Very ordinary cup of alcohol (´¦). You can taste a good sweetness with no added sugar. I'm happy with the taste, which is very typical for a cup of sake. It still tastes better when heated. It's not that unique, just a good cup! This is the kind of sake I like! This is the kind of sake I like! Mr. Mitamura went to Kiyotsuru! He was drinking old sake that you can't usually buy!

I bought a bottle of Ayagiku's raw sake because it seems to be rare. I bought it at Okura Sake Shop in front of Tamatsukuri Station. It is a new store opened this year. They seem to carefully select and handle brands that are not found in the Kansai region. They have a wide selection of sake brands such as Rairaku, Kinshi Morinori, Shonosato, Hizen Kurashin, Chitose Mori, Kikunoi, Hakuryu (Fukui Prefecture), Ayagiku, Hanashimi, Zoka, Morinokura, Rokkasen, Tenzan, etc. Sake made with Sanuki olive yeast. Fresh, rich, sweet and acidic. The acidity is impressive, but there is also a bit of spiciness in the latter half. It has a light mouthfeel for its alcohol content, perhaps due to the acidity. It does have a slightly tropical flavor.

Corner shop at the mysterious cheese shop (2) Since the corner drinking at this restaurant is self-serve, we discovered an unopened bottle of Moridori when searching the refrigerator! I entrusted it to Mr. Nemuchi, a professional corker 😁. I drank a lot of dry sake at an off-line meeting the other day and I'm in the mode that I can drink some dry sake, right? I'm in a mode that some things are dry, so I drank it. It's definitely dry, but it's delicious with a nice sweetness and gasiness 😁.

I think it was a collaboration of several sake breweries in Hyogo Prefecture.

Purchased at a liquor store specializing in Hyogo sake with mofu. There were many people drinking sake in the store and the atmosphere was bizarre. When I asked the store staff if it was an event, he told me that they were people who had come from Ozeki's brewery open at a nearby store. The smell of squid filled the air, and the waiter said he was sorry for the smell 🤣. This sake is brewed with salvia yeast collected by students at an agricultural high school. It is slightly effervescent and has a unique flavor. Sweet but cosmetic like no other aroma. A little nutty in the second half. I thought it was a little peculiar. After 3 days, a little bit of rum raisin taste. Definitely tastier than freshly opened 😋.

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.

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.

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!

Junmai Daiginjo that is not like Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness is moderate. It takes some time for the flavors to develop. Personally, I've always had the impression that Yamadanishiki has a sweet aftertaste, but the dryness of the flavor reminded me of the diversity of Japanese sake. And even though it's supposed to be a little out of character for my taste, it was a dish that made me drink more! As the temperature rises, the taste is distinctly sweet at first and then dry (and crisp) at the end. It broke the stereotype that Yamada Nishiki is sweet! The brewery started brewing in 1922. The name of the brand was changed from the famous water "Horime-no-Ido" to "Horinoi".

The rice is Fukunokou. This is also not found in Kansai, so I bought it. The aroma is slightly pineapple. It is fruity but a little dry and refreshing. Slight sweetness. I was told it was dry, but I didn't feel it was that dry. It's light, but it may not be enough for some people.

Oil clay, fruity smell. The sweet, honey-like taste is followed by a smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing acidity, and then a strong spiciness follows and overtakes the taste. As the temperature rises, a banana-like smell and flavor are detected, and the complexity of the taste increases. Delicious. Please enjoy the intense and powerful flavor of the formula. I could understand and enjoy it.

Refreshing fruity smell with a savory flavor. A taste that makes you drool. The sweet and savory flavor is followed by an acidity that expands to a powerful flavor and taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness to bring it all together. It is delicious! As you continue to drink, the sweetness becomes lovely, and the savory taste in the mouth allows you to drink more and more. When served with food, it enhances the food and hides the taste of the sake. I like it more and more each time I drink it.

At home. Nagano sake, Masumi - first try: ‼️ The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. In the mouth, it has a smooth texture and a strong impression of acidity and bitterness. When it leaves the nose, in addition to the gorgeousness, there is a hint of alcohol.

I visited Araiya Brewery for an in-store tasting of Sekiya Brewery's sake, which I couldn't taste because I had to drive afterwards 😅. Sake that has been aged for only one year and bottled. I tried to hold off on opening it until New Year's, but my fridge was at capacity 🤣🤣 so I opened it 😅. Well, the aroma is green apple 🍏, soft mouthfeel, fresh sweetness and delicious flavor with a sourness that slowly builds up ✨. On the second day, I think the sweetness has deepened. I've read that it's recommended to cool it down a little bit, so if you let it sit for a while after pouring it, the sweetness and umami will deepen and become more intense ✨.

2022/06/17 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Refreshing and dry eye aroma. Fizzy and light to drink. Grapefruit? Aquarius? It tastes like a grapefruit? Anyway, it is easy to drink. There is a slight lactic acidity. It is crisp and refreshing. It is good to drink it cold on a hot day.
