A sake that is easy to drink. It has a refreshing taste of rice, and is suitable for a mealtime drink.

At the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. It is made from Yumesasara. The sake is fresh like a fresh sake. It is delicious with a fruity sweetness that is not too sweet.
Japanese>English
さなD
Buy at Asahikawa Marushin Shoten The rice used is Yumesasara from Tochigi prefecture. It is a low alcohol type, but it has a moderate sweetness, and as expected from an unpasteurized sake, it has a crisp taste. The acidity is also a bit like white wine, so it can be used with western food. It is an all-round food sake. It is the first time to drink Sawahime, so it is difficult to evaluate only this one, but it is an interesting brewery!

Tochigi Prefectural Association Summer Banquet 🍉 After Party If we're going to go to all this trouble, let's finish with Tochigi sake... It has a calm fruity taste, a soft grain aroma, and a good umami flavor, and it has a local sake feel. It was time to close the party after a fun time 🤗see you!

Jay & Nobby, here too 🤭. They seem to be a very particular sake place, and the limited quantity and rare sake by Ono Toji of Nozomu/Tsanbana had a great price 🙄💸💸As always, Kurata-san (master)'s service is mind-boggling 🥹.

National Sake Fair 2025(**) I was impressed by the endangered sake and thought I would like to buy various types of sake that I don't usually buy, but I immediately drank the sake that I thought was suitable for me! Oh no... But the subtitle is impressive, so please forgive me. The ingredients are all Tochigi, so it's a sake full of Tochigi love! Slightly dry, with just the right amount of umami! The aroma is refreshing, and it's a bit like an expensive food sake!

This restaurant does not have an all-you-can-drink premium sake policy, so I ordered just one! Let's try just one more! A green label that I've probably never had before! I felt a connection with the name of the sake, so I asked for it! Good aroma, but a little peculiar taste on the palate 🤏! I sipped it and finished it while eating shiso cold noodles! Almost an hour! Lately, this is just the right amount of time for me! I'm getting tired, so let's go to bed early this day. The day after tomorrow, I will be in Kyoto for the first time in a while! I have a lot of evening parties waiting for me. extensive knowledge Shimono Toji, Hiroshi Inoue, brews this local sake with young local brewers under the ultimate concept of "True Jizake Manifesto", using water, rice, and yeast all produced in Tochigi Prefecture. Rice used: 100% Hitogokochi, Tochigi Prefecture's best rice for sake brewing Rice polishing ratio: 50 Yeast used: Tochigi yeast T-F/T-S blend Alcohol content: 15%.

In a good way. It's not pretty. The bright peach color on the clear bottle It's a so-called reflection, but, I guess it's the confidence to compete with a simple package I guess it's their confidence to compete with simple packaging. It's not just sweet and pretty 😆. It's not just sweet and pretty 😆 It's also a very good drink.

A gift. Nigori (nigori) sake brewed with red yeast by Inoue Seikichi Shoten. The rice used is Yume Sarara. Rice polishing ratio is 65%. The alcohol content is low at 8.5 degrees. When poured into the sake cup, it has a thick, thick texture. When you take a sip, it has a gentle taste and is sweet and sour, just like a dessert wine. The strong sweetness that spreads in the mouth remains on the tongue, while a slight bitterness can be felt later on. I can only describe it as sweet🍶. It is best to drink it well chilled.

٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 GW's trip to Tochigi We had a bottle of Sawa Hime purchased at Mekada Sake Brewery in Utsunomiya. The aroma is a little bit grain-like 😀They have a good umami taste and it goes down your throat nicely 😊The more you drink, the better the taste gets 😚👍✨A good sake that can be kept at room temperature is very useful 🥳.
