It has a lightness that goes down smoothly and quickly into the stomach, and yet, with each breath, an elegant aftertaste trails off from the nose, making it a very beautiful sake that is both assertive and cooperative.
Serve with salad chicken and smoked cheese
I ordered a label I had never seen before.
It is a rare sake that is only sold at a few sake stores in Japan. It is sweet and finishes with the bitterness of the rice. It is delicious! Each sake has a strong flavor, but they seem to be somewhat thin.
The label says the production date is 2023/9.
It is tasty enough, but I would have liked to drink it with new sake.

One of the sakes 🍶 I like to drink every once in a while is Katano Sakura🌸.
It has a thick and deep flavor, composed of bold sweetness and acidity 😋.
This robust mouthfeel goes well with takoyaki🐙, but unfortunately there was no takoyaki🐙 at Tsukiji & all the standing drink & sake bars 😭.
Buy at the brewery ①.
19-20% alcohol by volume
Bitter on the tongue at first.
Umami and sweetness follow later.
A little sluggish
It's quite good...

On the way back from Hiroshima Saijo, we got off at Shin-Osaka and stopped by Tokujiro's Takoyaki 🐙 in Yodoyabashi 😆.
Sake 🍶 is Katano Sakura ❗️
It looks slightly amber 👀.
Slowly but surely, the bone-dry sweetness, faintly melon🍈? Kiwi🥝? I can feel the sweetness like a melon🍈 or kiwi🥝.
There is also a ginjo aroma if you drink it without hesitation 😆.
The takoyaki is creamy inside. The sauce is salted mayonnaise, which is excellent 😚.
The hot takoyaki is cooled down with Kata no Sakura 💧.
The bitterness, which I did not feel with the sake alone, lifts the flavor of the takoyaki, and the ginjo aroma is soooooo good 🥹.
I ended up having a glass of Katanozakura🌸✖️3😁.
I can go on forever with this 😋.
This time it is Junmai Daiginjo Shira-Sakura from Katano Sakura.
I'm going to change my job this fall, and I received a nice one as a retirement gift.
Thank you very much for your kindness 🙏.
It is served at room temperature.
It has a slight yellowish hue.
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of apple.
The taste is a robust Junmai Daiginjo with a gentle sweetness and umami.
The bitterness is also well balanced and has a nice sharp taste.
The soft sweetness and moderate acidity make it a good match with Japanese food.
A lovely bouquet of flowers and sake,
I would like to thank everyone who helped me prepare for this event,
Let's go to the next place of work 💨.
Hi, Hirupeco 😃.
Changing jobs takes a lot of energy 🔥 but a nice bouquet of flowers 💐 and a gift of a good drink 🎁 will give you energy for the Next Step 🥹.
I'm cheering for you from the east 📣Good luck 👋
Good evening, Hirupeco-san.
I see you are changing jobs. Lovely flowers and good drinks - Hirupeko-san's love of alcohol is pervasive 😁✨✨.
A drink with everyone's kindness and memories, and then go to the next step 😊!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. It's been a while since I've written a resume, taken stock of my life, had an exciting interview, and changing jobs takes a lot of energy 🔌I'm grateful to my family for allowing me to do so as I've decided to devote myself to something I love with all my heart 🙏.
Good evening, ma-ki. I didn't talk much about my love of sake at work. When I resigned from my job, I told them I was quitting because I love sake, and they said I was such a crazy person 💧 and gave me the job 🤣I'll do my best next time 💪.
Peco, thank you for your hard work 💐.
Your favorite sake 🍶 and bouquet 💐, I know you were loved at your place of work 😊I know it must be tough even though it's what you love to do but please do your best 🙏 I'm rooting for you 📣.
Thank you for your service, Miss Peco 🙇.
So you are going on a new path with a bottle of sake in your hand as a retirement gift!
Sake to you in your new workplace! I hope to see your face soon!
I'll be coming to see you soon 💨
Corner liquor store within 🚶30 minutes walking distance from my house? Paid tasting 🍶.
I tried a brand I've been wanting to try 😋!
Junmai-yama Unfiltered Nama sake! All in one bottle!
I drank too much of everything else and can't remember what it tasted like.
Good morning, Ao 😃.
It's nice to be able to have a corner bar within walking distance 😊Nice to start with local sake 🍶👍If you enjoy drinking it, it's OK that it was all good 🤗.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's a 30 minute walk so just the right distance before drinking 😁 I've never had Katano Sakura before 👌 Everything tastes better in a good atmosphere 😋.
This is the sake that made me fall in love with sake.
I love the deep richness and the witty acidity swing.
It has a sweet and mellow aroma with a hint of riceiness.
It is a sake that makes me want to drink it slowly, one-on-one with the sake and myself, because it stimulates my senses so much.
It is not available at my local liquor store, and I was able to purchase it while on the road for the first time in a long time 👏.
I love this sake with all my heart.
The fluffy Japanese paper label is also cool and makes me excited.
☀️
Lime 🍋🟩 type sweet and sour smell and taste.
The light carbonation assists the refreshing feeling.
The finish is clean.
It's so different from Yamahai that I thought it was a different brand.
You have to compare 😅
Yamano Shuzo
Katano Sakura Yamahai Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Yamadanishiki
This brewery is located in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture.
The rice is polished to 65% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture.
Mild aroma, calm rice flavor, deep richness, and moderate acidity.
deep richness, and moderate acidity,
Full-bodied taste.
