Sukigokoro

Suto Shuzo Ehime

Melon-flavored Fruity Pineapple Tranquil Fruity Sweetness Acidity Soft

Matsuyama Mitsui Junmai. It is soft to the touch and crisp and dry.

Japanese>English

This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

Japanese>English

Ehime, Saijo City. Suto Sake Brewery Co. Jukishin Nikkomaru Junmai Mild Nigori We casually found a light nigori at a liquor store after a long time. It is a sake brewed by three brothers who are the only family members in the family. I bought it because it was the first time I had ever tasted a sake brewed with Nikomaru other than Hiran. I was advised that it blows a little when opening the bottle, so I opened the bottle with caution. I let it rise to the surface a little, tighten it, and then loosen it a little and let the bubbles rise for about 10 seconds. I was able to open the bottle successfully👍 We will drink it cold. The supernatant was not drunk due to automatic stirring. The color is cloudy with fine bubbles rising for a short while. The aroma is mild, with a hint of melon. It has a slight melon-like aroma. The mouthfeel is a little bubbly. The taste starts with a bitter bitterness, and when swallowed, a slight rice flavor spreads and tightens up, The sake is crisp and clear, even though it is negative. I'm not sure about the Nikomaru-ness, but I've had a lot of light nigori that are bitter 🤔. Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice malt(domestic) Ingredients:100% Nikomaru rice Sake degree: -1.5 Acidity: 1.8 Polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol level: 16

Yamatogokoro

Takeda Shuzo Ehime

Glue-like Melon-flavored

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ We returned to the Yomiuri Shimbun booth again. We tasted "Yamato Kokoro" which we hadn't tasted yet. I have seen Takeda's "Ehime Ichie" before, but this was my first time to taste "Nihon Kokoro". The brewing water is from the "Uchinuki" spring in the Ishizuchi mountain range. Ehimeichikai" is a new brand launched by Shozo Takeda, the head brewer of the brewery. Nihon Shin Michi Junmai Daiginjo A well-balanced, high quality sake with sweetness, umami, and bitterness. It has a little bit of a tang. I think it would have been better if it was chilled. The label is a chic black and white horizontal stripe, I don't know what kind of sake it is😅.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

Japanese>English

Glutinous rice four-step sweetness and and juicy sourness and juicy acidity are well balanced and harmonized It's so good!

Nakashirohonke Shuzo Ehime

Neat Umami Steady Full-bodied

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑯. Yomiuri Shimbun booth. Nakagusuku Honke Sake Brewing Company is a small, family-run brewery located deep in a mountain village on the border with Kochi Prefecture, producing less than 200 koku of sake. No wonder you don't see them in the Kansai region. Jogawago Daiginjo Shizukushuzake Sotsukku Ichi It is spicy from the start, but clean and refreshing. Elegant sweetness and spiciness. I was surprised that it came in a small light green bottle for the sake on display. I had to try this rare brand of high quality sake!

Japanese>English

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑫ Jogawago, a name you've heard of but never seen before A 500ml bottle for the sake competition 😳 I googled it and it looks like it costs about 3000 yen. It was fruity, dry, beautiful and expensive sake! I wonder if it's hard to make it unique when the rice is polished 🤔. The basic taste is so similar that it's hard to understand 💦. I drank Ehime sakes with similar specs in rapid succession, so my impressions of other sakes may be mixed up 🙄.

Japanese>English

The taste is clean and refreshing with just the right amount of sharpness.

Sukigokoro

Suto Shuzo Ehime

Floral Umami Chocolate Yogurt

Purchased while traveling in Ehime Prefecture. I did not expect much from the name, but it was quite tasty. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy, and can be served cold or hot, but I especially liked it hot. I especially liked it when it was heated up. It has more umami and sharpness when heated. I would like to try another Junmai from this brewery as it is a very cost-effective sake.

The alcohol content is -2.0, but it doesn't seem too sweet. On the contrary, it even feels spicy. It's been a while since I've had a Jukishin, and I enjoyed it.

Dogokurazake

Minakuchi Shuzo Ehime

Yakult

7 points (Wife 7.5) Rice : Ehime Shizuku Ehime Rice polishing ratio : 60 Sake Degree : ±0 Purchased from: Mizuguchi Shuzo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture Silent when opened, no gassiness Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of rice flavor. The same mild aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. Overall, it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is good for accompanying a meal, but it may be too smooth as a stand-alone sake. The taste may have changed since the one I bought from a brewery in Ehime this time last year came out of the fridge. It went well with spicy grilled minos and Umaibo shrimp mayonnaise flavor.

Japanese>English

This sake has a fresh and clean taste, which is typical of a nama-zakoro-zaké and aluzaké. It was a little sweeter than the Chifuku unpasteurized sake we had previously tasted, which made it a more pleasant sake to drink. If you don't drink it on a trip to Dogo Onsen or get it as a souvenir, the impact may be a little weak. ⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Fresta.

Yumetsukiyo (Dreamy Moon)

Eiko Shuzo Ehime

Clean

Gifts. Easy to drink with a nice and light taste. We had it on the rocks 😊.

Japanese>English

4.5+/5 Smooth and delicious and pleasantly sweet. White chocolate, cream, honey, honeydew melon, chamomile, stone. More like “Creamy Moon”! Nice confident sweetness, but doesn’t feel at all cloying. Really smooth and creamy. Almost no acidity. There’s some earthy background bitterness that’s balanced out well by the sweetness, don’t feel too strong, yet there’s a gentle power to it. Pleasant dry finish. Really enjoyable, one of the best sakés I’ve had so far!

Sweet and sour, cold and room temperature 112111 Aged sake but not so peculiar. Delicious both hot and cold.

Japanese>English

With the warmer weather increasing, the cherry buds are gradually starting to break open here. Yes, I've been waiting for this! 😙🍶💕 The cherry blossom pattern and coloring is so cute ♡♡♡♡♡! I think I'll enjoy it as a cup for now during the cherry blossom season. But that aside, let's taste 😚🍶💕 My first impression when I opened the cup in a chilled state. Oh, this is the guy who tastes good when heated up 💡. The ginjo aroma made my heart flutter ♡. I took a sip and thought, "Oh, no, this is not the one that tastes good without heating it up! No, this is the one that tastes good even without heating it up. It is soft on the palate, umami, and easy to drink with no sharpness or strange habits. It seems to be easy to match with any dishes, so it's a great idea to bring it to Hanami 👍. Thank you for the food: ☺️
