The freshness of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake harmonizes with the rich umami flavor, expanding the depth of the taste!

Japanese>English

The first Okushika was made in H29BY. At room temperature, it has a mildly matured taste with a strong acidity. When heated, it has a mild burnt taste and a strong sharpness with acidity.

Japanese>English

The second sake is a sake that has been laid to rest for three years. Okushika. Oily food goes well with it, but it is also quite hard-boiled with a sense of danger at 18 degrees alcohol. It is delicious, though. It goes especially well with fried foods and strong meals. Try it with shimarakko tempura. Rice used: Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka⑤. The booth of "Kaze no Sato" in Ehime. After suffering tremendous damage from the torrential rains in western Japan in 2018, the brewery decided to revive itself with the support of local people, fellow members of the sake brewers association, and volunteers. The brewery has recovered through crowdfunding and other means, and this one is also not to be found in the Kansai region. Junmai ◉ Junmai The aroma is a bit peculiar. It may be an off-flavor. The flavor is firm and a bit nutty. They say it is recommended to be heated. Junmai Ginjo Not too much sweetness and umami, but a mild acidity. Junmai Daiginjo Uzu The aroma is a little subdued, and the sweetness and umami are refreshing, the type of sake that goes well with river fish. Junmai Ginjo-shu Sakurahime A junmai ginjo-shu brewed with Sakurahime yeast. It has a clear, sweet and umami taste with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. When I told him that Sakurahime yeast is not cherry blossom, he said yes, it is a flower called delphinium. The Ehime booth was set up by the sake brewers' association, and everyone was wearing the same shirt, light pink vest and pants, which bouken-san said looked like Junrei.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food from Shikoku - (5) Ehime Prefecture from here Sake brewery severely damaged by torrential rain in western Japan. They have made a comeback thanks to crowdfunding and support from many people! There are no distributors in Kansai, but there are some restaurants that deal directly with the brewery. We drank Kaze no Sato Junmai-shu Matsuyama Mitsui Polishing ratio 60%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +7 I thought it would be a classic type of sake, but it's quite modern. Rice flavor and a bit of fruitiness. The taste itself is nice, but there is something strange about it... Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, EK-3 yeast, Sake meter value +6 A juicy sake with a firm sweetness. A little pineapple 🍍. The most delicious 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Usu Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +8 It was refreshing and gorgeous, but delicious! It had a berry-like flavor. All of the breweries here have high sake strength, but it didn't feel too spicy. Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sakura hime Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake strength -4 Sakura hime yeast "Type2 Clear" is used. Slightly floral. Refreshing sweetness.

☀️ This is the first brand of sake from Ehime. There are glimpses of rice floating around 🌾. The ori is sturdy and doesn't seem to dissolve fully🤔. There is no sweetness and the rice flavor is more pronounced 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾. In addition to the nigori, the rice is dissolved to the point of being sludgy, but thanks to the microcarbonation, it passes down the throat better🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧. I took the opportunity to order a gibier that I don't usually eat called "ginger roasted wild boar🐗" and got the most delicious meat🥩 with a mix of the sweetness of the ginger, the flavor of the rice and the bitter after taste😋.

Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

Japanese>English

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

Japanese>English

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

Same place, same time. Just like always. I had a delicious meal...

Whale wave is next. I thought it was your first time in Gifu Prefecture and you got one 😊. The aroma is fresh and fruity by nature, with a slight hint of hineyness, perhaps because the bottle was opened 3 months later. Well-balanced fruity. Almost no acidity. A full-bodied flavor softly appears at the end of the bottle. Although it is a draft sake, it is quite soft and mild. Maybe soft water? 🤔 It is best served cold or chilled. It seems to be difficult to age.

At Yakitori and Chicken Cuisine Izakaya Sabito in Saga. The taste is sweet and sour, with a dry aftertaste and a strong alcohol taste that chills the upper jaw. The aftertaste is dry, with a strong alcohol sensation that tingles in the upper jaw. It can be drunk rather easily.

Japanese>English

A bottle purchased on a trip to Saga Aroma like old sake, like rice bran - then mineral aroma Soft sweetness without acidity and a round mouthfeel. A hint of vanilla in the nose I think this would be even better if it were heated up. But even though it's air-conditioned, it's still hot in the middle of summer. The website says "lukewarm or hot heating is recommended"! I had no choice but to drink it. ❗️ I drink it with a sake cup that my eldest son gave me! Sake temperature: 45 degrees. The fermentation smell is gone and the aroma is not strong. In the mouth, the soft sweetness is still there, but the thickness has increased and there is not much acidity. The sweetness slowly lingers on the tongue. This is delicious. ❗️ I want to drink it slowly without snacks on a long autumn night!

Japanese>English

Souvenirs from Saga 🤗No.1 The top aroma is like red miso or buckwheat flower honey, the type I haven't tasted recently. 〰︎ As the temperature loosens up, it has a fruity bitter chocolate flavor with a strong acidity 😚 I thought I remember smelling that aroma of BASE BREAD chocolate somewhere 😚 It seems to be a slightly classical rich dry type, but it had an interesting flavor........ I almost ate too much of it because the oily fried squid geso tasted strangely delicious 😅. Thanks for the food!

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.

When I was in college, a sake-loving professor recommended this bottle to me. It is dry and has a rich taste. I really like the kick that a dry sake gives when it goes down your throat... ⌯́́⌯̀⌯́⌯̀⌯₎. It's been a while since I've had it 🥰. I guess I like dry sake after all.

Japanese>English

I bought this sake when I was in Kurashiki. I was surprised at how smooth and smooth it tastes... I was also surprised at the dry but full-bodied taste. I was not a fan of Aragashiri, but I found it to be a delicious sake!

Gentle to drink Low sweetness The taste is crisp and clear It is also very strong in the throat And it goes down the nose I think it is good as a food sake Naturally, it is completely different from Sanyo Sakebai's Sansho. (Naturally...) Both are delicious 😋. But I prefer Old Matsu's sake 😋.

Japanese>English

The mouthfeel is light and smooth. And gentle sweetness and umami It goes down the throat and through the nose at the same time. The taste is refreshing and clean. It seems to go well with Japanese food. It's quite good. It was purchased at a brewery located near (about 30 meters?) from Sanyo Sakebai of Banshu Issen. Banshu Ikkyo Sanyo Sake Brewery is located near the Sanyo Sake Brewery. Brewed with distilled water from the Ibo River. This is the first time I've tasted distilled water instead of spring water or well water! A card explaining each sake? They gave us a card explaining each sake.

It was said on the SNS of the sake shop that it was a new arrival, but it was made in April of last year, so maybe it was aged in the warehouse? The aroma is light and ripe. The sweetness is fruity and the umami is firm and delicious.
