Bought at a Lawson. with grilled shrimp from Omichi market. Light and bland.

Order from the top of the sake menu It was a good decision to order first! It's so refreshing and easy to drink! The name of this sake has a certain charm to it!

I had checked to buy it during my trip to Kanazawa, but when I went to the store, I couldn't find it, so I ended up buying it online. At 9% alcohol by volume, it is light as a food sake, so it goes very well with sake. However, when I want to drink sake, it is not enough. However, it is delicious. It is good for those who don't like sake.

Like Minatoya Toisuke, this is another brand of Murasuke that I bought because I liked it after tasting it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. There are many liquor stores that sell Murasuke in Tokyo, but I had never seen this brand before. As its name suggests, it's low in alcohol content at 13%, so it's easy to drink 😚. When you drink it cold, it's light and refreshing, with no hint of bitterness. It's delicious in its own right, but when it's chilled at a cooler temperature, it becomes sweeter and more impressive. I liked it best when it was chilled in the wine cellar at about 15 degrees Celsius 😄. It's interesting to see how it changes with the temperature, but in any case, it's a different direction from the sweet and sour fruity Murasuke. I think it's a fine sake that won't go with any snacks 😋

This is a sake from the Murayu brewery👍. The acidity is very attractive.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

Japanese>English

☀️ From the clean rice🌾 flavor, there is a sweetness in the mouth 😊. The taste is very transparent, but with a hint of sweetness in addition to the umami, it doesn't feel like it's pushed away. It has a likable finish 🤗.

The second drink at Marukoma was my first "Koshu". It is light and crisp with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The second sake was "Koshu", which is also from Niigata but has a different flavor from the "Hokusetsu" that we drank for the first sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

This Sake is light and not too sweet. There are herbal flavor notes like licorice and mint. The finish is clean with a light mineral aftertaste. I am told this is a limited, seasonal Sake.

. Sake rice: Niigata-grown Senjyuraku Polishing ratio: 55 Sake degree: +4 Acidity: 1.1 Sake made by Asahi Shuzo, the brewer of Kubota At "Honokuni" in the main station of Toyohashi Fruity, no sourness or bitterness at all. Flavor is clean and quite weak! ☆ 3.5

Not grilled oysters, but raw oysters. A light sake with a strong acidity. I think it goes well with fish in general. It removes the fishy smell of fish, but it's still refreshing, so it's perfect as a mealtime drink. It also goes well with oily food.

Next to Kaiharu, your first Horaizuru Have you ever had this? I thought it was Houraizumi at first 😅. At first I thought it was Houraizumi😅 It seems to be brewed in the basement of an apartment building in Hiroshima city. It's like Nippon Izumi from Gifu. This one was purchased at Yamada Sake Brewery in Edion, Hiroshima. Sake Sho Yamada seems to have a lot of famous brands on display, but this store also seems to have a local sake corner! The liquor department at EDION Namba is also owned by Yamada Sake Brewery, but it's bigger than the one in front of Osaka Sake Brewery. Maybe because of the upcoming Expo 🤔. There are breweries that brew in apartments, like Kamizo and Yuki no Bijin, but they are not underground. Are there other underground breweries? The aroma is promising, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. But when you drink it, it has no taste. Thin...

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

Rooster Yoemon from Kawamura Sake Brewery in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture. This sake is famous for its sour taste, which is rare in Iwate Prefecture. I drank it for the first time at a store in Hanamaki and was surprised by the sourness. It seemed to be quite a challenge since Iwate is generally known for its sweet and tasty sake. Even so, I heard that the owner stubbornly continued to make sour sake. (^○^) Nowadays, with the Shinsai boom, Yoemon's sour sake is also selling well, especially outside of the prefecture. This sake itself is light and refreshing. It has a mild taste that does not interfere with meals. It was very tasty. ( ´ ▽ ` ) No

Japanese>English

Kikuhime, a famous sake from Ishikawa As the name suggests, it has a light mouthfeel and is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

The taste is classic. It is the opposite of fruity, with a caramelized flavor, not dry, and light, or rather light for a Kikuhime. I bought it for heating sake, but it is recommended to be served cold. The quirky naming may indicate that it can be poured from a bottle that has been left at room temperature and immediately tastes great. I would like to give it the title of sake suitable for drinking from "Asahi Beer Cups" in a sense of praise. Degree of buying again 5/10 （I bought a bottle of Kikuhime Tsurunori Nama-version at Tricolor Kobe in Motomachi, Kobe two months ago, and since there were still many bottles left in the showcase, I rescued two bottles that just barely fit in our cellar. I wonder if the store made a mistake in the number of bottles they purchased.

Sake drinking party with company people 🍶 Soba noodle shop? I brought my own sake to the restaurant. We also deposited Yuma, a souvenir from Fukuoka. I'll leave the evaluation to the Kyushu people, but all the participants were oohing and ahhing. Where can I buy it?" I was asked where I got the information, but I kept my mouth shut about Sake-no-wa.

Japanese>English

Tonight, in our first series, we have Yuma, brewed by Shichiyou Shuzo from Fukuoka Prefecture✨. The specs are: 100% Yamadanishiki, 60% polished rice, 13% alcohol. The sake is light cloudy and a bit thick. The aroma and taste is easy to drink with sweetness and sourness of white peach🍑😋😋😋 with a clean aftertaste, this is going to be very popular🤗.

Japanese>English

The last bottle of this month was a bottle of Yuma bought in Hakata 😃. I bought it without any information, so I had a classic image of it, but it was smooth and refreshingly modern 🤤. It's as if it's a soothing water itself, and although you can taste the bitterness of the umami and sourness finish, it all flows nicely and without a hitch.... This is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 😅
