The second round of the sake comparison started with a sake from Kyoto. The deciding factors were the fact that I had never had a proper sake even though I live close to my parents' house, the fact that this was my first time drinking Yamahai, and the fact that Kyo-no-Kiraki, a rare sake rice, was available.
The first round was similar to the first round of the Teioh Night. The aroma and acidity are increased, but the taste is more refreshing. The old-fashioned label is also somewhat Kyoto-like.
I went to Kyoto over the drive year.
The manager recommended the restaurant to us.
He was very attentive and the sake was very good!
Very well balanced sake. I want to drink it again.
Happy New Year ⛩🎍.
Takeno Sake Brewery again this year, following last year.
This year's sparkling is less sweet and more refreshing.
It goes well with sashimi, sushi, and fried food.
Empty bottle in the blink of an eye😅!
Buy it at the brewery
Have a great year 😃.
Happy New Year, @Mizuhashi ⛩.
It is a great pleasure to visit breweries with hundreds of years of history 😆 I feel the weight of history!
I look forward to working with you again this year!
Happy New Year, Hi Ace 🌅.
I look forward to working with you again this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
That's a cool label that looks transformative! We'd love to take the time to cruise around too: ‼️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby ⛩.
I look forward to working with you again this year.
I visited Seitama Sake Brewery in Tokushima City in December, but all the sake was sold out, and that was only sold at the brewery!
I cried and cried 😭 heading back home.
This year's slaughter.
The bottle was opened with a small pop. Slightly sparkling.
Refreshing acidity and sweetness. It is like a white wine, but with the flavor of rice. It is so delicious that it naturally brings a smile to my face. This year is also a good start.
The stylish label is partially decorated with glitter. The label says it uses malic acid high-productivity yeast. Purchased at Tomiya, Kyoto Station.
Kyotango, overnight stay in a car
We visited Takeno Sake Brewery, which was also our purpose.
In the small store, we tasted four kinds of sake while chatting with the brewer, ranging from regular-priced to super-premium 130,000 yen.
All of them were so delicious!
I forgot to take a picture😅.
When the bottle is opened, there is a fizzy feeling as if it is about to pop!
Fresh apple aroma!
Delicious sweetness and umami 😋😋.
A little bitterness and sourness will be refreshing and clean.
Overall a good balance👍
The sake brewed by Takeno Shuzo captivates me.
Buy at the brewery
The local sake from Kyotango, which I received as a hometown tax payment, continues from today.
First up is Yaetsuru.
It seems to be written "Shuku-kura-mai" and read "Iai-kurabu" 🍶.
It is made from Kyoto's sake rice, Shuku.
It said be careful opening the bottle but it didn't feel gassy at all lol.
Maybe because it was sent at room temperature 🤔.
It was a food sake with a good taste of rice 🙆♂️
I heard from the toji that this year's Kame-no-o Nama-zake had a good reputation, so I bought it. From the moment I opened the package, the popping sound and white smoke gave me a sense of anticipation. It is a sweet sake to begin with, but it has a slight effervescence, is not habitual, is slightly sweet, and is quite easy to drink. This is too delicious. It's a pity that I can't always buy it in this condition because it's not heated. 90 points.
You can see it fizzing with pizzazz.
Chemical melon, punchy aroma.
Red flesh melon aroma with orangey acidity.
Clear mouthfeel with a 19° attack.
A lively sake.
Delicious with stewed root vegetables and pork belly.
Taste level ☆3/5
Nigori (nigori) sake from today. I don't know if it goes well with the 6 kinds of sashimi we also bought from Kyotango, but they were all delicious. It was sweet and had a New Year's feeling. 80 points.
Do the obvious without making a fool of yourself.
I have been told this in the company for a long time, and I realize that it is true.
I shave the ginger just before eating it, and shave the katsuobushi just before eating it. Drink sake quietly and in silence.
A bar in Pontocho. Time stops and we drink and drink while listening to the quiet sounds of the kitchen. I drank too much.
Yamahai Junmai from Yaetsuru.
Not as good as Tamagawa's, but it's a solid Yamahai, clear and tasty, and heavy.
Pleasant aged aroma! Gentle and acidic, but with a unique flavor that cannot be expressed 🧐 Delicious from room temperature to hot sake!
Good at room temperature to hot sake!
Sparkling sake I bought on a trip to Kyoto in September.
At first it was too sweet, but when I drank it again about a week after opening it, it had settled down nicely and was delicious!
Purchased at a co-op. They said it was recommended to be refrigerated, but it arrived at room temperature...
The type that pops (not blows up) even when it's in refrigeration.
Is it okay to have a crown type when it's such a rambunctious one!
Taste is straightforward. Easy to drink without any twists. It's cool to see the full name of the rice producer on it..!
I bought this bottle on a recent trip to Tango, Kyoto.
The juicy flavor spreads in the mouth, but it is not dull and very tasty and can be drunk one after another.
Kyoto is large
150 km from north to south
Minamiyamashiro Village in the south
Kyotango City in the north
Kyoto is famous for Fushimi, but there are many sake breweries here as well.
Whatever it is, it's delicious!
The first sip of this sake is a punchy one, but it is a good sake that adds umami to the food when drunk with a side dish. Delicious.
The entrée was salmon with cream cheese.
It has a refreshing melon-like taste and a mellow chestnut-like taste. The chestnut-like sweetness in the back of the bottle is a taste of Yaetsuru, which is also found in Kameo Kuramai. 83 points.
