Kaze no Mori's Aburicho Sake Brewery's first sake to be entered in the National New Sake Competition in 24 years.
The aroma is banana-like and fruity, as is typical of Kaze no Mori, with a hint of minerality from the super-hard water.
The main taste is a clear banana-like flavor, and the taste is quite voluminous but has a good sharpness.
The banana taste is a little sweet, but it is not sweet at all. On the contrary, the mineral bitterness comes out at the end and gives it a refreshing aftertaste.
Regardless of one's taste, the overall balance or sense of perfection of this sake is amazing!
It's not the type of sake that's suited for competitions, but it's a delicious sake with a Kaze no Mori character.

This is for the national sake competition this year.
It's so nice and less acidic. This brand uses No.7 yeast, so it can remind you of Masumi, ็ๆพ.
This is different from other Takacho and Kazenomori series. I can feel the brewery's desire for winning this competition from this sake.

Kudokibe Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40 Kaki and 56 Limited Edition
#Yamagata #Kamenoi Shuzo
It seems to be limited to 2 stores in Japan...
They say it's a sake with sweetness and umami of rice...
Not at all, all I can remember is "Yummy! I can only remember "It's delicious!
2024 Sake for the appropriate date record, 102nd drink outside (misc. count)

I recognize it as the orikara portion of sake for the sake competition. The specs are quite impressive: Banshu Yamadanishiki is used, Fukuro-hari is used, and the rice is cut down to 35% for daiginjo. It seems to be a very limited edition.
It is quite rich because it is an orikarami. It was a bit hard when just opened, but after a few days, its mild, fruity sweetness became more pronounced. Is it the sweetness of melon or banana without any tune? The weak acidity seems to be a sign of a good taste.
Somehow, this sake makes me want to pair it with mellow and rich foods such as cream cheese. It is incredibly good.

My favorite aroma.
The sweetness is not that strong but it tastes amazing ๐.
The aftertaste when you just open it is so pungent that it makes you think there are spices in it. I was surprised when I just opened it, the aftertaste was so pungent that I thought there were spices in it.
But the sourness and bitterness don't bother me in the aftertaste, it's very refreshing.
It's good to drink it with a glass of wine. โ

We recently purchased at the Sandozawa Sake Brewery

The aroma is fruity.

The flavor and bitterness come at the same time, and while you expect it to be robust, the flavor quickly recedes, leaving a crisp, bitter aftertaste, so it will be even more delicious when paired with food than when drunk alone.
It will go well with cheese, simmered dishes, and any other dishes with a strong flavor.
The ostentatious subtitle "glutinous rice hot brewed in a four-step brewing process" might scare some people away, but it can be enjoyed without any particular discomfort.

The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prixใ
The time was already over and we went to the booth of Seimasa Sake Masamune in preparation for the clean-up.
You didn't come to the "Traveling SAKE" special on Nagano sake at the Hankyu Department Store last time, did you? I asked him a question, and he replied, "No, I didn't." I was going to have a drink with him.
Seimasa Masamune is named after "Seishu," which means "vigorous sake.
Sei Masamune omatsuri carp Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Orikarami
It was fruity and had a nice citrusy acidity.
This brewery also seems to be participating in 59 sake breweries, and bouken told the brewery staff that he is a classmate of his and supports the event.
Department store tasting events are difficult to staff, the main focus is on IWC champion sakรฉ, and there seems to be some political talk with Nagano Prefecture. It was good to hear other behind-the-scenes stories such as the Nagano Sake Brewers Association's tasting events.
So excuse the massive event posting ๐ I still love events where you can taste a variety of sake ๐.

It is a slightly sparkling "orikarami" with the specifications of Chiebijin Junmai-shu, which won the "President's Award" at the "KURA MASTER" held in Paris, France. The reason for the rabbit is that it is a sake made by a rabbit lover. The label is also stylish.
It is a slightly tangy, cloudy, thick sake. It is mildly sweet with a hint of apricot. It is fruity, but the acidity is not that strong and quite delicious.
Camembert goes quite well with it. I think it goes well with meat as well. This is quite tasty.

14th Ryu no Rakugo Junmai Ginjo
Chinese>English
Jyushiyo Ginjo-shu
It is very fresh and aromatic, probably the result of the long low-temperature fermentation process.
I would recommend this sake to everyone if it were more readily available.
It tastes even better when drunk with old Baccarat.
Serve with bonito tataki.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic rice), rice malt (domestic rice), brewing alcohol
Ingredient rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.

This Daiginjo-Moroshiroshu has a well-balanced, delicate flavor that combines a gorgeous ginjo aroma and fresh fruitiness. The clear aroma of white peaches and melon waft elegantly through the air, while the fresh fruitiness and refreshing acidity outline the sweetness and finish with a clear crispness.

Tenma Daijukai (ยกยฐTenma Sake Associationยกยฑ)
This sake is named after Governor Yoshimura
And an illustration of a mysterious person on the label
Where is Governor Yoshimura? Where?
It's a very typical mature, slightly dry junmai sake, and it's good warmed up.
It's the type of sake I'd like to drink on a regular basis, but it's more of a souvenir.
I misunderstood.
I'd like to buy it if it were available!

Tenma Taishukai 2024 โฃ
The day before, I tasted Sakakamatsu from this brewery at a liquor store in Ikuno Ward. He asked me if I was going to the Tenma Sake Festival.
I've been to this brewery and bought sake before.
I think it was a brewery in Osaka, but closer to Wakayama and near a fishing port.
I drank
Junmai Ginjo Natsusei
Nemuchi-san confirmed with the brewery that it was the same Sakakamatsu Natsusei that I drank the day before.
Hmmm? When I drank it the day before, I had the impression that it was a summer sake with good flavor and drinkability, but something is different...
Is it the temperature range? It seems too thin or too light ๐ค.
Summer Ginjo
This is also a summer sake.
Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but this one is spicier.
Japanese>English
Today is my first visit to a liquor store.
Sakurada Sake Shop in Ikuno Ward.
They recently started an installation site, and I had a vague idea of the brands they carry, so I decided to go there.
It's a little far from the station, but I guess Kintetsu Imazato Station or Sennichimae Shoji Station are the closest ones.
The brands they carry are
Kubota, Horaisen, Kirinzan, Sagata, Naniwa Masamune (Sakamatsu), Tamagawa, Katano Sakura, Otters, various sake from Meimon Shukai, etc.
There is also a PB sake called Naniwa Sakura, brewed by Yamano Shuzo of Katano Sakura.
They are open on Sundays.
When I asked if they had any 4-gou of Sakamatsu sake, they said they only have 1-masu bottles. I asked them if they had any 4-gou of Sakamatsu, but they said they only had one bottle....
Then they asked me if I would like to try a sample. I decided to try it.
The rice was smooth. It is rare for a brewery in the Kansai region to use "masugura" rice. I think there was also a sake made with Asahi no Yume.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a slightly sweet, yet somewhat robust flavor. The quality of the sake seems heavy for a summer sake.
I've bought Naniwa Masamune's Natsusei at a brewery in the past, but I wonder if the contents are the same ๐ค.
The owner was very nice and I will visit again ๐.
The 3rd and 4th pictures are retro vending machines I found on the way ๐ณ.
The sample I saw was released in 1998, so I wonder if it was working until the middle of the Heisei era?

Good aftertaste and moderate sweetness๐.
It is sold only at the brewery.
It is worth drinking at least once.
Japanese>English
Thanks again for your hard work today ๐ต.
I had this one a while ago: โ๏ธ
Parisian label Hourai ๐คฃ.
I believe it was limited to 4321 bottles! LOL!
I was told that you can enjoy it in various ways like with cola, but first of all, of course, you can enjoy it as it is ๐ถ.
The alcohol content is 19%, so it's rather strong!
Slightly sweet ๐ค.
It certainly looks like it can be mixed with various other things ๐ฐ
I had it all as it was ๐ lol

It is a well-balanced sake with a sharp taste and moderate sweetness. It also has a hint of thickening. Goes well with sushi. โ
