Genuine Sake (Normal Sake) Aizu Inshu ✨ The first cup of our annual New Year's sake 😆. Mellow, a little bit spicy 😳, good for warming up. Mellowed with Aizu's famous squid carrots 🦑🥕 ☺️ Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20240106

Japanese>English

Normal sake The umami and acidity cling to the palate as you sip. It is a perfect match with Kitakata Ramen (soy sauce). More umami and sweetness. It was a very satisfying lunchtime Chinese drink 🎉. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20230108

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Shizuoka Business Trip Part ㉔ Last week, on my way back from Mishima, I stopped by Nagashima-san in Numazu and bought some sake from Kunika Sake Brewery. The aroma is refreshing and clean 🤔. 🤔In the mouth Beautiful and soft 😊Refreshing acidity and a good umami taste 😚👍and it's a delicious sake that I never get tired of drinking 🥳.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.

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 😂.

The 6th go-around house is Saba in Komasen from Shichinohe town in Aomori: 🐟️ I guess the only people who would recognize Sakuta or Shichiriki no Kura would be locals or Aomori otaku🤓 lol. President Morita was here. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you take a sip, it has a light sweetness and a moderate umami flavor, and it finishes with a refreshing crispness. It was the perfect sake for the pickled sesame mackerel that came with the entrée. It was delicious 🍶🐟️ They currently make 500 koku (they have 3,000 koku in their facilities) with 5 employees and 5 part-timers. When I told the president that I am a fan of Sakuta and Shichiriki, he laughed and said, "It was worth coming here today.

Japanese>English

This time it is "nine nine The final"! 🍶 A large amount of it was in stock at a local liquor store ✋. This is the last of the nine 😭. I was not lucky enough to have a chance to buy it, and when I finally did, it was the last one 😭😭.... I will savor it to the fullest! 🥺 The aroma is a ginjo aroma with a hint of sourness! The aroma, which is not too strong, wears a luxurious elegance. As a lover of sourness, I have high expectations at this point! The first thing you notice in the mouth is the acidity, but it is not too strong! However, it is not too strong and lasts until it passes down the throat at the same time as the aroma and sweetness! It lasts until it goes down your throat at the same time! What a delicious taste...! ...and then gradually the sweetness gets stronger and stronger to the peak of sweetness! Quite sweet! 🗻🗻🗻. The fruity flavor of white grapes stays deep in the mouth even after swallowing, extending the aftertaste! 💚🍇 It's amazingly delicious. ...... I wish I could have had a chance to taste it sooner... ...... No, I should be glad I got to drink it at the end! LOL! I may not be able to drink this brand anymore, but I will check out the brewery's future! 💪.

Rice used is Comet The tanks are buried in the snow to mature the sake. It does not have a sense of maturity, but has a round mouthfeel and a crisp finish. It is a good summer sake.

Japanese>English

My junior from Hokkaido bought some sake as a souvenir and we drank it at home together. It seems to be stored in the snow. The sake is light and dry. It goes well with any kind of food. We had yakitori and hormone today. The sake and the snack are delicious, and the talk is fun. The best.

As smooth as water. Fruity and smooth. It is a summer sake!

I received a drinking set from a colleague. When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind, But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone. It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

Japanese>English

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".
