The last of 4) at the standing drinking chuin Shinmachi branch in Shinmachi, Osaka, which has reopened for business. Today we will compare 4 sakes from Tobiroki and Izumikawa. Next is the fourth and last sake, Tobiroki Junmai Ginjo. It is what is called "Tobiroki's Black Label". The exterior is clear crystal. The aroma is a ginjo aroma that is clearer and purer than that of the special junmai. Clear melon, moderately ripe banana, and slight apricot. The aroma is a beautiful jyoshinmai. If the special junmai has an aromatic aroma, the junmai ginjo has a beautiful aroma. The owner, Mr. Kawada, also took in the aroma and nodded his head, saying, "Nice aroma ☺️. In the mouth, it has a smooth and beautiful texture. It has a slightly transparent sweetness and a gentle, clean acidity. The clear umami flavor flows very nicely, with a beautiful aroma in the hints. The final taste is gently stimulating and finishes with a sharp finish. The lingering aftertaste is moderate. It is a beautiful intoxicating sake. It has a finer and more delicate image than the special junmai, and it is a matter of taste which one you prefer. This was the end of the day! I hope that Kawada-san, the owner, will get well and we will be able to talk about sake together over a drink as soon as possible 🙏 I pray for his safe recovery and will wait patiently. Thank you for your hospitality 🍶.

At the standing drinking chuin Shinmachi in Shinmachi, Osaka, which has reopened for business (3) Today we will compare 4 sakes from Tobiroki and Izumikawa 🍶. Next up is the third sake, Tobiroki Special Junmai. I like Tobiroki's special junmai ☺️ It's been a while since I've had it, so I was excited to enjoy it. The appearance is clear crystal. The aroma is sweet and gorgeous. Aromatic fine melon sweetness, fresh aroma with a sense of melon near the skin, and moderately ripe banana. Aroma of rice, from white dumpling to rice cake. This, this, this: ☺️ The texture is very slightly thickened when you drink it. It has a firm sweetness with a sense of rice, and a smooth acidity. The rice flavor can be felt, and combined with the refreshing melon scent, it has a truly wonderful sense of balance. It is sharp and flows smoothly. The lingering aftertaste is medium-long, and you can enjoy it with your eyes as it fades away. Well, I knew it would be good, but it is still delicious 😊. Personally, I love the balance of elements in Tobiroki's special junmai: aroma, sweetness, acidity, umami, cleanliness, and drinkability. It can be served either as a mealtime sake or as a stand-alone sake, like an ibushigin utility player that one team should have. ☺️ With the lingering remnants of the last sake, let's move on to the fourth and final sake 🍶.

At standing drinking chuin shinmachi branch in shinmachi, Osaka, which reopened for business. Today we will compare 4 sakes from Tobiroki and Izumikawa 🍶. Next is the second sake, Izumikawa Junmai Ginjyo Funakuchi Hon Nama. Funakuchi is a sake that is bottled directly after it comes out of the tank (pressed), or in other words, directly pumped. I have a feeling it will be delicious! The appearance is hazy with a faint orikara. The nose smells soft and sweet with melon and sweet banana. The powdery rice aroma is also rich, like freshly pounded rice cake. The aroma does not disappoint, and at this point, I can only think of it as a favorite and drool. The texture is smooth and clean on the palate. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a gentle acidity, but then the soft sweetness of the rice is felt, and it spreads softly in the mouth. The sweetness of the rice is more than just sweetness, it is a soft and firm taste of the rice, and it is intoxicating. It finishes nicely as if it is disappearing in a way that is typical of nama-zake. The lingering aftertaste is medium, with a fresh, tingling sensation that passes through the nose. This is still my favorite one 😊🍶. When I told Mr. Kawada about it, he said, "That's right! I always buy this every year!" I always buy this one every year! I was convinced that he is a master and moved on to the next sake 🍶.

At standing drinking chuin shinmachi in shinmachi, Osaka, which has reopened for business (1). (Incidentally, the owner, Mr. Kawada, is going to be hospitalized again, so the restaurant will be open until 11/23 and then closed again for a couple of weeks. (This information is provided with his permission.) Please note that the owner, Mr. Kawada, will be closed until 11/23 and then closed again for a couple of weeks! Today, we had a 4-sake drinking contest at Hiroki Sake Brewery Honten in Aizu, Fukushima, which brews Tobiroki and local brand Izumikawa 🍶. The first sake, Kikusenkawa Ginjo-shu. Daiginjo and junmai ginjo are often seen, but sake with the specific name "ginjoshu" seems to be rather rare 🤔. The appearance is clear crystal. The aroma is fresh and sweet. Melon, more like melon. It would be more accurate to say that it is a well ripened makuwa melon. The rice aroma is about the same as that of a new rice powder. When you put it in your mouth, it has a smooth texture. A refreshing sweetness and fine acidity spread quickly. The alcohol gives a soft sweetness and finishes off with a relatively slim flow. The finish is sharp, with a moderate warmth and a very slight bitter aftertaste. Pretty good 😊. Drunken slide into the second saké 🍶.

This sake is full of the charm of Omachi. It starts with an elegant ginjo aroma, is gentle on the palate, and has a wonderful balance of sweetness and umami. It is a sake that can be enjoyed from the first sip to the last. A little steamed clouded cod roe as a side dish.

I found it! Cheap and tasty! The other day! Tasting sale at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station. After buying the Ryugasawa recommended by the sales staff, I was given an additional sample of this Tokujun! To be frank, I didn't have high expectations, but I was surprised at the perfection of the sake! I did not buy it at that time, but I remembered the label, so I bought it later at Japan Meat! The top aroma is lightly fruity. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet and umami, with a fruity aroma that spreads across the palate. The total flavor is rather light, but it has a persuasive power to make you recognize it at once. The aftertaste of fruitiness is followed by a mild acidity and bitterness. I found a good one. It is also very cost-effective at around 2,500 yen per bottle. Please don't abuse me, I said sake without permission. 〜I am reminded again of the power of new rice.... Thank you very much for your hospitality!

25th Hankyu Brewery Festival [2nd half] (2)-1 Yukihikosan booth. I had a good impression when I tasted it in 2023. I tasted all of them except for the ultra-harsh one, and had a long talk with the brewer, and became a complete fan. The brewery is located in Himeji, but it takes 40 minutes by bus from Himeji Station, and it is made by two people. Only 3% of the sake is shipped out of the prefecture. Junmai sake Fruity aroma. Slightly alcoholic and more refreshing than classical sake. Junmai Ginjo Slightly acidic, with a deep and slightly refreshing taste. Slightly refreshing. ◉Yamahai Junmai Yoboku 100nen Tasted at room temperature. The rice used for this sake is Benkei. The sake is brewed with Benkei yeast and temperature controlled to reproduce the brewery's 100 year old brewing process. It has a complex taste with a strong bitter and astringent aftertaste. ◉Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-zake Mellow, fresh, fruity, rich, and full-bodied. Quite to my liking. I had the same impression before. Junmai Ginjo Yume Nadeshiko A gorgeous aroma, with a rich, sweet flavor and richness. The aroma is gorgeous, with a deep sweetness and richness, and a slight sourness on the finish. I like it better than before. Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake Aizan 1801 A bit more acidity than sweetness, with a bitter aftertaste. It had a nice bitterness, just like I've come to expect from Aizan, but I'd like to see a little more sweetness. It continues.
