Takahashi Sake Brewery. Purchased at Niigata Antenna Shop, 1 gou (1:1) bottle Polishing ratio: 70% Sake degree: -27 It's not as sweet as I thought it would be. It's supposed to go well with chocolate, but I didn't buy any chocolate, so I'll get some next time! I wondered how it would taste with warmed sake, but it seems to be better at room temperature.

Renowned French chocolatier Jean-Paul Evin praised the sake as "the best match for chocolates! (In this app, it's called Kawafumi no Tabi 🍶. (In this app, the name is Echi-no-Hana Sake Brewery, but Takahashi Sake Brewery must have taken over this sake, as they are now out of business) Chocolate and sake? I thought, "Sake with chocolate!" but when I tried it together, it was laughably delicious. It is a very sweet sake with a sake content of -27, but it is better with sweet milk chocolate or raw chocolate than bitter chocolate. Please give it a try 🍶🍫🍶🍫.

This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture). It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock. This is the one I found in my parents' fridge. Cool and pungent. A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor. Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you. The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness. The intense flavor is intoxicating. After all, Genpei is delicious. I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed. The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.

This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Oku-Echizen region, Fukui Prefecture. I bought this sake when I went back home for summer vacation, and it just appeared. It has a sweet aroma that spreads quickly, with a sharp pungency. The sharpness of the spiciness is complemented by the sharpness of the aroma, which reminds me a bit of Western-style sake. It is a country sake, but it is quite gorgeous and sparkling. How about when it is warmed up? The spiciness rushes in like a gust of wind. The spiciness rushes through like a gust of wind, gushing out sweetness and melting away the flavors of the snacks at a torrent-like speed. It is just like spring melt water. The faint scent of vanilla in the aftertaste is also a nice touch. I enjoy the speed and grace.

Japanese>English

I was a little curious about it with lots of writing, so I bought it. I heard it was super dry. Hohoho. It has a pungent taste that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes it easy to drink. It has a spiciness that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes you feel like you can drink it without hesitation. Let's try it with meat and fish to see how well it goes with them. The spiciness of the sake also faded when paired with tonteki (pork belly) with sweet and spicy sauce.

Today we are going out for a drink. This izakaya is a rare izakaya where you can eat a lot of vegetables 😁The sashimi is also reasonably priced with sea bream and swordfish. They sell vegetables, so they have a large selection of vegetable-based soft drinks. They mainly have local Shizuoka sake, but they also have a lot of Omuraya sake from the famous Omuraya brewery, which is famous for Wakatake and Onna no Nyokase 🧐 This is the first time I've had anything from this brewery. Today's sake was Oni Otome. I was in the mood for a sweet sake. The flavor was full and spreading. It is delicious 😋. We had it with sashimi, tempura, and meat rolls!

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Yogurt, citrus acidity, and rosemary. In other words, the creaminess of cheesecake.

Souvenirs of Saga 🤗Chapter 1 The top aroma is like red miso or buckwheat flower honey, the type I haven't tasted lately. 〰︎ As the temperature loosens up, it has a fruity bitter chocolate flavor with a strong acidity 😚 I thought I remembered smelling that aroma of BASE BREAD chocolate somewhere 😚 It seems to be a slightly classical rich dry type, but it had an interesting flavor........ I almost ate too much of it because the oily fried squid geso tasted strangely delicious 😅. Thanks for the food!

Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Umenomado Special Junmai 3㌥ I tasted and bought this at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. I actually had it yesterday, but since it is a special junmai, I compared the two. We will drink it cold. The color is clear and almost colorless. The top aroma is mild and not very noticeable. The taste has a robust rice flavor, sweetness, and a nutty, chocolate-like complexity. It is rich and mellow, but compared to Saka, it has a more traditional country-style flavor. The aroma on the nose is bitter and chocolatey. By the second day, the chocolaty flavor has settled down, and a clear, mineral, full flavor emerges, making it easier to drink. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Saka Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Zake. Purchased after tasting at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. Saka is a new brand, and is apparently better known as "Ume" (window plum). It is served cold. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is mild, with a slight hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth with a slight flocculation, and it does not feel fresh to the extent that it should. On the palate, there is a little bit of juicy acidity, a little bit of tangy alcohol, and a nutty, full flavor that spreads. The aftertaste is a bit of a sharp spiciness, with a slight throat hit after swallowing. I bought it thinking it would be sweeter and more umami, but it was surprisingly dryer than I expected. I may have fallen for a bit of tasting magic. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content:16

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

Japanese>English

This is Hiroshima sake we received as a gift. It is also delicious! The first glass was dry and sharp, but from the second glass, I could taste the fruity flavor of muscat...I guess. 300ml is just right too (lol). Local sake is fun, isn't it? Thank you for the sake! We will definitely win...Carp!

Japanese>English

Huh? I thought I bought one cup, but I can't find it, In, I bought more of this alcohol. More? The first day, we served soba noodles from the same area. Instead of using the accompanying dipping sauce, we combined daikon radish soup with miso and served it with oshibori soba, It is a take on the oshibori udon noodles I made before. Don't tell me that the best combination this time was daikon radish and Brussels sprouts dip, Was the miso good? Thank you very much for the delicious sake.

2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵‍💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

Japanese>English

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.
