Continuing from yesterday, a comparison of the tops of the median that was given to me by Princess Sabori: ‼️ First, the blue label ‼️ This is R3BY It's a Tokushun but with 50% polished rice 🤣. The aroma is like grape 🍇? It has a gentle sweetness and a bitter finish that is also gentle and tasty 😋 I think I prefer it to Araubashiri. Next, I'm going to try the R2BY black label supernatant 👍.

Japanese>English

Forgot to post this😆 Then the R4's. I knew I prefer the taste of this one 😋. I think I like the taste of the one year aged one better 😋 It's mellower or calmer....

Japanese>English

Followed by Origami: ‼️ I took the supernatant before mixing it, and it was not so different from the supernatant before 🤣. No wonder 😆. When I mix it, the flavor is so much better 😋 I would like to repeat this 👍! It's also cosmetically good to buy only the "ogara-mi" and enjoy it twice 😆.

Fruity, sweet but with a bit of sourness. It is refreshing and tasty.

Hitoki Junmai The aroma is not that strong. It has a fruity, pale yellowish flavor. When you sip it, the fruity sweetness comes on at once. It has a pleasant light, fruity sweetness. It has the so-called "Mio-like" taste, but it is much more like a fruit wine, with a sweetness like dessert wine. It is very delicious. You can drink it by itself.

Limited edition distribution sake from a brewery famous for "Bunkajin". It has a full-bodied rice flavor and Moderate and distinctive acidity to induce an appetite. A deep and complex taste.

Japanese>English

It seems to be a limited distribution product from the same brewery as Bunkajin! It has a refreshing ramune like aroma, sweet and sour flavors, juicy and deep 😋.

Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake. It is quite sweet with a slight sizzle, but has a light and refreshing aftertaste! It's a wonder! Delicious!

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

Katakana Masamune ⚔️ The brewer is different from Hiragana Masamune. This one is a harder, dryer strain in comparison. The dryness precedes the freshness of the raw. Lukewarm heating was the best match 😋.

Japanese>English

Drinking out. When you drink outside, you accumulate records of what you drank😅. The aroma is almost imperceptible. It is refreshing when you put it in your mouth. There is a slight sweetness, but it gives a light impression. The aftertaste is a bit like a classic Japanese sake. Sake that is not too sweet is also good. Straightforward and simple impression 🍶.

I bought it after tasting it at Hankyu Department Store. I've said it many times, but it's called "Takarayama" 😅. I'll say it again and again😅. It has a heavy mouthfeel for a fire-brewed sake, but I wonder if it's a raw sake? I got the impression that it was wrapped in a gentle sweetness from start to finish. It also has a lot of acidity. It tastes better than when I tasted it.

Japanese>English

It has a clear, refreshing taste with a good sweetness. It does not have a strong impact, but it can be drunk calmly. It is a good food sake. There are several varieties of this "rice bag series" with different rice, so it would be fun to compare them. I like "Hozan". ❣️

Hatsugetsu Yoshino🌕. Soft sweetness, gentle acidity, a little bitterness. Easy to drink and delicious 😋. One that makes me glad I'm in the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai ✨ This finally completes my post up to May 🙌! I have a little more time today, so I'll get to it 😆.

Japanese>English

The second bottle was the remainder of the Tozawa Hitogokochi from the previous Shinshu Kamerei. The third bottle is here ‼️again Nagano sake 😋. I️️️tsukiyoshi no ‼️. The toji is a woman! Nagano sake is delicious 😋. I thought it was sweet, but it seems pretty dry 😋I think it's a great sake for a meal 👍Drinking it chilled is a great way to get a kick out of it👍. I heard one of the hyenas was today's No. 1 😆.

Weekday off for lunchtime drinking. Izakaya in Akabane. I heard from a junior colleague that the hegi soba (buckwheat noodles) is delicious, so I visited the izakaya. First, I had Tsukiyoshino's orikagarami. The taste is gentle, elegant, and attractive.

On the menu it was Tamitsu, but it says early spring in romaji, so I registered for early spring. It reads bouryu, which means muddy. It is light and muddy. It has a nice pithy feeling. It has a refreshing acidity. This is good for summer camps.

Japanese>English

At Kimura Sake Shop in Tamatsukuri. I was not sure whether to register at Tamatsuko or Early Spring. Rice is Kami no Ho and Koshihikari. It tastes like a slightly effervescent and refreshing ramune. A refreshing taste perfect for summer. It tastes like something you would find at Takachiyo. It won't be left in stores until summer, but...

Japanese>English

I really wanted to eat leatherfish, so I opened a bottle from our stock and thought it would go well with the fish. It went perfectly with the fish.
