Hitomebore. A store exclusive, I guess. As is typical of this sake brewery, the richness of the umami flavor is in harmony with the mild sweetness and extends smoothly.

I almost forgot. It has a fruity aroma with a hint of origami-ness and acidity. The aroma is reminiscent of grass cake and vanilla. Lightly, you can taste the sweetness and milky richness of the rice. Fruity rice. Sourness and a light texture that is crisp and clean. Taste level 3.5/5

9 points (wife: 8.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice used: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: less than 50 Acidity: 1.6 Yeast used: Shimane University HA11 Alcohol percentage：17 Store where purchased: After all is said and done, Waface (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly ripe pineapple-like sweetness on the top palate The same fruity aroma as the top shelf, the full sweetness and rice flavor spreads with a light lactic acidity, and the slight bitterness and spiciness of the alcohol makes it finish quickly and smoothly. The aroma is fruity, the sweetness and the umami of the rice are both strong, but the slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol in the latter half bring them together nicely, so it goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It goes well with sashimi and chicken tataki.

While Shinigami is yellowish and old-fashioned, Ura-Shinigami is the exact opposite, a refreshing, easy-drinking sake.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

Tried at Niigata Ponshukan. It was my favorite one I tried. Fruity and hazelnutty!

We had a good amount of sake from New Year's. I was happy to be able to drink this sake, which is rarely seen in the Kanto area. It is a very refreshing sake with a very smooth aftertaste! It went well with Osechi.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Laematsu store where I stopped by on my way home from Hatsumode (New Year's visit to a shrine). It was served with dinner on New Year's Day. It was spicy and very good to drink. Too bad I left it at my parents' house without finishing it 😢.

Japanese>English

Slightly aromatic. A model sake. It has a moderate zingy aroma and goes well with meals. Good as an aperitif.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking this brand, but it is handled by a well-known sake store in Aomori, and I have hesitated to mail order it several times. So I was confident that I would not make a mistake. I was torn between this one and the Yukinaka Hakkoda from the same brewery, but I went with this one. At room temperature. The aroma is slightly banana-like. When you drink it, the umami of rice rises thinly, and if you drink it by itself, it will slowly and gently lift you up with its umami and spiciness. It becomes more crisp when paired with cheese. At 40℃, it has a little more rice flavor. The crisp and sharp taste is better than at room temperature. I personally prefer this brand to be served hotter, so I set the temperature at 50°C. The aroma is not too strong and the taste is mild. The aroma is not too strong and remains mild, but the umami comes out slowly, and the sharpness is enhanced by the slight alcohol taste. I personally prefer this temperature. Sake from the southern region is often sharp without being sweet, and I have the impression that this is also the case here. In addition to cheese, it goes well with kinpira, tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of locusts, and ikamentsuchi, a specialty of Aomori. The sake has no cloying taste, and I can sense a high level of technical skill. Next time, I would like to buy some Umakuchi or Sakuta, which has a different character, but with the recent inflation and saturation of brands, I wonder if it will be a problem if they will be able to get them in stock.

For today's sake, I chose a Junmai Daiginjo from Kuchiman 😀. We compared the tasting sakes, one brought to room temperature for tasting and one kept chilled, and this one for tasting brought to room temperature might taste better than the chilled one 🤣. The chilled one is just too beautiful to swallow without anything stuck to it😅. The room temperature one spread the sweet and delicious flavor and filled my mouth with deliciousness😇

Sake from Okuaizu! I had it for the first time at a restaurant here and it was delicious, so I'm repeating! Fruity and easy to drink😄.

Japanese>English

Yikes - the mornings and evenings are getting colder 🥶 and you want to warm up with a hot pot 🍲, which naturally brings out the sake 😙. This is why this Sunday, Mr. Loman, who is new to drinking at home, ‼️Noby got it because it was delicious when he drank outside 🤗. I'll make love to you The aroma is fruity 😌. The aroma is fruity 😌 and when you take a sip, you'll be whispering 😙. It's beautiful and easy to drink, with a hint of sweetness and a clean and crisp taste, it's a good sake for a meal 😋. It went perfectly with the nabe (hot pot) we had that day👍. And here's the story of the second restaurant after Shinshin-san and I split up on Saturday! Kotori-san and I headed to the newly opened [Eki-naka Shokudo] in the souvenir store area at the west exit of Utsunomiya Station. In the meantime, Shinshin-san was heading to a class reunion in Moka by bus (🚌), and in the 40 minutes or so it took him to get there, he contributed 6 bottles he just drank 😳 He said he had to leave Tochigi because he couldn't register the restaurant 🥲, but that's the way it goes! You work fast👍 Meanwhile, our stomachs were growling 😐 We ordered a set of three different types of Tochigi sake 🍶 and a few snacks, and had a heated discussion about the venue for the upcoming Kenmin-kai and child-rearing 😌. Preparations for the women's meeting are steadily underway 🤗. I raised Fukushima sake but drinking out is Tochigi love 🥰.
