The gentle aroma after opening the bottle and the fruity feeling on the palate come, and then comes the mild acidity and sharpness, it is still delicious.
This is the last post for this year.
Please be careful not to drink too much ⚠️ and have a happy new year ^_^!
3.9 ★★★☆☆☆
I have the impression that the strong flavor of the original sake is rather just strong. There is not that much flamboyance, and although there is a hint of sweetness due to the daiginjo, it feels dry. The aftertaste is a little off-putting.
It's not bad, but I'm glad I didn't open it at the beginning of the year. LOL!
Not sweet sweet sake.
The bitterness of the last taste is strong.
It is cloudy, so it has body. It goes well with boiled spinach and takowasai. It does not go well with pancakes.
Tonight's ICHI-GO-KAN is Matsuoka Brewery from Hiki-gun, Saitama. It has an alcoholic taste, but it is not cloying, and the sweetness comes in slowly. It is not special, and would go well with everyday lunch and dinner.
The impact of the label, in any case!
The words "THE SAITAMA" and "MIKADOMATSU" in English and an illustration of two arms.
I was drawn in by the glittering design, which seemed to divide opinion, and bought it without hesitation.
It is characterized by the taste and sharpness of rice.
I also wonder if it has a strong bitter taste.
Since it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is high at 18%, and I felt it had a stronger character.
However, the sake itself does not have the same bad taste as the label. It is a sake that can be enjoyed in everyday life!

Good evening, brother 😃.
The Chichibu Yakitori with Whale Bacon looks so delicious 😊.
Definitely one to pair with sake✨.
I'd love to try the new Teisho sake too 🍶.
Honjozo sake (pure brewed sake) 🍶🍶.
2025 Ogawa-machi Sake Brewery Festival🪅.
On the rocks 🧊 Aroma of maturity. Not as heavy as expected. Best match with red ginger crackers. It's a marriage. Sourness with candy toppings. Good with junk snacks👍.
Purchased at Sake Brewery @ Ogawamachi, Tokyo 20250302
We went to a certain restaurant we had always wanted to visit.
For my first drink, I asked the staff for a recommendation and was given a brand I had never heard of, which had just been stocked today! I liked it very much. It was a pineapple type, not too sweet and sharp. I had never heard of this sake brewery, so I am very curious about them now.
Sake given to me by my boss. I am a junmai (pure rice) drinker, but sometimes I like to try a ginjo. I counted up the number of breweries that have registered their sake stamps, and found that there are now 57 breweries from Akita in the north to Kagoshima in the south. I would like to visit more sake breweries in western Japan.
