It was raining ☔ from this morning... 😰.
I feel tired just going to work 😭
Well, I'll forget such fatigue by drinking 😁.
Today I'm going to drink some local sake 🍶.
So...I'm going to open a bottle of Shirakoh Tokujun, which I had a while ago and it was delicious ✨.
I had a 4-stage brewed sweet and tasty sake that I liked, and I thought it must be one of the best Hakko's 🤔.
I thought I'd try the standard first! I was thinking 🙂↕️
Well, first of all, the aroma....hmmm....not there! No 😨.
The first sip from the first sip is no matter how you look at it, it has the spiciness of a food sake... but you can feel a little bit of a kick 🫧.
But after that, the taste from the middle to the end of the sip is indescribably blank... or is it? It's like a blank space.
I've never felt this kind of aftertaste 🤔.
I don't know... not enough or unbalanced 😅
All in all... subtle 😓.
If I were to buy the same 300ml or so sake, I would definitely buy Kamogane's special pure green label or Gotohashi's Junmai Nama 👌
Day 2: 🗒️
The second day since I had some left over... but no change in taste! Hmmm, no repeat for this taste 😭
This is the first brand I have ever had.
Nice smell!
Fluchy I can also recognize the muskratiness. I thought it would be more of a robust sake, but it was a modern Choki-Choki-Zu.
I found this quiz on the way home. This is made from a sake cap.
It seems that you are not allowed to ride with a fan either.
Hello Manachie-san, This is the back door of a tavern that has a lot of dry sake. I have requested that they have a little more mellow sake, so I am reforming the sake menu.
A simple, refreshing taste typical of summer sake.
It has a moderate sweetness and a refreshing acidity, but the umami in the back end is a little strong for drinking on a hot day.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. I was back home with my parents and this sake is only available in Hiroshima prefecture. I was happy with this dry, robust and delicious sake. It was a perfect match for the fish from the Setouchi area. We had a happy moment. I am grateful to be able to drink healthy and delicious sake.
Honjozo 🍶.
Second glass of the sake tasting set 😆.
Quite yellow 😳 Daruma Masamune type aroma. Light even after aging. Not bad. Might be better if it was heated up 🤔 with octopus tempura 🐙😋.

Evening drinks at home.
After work, I bought some snacks and drank sake.
The second bottle was a bottle of Shirakoh Norori Special Junmai Hi-ire.
The second bottle was a bottle of Shirakoh Norori Tokubetsu Junmai Hi-ire. The color is almost clear. The aroma
The aroma is mildly rummy with a slight gasiness.
It has a slight gassy feeling. The bubbles are weaker than the previous information from the liquor store.
The bubbles are weaker than previously reported at the liquor store. Atmospherically, it may be similar to Yamekoto Hajime, which we drank earlier.
I wonder if it is similar to Yamekoto Hajime, which I drank earlier. It has a gentle taste with a hint of lychee.
The taste is gentle, with a hint of lychee.
It was delicious with simmered deep-fried bean curd and kirikonbu
I enjoyed it with simmered deep-fried bean curd and kombu (kiri konbu), pickled kibi-maiko (kibi girl)
It's been a while since I've had a chance to drink some sake from outside of the prefecture... so today I'm going to try some sake from within the prefecture 🍶.
I've been curious about this one for a while, but I haven't had a chance to drink it yet 😅.
This is "Shirakoh" brewed by Morikawa Shuzo located near the port town of Yasura-cho, Kure City 💁.
To be honest... I have never been a fan of sake brewed with soft water brewing method (especially from breweries around Saijo) because of its sweetness and sticky aftertaste in general, coupled with my preconceived notions about it, with a few exceptions 😓.
So I decided to buy it to break through my preconceived notions. ‼️🤣
Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble, but here we go!
The aroma isn't that strong and doesn't change much when poured into a glass 🤔.
I couldn't see the 🫧shuwa feeling of the sake... but anyway, I took a sip: 🙂↕️
Oh! This is an apple juice 🧃🙆 with a pretty good balance of sweetness and sourness, as well as a nice sharpness and aftertaste.
Rather... with this balance, it's a good level to have in souvenir stores ❗️ I'd rather have it 😭
Nice balance for aperitifs and after-dinner drinks 👌
2nd day🗒️
Stable balance of sweetness and sourness...maybe a little more alcohol in the aftertaste 😅.
But in general, easy to drink and delicious‼️
