Happy new brewing year 😀 Thank you very much for your support during the last year 🙇. The first bottle of the new year is my most favorite San-do-san 😀. After reading Aladdin's recent post, I remembered that I haven't had any Sansho recently, and after reading Yoohee's post, I wondered which Sansho I should open, but today I opened a bottle of Sannojo's Yamadanishiki 😇. Thankfully, since I started visiting Sukumasa once a month for their hanpukai, I never run out of San-Do sake 😀 I can always have my favorite sake waiting for me. It's nice to know that my favorite sake is always waiting for me 😇. I'm actually taking a little break from Sake no Wa after tomorrow's post 😅. In the meantime, if all goes well, I will be back on July 28th, so I hope to see you again 🙇.

Every weekend we enjoy... a hot pot day, served in the air conditioner 😀. Kaorin decided to have banana yeast sake today 😀. Actually, this sake is from the same store as Maru-san's and from the same hanpukai. From the label design, I imagined it was a fully ripe banana from Ouizumo-san that I drank last year, but after hearing Maru-san's comment, I was prepared to open the bottle to find that it was a very tough banana 🤣. Today's hot pot was kimchi nabe, and thanks to the spiciness of the kimchi and Maru's comment, I could taste the strong ripe banana flavor behind the strong flavor😇. Thank you for taking the lead, Maru-san 😀. Next time you have a chance to drink it, please pair it with a spicy dish like kimchi nabe, I think you will be able to taste the slightly old and brown banana flavor deep inside the sake 🤣. I'm a young sake novice and I recommend it😇

Today's sake is Kouko Ringo from the April Sukumasa hanpukai sake 😀 Actually, this is my first time drinking Kouko-san, but I'm sure it will be quite a change of pace from the start ❓. Actually, this will be my first time drinking Kouko-san, but will it be quite a change of pace from the start❓ Following the pineapple taste of yesterday's multi-acid yeast Akirika-san, the Rinko acid of No. 77 gives it a fruitiness 😀. I compared it with the one that was brought to room temperature for tasting, and I felt more apple when it was brought to room temperature 😀. In its chilled state, it felt more like a wine 😀. The nuances were completely different between the chilled and room temperature versions, but each was a delicious sake with a wide range of flavors to enjoy😇

Good morning, Yasbay 😃I drank Koshi's apple 🍎 last year and I remember I was really surprised how easy it was to drink. It has a very summery taste 😋.

I opened a little nice one on an otherwise uneventful weekday. Slightly effervescent and juicy. The top aroma is pineapple. When you drink it, it smells and tastes like pineapple. Slight bitterness in the second half. The overall taste is beautiful, perhaps because it is highly refined. It is sweet enough, but the sweetness is mild among Kangiku. I think the sweetness becomes stronger when the temperature is raised a little.

Today's drink is Yamori's orikagarami 😀. Actually, after reading J&N's post the other day, I wanted to buy a bottle of Ippouki nigori, so I went to Sakai City to buy some, but they only had one bottle, so I gave up and bought Ippouki Sumi Sake, but I was disappointed, so I bought Yamori's Origara-mi together with it 😇😇. It was a winner. 🙆‍♂️ The ogara-mi by Yamori is also halfway delicious 😀. The Hana-Sakura I drank yesterday tasted almost the same whether it was the top clear, nigorashi or chilled nigorashi at room temperature, but this YAMORI has different tastes, each with its own characteristics, but they all tasted delicious 😀. The best one was the mixed nigori at room temperature 😀. By the way, I also tried Hana-Sakura on the rocks, which was also delicious because it had a strong flavor and there was little difference in temperature 😇. It was my first time to try sake on the rocks 😀.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Yasube! I've been thinking about drinking it for a long time but I haven't been able to 😅I remember drinking orikagarami at an off-line meeting in Osaka a long time ago and it was delicious 😋 but I'm starting to feel a bit suspicious because I'm starting to lose my mind 🤣...

Slightly effervescent with a beautiful sweet flavor. Not too sweet and perfectly balanced. I feel that drinkability and robust strength coexist well. With this flavor from a rice under development, I look forward to it officially becoming a sake brewing rice 😆.

At the end of April, when I went to have a drink with my wife at chuin-san, she suddenly saw chuin-san's sake cellar and said that she would give me back the space in my home refrigerator if I had something like this ❓🤣 We have a sake fridge at home, but it is not enough to hold all the sake we have 😅. We have a sake fridge in our house, but it doesn't hold enough sake and the sake has invaded the chiller and vegetable compartment of the home fridge😅. The sake cellar that I bought saying "of course" will arrive today, so I took a day off work to install it😇. I was pleasantly replacing the sake cellar and the sake fridge alone, but... ❓What do you know, the sake cellar and the sake fridge alone can't hold all the sake, and some of it is back in the home fridge again😅. This is not good😅 I bought a bottle of Kido's summer orange liqueur, which she loves, to put her in a good mood, but on the contrary, we are running out of space 🤣. Anyway, we toasted with our family's standard toast, sansudo, as a celebration for the cellar, but she didn't have time to taste the delicious sansudo and avoided Mrs. Kido's gaze 🙇. I have to be quiet for the time being😅

This is the fifth bottle on the Kikuyoko stand. The first Harukasumi green label🟢 Misato Nishiki. Well, this one has a mild aroma😍. It's smooth to drink but the sweetness comes through slowly. My husband says it's a sake that tastes good afterwards. I personally liked it best if you don't consider Shinsei. I also had a bottle of Isshaku Suisei's Miso Nishiki, but I think I'd have to go with Harukasumi (I gave it away before for drinking at home). I was in a good mood after drinking three more glasses of Harukasumi afterwards 😊. I think I drank a lot during the Golden Week 😅.

This is the fourth Kikuyoko stand. Before I get too drunk to understand, let's go to No. 6. This is a Taiwan support sake. Looking at the text on the back, it looks like this is RS -type, and it says "spin-off. I can already feel the bitterness of the light bitterness, but it's more overwhelmingly delicious. It's sweet, sour, refreshing, and delicious😅. I've seen it sold for 60,000 yen on Mercari before, so I'm going to savor it little by little with care.

Kikuyoko stand, the third one is Yamamoto. This is Yamamoto's Japanese Rhyme. He explained that he used a wine yeast for Chardonnay that he obtained overseas, and that he had a hard time making it. Wine yeast does not produce ginjo aroma, so it tends to be just sour, he said, When we tasted the fruit of the brewer's efforts, we found that it had a sourness unique to wine yeast and was quite distinctive. But it is easy to drink and refreshing. ❣️ It is still a Japanese sake, as it is more of a Junmai Ginjo than a white wine 😆. The person I was with brought a lot of snacks (3rd picture) and Kikuyoko stand was a corner 😅 friendly people and we had a good time interacting 👍.

This is the only combination of Koji rice Aiyama and Kake rice Sake Komachi not only in Akita but also in the whole country. The aroma is subdued. It has a freshness, which is sweet ‼️, but it is also rich ⁉️, with a strong rice flavor and a bitter taste at the end. Okay, it was a little different from the Yuki no Bijin I've had so far ✨.

On the last day of Golden Week, I went to an event called Kikuyoko Stand at a liquor store I frequent. What a wonderful event 😍 and what a great opportunity to drink the last of the Next 5 and get free refills on everything but Shinsei. The manager said that the capacity of the event was smaller than usual, and that he was aiming for a small, relaxed atmosphere. I was wondering what to drink first, and my choice was the Next 5. First things first 🩷. I was told that this is the last one, and I tasted it. Mmmm, it's like a barrel. Shinsei! And a touch of lactic acidity. But the citrus goes by quickly and doesn't linger, it's delicious💕💕. I can't afford the price, but it's still delicious after all, so it's hard to say it's the last one... 😓.

Today I opened a bottle of Oita Prefecture's Yuri Brewing, which I got from Sukumasa's March hanpukai 😀. I like the hanpukai because it's a fun way to get sakes that are outside of your range of expertise 😀. This sake had a strong acidity on the palate from the initial aroma 🤣. The wife said it was not slightly carbonated ❓ but in my opinion it was more like a strong acidity than a slight carbonation 🤣. It's fun to encounter flavors that you are not expecting at all😇. In case you are wondering, next month I will be starting a hanpukai with Kadoya as well as Sukumasa, so I am looking forward to it 😀!

Leap Day is sake squeezed on February 29 of every four leap years. The sake is made from Chiba Prefecture's Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 29% and brewed on this day. It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with polished Chiba-grown Gohyakumangoku rice up to 29%. We managed to get our hands on a bottle. I had it cold. It has a fruity aroma and a gaseous feeling. Fresh sweetness. Pineapple candy. Like honey diluted... The bitterness that comes after is a nice taste that brings it all together. My mother liked it so much that she had another one. The small red flowers of the maple tree are lovely. The season has come to a point where the vigor of the fresh green is clearly and vividly visible.

My hard-to-find sake (6) Today's bottle is a Junmai Daiginjo from Eikoufuji. Why is it a hard-to-find sake? Actually, I received this sake from Sukumasa's February hanpukai and it is called LEAP YEAR 2024 and is only released once every 4 years in a leap year 🤣 I was not aware that it was a leap year sake. I didn't know much about leap year only sakes, but I heard there are several breweries that sell them 😇. But if I hadn't signed up for Sukumasa's hanpukai, I wouldn't have noticed it at all 😅. But if I hadn't signed up for Sukumasa's hanpukai, I wouldn't have even heard of them 😅. The taste of Koneei Mitsuyoshi's super limited edition sake was hard to compare to Jikin and Imi's sake that we drank together 😀. I was impressed that the sake tasted even better when it was chilled, fresh out of the fridge, than when it was brought to room temperature for the tasting 😇.

In an Olympic year 🍶, it is not easy to get this kind of sake in that sense. I didn't know that there was also this kind of sake.

Good morning Yasube & Kaorin 😃 I see a lot of leap year limited edition sake at sakewa this year 😊I didn't start sakewa last leap year so I just found out about it this year 😅I'm jealous because I haven't had it yet 🤣.

Japanese>English

Hi Rafa papa 😀 I too was completely unaware of the leap year limited edition sake 🤣. Thanks to Sukumasa's hanpukai 😀. The next time I can drink it will be in 4 years, so let's keep drinking it until then 😇

Hello Yasube and Kaorin 🐦. I saw some of them at the liquor store but nothing came to me😅I finally realized after reading your review that it's been 4 years 😂Let's all keep going 😆.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😀 Pon-chan is still young, so that's good, I don't know if I will still be drinking in 4 years 🤣. For now, I'll keep drinking as long as I can 😇

After taking the Sake Navigator course, my wife and I took the 3rd level of the Sake Certificate, and today we both received notification that we passed without incident 😀. So today we are celebrating with a toast to our family's toast sake, Sansho 🍶. I've written about it many times as a staple sake in our house, so I won't say what I think of it now, but it's definitely a delicious sake😇. My wife says this is enough for her and that from now on we will enjoy sake without studying for exams, but I'm going to study sake a little more to improve my skills 😇.

Hello, Hirupeko! I have come to associate with people who have a lot of knowledge and experience in Sake-no-wa, so I am trying various challenges to get as close as possible to them 😀.

Japanese>English

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 One of the reasons I wanted to learn more about sake was because I started drinking sake and started walking around the breweries and seeing the old sake brewing exhibits and wondering what they were doing 🤣.

Japanese>English

Hi Rafa papa 😀 Unfortunately I'm not at the level where I can teach you yet 🤣. I'm trying to get closer to papa's and everyone else's knowledge and experience... I'm not close to it yet 😅.

Congratulations to Yasube and Kaorin for passing the exam 🎉🌸🌸. I heard about it from Ms. Kaorin at the offline meeting. I can't help but say it's just amazing ‼️ I'm so happy for you 👍✨It turned out to be an incredibly tasty birthing ground ❣️

Hi Pon 😀 It's a memory-only test, so I'm still a bit of a learner 🤣. I hope to be able to accurately describe the drinks I've had soon like you guys, but I have a long way to go 😅.

Hi Lutertemi 😀 I'm really happy that we both managed to pass the exam 😇. However, the wife says she's giving up any more, so I'll be working on my own from here on 🤣. The birthplace was a stable and delicious 😀.

I had another sake in mind for today, but when Kaorin told me that today is the Peach Festival, I quickly changed today's sake 😀. Today's sake is Gohashi Peach Color Nigori from my hometown in Yamaguchi Prefecture 😀. I had prepared it to drink while viewing the cherry blossoms at the nearby Banpaku Park, but it was rained out so it remained in the fridge 🌸. We compared Sentori hope, Rebirth and Tengu Mai 😀. We opened a bottle of Gobashi's peach-colored nigori and started with the supernatant 🍶. It's delicious 😀. It was strawberry fizzy juice 😀. Then I stirred the nigori and it turned out to be a peach-colored nigori sake 😀. In honor of Kaorin, today's Peach Festival is successfully over 😇.

Good evening Yasube & Kaorin 😃. Too bad you couldn't drink it at the Expo but I'm glad you were able to drink it at the Peach Festival 😊 Kaorin's favorite nigori for the Peach Festival...Yasbaye is so kind...🤣

Hi, Maru-san 😀 Sake in Japan has four seasons, so it's fun to be able to pair it with the seasons too 😀! It's finally the season for spring sake, but I still don't have any space in my fridge, so I have to drink my existing sake soon 🤣!

Hi Rafa papa 😃 I couldn't drink sake while viewing the plum blossoms at the Expo park, so I'm thinking about drinking while viewing the cherry blossoms, but I'm still pondering what to do now that I've had Gobashi😇. I need to score some points once in a while😅

Thanks for the offline meeting, Yasbay & Kaorin 😊. It's perfect for the Dolls' Festival 🎎 ❣️ I think it's great timing even though the schedule has changed 👍✨I cherish events and seasons, too🎶.

Thank you so much, Pon-chan 🙏. I probably wouldn't have been able to attend such a wonderful offline meeting if I hadn't had the opportunity to talk with you Pon 😀. I've opened a bottle of Gobashi and I'm wondering what to bring to the Hanami 🤣.

Drink and support ③. Today, we had Tengu Mai's sake to support the recovery 😀. We had room temperature and warmed sake to go with Chinese food such as sweet-and-sour pork, based on Hirupeko's post 😀. We compared hope, revival and honkin 😀. The sake was more yellowish than the "renaissance" sake and had a more "cottagey" image, but when I drank it, it was not "cottagey" at all, and although it had a little bit of a throat, it was very refreshing and delicious. Here comes the heated sake 😀 😀 It was delicious and nicely mildewed 😀! Three bottles of sake were lined up to support Ishikawa, and they were all so delicious that I really felt like they were supporting me 😀.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. Drinking and cheering 📣 is good 📣 ☺️ and what a great way to make the drinker feel cheered 😊. Yasbaye's post is fun to look at because of the comparison of different drinks and temperatures 😄.

Good evening, Yasbay 🦉. Three bottles of cheering sake 😳‼️ is wonderful! It's nice for the drinker that each one is a different type 👍I, like you, am also cheered up by cheering sake🎶.

Good evening, Rafa papa 😀 As papa said before, I would like to continue this drinking and cheering event not as a one-time event, but as a continuous one, and I am glad that all the drinks are worthy of it 😀.

Good evening, Haruei Chichi 😀. I can feel your passion for Chichi-san and I'm glad to have met this sake as well 😀. But all the sakes were delicious in their own way, so I'm looking forward to seeing Chichi-san's opening and tasting the sakes he has on hand in Omachi 😀.

Nigorinpic 8 The sake I had reserved in time for the Nigorinpic was also a light nigori-style sake from Kuheiji, which I entered into the Nigorinpic in a hurry 😀 As you can see, it was not nearly as cloudy as the previous light nigoris. As you can see, compared to the previous light nigoris, there was almost no hint of nigoriness 😀. I compared the supernatant and the stirred one, and it tasted just as good as it looked 😀. It had a fruity taste like other light nigori, but it was a bit dry, but you could feel the sweetness of the rice 😀. It's delicious ❤️ Today we compared Urasato and Tasake's light nigori, which had been opened earlier, and Urasato was the most fruity 😀. Today I tried Tasake warmed up to lukewarm and it was also delicious... even my wife who is not good at warming up sake said the Tasake light nigori warmed up was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Good evening, Yasube! Kuheiji-san looks delicious too! I completely forgot about it this year 😆 Aside from that, I'd love to try a heated bottle of the lightly nigori rice wine from Tasake, which is OK with Kaorin as well 💦 Too bad I can't get my hands on some ❣️ sake.

Japanese>English

Rafa papa

Good morning Yasube-san 😃I haven't had kuheiji for a while. I haven't had kuheiji for a while 🙄The nigori nigori kuheiji looks delicious 😋I didn't even try the nigori tasake this year 😅I'll try it next year if it's good even for a wife who doesn't like heated sake😁.

ジェイ&ノビィ

Hi Yasbay 😃 I wrote 🤔 that I haven't had a cup of Kuheiji for a while and Rafa wrote the same thing 😆. Kaorin, you are starting to notice the deliciousness of heated sake, and you are getting more and more addicted to it 😋.

Good evening, Pon 😀 I'm enjoying the various taste changes of nigori sake 😇 Tomorrow, I would like to continue the challenge by heating this brewer's nigori to lukewarm 😀. Will it work or will I fail 🤣

Hi Rafa papa 😀 I'm not sure how to choose the sake I want to drink since I can't drink all of them 😅. I'm looking forward to this brewer's nigorigo, I'm sure it will taste different when heated up 😀.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 I think brewer Kuheiji is a pretty famous sake, but you don't see it in many sakéwa posts 🤣. Everyone seems to be busy trying new flavors, no time to go back 😅.
