This sake was definitely going to be the last one if I were to conquer all the prefectures of sake🍶.
My kid who went to Okinawa bought me the one that is only available in Okinawa as a souvenir.
When you open the bottle, the color of the sake is red from the unique sweet aroma!
The taste is also unique and a bit sour.
It is a sake that I have never tasted before and I thought it would be good for those who want to taste something different.
Hi Nokoaki 😃
I'm sure you've got a lot of Okinawan sake 🍶 to conquer in Japan! You must have good kids to bring back a bottle of Reimei Junmai Sake as a souvenir 🤗A little more to go! I see that there are a few more prefectures left 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
I've been enjoying buying sake in stores without using mail order, so I've given up on mail order for Reimei, but I didn't expect this!
I'm sure you're right 💦 I'm going to enjoy the sake life while having fun with that too!

Tonight we had a rare sake.
Japan's southernmost sake😮.
When you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet aroma.
Not what I imagined 🤔.
On the palate, light acidity and fruity
The taste spreads.
It's pretty tasty 😆.
Just a reminder 🙏.
I came to "Mozu" in Yokogawa, the second restaurant of the day, for the first time in a long time...it was on the stamp rally card I got at "SAKE BASE" 😅.
I finally got to drink this sake from Okinawa, the southernmost brewery in Japan 🤩.
It is indeed very peculiar 🍶.
A friend in Okinawa sent me one 🍾.
The color is light pink. Rare.
The aroma is faintly tingling.
In the mouth, one senses a powerful acidity, but also a sense of a buzz. Although alcohol is felt, it soon disappears as if the alcohol taste shrinks inward, and bitterness is felt.
A day after opening, the alcohol and bitterness have decreased. Easier to drink. ❗️
It can be likened to a refreshing shochu. It is good even if you drink it on the rocks.
A new taste that I have never had before ✨
Kansai Sake-new year party ㉓
Following Hatsumigoyo, we drank Reimei
I never thought I would have a chance to drink Reimei again 😳.
After the Hatsumidai, the sake was very matured and had a very strong "The Sake" feel to it 💦.
I also had Sagami Daisen and Shichiken, but I can't take a picture of the labels and can't remember what they tasted like, so I'll skip those.
Good evening, bouken-san. That's an amazing amount of alcohol 😳23 so far, and it's amazing that you can keep track of that, but if you include the ones you forgot, you must have drunk a lot more! I can feel how much fun you had at the party 🤣.
Hi Hirupeco 😊
What is this drink even at the first meeting? I don't know even though I drank it. I think I forgot to take pictures 😅.
I'm sure you had a great time 🤣.
This is Reimei, famous for Okinawa's only sake, a demon's gateway if you are trying to conquer the 47 prefectures of Okinawa. They use air conditioning to make sake in the subtropical climate.
It tastes like classic sake with a strong graininess, but when drunk on the rocks, it is refreshing and tasty with a slight sweetness.
It has a strong flavor, so it might be better on the rocks or hot sake. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes.
★3.5
Classical but not that bad. Compared to traditional honjozo, it is an easy-drinking category. It ran out quickly when I drank it with food.
I would like to drink it again when I go to Okinawa, but I think I'm done with it as a souvenir.
When I visited Okinawa last month, I requested a tour of the Taiseki Sake Brewery, but was told that due to the aging of the factory, the tour is not available at this time. ...... Instead, I bought a bottle as a souvenir at a liquor store that I was told about.
The aroma was slightly fermented, perhaps because it is a tropical sake. The taste has a strong rice flavor due to the 70% rice polishing ratio, as well as a touch of astringency and bitterness. It goes well with dishes with strong flavors.
My son brought me a souvenir of "Reimei," the only sake made in Okinawa, the southernmost tip of Japan. It is a somewhat sweet sake, but also has a heavy, nostalgic flavor.
4.0
Finally, the only sake available in Okinawa. I got it through Furusato tax payment.
It has a strong acidity. However, it is not so bad when you drink it.
Okinawa's only sake, I decided to try it with my meek soul 😳.
First of all, I was surprised at the pink color 🫢.
I was nervous that it would be a bit peculiar, but the aroma was sweet, and when I took a quick sip, I felt a hint of sweetness, which was surprisingly normal for a sake!
But when I tasted it, I felt the strength of the sake.
It tasted like sake I've had somewhere else, a hire-shu or a cooked sake,?
I don't think people who like dry sake will resist 🍶.
Just not my taste, I guess. (A little taste of cheap sake...)
I wonder what the honjozo tastes like, one time is enough for now lol.
