Rice used is unknown. According to the owner of the sake shop, the sake is aged for three years, but there is no strong sense of aging, and it is a dry junmai-shu with a good acidity. It is a dry junmai-shu with a lot of acidity. The sweetness that spreads fluently and the spicy astringency in the latter half are very unique. After a few days, it becomes more crisp and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd like to have more of a woody or smoky flavor. Either way, it's not a type that will appeal to everyone. The mainstay of this brewery is Yamahai brewing, so it will be interesting to see how peculiar it is.

Visit the "Tenzan Early Summer Brewery Opening", and bought a limited edition of last year's freshly squeezed I still have a weakness for the word "limited edition". As usual, I have a weakness for the word "limited". The sake was slightly thawed and cooled down to the perfect temperature, The moment you put it in your mouth, the good aroma and flavor spreads, The sake is also cooler on the throat, The sake is even clearer and more pleasant to the taste, It was delicious. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts.

Tenzan Junmai Ginjyo Nama Pink Light Nigori It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle because it was too active! It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle 🤯. It has a sweet and sour taste like strawberries, as is typical of sake with red yeast, but the gas is so strong that it tastes like carbonated juice without soda! It's like a carbonated juice without soda! There are still some red yeast sake that I don't know about, I'll have to look into it more!

Rooster Yoemon from Kawamura Sake Brewery in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture. This sake is famous for its sour taste, which is rare in Iwate Prefecture. I drank it for the first time at a store in Hanamaki and was surprised by the sourness. It seemed to be quite a challenge since Iwate is generally known for its sweet and tasty sake. Even so, I heard that the owner stubbornly continued to make sour sake. (^○^) Nowadays, with the Shinsai boom, Yoemon's sour sake is also selling well, especially outside of the prefecture. This sake itself is light and refreshing. It has a mild taste that does not interfere with meals. It was very tasty. ( ´ ▽ ` ) No

It was said on the SNS of the sake shop that it was a new arrival, but it was made in April of last year, so maybe it was aged in the warehouse? The aroma is light and ripe. The sweetness is fruity and the umami is firm and delicious.

Japanese>English

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025①. Suzu Masamune, Biwa no Chouju, ALL SHIGA booth. Arriving at the station nearest to the Biwako Hotel where the event was held, I had some time to kill so I went to a ramen restaurant produced by Minoru Sano, who is known as the devil of ingredients in the ramen industry, to get some food for my stomach. I was able to order without waiting in line, and arrived at the venue just in time. There was a long line to get in, and we didn't get in until 10 minutes later. The first thing I headed straight for was Suzu Masamune, which I had been aiming for. I was approached by the liquor store that BOUKEN-san patronizes and greeted him. ◉ Suzu Masamune Junmai Ginjo The sake has a strong umami with a hint of gas. It is a 3-year aged sake with a fruity richness. It's really good! It seems that it is not available for purchase since they are not making it anymore. After the event, I visited a liquor store in Kusatsu and told them I went to a Shiga sake event in Otsu, and the owner of the store was there too. According to the information from the liquor store, a liquor store that had Suzu Masamune in stock had given it to him for the event. He said that the sake was well preserved and had been aged for about 5 years.

The second check-in in the morning Nice sake with the taste of rice! Is this cheap sake? It's a cheap sake! I think it could be sold for 1000 yen if it was branded like wine... For a businessman like me, it's a blessing! At the mountain pass, I got that Rikimochi (rice cake): ‼︎ They were selling it on the platform. The number of pieces sold at the Pass Station is probably very small, but I guess that's how the stores feel about it! I am very thankful to the railroad lovers! The rice cakes were delicious and slightly salty.

Drunken Garden in Azumino, Shinshu. I was curious to buy it because it is 59% Hitogokochi, a Nagano Prefecture sake. As the label says, it is a refreshing sake with a delicious flavor. It is not at the top level of popular Nagano sake, but it has a glimpse of Nagano's sake character.

Unfiltered raw sake & Asahi rice for 2,530 yen including tax is a super deal ‼️ It is not so fresh, but has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight sense of maturity. The rich umami comes in smoothly, and the finish is crisp and tight. It has a good balance of bitterness, bitterness, and sweetness, and is the type of sake that one does not get tired of drinking as an unfiltered, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a good sake to drink with food or as an evening drink. ❗️ It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

It tastes a little bit like aged, but it has all the sweetness, flavor, bitterness, and spiciness you would expect. It tastes like tea. It tastes like apple tea. It is a slightly different type of flavor. It tastes juicy, sweet and spicy. Some people may find it spicy, but it's a subtle taste.

Enjoying delicious sake with the brewer 20259 The booth of Washin. Since it is located in the mountains, there are many dry sakes that go well with the meat-eating culture. ◉Washin Tokubetsu Junmai Omachi Slightly aged with a hint of grain. It can be served lukewarm and is easy to pair with all kinds of food. ◉Washin Junmai Unfinished Nama-shu Asahi This is the most popular of the WASHIN brands. It has a strong rice flavor with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. It is made from Asahi rice. It grows tall and falls over easily, and it seems that the only farmers producing Asahi are in Osaka and a small part of Okayama. ◉Washin Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Namaishiki The nose is sweet and clean, with a hint of Yamadanishiki. The nose is sweet and clean, not unlike Yamadanishiki. The sake is a little strong. ◉Washin Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake Omachi The same structure as Yamadanishiki. It is made with a yeast that produces acidity, and is moderately sweet with a strong flavor that is typical of Omachi. This is my favorite. ◉Washin Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-Nishiki Elegant, clean, and graceful. The taste is slightly bitter. It is a small brewery, and after Corona, the number of bottles produced decreased considerably.

I was told it was more on the sweet side, but it seemed flat. I don't feel any spiciness. Also, the alcohol taste is weak. I think it is easy to drink.

Manazuru goes well with heated sake. Delicious 😋 blown in the autumn breeze. Mellow and flowing. The austere label is nice too.

Good evening, it's Shamrock, a parallel world from Manazuru in our first series ☘️☘️☘️. Not a Yotsuba, but I'm opening this bottle to pray for Japan's 🇯🇵 soccer team to win tonight✨ It has a sweetness that is typical of rice, lactic yogurt and acidity, and is delicious 🐴🐴🐴🐴, but it has a high alcohol spiciness on the back end that makes it very drinkable. I had a puku puku brew the other day. I think it is similar to the junmai sake I drank the other day from Pukupuku Brewing (that one is Koshihikari) 🤗. I heated it up to lukewarm to try it out and it doubled in flavor 😋.
