August 21, 2023 Dinner at home. At the supermarket I stopped by after work. I found some mebaru sashimi at the supermarket I stopped by after work. I took it home with some sake. The sake I chose was Shimantugawa sake, which I have not had for a long time. It has a gentle The sweetness and crisp, clean taste It is the best match for sashimi. It is not flashy but it is an excellent sake that goes well with meals. It is an excellent sake.

Get this one, too, at a reasonable price😋. This is a Junmai Ginjo sake, and I could taste the aroma and flavor of the rice malt with gusto. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm drawn to the wild side of things😅.

Time is almost up! The last sake comparison! This sake is from Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture! My father, who was born in Kurayoshi City, passed away during Golden Week! He was 95 years old. I have had the red label before, but I found the navy blue label at a restaurant on this day, so I had it! Surprisingly fruity! The ceremony to lay his ashes at the end of this month has been decided! The engraving on the grave has been completed without any problems. I would like to drink sake with my father in the next life, as it was difficult for me to drink with him in this life 🍶. extensive knowledge Sake Mother: Sanki Amazake Moto Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: Tamakae (produced in Tottori prefecture) Rice polishing ratio: 55 Yeast: 601 yeast Alcohol content: 15

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Toyosaka -Toyosaka-. This is the first Toyosaka Echigo Den'emon we have had in a year, and it is made with Ginbukiyo (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Tamakoe). Here are the specs for the soft-water Yamahai Yamahai Tank Shiboribori Nama-nazake. It has a grape-like heady aroma and a fresh, rich, apple-like sweetness with a slight dustiness. The astringency of the aftertaste is still present, although it is a bit more subdued than Den-emon's, and it has a perfect balance of freshness and enjoyment during meals!

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

Japanese>English

I got this at the Kokusyu Sake Fair. It said that any opened sake was 1,000 yen, so I bought an old turtle that I liked at the fair. I was a bit confused because the bottle was already opened, but the tank was full. I was a bit confused, but I thought maybe they sold it as opened because no one has a license to sell liquor 🤔. Some prefectures were selling it at the booth, but I guess they didn't expect to sell it there. Hachitan Nishiki and Momiji yeast are used. Fruity, apple and pear-like. A little gassy with a smooth mouthfeel. A little spicy at the end. I can't find the same label when I checked... New product? Pineapple-like when the temperature rises. There's a product called Red Turtle with the same specs, and I wonder if it's a renewal of that? Old Turtle seems to be renewing the labels of their other products, too. But I can't find much information about it... I feel it's very sweet when I drink Morinori Natsu-shu after drinking this... I think it tastes better when it is close to room temperature than when it is fresh out of the fridge. When I drank it at a national sake fair, it was a little colder than room temperature. When the gassiness goes away, it becomes more like a fruity dry sake.

I bought this sake and will post the details later 😊. I've been searching for the same product but can't seem to find it...

Hakurei was sold in the bargain section at the supermarket. I bought it by accident. It tasted clean and dry. It was a good purchase.

Japanese>English

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

It is firm and fruity. It has a profound sense of weight that can be matched not only with Japanese cuisine, but also with Western meat dishes, and with any other cuisine.

Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

Japanese>English

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.

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.
