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

A special junmai sake with a clear taste. It's a little more refined than I usually prefer. In that sense, it may not be like a special junmai sake, or perhaps it is because it is a special junmai sake? The aroma is nice too... 🤩.

Kasumigashoju, Junmai Ginjo. I bought it immediately because it was half price at the drugstore. The spiciness and sweetness overlap and fuse from the beginning and disappear with a delicious taste. Good ministry.

Sake for daily use bought at MaxValu in front of Yamagata Station. I drink it at room temperature. The sweetness of the rice softly seeps in. The sweetness is offset by the lack of acidity, and the bitterness is moderate, giving it a gentle impression. It is delicious with a complex flavor. When it is cooled down, the sharp acidity rises and the sweetness disappears. When slightly cooled, it is sweet and sour and goes down smoothly. It is also delicious with a little water. Sake from the Tohoku region is dangerous. All of them are delicious.

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421

Alcohol content: 15 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:60 It is distributed exclusively by a special distributor. The label design looked like Kuroryu, so when I first saw it, I thought it was a new series of Kuroryu. The color is slightly yellowish. The aroma was subdued and not very noticeable. The taste is refreshing with a predominance of umami and bitterness in the aftertaste. There is not much sweetness, and a little bit of sourness. In general, it was a dry food sake.

Hekiryu Dry Junmai Sake The aroma is soft and fluffy, but the taste is sharp and sharp, but it does not go down the throat harshly. It finishes like water, which is a strange feeling. It has the depth of a Junmai sake, but leaves the palate refreshed.

Like Kitanohomare, it was purchased at a liquor store where Nemuchi and I stopped by after the Ogimachi Park event. I'm not sure what brands they carry, but I get the impression that they stock a lot of Yamamoto, Eiko-Fuji, Chuai, and Yonesuru. I also wonder if they have a better stock of sake bottles. The first impression is light and refreshing, and the second half has a chemical-like umami and a strong alty taste. It's not my favorite type of flavor... I don't think you can tell it's a daiginjo if you drink it blind. When I drink it again, I feel acidity and a hint of sweetness. I think the sweetness has increased a little, so the nuance that I don't like has lessened. I don't care what you think, but isn't the balance bad because the seal on the bottle is the size of a bottle of raw sake? I thought so. The regular brand name of this brewery is Ando Suigun, but Ajigasawa seems to be a PB of a sake wholesaler in Shizuoka.

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.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.
Kitanohomare K30 Konjun is a junmai sake from Godo Shusei brewed at a factory in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The amount of koji used in the brewing process is 1.5 times larger than usual, resulting in a rich, full aroma and flavor that spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake that will not be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food.

@Koriyama Iando After having a drink in Omiya, I got tired of going back to Tokyo, so I jumped on the 🚄 and went to Koriyama. I decided to have a quick bite in front of the station, but it was crowded everywhere, so I went to a new restaurant that I found. They have a good selection of local sake, and I chose "Yuri", which I had never had before, and it is from the same brewery as Aizu Nakasho! I heard that this sake is brewed by a mother and daughter who are both sake brewing technicians! It has a soft sweetness at first, but eventually it becomes slightly dry and pleasant to drink. It is very easy to drink, which is impressive and delicious.
