Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

Japanese>English

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (4) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. Echigo Toji Honjozo This sake was recommended by bouken, Nemuchi, and Sakélan advisors at the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas. It was recommended by all three as the No. 1 sake that I would drink at the event, so I went back to Abeno Harukas on the last day 🍶💨. The color is almost crystal. The top aroma is milky with a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is light and smooth. The taste is a nostalgic sweetness and umami like fine milk caramel that flows gently and smoothly. When heated, the milk caramel flavor increases and the taste is refreshing. It has a classic flavor, It is a delicious sake with a light, milky sweetness and umami that is easy to drink, with a smoothness that reminds one of the softness of Niigata's melted snow water. After all, this is the kind of sake that you want to drink at the end of the day! The selection ability of the three heavyweight members of the group is superb 😊. The Niigata Sake Fair is still going on.

Purchased at Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA It looks like it's only sold 3㌥ all year round, but I couldn't find it on the website💦. When I tasted it, I got the impression it was bitter, but it tasted quite sweet. Maybe because it's not on its own, but during a meal? I got the impression that it was a little strong on alcohol. But my overall impression is that it's easy to drink. I have a much better impression when drinking it at home than when tasting it 😍. I think it will show its full potential during a meal 😋. The mild syrupy sweetness is addictive!

Japanese>English

We opened a bottle of this Niigata sake. It is gorgeous and elegant, I would say, but in this day of various drinks, it lacks punch and has a thin image. With truffle rice balls to finish. Alcohol content 14%. IngredientsRice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Rice polishing ratio 55

At Ya-Ya in Kobe. This is the first time to drink Neko Masamune since it was transferred from the defunct Omi Sake Brewery to Maihime🐱. It has a sweet taste with a slight graininess from the freshness. It tastes a little messy, but it's not that bad, right? Might prefer it to Omi Neko Masamune 🤔. It's quite fruity and has a pungent and alu taste, but maybe it's good? It's sweeter the longer it's been open.

I was curious about Ishizuchi's Princess, but I saw this one and bought it. It is sweet and sour. This sweet and sour makes me imagine the first love of a certain princess who has feelings for his person in New York....

This is a driver's sake that cannot be tasted on the Suwa Gokura tour. Only this brewery offered small bottles of sake instead of cups. I must drink it this year😅. The aroma is calm with a little bit of alcohol smell. The sweetness of the rice flavor and the well-balanced acidity were delicious. This was my first time drinking Maihime sake in Suwa, and I loved it 😁.

Souvenirs from Shinshin SY Among several souvenirs, I chose this one intuitively by looking at the label. He brought three four-packs of sake as a souvenir, which is a generous gesture for a business traveler who travels all over the country. I would never have been able to do such a thing with my own pocketbook. When I pour it into the cup, it is more yellow than I expected! Is this a matured type? The aroma is slightly fruity, but has a bitter, mature aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a light sweetness and bitterness, and a moderate umami, but the maturing aroma in the aftertaste is unique. The light sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste are quite a tricky thing to pull off. This strange taste is not one of my favorites, but it is something that makes me want to drink it again. It reminds me of that strange feeling I had in junior high school when I used to prank cigarettes behind my back. It's a treat!

When I come to "Noe-no-ye", I can sometimes find sake from Mr. Mouzuka's place! Basically, when I find it, I drink it! And this time, it was a junmai nama-shu, which has never been posted on Sake-no-wa! And it's ogara-mi! Junmai nama sake has been posted quite a bit. The sake is dry, but I like it! I hope I will be able to find another sake that I don't know about. Brief Sketch Alcohol 15.5 Rice polishing ratio 60 Sake degree +4 Acidity 1.5

Purchased at Yokohama Takashimaya Rice used is Kame-no-o type Koshihikari produced in Kasama City The alcohol is a little strong, but the taste is smooth and not like an unfiltered draft. It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness and is refreshingly clean❣️. There aren't many unfiltered sake that are good all-around food sake, but this one seems to go well with all kinds of food❣️.

Japanese>English

Well, it has a solid rice feeling and no acidity ☺️. I think it's a little light in character, but But I can't help but drink more😋. @Kasama Masuya

Japanese>English

Cold sake. Sake from Japan's oldest sake brewery. The color is a cloudy light yellow. The aroma is faintly of cooked rice with a hint of myrin. The first sip has a mild aroma of cooked rice with a honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is crisp and light, leaving a dry aftertaste on the tongue. Although it is a sake made from the traditional sake yeast, it is a pure rice daiginjo that is stored unfiltered, so it is easy to drink and has a beautiful taste with a broad range of flavors. Goes well with Iburi Goko cheese.

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Rice used is Yume-Ginko from Nagoya This sake has a slightly sweet and robust flavor. It is not so fresh, but has a mildly sharp and clean aftertaste. Overall, it has a calmness that makes it a versatile all-around food sake. This is a good sake for ministry.

Japanese>English

This will also be the first time I have dreamed of a hawk. The first aroma is a modest sweet aroma. In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness like ripe fruit and the umami of rice. It also has a sweet overtone like that of ripe fruit. It is similar to Chochin, but darker and tastier. I love Nagoya's sake.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑧ This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered. According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire. I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔. Forgot to take notes💦.

Japanese>English

I thought it was Hibari, but it was Yukijaku. My first sake from Ehime. It's a delicious sake with a fluffy sweetness that spreads to the mouth, and no harshness. I think it's a good sake that will become a rare and delicious sake once its name becomes known. Well, really, all the breweries have delicious sake, and with my vocabulary and expression skills, I can't express the distinction between the sake.
