(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 found this in the back of the cup sake fridge, I wonder if this is the same Ryosen cup I drank before? I think it has a similar cocoa taste or something, but I think the bottle was much stronger, I'll ask next time I go to buy some summer sake. Of course it was a delicious sake, I'm looking forward to summer sake!

Japanese>English

This is Hiroshima sake we received as a gift. It is also delicious! The first glass was dry and sharp, but from the second glass, I could taste the fruity flavor of muscat...I guess. 300ml is just right too (lol). Local sake is fun, isn't it? Thank you for the sake! We will definitely win...Carp!

The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!

Sake of choice when you're not sure what to have for your second drink 🍶. Hakurakusei when you are in trouble⭐️ Hakurakusei when you are happy to have it: ⭐️ I feel that I like Hakurakusei more than I think I do.

What is this sour? Summer Sake Goldfish label, said to have about twice the acidity. It was so sour that it seemed to dissolve the enamel of my teeth, and it didn't suit my palate. I heard that there is a version without acidity.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.

先月池亀を飲んで黒兜も飲んでみたいなー🙄なんて投稿をしていたのですが、次の日の青山三河屋のインスタに黒兜入荷の告知が😂 早速買ってまいりました。この時期限定の生酒で最近流行りの白麹でも紅麹でもなく黒麹を使っているそうです。上立ち香はほんのりイチゴのシロップ🍓のような甘い香り。口に含むと綺麗な酸味に透明感のある甘味と旨味。仄かな甘味を感じながらスッとキレていく感じ。池亀のお酒は2本目ですが、ここのお酒は透明感をすごく感じますね。美味しかったです🍶✨🐢

Fruity and very tasty. Easy to drink for everyone and my favorite.

Japanese>English

Local breweries, neighborhood supermarkets If it's good, it's profitable. The aroma is average for a ginjo, and the mouthfeel and taste are both somewhat characteristic, with some bitterness. The mouthfeel is not gorgeous, but rather a hard smell that passes into a flower, giving the impression of a dry taste at the throat. Officially, it has a sake rating of +4. Unfortunately, the impression of bitterness remains in the head until the end, and unfortunately it shows up both in the sake by itself and when combined with something else. Unfortunately, it shows up both on its own and with something else. I think those who do not feel this discomfort can match it with anything. I thought the cospa was not bad, but I think I will pick up a different brand if it is Tenshin.

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.

Japanese>English

It was a junmai daiginjo and had a gorgeous apple-like flavor and sweetness. Good for an aperitif.

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.

This Sake has a full mouth feel and a rich flavor. It has the flavor of sweet melon. There is also a bit of acid at the finish to give this a clean aftertaste. Very nice!

Standing drink in Ueno. Dry and delicious! Niigata's sake is delicious ♫

At Izakaya It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and is fruity. It has a nice lingering finish with just the right amount of umami and acidity. Rice: Hitomebore produced in Gunma Prefecture

Japanese>English

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Junmai Ginjo Namahasho, velour-like material on the label On the first day, it was a light, fresh yeast yeast. Apple-like aroma. A few days later, I drank it and found sourness and a slippery umami flavor. Can I write about my strange impression? The umami atmosphere and the aroma when it passed through the nose reminded me of tarako (cod roe). I wonder why... something about amino acids?
