The waitress said it was almost time for the last of the all-you-can-drink menu.
I told her to expect it from her guests and asked for some rice wine.
Apparently, the rice wine has been changed to shin denshu since 2022!
But the green apple flavor is still there!
I gobble it up!
They say it tastes like Pocari, but I didn't feel that way.
One drink and you'll feel like you're in a dream!
Now, we are on the move early in the morning!
Tonight, we are going to Fukurokuju-san again!

Drinking at a good pace!
We asked for the next brand, but it was out of stock!
Then let's go to Inamuraya, which is well known in Aomori!
This time, the all-you-can-drink special junmai sake was on parade.
Inamuraya's label is also very different from the labels we have seen in the past, and is very austere!
The taste is robust, but with the appleiness 🍎 common to Aomori sake!
The pace of the sake is further increased with a request for raw Hoya...

The next sake, Mutsu Hachisen from Hachinohe, was requested.

I usually post early in the morning or late at night, but since we were out drinking, I was looking at the posts while drinking at a restaurant and saw that someone was drinking sake and I was also drinking sake at the same time, so I posted my post first!
Eto-san advised me the other day that I should drink it if I wanted to regret it later, so...
I've already had 4 cups at the branch.
I asked if they had this grade of sake and they said they had it in the main store.
If so, it's the Hyakupaishi, which I hadn't ordered yet and had to go through the other day, and it's a Jun Dai, Nama, Purple!
The label is not what I expected.
One word: delicious 😋.
I'll enjoy it slowly from here.

Good evening, Shin Shin SY 🌙
Thanks for the rice 🙇 I see it was the rice wine here! I don't think I've seen this one before. But I would like to drink it and see how it differs from Kojonishiki and others 😊.

Good morning, Pon. This is the first time for me too. I can enjoy the taste of apples no matter which class of Tasake I drink. It is an excellent sake that does not disappoint. Thank you for your continued support 🤲.

I felt like having another drink.
Discovered this kind of alcohol in Morocco!
It's rare, so I had it with half a bowl of chirashi-sushi to finish the meal.
I can't really describe the difference between this and the first Rainbow, but the taste is different from the Taju.
The taste is different from that of the rice wine.
It was cold outside, but it warmed my body and my heart🌞!
knowledge
Since Miura Shuzo has become a pure rice brewery
We are now making Junmai-Daiginjo tsukurushizake instead of the traditional Daiginjo tsukurushizake.
It is now Junmai Daiginjo Tsurushizake.
In the severe cold of the brewery, the best part of the Junmai Daiginjo
The best Junmai Daiginjo, especially the tasty middle part, is hung from a sake bag.
The sake is made by collecting the drops that drip down.
It is a luxurious and extravagant sake.
The rice used for this sake is Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, which is polished down to less than 40%.
This sake is made by the Miura brothers using all the techniques they possess.
It is truly a bottle of the best.
In order to enjoy both the aroma and the taste to the fullest, please drink it in the best glass.
Please drink it in the best glass you can find.
The best wine glasses are also good.
This is a delicate sake, although it has been treated with heat.

Entering Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture
Wandering around, I found a store that caught my attention.
I want to warm up my cold body.
Fully private rooms
Excellent infection control
Sushi appetizer🍣
I found the Toyoupai Rainbow, which I often see in the sake posts, and ordered it to start.
They poured me a full glass of sake.
I can't feel the ginjo aroma, but it's fruity in the mouth.
There is no unpleasant bitterness.
The best part of the day
Skepticism
This is a Junmai Daiginjo sake made by grinding a lot of Toyopai rice.
This is a very rare sake.

Good morning, Manachie-san. Since I was in Hirosaki, I decided to drink Toyoupai, so I looked for a store that might have various kinds. It's called Jiraiya. There was a large selection 😊.
