Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 38 Alcohol content 16 Capacity 720ml Degree of sweetness/spiciness: Sweet/Hot/Hard How to drink: Cold or room temperature (7-15℃) 720ml, approx. 4,500 yen Matching dish: Beef shank stewed in spicy Japanese style Bought at a brewery in Akashi. A sake that has won various awards. There are many, so check it out yourself! The aroma is fresh and elegant sake aroma. And what is worth mentioning is the taste. You can taste the sweetness of apples and white peaches and the refreshing acidity of pears. Very fresh and fruity. The aftertaste disappears quickly. A refined, fresh, and lush sake. I would like to give my personal impression, so here is my general comment. Overall review ~ S~. If you like sweet, fresh, fruity and refreshing sake, you should try this. I don't want to say "this one", I want you to drink Akashitai. It is a gem that should be enjoyed not only by drinking, but also by rolling it around on the tongue like a wine. It is one of my top five favorite sake. If you like sweet Akashi-tai, please drink it.

Akashi Taihai Unfiltered Honjozo Nama Sake Akashi Sake Brewery Co. alc. 19 degrees, rice polishing ratio 70%. 720ml, about 2000 yen (I think it was about...) Pairing: Bonito Tataki Sake limited to the Visitor Center. Maybe there is an official mail order...? Well... all I can say is that it tastes good anyway. Is it true that it has a high alcohol content...? Is this...? It's so refreshing! It has a smooth and soft sweetness. It is easy to drink, like milk. It tastes great chilled or slightly lukewarm. The alcohol taste is felt because it is a pure sake, but it tastes even better than that. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case, but there is a slight berry-like sweetness.... The aftertaste is also refreshing, and the alcohol content is high, but it goes down well. It is very easy to enjoy. I think this is one of those drinks that even people who don't like alcohol can enjoy. I want to praise it a lot, but... General Comment ~ S~. Delicious, but I personally prefer the Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjo. Akashi-tai itself should be enjoyed by everyone. It's not a habit, it's refreshing, sweet and sour, but I would recommend it to everyone. Akashi-tai should be advertised more to raise its name recognition. Drink it!

Akashitai Unfiltered Junmai Nama-shu Akashi Sake Brewery Co. Rice polishing ratio 70%. alc. 17 degrees 720ml 3000yen (I think it was around ......) Matching homemade smoked pork belly and garlic cheese Sake bought at Akashi Sake Brewery. Maybe seasonal, limited sales route...? It is sweet, sake-like and delicious. It has a full-bodied, umami flavor. The aroma smells a little like alcohol. The aftertaste is very sake-like and alcoholic. Food is difficult to find 🤔. Personally, I think it's for sake lovers to drink sake slowly. Rating ~ B Tasty. Delicious, but personally I found it difficult because I want to match it with food.... I'd give it a B, but that's a bit harsh since it's limited. If you look at the taste alone, it's an A...

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

Drinking outside after work. My wife was off work and we decided to have dinner outside. We found this restaurant in the vicinity of Nara Station - ‼️ We couldn't find a good time to drink at Toyoshuku, so we went to this restaurant and had a glass of Nara's local sake, Shirotoroku (‼️). The aroma was gorgeous, the taste was smooth and sweet on the palate, and the finish was refreshing.

I got this one at my wife's parents' house. I've drunk Rumiko-san before, but this is the first time I've had an active muddy one😙. After 10 minutes of opening and closing the bottle, I finally made a toast🍾 It's fresh and crispy❣️and tingly❣️. It's got a nice sourness and bitterness to it 😆. I think I may have drunk the most 🤪! Thanks for the treat🙏.

I've been drinking a lot of cold sake lately, so I had it heated for the first time in a while 🥰. The rice flavor is very strong and perfect for warming up ️. The mild and soothing taste is very relaxing 😊.

Yamatsuru is the closest sake brewery to my house, but I haven't had much of it lately. The last time I drank it I got the impression that it was peculiar and not really my cup of tea, but not this Junmai Daiginjo! Clear and fruity, good balance of flavors. It's also gorgeous😋. The price is reasonable for a Junmai Daiginjo, but I think it's worth it🧐 I can't underestimate local sake 😚

Low-polished Junmai-shu from Yamatsuru, a local sake brewery in Ikoma, Nara. The name is Choyao. It was a gift, but it looks like it will cost a fortune💧. I heard it was brewed using a method described in a wooden letter from the Nara period. I wonder if it is true. Anyway, let's try it. Wow! It is indeed as rich and sweet as I had heard! The sake level is a whopping -40❗️ But the aftertaste is refreshing. Surprisingly easy to drink and delicious 😋. It's pretty good 👍I'll have to try this one too 😙. But I wonder if people in the Nara period really enjoyed this kind of sake 🤔.

At last! At last, Nara sake complete! The last one was 100㏄. It was a very impressive drink. However, one of the chopsticks is bent in a bow.... It has been bothering me for a while. My consciousness is pulled in that direction. Very hard to grasp lol. Also. There is no aroma. It tastes neither fruity nor sake-like. It is easy to drink and delicious. Yamatsuru-san, I was actually looking for a sake called "Nagaya-ou," which is a recreation of a 1300 year old sake. After all, it's not easy to find! Nakamoto Sake Brewery offers a sake brewery makamakai lunch by reservation only. I would like to visit there someday. This time, I had a chance to taste Nara sake from all 29 breweries! Thanks to Umashu-san, Nara Izumi Yusai-san, and Kintetsu Railway for making this possible. Thank you very much! I am glad that I was able to accomplish this before the end of the year! I love Nara sake! In a post a little while ago, I wrote that the water in Kaze no Mori was ultra-soft water. It's actually super-hard water. I am ashamed.... Here is the correction!

Yamahai Junmai 🍶 Myo no Hana Ei Mie Prefecture pesticide-free Yamada Nishiki 🌾. Rather hard and dry. A little creamy on the back side. Spicy and sour. Sweetness is also felt by the sweetly seasoned Kanpachi Ara-ni. Shiso meat roll skewer softens the perimeter. The octopus ponzu ponzu (octopus potstickers) are hard to miss 😅. I see they have two brands, Myo no Hana and Ei 🧐. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20250227

Last week, I met up with a local friend for the first time in two years and we went to Ueno Castle together! On the way home, I remembered that Moriki Sake Brewery, which brews Rumiko's sake, is located in Iga City, so I asked them to stop by 🙏. I bought a bottle of Ei, which I've never had before, and was curious about its cool name 😂. The toji (master brewer) happened to be there and we talked to him about a lot of things! It was nice to meet him at the Takashimaya Sake Festival last week 😊. Cold sake Ripe pear, white dumpling and mineral aroma Calm impression Light acidity and round, full flavor Very well-balanced with a dry aftertaste

The restaurant does not seem to be a sake store, but the lineup always draws me in. This time, I ordered "SENKOURI" and this was the sake I ordered. Fresh! But almost no acidity. But there was almost no acidity, and a slight bubbling sensation on the tongue. The dishes were sashimi of flatfish and fried red mullet. Oh, yummy! I'm glad I ordered it. (^^)

For some reason it was on special sale at a local supermarket😅. Junmai Ginjo, 60% polished rice ratio, under 1000 yen without tax... too good deal... I'll take it at room temperature 🍶. It's too good to be true! It's very rich! Rice swelling is very nice 🙆 The lingering aftertaste that gently fades away 😄 Even with strong dishes, it doesn't lose at all. Eggplant dengaku looks good 🍆.
