Refreshing with a strong acidity.
Living Water Kururi Sake Museum @ Kururi 20250308
It is a souvenir from Boso, No.2.
It has an elegant aroma with hints of malted rice, pear, and melon. It is the opposite of the Seisen we had earlier: ⁉️
It is soft on the palate and has a rich smoothness with a slight thickening.
The deliciousness of Yamada Nishiki was in full bloom! It was so gorgeous and so delicious!
It had the flavor and sweetness of rice, but was also crisp and spicy!
The label was stylish with a green bamboo pattern 🥰.
It is said to be a sake competition2025 Bronze Award winning sake!
Purchased at Michi-no-Eki Ukita-no-sato
Made with Fusanomai sake rice produced in Chiba Prefecture.
The mouthfeel is dry and crisp with a fruity aroma that fills the mouth.
I have the impression that most Chiba sake has a strong flavor, but this sake seems to be finished gently while retaining its sharpness.
It is a good sake to drink with food.

Takeoka Bizen Omachi Junmai Daiginjo
Today is Sake Day🍶, so I opened a bottle of this Junmai Daiginjo that I bought at the event to drink a little better sake.
Takeoka" is my personal hit of the year.
The aroma is fresh, youthful and melon-like 🍈.
The palate has a very pleasant flow from a slight gasiness to a gentle sweetness to a pleasant acidity: ☺️
The smooth finish with a nice lingering aftertaste makes me happy 😊.
I've only been immersed in the sake swamp for about a year, but it was one of those days when I wanted to spend time without forgetting to thank the people who work hard to make sake. ⭕️
MA-KI-. Good morning 😃.
Some breweries have made the hard decision to raise prices, but I understand that it is for the sake of making delicious sake, and I would like to thank them for giving color to everyone's lives 😌.
Held from June 27th to 29th
Purchased at the 24th Hankyu Brewer's Festival
In the glass, there was a good aroma that foretold of sweetness.
In the mouth, it has an elegant deep sweetness, soft acidity and a slight bitterness.
The soft acidity and slight bitterness are well-balanced.
It is like a very delicious white wine.
I wanted to praise myself for getting it.
I thought I wanted to praise myself for getting it.
But this time, it was during a heat wave,
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this wine or not, but I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this wine.
The sweetness of the taste increased,
I'm getting a pungent sensation that the sweetness is too strong 😳.
I'm not sure what to do with the good 🍶 😢.
I'll try to eat it quickly from now on.
Personally, I prefer it right after opening the package 😄.
Thank you for the food 😋.
#Drinking at home
From the moment it enters the mouth, it has a slightly effervescent taste and a firm, well-balanced flavor of acidity and sweetness, with a short aftertaste that disappears.
There is a slight bitterness that clings to the tongue, and the flavor is thick.
The taste is that of a vivacious woman who can talk to anyone without being sarcastic.
Chiba's sake is not often seen in the Kansai region, but I found several varieties at an antenna store in Hankyu Umeda Station, so I will go back to buy some more.
Hopefully, they will open a store outside the ticket gates.
Takeoka Special Junmai So no Mai
Aroma: fresh, pear-like fruity ginjo aroma
The color is beautifully clear.
Texture is slightly thick.
Light on the palate with a slightly tangy mouthfeel
Juicy sweetness and refreshing sourness spread at once
It has a pear-like flavor, but there is definitely some rice flavor inside, and the slight astringency that comes later tightens up the whole flavor.
The aftertaste leaves a tangy sensation.
The return aroma is beautiful and the soft umami of the rice leaves a presence that makes the lingering taste enjoyable.
The sake is delicious enough on its own.
It would be great with grilled white meat fish or fruit salad.

Gentle aftertaste.
#Sake
I bought this sake because it was tasted at a department store and was delicious.
I was happy to be able to buy it this time because I had enjoyed it at an event before but it was sold out.
The aroma was mild, but the sweetness and umami spread through the palate, and the finish was dry and crisp.
As the brewer said, it tastes great warmed up.
It's a good choice for a regular sake, and it can be enjoyed at different temperatures depending on one's mood.
Personally, I will be a repeat customer.
R7.6.19 From a bit of a side note to the ANA Crowne Plaza Narita by IHG lounge - I got it with one of the recommended items.
Two days later, I picked up the sake I bought for dinner and said, "Let's open the sake I bought the other day! I was reunited with the sake I drank the other day.
The sake I had in my mouth had a nice taste. A slight tang? The aftertaste is so refreshing that it disappears the moment the gorgeous aroma is released from the mouth!
The first sip is so fizzy that I felt like I was drinking champagne 😅🍶 I felt some acidity, but it has a mild texture on the tongue and finishes clean and crisp 😅🍶 In a word, it's "delicious!
I felt a little sourness, but it has a mild texture on the tongue and the final taste is clean and crisp 😅🍶In a word, it's delicious! 😊✨Yumami is the best sake after all‼️
It flows with a pineapple-like sweetness and just the right amount of acidity 🍍.
This is also a brewery that was introduced to us by Nemuchi at the Hankyu brewery event.
I had never heard of this brand, so I wondered if I should buy it, but Nemuchi-san and bouken-san said it was delicious, so I decided to buy it 💡.
The sake rice for cosmetic purposes was sold out, but I was happy to buy Omachi, which was well received by everyone at the tasting👍.
