#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!

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

Good flavor, just a hint of acidity. Congratulations to the Dodgers for winning the league championship! Mr. Otani, you've done too much...

On YouTube. I watched an anime called Milky Subway on the Ginga Express. It was pretty funny👍 It's a pink label from Seventh Day. Nice fresh sweetness and acidity ✨👍 It's soooo good! The other one is Tasake shochu😅 It's good with soda

The beer in the photo is the one I won in a raffle at a sale when I bought some Fukuoka sake, thanks to the Softbank Hawks winning the Japanese championship. Thank you, Hawks. But I want Lotte to win next year. ⚾️ Now, Nanayo. It has a clean taste with a strong acidity. It tastes like white wine.

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 😋.

Always at the store Shintaro, when the master opened the shpon and opened it vigorously. It is not a ginjo, but it has a fruity and it is delicious. It was a good taste 😆. The accompaniment was homemade smoked salmon.

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 🙏.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. I've been drinking it with mackerel tataki, wild yellowtail, squid sashimi, and tuna sashimi.

Japanese>English

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" 😊.

I stumbled across this sake at the store✨. The Obata Sake Brewery, which brews Manotsuru, used to use the brand name "Sashu Masamune" until shortly after the war. And the only specs revealed were alcohol content and 100% Sado rice. I bought it because I was attracted by the story and the concept of telling a story through taste, not specs! Gentle muscat-like aroma A clean sweetness with no cloying taste. The mouthfeel is wonderful, and the flavor is worthy of the Green Label name. It has a nice sharpness and a bitterness that appears later. It is refreshing and pleasant to drink!

Souvenirs from a trip to see the autumn leaves at Momijiyama in Yamazaki, Shiso City. Currently, there are two remaining sake breweries in the city, Sanyo Sake Brewery and Old Pine Brewery, but until 40 years ago, there was another brewery, Honke Monzenya, which brewed and sold a type of sake called sansho (three laughs). The building of the Honke Monzenya still remains, but in order to make the most of the historical landscape where sake breweries line up from Sanyo Bai to Laematsu and Honke Monzenya, The Yamazaki Central City Area Revitalization Committee (Good Town Project) was formed, and over a period of two years, "Sansho" was revived! There is a café called "Sansho" on the former site. Let's start with the old pine tree.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've posted. When I stopped by my hometown, there was a fall festival. Old Pine nearby was selling sake by the cup and I was sucked into the store. I was attracted by the "Hiyoroshi" (limited hiyaoroshi) and bought it! I should have bought several bottles. I liked it so much that I wished I had bought a few bottles (which I couldn't), and I sipped it after dinner and finally finished it 🍶.

Japanese>English

I'm not sure if this is the right kind of check-in 😅, but here is the check-in from my first visit to the Oldest Pine Sake Brewery 3 years ago😃There is a park near the brewery with beautiful autumn leaves 🍁The apple juice I bought at that time was delicious 😘It was a liqueur mixed with sake and almost an adult's juice 😁💦. It was almost like an adult juice 😁💦. Label: 🏷️ Low difficulty😍. Soaking in hot water makes it easier to peel off! Where to buy 🍶:Laematsu Sake Brewery Co.
