I chose Yamanoi as my new drink 👍.
Gentle taste, dry and spicy....yummy 😆.
It's a good sake 😆.
That's the last one for today✨
I drank a little too much😅.
Good evening! I see you're a local 😌I was kindly given one of the last remaining cups, so I'll remember it well and drink it the next time I see you: ⭕️
I received this sake to compare with Yamanoi's 50. I found out later that this one seems to be made from four different types of rice.
It has a melon-like taste, and the yeast may be the same as that of Yamanoi 50. This one has a little more umami and sweetness, and has a mellow and delicious taste.
I drank it with Matsumae pickles, and it was quite good. It might be good with something salty.
Yamanoi is a brewery in Fukushima, and the toji, Kagehiro Watanabe, makes sake based on the concept of "brewing sake with a free spirit. Fukushima Prefecture has many high-level sake breweries, and we have high expectations for this one.
My impression is that it has a fruity, melon-like flavor. The rice polishing ratio is 50, and the taste is clean and refreshing without any cloying flavors.
I had never been aware of Yamanoi before, but it was very tasty.
Hello.
Thank you for complimenting me on my sake from Minamiaizu Town!
It's a 7 minute drive from my parents' house and a 5 minute bike ride from my grandfather's house.
Hi NABE!
It is so nice that you have your parents' house near a sake brewery! Fukushima has a high level of sake brewing, so it would be fun to go on a sake brewery tour or something. I envy you.

I couldn't resist the urge to drink some of the mountain wells, so I went to Antenna House and bought some 🤗.
As I thought, it's not too sweet and refreshing ✨.
It has a little bitterness at the end 😖.
Without the bitterness, it might be too clean and not enough 🤔.
It's a nice accent 😚.
It's a drink I want to drink every once in a while 🤗.
Amanogawa is the second installment of the project to compare Yamanoi's seasonal sake, whose labels are not distinguishable at a glance.
Last time, I wrote that the sweetness, spiciness (in this case, I imagine the alcohol aroma cutting through), acidity, and bitterness were in perfect balance, and the flavor disappeared smoothly without changing from the attack to the aftertaste, but the overall impression is that the flavor has become gentler.
In addition, I don't know if it is a kind of aging aroma, but I felt a lingering aroma like that of Shaoxing wine.
I don't know the specs so I can't say for sure, but I got the impression that this sake is more like something that has been laid down to sleep.
If I had to choose which one I prefer, I would say I prefer the shooting star..........................
This is the first shooting star of the project to compare Yamanoi's seasonal sake, whose labels are not distinguishable at a glance.
The sweetness, spiciness (in this case, the aroma of alcohol gives the impression of cutting through), acidity, and bitterness are in just the right balance, and the taste disappears smoothly without changing from the attack to the aftertaste.
It is said to be a blend of three different sakes, but the harmony is so exquisite that one wonders if it was blended to balance the flavors.
According to the liquor store, either the Amanogawa or this shooting star will be sold out, so I will taste them carefully....
The aroma is floral and fruity, or really flowery and fresh.
When you put it in your mouth, a firm sweetness spreads first. But there is not that much aroma that goes into the nose from there, and it goes down the throat gently, kind of like water. It may be a good sake because it is easy to drink, but my preference would be for a more robust sake.

Thanks for your comment!
Minamiaizu is nice, isn't it? I have good memories of drinking a set of Minamiaizu sake popular among locals, which I drank when I stayed at Ouchi-juku!
At a BBQ!
I usually don't drink Fukushima Prefecture's sake, except for O, etc., but it was recommended to me, so I tried it!
The water is really cold in the lower temperature range! I can see why people keep drinking it!
It may not be accurate because of the time that has passed since it was corked!
3.5/5
Good evening, nabe-san!
I tend to avoid Fukushima sake because I prefer a lighter taste, but when I try Aizu Shikon, I am sometimes surprised by the taste.
