I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

I went to the supermarket because I wanted a drink for the evening to drink while watching the opening game of the Premier League. I bought a bottle of Kihei's Omachi, a sake made by the Shizuoka brewery, expecting to like it as much as I liked the gorgeous Omachi. It was not what I had imagined, it was more like a classic Shizuoka sake. It is very light and dry.

This year, the rice used for the sake has been replaced by 2038 Honorific Fuji, and the label has been redesigned. When you drink it, there is a distinct sweetness at first, but the bitterness comes later and disappears. It has a sweet taste, but it is dry. Since it is dry with a clean aftertaste, it went well with Hamamatsu dumplings (🥟). I think I like this kind of sake lately. By the way, recently chilled dumplings are easy to cook and delicious. They are surprisingly inexpensive.

Nagano Prefecture Junmai Sake Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15%. Rice 100% Nagano rice In the mouth, it has a relatively strong bitterness and rice flavor. It has a slight malted rice aftertaste. The alcohol taste is not so strong and goes well with dark foods such as pickles.

Memories of Nikko Trip. Katayama Sake Brewery A small, family-run sake brewery founded in 1871. The brewery is known as a "craftsman brewery" that insists on traditional handcrafting and long-term low-temperature fermentation, The brewery is known as a "craftsman brewery" that insists on traditional handmade sake and long-term low-temperature fermentation. As the name implies, the brewery's sake is "true face," filled with Nikko's mountain water and craftsmanship. It is a rewarding sake with no harsh taste, a strong umami flavor, and a good sharpness.

The last stop on our Nikko train trip was the real face of Katayama Sake Brewery. We visited the brewery and had a tour. It is a small brewery and the cold brewing process is about to begin. The brewer who guided us around the brewery told us that the sake is carefully brewed using the Sase method. The fourth photo shows the sake being squeezed in the vat. The alcohol content is 19%, so the sake has a certain weight, but I did not feel much alcohol. The Junmai is sitting in the fridge, so I am looking forward to that as well 😊. Rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: 65% Sake degree: +1 to +3 Acidity: - Amino acids: - Alcohol level: 19

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

At a soba noodle restaurant, my husband had a little share of the drink.â Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15 Classic taste of rice flavor. It has a twangy feeling, but when drunk with chicken tempura, it tastes just right and is delicious ♡♡♡♡♡♡. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are paintings that are OK to photograph ✨.

Rice used is unknown It is a unique sake. The palate has a moderate sweetness, but not so much that it can be described as dry. The umami spreads slowly, The acidity is very effective and tight. It is not peculiar, but it is a type that cannot be tasted anywhere else. I like this balance and sense of taste. Interesting sake, I found it: ❣️

This is also our first time to visit this brewery. I'm glad to see that they have a lot of unpasteurized sake. I completely forgot about the bad things at work and went into drinking mode. Just like the label on the back, this sake has a lot of flavor, but it's not heavy. Even though it was nigori, it didn't feel sloppy. It was an easy to drink sake.

This Sake has a full mouth feel with a strong flavor of cedar and apple. It is also dry with a lingering finish. This is a great with strong flavored foods like kakuni.

25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2nd half) ⑫ Seven Steps Snake booth. A very crisp and cheerful brewer was on hand to serve us. ◉Junmai Unfiltered Hanayuki Ageha Sparkling The sake is made by putting the unrefined sake and the sake mother back into the fire-aged sake and then second fermentation in the bottle. It has a shwashy, koji-derived flavor. This sake is exclusively for local onsen ryokan. ◉New Shiboritate Nama Aki-agari Sold out and no delivery available, tasting only. This is a fresh, normal sake, stored in ice temperatures. The taste is astonishingly good. It has a very strong umami and a mild sweetness from a mature taste. The female brewer who served us said that she planned to make this sake, so she was a genius! I praised it to her. She said that seasonal sake is not stable, so she did not know if it would be available next year. ◉七歩歩蛇 Unfiltered Nama Ginjō Junmai Ginjō The new sake has been in production since August, and this is the first pressing. It is fresh, sweet and sharp. Not too spicy. ◉Hanayuki Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo Junmai-Ginjo Juicy, sweet and delicious. This is also a very favorite of mine. ◉ Junmai Ginjo Shino Litchi Another second fermentation in the bottle. Alcohol content of 12%. It has a sweet, shwashy taste with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. The brand is divided into two brands: Nanahohe is drier and Hanayuki is sweeter. This is the second time for me to drink it, so I went home quickly.
