I'm going to conquer the four seasons for now ✨🍧.
I was imagining a refreshing summer sake since it was described as schwashwa on the liquor store's website 🤔.
But it was a classic, dry and crisp with a strong umami flavor 😳.
It would go well with summer gutsy dishes 😊.
Next time I'll try it in the fall 🍁.

Outstanding.
At a restaurant in Nagaoka that has a good reputation for its food and a selection of sake from outside of the prefecture.
I asked for Tetorigawa, which has recently been my boom 🙂.
It seems to be fire-aged, but there is a slight fizzy feeling 🫧.
Fresh and moderately fruity.
Light and refreshing, with plenty of umami, but light and pleasant to drink 😦.
I like this sake too 😆.
The label says "daily junmai sake" and when I asked the owner about it, he said it wasn't expensive...
I think this is a great everyday sake ✨.
I saw Yahiko Musume on the corner of the menu, so I ordered it, and it was cut from the branch and boiled ❕.
Edamame is freshly boiled after all👍.
Very different 💦 from the ones I boiled myself.
They are pros! 🙇♂️

Delicious well chilled.
Japanese>English
elegant
Mildly pear-like aroma. The clear, sharp mouthfeel gives way to an elegant sweet and sour taste that finishes with a slight bitterness.
It does not have a particularly strong aroma, but it creates a sense of balance and elegance.

The aroma is light, but the taste is mild with hints of rice and grain. It has a smooth texture, but the acidity and umami are strong, balanced by a moderate sweetness. The spread of the acidity from the mid-palate is also intoxicating, and the intoxication subsides relatively quickly and calmly. The lingering taste, including bitterness, is well-balanced and finishes well. It seems to go well with slightly strong flavors. Personally, I would like to match it with simmered dishes or grilled fish, but it seems to be relatively versatile. It is delicious!

Sogen Sake Brewery in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, produced shortly before the earthquake.
I thought it was wonderful that they had already released a number of recovery sake, aiming for early recovery 👍.
Japanese>English
It has a gentle aroma, a deep taste of Yamadanishiki, and a good aftertaste.
The accompaniment is a creative sashimi set meal
Japanese>English
Serve cold.
It has a sweet aroma like cotton candy and a dry, slightly mellow taste.
Omachi rice is used for sake brewing, and the fullness of the flavor was apparent.
The deliciousness of the rice is fully expressed!
Ok as a stand-alone sake, this is a dark but refreshing bottle that will not be overpowered by strong-flavored snacks.
This sake is rarely seen outside of Ishikawa Prefecture, and is only available in the prefecture.
It is a wonderful sake that can only be found in the prefecture.

I went to the Holy Land because the lottery had started.
I was looking around with the intention of bringing home some summer sake, but there were so many things to choose from that I got lost.
As expected of the Holy Land, the lineup on the shelves has changed drastically since last week 🍶.
The one I chose was Yuho from Ishikawa Prefecture's Goso Sake Brewery.
The sake is brewed in Hakui, in the middle of Noto!
The label was designed by a high school student from Hakui, so it's very summery.
It really stood out at the sanctuary!
I had heard that it was dry, but it was well-balanced and very light. The aftertaste and lingering aftertaste were very refreshing.
I thought I would bring it home again if I came across it!

[Voluntary aging in store! 😳]
This nigori nama sake touts its freshness, but the production date is November 2023... 🤔.
I don't know if they aged it on purpose or if it was just unsold until now, but I'm interested in the taste after aging it in the store for about 6 months 😁.
The gasiness that the label says on the back has almost disappeared and my first impression was that it was somewhat lacking, but after the second day my impression changed completely and I found the contrast between the rich umami and the solid bitterness to be an interesting sake 😊.
It has a very deep flavor, and if this is what the store was aiming for, it's just amazing... 🙇.

Purchased at a liquor store tasting near my parents' home.
60% polished rice from Gohyakumangoku, Ishikawa Prefecture
Nama sake aged at ice temperature
Rich raw ripeness
Grain and herbaceous flavors
Full of umami and really tasty!
After a series of fruity sakes, the strong, dark taste is also fresh.

Delicious. Would drink again. There is a re-drink. Though it was moderately cold.

🍶🤓.
Refreshing aroma.
Sweetness is not strong.
A nice fizziness and a bit of sourness.
There is a bit of bitterness, but I don't mind it while eating.
Easy to drink and nice. 🤗🤗
Japanese>English
Rating: ★★★★☆
Slightly effervescent and delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. Tastes just the way I like it.
I've been so busy working that I haven't been able to move my body. I'm still drinking the same and keeping in shape is not good.
Since I can drink as much as I used to, I should be able to make time to work out, but I'm too tired to do so.
I need to force myself to make time for exercise.

I think a lot about Kiri number, but this year it's this one: ‼️
New Year's Day earthquake😱It shook a lot in Aichi prefecture too 😨My second son was scared under his desk!
I was shocked to hear the news that sake breweries in Ishikawa were devastated.
Is the recovery progressing? I often hear the news that aid is not getting to those in need 😞.
I hope that all kinds of support will be provided and the devastated sake breweries will be able to recover.
As for the taste, it has a gentle sweetness and well-balanced acidity 😋...it's really delicious 😋😋 I want to drink it again next year!
Japanese>English
Sake with a beautiful taste.
It is moderately sweet, but has a good balance of umami, acidity, and sharpness.
Japanese>English
Okunoto's Shirakiku was brewed by Kuroemon XVI with rice left over from Shirakiku's sake brewery due to the earthquake disaster.
When you hear such an episode, you have no choice but to drink it.
I tried it with a classical sake-like image, but it was too easy to drink and too delicious, with an exquisite sense of balance.
It is good.

Manufactured in 2024.04. Purchased from Kazuma Sake Brewery because it is said to be delicious. It has a strong umami taste. 300ml bottle.
Japanese>English
Since I had business in Kanazawa, I chose to drink Kaga and Noto sake...at night.
However, Omimachi Shokudo was out of Takeba, so I went to another restaurant that had it in stock.
The sake is a great complement to the snacks we had with it. It was so good that I went looking for it in Kanazawa Hyakubangai and bought a bottle. It is a treasure of Noto that I don't want to lose.
Japanese>English
Support Noto by drinking at home. Takeba", a famous sake from Kazuma Shuzo in Noto Town, was brewed into sake by Kurumata Shuzo in Hakusan City. It is a refreshing and delicious sake. Good luck, Noto!
