#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.

Japanese>English

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*.

Japanese>English

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

2017BY. Slightly pungent, with a delicious twinge of umami. It has a slightly bitter taste, but it comes together nicely.

Japanese>English

I ordered it because it is made from Omachi rice in Okayama! It was light at first, but later on it was very strong. It is not easy to drink, but I could taste it well.

March 15. As it is a day of great luck, which comes only a few days a year, I went to visit my local Omae Ebisu Shrine ⛩️ The sky was clear and blue, the smell of plum blossoms was in the air, and I felt refreshed. I prayed for peace and gratitude. Third picture: Ebisu-sama, about 20 meters high The 4th picture, a motorcycle ema, is very rare 🙄. We stopped at a sake store on our way back home🤗. The aroma is mild. It has a very slight graininess, a slightly sweet and bitter cocoa taste, umami, and a firm acidity, and after swallowing it, you feel your throat get very hot. Perhaps it is the effect of the acidity, but the aftertaste is so refreshing that you do not feel the al 18 degrees.

Here is the 5th drink of the comparison at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Kohime Junmai Sake This one has a distinctly different taste from the other four. The color, the grain-derived aroma, the taste... Classic type with strong umami and acidity. ❗️ Suitable as a food sake

Japanese>English

Purchased with Tenryo sake cup at Okuhiroya in Kayashima. They stocked it because it was well received at a Saga sake tasting event held for sake retailers. Probably not normally available in the Kansai region. The rice is made from Hokkaido's Kitashizuku. I know Nabeshima also uses Kitashizuku. It has a beautiful sake quality for the rice polishing ratio. There is a slight sweetness, but it is also slightly thin and heavy. It also has a nutty taste. It tastes like nothing else.

Japanese>English

HAMA BAR⑤. The last one is "Kouhime" on the far left. It has a slightly sour taste and is very impressive. My friend said she could tell even blind. Really? The DEAR MY PRINCESS on the menu seems to have been very popular this season. It seems to have been very popular this season and has been sold out. I got the third one, RISE, instead.

Junmai Kamizankojyomizu Namazake🍶Biyamanishiki🌾 Saitama G yeast ✨. Moderate acidity 😆. Well made. The characteristics are thin but not unpleasant. It goes well with old-fashioned corned beef doria (mixed corned beef doria)👍This kind of snack is even better 😋. BIGINTEI @ Toda Koen 20230804

Japanese>English

Quite a fine Junmai Daiginjo sake. There is enough mellow deliciousness. It is a talented brewery in Saitama. Aside from Kamikame, it is the second best sake in Saitama after Hanayo-yoku.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I drink it at home. I bought it from Kurumiya in Hachinohe because they only sell one bottle of sake in my neighborhood. I also bought two other kinds of sake that cannot be bought in Kansai. The packaging was very careful and excellent. The aroma is subtle, with hints of strawberries and berries. The refreshing sweetness and acidity are pleasant. The final taste is bitter. I have the impression that Miyamanishiki and other sake I have had in the past were sweeter. I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy Shugou... I heard that the sake brewery here is aging, with all the employees over 65 years old. I wonder if that's why they don't distribute much.

Sushi Continuing on with a little Sushi 🍣. I was surprised by this sake I opened the week before last: ‼️ I loved it 🥹💖! The fruity aroma is unlike anything I've ever tasted before! It really goes well with Tenzan Sake Brewery🍀. #TenzanShuzo #JunmaiGinjo #Yamadanishiki #Cold sake #Saga Prefecture #Low-cost Series

Stars Fate has brought us together with Tenzan Shuzo: ‼️ It started with rice shochu (Shichida) and now it is recommended to be heated 🍶💕. It tastes very fresh even though it is an aged sake ↑upWhat are you talking about⁉️ but I like it very much! I like it very much. I'm afraid I can drink as much as I want 😱. #Tenzan Shuzo #Yamahai Junmai #Aged sake #Fresh #Nihonbare #Saga Prefecture #Low-cost Series

We went on a bullet trip to a hot spring in Gunma 😆♨️ Before arriving at the ryokan, we went to a local liquor store. I decided to buy some Gunma sake at a local liquor store before we arrived at the ryokan! I was so excited, I visited Takahashi Yo Shoten for the first time, which I sometimes order from Corona Disaster! I visited Takahashi Yoh Shoten for the first time! I found a bottle of sake that I had ordered before and was very impressed. The Gan brewed by Mikito Takai, who is no longer with the company, was really delicious, so I chose the New Gan with the feeling that I would like to try it too. I was surprised to find that it was brewed by Mikito Takai! And it's still delicious 😭✨ It was great slightly chilled, but also great warmed 👍. Not spectacular, but deeply delicious... And it's so cosy! I brought home the rest of the bottle. I'm going to drink it with care 🍶🎶.

This is the first time I've had this wine, Chikyukura. It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink, yet fruity! Sake recommended by my favorite yakitori restaurant Yakitori and stewed chicken are both delicious! Delicious sake and snacks! Recharge your energy after a hard day's work!

I told the owner of Jutoku Sake Sales Office what I liked and he recommended this sake. He said it was fruity and refreshing. It's definitely sweet, but not overpowering. It was my first time to try green, and it was delicious.

My colleague brought it to me 🎵 It was my first time to drink this sake 🍶 It has a delicious white wine-like flavor and a rounded sake taste ❗The lingering taste is not sweet but has a bitter flavor like chocolate 😉 It was an interesting and delicious sake 😉. It may be a bit on the refreshing side, but it doesn't make you think it's super dry, it's a good sake for those who are looking for a dry sake 😃.
