On my way back home, I went to the first sale in Nagasaki.
I found this Nagasaki doburoku at a souvenir shop!
As a nigori sake lover, I had to buy it!
I have to try it!
When I poured it into a glass, it was very fizzy and gurgling! And it's thick.
It's exactly like...eating sake!
Even though it has 11% alcohol, the alcohol taste is very strong 🤔.
Well... it was a very strong sake 😂.
When I came to Kyushu at the end of the year and visited Unzen Fugendake,
I found this sake at a liquor store I wandered by.
This girl was in the fridge.
I heard him asking me to buy it, so I bought it without tasting it.
I bought it without tasting it.
It was a liqueur, made from sake and sugar...
What kind of sake is this?
It tastes like sake lees dissolved in sake?
It was sweet and refreshing despite its 15% alcohol content.
It was easy to drink.
Local production for local consumption is our motto, so it will be gone today 🫣.
Convenience store at JR Isahaya station, 577 yen.
Very fragrant and fruity.
When you put it in your mouth, it spreads round and round,
It seems to go down softly on the tongue.
It has a slight sharpness.

Sake purchased at Amu Plaza in Nagasaki
I was attracted by the limited sake shop... limited is not a fair word 😆.
The taste is classic but rich 🥰.
The taste is classic but rich 🥰 The sourness, sweetness, umami, and spiciness rush into your mouth 😆.
When I warmed it up, the sweetness settled down and I felt the spiciness and bitterness.
I prefer it cold to warm 🥰.
When warmed up, it changed into a refreshing and easy to drink sake 😳.
It is clear and colorless, with aromas of cypress, jyoshinko, honeysuckle, and pear. The attack is rather weak, with mild acidity and mild sweetness, and a rather long finish.
The label is a cat with a crooked tail that hooks you up with happiness. The story is wonderful. The taste is very juicy. There is no alcohol at all, and the ester is clean and pleasant on the nose.
I went to the Kinegawa brewery opening!
I tasted a lot of sake, but the new sake Shiboritate Nama-nihonshu was the best! I bought it!
It had a smooth, refreshing and fruity taste with no astringent aftertaste! It was easy to drink even without any snacks!
I was also impressed by the Junmai Sake Assemblage and Daiginjo Shizuku Shibori!
I guess it tastes even better when you hear about it first hand at a brewery open house 😆.
At Sushi Wakatakemaru, located in Amu Plaza Nagasaki near JR Nagasaki Station. The rice tasted refreshing and went well with the delicious grilled mackerel and Nagasaki's fresh fish sushi.
