When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

It has a very smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing sweetness, and comes in like delicious water. The delicious taste of rice spreads in the mouth, and a refreshing aroma escapes from the nose. Just the right amount of dryness You can enjoy the change of taste in your mouth.

Rikyubai Summer Ginjo Junmai Ginjo Namaishu I think it was light and refreshing, just like summer sake. Yes, it's almost time to forget about it.

At home. Sake tasting party with friends after a long time. We brought our own sake. First up was a local sake from Echigo-Yuzawa, a gem bearing the name of the first head of the Shirataki Sake Brewery. The aroma is gorgeous, and in the mouth you can taste the acidity and umami, with a slight lingering alcohol taste. It leaves a slightly bitter or rough feeling in the back of the throat. The Shirotaki Shuzo is known for its Kouzen Nyosui, which has a fuller aroma and taste compared to the Kouzen Nyosui. The bottle was also unusual, with an innovative volume of 630 ml. This is the first brand I've seen and the taste is great. ‼️

Shirotaki sake from Echigo-Yuzawa's "Shirotaki" and "Kamizen Josui" breweries. Minatoya Tousuke is the name of the founder. It has been quite a while. Junmai Daiginjo with 50% polishing. It has a peachy, elegant aroma and a smooth mouthfeel👍.

Rice used is unknown There is a bunch! It has a very "Yamahaku" feeling. The sense of maturity is also there. The taste is dry, but the sweetness is spreading on the tongue. The sharpness is not bad either. As the temperature rises, it becomes milder. This type of sake tastes better when it is not too cold.

Japanese>English

It has a flavor suitable for lukewarm heating. It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai-shu! It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai Sake! I can't tell the difference! ✩3.5

It has a clear, mellow, and smooth taste reminiscent of 🍎. When chilled, it has a refreshing acidity, and at room temperature it is a deliciously sweet 🍎 taste. It has a refined taste that sinks in easily.

This is my first time at this brewery. I would like to know how many sake named Masamune there are. It is delicious with a strong sake flavor. The label looks like a dairy.

Sake from a brewery famous for Ryujinmaru. It has been a very long time since Kirakuri. After Shikishima, tkmts-san was drinking Ryujinmaru, and I wanted to try something of Takagaki-san's sake, so I chose Kirakuri. This time it was an unfiltered raw Nakadori. It has a caramelized taste with sweetness and a sense of maturity. It's just a coincidence that there is a succession of sakes with a sense of maturity, such as Washin, Shikishima, and Kirakuri.

The rich flavor gives the impression of being suited for a mealtime sake.

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

Mowing on this day The fairways were wide on the OUT course, and we were told that it was a course in the northern part of Japan. All three of us were able to shoot good scores and everyone was happy! Then let's have a good drink! Two of us had never had a drink before. It's a bit expensive and you don't often come across this kind of sake. The three of us shared a half-bottle of sake and tasted it. The sake has a characteristic acidity because it is a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. But why is it so beautifully finished?

Yamatsuru is the closest sake brewery to my house, but I haven't had much of it lately. The last time I drank it I got the impression that it was peculiar and not really my cup of tea, but not this Junmai Daiginjo! Clear and fruity, good balance of flavors. It's also gorgeous😋. The price is reasonable for a Junmai Daiginjo, but I think it's worth it🧐 I can't underestimate local sake 😚

Japanese>English

Low-polished Junmai-shu from Yamatsuru, a local sake brewery in Ikoma, Nara. The name is Choyao. It was a gift, but it looks like it will cost a fortune💧. I heard it was brewed using a method described in a wooden letter from the Nara period. I wonder if it is true. Anyway, let's try it. Wow! It is indeed as rich and sweet as I had heard! The sake level is a whopping -40❗️ But the aftertaste is refreshing. Surprisingly easy to drink and delicious 😋. It's pretty good 👍I'll have to try this one too 😙. But I wonder if people in the Nara period really enjoyed this kind of sake 🤔.

The sake is brewed by "Toroki Shouten", a sake brewer who was involved in growing the rice and brewing it together with Wakatakeya Sake Brewery. I got it as a sign of support 😊 Is it what's called a light, dry taste? It had a faintly sweet aroma, but the sip was refreshingly watery! The flavor and bitterness come out on the palate. I was drinking it with cream cheese as an entrée, but it doesn't get in the way, so it's probably just right for a mid-meal drink 😊.

Japanese>English

Wakatakeya Junmai Hiyadoroshi Tanushimaru-cho, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture Sake rice: Yume Ikkyo The aroma is full of alcohol. The taste of rice is directly conveyed in the mouth. The alcohol also comes on strong. Room temperature.

Japanese>English

A big hit. The aroma is very strong with a hint of sake. The aroma is a strong sake-like flavor, but the melon flavor is not as sweet and refreshing as one would expect from a sake with a strong sake flavor. The aftertaste was a strong sense of rice flavor. It was delicious.
