This is the first jacket I've ever seen with shurikens 💠. It's so sharp, it's called "super dry"! I thought it would be pretty grueling, but it was 20 degrees alcohol😇.

Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake🍶Yume no Kaori🌾. My wife's Fukushima Onsen souvenir ♨️ Thank you for selecting a sake that I don't think I've ever had ☺️ Aroma fruity. Melon from melon🍈 gentle taste☺️. It's like a Fukushima sake. Sweet, delicious, and spicy. Versatile 💯. Souvenir sake @ home drinking 20230603

Japanese>English

☀️ Soft sweetness like pear 🍐. I think it's similar to the same Fukushima's Yama-no-i 🤔. It has a clean throat and watery sensation. If you look closely, it was alcohol added 😳. I felt that the sake brewing technique is very advanced with a finish that does not feel like alcohol 😊.

Japanese>English

It is made with "Gohyakumangoku" and is dry and refreshing. Can be served at room temperature.

Two years ago 🚗 I visited Minami Haga, a roadside station near a sake brewery, and checked in 😅I bought a mini bottle of Banshu Ichiken and a bottle of Old Pine Sake Brewery's Sansho as a souvenir. Sanyo Bai Sake Brewery and Old Pine Sake Brewery are almost across the street from each other, about a minute walk away, so I recommend you visit both of them 😊. The Sansho is a regional brand 😃👆👆 Like the Banshu Ikken, the Sansho Junmai Ginjo is also made with Hyogo Yume Nishiki sake rice. Maybe it would have been better to warm it up 🧐. Label: 🏷️ Difficulty: low 😍 Soaking in hot water made it easy to peel off. Place to buy 🍶:Roadside Station Minami Haga

The top of the tree. Sourness and sweetness, both present. It leaves an aftertaste, but it is not unpleasant. It was good, moderately rich. What is kijoshu? I searched for it and found out that it is made with sake, not water. I had no idea.

Souvenirs from a trip to see the autumn leaves at Momijiyama in Yamazaki, Shiso City. Currently, there are two remaining sake breweries in the city, Sanyo Sake Brewery and Old Pine Brewery, but until 40 years ago, there was another brewery, Honke Monzenya, which brewed and sold a type of sake called sansho (three laughs). The building of the Honke Monzenya still remains, but in order to make the most of the historical landscape where sake breweries line up from Sanyo Bai to Laematsu and Honke Monzenya, The Yamazaki Central City Area Revitalization Committee (Good Town Project) was formed, and over a period of two years, "Sansho" was revived! There is a café called "Sansho" on the former site. Let's start with the old pine tree.

There was one that caught my eye, so I had a glass. It was a good, refreshing sake, which I didn't think was a honjozo. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Ibigawa! We received this from kino.✨ Thank you kino. for everything 🙇‍♂️ First of all, cold sake! Sweet and delicious! Alcoholic taste like Honjozo! Then hot sake The alcoholic taste is mellowed. And the sweetness and umami are amplified. It's so good! ❣️ With yellowtail sashimi from Harunobu in Niigata! It went really well together 😋.

Japanese>English

I first found and purchased it at JR Nagoya Takashimaya. I guess they started to carry Ibigawa, although Imi is not available. This sake has the umami of rice, but it is light and refreshing, and does not interfere with meals in a calm manner. It is delicious. 😋😋😋😋

It is Niigata but of the umami-kuchi type. Can be served warmed.

Japanese>English

I bought this on a trip to Niigata. It has a strong flavor, but it's refreshing and the sweetness doesn't linger.

Japanese>English

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 😭.

Japanese>English

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 😅.

Matsue Izumo Trip The second cup of sake at the third restaurant "Shunsaitei Raijin" 😁 Memorandum The red bottle was recommended as a souvenir at the first restaurant and here as well, and only the 4-goupe bottle comes in a red bottle. I couldn't buy it because I couldn't stop by the liquor store that sold it 🤣 but I thought it would be a good souvenir if they sold it 😋. The fourth one is the potato salad that my wife was raving about: ☺️

This will be 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 you don't feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.
