Sasasande - I'm still in the sasandei. A trophy of the Niigata expedition. Surprisingly, it tastes like a summer sake with a strong acidity. It is said to be made from 100% Kame-no-o with a 65% rice polishing ratio. I wonder if anyone can guess the type of rice by the masking. Someday I would like to say, "Oh, this is Omachi"...

Purchased at Ponshukan. It has a cute design that does not look like a cup of sake. The sake is brewed with four varieties of rice produced by four farmers in the Nishigama district, located in the far west of Niigata Prefecture. So that's what the grains of rice on the label mean. That makes sense. The sake was served cold in the cold sake corner at the store, so I chilled it well at home. It has a well-balanced taste, not too sweet or dry. It is easy to drink and delicious. Niigata's cup sake has a huge variety and high quality.

Rice used is Gohyakumangoku The acidity is effective, and the umami flavor is penetrating. It has been a long time since this sake had the impact of a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast.

Sake from the Takeshita Brewery, birthplace of former Prime Minister Takeshita. Gorgeous aroma, The fruity flavor is just as the label says. The sweetness is reminiscent of pineapple, The sweetness reminds one of pineapple, and gradually the bitterness appears and disappears. It is easy to drink and goes down smoothly, I thought it was a sake to be enjoyed on its own rather than paired with something else. I thought it was a sake to be enjoyed by itself rather than to be paired with something else.

We are invited to the head office to have a good drink after a not-so-fun work day. The head office is far away and uncomfortable, so we are bersassa. The specs are the same. We compared the different yeasts. I didn't know yeast could make such a difference. It is easier to tell the difference than the rice. There are different tastes. The No. 9 is very clear and has little assertiveness. No. 18 has a more gorgeous aroma and taste. Olizeh is amazing! The story on the back label is interesting wish.

1100 I bought a two-part bottle to try. I couldn't wait until the evening and drank it during the day. It has a strong spiciness with a hint of sweetness from the rice. I thought it was slightly sweet, but it was very spicy for a sake with a sake strength of +1! I should have had a glass with snacks while watching the moon.

On a road trip to Shinshu, we stopped by Houraisen Ginjo Kobo on the way and bought 180ml. As expected, I couldn't buy the 720ml because it is by reservation only 😭. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Sora It has a fruity and elegant aroma You can taste the elegant sweetness and acidity And it has a nice sharpness It is a beautiful sake. Delicious!

At New Stand Asahi in the Fushimi underground shopping mall in Nagoya. It is said to be quite rare, but even with that caveat, it was quite tasty. The snacks were takobutsu, kanpachi, and sakatobori.

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

Not flashy, discreet acidity. Like a Shine Muscat. The sweet and sourness stands out on the palate. The spread of the woody and umami flavors combine with the sweetness. The bitter alcohol taste leaves a little bit of a lingering aftertaste, and the short finish leaves you with a sense of satisfaction.

O(^o^)o Sem Sem Sem Sem Sem Sem It is the second day of the cup life. Today is Ichinoya in Fukui Prefecture. I've had Akatsuki and Tsukishibijin before, but today I'm drinking a cup of Kamisen. Room temperature on a hot day. It was delicious 😀.

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we got a bottle of Ichinotani, a sake from our neighbor Fukui Prefecture 😀. I bought it because of the old-fashioned, hard-core label 😚The specs are also very Chinese, 35% Yamadanishiki daiginjo😤, but the price is reasonable💰They really only have one bottle, but it seems that only the store of one of their customers has a 4-goupe bottle 👍. The aroma is mild and ginjo like 🍑😊Clear sweetness and refreshing acidity🥰The aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly😍✨It's a beautiful sake that goes down smoothly🥳It's a delicious sake😆👍✨

(*^▽^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I had my first sake from Sado Island, Garakudai 😀 The aroma was mild. It's very refreshing and fresh, with a hint of rice flavor and a gentle acidity to finish it off 😙The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink 😎.

2021/05/03 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A refreshing muscat-like aroma. The sweetness is a bit heavy and the sourness is a bit strong. It's a little heavy on the sweetness and a little heavy on the sourness. The overall taste is clean and clear.

Farewell party connected by sake rice. From the Hokuriku Sake Rice Series and the Sake Kingdom of Niigata Prefecture, Koshitanrei and Tokimizu Meisui Tatomo Junmai Ginjo, a gem from GINigata. It may be light, but it is rather deep. It tends to be umami. As expected from Niigata. At Joetsu Takata Funakae
