They told me to buy some sweet liquor to procure😅.
Nanaro is Nara's first sake brewing rice.
Juicy sweet flavor like cherries. It seems to be the sweetest type of Kaze no Mori.
A little bitterness at the end.
Summer Nigorinpik 100
Today is Tanabata, and we are celebrating with a total of 100 bottles of nigori sake this season at our house 🎉!
This is the second appearance of Hirotogawa nigori sake this season.
Last season we wanted to drink Hirotogawa Nigori but finally couldn't get it...so this season we got two bottles each of Jigokawa Nigori and Hirotogawa Nigori as soon as the season started😇.
I was prepared that I would not be impressed when I first drank them since they had been stored for more than half a year, but that was not the case at all. Even though it is not called "active nigori", the bottle was opened slowly, but even with automatic stirring, a nice aroma spread at once and the tongue was well-stimulated😇.
I knew a nice nigori would remain fresh and tasty even after a little bit of storage 🙆🙆.
The 100th bottle was also nice 😇
Good evening, Yasbay!
Congratulations on your Nigori 100🎉!
The one who was chosen was Mr. Hirotogawa - he's a stone 😋.
I hope to meet you next season 🤗.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛Congratulations on the 100 nigori 🥳I've been waiting for it for a while now ✨and I'm impressed that you decided to go with Hirotogawa 😆I think I'll aim to get two this season🤣.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Congratulations on 100 nigori ㊗️ at this time of the year Hiro 🎉 100 nigori in a season in 6 months is a great immortal record 🤗.
Hello Yasbay 😃.
Congratulations on reaching 100 nigori 🎊.
And Hirotogawa's standing figure looks so divine, probably because of the glowing balloons behind him✨.
Thank you, T.KISO 🙏.
Last season the timing was really bad, every time I visited the store it was sold out, but this season I was surprised by the timing of the arrival of the new products every time I visited the store!
🤣
Thank you, HinaHanaMama 🙏.
I knew I was right to stock up on two bottles of Hirotogawa Nigori Sake😇.
It was also fun to drink at this time of the year and I thought it was a wonderfully potent sake!
Thank you Nao888 🙏.
I managed to make it here to the Kiridan number 😀.
Hirotogawa Nigori is an excellent sake that does not change its taste over time, so it is possible to prepare multiple bottles and open them at different times 😇.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 🙏.
Since I started this project, every time I went to the liquor store, all I saw was nigori sake🤣.
I have quite a bit of clear sake left, so I'll be opening clear sake for a while😇.
Congratulations to Yasube on your belated 🦍🦍100 achievement 🎉🎊!
Hirotogawa is perfect for the celebration! It's as good as it gets even after being laid down ✨I'm very jealous that I couldn't buy it last year 😊.
Hi Pon 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I was able to check in safely 🦍🦍100😇.
I got two bottles this season thanks to my netting to make sure I didn't miss any 😇.
Delicious nigori and satisfying even after a day 😇
It's been a while since I've had a "Bida" 🍶.
Dry but with a hint of sweetness 😋.
It's still delicious😍!
I can't bring it anywhere near me, so I end up going to the back of the fridge 😅.
I'm a little reluctant to open a bottle on an empty day, but for some reason I still crave it 😍.
I still have to drink it regularly 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Baum 😃.
Slightly sweet, but it's Mida, isn't it 😋.
This one reminds me of the classic ♪ Ode to the Earth, a staple of choir competitions 🤗I'll be drinking a lot of it when they start carrying it in my neighborhood ‼️
This will be my first time drinking Eiko-Fuji's AiYama🤣.
However, it is definitely a delicious Eiko-Fuji, and AiYama is one of my favorite sake rice...how can it not be delicious?
The aroma was unexpectedly light on the nose, but the taste was sweet and delicious 😀.
It has some nuances similar to the Junmai Daiginjo of Murasaki Uchu that we had yesterday 😇.
But the taste of sweetness is not simply fruity, it's quite a complex sweetness 😀.
But in the end, it was a delicious sake without being clingy 😇.
Tonight is the first night in Kagoshima!
Tenpyo" 🍶.
I found it at a liquor store 💡 and took it out of the fridge without any hesitation, but I hesitated for a moment when I saw the price, but since it was my first one, I took it 😅.
I let it sit in the fridge for a bit before opening the bottle.
The aroma is fruity 😋.
One sip and it's deliciously sweet 😋⤴️
The first day, the sweetness is a little bit dominant.
On the second day, it seems to be more refreshing and less sweet, making it easier to drink 😋.
It's more to my liking if I let it air out a bit 😍.
This time I drank it in 3 days because of my health condition, but it seems to be mellowing day by day, and I enjoyed the change of airing it out, which was very helpful for me when tasting sake 😋.
Spring Nigorinpic 80
With today's sake, we would like to finish the Spring Nigorinpic 🤣.
We received 80 bottles of nigori sake this winter and spring, and we have quite a few bottles of clear sake left in the sake cellar, so we would like to open those in succession🤣.
The last of the Spring Nigorinpik is this Pawn Michelle's 😇.
Cotton Candy is 8% alcohol, 500ml, easy to drink and tasty, so it will be a quick kill 🤣.
The Mino de Blanc we had yesterday was also a sake that reminded me of a white wine (especially a white wine with a strong acidity), but this Pawn Michel reminded me of a fruit wine😇.
This sake was more like a fruit wine than a grain wine, but it was a delicious sake with a fruit-derived sweetness and acidity that was very refreshing 😀.
It's been a while since I've heard Kaorin say that this is not sake😇.
Good evening Yasbaye 🌛Congratulations on completing the Spring Nigorin Pic 🥳And that's amazing 😳Beaumichel is delicious, but you'll finish it in an instant 🤣I look forward to your clear sake review ✨.
Good evening, chika!
That is the ultimate difficult question to answer 🤣.
But from the point of view of my passion... the most memorable thing is that I was able to drink Hirotogawa Nigori Sansan last year, which I couldn't get even though I looked for it many times 😇.
Good evening, Nao888 😀.
We still have some nigori sake left in the cellar and sake fridge, but we have to discontinue it once to get to the clear sake 😅.
It will resume in about a month as a summer nigorinshu 🤣.
Good evening, Yasube!
The Nigorinpic was wonderful 😲.
I always enjoyed seeing so many different nigorin ⤴️ 😁✨
I'm looking forward to your clear sake review too 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki- 😀.
Too bad I still have a lot of nigori sake I wanted to drink because of the fridge problem 😅.
I'll change my choice a bit next year 🤣.
I still have some nigori sake in the cellar so I'll be back on track 😀.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
It's only the end of 'once'...there's more to come! That means 🤗I'm looking forward to see how many bottles of nigori you will drink in a year 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
We still have quite a few nigori sake left in the cellar, and we are planning to hold a summer nigorinpic and an autumn nigorinpic as well, so we will easily exceed 100 🤣.
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
Thanks for the nigorinmpic 😊The last one is cotton candy! Kaorin's not sake is a taste that fits perfectly 😆 I love this one: ❣️
I'm looking forward to the sequel again🎶.
Good evening, Pon 😀
We ended the Spring Nigorinpic with a fun Nigori 😇
We still have a few more nigori-chan waiting to be served, so we will resume again after we finish drinking some raw sake 🤣.
Spring Nigorinpic 73
Today we will have a Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Ooragarami from Yamawasei to compare with yesterday's Hakurakusei Ooragarami😇.
As you know, Yamawaboshi is brewed jointly by Yamawa and Hakurakusei in Miyagi Prefecture, and this year, the brewery is responsible for the brewing of the Hakurakusei's Shinzawa Brewery 😀.
The special feature is that the hi-ire is a clear sake and the nama is ogorami 🤣.
Of course, being a nigori maniac, I chose the raw ogara-mi 😀.
The aroma and taste are similar to Hakurakusei's, but the taste of Yamawasei's is clearer😇.
I can also feel the tingling and fizzy sensation on my tongue that I didn't feel so much with Hakurakusei 😀.
I prefer the taste of Yamawasei, but Kaorin prefers Hakurakusei's taste 😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
I see you went to Orikarami 😆Yamawasei is clear even in Orikarami ✨As expected of Mr. Shinzawa, the ultimate food sake, both Hakurakusei and Yamawasei seem to go well with meals 😋I hope to try some fresh sake next year 🥳.
Today was a welcome party for new employees and we had all-you-can-drink party 😀.
However, Kaorin has issued a ban on drinking all-you-can-drink sake because it makes me feel really bad 🤣.
I survived the all-you-can-drink with only highballs, so I will have a delicious nigori sake at home 😀.
Spring Nigorinpic 52
In spring, there are a little less nigori sake than in winter, but for this Spring Nigorinpick, we chose 30 sake selections as shown in the 4th picture 🤣.
There are quite a few left over from the winter Nigorinpik 🤣.
I decided to choose a sake with low alcohol content, easy to drink and tasty... so I chose Ozeyuki's Peach Color Nigori for this evening 😇.
I also got the supernatant, which was not too different from the nigori, but tasted delicious and fruity😇.
It's a highball and has quite a bit of alcohol in it, but still at 10% alcohol, I can drink more and more😇.
It has been a long time since I was able to drink this low-alcohol sweet and fruity sake, but I was able to enjoy it even after returning from an all-you-can-drink trip😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
The sake selections for the Spring Nigorinpik are breathtaking 🤩 awesome! All I can say is 😳I'm jealous ‼️
Today's Oze snowdrift looks delicious😍I'm looking forward to future Spring Nigorinpic ❣️
Good evening, Yasube🌛The scale of the Nigorin picks is incredible✨️I wish I could stock up like this🤤Ose-san looks delicious, but personally I'm interested in Honkin-san🍶I'm looking forward to your spring Nigorin picks review☺️
Good evening, Yasbay🦉.
I'm sorry you had to endure the drinking 💦 The peach colored nigori is extra delicious 🩷.
You have more nigori than a liquor store 🤣30 bottles in spring and 80 bottles in winter! In my house, it's nigori all year round🤣.
Good morning, Yasube 🌸 So, great 😲❗ spectacular ❗Your love for nigori is full ✨I think the particular sake is better than all the sake you can drink 😋💕Great job keeping your wife's good discipline 😁💨
Hi Yasbay 😃.
Ozeyuki of 10 degrees is perfect for the finish 🤗Yes, but as you say, it's a great ‼️ because of the number of these bottles 😄Good shot that shows all the drinks 👍.
Good morning, Yasube!
Hohoho - the Nigori-san lined up in a row - it's breathtaking and makes me smile just looking at them 😁✨.
Ozeyuki, the label is pink and spring-like, and the easy-drinking low alcohol looks delicious 😋.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😀
After all, if you collect this much, even if there are other sakes you want, you won't be able to get them due to lack of space 🤣.
It was more gorgeous and easier to drink than Ozeyuki's nigori that I got at the Winter Nigorinpik😇
Hi chika 😀
It's a lot of fun while collecting, but the real problem is that once you have collected this much, you can't buy any more sake even if you want to 🤣.
Hi Nao888 😀
Pretty much these 30 bottles were putting pressure on my cellar, sake fridge and home fridge and I was under a purchase ban 🤣.
I drank Honkin-san last year and enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to this year😇.
Hi Pon 😀
The number of nigori sake is growing steadily this season, especially because of the high percentage of nigori sake 🤣.
Ozeyuki's sweet and fruity has become a wonderful aftertaste for all the highballs you can drink😇.
Hi pyonpyon 😀
I've been beaten by all-you-can-drink sake twice so far and had to be picked up at the station by Karin 😅.
I love nigori sake, and even at sake brewery tastings, I end up taking home a high percentage of nigori sake😇.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
During the winter nigorinpic, we couldn't line up nicely because we had over 40 from the beginning, but in spring we were able to line them up because there was still less nigorinpic than in winter😇.
Low-al Ozeyuki 🙆.
Hi, ma-ki- 😀
Just a year ago, when we went to the Expo Park to see the cherry blossoms, we brought this Ozeyuki-san😇.
I changed the order a bit this year because it's not artistic to have the same sake in quicksand in a row 🤣.
I passed the 600 check-in yesterday without incident, so today I will resume the Nigorinpic again 😀.
Spring Nigorinpic 51
(I'll make it a consecutive number from the Winter Nigorinpic) 🤣
I will start the Spring Nigorinpic with the second nigori of the season 🤣.
Actually, after I used the points I saved up by standing in line for 2 hours to get a bottle of Jikin's nigori that I really wanted to drink, I applied for it at a liquor store where I often apply for lottery Jikin, and I won and the second bottle came to my house 😇.
I really do have good luck with lottery tickets for Jikin.
I told Kaorin that I was going to drink Jikin's nigori again today, and she prepared yakiniku for dinner 🤣.
Nigori and Yakiniku go well together after all😇
It went better with Yakiniku than Jikin's Aizan Hi-iri which we drank together 😀.
It was a very luxurious home yakiniku sake drinking experience 😀.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Your new first step after passing the 600 CI milestone looks even more gorgeous than the 600 CI 😳.
And the grilled meat looks good too 😋.
I envy your luck in the Jishin lottery!
We are on a losing streak. 😅
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛I didn't expect to have 2 bottles of Jikon nigori 😳It's a luxury that Ziconistas drool over 🤤The post festival for the memorable 600 check-in is turning into an amazing sake festival 🍶The barbeque looks delicious too🤤.
Hi shinsaku3 😀
The lottery at this store is not drawn by yourself 🤣.
I feel like if I drew it myself, I'd be all hapless😅.
The combination of nigori and yakiniku is also moderately good😇
Hi Nao888😀
The ratio of fish dishes has increased since I started drinking sake, but the nigori and meat was also a moderately good combination🙆
When the nigori hit me, I felt like it was a waste of 2 hours and points in the cold 🤣.
Hi chika 😀
There are a lot of delicious and interesting spring nigori sake, so let's do it😇
But in my case, many of them I didn't finish drinking in winter 😅🤣.
Yasbay, you have started a new beginning! And that's Spring Nigori 😆 51 bottles is about half a year's worth for our family 🤣 great 👍✨.
And that's Jikin ✨✨I'm really jealous 😻 as I haven't had it at home yet!
Hi Pon 😀
Nigori accounts for 70% of our season 🤣.
I really wanted to spend my sake luck elsewhere, but the Jigorisan was dubbed 🤣.
It doesn't always work out the way you want it to 😅.
The second bottle is our family's standard sake "AKABU" 🍶.
This time we chose Omachi.
I'm not an omatist myself, but I brought this one along because it was AKABU.
The bottle was opened with great vigor. The aroma is fruity, and when you pour it into your mouth, it has a beautiful mouthfeel, and the acidity you get from Omachi rice is just right.
It is definitely a bottle of deliciousness ❗️ that Mrs. Kurokawa praised, and she is more and more captivated by AKABU 😊.
I have a feeling that there will be more opportunities for me to go out again since it is a brand that is not available locally 😱.
Winter Nigorinpic 50
We have finally reached the big 50 bottles of Nigorinpick 😇!
At this point, I checked the Japanese cellar and the Sake Reizo, and there are still 23 bottles of nigori type sake left 🤣.
So we will end the Winter Nigorinpik today and hold the Spring Nigorinpik in the near future 😇.
The freshness and fruitiness of the brewer's freshly made brews is unmatched 😀.
It was a delicious sake that was a perfect way to end the Winter Nigorinpik 😇.
Thanks to the Nigorinpic, we have a lot of clear sake left that we haven't had a chance to drink yet, so we'll do our best to open the bottle 😇.
Good evening, Yasbay 🌆.
We also made a reservation but haven't been able to pick it up yet due to lack of fridge space 😭
I'm relieved to hear that it looks delicious 😌.
Looking forward to it😊
Good evening, Yasube!
I also had this one until just now: ⤴️
It was very tasty 😋.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Nigorin pick in the spring 😊.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😀
Actually, this sake was written to be opened as soon as possible on purpose, so we suddenly decided to make it the last of the winter, even though we were planning to turn it into the spring Nigorinpikku 🤣.
I hope you get it as soon as possible 😇
Hi Yasbay, ☀☀☀☀ Winter Nigorin Pick is a big circle ✨️ this one is going to be picked up soon and looks delicious and has high expectations 🤤The range of alcohol activity is similar ☺️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
You are indeed getting it right😇.
But I think this sake is recommended to be opened early, as you can see on the label and in your posts 😀.
Looking forward to your comments on the two early ones 😀.
Good evening, Nai888 😀
Yes, the winter Nigorinpic is successfully over, but we are already planning a spring Nigorinpic 🤣.
I wonder if the stores where you are getting them are similar to ours 🤣.
Yasbay, thank you for your hard work on the Winter Nigorinpic😊.
I love that this is the last one👍✨
I love spring nigori so I'm looking forward to it now🌸
Good morning, Pon-chan 😀
I have successfully completed the Winter Nigorinpic 😀!
However, I still have a cellar full of nigoris from the winter, so I haven't been able to stock up on spring-like nigoris yet 🤣.
It's just the beginning 😅
Winter Nigorinpic 44
I forgot to mention that I visited Aoya Plum Grove the other day with my bento and this Isshaku Suisei Sasanigori before visiting Joyo Sake Brewery in Kyoto 🤣.
I had heard that the plum festival would start the next week, so I thought I could see a few plums, but unfortunately I only saw a few branches 😅.
This Isshuikusuisei Sasanigori was a delicious sake with a robust flavor and fullness, but what surprised me even more was the great value for money 🤣.
What surprised me even more was the great value for money 🤣 What a surprise that such a delicious Sasanigori Special Junmai was priced at 1400 yen!
I feel like I got a great deal 😇
Today's Spring Sake 🍶 is
Light Nigori of "Tenbi".
Since we took the trouble to bring it with us, we opened the bottle at ❗️ in a timely manner.
The first thing to notice is the aroma...it is not that fruity, but a little alcoholic, and the first sip of the supernatant is a little sour and refreshing.
The top clear sip was a little sour and refreshing. After mixing and stirring, the first sourness fades and the sweetness is gone, leaving a clean and crisp taste.
As you continue drinking, the sweetness and umami spread in your mouth in a good balance 🥰.
It's so good that if you keep on drinking it, you'll get drunk in no time 😱.
If I get drunk before commenting, I'll forget the taste, so I'll take a short break to comment 😅.
This pause brings me back to myself and I close the bottle in moderation😅.
If I keep drinking like this, the bottle will be empty in one night😅.
I have to work tomorrow, so I'll call it a day 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Baum!
A sake with a good balance of sweet and savory flavors that will make you want to drink more and more 🎵.
That sounds amazingly delicious ✨
I got mine and I'm looking forward to drinking it more and more after reading your review 😊.
ma-ki-San, good evening 😊I may have raised my expectations too high 😅but it's delicious 😋I've almost never had spring sake before, so for me it was a bit of a shock 🥰I'd like to try some other spring sake 😋.
Today is 2 days before the anniversary of my mother's death😅
That means it's my and Kaorin's 10th wedding anniversary ㊗️
Exactly 10 years ago, my mother was in critical condition, so I rushed to register my marriage with Kaorin and reported it to my mother and could see her relieved face 😀.
But that was the last conversation I had with my mother 🥲.
I was divorced and single at that time, so I hope my mother was a little relieved ❓😅.
Aside from that, I opened a bottle of Jikin-san today as a thank you to my wife😇.
Actually, I have really bad luck with lotteries, but for some reason, I only have good luck with Jikin-san 😇.
The store owner was surprised that I won again 🤣.
Thankfully, I have 5 bottles of Jikin in my house, but today I got the oldest one, Senbon-Nishiki Hi-iri, which was made in August last year😇.
I was so surprised to find out that I have 5 bottles of Jikin in storage at the moment, but today I had the oldest bottle, which was made in August last year and is called Senbon Nishiki Hiiri.
Yasbay, congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary with Kaorin ㊗️🎉I'm sure your mother must have been very happy to see you and Kaorin. And the fact that you can bring the present to the celebration👍Enjoy your time with Kaorin 😊.
Happy 10th wedding anniversary, Yasbee! ㊗️💍🍾
I'm sure your mother is smiling as she watches the two of you touring the breweries☺️
Since your 10th anniversary is a bell wedding, why don't you get matching tin sake cups 😊.
Yasube & Kaorin❤️Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary🎊Cherry blossom colored Senbon Nishiki, a fitting one for this anniversary🌸I think your mother is watching over you both with happiness💕May you be happy all the way🥰.
Good evening, Yasube!
Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary ㊗️🎉🎊Celebrate 🥂, 而now that's wonderful💕I wish you and Kaorin many more happy years ✨I look forward to more sake posts from you two🥰.
Good evening, Yasube & Kaorin😃.
Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary ‼️㊗️🎊💍🍶.
Jikin" is the best on this anniversary👍.
I hope you two continue to enjoy your sake life together ❣️🍶
Good evening, Yasbay!
Happy wedding anniversary🎉!
I didn't know there was such a lapse on your wedding anniversary🍀.
Was the Jikin opening here ✨?
I'm too jealous of your 5 bottles of Jikin 🎵
It was a wonderful anniversary tasting with Jikin!
Congratulations to Yasube & Kaorin on their 10th wedding anniversary 🎉💍.
This is the perfect Jikkai to celebrate 🌸The lineup of drinks is wonderful✨Please continue to enjoy your sake life together 💕.
You have done a wonderful filial duty 🙏✨.
Good morning, Yasube 😃.
Starting with Wakata-san, Maru-san, Jive-san, us and Tsubu-chan! Team anniversary is in February" We have a lot of members 🤗Congratulations again on your wedding anniversary 💍🎉I want my luck now 😍.
Good morning Yasbay 😁.
Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary ㊗️
Your mom must be so happy😊.
And the sake is great with Jikin 😍.
You have 5 more bottles to go 😊 Yasubeyesan loved by Jikin😍.
Hello Yasbaye, ☀️
What a touching wedding story that I heard when I first met Mr. Yasbaye: ☺️
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary 🎊
I wish you both many years of happiness.
Thank you, Aladdin 😀
You are a quintessential know-it-all Aladdin... I've never heard of a bell wedding 🤣.
Since I'm here, I'll look for some drinking vessels😇.
Thank you very much 🙏.
Thank you, Pekho 😀
I am very happy to hear you say so, as you always enjoy talking about sake 😇.
I will continue to enjoy sake and walking as our common hobby 😀.
Thank you, Hina Hana Mama 🙏.
We are always so silly and sorry to talk about our favorite sake, but we are just thankful that we can enjoy drinking sake together 😇.
Thank you, chika 😀
In our case, we became friends through fitness club and wine, and now we enjoy walking and sake😇.
Maybe we don't even need to get along since we have that in common 🤣.
shinsaku 3, thank you 😀
I always look forward to your friendly relay comments 😇
I hope one day I can make relay comments as friendly as the two of you 😇
Thank you very much, ma-ki-🙏.
I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of the Jikin types 😀.
Someday, I'd like to try to compare the different rice types of Jikin, but I'm not sure I can do it 🤣.
Thank you, Pon 🙏.
I think it would have been a real relief for her mother to see me now that things are going on properly 😀.
For that, I'm grateful that Kaorin's mother adores me too 🙏.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😀.
Thank you for including us as anniversary members too 🙇.
We are so happy for your metaphysical luck, but we might be even happier if you get lucky in the lottery too 🤣.
Thank you, Maru-san 😀
I'm sorry I had to tell Maru and Rafa so many stories even though we met for the first time 🙇.
But I don't feel like I'm meeting you for the first time with someone I met at Sake no Wa 🤣.
Good evening, Yasbay 😊.
Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary ㊗️🎉💍✨
Jikin✨ is the best drink on your anniversary 😆👍Your mother must be looking at you two's sake activities☺️
We have a bottle of Senbon Nishiki from the year before 🤣I must drink it soon!
Good evening, Yasbay😄.
Happy wedding anniversary ㊗️💐
I love the sake life of the two of you who are always so close. I'm sure your mother must be happy too. ☺️It's quintessential to have a metaphysical present on your anniversary.
Thank you very much, Tubby 😀.
My mother was not a drinker at all, so she might be appalled at how much I drink 🤣.
By the way, Tsubu-chan's house, from new to old alcohol... how big is your cold storage ❓ 😀 😀
Thank you, Lutertemi 😀.
We have managed to celebrate 10 years together with our common hobby of drinking and walking 🤣.
Usually I can't open a bottle because I think it's too good to waste, but if there's a reason, I have the courage to open it 🤣.
Winter Nigorinpic 28
If we are going to hold the Nigorinpik, we can't miss Hououmida-san.
I chose Hououmida's Akaban Kasumi Sake 😀.
I've had a few bottles of Hououmida, but this is my first time with Akaban Kasumi 🤣.
It has a nice fruity aroma, as expected of a junodai 😀.
I always leave it in the room for a while to let the supernatant and the mixture come to room temperature before drinking, but the room is filled with the fruity aroma😇.
When I put it in my mouth, melon came first, followed by bitter and pungent taste 😀.
As expected of Hououmida, the balance is very good 😀.
I think it's because of nigori that I feel the rice flavor more strongly than usual Hououmida ❓🤣.
But we love nigori, so we prefer this nigori to the regular one 😇.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan🦉.
Akaban haze sake is delicious 🎶, it's good to enjoy it for a long time when it's niggly ❣️
I gave up this year, but I want to drink it again next year😊then I will fill my room with the aroma😆.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Yes, yes! You can't miss Mida 👍.
I had this one last January at the first Tochigi-shu of the year 🤗This sweetness was Swiss-accessible deliciousness!
Good evening, Pon 😀
I lightly wrapped the glass when I left it to play to bring it back to room temperature, but Bida's aroma was better 🤣.
Please try Kochira sake again next year 😇
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
That's what we love about Tochigi: ❤️
This sake was the best sake in Tochigi last year 😇.
Bida-san has a sweet and delicious taste in a robust flavor 😀.
Winter Nigorinpic 21
This is the first Tengu Mai I've ever had, and actually the first Tengu Mai I've ever had other than nigori 🤣.
Just hearing the name Tengu Mai, I had a strong feeling that it was a great sake 😅.
I thought I could handle nigori sake, so this is my first Tengu Mai 😇.
You can't really tell from the picture, but about a third of the bottle is precipitated by the ori 🤣.
It's almost like a dobrok 😅.
Even with this much sedimentation, I was able to get the supernatant 😀.
The supernatant was a solid sake with the atmosphere of Tengu Mai, which is a traditional sake made in the mountains 😀.
As soon as it was mixed with the ori, it transformed into a completely different sake 🤣.
I was really surprised to see such a change in sake for the first time 🤣‼️
It was a very smooth and not so sweet amazake with a strong alcohol content 🤣.
I've never had a sake with such a different taste from the supernatant, and I've never had a sake with this flavor either, so I'm surprised 😀.
I was surprised that I've never tasted such a different sake before 😀 But it was the famous Tengumai that you can't smell the aroma when pouring it with Junmai, but when you drink it, you can even taste the ginjo aroma in the robust flavor😇.
Good morning, Yasube, ☀️
Great lees🤣I also drank a yamahai nigori before with a different label, I wonder if it's the same one?
It was just like a not-so-sweet amazake 😊.
Hi Yasbay 😃
Beautiful label😍The exterior doesn't feel that niggly 🤔Congratulations on such a first Tengu Mai ㊗️ 🎉and soooo interesting review😙No sweetness in the amazake! I'd love to feel it 🤗
Hi Maru 😀
Actually, it was my first time to see Tengumai's Yamahai nigori, so I have never seen the other labels 🤣.
But if you have the same impression as I do, it might just be that the labels are different 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
It was actually quite sloppy and dobrok-like from the moment it was poured into the glass 🤣.
I'm not good at describing it and I'm not sure if I'm conveying it very well, but it's a strange feeling of a sloppy drink, but not too sweet 😅.
Winter Nigorinpic 20
Finally, the Nigorinpik has reached its 20th bottle 😇!
Of course, this is the first time for me to drink Ozeyuki's light nigori 😀.
It has a fruity aroma that is typical of junodai, but the taste is also fruity and melon-like 😀.
The label of this Ozeyuki was a very beautiful green color, so the image of the label may have pulled me in 🤣.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Reached 20 bottles 😳 great!
It's rare for a brewery to designate something like #melon on the back label, but it's definitely melon 😁.
Good evening, Yasbay😄.
I'm already on my 20th bottle! Oze snow here, good one 🥰I've been wanting to try this one but I can't seem to find it 😭 melon🍈, sounds delicious 😍.
Good evening, Yasube! I like the melon type 🩷I think the color of the bottle and the design of the label can have an effect on the sense of taste from the visual sense 😊, but if that's what the creators are aiming for, I can get in on it too 🍈 just reading ❣️ looks delicious🍈.
Good evening Yasbaye 🦉.
20 bottles‼️😳It's great that you collected and drank them 👍✨I haven't been able to catch up with Ozeyuki because they also come in many varieties😅This one looks delicious too❣️
Hi Yasbay 😃.
I'm looking forward to seeing how many bottles you'll go through when you do this 🤗.
I like your style of continuing to compare drinks and opening new ones 👍It's great that you can do this at home 👏.
Hi Aladdin 😀
I visited Aladdin and saw the label on the back and it indeed says #melon 🍈.
I wonder if the brewery was aware of this and made it a beautiful green label ❓😇
But you know it well😇
Hi, HinaHanaMama 😀
The liquor store I frequent has had it in stock for a long time and I hesitated a few times before finally buying it 🤣.
I started nigori stocking early so my fridge was full and I pretty much gave up on some of the sake 😅.
Hi Pekho 😀
Aladdin told me about this and I looked at the back label and it clearly says #melon 🍈.
I wonder if it was the color of the bottle and label to make the drinker think of melon ❓🍈.
Hi Pon 😀
Kaorin and I drink together, so we can drink quite a few bottles for sure😅.
I still have more nigori left to keep than the number of nigori we drank 😅...
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
You have to drink them while comparing them to see the difference 🤣.
I'm actually stocking up on more additional bottles than I'm drinking 😅.
I called for an additional bottle of Nozomu's Active Nigori today😇.
Love Tochigi 😀
Winter Nigorinpic 16
I was reading the posts of many people on Sake-no-wa and many of them said that sake with a hole in the bottle tastes better if you open the bottle as soon as possible.
I had this sake last year and it is still as delicious as ever this year😇.
The delicious fruitiness spread in my mouth 😀.
Kangiku's nigorigo is another delicious sake that I want to drink every year😇.
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
The stores also tell you that you should drink it as soon as possible😊some of them even tape the holes 🤣I remove them on the morning of the day you drink it😁.
Hi Pon, good evening 😀
I've kept the tape that the store put on me, but I've never put it on myself 🤣.
From now on, I'll keep the holey plugs with the tape on them 😀.
Winter Nigorinpik 13
Today we open a bottle of Hirotogawa's nigori.
I was not able to get this sake last year because the release date of Hirotogawa Nigori-ne near my office did not coincide with the day I went to the store, so I never went to the store on the few times it was in stock 🤣.
I knew it was good from your posts but I had my fingers in my mouth for a year 😅.
I finally got it for the first time this year and drank it for the first time😇
It tasted similar to Jikin Nigori. It tasted similar to Jikin Nigori but with more delicious fruitiness 🤣.
Of course, the fact that it was opened later than the Jikin may have made it taste more fruity, but it was just as delicious as rumored 😇
Hi Yasbay 😃.
Congratulations on your first Hiro-chan nigori ㊗️ after a year of wish fulfillment 🎉!
I haven't lifted it yet 😅 we had it last night too 😋 it's really good 👍.
Good evening, Yasube!
Hirotogawa nigori is also highly praised at Sake-no-wa... ‼️ Just when I wanted to get some, I stopped by a liquor store and found it 🤭 so it's waiting in my fridge for me 😊 I'm looking forward to it too ❣️

Merry Xmas💕
As a white lees and bubbles Christmas, I would like to decide on these three bottles for the next three days starting today 😀.
On the first day, the only Christmas nigori bubbles that came to mind was this Ichihaku Suisei😇.
Unfortunately, this sake is only available in Sandeshi, so with Kaorin and I, it was gone in no time 🤣.
It's a nigori bubbly of kijoshu, so it didn't have any sake flavor at all, but it's delicious 😇.
What surprised me more was the peach-colored Kasumi Sparkling by Amezure, which was opened the other day 😀.
It was out of control when I opened the bottle, and it was out of control again today when I shook the bottle to mix the lees 🤣.
Sake is really interesting too😇
Merry Xmas🎄✨, Yasube!
Sparkling Ippaku Suisei in Christmas colors 🥂 and nigori with kijoshu! I like it 😆 I've never had rainfall before so I'm really curious 😳
Have a great Christmas 🥳!
Merry Christmas, Yasbay, 🎄Merry Christmas 🎄That's a very Christmasy lineup of 3 bottles, wow😍I drank this Ippaku Suisei last year and it was a blink of an eye for my family too 😆.
MerryXmas🌲, Kotaro!
I'm sorry to hear that this Isshuisei was too small in quantity 🤣.
I want to drink it more slowly 😀.
I would like to repeat this peach-colored Kasumi Sparkling from Rainfall again too 😀.
MerryXmas🌲, Pon-chan!
Yesterday we had fried chicken and chicken legs for the first time in a long time and the shuwa sake went well with it 😀.
It was sour and fizzy with just the right amount of sweetness and I wanted to drink a lot more 🤣.
