Mellow aroma like sweet strawberries, thick and glossy sweet and sour taste, and koji aroma. It is very rich. It also has a pineapple-like flavor. The richness of 17 degrees Celsius made me fall asleep.
It's been a long time since I've had a black cow❗
I went to Saito-san over the weekend and found Kurogyu (Kurogyu 🐃) for the first time in a long time, and it was a Junmai Ginjo from Omachi, raw 😲!
I'll have it right away 🙏.
The aroma is gorgeous when poured into a glass.
In the mouth, it smells like grapes or lychee? Like lychee? Fruity sweetness spreads. It is not too strong, but has a slight sourness and a bit of bitterness on the palate, but it is very refreshing.
It's good enough to drink alone. ⤴️
It would be great with black wagyu beef 😃.
Hi YasuSake 😃
I had an image that Kurogyu is high in alcohol content and doshy 😅 but this one seems to be able to go on its own 🤗.
Kuroge Wagyu for short: ⁉️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
It's definitely higher in alcohol content and weight, but I'm not that bothered by it (can't tell) 😆.
I'm sure it would be better with meat dishes 🆗, but on its own ❕.
Fine gas fills the glass. The ginjo aroma was glossy and melon-like, the flavor was juicy and sweet, reminiscent of strawberry syrup, and the richness 🤩 was slightly mellow, but the tangy gasiness remained and was delicious all the way through.
The aroma is slightly sweet and soft on the palate, with a pleasantly tangy gasiness that clings to the tongue. The sweetness of the rice is slightly sweetened with a hint of grapes and syrup. The back palate has a gentle acidity and a full-bodied flavor. It is so delicious that you can drink it all the time.
This time the rice flavor was impressive... maybe I left it too long 🙄.
The aquamarine bluish bottles are very nice.
The fruity aroma reminds one of yellow peaches, and the gentle sweetness, tangy and light gassiness, and lingering acidity and astringency are pleasant and make the drink go down a treat.
Eririn-chan💕 Good morning 😊The next day was sweet with an accentuated sweetness 😋.
I'm curious to know how it happened 😳.
I'm always envious of you for visiting nice places where you can drink rare sake 🤭.
THE ARANAMI, made only in years when the rice does not melt, is said to be dry and sharp...but it has a slightly sweet and fruity mouthfeel with a hint of lychee and muscat. The bitter and sour taste is followed by a time lag....
I found an interesting snack at Seven! ←I found an interesting snack at Seven! A little bit moist, like a wet noodle. The sweet sauce and the spicy flavor are very tasty. I ate it up in one bite 😋The amount is too small 😭.
Yamasan, Yamasan 😆
This is another bottle that I bought at Saito-san last month and put to sleep.
When I opened the bottle, there was a puff of gas ❗
The aroma is fresh and spicy? The aroma is fresh and spicy....
It has a tangy, fresh mouthfeel with just the right amount of sweetness 🍎.
A little bitterness, but it goes down smoothly and easily 😍.
Not too sweet, this is good 🍶.
I'll let it sit for a bit and see how it changes 😋.
3.11 I am thankful that people who were affected by the disaster and those who are still evacuated are able to spend their days in peace☺.
Today I bought a bottle of Mutsu Hachisen at Saito-san ‼️
The aroma is sweet and fresh.
A little tangy as if it were fresh, with a soft sweetness 🍎🍏 that spreads on the palate.
Moderately refreshing aftertaste🙆.
Very tasty😃.
Good morning, YasuSake 😃!
I'm really thankful for my daily life where I can drink alcohol in peace 😌 and in the midst of it all 😁Congratulations on your 100 check-in ㊗️ 🎉Yasen is delicious 😋.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Peace is really the best. ☺️
Thank you - I couldn't even prepare an elaborate drink, so quiet... 😂.
Like a certain royal family? I did a little photo manipulation 😁.
Good morning, YasuSake 😃.
And congratulations on your milestone 100 check-ins🎊.
I like Hakusen too because it tastes good no matter which one you drink👍.
YasuSake Good evening (^o^) Congratulations on your 100th check-in 😊Happy March 11 with Tohoku sake! That's wonderful😄It's important to remember forever.
Congratulations to YasuSake for checking in at ㊗️100🎊I like the special feeling of the Urahasen 🤗I opened the pink label too, wishing you 3.11 and peace... 😌.
Good evening, Kotori-san!
Thank you very much 😃.
I feel like there are more and more backs lately, but I knew the backs would be special✨.
The pink label is nice too👍
Wishing you peaceful days 😄
Thanks for the good drink...
It smells like ripe tropical fruit.
It has a pineapple and mango skin taste... it's like Popeau all together 😚.
Thick and thick... aromatic, rich and fruity, with a hint of malted rice flavor, and a slight saltiness in the aftertaste, like a hidden taste.
Chicken shiranyu and leek dumplings. I like the texture of Sano ramen-like handmade noodles with high water content.
The sweetness of vegetables and the mild potage-like thickness. I drank up all the soup 😋.
Popo! I am impressed because I have no one to share the taste of Popo with! I've never had a cold chrysanthemum here, but I can only perfectly predict the taste ✨.
Mayu, good morning 😊I agree with you! I grew up in Tochigi and pawpaw is a fruit I've been familiar with since childhood and I was shocked to find a sake with such a flavor 😳I especially felt it when I tasted Kido's Jun Dai40 😚.
The new sake has a popo in sight, doesn't it? If you can find a sake with all the popo, you don't need a knob, it's a fruit 🤭KID, surely there will be popo!
One summer day, I went to the supermarket to do some shopping. The aroma of fine sake wafted through the air, and I headed for the aroma to find a line of ripe pawpaw 🤣.
From the supernatant...silky gasiness and a taste reminiscent of fresh lychee. It is truly a "casual sake" with a sweet taste. Slightly minerally.
With each pour, the bitterness gradually increases as the oriels mingle with the sake, giving it a full-flavored taste!
First time? I got some Mimuro cedar.
I was curious about it because of all the good reviews☺.
The aroma is moderately fruity 🍎.
I drank it and it was still fruity 🍎? 🍈?
It has a good balance of moderate sweetness and refreshing sourness. It is not too strong and refreshing, so you can drink more and more ❗
Well, I bought a fridge and it can only hold 9 bottles of four-packs, but I'm looking forward to my next purchase 😂.
Good evening, YasuSake 😃.
First Mimuro cedar? Congratulations 🎉and you bought a fridge🤩‼️ I like it 🥹I wonder which one of these is a candidate for Kiri number 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
This is my first Mimuro cedar 😃.
I bought a refrigerator😍I tried to put it in the living room but it was rejected ⚡ it went to the storage room lol.
I just realized I'm on the edge of my seat... and I'm lost 😂.
I'll keep uploading at my own pace 🎵
Hi, Tsubu!
It has been taking over the vegetable room so far, so I'm crying, I'm withdrawing and moving to a new house 😂Next Killi number, but I can't make such a clever choice 😱.
I'll greet you normally 🎵
I was surprised by the energetic opening sound on the first day and the next day. I like the chili gas feeling.
Sweetness, umami, a little bit thick and drinkable. The gentle aroma of koji malt and a hint of bitterness reminiscent of citrus fruits.
Good morning, Kotori 😃!
Oh, you've been to wakamusumehana-tachibana! You went to wakamusumehana-tachibana ‼️ 🤗we love it too 😍we even go a long way to Saito-san to get it 😆.
Good morning, Kotori-san😄
It's delicious 🤤Slightly cloudy, sweet and delicious, with just the right amount of gas and a hint of bitterness... I wanted to drink a bottle instead of going out 😌.
Now I want to buy a bottle and enjoy it slowly 🍶.
Good evening, Kotori-san!
This was the citrus 🍊 sake that got me hooked too!
I think Wakamusume is a great sake, you can't go wrong with any of their sake 👍.
Aladdin, good evening 😊I went back and looked and saw that it was the same time in November 🍶. I would love to go to a stylish bar like Chuin's and have a quick drink outside 🤭.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan😊I missed out on the Ruri Karakusa and the Hana Tachibana was my first Wakamusume! It was fizzy, slightly dark, and a bit tasty 😚 I'd love to try it 💕.
Haruei Chichi, good evening 😊It was good until I was able to pick it up, but I had to wait my turn with other sake in the fridge to open it in order of production date 😅I heard they have Junmai Daiginjo's too...I can't take my eyes off it 🤤.
I had planned to take the first half of this week off, but I was feeling like having a drink 😚 The devil's Wednesday for the restless 😆 I came home, looked at the dining table, and said, "I guess I should have a light drink." I thought, "Let's have a light drink!
And we chose this 12 degrees low alcohol drink! Mr. Abe 🤗
First of all, the label looks like a beautiful landscape painting! It looks more like a wine than a sake 😊.
I'll make love to you
The first sip has a juicy mouthfeel with a rush of umami, followed by a lemon water-like taste with a lot of umami that soaks into your body 😊The acidity of the white rice and the umami of the rice are pleasantly light and gassy, with a clear and clean aftertaste 😌.
The light and delicious taste made the cup go down like a shooting star 🌠 in the blink of an eye 🥹.
I found out that the target audience for this brand, which is not Hiragana "Abe", is "women in their 20s and 30s who have not been exposed to sake" 🤔...hmm ⁉️ I'll tell them that sake lovers in their 50s are also in their target audience 😆 ‼️
No - but abe is all good 😋.
[Celestial Uncle 🔭Jay's Trivia Corner
Regulus is a first magnitude star 🌟 in the constellation Leo, and is actually the faintest of the 21 first magnitude stars in the entire sky😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
You're so stylish that I don't recognize you Abe 😳I think that target would definitely like my taste too 😆 But if our generation enters, all of our target might not come close to us 🤣.
Good evening Jay & Nobby! I'm sorry to hear about the earthquake 🍶.
I didn't feel much of the effects of the earthquake in Kanazawa. I had a cup of Kanazawa Oden and it was a great match of Sake and Oden 😄Kuro obi is also refreshing and delicious 🍶!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Abeno Star series, the label design is not starry sky or constellations, which is also stylish 😎I would love to try this juicy adult lemon squash with a strong flavor 😊.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃🌃The stylish Star Series 🌠I guess I feel less guilty on my rest days 😅⁉️ I had a cafe with my friends and they served formal haut and the ladies loved it 😍❤️ It's a Swiss drink 😍.
Jay & Nobby Good evening ^ ^
It is indeed a label that could be placed alongside wine.
You are still young since you can drink and feel the taste of alcohol targeted at 20-30 year olds👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
The emotional label seems like another sake, different from the usual simple "Abe" 😁.
I'd like to follow the Star Series, but I don't have a distributor near me 💦.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's up to the brewery to choose the target so it's up to you to spread the word....it's up to you to drink it 🤣 it's a great drink for 50s 😋I wonder what the brewery was aiming for when they chose the darkest star 🤔....
Jay & Nobby Good morning. Abbe It's delicious 😄 Good thing it's so hard to find. I know exactly how you feel about postponing your rest schedule because it ends on the scheduled day 😆.
Hi Aladdin 😃
Actually I brought you here because Abesan 💛 was sold out 😅I wanted to master the stylish and delicious 🌟 series 🤗I recommend it from 50s 😆.
Hi pyonpyon 😃
I felt zero guilt because it was stylish and light 💃 rather it was a plus 😆Oh! It's the first star in the constellation of Pisces 🌟❗️ unrelated but it's my son's constellation 😆 Connected by a dodo: ⁉️
Hi Rafa papa 😃
Yes 😆 we are the ones who came in over the target 🤣 it's a 50s friendly drink 😋Next time I would like to go to the brightest Sirius 🌟 on the contrary 🤗.
Hi Komachan 😃.
I would like to be extremely interested in Abe-san because they are all delicious 🤗Well, the rest day is just a schedule, not an absolute 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I see that the time has come for sake to be brewed with a well-defined target audience 🤣.
But from what I've heard, even an old man in his 60's would be interested in this sake 😀.
Hi Yasbeh 😃.
I think I know what Mr. Abe is trying to do when I drink 👍I think maybe all the residents of the sakéwa world, including us, are young at heart 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
Stylish label Abe-san, looks delicious ❗️
If it's low al and made with white malted rice, would it be more of a summer flavor❓
But I don't see much point in drinking too much even with low alu... 🤣
Good evening, Chichi 😃.
It tasted perfect for us stylish people 😆 It's true that it might be suitable for summer, but it's also good in winter 🤗.
Oh, and since you drink so fast 😅 you might absorb it too fast 🤣.
It has a light flavor reminiscent of transparent green apple or mango. The soft sweet and sour taste in the mouth, with a hint of whey, has a lingering bitterness similar to that of the seeds of green plums.
The next day, it mellows out and becomes slightly darker.
There is also a hint of a flavor reminiscent of canned mandarin oranges 😋.
Last Saturday, after drinking about 60% of Yamasan, I switched to Masayo, which I like to drink on a regular basis.
I feel like I've gone from an enka singer to an anime voice actor 😁.
Narukami is said to be a Yamato word meaning "thunder". I felt a connection with Masayo because this sake is served in Utsunomiya, which is also called the "thunder capital" because it has the highest number of thunderstorms in Japan during the summer.
This is a commercialized version of the 2nd test brew that was well received and is said to be dry 🤔.
I'll make love to you
I'll make love to you ♬ I don't think it has much of an aroma?
I'm not sure if the aroma is too strong or too weak, but it's a good sake with a light and refreshing flavor 😙It's also quite fruity, so I don't feel like it's dry...
On Sunday, the second day, Masayo-san seemed to have a more rounded flavor and more umami 😋.
Oh, by the way, I went to see the basketball 🏀 game the other day and saw the highlights on ❗️ YouTube, and we were on it a bunch of times 🤗.
I should have worn my J&N offline uniform so everyone could see us 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
Masayo itself reminds me of the Yamato language, and the use of the Yamato language, which reminds me of snow and thunder, is very fashionable 😀.
I don't remember seeing Gagakuyo at the store yet, so I'll seriously look for it next time!
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
Masayo-san was brought in by Masha-san to drink at last year's Hankai Train Off-line meeting, but other than that I have never met you 🥲I would like to try this drink 😋 I say it every time 🤣.
Jay & Nobby, good morning 😃I would like to have a drink with Yamasan and a good Gagakuyo.
I want to go to Saito-san because I'm playing golf ⛳️ in Yaita in March 🚙.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃This Masayo has a mature atmosphere with its austere label 😆 I often fall into the loop that when you guys drink Masayo, I want to drink it too 💦I don't have it in stock at home so I have to look for it again 😭.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
Masayo, you have many different faces with different atmospheres 🤗I'm tempted to drink when someone who seems to have similar tastes is raising a bottle 😆 No matter how much I have in stock, it's never enough 😆.
Good morning, Shieri 😃.
Metaphorical expression! Glad you picked it up 🤗.
Yes, it is. Not on a yearly basis, but it looks like the summer lightning ⚡️ occurrence is number one 🤔 not very happy 😅.
Last week, we had a good rest from Tuesday to Thursday 😌 and on Friday, we had a few leftover Shiki-zakura Oya Romance 😋.
And finally, Saturday, when J&N is in full swing: ‼️
After the customary walk💦 and a bath, the chosen one was this one, which has recently been popular in the sake-no-wa world and which I was curious about after seeing your post! It's Yamasan 🤗I've only seen it at the Saito Sake Shop, so I stocked up on it when I went on my liquor store expedition in January👍.
This one doesn't read "Yamasan"🤗"Isn't it Yamazou?" What a talk, then I looked at the label and it was a regular Yamasan 😅.
I'll make love to you in a Riedel glass.
The aroma is fresh and sweet.
I take a sip and yes, it's just as you said! It's just like you said 😊.
It's not that sweet combined with a good acidity...hmmm? I thought it might be too sweet 🤔, but the bitterness at the end balances out the whole thing, and it is a bottle that can be enjoyed with chili carbonation 😊.
As you said, this is going to be very popular 😄I knew Nagano sake was of a high level! Tochigi Hitogokochi also needs to evolve further 😄.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I've been seeing a lot of your posts lately, so I'm very curious about this sake 😀.
My wife and I are talking about taking a trip to Nagano for a sake brewery tour in the near future because the level of sake in Nagano is very high 😀.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I'm sure it's a common thing for sake lovers to read too much into the brand name 😁.
I'm curious about "Yamasan" which I believe takeshon-san also praised ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The label is so graphical that I didn't even recognize it as "Yamazan" at first 😅.
But your selection of Hitogokochi's light nigori is a masterpiece 🤤I'd like to try it someday too: ☺️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆.
Yamazan is booming.
I would love to drink it, but there are no stores near me...
I also walked a total of 37km in just two days over the weekend 🚶.
But when I walk and sweat, I want to drink beer or shochu 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄
I bought two bottles of Yamasan too, just like the fashion!
They should arrive tomorrow🤗.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the Hitogokochi Thin Nigori
This seems to be the most popular 🤔
Jay & Nobby. Good evening. Yamasan is good, isn't it? And it is lightly cloudy. Shinshu sake is always good. I can't buy Kamerei anymore, but Yamasan, Kamekai, etc. I want to drink it.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Yamasan, I really often see it in the sake brewery, but not in my neighborhood 😅I hear it's delicious and I can't wait to try it 😆I absolutely love the chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chi, I love it 😃❤️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉🦉!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the popular Yamazan 👍✨I'd love to try the Hitogokochi, a light nigori sake from Shinshu, it's packed with delicious elements ❣️
Good evening, Yasube!
Yamasan is already very popular in the sake world 😊We went there last spring and the Nagano sake drinking tour is a lot of fun 🤗.
Hi Gyve, good evening 😃.
I'm thinking 🤔 it can't be easy to read 😅
Takeshon, you also said that if you don't drink, you will lose your life! You also said that 😁 you're absolutely right 🤗.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Yes, it's true! The label on the picture looks like a pattern or a dharma drop 😅The liquor store had 3 different kinds, but I had my eye on the Hitogokochi 🤗.
Good evening, Chichi 😃.
I can see why it went boom 😋 we have to go to a liquor store far away too 😅.
But you walked 37 kilometers in 2 days 😳that's a lot of beer 🍺 first 🤗.
Good evening, superbebe😃.
Oooh! That's a lot of fun 🤗I see that the one we drank is the most popular one 😊 but I'm looking forward to your review of the two bottles 👋
It was shipped in November, but it still had a ripe pineapple flavor. In addition, it has a rich koji aroma. It has a slight chilli aroma. There is also a slight saltiness and cocoa taste, as if a little salt was added to the chocolate.
I would go for it on its own...
The next day, I could taste a flavor similar to koji amazake.
Thank you for your help this year. Senkou ☺.
I will have the Risshun morning pressing again this year 🍶🙏🙏.
It has a sweet aroma with a hint of sourness, and a hint of muscat 🍇 in the freshness. It is a bit acidic and crisp with a hint of sourness.
Compared to last year's (I don't remember much, but it's pretty light and refreshing, isn't it?
But it's beautiful and less alcoholic, and you can't stop drinking it😃This is delicious ‼️
I've been mad at myself lately for buying too much sake (sake and whiskey), although I can't drink it very slowly....
I have no place to put them, so I'm thinking of buying a fridge to put them in.
Good evening, YasuSake 😃.
I'm sure you are right! Everyone in the Kenmin-kai has got Senkou's Risshun Asashimusubori.
First of all, it's important to find a place to put it, isn't it? Before or after? Before or after? I hope the negotiations go well 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I made up an excuse and bought it at Saito's 😃 so the vegetable room again....
I realized that the placement is no good because I negotiate in advance, so I negotiated after the fact? Pre-negotiated? I'm going to try with 💪.
The natural lactobacillus brewing process is said to be the Koei Kiku style of nama motsukuri.
The freshly opened flavor is soft and refreshing raisin. I think I may have left it in the refrigerator too long. It has the same characteristic sourness, concentrated sweetness, and umami that you find in dried fruits. When I bought it, the introduction said, "Don't rush and enjoy it slowly..." So I have been enjoying it every night a little bit like a dessert wine, and the bitter cocoa taste has turned into a dense flavor reminiscent of chocolate. The taste was similar to that of orange peel chocolate, with a hint of bitterness and a hint of salt added as a hidden flavor.
Lunch was beef bone light ramen, soy sauce.
Hi Manachie 😊 glad you are feeling better! Yes 😋 it's ramen from Men-ei Ohsama. I'm going to try it today. 🏍️ Manachie-san, do you ride your bike in winter? Don't you cry from the cold and wind pressure🥶?
That's the best part 🤣I had the thickest soup ever 🤣🏍️ It was so thick that it was like a potage ver. of beef bones from Ten Fat Ippin. I want some soup 😭. I'll report back to you.
