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😇

The aroma is subdued and calm, the acidity is a little strong from the first impression of rice flavor, and the second half is well-balanced and refreshing, and the aftertaste is also relatively refreshing.

#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 😭.

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 😅.

Next, we open a bottle of "Izutsucho"! When the bottle is opened, there is not much of an aroma, but there is a coffee-like aroma, such as café au lait, that can be detected. The palate is light, but the taste is milky and milky. There is also a bitter and astringent taste, which gives the sensation of drinking a green tea latte 🍵. THE caffeinated beverage! This is so addictive👍

Japanese>English

Today is Izutsucho. Nagano was given to me as a mid-year gift from someone in Saku ✨. I wonder what it smells like, fruity aroma -> sharpness -> soft sweetness -> alcohol bitterness -> full lingering taste. Delicious. Made in March 2012, shipped in June 2013, it takes a long time. According to the official description, "This is our brewery's best sake, carefully polished with Miyamanishiki and Kinmonnishiki rice produced in Nagano Prefecture and brewed slowly during the harsh winter season, based on the concept of a Daiginjo that is unique to Nagano without relying on high-grade sake rice produced in other prefectures. It is a daiginjo that is not flashy, but has a pleasant ginkoku (gin aroma) and a refined, full-bodied sweetness." Thank you very much for your kindness!

Japanese>English

On a trip to Nagano, I compared six different kinds of sake at a place on the Nakamise street of Zenkoji temple. The aroma is mellow and the taste is robust.

Risshun Morning Squeeze Series 🌅. I've already had this one lol My only daughter was so impressed last year that she missed the pre-order deadline and went to buy some but it's not there anymore: ‼️ This year I was able to buy it in the Ibaraki set✨

Japanese>English

Suginami Ward is offering a special campaign until tomorrow. We have taken advantage of it. To be honest, I chose this sake to paint the map. Today it was Temakizushi. It is a good sake to go with seafood. It is refreshing and easy to drink.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is 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 doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

You can drink it smoothly!

Full-bodied aroma and fresh acidity. Old-fashioned sake with fullness.

Kokushu fair 2025 in Osaka⑳⑳ Ibaraki Prefecture booth 10 When we say "Shirakiku" in Kansai, the image of Shirakiku Brewery of Daisen Shirakiku comes to mind, but Hirose Shoten in Ishioka City has been using the brand name of Shirakiku since 1805 when the company was founded. ◉Shirakiku Junmai Ginjo The taste is mild and mellow, with a dark sweetness. It has a complex aftertaste. According to bouken's information, it is made from rice Inochinoichi, which is a mutation of Koshihikari. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from bouken-san.

National Sake Fair 2025⑳⑳ Ibaraki Pref. Hirose Shoten in Ishioka city. Shirakiku is drinking the expensive Jun Dai draft sake that you buy at the corner shop of Mystery Cheeya earlier this year. Polishing ratio 60%, Inochinoichi 15-16%, Sake degree -6 1925 yen I've never heard of Inochi no Ichi before 😳. It is sweet, refreshing and delicious! Shirakiku, I'd like to try many other specs, but I'll have to pouch this one to get it too...

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.

Light mouthfeel, umami afterwards.
