A drink at the local products corner of the Mizushima Port Seminar held in Tokyo 🍻 A substitute for which I would like to have a second helping. It doesn't seem to be available at izakaya (Japanese style pubs), so should I buy some?
If you don't know the brand, it's hard to make a choice without advice 😂.
I'm sure you'll like this one: ⤴️ and
My usual uncle's recommendation from my usual store 😆.
I love it 😆😍😍😍.
Dark grapes 🍇 or Kamomo 🍑 or 😍😍.
Gassy and slightly chili.
I love it so much ⤴️
fruity but not too sweet and spicy with a clean aftertaste
The astringent label is not what I expected from the sake flavor... 😆 Don't be fooled.
Don't be fooled lol
Rice: 100% Asahi from Akakabe Akasaka in Bizen

Asahi rice is also used to make sushi.
It is said to have been used for sushi.
It is low in protein and fat and tends to produce a light, clean sake.
It is grown mainly in the southern part of Okayama Prefecture and is a representative of Okayama Prefecture.
The yeast used, Association No. 14, has a muscat-like aroma and low acidity.
Association No. 7 has an elegant and gorgeous aroma.
Hmmmmm 🤔I'm learning a lot!
Good morning, Rika 😃.
I'm sure you'll get a recommendation from a liquor store that knows what you like: ☺️
I had a Jun Daigin of Juhachimori brewed with Asahi rice using 1801 yeast and it was delicious with a flashy aroma, so if you have a chance, please try that too!
Aladdin-san ⤴️ This liquor store carries a scary amount of brands, so it's fun to come across a brand that's new to me through recommendations 😆 I'd love to try the sake brewed with Asahi rice with 1801 yeast! 😍I wonder what happens with different yeasts😍.
Pineapple Cocktail🍸.
Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of sweetness. The neutral palate is filled with sweetness and pineapple-like aroma. The second half is tangy and pungent, then slowly finishes with a delicious flavor.
Aromatic and full of pineapple. It would be a perfect summer drink at a bar with a view of the ocean.
Tagaji is my first Okayama sake in a long time. It was a gift from a retiree who knew I liked this brand.

Good evening, Mr. Gallus.
What a wonderful relationship to have a retirement gift of your favorite brand of alcohol, Mr. Gallus ✨.
Here is a very chic bottle with a very glamorous looking review that looks delicious😊.
Hi Gallus 😃
Thanks for your Tohoku - Hokkaido trip 😌I will use it as a reference for my post-retirement couple drinking train trip 🚞🤗It's been a while since I had a drink in Okayama 😚 It's going to be a relief to sink in!
Jay & Nobby, winter is good, but I also wanted to see the paddy fields when the rice is beautiful. This time I think I understand more about the individuality of Okayama sake 😀.
Junmai Omachi Unfiltered Nama Sake, Limited Nao Kumi
First impression, ohhh, it's yogurt. If I exaggerate it, it smells like a twig? Some people may not like it?
I let it sit for a while and drank it.
The yogurt feeling has changed to a delicious taste.
But, hmmm....
I love it 60 points.

At first, you will feel a sharp taste in your mouth.
After that comes the sweetness and umami.
A little sourness
The taste is very good.
