#Funabori# A bit of a bad look 😅. Homemade sundubu jjigae with a side of homemade sundubu jjigae. We had this one. The sundubu jjigae was I kept the spiciness low so that my family could also enjoy it. I made the best use of the soup stock of shijimi clam. The sake does not have much rice flavor 🤔. Maybe because it is a ginjo sake. It is quite light.

Natsuko Monogatari Junmai Ginjo This is refreshingly dry!　Even more crisp than Ki. It went well with grilled tuna and swordfish in the latter half*.

The spiciness extends from around the middle to the middle. The back end is smooth.

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

Hinohikari. The richness of the rice flavor is gutsy. Slightly hiney feeling.

This is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place. According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki. The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite. Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔. I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself?

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a very crisp, dry, deep-flavored Ajiginjo. The aroma is subtle. The mellowness is more apparent in junmai sake. This is also a good sake. I drank 8 glasses this time and they were all good! There are so many good sake that I can't keep up with them all! It's a happy scream!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Slightly pear-like aroma. It has a light shwashiness, and the sweetness is refreshing and light. Is it a summer sake? The umami is also crisp and clean. This is good!

At a local izakaya just a stone's throw from the brewery 🍶. It was a very good, mellow sake with a very reasonable price. This time at room temperature.

Japanese>English

In the neighborhood At a good barbecue restaurant The only sake they had A local world hawk. It was a very good price! I could drink it to the last!

Japanese>English

Another bottle bought at a supermarket in Kawagoe. I also bought a bottle that was not hiyaoroshi. After storing it in the fridge, I took a sip. The aroma is mild. The texture has a mild aroma, and the taste has a richness to it. It has a hint of sweetness like apple honey, and becomes dry and sharp. With only one cup of hiyaoroshi left, I thought to myself, "Yes, that's right! Sake tasting! The two are so alike that I can't tell 💦I can tell the difference in taste when I take a sip of air 💦This one has a big umami, and that one is not so different, but a little sweeter. This is hiyaoroshi. ‼️ Hazleyーー‼️ドーン💥 It's interesting and fun to see the difference in taste 😆 I'll be unfazed and diligent 🍶.

Ueno tasted Fujioka sake. It was a blend of matured sake and a good sake, with a moderate drinking experience. It was a truly delicious sake with a flavor gently brewed over time.

Clear and ripe with no clutter ‼️ Slightly sweet taste: 👍🏻 Tingling, long-lasting ✨✨✨.

Japanese>English

bamboo shoots boiled, sliced, fermented, dried or preserved in salt, then soaked in hot water and sea salt When it is cooled down to a crisp, you can feel the aroma of maturity, and when it is on your tongue, the sourness and sweetness are gradually released. Delicious. When heated, it has a soft and gentle sweetness and a sourness at the end. It tastes even better when warmed. So it was heated in the mouth. Purchased on 10/25 at the opening of the brewery. It is a special limited edition sake made from Koshihikari rice and aged in a cool place in the brewery. I also enjoyed the explanation of the sake by the toji (master brewer). It is an attractive sake brewery, but access by public transportation is a hurdle.

The wooden vat pressing seems to be a very careful and labor-intensive process. Aroma of maturity, like brown sugar, fills the nose. It makes you salivate a little. It has a nuance of matured sake, a soft mouthfeel with a rich umami flavor, and a sourness that makes the tongue feel tight. It has the same 15% alcohol as Kinjaku, but Haru has a gentler alcohol taste and is easier to drink ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. 🌅🌅

Yasui Sake Brewery's Ikuhashidataro, a sake brewed using the raw yeast method. The sake shop recommended this limited-edition sake made with the finest Shiga Prefecture Ginbukietsu. It had a fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and was refreshing. It was delicious and gone in no time.

Visit the "Tenzan Early Summer Brewery Opening", and bought a limited edition of last year's freshly squeezed I still have a weakness for the word "limited edition". As usual, I have a weakness for the word "limited". The sake was slightly thawed and cooled down to the perfect temperature, The moment you put it in your mouth, the good aroma and flavor spreads, The sake is also cooler on the throat, The sake is even clearer and more pleasant to the taste, It was delicious. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts.

Tenzan Junmai Ginjyo Nama Pink Light Nigori It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle because it was too active! It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle 🤯. It has a sweet and sour taste like strawberries, as is typical of sake with red yeast, but the gas is so strong that it tastes like carbonated juice without soda! It's like a carbonated juice without soda! There are still some red yeast sake that I don't know about, I'll have to look into it more!
