I go to the local sake shop to buy new Sogen sake, which I look forward to every year.
The sake I brought back was last year's new sake. It seems that they bought the stock from the warehouse, so they will have to put off this year's new sake until the store's stock is depleted.
On the way home, I buy some fried hormone at a butcher shop.
Speaking of freshly pressed sake, the sake from Shiboritate, Shimehari Tsuru and Urakasumi are excellent, but I definitely prefer Sogen Oshi. It is fresh and tangy, with a heavy umami afterwards.
It is also good when heated.
Slightly acidic aroma, but firm in flavor, slightly sweet and full-bodied. The alcohol content is high.
I don't usually drink alsobe, but this is certainly good !!!!
And at a great price. Thank you.
Kaorin and I had booked a ticket for the Okayama Sake event on the Osaka Monorail the week before last, but we couldn't make it 😅.
We wanted to give the tickets to our friends at Sake-no-Wa, but they all seemed to be busy 😓.
I was going to take only the lunch box for the event, but the monorail staff offered me a leftover from the last Hokuriku Sake Monorail along with the lunch box 😇.
I couldn't drink Okayama sake, but I could drink Ishikawa sake 😀.
I had heard a lot about Sogen, but I had an image of it being a dry sake, so I couldn't get my hands on it.
You can't make up your own image of sake 😀.
Hello, Yasube-san!
Sorry to hear about the Okayama sake event💦.
I've been checking out the monorail event since I learned about it from Yasubeyesan's post, and I'd love to go to a product exhibition someday 😋.
Sogen is delicious too 🤗
Hi Yasbaye 😃
Sorry to hear about the monorail Okayama sake event 😢 I learned about it from Yasbaye's post and I'm too envious to drink sake on the monorail ❣️. I wonder if Tokyo monorail will do it too 🥹.
Hi, ma-ki- 😀
It's a pity that I couldn't drink Okayama sake, but thanks to the nice response from the monorail staff, I was able to learn about the deliciousness of Sogen😇.
I will attend the Saga Sake event on the 13th of December 😀.
Hi Hiro 😀
I've attended many times already and it's always fun to have a good drink while enjoying the view from the monorail😇.
The other day, the person who was at the same table told me that he has attended many times from the Kanto area😇.
Wow - this is a bite. Tasty, cheap, high alcohol content!
It has a sweet aroma and tastes or smells like Finlandia in the mouth. And it tastes like the rice has been sweetened by koji. The addition of alcohol gives it a nice sharpness, and it is very drinkable. I would like to buy it again if possible.
It does not show a high level of sake precision, so be careful when handling it.
Good morning, Shirowama 😃I've had a 2 year old room temperature aged one before that was really good, but your review made me want to try the unaged one 😋 even though it has a higher alcohol content, it makes me want to drink more of it 😆.
Hello, Nemuchi-san!
I have the impression that most of Ishikawa's sake is like undiluted 5x concentrated sake, but it is good. I think they should be appreciated more.
Mildly delicious and bitter
First time at the brewery in a long time, and first time since the great Noto earthquake.
I am glad to be able to drink again!
Ah, it has a dry feel.
Sake made from Hachitan-Nishiki from Hiroshima, brewed in Noto.
Polishing ratio 55%.
17% alcohol by volume
