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.
During a business trip to Sapporo, all-you-can-drink nigori sake was served at a gathering of related parties. It was not too sweet, soft, full-bodied, and very tasty. I couldn't help but drink too much.

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

Overall 8 (out of 10) Same as yesterday, this is a drink from Tokyo. This time, not from the 23 wards, This time it is not from the 23 wards of Tokyo, but from Higashimurayama City. According to their website, they hold various events based on the philosophy that "brewers brew sake and create relationships between people. This sake is described as having "a subtly sweet, gorgeous, elegant aroma and a fresh, clear taste. It is indeed a subtle sweetness at the beginning, with a slight astringency, and a certain freshness 👍. The aftertaste also closes while maintaining the sweetness and astringency. I got such an impression! I personally felt that it would be good if the sweetness and astringency, and the umami of the rice were added to the sweetness and astringency 👍. It was served chilled. The image of the aroma that I felt... -Aroma: A slight ginjo aroma. -Aroma: Slightly astringent on the nose.

I stopped by the brewery for the first time in a while. I used to have a special fire-brewed junmai and a sake called "Mariko no shu" which is named after the female toji (master brewer?). Both were quite dry, classical sake. Both were quite dry classical sake, and I had the impression, for better or worse, that this is what local sake is supposed to be like. This was probably my first nigori sake, but it looked delicious, so I bought some! I wondered if the beautiful woman at the sales counter was Mariko herself? It has a classical aroma with a banana feel. It is more of a hint than a standing aroma. It has a classical taste and is dry, but you can drink it by itself if you want! It is very easy to drink because it has a lot of turbidity, which gives it a strong umami flavor and makes it easy to taste the sweetness. I drank it with kimchi nabe (kimchi stew), and I think it goes well with strong flavors and nabe dishes! It also seems to go well with meat, and I am sure it would go well with ginger-grilled pork or chicken steak. I imagine it is like Kikuhime nigori or Tamagawa nigori! To be honest, I think it's one of the best in the Koshu Plum Grove, so I'd be happy to buy a bottle and drink it slowly. It can probably be stored at room temperature until early spring.

I had decided on Mariko's Sake for my first visit to Saitama. The Sato Sake Brewery is run by Mariko Sato, the toji of the brewery. There is almost no alcohol taste, and the spiciness comes later with more umami. It is sweet and umami, but the spiciness lingers a little.

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet.

It is not written on the label, but according to the liquor store's explanation, it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Omachi. It was purchased together with Tsururei Nigori at Tanaka Shoten. It has a fresh taste like a nama-shu, and the sweetness and spiciness are in balance. Refreshing and fruity. Gentle sweetness with a sense of thickening.

The third cup went to "sake-ichisoku"! Thick, grape-like aroma. The mouthfeel is full, with a tangy, pungent, classic flavor. It goes well with mushrooms to enjoy a moment of old-fashioned feeling! The sake itself is smooth and silky, so the lightness and the thickness of the flavor are a good accent👍.
