Good day!
I know I'm late for Sake Day 🤣October has started and there are only 3 months left in this year, too soon😇😇.
I haven't had Tasake for a very long time today!
It's so delicious that I never get tired of drinking it 🥰.
Good evening, Jun-san 🌛.
I bought 3 bottles of sake at Mizukami today 🥰.
On the other hand, did you buy "Tasake" at Hayashi?
The "Tasake Special Junmai" is delicious 😋.
Hi Jive, good evening ☺️
I see you went to Mizukami-san 😎 looking forward to seeing your updates 😎.
Yes, it is Mr. Hayashi! That's what I'm talking about 🤣👏.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby: ☺️
It's been a long time since I've had a Tasake, but I've had this special Junmai before 😎I'd like to try something different: ☺️
I'm sure you'll be able to find time to have a drink with your family and friends! I'm sure we'll have time for a drink at the end of the day!
There was a Jun Dai of Kojo-nishiki, which is known as Tasake (rice wine).
Another glass at the same izakaya: ❗️
Kojonishiki 45% polished, 16% alcohol by volume
Mr. Nishida, the president of the brewery, said that 40% to 50% is the best!
He said it was good at 40% to 50%!
It is totally different from Yamahai.
The acidity and complexity are withdrawn
The sweetness comes to the fore and the taste is much more refined.
This is also delicious!
Denshu, Hinna Hinna ‼️
10/1 is Sake Day 🎵.
I participated in the sake go-around: ❗️
This is a collaborative event between izakaya and sake breweries, and if you show your purchased "SAKAZUKIN" badge, you will receive a free glass of sake from the sake brewery at each participating izakaya. ‼️
The cost of an appetizer at each izakaya is usually ¥500. ❗️
After a few drinks, walk around to the next restaurant in the area (go-around).
We will start from the izakaya where you can drink tasake (rice wine) ▶️
After the special junmai sake, we drank this jungin yamahai!
50% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume
We poured 4 cups of sake into a Tasake glass and drank it.
Oh, Tasake's Yamahai is still very tasty!
The acidity and umami are great.
Denshu, Hinna ‼️
Hi, ymdaz!
I see you participated in the Sake Go Around 🎵.
Your flyer is unique 😁✨✨.
Tasake's Yamahai Junmai is delicious 😋.
I hope to drink it again and participate in the go-around next year🤗
Hi ma-ki-😃.
The flyer is for the Tasake brewery, so there is a separate flyer for the event 😅.
Tasake's Yamahai is right up my alley: ❗️
I can't stand it!

Sake Day. These days I wish they would give out rare sake unconditionally, at least today. On such a day, I want to drink something delicious from Aomori. At that time, I happened to find Tasake's Yamahai. It was the Yamahai that won the excellence award at the competition, wasn't it? It was fortuitous! I bought it, chilled it, and went out to drink it today!
It's a yamahai, but it doesn't have the grapey flavor that is so common in modern sake. It has a fresh, fresh, sweet aroma. The flavor has both the freshness of apple and the sweetness of tangerine. The slightly sweet preparation, which is typical of tasake, is a combination of refined apple and apricot sweetness, and a full-bodied umami flavor. It is similar to yesterday's Kangiku Yamashu, but it is the work of a long-established sake brewery to do this with Yamahai. The acidity is wrapped around, and the bitterness penetrates with a thin thread. It has a complex flavor with a strong umami and sweetness. What is terrible is that this is done with Yamahai. I had an image that the taste would be similar if it was brewed in the way it was before the fast brewing. However, Tasake's Yamahai has a beautiful and refined taste that is similar to that of Hayasaku.
I especially recommend Tasake's Yamahai! Thank you again for the food and drink tonight!
Started at 13°C.
Fairly strong ginjo aroma. Aroma of grapes?
Surprisingly dry for a rice wine.
But the taste of rice spreads, so it is not aggressive.
After all, tasyu is delicious!
Before you know it, it will be October... 😱
And today is Sake Day 🍶.
I hesitate to open it even though it's the middle of the week... but of course, I have to open it now, right? It's just the atmosphere😅lol
So, I rummaged in the fridge....
Here it is! There are so many brands that I was wondering what to open... 😓.
Jyushidai, Jikin, Sansho, Shinmasa... and Tasake🤣.
I took it out with the force of "open it!
Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble... but this Akita Sake Komachi is my first drink 🤤.
When I opened the bottle, the aroma was like mellow......that's it 💡.
The aroma reminds me of Kameizumi🐢's CEL-24, which is very close ❗️
The aroma is similar to Kameizumi's ❗️... but it is more umami than Kameizumi's with a bit of spiciness and bitterness 🤔🤔.
Although the pull remains a little ... but in general, it is a good cohesion and easy to drink 🍸.
Personally, I have an image of Tazake as a middle ground that can be ripe for both the mid-meal and pre-meal repertoire, but I think this one is more for pre-meal and post-meal 😊.
We had it after dinner with a light cheese 🧀😋.
Day 2🗒️
The aroma is the same as before, but the melon is more stable.
I think the flavor has increased a little 🤔.
The balance is almost as stable as on the first day 😊.
Good morning, koi suru gulls 😃.
Akita Sake Komachi Tasake! I would love to have a bottle of this 😍 but it's great to have a distressed all-star in the pipeline 👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
This Tasake was delicious, it tasted quite sweet and melon-like: 🙂↕️
So much so that I'm thinking of buying a repeat 🤣.
Yes... the timing to open it is always a problem 😭.
A slightly gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples, with a slightly unique aroma in the back that may be derived from the Yamahai method.
From the smooth mouthfeel, the full-bodied sweetness and umami of rice reminiscent of fruit spreads out, and the final touch of acidity keeps the taste refreshing without being dulled by the sweetness.
I feel that rice wine brewed in the Yamahai method tends to be richer in flavor than rice wine brewed in the Yamahai method.
We also tried it lukewarm to top-heated, and it was very tasty!
Jiyugaoka 8
I gave you too much sake yesterday. So, I will continue with a Japanese restaurant in Jiyugaoka... (Sorry for the summary.)
As we were nearing the end of the meal, the owner asked us, "Shall we go for something more glamorous soon?
We said, "Yes, please!
The ninth drink of the day was Tazake Tokubetsu Junmai (special pure rice).
I feel like it's been a long time since I've had Tazake!
Soft sweetness.
A little riceiness in it?
I also feel a little sourness, soft impression
I'm already very drunk 🤣.
The owner asked me, "Have you already eaten a lot of sanma?" I replied that I had only had it once this year. I answered that I had only had it once this year. Of course I did 😋.
It's Tasake's Yamahai Tokusyu.
It's stored in the fridge, manufactured in November 2024, but Tasake is once-fired so it's a hiyaoroshi type of thing 😅.
The first aroma is mellow and sweet like honey apple.
In the mouth, it has a mild juicy sweetness with a slight acidity.
It finishes with a slight astringency.
This year's tasake is always good, so there was no need to let it sit, but it was quite tasty with a fuller flavor 🍶✨️

Slight apple-like aroma
The same fruity aroma, mild rice flavor, and moderate sweetness spread quickly, with a crisp acidity and a slight bitterness, and it finishes quickly while retaining the lingering rice flavor.
I bought two bottles and left them in the refrigerator for two years without intending to drink them someday, but I got the impression that it was mellow or classic.
It went well with dashimaki tamago with mentaiko (a copy of a recipe from Friday's Zanzaku), grilled kipper, and chicken liver and pork cutlet in wine.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo 😃
I've had a can of Tasake before and it's fruity and delicious ✨.
I'm not familiar with herring, so I'd like to try it with other dishes 😄.
September 2025, the last drink of the month is Tasake's Yamahai Junmai Ginjo.
The dark green label with the word Tasake on it is my favorite shade, so I bought it immediately!
It was a bottle with a good balance of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and a lingering aftertaste that I could take my time enjoying!
I have to cut back on sake for a while because I have a physical exam coming up in mid-October, and it's already too late for that half a month ago..,
Good evening, Kumakichi!
Tasake's Yamahai Jungin is well-balanced and delicious 😋.
Good luck with your physical exam next month🍀.
It's a painful event that involves a short period of sobriety every year, but it's inevitable 😅.
Good evening, ma-ki-san! I love Tasake's Yamahai because it is delicious. I usually drink too much, so I have to take this opportunity to review my lifestyle.
I want to be careful to drink good sake for a long time.
Tasake no Benkei.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of apple.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight sweetness with a light aftertaste.
A little light this year 🤔.
It was delicious. ✨️
