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.

This is another delicious sake from Gunma that was easy to drink! Gunma is a great place for hot springs and sake!

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.

Japanese>English

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

Japanese>English

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 😋.

Temperature Estimated 5°C (refrigerator) Taste 60 Color Gold like apple juice Nose: The aroma is of ham and smokiness with a slight sourness. On the palate, the smokiness is quite strong. Taste: Smoked cheese with aroma. On the palate, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are in good balance. The aftertaste is bitter. Overall impression: A type of cheese for different tastes. Not my favorite.

It was the month before last, but I finally landed in Kyushu for the first time. I drank "Tenshin Tokujun" at an izakaya I went to alone as soon as I arrived, and it was delicious. ‼️ I met up with my friends from Hokkaido a few hours later and had another drink! Kyushu Kiku! The label makes you feel like you're in Kyushu 😊It's a little classical, light and spicy, and it makes you want to eat more 😋The "Nuka-daki", which is fish cooked with rice bran, is also good 👍. I liked the Gundam Base that opened at New Chitose Airport before landing in Kyushu.

I went to Penguin Village, which I had always been curious about. The sign says Kikusui, but I was surprised to find a variety of good sake! The food is delicious and reasonably priced! The food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is fun to drink while receiving souvenirs from customers. Nice! Sake is not on the menu, but rather selected from the fridge. Good! Junmai Namaizume Harazake from Jange! It has a clean, dry taste with a strong umami flavor, and is easy to drink even at the high alcohol content of the original sake! It goes well with sashimi, but also with satsuma-age (fried fish cake), a souvenir of Shizuoka, from an old man who was drinking at the counter!

Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai I could not forget to participate this year: ‼️ Rice used is unknown Juicy and soft on the palate. The richness is low-pasteurized, which I like. The aftertaste is moderately bitter, which is also good. ❣️

I recently went to my favorite liquor store and bought a rare out-of-prefecture sake! I bought it at a liquor store I go to recently because it was from outside the prefecture. It's good, though 😋 The feeling that lingers in the back of your throat after drinking it may be perfect for the coming season.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

Japanese>English

This one, like the Ko-Imari, was purchased when I was with Yoohee-san. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui. It has a melon-like taste and a strong bitter taste like bitter melon. I thought it would be a little sweeter, but it is quite spicy. It is more like melon or cemedine. It is not my favorite type of rice.

#OsakaUmeda# I have an important meeting, I arrived in Osaka. Actually, I arrived early, I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆. I had this before the meeting. Sweet and sticky 🐴.... I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

Japanese>English

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

Japanese>English

The aroma has a hint of nuttiness and grain sweetness behind the steam. When poured warmed, it has a faint golden hue. In the mouth, it has the thickness that only unfiltered sake can have, yet it has a gentle umami flavor that spreads gradually without any cloying taste. The dry sharpness is pleasant, and the lingering aftertaste is quietly sweet and full of rice.

This will be the last sake I drank at Fukuzo. For those of you who think "How much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that you don't feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

It's been a while since I've had sake. I don't often have a chance to drink Ehime sake, but I remembered this bottle that my aunt gave me and opened the bottle. It is a light cloudy, shwashy sake. It is sweet and slightly bitter. Delicious. I can only thank my aunt for this.
