Lately all I've been doing is beer and ciders, and I thought I'd have a sake day, but I fell asleep...
I've always been curious about it, but Toyoake doesn't carry much of it.
This time, I'm going to use the label to get these fireworks.
Fruity and sweet like a ripe banana, but without much acidity.
The taste is rich and sweet like banana, very rich for a summer sake.
The sharpness is moderate and leaves a slight aftertaste, but it is not persistent.
It is an unusual summer sake with a sweet taste that is typical of Toyoake.
If I had to say, I would prefer melon to banana flavors.
They use Saitama G yeast, a yeast that brings out the ginjo aroma.
It has a very fruity taste, and has a sourness and sweetness as if it were brewed with koji.
The balance of acidity and dark fruity taste is very tasty.
This can aim for Japan from Saitama, seriously!
A limited edition sake with a slight effervescence and vigor.
As the snowman's appearance suggests, this sake is cloudy white.
My personal impression is that this kind of sake tends to be sweet, but this one is dry and crisp.
It is refreshing and can be served with both strong and light meals.
This sake brewery in Saitama is getting better and better, so I am sure it will bounce one day!

Sizzling mouthfeel. It is a banana, but the sourness makes it more like passion fruit. Ripe pineapple. It tastes similar to Koueikiku. It tastes more like juice than sake. It is interesting that this is the only sake they make. It is totally different from the Toyoake I had at the sake terrace before.

First time drinking sake @TOYOSU SAKE TERRACE
It has a juicy mouthfeel with a rich sweetness and a strong spiciness with umami. Quite delicious.
It is not yet on the market.
Straightforward rice ginjo aroma, with well-balanced acidity and sweetness on the palate.
Very beautiful and high level. I would recommend it to anyone.
Sake with pleasant acidity made with white malted rice. The banana-flavored sweet aroma, the rice flavor, and the crisp acidity are exquisite and best accentuated.
This is very good. I heard that they will never make it again, but I really hope they do.
Vending machine type tasting machine. I tried it out, and was told that it had a sake degree of -16. I like sweet sake, but it was a little too sweet for me. It has a mellow flavor.
Today we have a new nigorizake
Nigori from a small sake brewery in Saitama
Limited edition of 300 bottles
Alcohol content 15 degrees
There was a lot of swooshing to open the bottle.
After struggling for over 5 minutes, the bottle was opened.
Mix it up well and take a sip.
It's a bit dry and dry, a delicious nigorizake!
Today we had Sukiyaki, and it was the perfect sake for a meal.
We enjoyed it very much.

This sake is from Ishii Shuzo, a brewery in Satte, Saitama.
This is the first time I've had this brand, so I was excited to open the bottle.
The aroma was a harmonious combination of fruity and alcoholic sensations. The taste seems to be characterized by acidity and sweetness. Immediately after opening the bottle, the balance was a bit coarse, but after a few days, the balance of aroma, acidity, sweetness, and sharpness harmonized perfectly, making it a very delicious sake 😋.
However, at the time when I reached the balance I liked best, there was not a single pint left, which made me sad😢.
But I'm glad I was adventurous🎶.
