I went to Penguin Village, which I had always been curious about. The sign says Kikusui, but I was surprised to find a variety of good sake! The food is delicious and reasonably priced! The food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is fun to drink while receiving souvenirs from customers. Nice! Sake is not on the menu, but rather selected from the fridge. Good! Junmai Namaizume Harazake from Jange! It has a clean, dry taste with a strong umami flavor, and is easy to drink even at the high alcohol content of the original sake! It goes well with sashimi, but also with satsuma-age (fried fish cake), a souvenir of Shizuoka, from an old man who was drinking at the counter!

The eighth sake rice research bottle is Yumesansui, a trad variety from Aichi. It has a solid image, but the aroma is citrusy. Freshness of new sake, slightly effervescent and drier than sweet. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

Today is my first time drinking both of these ️️Aichi-style sake breweries 👍 First up is Ko no Tsukasa‼️. This is the one that shouldn't be chilled😅it's water😆. It's still water even if the temperature goes up😅It might be good if it's heated up, but it's too much trouble so I'm not going to do it 🤣. Next time👍

Japanese>English

The rice is Yumesansui, the same as in the previous nama sake we drank. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity. A little sweet and a little pineapple. It tastes fresh and spring-like. Delicious.

I saw it at Takasaki station and bought it. I was expecting to be disappointed, but I was pleasantly surprised. I should have bought it at a dozen places. I should have bought it at the dozen.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had a normal Akagisan! I love the refreshing taste of summer, but the crisp and dry taste during the cold winter months is also very refreshing and special ✨. The clear and beautiful mouthfeel is also reminiscent of the snowy winter landscape! It's also a great choice for warming up during this time of the year. But in my opinion, Akagisan is best drunk cold 😋.

Japanese>English

It is no longer a must-have. I've been saving it for a while since I bought it, but I opened it just as it was getting a little warmer! (I'll spare you my impressions.) It has a light, refreshing, umami dry taste and a clean, crisp throat, making it a great choice for the coming season 😌. In my opinion, it is a 🍺 substitute...!

٩٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Taiheikai today😄. I've only had Taiheikai 1314 once and it's been a while since I've bought it ✨😀😀. Almost no aroma 🤔In the mouth, it is fire-brewed but the sensation of freshness fills the mouth. It's a good combination of matured and fresh 😚😊Mellow and calm with a good umami and a crisp acidity 😋. I don't know if it is suitable for today's suddenly cooler weather, but it was delicious . I don't know, but it was delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had the Taiheikai 😀. The aroma is mild and when you drink it, it's fresh and fruity with a slight swoosh😄The acidity comes at the end but just right✨. It was a modern type of sake😙.

Japanese>English

Gassy, white wine-like acidity and sweetness. A hint of bitterness. Muscat-like aroma. Delicious.

At home. About 30 years ago, when I was in my first year of working, my senior took me to a sake party, and this was the first sake I tasted. Now it's sold in many different varieties, and I feel the times have changed. The taste is still the same, it is as easy to drink as water, and it is a delicious sake that reminds me of those days.

Japanese>English

Niigata Sake 🍶. For the record

Japanese>English

The last of the Ohigan parties was the first Kamizenjosui in a long time. I had an image of a more Showa-esque sake, but to my surprise, it really looked like water. It went well with a wide range of foods such as sashimi and Costco high rollers. In other words, it doesn't get in the way. It made me rethink my opinion a little bit. I think I need to update my taste buds by choosing something that doesn't look like a local sake sometimes.

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

I don't want to say too much, but it is cosy and very tasty. It is also delicious on its own, but the rice flavor and ginjo aroma are as good as the food. Thick. What I don't want to say too much about it is that it's really cheap... I don't want it to become popular and expensive lol. Nakano Sake Brewery, can you do better there 😌.

Easy to drink. Dry and fruity Maybe it's more spicy than fruity. Well, it's a delicious sake.

We ordered at Benkei no weibasho, an izakaya near Niigata Station. This restaurant is operated by a local conveyor-belt sushi chain, and we were informed that their seafood dishes are sure to be good, so we made a reservation and visited. I was curious about this sake at Ponshukan, where I had wandered around during lunch. Niigata is known for its dry sake, but this one is quite fruity. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with sashimi. I mean, too much throat groyne!

Japanese>English

58 days after opening the bottle. When I drink it, it seems to warm up. It is delicious as a heated sake. It is a sake brewery in Sado Island.

Japanese>English

Maryo Yamahai Junmai GON Rice：Gohyakumangoku, etc. Rice Polishing Ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 15 We were lured by the comment of the brewer's challenge hidden sake and brought it to you. What is it? It has a light smoky aroma, just like Kenpachi. We ended up drinking it cold, but it was recommended to be served lukewarm. It suddenly got cold yesterday. But I think daikon radish tastes best around this time of year. Starting with cold sake and warming a glass to lukewarm seems like a good idea 🍶. Sake from Sado is never a miss 😋.

At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Japanese>English

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.
