After opening the bottle, there is a bit of the original sake feel. After a few days, it becomes easier to drink. Priced at around 3,200 yen, it is made from pesticide-free Kinmon-Nishiki with a 75% milled rice ratio. It is quite tasty, and while it is close to low milled rice, this sake has potential.

I've been working on the year-end temporary work as well as overseeing the facility renewal work 😅. I'm still working on the project, but it's a little too much 🤔. Well, we are in a rush, but let's drink when we can 🥰, so we had a drink last weekend! Here is what I opened this time 🍶. NEW ENGI Yamae-Nishiki (5) Junmai-shu, unfiltered and fired. Again, I got it as an option in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai (✨️) ［Glass.] It has a calm and subtle fruity aroma, a mild umami flavor on the palate, a subtle smoky aroma on the nose, a long and pleasant finish, and a mineral bitterness at the end. ［Mokkiri] Aroma: Calm aroma, smooth mouthfeel, cool and pungent bitterness like grated daikon (grated radish), and a lingering mineral and subtle bitterness that lingers on the palate. The taste of bitterness is quite strange, and if we compare it to local gourmet food, it gives us an image of "spicy grated buckwheat noodles". The entrées are simmered pork cutlet and chopped tuna. ［The sweetness that has been hidden in the pork cutlet stew soup and mirin (Japanese sweet sake) will blossom when combined with the tuna, and the umami and bitterness that accompanies the sweetness of the sticky fat will be a perfect match when combined with the tuna 😋.

I found it at a liquor store. At any rate, if it is not too expensive, I would like to support Noto Peninsula by buying some sake. When I drank it, I found it to be refreshing! It is delicious, with a good flavor and acidity. I thought Noto Peninsula's sake had a more traditional sake feel, but I would like to continue to care about Noto Peninsula's sake breweries in the future when I think I can enjoy various tastes of sake again. Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku, produced in Wajima Alcohol content 16 degrees Celsius Noto is easy and even sake

Double encore. Iomangoku. Hiyade. The umami enters quickly. The umami expands in the middle and lingers gently.

#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😅.

It was delicious!

Sanada Rokubun Sen Hatsujin 720ml Sake rice: Hitogokochi produced in Yaebaru Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. We purchased this Yamazan Shuzo at Miyajima-san. There were three varieties lined up, so I asked about their characteristics. I was told that the first one is mellow, and the rest become clearer and clearer. I decided to try this one first! I decided to go with this one first. Well, let's open the bottle! The first attack is acidic, but as you drink it, it is well-balanced, mellow, and delicious. Before I knew it, I had almost finished the entire bottle. I hope to get the other two during the Nagano EC free shipping campaign 😆.

Japanese>English

Yamazan has nothing to offer! It's hard to go easy with a clean mouthful. It's hard to drink.

I happened to see it at a distributor and bought it, but it seems to be a very rare sake! It is delicious with mild acidity and umami!

Next is Bishu Kotobuki's Kame-no-o + No. 7 Orikarami. This was also freshly opened. First, it was served cold. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight acidity, umami, and sweetness. It gradually finishes with a slight astringency that is typical of Kame-no-o. Next, it was served warm. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, it has a slightly robust umami and sweetness. The taste is slightly astringent, which is typical of Kame-no-o, and it gradually fades away. It tastes better when heated up too.

Japanese>English

The first saké I had last time was a clear saké of Yumeginko from Bishu Kotobuki with No.7 yeast. It is a draft sake, but it was stored at room temperature at the store, so we served it as it was. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of banana and ripe melon. In the mouth, the sweetness and umami are again like banana and ripe melon. The flavor profile is even clearer than last time, sweet and delicious 🥰. I think this sake tastes better if you let it sit for a bit after opening. It was delicious 🍶✨

Japanese>English

Finally, we had a bottle of Yumeginko +7 Sumi-shu. This was also freshly opened. First, it was served at room temperature. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity with a hint of sweetness and umami like banana or ripe melon. The flavor profile is clear, probably due to the lack of orikura. Then warmed up. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, it has a sweetness and umami like banana and ripe melon. The moderate acidity adds a nice accent. Both cold and warmed sake were delicious. I think this was also the best of the three. They have 2 types of Sumi-shu and 1 type of Oragara-mi that I haven't tried yet, so I have to go drink them 😋.

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 🙏.

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.

Japanese>English

We received a bottle of "Sato Ubei" from Shinmasa Sake Brewery! It is a very special sake that is rarely seen, and the moment it is poured into a glass, it is already filled with a sense of "preciousness" and "gratitude. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The aroma is elegant and deep, with a sense of transparency that is typical of Shinmasa, while the taste is calm. In the mouth, it has a beautiful taste with both delicacy and depth, and the umami of the rice and lingering aftertaste are superb. It has a somewhat serene and dignified appearance, and is a sake that seems to be the liquid expression of the brewer's thoughts. It was a miracle to have this bottle, but when I actually tried it, I was even more impressed than it was worth. It was truly delicious and made me want to savor it as if chewing it slowly for a "special time" 😊.
