Purchased my first sake at my first visit to a liquor store.
Kuwano Shoten in Higashisumiyoshi Ward.
I guess Komakawanakano station or Hari-nakano station is the nearest station.
The area is a little far from the station, with old stores and the ruins of stores lining the narrow alleys.
The area where the Tanimachi Line runs through was the site of the Nankai Plain Line, so I wonder if it was like a shopping area that developed from there.
It looks like there used to be a station called Nakano.
I don't know if the brands handled by the distributors or the wholesalers are spot deliveries, but Sanzenmori, Kaiun, Kurumasaka, Hatsuson, Yamahoshi, etc.
I don't know if it was a distributor or a spot shipment from a wholesaler, but they carried brands like Sanzenmori, Kaiun, Kurumazaka, Hatsuson, Yamaboshi, etc. I don't know if they put them on their social networking sites, so I won't mention them here.
It has a gorgeous aroma but also a little bit of a unique flavor that you don't get much else. It has a gorgeous aroma, but it also has a unique flavor that is not found anywhere else. It seems to be easy to match with meals.

Third cup, Nichiei, a brand I've never heard of before.
It has a yellowish color, sourness and peculiar taste, similar to Tamagawa 🤔.
It might be good if it is heated up,
All three were delicious. I've been drunk since the beginning of the trip lol.
Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi
The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅.
Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it.
It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

It has a very rich flavor, but it is not too heavy and can be drunk easily.

Not too sweet for a nigori.
It's very thick and mellow.
I don't think it's one of my favorites.
Easy to drink clearly. At the high Takashi's birthday Nara.

This sake has a barrel aroma and is a bit sweet on the palate, but it is a moderately tasty sake.

Today I visited Todaiji Temple, Kofukuji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Nara National Museum!
I am very happy to have visited all four major expositions. I was also fascinated by the Daibutsu (Great Buddha) and Ashura statues, which I had not seen for a long time!
I'm going to have a drink on the sightseeing train with the afterglow of this experience 🍶.
When the bottle is opened, it has a lush cedar aroma.
The mouthfeel is smooth and the cedar aroma spreads immediately after opening the bottle!
It is aromatic, crisp, light and dry. Personally, I think it's a good match for my taste buds.
The aroma is so focused on the flavor that it is easy to drink without feeling much of the umami flavor. However, the presence of cedar aroma from the mouth to the nose is unbearable ✨.
I enjoyed it with pork buns from Hyakuraku. Here's to Nara 🦌.
100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast.
It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky.
Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour!
The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it.
I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it.
How does it taste?
It does not have the harshness of the original sake.
It has a chocolate-like aroma.
It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant.
It is simple, but quite flamboyant.
How about if you heat it up?
It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink!
The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly.
It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness.
I think it is especially good when heated.
I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)!
It took me two years to complete this feat.
It was a long but enjoyable journey.
I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

a gift
It was the first time I had ever had a fresh one in Honjozo.
The mouthfeel is like mint?
I've never had it before, but it's interesting.
I think it leaves a little bit of a cloying taste at the end.
The mouthfeel is refreshing. As is typical of matured sake, the acidity comes, but the aftertaste disappears as easily as water. It is a sake that fits well with the body and does not give off a bad taste. Delicious.

Slightly yellow, strange aroma that I've never had before, goes well with sashimi.
