The owner of the sake shop where I often go to buy sake gave me a sample and it was delicious, so I bought it. It is a local sake from Aichi Prefecture. Slightly dry, refreshing and easy to drink. 1430 yen

Japanese>English

I recently bought this for 700 yen on the web. It seems to have been left in the shop for more than a year, so it was cheap as a disposal sake😄. It's a beautiful sake for a sake that has been neglected👍. The aroma is pear-like, but the taste reminds me of apples ️. It's sweet but crisp and very easy to drink😆. It's so easy to drink 😆 If it's this quality, I might want to buy it and drink it properly. I can't make fun of Aichi prefecture!

Japanese>English

The owner of our favorite liquor store, Higashi Ryu This year we were able to get Sasanigori without incident. The regular version of Jungin is also very tasty, so we are very interested in this one as well. The aroma is fruity and reserved. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet, and you know it's good the moment you taste it! The aftertaste is fruity and fruity. The fruitiness increases around the time of the aftertaste, and the acid bitterness at the end is mild. It is a strange sake with a sense of transparency even though it is a "Sasanigori" sake. The Sendai Aoba Festival will finally begin tomorrow. Last weekend, a purification ceremony and a lighting ceremony for the Date Gate were held, and everything is ready for the festival to get into full swing. The weather is looking good, and it is the best time of the year when the blue leaves are at their most radiant. I will be there with my tin can and singing the woodcutter's song! Please come to Sendai this weekend! Thanks for the food!

At the store. Easy to drink while Junmai Daiginjo, but dry? Clear. Sake was light on the palate.

Japanese>English

Clear and refreshing! (These are just the impressions of a sake beginner. (These are just my impressions as a sake beginner, please don't get me wrong. It's all right as long as you enjoy drinking it.) (The following is a reprint from the description on the Internet. It has a fresh aroma and a smooth smooth throat. It has a dry, light taste with excellent sharpness. It is recommended for first-time sake drinkers as it is easy to drink. Incidentally, the Sudoh family has been brewing sake since the end of the Heian Period (1141, the first year of the Eiji Period), and is the oldest brewery in Japan, now in its 55th generation. The brewery is located in Kasama City (formerly Tomobe Town) in the center of Ibaraki Prefecture.

This sake went well with kappo cuisine! It has depth! Not too much ginjo!

Japanese>English

It was completely destroyed by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but was rebuilt in the spring of the following year and named "Kuzo" (meaning "empty storehouse"), again starting from "zero" (空). What a mellow Junmai Daiginjo! It has a sweet top-shelf aroma with a hint of alcohol. The taste is not fruity or sour, but rather a spicy sweetness that dominates the tongue. The liquid has a slight yellowish tinge, and the legs are thin and clear.

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

Japanese>English

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

The second drink at Marukoma was my first "Koshu". It is light and crisp with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The second sake was "Koshu", which is also from Niigata but has a different flavor from the "Hokusetsu" that we drank for the first sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

This Sake is light and not too sweet. There are herbal flavor notes like licorice and mint. The finish is clean with a light mineral aftertaste. I am told this is a limited, seasonal Sake.

Asahi Chrysanthemum brought back from the Obon cemetery bullet tour. This is the first brand of Asahi Kiku. After all, it is a Kyushu sake, so it is hard to find it in Tohoku. The aroma is almost unrecognizable. The mouthfeel is clean and dry, but with enough umami to satisfy the taste buds. It has a classical impression. It is good to drink this kind of sake once in a while! Don't torture me, I'll just say sake words without permission. 〜Cold Chinese noodles with soy sauce or sesame seeds? Sesame? Lemon? 〜Soy sauce or sesame seeds? Thank you for the food!

#Otsuka# W small/hori I wanted something sweet, so I went for the nigori type... I didn't feel much sweetness and it left a pungent taste😅. Well, it's good because it tastes good👍

Rice used is Dewanosato At first sip, I thought, "This is delicious! This is quite a talented brewer. The moment you take a sip, the banana-like sweetness spreads, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste. It is not gorgeous, but the atmosphere is calm and serene from start to finish. It is a nice and classy sake and I liked it❣️.

A gift from my parents-in-law. The first time I drank it, it was also good❗️ In the basic refreshing, there is also a strong taste of rice, as a medium sake in the meal is very good😆. I enjoyed it with spring bonito and firefly squid. Thank you to my father and mother-in-law😊.

Japanese>English

Last of the day. It has been a while since I had this one. It has a medium mouthfeel, with a spicy and umami richness from the mid-palate. It goes on and on until the aftertaste.

First Hatsukasumi, R5BY, served warm. Soft on the palate, with a strong impression of the acidity of the sake.
