The name is Motooi no Matsu. It doesn't say it, but the rice is Miyamanishiki. The sake shop's website says the sake content is -11, but I didn't feel it was that sweet. It's clean and clean, with a slight honey-like sweetness. It has an excellent balance of umami and acidity. It's a bit light for a raw sake. It says "light" on the back label. The label on the back says it is light. Is it a strong sake that can withstand aging?

We have found a super cosmetic sake! This yellowish color and acidity is quite effective. It seems to be made with malic acid yeast and is somewhat apple-like. It's both modern and classic, it's strange. If I come across it again, I will definitely buy it! 1,212 yen including tax

The clerk at the liquor store recommended this sake to me if I liked it sweet. Indeed, it was a perfect strike! My partner and I said in unison, "Delicious! I said in unison. At first, the sourness is strong and tingling, but when you swallow it, the aroma of rice escapes from your nose, and there is a faint sweet aftertaste. If you are not a fan of sake, this is a sake you should try. Wakaha Shuzo is the best!

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Jun Dai is in the 1500 yen range and very cosy👍 When it comes to Niigata, I love Kafuda-shu, it's very similar to the acidity of that Kafuda-shu 😋. I love Niigata, but I can't tell if it's sweet or spicy 😅I found myself drinking 3 gou of it, so it's good 😋. But I think it's the winner 😆. I'd like to try the other ones though👍

This is the last of the sake purchased at the Nagoya liquor store. Rice used is Yumesansui Beautiful smooth sweetness and moderate bitterness and spiciness. It has a little heaviness, but it is a well-balanced sake ❗️. Not bad❣️

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.

Return Series. With the concept of "to the world", alcohol 12℃. It's something I've been curious about because of my perception that it's an emerging force in Niigata. It's a white wine taste. Almost a white wine. The sourness of the wine was so strong that I gave up on it.

A 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo, Meguro Gorosuke, from Tama Flavor in Uonuma City (formerly Morimon Village), Niigata Prefecture. As is typical of Uonuma sake, it is a ginjo-shu that is not overly aromatic. I remember drinking it once at Tatsuya, a yakiton (grilled pork dumpling) restaurant in Numabukuro on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.

Lighter than expected, sour, sweet and ricey. I was worried before drinking it because it had quite a bit of color, but I was relieved to see the explanation on the back label. The Tama Flavor brewery is known for its regular brand, Tama Flavor, which is a light, dry sake that is the king of Uonuma, but they also brew Itkey and 46°C Echigo-Bushi (Samurai), which I recognized once again as a brewery with a very sharp personality.

Chikoma newly handled at our favorite liquor store. Chikoma is a sake brewery located in Shirakawa, Fukushima Prefecture. It is a light nigori, which is rare for summer sake. There is almost no scent of noboritaka. The mouthfeel is moist and sweet with a hint of sourness. The aftertaste, which has a slight sake-like aftertaste, is quickly capped off by a mild acidity and bitterness. There is no sharp taste, and the overall impression is round and gentle. However, the ......... stopper is ...... loose! When opening the mouth, I took off the stopper and the stopper popped! It's a good thing that the cork fell out when I removed the stopper when opening the bottle. The problem starts here. When I shook the bottle up and down the next time I drank it, the movement of the liquor inside opened the stopper. Thanks to this, the carpet was soaked with liquor. It's not good that the stopper opens almost without resistance. So I replaced the stopper with an appropriate one. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

The aroma is mild and apple-like 😭The sweetness and umami of rice spreads in the mouth, followed by sourness 😊The aftertaste is not persistent as the sweetness seems to disappear gradually 😊It was a delicious sweet and tasty sake 🥰.
