Third bottle I drank last weekend😊.
It's been a while since I drank at home again😅The last time I drank at home was last June, so it's been about a year and a half since I've had Masayo. ‼️
One week ago on this day, Otani exploded ⚾️ with his pitching and hitting 💥 in the legendary game 🥹 that decided the WS appearance!
🏆In his MVP interview, he said "Please drink good sake today🤗" which sounded like "Please drink, Masayo-san" to us 😄It's been a long time since you've been here‼️
In the Sake-no-Wa review, there was talk of it being light and light, and at 14.5 degrees, it was perfect for the third bottle of rehab!
It was over the 2,000 yen barrier 😰, but since Honkin was cheap 🤭, the two bottles together were just right 🤭.
I'll make love to you
The aroma is fresh and grapey 😌.
I'll make love to you and drink it! It's delicious 😋 Hmmm? I was a little surprised because I thought it was a dry wine 🫢 but it has a clean aftertaste 😙It's fresh and has a nice sweetness 😇Masayo is a master 👍.
Adjustments to J&N international standards are coming along nicely 👋
And now the World Series has finally started🏟️World Series‼️The mood was bad after the first game loss, but today's great pitching by Yamamoto-kun⚾️ will bring us back to home base in a good mood😄I may not be able to get any work done after next Tuesday 😆.
Jay & Nobby, it's Gagakuyo, isn't it? The sweetness is definitely not so much in the second half and there is a lightness to it. I think it's a good blend of modern and classic 😊I'm curious about the Dodgers too! I have some sake ready for the victory celebration.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby â
⚾️ both the majors and the Japan series are good 😊.
I'm a G though 😭
I'm sorry you've been sick 😭 I haven't had sake in a while and I haven't had masayo in a while 😍👌.
I'm so confused 😅. I'm confused😅
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Hey, it's been a while since I've had Masayo 🎵.
I've never had Zuika, but it looks delicious with a refreshing sweet taste 🤤.
I hope you win the WS ⚾ somehow, one win ⚾ one loss 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
Masayo, please have a drink 😆 That's what it sounded like! I know that feeling in many ways 😉.
Masayo-san has a light and dry image for me too 😅that's why it's hard for me to reach out 💦.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Masayo, it seems to be sweet for you, Jay & Nobby 💦.
I haven't tried Zuika yet and would like to if I get the chance 😊.
I've brought the World Series to five minutes, so it's just the beginning: ⚾️
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛Masayo has a light image and I'm curious about it, but I've been avoiding it ⚾️J&N If the sweetness is detected by international standards, I might be able to drink it 🤤I'll debut it when I find Zuika🍶.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌝.
Mr. Otani, you are so active that I am proud to be born in the same year of 1994, and you cheer me up every time 🙇♂️
Masayo-san, the nigori I drank in the winter is delicious and has a nice, clear, light flavor 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Otani, you did a great job! I'm so proud of you as a Japanese 🥰Masayo, I haven't had it yet but it looks delicious 🥰Yamamoto pitched a great complete game today 😍We can't take our eyes off the WS ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
You won comfortably today! I love it when you say good drinks and Mr. Masayo comes out with a quick one 😆👍.
I've been meaning to update the compromise price, but haven't been able to 💦.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
Masayo from where you two originated, I thought I hadn't seen you two post for a while but I didn't realize there was such a long pause 🤣.
This is a fitting drink to celebrate Otani's great success😇.
Good morning Jay & Nobby ☀🙋♂️❗
It sure is hard to get work done, isn't it?
If we win the next game, Otani is scheduled to start Game 4 ❕🥰.
I'm looking forward to which sake I'm going to open when we win the World Champion!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I hope the Dodgers win the championship with the success of Japanese players 😁 Otani's sake recommendation? I have to buy some for when they win 🏆 because Masayo-san doesn't have it in his fridge ❗️🤣
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
You and Masayo are a luxury rehab 😆.
Only results for the WS, but we are happy and sad 😊.
We are thrilled to see Yamamoto pitch a complete game 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
It seems you were sick a while ago 🥺 but I'm glad to see you are all back! I hope the Dodgers will win the championship with the success of Japanese players too 🙂.
Good evening, Mr. Sashiu 😃.
It is our Mr. Masayo! I'm so glad you're already preparing the victory drink 😋.
It's great that you have already prepared a victory celebration drink 🤗 I'm curious what's waiting for you ‼️
Good evening, Ao 😃.
I'm totally obsessed with MLB😅I didn't even know the Japan Series had started 😆.
If I remember you by your nickname "Masayo-san" 🤔I might not be able to remember your real name "Utashiro" 😆.
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I am very happy to hear from you! Definitely "Please drink the delicious Masayo!" I think she was saying 😄.
We have a batch of Masayo-san 😙 I think the low-alcoholic Hiyori-san and others are easy to drink 👋
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
Our sense of taste is coming back 😋I think Masayo's here is a bit sweet 😙 a bit expensive 😅.
4 wins in the World Series is still a long way off!
Good evening, Chirsta 😃.
I'm so glad you're here! It's awesome 😃‼️ It's a bit too much and I'm beyond surprised 😅.
Chester, you should hold a bottle of sweet sake in each of your right and left hands and talk about the two-sugar style 🤗.
Good evening, ichiro18!
It was really great 😳I can't help but hate him for throwing and hitting so many times 😅and still have a frustrated look on my face 😅It's not fair that I can't hate him for that 😆N Yamamoto's perfect pitch was refreshing too 😢.
I hope you'll give it a try 👋
Good evening, Pon 😃.
From the moment I was listening to the interview I was thinking 🤔 it's Masayo tonight 😋 I think that's what it sounded like 😄.
The price hikes are tough 😓 lately I've been adjusting my additions to be within the acceptable range.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
As a Masayo-san foster parent ⁉️, I would like to drink more 🥲 but the liquor store that sells it is far away 😩.
But I thought I need to drink regularly!
Just looking back at this great activity makes me drink more 😦.
Good evening, Kuri, the Morinin 😃.
Yes 😅If we win tomorrow at Glasnow and the day after tomorrow at Otani, we still have only one more victory 🤔We have a long way to go, but we have to prepare something good to drink 🤗.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
The playoff series has been very successful for the 3 Japanese players! I hope they will continue to push forward 🤗.
Mamiko also recommended Masayo (I don't know her 😆 ) I'd like to make a toast to all of you when you win the championship: ‼️
Good evening Kano 😃.
Masayo helped me rehabilitate from low al sweet and sour to light sweet and sour 🤗.
Weekdays are going to be a job of glancing at text information on the net 😅I hope I can get a pleasant win tomorrow first 🙏.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening 🤩.
Otani is very active 🏏Two home runs today ⚾️ and a starter tomorrow 🤩I'm looking forward to seeing you 🏏...
I'm curious about the high-class Masayo 🤤🤤.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby: ☺️
Masayo 🙌
Masayo-san is so nice and gentle to your recovering body ♡.
Is this a porridge-like position in the sake world?
No 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌉I've been curious about Gara Gyo but haven't had a chance to try it yet 🍶.
I'll definitely buy it and try it next time I see it!
Good evening, Nokoaki 😃.
You should drink it, Masayo 🤗.
Yes, I have! There are many different flavors 😋 Please refer to the sakewa post and give it a try 😋.
The series of long time no see series continues😅!
It's been about two and a half years since I've had a bottle of Motokin-san's home brew since I got it on my Nagano sake trip!
Since it's the second bottle for rehabilitation, we thought it would be nice to have a lighter one 😙, so we chose this one 🤗It's a nice bottle with a light price too 🤗.
I'll make love to you
The aroma is sweet and fruity 😌.
The aroma is sweet and fruity 😌 and when you take a sip, you'll see it's another Ambassa type with a strong sweetness 😋.
It's quite sweet, but it has a nice acidity that covers the sweetness 😙 It's a low alcohol sake at 13 degrees, so it's perfect for rehabilitative drinking as I was aiming for 😄.
By the way, it was Nobby's birthday 🎂 over a week ago 🥲 on Sunday, October 12!
We had planned to get together at Ichikawa that day and celebrate 🎊 with everyone, but... as I mentioned in my previous post, Nobby got sick from the previous Thursday and we had to give up 😓, and from Friday night Jay had the same symptoms😱.
Neither of them had corona or flu, but it was like something was sitting in the back of their nose and throat and making them cough 😩.
But it was my birthday and I had to cheer myself up ‼️ so I took out the "Unaju" for lunch that day🤗.
I also bought a cake while I went to pick it up, and we celebrated with coffee☕&cake🍰 after lunch without alcohol🥹.
Happy Birthday to Nobby 🎂🎊🎉!
I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, but I was still touched by the friendship between the two of you celebrating your anniversary: ☺️
I'd love to try the modern label and flavor that doesn't look like Honkinese gold 🤤.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Happy Birthday, Nobby 🎉!
I heard you were sick in a recent post, but I didn't realize it was your birthday 💦.
But you've been rehabilitated with low al👍.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Happy Birthday to Nobby 🎉!
I know you had a hard birthday due to your poor health😅But as expected of Jay👍you celebrated well😊Eel, cake & coffee to your heart's content!
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
Happy Birthday Nobby 🥳It was unfortunate that your birthday coincided with your health problems...but we are glad to hear that you have recovered & resumed your drinking activities with the power of eels 💪😎👍️
Happy Birthday 🎂 Happy Birthday to you, Nobby 🎉🎊I'm sorry you've been sick 😢 but I'm glad you were able to celebrate without alcohol: ☺️
I wonder if you are starting to transition from rehab to 🍁 drinking 🤔🤭 Let's not overdo it and have fun 🤗.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby 😄.
I adore you, Mr. Nobby 💖 Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎊How are you feeling? I think your posts are a great support for everyone in Sakewa ☺️ You two are really important to me 🥰.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I too have fond memories of having Honkin-san from Kochira in the summer and it was delicious 😀.
I'm sorry you both had a hard time on Nobby's birthday because you were both sick 😅.
I'm a little disappointed that there is no sake 😅.
Good morning, Jay and Nobby 😊.
Happy Birthday to you, Nobby 🎉!
But I feel like a liar 😱.
My wife's birthday is October 11 and mine is March 31 🥳I feel selfishly close 🥰.
Jay & Nobby.
Good morning...oh wow...it was Nobby's birthday! I see it was Nobby's birthday 🤩🤩Congratulations ㊗️ I'm glad you are both feeling better! Corona, flu, and mycoplasma pneumonia are all going around...💦.
Jay & Nobby, when your body is weak, eel is the best.
When you are weak, eel is the best. I hope you have a good day.
Take care of yourself. I'll be back soon 😋.
I want to go to Shiroyaki.... I want to go to the restaurant 🤩🤩.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Happy Birthday to Nobby ㊗️🎊✨Eel and cake, looks like you'll have a great recovery ☺️
The rehab book gold looks delicious too - glad you both are feeling better👍🎉!
Happy Birthday, Nobby🎊Happy Birthday to both of you😥.
I hope you are feeling better now that you are in Eel Sama, but please take care of yourself 🏥.
I envy you because we don't see Honkin here very often 🤤.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby 😊.
Happy Birthday to you, Nobby 🎉!
Celebrating with eels and cake is wonderful ✨.
Are you feeling okay?
Please take care of yourselves both as the season is changing😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃😃.
Happy Birthday, Nobby 🎂🎉I'm gutted you're not feeling well, but I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a big deal. I'm glad you were able to celebrate with Unaju, cake & coffee 😆.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃Happy Birthday to you Nobby 🎂🎉 Eels and cake, nice celebratory lunch 💕👍Honkin I don't know how many years I haven't had it either, such a modern label too ❣️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😁.
Happy Birthday, Nobby 🎉!
You did a great job preparing the cake 😄.
I'm impressed that you chose Honkin-san as your drink of choice 😆.
Jay & Nobby Happy Birthday to Nobby ㊗️ Eel and Honkin-san 😄 Did you lose to the eel because of the low al? It's nice to celebrate with a lot of people, but it's also nice to spend it with just the two of you!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Happy Birthday, Nobby 🎉!
You had a tough birthday this year💦.
We are glad to hear that you are recovering gradually🍀.
I hope you are recharged well with the gold & eels!
Jay & Nobby 🩷Good morning ‼️Happy birthday 🎊 to Nobby ㊗️ Are you both feeling better already? I hope the eel will restore your stamina 💪.
I heard it's good to make a wish and eat it 🍓🥰.
Hi Aladdin 😃Thank you 😊.
I think this might be the first birthday without alcohol 🎂 I also thought, what? I thought it was Honkin ⁉️ at the liquor store😇It was reasonably priced and delicious 😃...
Hello freelancer first generation man 😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, I'm back to full recovery after my rehab drinking with the power of Japanese Eel Jyu! I'm fully recovered after rehab sake with domestic eel power 🤗!
Hi Takashi 😃Thank you 😊.
Oh! I didn't realize that you and your husband had a birthday a day before ours 😳This means we have to have a joint birthday party 🍶🤗.
Hi Hiro 😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, I'm glad it didn't take too long 😓! It was a bit prolonged 😓 but I'm glad it didn't get too heavy 😮💨 These celebrations are also good 🤗
Hi Wakata 😃Thank you 😊.
The eel stew makes me hungry 😅It was an energizing celebratory meal 😅‼️ Kochira was a delicious one with a sour taste that is typical of Honkin 🤗.
Hi Pekho 😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, I am very happy to hear that you are doing well 🍶! As for the drinking 🍶, I'm 120% recovered 🤗The strawberries 🍓 on my cake 🍰 were halved, so maybe my wish will be halved too 😅.
Happy belated birthday to Jay & Nobby and Nobby 🎉🎂!
It was hard for you to be sick 😢 glad to hear you are on the mend 🥹.
Smooth, did you pass the J&N standards as well! 😊
Hi Pon 😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, I'm feeling great and drinking now 🤗! I am currently feeling perfect and drinking it 🤗.
It was smooth and acidic to drink, so it passed J&N standards - ‼️
I had put it on my shopping list for Novy after reading your review 😁 but it was sold out at a few liquor stores 😢 I was about to give up for this season 😩 when I was looking at the fridge at a liquor store a little further away....
What? There was only 2 bottles left, but I got it in a hurry ‼️
I was going to drink it 😅at first, but then I saw on Sakewa that it was Sake Day, so I decided to open a bottle of Yamasan Spark that I had been keeping in the fridge 🤗! I've been in sakewa for 5 years now.
I've been drinking sake for 5 years now and every year I forget about "Sake Day" 😓.
I'll make love to you now ♬The expectations are high as it's poured into a Riedel glass 😊.
The aroma is fresh and citrusy 😌.
The first sip of this wine is a bit of a surprise, and the flavor spreads to a fresh acidity! The bitter taste is then released 😋.
In the Sake-no-wa report, Ymdaz said that the balance was improved by letting it sit for a day, and Kotaro also said that he felt a Mori🧐-like flavor.
We too were like, "Should we stop and put a lid on it now?"
"Hmm? I'm drinking it now, so it's the last one. ⁉️"
Yes~. J&N can't adjust their drinking speed 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
What a coincidence, we opened a bottle of the same today 😆.
It's so good it's hard to drink too much 😅.
It doesn't stop at all!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇You are missing a word in your review...
Please add a note that these chestnuts are from Ibaraki Prefecture❗️❤️
Even if they are not from Ibaraki, please add that they are from Ibaraki: ❤️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌝.
I like Yamazan ✨
I'm sad that there are no liquor stores in my neighborhood that carry it 🥺.
I totally understand the habit of drinking too much gassy alcohol!
I find myself with empty liquor bottles lying around 😂.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄!
Yamasan Sparkling, it's hard to stop in the middle 😆 Bubbles bubbles 🫧 are so gobby! I wonder if this is dry for both of you 💦 I'll have to wait until you're a bit more mature 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛I thought it was a nice Yamasan, but I didn't know it was sparkling 😳🤤But a dry sparkling 😅It's as siblingly as the label suggests: ✨️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I tried to stop and it was almost gone 😁Yamasan😁 must be delicious😍It was worth the trip to the liquor store! Saito Sake Shop, you're so close to Nasu, you had to go far!
Jay & Nobby Good evening😄I'm curious about the Yamasan Sparkling! Even Yamasan is delicious, but sparkling? It was worth finding it far away, wasn't it? And I'm glad you noticed the sake day.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😃.
We haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in Yamasan 🥲.
It's so special when you can stretch your legs and GET it ✨.
I also rush to pick up the brand I want 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I have yet to try Yamazan's sparkling wine, so I am very interested in it😇.
This year, they have a new distributor in Kansai, so this is one bottle I definitely want to bring to you 😇.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby! I also learned about Sake Day for the first time this year - lol!
I've never encountered Yamazan-san yet, so I'm really looking forward to drinking it! Fruity acidity and umami, I like it ✨.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
Oh ✨Great to get a ras2 😆 Fresher to dry as you said, it will go well with your 📷 meal 🤤.
Sorry to say that every time you get the Yamasan 🌳🌳 🤣 it's unstoppable deliciousness 👍.
Hello, Jay & Nobby!
Yamazan sparkling has a good reputation 🎵
I guess it's hard to carry over a four-pack at the speed you two are drinking 😁✨✨.
I forgot about sake day too 😅
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening.
I'm not familiar with the Yamazan label color!
I see you also have a sparkling one! I'd love to try this 🤤 I'm one of those people who always forgets about Sake Day and only notices when you post 🤣.
Hi Manachie 😃
You are quirky, aren't you? Great answer 🎊It's from Ibaraki 🌰‼️ I haven't even mentioned chestnuts, but you're very perceptive 😅.
Gentlemen! Ibaraki Prefecture is the number one chestnut producing region in Japan in terms of both cultivated area and amount of chestnuts shipped 🤗.
Hi chika 😃
I definitely wanted to drink it when I saw it on Sake no Wawa ‼️ every weekend is like a sake day 😅I guess in a way I haven't forgotten about it 😄
Hi ichiro18 😃
It was unstoppably good 🤗.
I went to the liquor store thinking there wouldn't be any left 😓 so I was quietly thrilled to meet you 🚙 ‼️Saito-san, you are far away but you make me want to go there!
Hello Yasbaye 😃
This is one bottle that I would love to see added to the Yasbay family lineup! Glad to hear you have a distributor in the Kansai area 🤗.
Hi Kotaro 😃
I gave up but finally I got it 🤗 The whole enemy from the ‼️ label was a collection of brownish ones.
I didn't get to 🌳 but it was 😅 delicious 😙.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 We gave this one to our family the other day! It's a drinkable deal, I know 😅I felt it was more ricey than most sparkling and I couldn't get enough of it 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
The three mountain sparks, you killed it in a blink of an eye 😃.
Well, you two are the best 🤣.
You had to buy up the last two bottles to taste the changes after opening the bottle 😉.
Jay & Nobby
I'm glad you went to Yamazan.
It's one of my favorite brands too.
However, I have never had the sparkling one 🙄.
I hope you will try "Hitogokochi" next time.
It's delicious!
Very strong carbonation! 😳
It was a delicious sake with a light fruity pear taste...dry and refreshing 😉.
It's hard to tell from the picture and not so much when mixed, but I think I may have never seen a sand beige-ish oli color like a tropical sandy beach before 🙄.
The aroma is gentle and classical and modern combined 😌 The more you drink it, the more appleiness and freshness of whey can be gradually felt 😌 It is a delicious sake.
All Milky Queen 🍚😳
Lightly cloudy and sweet shuwa ♡♡♡
I like the pear-like aroma with a slight bitter fruity taste...
For lunch, I had the chashu-men, a thick (medium thickness noodle) dish that recharged my power 😆.
Good morning, Kotori 😊
The back fat is the best ‼️😍I haven't had ramen for a while.
I haven't eaten ramen for a while, so I want to go. I'd love to go 🥰.
Hello, Kotori-san!
The humid lingering summer heat is making me crave refreshing drinks like this 🥰.
I also like the ramen noodles, which are inversely proportional to the sake pictures 🍜.
Good evening, Mr. Kotori 🌙
The other day I drank another brand of sparkling Milky Queen 🥳 It was sweet and sour and schwarzly, so I would like to drink this one too 🤤 It is also chewy and delicious to eat 😆 lol
Hi Manachie 🐥.
I'm a bit of a "oil-first" person, but I've been thinking about it for a while now. I'm practicing oil-first, with a light breakfast and lunch and a light dinner 🤭.
Hello, Hanapin-san 🐥.
Ehhh...you haven't eaten ramen for a while...are you in training? You haven't eaten ramen for a while...are you in training⁈🥺It's all about fat and meat to stay healthy🤗I can't wait for the ramen ban to be lifted 😋!
Hi Jive 🐥.
The lingering summer heat and unstable weather make the difference between cold and hot very intense 😩 It was perfect for my taste for a schwa liquor with a slight sweet and sour taste ♡ 🍜 too 😉 It's important to have a good balance 😆.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo 🐥.
I think I'm going to be exhausted if I skip lunch 😱Please rest in moderation even if you are busy 🥺Please put your health first to have a good drink 😉☝🏻
Hello Mr. Kotaro 🐥.
I'm also interested in the Milky Queen that you drank... 👀I thought the bottle was tiny... but it was a 500ml bottle ⁈It's a little pricey, but it was a delicious sake with a refreshing taste made with white malted rice 😉 ♡ Please try it 😉.
I chose Honkin from the Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, a sake I had never tried before, which I was taken to the Saito Sake Shop when I visited the Nasu area.
The production date was 0707.
The rice used is 100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture.
Rice polishing ratio is 55%.
Alcohol level is 16 degrees Celsius
Heated in a bottle
Sake strength is +3 with a slightly dry taste and a clean finish.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gentle and calm, with citrusy tones like lime and tangerine, and a slight floral coolness. After a while, the sweetness of steamed rice, typical of Omachi, wafts softly through the air.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a very light golden color and is light and refreshing.
When you take a sip, you will feel a soft sweetness with a calm mouthfeel. The richness and fullness of Omachi's typical umami spreads out gradually. It has a good balance between a grain-like puffiness and a hint of sweetness, and the lingering aftertaste of calm acidity and bitterness makes it a perfect food sake.
I am sure that this is the first time I have purchased a Takachiyos by myself!
I had high expectations for this product because of your high evaluation.
The taste,
Mmmm, refreshing, clean, fruity🌸(with respect)
From the aroma, to the hints, to the aftertaste 😂.
Fresh and tingling!
In the mouth it's fruity and juicy, just like a pineapple 😆.
No lingering aftertaste and well balanced 😍.
I'm now a Takachiyo fan ✨
Checking in for the first time in Toyama Prefecture😄.
This is a bottle of raw Haneya Junmai Ginjo brewed by Tomikiku Shuzo. It is fire-aged before storage and then bottled and shipped raw without being fire-aged at the time of shipment. It is brewed in the spring, matured in the summer, and shipped in the fall, which is called hiyaoroshi.
The rice used is Gohyakumangoku produced in Toyama Prefecture.
Rice polishing ratio is 60
Alcohol level is 14 degrees Celsius.
Sake degree +5
Only one time of fire-fermentation and bottled fresh
The aroma when the bottle is opened is fresh, citrusy, clear, mild, and refreshing. The hint of aroma is fruity like a pear, but with a calm smell.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a very light golden color and a smooth and silky texture.
When you take a sip, the soft sweetness and fresh acidity spread in your mouth. It is light and clear with a rounded flavor. The sweetness is swollen with a clean umami derived from sake rice, but the sweetness, acidity, and umami are well balanced, and the roundness from aging adds depth to the umami.
The aftertaste is moderately acidic, and the flavor profile is clear and disappears quickly. It has a light and crisp finish with both sharpness and softness without any cloying flavors.
Personally, I think you can enjoy the harmony of the balance of umami and acidity more at room temperature than when it is chilled and fresh 😆.
Good evening, Daddy Takel!
Congratulations on your first check-in in Toyama Prefecture🎉!
Toyama is a memorable place where I traveled with my parents last year 🎵
Haneya, the label here is unbought but looks delicious 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you very much for your comment 😊Toyama is an unexplored place. I envy your trip with your parents. This hiyaoroshi is really delicious with a sense of maturity that rounds out the flavor.
The aroma is unique.
I felt that there was something chemical like perm solution or hair dye used in beauty salons mixed in with the aroma and taste. I can't stop thinking about my neighborhood hair salon from the beginning to the end 😂If you can separate that from the flavor, it has a herbal green vegetal taste and a fresh bitter sour taste similar to white grapefruit.
The gassiness is nice and lively, and although it weakens a bit in the second half, I was able to enjoy it all the way through to the end.
As the alcohol and gas gradually evaporated and weakened, the unique aroma faded, so I wonder if it would have been better to leave the lid open for a bit when storing it 🤔.
Hi Kotori 😃
A drink with a unique aroma 🍶, I'm sure the aroma would bother you😇.
If you go to the waiting room of a beauty salon and drink it, it will simply taste like fresh bitter acid 🤣.
Hi Hiro, good evening 🐥.
If it's an ingredient used in beauty salons, is it close to sulfide smell? I wonder how it would have been if you tried to warm it up or shake it... force the gas and aroma 😅 for sure! It might have canceled it out and you could have simply tasted the fresh deliciousness 😂.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🐥.
It was a bottle shaped like this so it fit nicely in the door pocket of the fridge!
Shampoo hat 🧴 too nostalgic 〰︎🤣I used it so much that it started ripping from the inside and became loose and graduated 😄.
Bathing in the sunlight~ You laugh without any shame~ 🎵
I was taking a shower and suddenly I was humming B'z....OCEAN...oh how I miss it. I was so nostalgic 😃.
On a day like that, here's OCEAN99✨
I was lost because I've been drinking every day, but I won't let go of this hand that clutched the bottle 😭.
Now the taste,
I don't feel the aroma so much.
But when I put it in my mouth, it has a sweetness like apple 🍎 and a gentle slight tingle 😆.
When the tingling goes away, it's like apple + melon 😆.
Clears up nicely leaving a slight acidity 😂.
I knew it OCEAN~, Kangiku, delicious ✨.
Hi Yasusake 😃
I had to look up OCEAN because the text seemed to be casually planted with lyrics 👀.
I wasn't clutching a bottle of booze 🤣.
Thanks to your post I'm a little more familiar with B'z 🤗
Good evening, Hiro-san!
You also looked up OCEAN of B'z😁.
I arrived at Kangiku's OCEAN from the news Kaiba => Umizaru => B'z's OCEAN lol.
I'd like to grab something that isn't a sake bottle 😆.
I found this handsome bottle on a local liquor store's e-commerce site.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish the bottle, but after a few days of thinking about it, I decided to pick it up 🤗.
Every time I open the bottle, the residual gas pushes up the stopper and the low sound is heard 😑! Even on the third day, microbubbles adhered to the glass and made it pizzle 🫧.
Rich koji aroma and sweet aroma reminiscent of cherry drop 🤧 It took me 5 days to finish it, but it was a delicious sake with the richness and chili of the original sake, even though it is 13 degrees C. 👍🏻
The third one, isn't it thicker than disposable chopsticks? The noodles were hand-rubbed to make them extra-thick and very satisfying 😋.
Good evening, Kotori-san.
Good job on finishing the bottle 😊.
The Yongo was a screw so it didn't fly away, but it had a strong gassy feeling when opened 😁.
Looks delicious with thick noodles like Kitakata ramen 😋.
Hi Kotori 😃
I was wondering about Senkusuke-san 🥹basically we don't do potty and I haven't been able to visit Saito-san 😢 good shopping! Might go there this week.
Hi bouken 🐥.
Screw's are good for your hands 🖐🏻 not to get sore. Shubok! It was quite gassy and tasty all the way through 😚 Check out this brand 😉 I was surprised that the ramen was thicker than ever before 😂.
Hi Jay and Nobby 🐥.
Mr. Saito, Google says it takes a little over an hour from my place using the highway😇It's definitely delicious, but I think it would be sweet for Mr. Nobby 🤔I hope you get to meet him during the holidays 🐢🤭.
