This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Rice is grown in rice paddies that maintain the environment in which yago (Japanese bitterling) grows How can it not be delicious? I can't get enough of the shwashiness, which is different from that of raw sake (≧∇≦)! Thank you so much for the food. m(_ _)m

It was a sweaty day as I went to line up in Ginza in the morning to buy a bottle of wine. The bottle said it was 18 degrees, so I enjoyed it slowly on the rocks. I served it with edamame (soybeans), leatherfish, sweet shrimp, and surume tempura. It was very tasty as a food sake.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 4th glass! Koshino-Hachiho Junmai Sake This is also a brand new to me! It is a light and dry sake with the main flavor of rice. It is a typical food sake that does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Japanese>English

I can't smell the ginjo aroma because my nose is dead. It's so sad. I think I can somehow sense the gorgeousness of the aroma. I also feel sweetness, I think I like this one the best in the comparison. It goes down my throat so smoothly that I can't help smiling.

The rice used is Hitogochiki from Nagano Prefecture. Refreshing and crisp aftertaste, just like a summer sake. The sweetness is moderate, but the umami is also present in its own way. It is a sake that needs to be cooled down to the perfect temperature.

Japanese>English

The freshness of the raw materials mellows out the richness of the flavor...!

Japanese>English

Today is my day off, so I took a walk around Sunpu Castle, Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine, and Nihon Taira! I've always wanted to visit Kunouzan and Nihondaira, but the view of the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Fuji from Nihondaira is fantastic👍. On the way home, I took a sip. When I opened the bottle, it had a melon-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but the melon-like sweet and astringent taste comes through in a jiffy, giving it a gorgeous flavor. However, the assertion itself gradually settles down and changes to a spiciness, so it is not too heavy for a nama-zake and is easy to drink! Tomorrow is the second half of Shizuoka life. I'll do my best!

It's been a while since I bought sake at the Aomori Iwate Antenna Shop. It says it's nigori sake, but it's not cloudy at all😅. It's very clear and quite crisp. I got the impression that it's a pretty dry sake, but there's also a little sweetness. I can see a little bit of off-flavor...

Japanese>English

It was introduced as having an aftertaste like garland chrysanthemum. I don't know about "garland chrysanthemum," but it is an easy-to-drink nigori sake. The bottle is cute.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is recommended for tuna dishes, so we paired it with tuna negima nabe. It is a rich, sweet-umami type of wine that is delicious on its own. Of course, it also goes well with tuna dishes 👌👌.

Tonight, we continue our series of firsts with this one, named after the female toji known for her work at Tomikunaga. This sake is brewed with Hachitanishiki and Yamadanishiki. The freshness is alive and well, and the melon aroma (typical of Yamada Nishiki) is faintly felt at first, but then the sharp dryness and acidity overflow into the pineapple aroma (So_1F34D) without the sweetness of Hachitan Nishiki and continue until the finish. It's very refreshing and easy to drink 😋.

Japanese>English

The freshness of the direct-drafted, unpasteurized sake and the gorgeous aroma and flavor of Yamada-Nishiki.

Japanese>English

It's a label buy! LOL! It had a nice aroma, just the right amount of acidity, and was easy to drink. A few days after opening the bottle, it was mellower and I personally prefer it to just after opening the bottle! I would buy it again if I come across it again!

This is the world's best regular sake from Yumeshin Shuzo. I had it at room temperature. It is a delicious sake that is full-bodied, deliciously sweet, with a touch of dryness in between 🎶.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had a Yumeshin: ❗️ While Naraman is fruity and gorgeous, this sake has a robust taste and a slightly unique aroma 🤔. I don't mind it with a meal. but with just this one, it's a bit hard to drink 😅.

Japanese>English

Purchased in a set sale with Tobiroki. Yumeshin? I thought, "I don't know this..." and then I found out that it is the brewery of Naraman. I was relieved and at the same time I was relieved, but at the same time I was relieved, but at the same time, I was reminded that preconceived notions are not good 😅. Fukushima's original yeast "Utsukushima Yume Yeast" is used. The brewery uses Fukushima's original yeast, "Utsukushima Yume Yeast". It was launched to the ISS last year and spent 37 days in a zero-gravity space. It was launched to the ISS last year and spent 37 days in a zero-gravity space. It has a light touch of sweetness, followed by a slightly dry taste. It is a bit dry after a light touch of sweetness, but it is rather fruity.... But it's a bit fruity.... But after drinking Takachiyo, which is +19 on the sake level, I realized that Yumeshin is not dry at all. I realized that Yumeshin is not dry at all 😂.

Today was the first time I had Urasato, which I learned about from your post on Sake-no-wa 😀. The aroma is mild and gentle ginjo 😊The aroma on the palate is like melon🍈🥰The beautiful sweetness lasts until the end 😋The slight bitterness in the aftertaste pulls the whole flavor together 😍 delicious💕. This is the first time I have had this sake and I found it to be very elegant 🥳I would like to try it again after a few days to see how it tastes 😚.

Japanese>English

Then, Urasato's Jungin ‼️ Last time I drank Jun-Dai and it was delicious, so I had high expectations 😋. The hyenas were using beer as a chaser, which seemed to slow them down, but this is where the true spirit of hyenas comes in 😱. I can't really tell the difference compared to the pure Dai 😅. Well, you can definitely gobble it up like water 😅

Japanese>English

Then we'll drink the well-reputed sake brew ‼️ We also tried heating it up👍 It seems to be a good match for cold to lukewarm 👍 I don't know if the hyenas taste good too, too fast pace 😱 well, they bought me sushi and stuff, so yeah 😆.
