I tasted it during the New Year holidays. I thought it was arabashiri, but the staff mistakenly put shiboritate in it 🤣. It was fresh and easy to drink even though it had been fired once.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Aged Sake✨Snow❄️☃️ Aged sake, light yellow in color. Cold sake, matured, Daruma Masamune-like. Not heavy, warmed to 60 degrees. Soft around the edges. Mellow. ☺️ It's still a sake for warming up. I served it with scallop sashimi sent from my relatives in Hokkaido 😋The scallops were huge and delicious💕. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki.

Opened September 10, 2025 Purchased at Asahiya, a sake brewery. Summery and quite bitter! Kire! Alcoholic stimulation⚡️ This is good to drink in hot summer with a crisp taste☀️ It has a strong flavor. Great to drink 🍺. Japanese sake is really good 🍶.

The rice flavor lingers in the mouth, and the lingering aftertaste is even refreshing. It was a perfect match with rich fatty dishes, and the dining table seemed to warm up quietly while drinking this sake. Omachi Yamazaru" is a sake with such a dignified charm that one can enjoy its serenity and robust flavor at the same time. The aftertaste of Banana🍌.

Second from left At "Kaitenzushi Takakura" in front of Shin-Yamaguchi Station. It has a firm, thick flavor and complexity like Yamahai. I would like to enjoy it lukewarm.

It was a strong and assertive sake with a rather strong bitter and sour taste, and it was not defeated when paired with Korean chanja.

The last bottle I bought at the Hankyu Sake Brewer's Festival. It is a rich summer sake! I guess you could say 👍 I decided to buy it the moment I tasted it😊.

Report 8📝 of the September 2024 Sakai Offsite Meeting Here is another one that Mr. and Mrs. Yasube brought back from Yamaguchi. I didn't know Yamaguchi had such a cunty sake rice 🫰. It has a sweetness like wasanbon and flows smoothly. I was able to recognize once again that Yamaguchi sake is less peculiar and all of them are well balanced 💡. Thank you for the precious local sake ✨.
