Aoki Shuzo’s Kakurei 3rd Edition for 2022 - Ayano Otake

2022-12-01T05:00:00.001+09:00

Aoki Shuzo’s 3rd Edition for 2022 has released an absolutely beautiful Junmai Daigenjo-shu in commemoration for its artist of the year Ms. Ayano Otake. This nihonshu is brewed using a premium rice grain called Omachi which has a beautiful roundness and acidity that makes you drink it slowly on its own or with a fish dish. The artist is renowned for painting beautiful depictions of Japanese women in natural form. This style of painting is similar to an art called Bijinga, or the art form denoting the beauty of Japanese females. She is a Japanese painter born in Saitama Prefecture.

Ms. Otake holds a Ph.D in Fine Arts from Tokyo University and is brilliant in mind and in spirit. Many of the themes in her artwork focus on depictions of refined Japanese beauty, which is befitting of nihonshu brewed by Aoki Shuzo in my opinion. Many of Ms. Otake's paintings accentuate the skin tones and lines of kimono with powerful depictions. In my opinion, nihonshu has always been brewed for the gods in the likeness of Japanese female beauty.

In my opinion, nihonshu has always been brewed for the gods in the likeness of Japanese female beauty. Having visited Aoki Shuzo in Niigata, I have fond memories of this delicious Kakurei brands, but also the snow country where this sake was made. Everything about it imbues the Bijinga. There is an old proverb "white skin covers the seven flaws" (色の白いは七難隠す, iro no shiroi wa shichinan kakusu), which refers to a white-skinned woman being beautiful even if her features are not attractive.

The beauty of Japan is and can be expressed in many ways. As usual, mine is the expression of love and elixir. How I define it is Jukujo, Nihonshu, Onsen, and so much more.

Japanese men were hatched from eggs in incubators in laboratories. It is impossible for them to have come forth through the love of the Japanese mother womb. Figuratively. They are simply detached from the pulse of life. They are automated; slaves to the machine. Sacrificing all for nothing, and nothing for all.

I, on the other hand, have been preaching the hot gospel of sake to the masses. Attempting to re-instill the value of Japanese cultural assets back to the beaten down soul of the Japanese man. I can see the fruits of my labor. Nothing has gone in vain.

Other than eccentric Anglo Saxons who are robbing and redefining the country as I type this message. I wish to anchor the nation on its own principles.

The other day, I was sitting in a bar enjoying a hot bowl of oden and cold sake. An elderly man was trying to teach another Japanese man how to enjoy Japanese sake, but that man could not, and insisted on having a lemon sour instead. The elderly gentleman then tried to hook him up with the young cute waitress, but she was not interested. Such is the lost soul of the nation.

Japan is lost to the young.

Asian Self-Esteem

2022-09-06T23:20:00.001+09:00

From the Desk of the soul of Japan

Good evening readers,

I am writing today to discuss the disease of Anglo standards of beauty. What Chinese do to appease their Anglo bosses is of no concern to me, personally, and I suspect neither the Japanese could care less how much The Chinese endear themselves to their Anglo masters. I only wish to preserve Japanese beauty standards as the epitome of feminine belle. The reason for this post is to remind my readership that Asian beauty is a standard, just like Anglo beauty is. I am so glad Japanese photographers are keeping this element rreal everyday. On the news the other day a white lady was anchoring a news program. I did not understand how an Anglo woman could have a Chinese name, so I dug around and found out the story.

Julie Suzanne Chen Moonve

In 2015, Chen revealed on The Talk that during her time in Dayton her news director had told her that she would never become a news anchor because of her "Asian eyes". After a "big-time agent" agreed and advised her to get plastic surgery, she made the decision to have a surgical procedure to reduce the epicanthic folds of her eyes.[18] Wikipedia

I was as astonished to learn about this. Was her career that important? What is the messaging here for other Asian women with epicanthic folds in their eyes? This standard of beauty or rounded eyelids was from Anglo Europe and regarded as beautiful by Asians with low self-esteem. Epicanthic folds are just as attractive as round eyes, but even more so depending on the beholder.

I do not care what school of beauty you spawned from, but to force low self-esteem Asians to ruin their faces by looking Anglo is wrong! It was wrong back in ancient times, and it is wrong today. I am concerned about the messaging and its impact on other people with epicanthic folds in their eyes. Asians are not the only race with Asian folds in their eyes.

Fight to preserve Asian beauty as a global standard!

Shindo Sake Brewery, Yamagata Japan. Gasanryuu Gasanryu Gokugetsu Junmai Daiginjo "Mountain Stream" Junmai Daiginjo #gasanryu #gasanryusake #gokugetsu #SHINDOUSHUZOUTEN#shindobrewery Yamagata prefecture. Dewa33 rice. Yamagata. A prefecture I dearly love. I put Hainuki rice on the culinary map in English years ago. Way before this new rice grain they eat there. At any rate, this is a Daiginjo, super premium sake made with rice milled down to 50% or less of its original size. The first sip will have enhanced sweetness, but give it time and the flavor rounds out beautifully into a nice honeydew melon. Yamagata Bijin are the exact same. This is also a Muroka! Unfiltered, not as in nigori-zake (i.e. cloudy sake), but as in not charcoal filtered after brewing. Clear appearance but often a rougher flavor. I’m Additional, it’s a Namazume: Sake that has been bottled as unpasteurized sake. Usually, if this term is on the bottle, it will be pasteurized one time for stability after having been bottled, but the standard first pre-bottling pasteurization will have been foregone. Highly recommend!

Brasserie Viron Shibuya #viron #渋谷 #感染拡大防止 #viron #viron渋谷 #フランス料理 #ブラッスリー #ヴィロン #文化村 #東急本店 #クレープ #感染予防 #brasserie Important note here: The French word tarte can be translated to mean either pie or tart, as both are mainly the same. The big difference is that a pie usually has a pastry covering the filling. A tart is an open-faced pie. A tartlet is a miniature tart Those of you who've been with me for awhile know I love to finish a meal with good coffee and dessert. This time around I stopped over at an old favorite in Shibuya called Viron. Here I ordered a fresh tarte juor with real vanilla ice cream on the side, and a double-shot of espresso. The fruit and crunchiness in the tarte was really good! Nothing fell apart at all and complimented the espresso nicely. Customer service was excellent. Servers were attentive and timely. Menus had lots of authentic French food without Japanese flavors. It's all what I remember during my time in Europe. Whenever I see Rum Baba on the menu I order it quickly without hesitation. A rum baba or baba au rhum is a small yeast cake saturated in syrup made with hard liquor, usually rum, and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. The FIRST thing I noticed was that the unlimited dark rum they offer you on the side had a whole vanilla bean inside of the bottle, not some extract or artificial vanilla. REAL vanilla bean. The vanilla infused rum is so authentically French and poured over beautifully the cake. Most noteworthy item on the menu for me was the Rum Baba, for sure. It was obviously super sweet, but had a lovely rich vanilla essense to it that could easily be forgiven sweet is not your thing, that is! 5 Stars all around!

This Junmai Daiginjo is an excellent marriage between rice from Saga prefecture and flower yeast. The rich umami that makes you feel the overflowing passion and the refreshing acidity that reminds you of your first love are exactly the taste of love.

It is easy to drink and has a hint of cherry and stone fruit that definitely makes it a favorite for many. SMV is 50%. Best temps to enjoy is 5～15℃ , 20～25℃ This is a Junmai Daigenjyo she!

Kissyo Liquor Store

2022-05-29T21:34:00.000+09:00

This liquor store is one of the biggest in the Kanto region of Japan, and they carry hundreds of selections of fine wine and spirits. Including regional favorite in Japanese sake and Nihonshu. If you like Nihonshu from all over Shikoku and Tohoku, this liquor shops carries it, even rare sake selections.

My personal recommendations:

#1 Snacks

https://kikusui-do.jp

Kikusuido no Potato Chips #できたてポテトチップ

Still the #1 brand of potato chips in Japan, in my humble opinion. Plain and lightly salted high quality chips are simply the best snacks.

https://youtu.be/tYSMr7-kDPE

#2 炭火焼き赤鳥　宮崎 / Char-Grilled Red Chicken from Miyazaki Prefecture - a local delicacy.

Heat in the microwave for a minute or two and enjoy as is with your favorite beer and sake.

The Beauty and the Horror

2022-05-14T11:59:00.002+09:00

I was inspired by the likes of the late great Mishima Yukio and Leonardo Fujita. None are related to sake or Jukujo love yet both share a love of ephemeral beauty. The pulsing rock hard penis of the Japanese twink and the glory of the throne was Mishima's great masturbatory achievement through playwriting. Fujita's was the love of white skinned beauty accentuated by refined musculature - both men brilliant. Both men represented divergent views that need to be reconciled. One extreme Japanese writer after another exploring fragments of the same beauty in different forms and styles of writing and expression.

The story of the soul of Japan, is that of the bounding hulking beauty of the white skinned Jukujo, and streams of sake flowing down from mountaintops into mist thick hot outdoor onsen; snowcapped peaks in the backdrop with a fluttering Hinomaru. White people are lost in translation, and I might rescue you, but.... Well.... Hmmm. Stop trying to reinvent Nihonshu, and stop disparaging the symbols of this country. Leave it like it is and stop importing your gods here. Leave your white privilege elsewhere so that old traditions can still thrive here. You are not helping. Stop exporting Japan then reinventing it just to make a profit, too. First, we have to reconcile the old with the new generation. And don't steal my thunder. Stay in your lane.

("At any rate, don't confuse my obsession with moral turpitude either")

This blog cuts ✂️ through the beautifully gift wrapped bullshit. Removing all impurities that have poisoned the disposition of Japan. Mishima tried to remerge the soul of the nation back to its former glory through the power of his passion. Though his sacrifice was largely in vain, fragments of his soul are reborn in other forms, some through my expression.

Leonardo Fujita changed gods on his death bed. Renouncing those of his ancestors, died a Catholic. His exploration into white skinned worship took him to 🇫🇷 France where his skills were refined and honed. He even invented the color white in painting forever changing canvas art.

Before I fully digress, I recall the works of the late Shumei Okawa a convicted war criminal who was spared the same fate as his brethren translated the Koran into Japanese from his sickbed. He too changed gods. Disavowed by his god, never once was he honored at Yasukuni. In the end, he would try to save his own soul.

All of these men exemplified beauty in strength in their work in the latter part of their lives. Beauty and Death were synonymous with Mishima’s prose. That dying young and at the height of one’s beauty was better than dying old. White worship abounds in Japan, true, from antiquity to the present. It is a sin of the soul. The only white beauty is Asian beauty.

I wish to steer this great titanic, Japan, back onto its course. To help it reestablish its orbit. At the present, the whole country has been knocked out of its kilter. This needs to be remedies and that is why this blog was born. I seek to explore the beauty of the nation and its core gods and bounty. To remerge the elements that bring it balance and harmony through my prose.

("There are over 8 million gods in Japan! How many do you know or remember?")

I am a sake lover who enjoys the beauty of Nihonshu a drink that used to be revered for its godlike qualities, and reserved for the holy. Things have certainly changed. When I write about Nihonshu I like to include the essence of it and how best to enjoy it. In particular. I think sake is best enjoyed in nature surrounded by large breasted Jukujo in a hot tub tucked away in a deep valley far away from the peering eyes of the Tokyo pervs who have lost all sense of normalcy.

Japanese cuisine and Nihonshu enhance each other and bring out the essence of country. The spiritual ebb & flow of the nation. Combined with matrons, sake lubricates the wheels of social interaction and creates and other worldliness of merriment and laughter. A warm conviviality. I love it when a petite Japanese woman drinks with confidence and can hold her own. Japanese men in general drink poorly, and become dull and stupid. Whites become annoying and pretentious. Be more like me. Laid back and chill. Entertain the matrons. Eat slowly. Breath in the sweat and perfume of Jukujo while enjoying the aromatics of good Nihonshu.
