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.

Yoemon 3

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

Sake Tasting in Nihonbashi Area (1) Toru Yoemon (Iwate/Kawamura Sake Brewery) A refreshing, spring-like sake with a touch of acidity! Delicious! A bonanza from the very first event 🍶. Personally, I like 96: Special Junmai Nama Shu Gin Ginga 50%!

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.

All Gunma Maifu Drinking Set. This time it's Tonenishiki from Nagai Honke in Numata. I've been a customer here for a long time. The color is pale yellow. The original aroma of the rice stands out. It has a rich taste with a sense of maturity. It has the richness that is typical of pure rice, and has a relatively classic taste.

Japanese>English

Sake made from Koshihikari rice, 90% polished rice, and once-fired. I chilled it. Slightly grain-like sweet and sour aroma. It has a moist sweetness and rich acidity, with a juicy umami lingering in the aftertaste, creating a luxurious atmosphere. It looks like it could be aged for a long time.

Japanese>English

Tone-Nishiki low-alcohol sake, with a QST (Quantum Science and Technology Agency) seal on it, probably because QC13, an export yeast, is used. Chilled as indicated on the label. The aroma is refreshing and sweet. The taste is mildly sweet and sour, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering richness. A little matured? It is fruity, but it does not feel out of place when paired with fish. Nagai Honke is a small brewery with a small production volume, but they have some interesting sakes that are fun to drink.

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.

Japanese>English

Sake and sour fruity taste, like drinking slowly.

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.

Takeuchi Sake Brewery, which is closed on Sundays, so it was hard to come here. Dry taste❗️ It goes well with sashimi. Please give our best regards to Kanoizumi.

The nearest sake brewery to our house Takeuchi Sake Brewery There have been a lot of rumors in the Kansai sake brewery since last fall 🍶 after a newspaper report in February 🍶. Sake making seems to have been finished by August or September 🍶 We compared the sake we could get our hands on 🍶. Tadai Junmai Ginjo and Tokubetsu Junmai Ginjo had the taste of rice and were delicious 🍶. From now on, Kitajima Sake Brewery will be the closest sake brewery to us 🍶.

This is a gifted Junmai Ginjo, a sake from Nagano. It's fruity but not sweet in the mouth, and it has a crisp and well-balanced bitterness... This quality goes well with "X" cuisine, not just raw sake.

Japanese>English

Warmed. The spiciness with the umami is crisp.

Japanese>English

This is the fifth brewery in Saku's sake brewery series. This is a rare bottle as it has recently met with a fire and is closed. We happened to find it at a one-day spa and secured it. It has a strong bitterness and acidity, with a tangy mouthfeel. It also has a sweetness, so it is not harsh. It is the best sake from Saku so far. It's a shame that we won't be able to taste it for a while. I hope they will do their best to bring it back.

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 😋.
