#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

We had a good amount of sake from New Year's. I was happy to be able to drink this sake, which is rarely seen in the Kanto area. It is a very refreshing sake with a very smooth aftertaste! It went well with Osechi.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Laematsu store where I stopped by on my way home from Hatsumode (New Year's visit to a shrine). It was served with dinner on New Year's Day. It was spicy and very good to drink. Too bad I left it at my parents' house without finishing it 😢.

Japanese>English

Slightly aromatic. A model sake. It has a moderate zingy aroma and goes well with meals. Good as an aperitif.

The 11th bottle of 2025 home brew 🍶. I received a bottle of Shintaro from Kochi Prefecture! The label is austere 😏I got it from the hanpukai and it was a good encounter because this is a brand I don't often buy myself 🍶I would give it to someone if I had a "Shintaro" around me 🙆‍♂️ It tasted and crisp and delicious! Thank you for the food 🙏.

Japanese>English

Sake like this is all the rage these days. Sweet, refreshing and very fragrant. Quite delicious!

Japanese>English

The motif is based on Ryoma Sakamoto's partner, Shintaro Nakaoka🍶. The label is nice. I drank it by itself, but it was dry from Kochi, so it was easy to match with meals. I've never been to Kochi either, so now I want to go there!

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

Personal preference 3.7/5 Rice: 100% Misato Nishiki Rice polishing ratio 40 Alcohol content 14 Instead of a hard New Year's flu and telework, I'm here on a trip to Akita: ✈️ I'm playing on such a heavy snow day 😉. If you get excited when you see snow, you are still a child. ⛄️ So since I came all the way to Akita, I went on a Shinsei parade 🎶. I know I said I wouldn't ask for it last year, but when I saw they were selling it, I had a sudden urge to drink it... Sato Ubei is an Akita-only brew, so I've been curious about it for a while! The taste is the sweetest I've ever had! I read somewhere that it tastes like white peaches in syrup... and that's exactly what it is. I had it with seafood, the flounder was delicious 🎶! Thank you so much for the food 😋!

The rice used is Akita Sake Komachi It has a good sweetness and is crisp and clean. It is a good food sake. When I find a sake like this, I buy it immediately.

I was wondering what the same company that did Tenka and Shihu would do with the Meimon Shukai now that they've taken over the business? I was wondering what they were going to do with the prestigious sake associations, and then they released it 😊. Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Is it white malted rice? It's so acidic that I thought it was white malted rice. It also has a slightly dry atmosphere. It has a unique taste, but it is delicious. I wonder if the product for the Meimon Shukai that was sold before was Yuyamanishiki, but instead of using Yuyamanishiki, they used Gohyakumangoku to separate it from Honami.

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival 10] I'm on my 10th cup of sake 😁. I was looking for my favorite "Hakugakusen" and found that it was only available on the first day of the event, so I went here instead 🍶. Unnoi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo. Banana-like aroma, gentle sweetness on the palate, and a lingering mild umami aftertaste. I have a connection with "Kumonoi" since I brought it to the Kansai Sake-no-Iwa offline meeting I attended last summer, and it is still delicious when I drink it again.

Japanese>English

This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift last year. I've been accumulating a stock of sake, so I decided to drink it slowly. It's a rare opportunity to see a bottle of sake in a tobin enclosure! It makes my heart dance ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell a slight ginjo aroma. It is almost scentless. The mouthfeel is very clean, but the soft, milky sake quality and subtle sweetness of the rice gradually covers the tongue! The spiciness and the strength of 16% alcohol can be felt in the latter half of the bottle, but the overall flavor is moderate. I think I have not had such a clear sake since I drank the highest quality sake of "Akagisan" (12,000 yen for 720ml)! It is as pure as a gentle breeze. It quietly accompanies you from the beginning to the end. The taste is the very embodiment of "elegance. It is a good bottle to drink by itself or to enjoy as a food wine! Enjoy it carefully over the course of the day👍.

Japanese>English

Sake from a local sake store's hanpukai. The flavor of the rice flows through the clean taste without any clutter. After that, the taste is tightened and cut off. The taste of the sake is straightforward, without any clumsy attempts.

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

Japanese>English

This will probably be my first craft saké review. What do you think of the specs on this one, which seem to focus on acidity and are modern? It seems to feature the use of germinated brown rice. Also, the mail-order source liquor store labeled it as orikarami, but it is a clear sake, and I suspect it is a regular product. The aroma is melon-like and floral, like a rose, and there is a strong acidity when you drink it. It has a strong acidity. It gives the impression of being wild. As it is, it has a slight sweetness and bitterness like brown rice, and a matured flavor. Surprisingly, it goes well with light dishes and salads rather than strong dishes. On the fourth day, it is heated, but the sourness becomes stronger, and while it has the sweetness of brown rice, it becomes like an oddball sake. It is not bad, but it is best served cold. It is a modern sake, but it has a floral rather than fruity impression, and on the other hand, it has a strong rice flavor, perhaps due to the use of brown rice, making it a unique sake. Personally, I prefer the sharpness of the sake, but the number of distributors is increasing at a rapid pace, and I would like to try other specifications next time.

At a tasting at a local liquor store. It was quite fruity, but felt light and insufficient for an unfiltered sake.

Japanese>English

On the Shinkansen, we open another bottle of Nara Sake, Kisenju✨. The palate is sweet and sour and yogurt-like. It is light and pleasantly schwishy. It is easy to drink even in a tipsy state! It is also gorgeous and strawberry-like, so it feels like strawberry yogurt. And the last one is Yamazaki 12 years old from sake. We ended our trip with a glass of Shinkansen Gokukkatai ice cream 😌. There are still many places I want to visit, so I will visit Kansai again if I have a chance...!

After a long time. The flavor and spiciness from the attack is substantial to the end.
