#Alcohol content 15% #Polishing ratio 55% #Shiboritate #Sake brewed with Kame-no-o, a fantastic sake rice, as the hanging rice and Yamada-nishiki as the koji rice.　This is new sake, fresh! But it is thick and slightly rich. Slightly sweet like a ginjo-shu.

Wakaebisu Shuzo Mie

Invigorating Fruity Crisp Caramelized Refreshing Fresh Sweetness Umami

さわやか

I drank too much during the day (repentance). But that's OK! It's my day off! (Grand Prize for Remorse) Posting to commemorate the first cup of dry close. I felt a little fruitiness, but it was easy to drink (vague memory). I think I liked the Seikagami the best out of the many I drank, which I bought more at the end 🤔. By the way 🍶. The 4 people I met at the counter. I really appreciate you guys for being so fun and not getting bored 🙏. And a big thank you to the waitstaff who warmly and sometimes firmly(?) I'm also very grateful to the waitresses who looked after us 🙏.

Sake party at a nearby bar! We had about 24 bottles to drink as much as we could. I took note of all the varieties ✎. Gizaemon Gorgeous, fruity, not too sweet, not too spicy, somewhere in between? The aftertaste is a little bitter.

Saika

九重雑賀K Wakayama

Dry Crisp Sharp Refreshing Umami Acidity Melon-flavored Fizzy

Sukkiri. The shelf was on the dry side, but too hot and delicious. Alcohol 15 degrees Rice polishing ratio Kakemai 60 min.

Japanese>English

I think it was about 20 years ago - I remember Kazuhiko Ota drinking at Zoka on his Izakaya travelogue (was it Ajihyakusen in Sapporo?). I remember that Kazuhiko Ota was drinking Zoka in his Izakaya Kiko (or was it Ajihyakusen in Sapporo?) and I wanted to drink it someday. I have always wanted to drink this sake someday. Fruity - nice aroma! The aroma is loud but the taste is very classical and straightforward sake. The impression is that the umami of the rice is stronger than the fruitiness. The mouthfeel is rich, with a distinct sweetness and bitterness. The bitterness remains slightly after drinking, but it is well balanced. The sharpness of the sake is very good, and it can be drunk easily. It is a very good sake.

Dry but strong? Tastes like sake.

Mira Shuzo Aomori

Smooth Subtle Effortless Forceful Umami Refreshing Silky Apple

At Aomoriya, Ikebukuro 13 degrees Nomiyasui, but you can also enjoy its robust flavor as you drink more of it. Nebuta at the entrance

Japanese>English

@中目黒

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Apple The color is almost transparent, and the head aroma is soft and raw. On the attack, the sweetness and umami of the rice smoothly passes through the nose, followed by an apple-like lingering aroma. The bitterness that lingers at the end is not heavy at all, but it is still very tight. Although the alcohol content is 13%, you can enjoy the sweetness and umami of the rice and drink it easily without getting tired of drinking it 😆. On the second day, there is no particular change in texture as the sake is still stable as a fire-brewed sake. It is still an excellent food sake and goes well with teriyaki yellowtail and canned mackerel! Delicious!" but more like "Oh, it's so good!"...lol

Satonohomare

Sudo Honke Ibaraki

Honey Caramelly Chocolate Floral CherryBlossom Penetrating Refreshing Herbal

This sake was made by the Sudo Honke, said to be the oldest sake brewery in Japan. It was a junmai daiginjo with a subtle ginjo aroma and a sharp taste at the end.

日本酒会

Hankyu Brewery Festival (6) This was the first appearance of Sudoh Honke. He said he hoped this would be a good opportunity to have Hankyu handle their products. He said that although it is not familiar in the Kansai region, Takimoto and Shimada Sake Shop in Osaka carry it. He said that since the Corona disaster, they have not been sold in Kansai for the most part. The president's English pronunciation was very good, as he is mainly an exporter 🤣 He even dared to say "empty" again in English. The oldest existing brewery. The first brewery to produce sake. The first brewery to produce sparkling sake. The image of the first brewery to produce sparkling sake. We tasted the following Kasumiyama Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Namaizu Kasumiyama Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Namaizu Yukinomai Sparkling Unfiltered Nama-zake Gonohonomoto Junmai Daiginjo Namaisho Namaisho Gonohomyo Junmai Daiginjo Kurokin Unfiltered Nama-zake Gonohonomoto Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-zake Gonohonomoto Junmai Daiginjyo Hyokyuu-aged Autumn Yamatohana Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-zake The Kurogane tasted like chocolate and had a sense of maturity, but the brewer said it had not been aged. The taste of the kamishimo is different from that of other kamishimo, but this seems to be the original kamishimo. Sparkling tastes like pear. Not enough words 🤣.

Dry Stiff Weighty Refreshing

It's for the record of my drinking 🍶📸😋.

Tasty but not sweet. Good sharpness. Is this a model of junmai sake? It will become more mature as time goes by. Warmed up, it has a great flavor! It tastes like honey.

半田郷

Nakano Shuzo Aichi

A series of pioneering local dry junmai sake 💪. First bottle 🍶. The one from my hometown. High aroma, dry with a lot of acidity. The blue label junmai ginjo was fruity, but this one is something else. But this one is just as good. 300ml, about 550 yen (?) without tax
