Hakkei Kubiki

Kubiki Shuzo Niigata

See-through

At a sake bar. This is my first brand. Banana-like aroma. Light but slightly heavy aftertaste.

Japanese>English

Yesterday's report My fourth drink. To be honest, my memory is a bit fuzzy as I was having a lively conversation with the 73 year old man next to me. However, my first impression was that it was delicious. It was a collaboration of Naoetsu fish dishes and local sake. I had a chance to mingle with the young warriors at the karaoke snack bar, and they applauded my poor enka (traditional Japanese ballad). If you go to Sado, you must go to the port of Naoetsu. Let's come back. I promised the calm mama. Niigata Prefecture is long from north to south, so I'm looking forward to today as well, as I'm sure the sake tastes are diverse.

The Yae Kubiki series is only available at seven liquor stores in Niigata Prefecture. Pale yellow color with a mild aroma. It has a pungent taste in the mouth and a refreshing aftertaste. It has a sweet taste, but it is refreshing. Went well with grilled fish. 720ml ¥1.800-

琵琶のささ浪

Asahara Shuzo Saitama

Fizzy Astringent Fresh Milky Rugged

I will drink it for the first time, Biwa no Sasanami. It is a sake brewery in the town of Moroyama, Saitama Prefecture. The name is said to come from the founder's birthplace near Lake Biwa. Just like the classic label, the taste is also very classic. It has a rich sweetness and umami flavor with a clean, dry finish. It is my favorite type. And the price is reasonable, so I am sure I will repeat my purchase.

KOEDO SAKE COLLECTION 2024 The first event organized by Matsuzaki Sake Shop in a long time! 48 breweries from all over Japan gathered for the first and second parts of the event, which was a great success. Biwa no Sasanami Suisei Rice polishing ratio 91%. I thought maybe if it was heated up I thought it might be more rounded if it was heated up hot.

十字旭日

Asahi Shuzo Shimane

Caramelly

Purchased at Yasudaya in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The aroma was melon-like, and in the mouth it was very sweet and rich, but with a clean aftertaste. As stated in the introduction to this sake by the brewer, you will never get tired of drinking it.

Japanese>English

Hot sake is recommended! The manager told me to.... It's good! I'll have another one! The label reads, Wannyan Junmai Sake with donation and it says Junmai sake! I can't get enough of it! With grilled fish (^-^)

Japanese>English

Hot sake with a peculiar taste It's quite good! It's delicious!

Japanese>English

Early last month, I went to the Ume Festival for a tipsy night. I was given a local sake tasting set and was surprised to find such a delicious apple juice (!!!)! I was surprised to find such a delicious apple juice (!!) in the sake tasting set! I've been thinking about it! I finally found it for sale 🍶. It was just a little astringent when I opened it. Bitterness? A bit bitter? I laughed at it because it was like apple juice. I laughed because it was like apple juice. After a couple of days, I drank it again and found that it had become somewhat milder and was the very apple juice I fell in love with at first sip🍎. It's fruity (because it's apple juice), sweet, about 13 degrees, and I can enjoy it on its own without any snacks. In a word, I love it! And the first liquor store I went to. The owner and his wife (or is it a couple?) had a great atmosphere. They had a great atmosphere and a variety of drinks, so we had a lot of fun 😊. I was so happy to see them and they had a variety of drinks. I was so happy that they knew I was a drinker and asked me so many questions. I was happy that they knew I was a drinker and asked me a lot of questions. It seemed like I could try some drinks, so I'm aiming to become a regular customer. 500ml for less than 1300yen

This is a gift from my wife's mother. This is my first time drinking this 🤗 I don't see many check-ins and you don't see many of them 🙄. Yopa Memo No messy taste I haven't had something this free of clutter recently, so it's pretty fresh! Clear, clean is the best way to describe it. Simply put, it's like water😌. I had an image of it being more robust and heavy, but it was surprisingly light 😃. I think it's perfect with strong flavored, rich Nagoya meshi: 🙆‍♀️ I'm drinking this one in a 5 shaku glass, which is rare 😎. It was delicious 😋😋😋😋.

Sen no Rikyu

Rikyu Kura Osaka

Fizzy Young Astringent Sweetness Juicy Neat Firm Muscat

In the mouth, it is sweet, but miscellaneous flavors come quickly. Is it the flavor of rice? It tasted like the less expensive sake I used to drink. It was not suitable for me.

Japanese>English

Yamada Nishiki. I drank it thinking it was Sen no Rikyu, but was surprised at how refreshing it was. It has umami, sweetness, and a light aftertaste.

While the aroma is gentle, characteristic of ginjo-shu, the taste is acidic and has a clean, dry throat 🍶. I would like to drink more of this sake.

Koshino Hakugan is a 50% polished ginjo. This is a light, easy-drinking ginjo-shu that is typical of Niigata sake. Serve with tempura of wild vegetables.

nisibori

Tochigi

Glue-like

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421

I was really curious about this one that some people mentioned in the March Kansai Off-line Meeting report (‼️). I was looking for a liquor store that sold this sake, and I found one in the city of Utsunomiya 👍Kotori-San happened to stop by that liquor store on the Tochigi Citizen's Line and I asked him about Nishibori, and he said they sell it, so I asked Nobby to rush over to the store 😊. So I asked Nobby to come over 😊. I checked out the sakewa and found out what everyone thought of it 🤔, and they all praised it highly, saying it was "mildly gorgeous and has a nice sweetness😊It left the strongest impression on them😊And everyone was talking about their love for Tochigi🥰, which made me happy again 🥹. I will make love to you with all my heart Yes, it's a good thing I'm not a fan of Tochigi! The sweet aroma heightens my anticipation! I'm so happy to hear that 🜂! This is delicious 😚 This sweetness is not too much and Nobby also enjoyed drinking it! I thought that a glass of this outside would certainly have a strong impact on people in the Kansai region 😊. It's too thick at 17 degrees to drink all at once😅I drank half of it and switched to the next one! I had the rest on Sunday and it was as good as ever👍 I love Tochigi 🥰, nurtured in Kansai.

Umeichirin

Umeichirin Shuzo Chiba

Dry Subtle Crisp Full-bodied Invigorating Astringent Nutty

Since the Tengu Mai didn't fill my glass, I had a little bit of Ume Ichirin Kuradashi dry sake as a service. It is refreshingly dry, but has a hint of sweetness along with a thickening taste. It's interesting because it has a mouthfeel that is not typical of sake with alcohol.
