Sake from the sake hanpukai at a local liquor store.
Light and sweet with 13% alcohol.
The impression is that it is refreshing but thin.
A tangy alcohol taste lingers in the aftertaste.
Japanese>English
ごう
It has a moderate ginjo aroma. After a smooth taste, it has a subtle grain sweetness and a slight acidity. The aftertaste is crisp, and the bitterness and slight astringency at the end make it good with a meal. You can drink it slowly.

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day.
It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use.
When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see.
I don't think it should be chilled too much.
If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you.
I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while.
There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic.
Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?

Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store.
Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste.
This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku.
The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi.
It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity.
As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

A clean and refreshing taste with no bitterness.
Japanese>English
ごう
Store-aged for 6 months after opening. It has a solid aroma of grain. The first sip has a delicious rice flavor that spreads and is accompanied by a moderate sense of maturity, as well as sourness and bitterness. The finish is moderately sharp with a light bitterness. Although there is a slight hiney feeling, the sake has a strong, light flavorful image.

Normal sake, dry, not particularly impressive.

Kitanosho酒米楽酒 神力 純米吟醸
一本義 仙介🇺🇦
This is a sake from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, found in a supermarket in Akashi.
I have never seen this design before, but it was sold side by side with a similar design from Akashi's Ibaraki Sake Brewery and one other sake brewer, so it may have been part of some project.
Dry and pungent taste that rises before sweetness.
It rises crisply and disappears with a slight lingering aftertaste when served with food. The second sip is followed by a strong umami. After a short pause, the spiciness is again pronounced, and the sake is ready to be drunk again. It is irresistible.
How about if you heat it up?
The spiciness comes through to the nose. It is quite strong.
The umami comes out on the whole surface, and it is assertive even if it is combined with the entrée. The pungent spiciness and umami disappear while being well accepted.
This acceptance is also a nice touch.
It is nice to encounter sake from one's hometown in a distant city.

あめりあちゃん
goodbye
I'm not the one who's destined to drink. It's hard, but I can't deny it.
But it's hard to stay away.
It's hard just to lick that water.
Sweet. No, no, no.
Good bye.
So what's booze for me then? I don't know the answer.
I don't even want to know.
If there's one thing I know for sure.
I hate labor.

ごう
Already, it's a must for winter drinking.

Purchased in Fukui Prefecture.
The moment I put it in my mouth, it was light and dry.
I thought it would just end up tasting light and simple, but the moment I closed my mouth and took a breath, my mouth was filled with flavor 👀.
The label said it was a green apple.
The aftertaste was rich and sweet? It was delicious!
It was delicious ☺️.
