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.

All of them are Junmai (pure rice) made by Ozaki Shuzo. They were all dry, but I think I like the Pacific the best.

It is a Honored Ikegetsu Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40 Nao-kumi Nakadori Mukuratori Mafiltered Nama Genshu. It is my first time to try this brewery, but the owner recommended it to me. It is sweet, umami and sour, and I felt it was a little thick. It is a delicious sake.

I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁‍♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Japanese>English

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.

2021/09/11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opened the bottle carefully with a little bit of crown. As soon as you open it, you can smell the fresh aroma of lactic acid. A gentle refreshing sweetness and then a dry feeling comes. It is a type of beer that can be drunk crisply until the end. Thanks to the low alcohol and strong carbonation It's so refreshing that I couldn't stop sipping it.

Japanese>English

Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi? It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.

Japanese>English

Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake. It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator. It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way). At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor. The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake. Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.

ᐠ( ᐢᐢ )ᐟ🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Tenjo Yumegen today 😋. Can't really detect the aroma after opening the bottle 🤔. When I drink it, I can feel the smooth mouthfeel😊Gentle umami of rice🌾😘The acidity and umami in the aftertaste are well balanced and soft 😚. I felt it was the best sake for a meal 🥳.

A reminder of 8/7 🍶. Drop in for a drink at work - ⤴️✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Shishimai Fuunroku Part 3 The next point of rest and ga-in is Tenjo Yumegen This label commemorates the 100th anniversary of Maruka Kensetsu, located in the same area as Nakayu Sake Brewery. The contents are probably the same as the regular Tokujun, but it is only at local festivals that this kind of sake is served as a sacred sake. However, I am not sure if this label is "Yamato" or "Taiwa". It has been a long time since I have tasted Tenjo Mugen, and while it has a dry base, it is slightly sweet, has a strong umami flavor, and has a nice acidity and bitterness. Once again, I realize that it is a local sake. Thank you very much!

Store Drinking. HITOGOKICHIKI 100% The color is clear or slightly amber. The aroma is that of rice. When you sip it, you will taste the flavor of rice. It has a dry ALC feel. There is no fruity sweetness, and the taste is stoic. The rice sweetness remains until the end, with a rounded aftertaste. It has the impression of a Junmai Doshin🎯 royal road.

😁 Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 15 I drank the sake I missed yesterday today. I went to Ueda, so I bought a bottle of Wada Ryutonomizu. It was a delicious hiyaoroshi with a good taste of rice. None of the people I drank with today knew about it. I thought it was pretty famous in my opinion, but... Is that so?

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

The second sake is from Japan's northernmost sake brewery, Kunimei! It's sake from Hokkaido - how could it not go well with crab! I thought. We had it with grilled crab meat in the shell as a side dish. Without a doubt, it was the perfect sake for crabs and seafood.
