Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag? It is delicious, but maybe too elegant. It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

Japanese>English

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.

Japanese>English

This sake is limited to two liquor stores, one in Sakai and the other in Kishiwada. Only 12 bottles are in stock, so the next time I come back, there won't be any left, so I was allowed to try a special sample before purchasing. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a low alcohol content and is sweet with a gentle taste. It is low in alcohol, but you can feel the fullness of the flavor. It has no gaseous feeling, but it is fresh. It can be used by itself or with food. Shimada Special is delicious no matter what you drink.

This is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place. According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki. The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite. Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔. I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself?

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a very crisp, dry, deep-flavored Ajiginjo. The aroma is subtle. The mellowness is more apparent in junmai sake. This is also a good sake. I drank 8 glasses this time and they were all good! There are so many good sake that I can't keep up with them all! It's a happy scream!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Slightly pear-like aroma. It has a light shwashiness, and the sweetness is refreshing and light. Is it a summer sake? The umami is also crisp and clean. This is good!

Today we are in Hitachinokuni, right above Makabe. Smell is a little light. The taste is a little cemedine, soft but I think it is a little bit weak in taste. I can't feel many attacks. thanks Liquor Shop Kinase (Mito)

Japanese>English

@SAKE Street Rice used is Nihonbare There are still some good sake in Ibaraki that we don't know about yet. ❗️ It is mild on the palate, with an impressive soft sweetness. The umami has depth and strength. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also 👌. You can enjoy various expressions depending on the temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. ❣️

Japanese>English

Sake made by Murai Brewery in Makabe, Sakuragawa City, Ibaraki Prefecture! Easy to drink with a sweet and sour taste 😋. Delicious!

There are only two sake rice study groups left. I've been posting them chippy-chippy, so my notes and my memory are no longer connected. But there is no doubt that they were delicious. The ninth bottle was Kami no Ho from Mie Prefecture. The first bottle was a Saku no Kami no Hoho, which got me hooked on sake rice, but it tasted completely different. The aroma is banana, I guess. It has a slightly sweet taste with a refreshing dryness from the microbubbles. It goes on and on... a never-ending type of sake. The next post should be the last in this study of sake rice.

Special Junmai Nigori Nama-zake🍶Kami-no-ho🌾 from Mie Prefecture. Seme smell, fresh✨, a little schwag. Sour and spicy. Mustardy 🙄 according to my wife. When paired with the koji-marinated squid (🦑), it takes the edge off and cozies up to you. The power of koji is amazing 😆. Looks like a new brand to be born in spring 2023. Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230503

☆☆☆☆☆ It has sourness and a little bit of miscellaneous taste or bitterness, then comes the sweetness or umami of nigori. It has a bitter, youthful taste that goes well with spring wild vegetables. The sweetness that comes afterwards is also youthful.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima This is a light flavor. It has a moderate alcohol content, a slight sweetness, and a crisp finish. It was a good food sake that can be drunk without hesitation. ❣️

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be pressed on the morning of Risshun 🍶. The aroma on the nose is fruity🍍 and sweet. When you take it into your mouth, it has a deep, mild sweetness and umami that is typical for a draft sake, and it finishes with a slight astringent taste. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I was aware that it was originally intended to be a classic sake, but as I expected from a sake pressed in the morning of Risshun, it was a fresh, elegant, and sweet sake with a great aroma. I was very satisfied with the sake, which tasted even better than I had imagined.

Weekend drinking out with work friends in Tokyo. At the first place, it was wine from beer. Sake at the second one... more details 😆. A bit dry... I don't remember the wooden barrel feeling that I was so excited about 🙏. The first sip was very quick and easy to drink 😅

Japanese>English

Sometimes I drink out! I forgot to take a picture of the back label. The rice is called Akebono. It has been a long time since I have had it. Overall, it's clean, with a soft flavor. It smelled great, and it was a delicious drink! You can buy a quadruple bottle for less than 1,000 yen, so the cost is good ✨

The other day at work, we were wondering if we should go out to eat eel... 💦(´××`)𓂃🌀 so We went to Mishima, Shizuoka 🤣. to Mishima, Shizuoka 💦. I found this kind of sake there, so please say hi!

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

How I fell in love with sake.

A glass in Koriyama. The best sake, with an aroma so gorgeous and flavorful that it seems like wine.
