigorigo is also less sweet 💧.
I guess the normal line tastes like that 💦.
This sake was purchased by Rafa and Nemuchi when they visited liquor stores earlier this year.
I think it was a spot shipment, but I was surprised to see it in stock at a liquor store that was not a special distributor. There was also a bottle of Suzukagawa, but both were marked as special arrivals.
It has an elegant sugary sweetness, but it is a completely different type of sake from Genmai. I think it would be good at room temperature or lukewarm.
It also has a cool or refreshing feeling.
I think it matches what Nemuchi said about it being clear.
bouken, Hi 😊I drank this Kawanakajima with the image of Genshu Mai, but it was not this one 😅I thought it was this one 🤣It seemed better not to chill it too much as well 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi 🌠.
If you drink it with the image of "Gensho Mai", you will be disappointed 😅.
It's more like a classic.... I opened it, took a sip, took it out of the fridge and left it at room temperature 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😃.
Genshu Mai is a more modern sake, while Kawanakajima is more classic 😅I had the impression that Kawanakajima is not suited for hot sake or long aging. I had the impression that Kawanakajima is more classic 😅 but it's not suitable to be heated or aged for a long time, so it's difficult to say 🙄.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee 😃
When I posted this, I was wondering what I should do if Yoohee didn't drink it, but I was relieved to see that you drank it first 😁It's not often that I see one that isn't a "Gensai" so I jumped on it 💦.
I'm not a fan of Fukuju, but sometimes I buy it. Hyogo Ai ♥
I was attracted by the cloth label and the limited edition of 120 bottles. It is quite light, slightly fruity and dry. I think I prefer Hyogo Nishiki, which I drank in the past, because it is sweeter.
I can taste the gorgeous sweetness when it is closer to room temperature than when it is freshly out of the refrigerator.
I can't find anything about this sake on Google except on the SNS of the liquor store where I bought it 🤔.
Good evening, bouken.
I went to the brewery to buy Fukuju but I haven't had it since 😅I'm not afraid of it...but I love your love for Hyogo 👍Is there a brewery in Hyogo where you haven't had it?
Good evening, Rafa.
I avoid Fukuju because I often don't like it, but if I see something I've never seen before, I'll go for it 😅.
I think there are about 10 breweries in Hyogo that I haven't drunk if they haven't gone out of business 🤔.
bouken-san Good evening ⭐︎
There are so many varieties of Azuma Tsuru that you might miss a rare sake if you don't look carefully 👀.
I've always had the image that Fukuju is available everywhere, so I'm even more likely to miss it, but I'm impressed that you found it 👍.
Yoohee, good evening 🌠.
I went there because I saw the instagram and I wanted to go there 🤫.
I can't underestimate the room temperature corner because there are some unexpected things there 😁.
Good morning, bou 🌅.
To be honest, I had never heard of Fukuju's "raw" version 😳.
I have an image of it being sold everywhere, just like Mr. Yoohee, but I didn't know there was such a thing...
Good evening, Mr. Sakeran 😃
They have Fukuju nama sake at Yamaya, but the one they usually sell has the same label as the hi-ire one and casually says nama sake, so it might be hard to notice it 😁.
Sake sold in Nishinomiya City during the Ebessan Festival.
When I bought it 4 years ago, it was Shirataka. I want to try Ougi Masamune and Kanetaka from next year onward!
It has a strong aroma of rice or bran. Even when you drink it, it has a strong rice flavor. It is dry but not too dry. Is it a food sake type?
Kunisan Shuzo does not brew their own sake, so I guess they buy it from another company, but it has "O" written after the company name, so I guess it is Ozeki. And the location is close.
Good morning, Pon-chan 🌄.
It must be hard for sellers since the season is short 😥.
It's subtle that even if you can choose one, the sake in it is different but the label is the same 😅The design is the same every year 😁.
Maidosu~!
This looks good.
Almost certainly O Seki, but I'm a fan of Shin Tamba, so I want to buy this one too!
I didn't know there were so many minor sake breweries in Nada!
I'll make the rounds next month or so!
Shinjou-san Maidosu👸.
Nishinomiya has many small and medium class sake breweries😊Almost all of them are commissioned breweries😅By the way, Ogimasamune is made by Oshika and Kanetaka is made by X-taka, I heard. I don't know but...
I went to buy it after seeing the liquor store's insta-post because Tateyama's active nigori sounded rare.
As I mentioned before, Higashitsuru is located near Hakushika Classics. It is a discount store that sells groceries, medicines, and other non-alcoholic beverages. It seems that they used to be a sake brewery. In fact, the company name "Azumatsuru Shuzo" is written on the website. It has the same name as a sake brewery in Saga.
This time they had more Eiko-Fuji than usual.
I thought it would be more active, but it was very mild.
Dry, sweet and spicy. It has a strong rice flavor and koji taste. At a little over 1000 yen including tax, this sake is cheap and easy on the wallet.
It tastes sweeter on the third day than freshly opened.
Hi Umao 😃
I opened the bottle immediately after purchase due to the convenience of the fridge😅.
It is almost cloudy with a small portion of supernatant. It wasn't very cold and didn't spurt at all 🤣.
It doesn't say, but the product name is Kokoromi. 295 bottles of this sake are limited, and from the name, I wonder if it is a test brew type sake.
The concept of the Kokoromi saké has been around since last year, and it is said to be "unpolished luxury. This year's theme is "Shitakoya. It is a low-polished, low-alcohol sake. It is a rather gorgeous sake with a gentle taste that is not typical of Shirataka.
The rice is Yamada-Nishiki from a special A district, which is luxurious for only 1,300 yen.
It is probably only available in the Nishinomiya area, but if you see it, give it a try.
Surprisingly, this is the first time I've had a Kozaemon draft. I've always wanted to try it, but the timing hasn't been right and I've only had the hiya-oshi and hiyayakoshi versions.
It's a CWS sake, but I didn't see it in the store, but it seems there were only 200 bottles or so.
This is the first time I've had a rice called Asahi no Yume. Fruity, a little sweet and refreshing. I don't think it has much of a freshness to it. It is a sake that is a fusion of modern and classic.
Personally, I thought it was too subtle. For a junmai daiginjo, it tastes messy or...
On a side note, there is now a Yamanaka Sake store at Osaka Station, which I thought was more convenient and easier to get to than the main store in Daikokucho 😁.
Dear BOUKEN, Thank you for your hard work. It was nice to meet you, even if it was only for a short time remotely.
I took only a picture of this, but failed to review it. I didn't know the quantity was so small. I did not know that.
Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Greissinger19!
I could feel the enthusiasm of the Kyushu Off-line Meeting in a short time 😁I saw it in a store and wondered if there was such a thing in CWS. I saw it in a store and looked it up, and it seems that's what it was about.
CWS.
Gas is quite strong. It has a fine sweetness with a shriveled taste. It is sweet but not fruity, and the flavor of the rice can be fully appreciated. The acidity is also strong.
The impression is a little different from the fruity Splash we had before.
Purchased at Higashitsuru Market Square on the beach in Nishinomiya. Right next to Shirataka and Shirashika Classics.
It has the feel of a discount liquor store, but has a lot of core local sake. According to online information, it used to be a sake brewery. You can find sake from Nishinomiya's very small breweries such as Baomusume, Shimabijin, Kiichi, Kokusan Ichi, and others.
They carry Haginotsuru, which is not widely available in the surrounding area. Shirataka sometimes carries rare sake from the neighborhood. Eiko-Fuji is sometimes stocked.
bouken, congrats on your decision!
I enjoyed this one 🎶.
Last year, I also tried the non-Origarami one and both were delicious❣️.
I'm not sure which one is better 🎯.
This is a fruit series planned by Mr. Yamada, a sake merchant in Hiroshima. It comes out from various sake breweries.
I've drunk Raifuku's Momo before.
In addition to the kudamono series, there are many other products like CWS.
Some liquor stores other than Sakaisho Yamada also sell it.
It smells and tastes like banana. The aftertaste is like ramune. It's called soda, so I thought it would have a gassy taste, but it doesn't. I didn't understand the ramune taste.
I think it's a little bit aged. I'm pretty sure I searched it and it says cold storage.
Hmm, not bad, but...
It's not as fruity or sweet as it looks on the label.
Yuka-chin-san, good evening 😆.
I've never seen it in stores before, so I checked after I bought it and it was sold out everywhere 😅.
I was lucky to find it at a discount liquor store (which also carries Saku and Eikoh Fushi at a fixed price) where it was usually on line😊.
