I bought a bottle of Hyakumangoku No Shiro, a sake rice from Ishikawa prefecture, to drink all of it. It is delicious, and I think it has a firm but fruity character.

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.

Sake with a strong umami and acidity. It goes down the throat well and is delicious.

Japanese>English

We used Go To to Echigo Yuzawa. So_1F3D4 brand and Naebayama brand that I don't remember seeing in Tokyo to match the local cuisine of the hotel. Junmai-Ginjo sake with Junmai-Ginjo specifications. The gentle aroma, the sweetness, and the refreshing finish give me the impression that this is a "Niigata's local sake" as I have always imagined it to be. In terms of Niigata brands that you can buy in Tokyo, I'd say it's similar to the Junmai Ginjo specs of Tsurueri or Kubota. If I tasted it, I'd never be able to understand it myself... After all, coming on a trip and pairing it with local food is the best part of local sake 👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. My first impression was "It's sweet. ❣️ I felt that "Kosu-Mori" was also quite sweet for me, but it seemed more profound than "Kosu-Mori". It is like licking a muscat candy. The finish, however, is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness, so the sweetness doesn't linger and it feels refreshing. It is a delicious drink, but I think it is suitable for different situations.

Slightly effervescent and fresh. Slightly fizzy and fresh, with a clean, firm green apple taste. Good sharpness. 8.5

Japanese>English

The brand name reads "Dokan" and is made at the "Fuji" brewery. Jumizu-shikkomi is a late Edo period method of making sake with less water than usual. It has an aroma of apples and refreshing bananas. Sip a little and you will be hit with a thick, thick sweetness, a rich acidity that pushes up the sweetness, and a gradually resonating umami that leaves a moist aftertaste. I found a good sake.

Japanese>English

First time drinking local sake. This sake brewery was started in Kusatsu-juku by a descendant of Ota Doukan. It is said that the brewery is involved in a wide range of activities, including making sake and wine exclusively for the Imperial Palace and the Kyoto Imperial Gardens. I had no idea. The main taste is similar to Ganki, with a clean, slightly sweet and sour taste. I didn't know there was a sake I liked so close by. ❤️ I'll go to buy some next time I'm back home. PS: I think the bitterness that lingers in the mouth increases as time goes by. It may be due to the temperature change.

I bought it because my child's name has the character for virtue in it lol. I was surprised by the color when I put it in a glass. The best thing about this product is the fact that it is made in Indonesia. I'm not sure if I've had enough, so I opened this bottle, but my face is starting to go numb 🤪 lol

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.

Limited edition sake, 20 degrees, delicious, don't care about the alcohol content.

Sweet and gentle aroma at the top, sweetness and softness in the middle and after. A cup that seems to enhance the sweetness of the rice if it is heated up hot. Polishing ratio 55 Liking degree 3.9

Comparison of nigori sake (Wakayama's favorite nigori sake) Following Minakata, Chokyu ✌️ This is the fire-brewed version of the nigori sake we drank in February. I buy every bottle of Chokyu I see that I have never had before 😆. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was that there was no fizziness at all 😲. The aroma is somewhat almond-like, and it's cloudy with a lot of orioles, so it's like diluted almond milk. But it also has a sourness to it, so I felt a bit unbalanced 🤔. I prefer nigori sake with a fizzy taste 😄.

Japanese>English

Nigori Sake (Japanese rice wine) First time drinking Chokyu's nigori 😊. I always buy Chokyu when I see the new label ✌. The ori is quite a bit more and has a strong fizzy feel to it. It has a lot of umami and a hint of sweetness that is typical of Chokyu, and yet it has a clean dryness that makes it a dangerous sake that you can drink with gusto 🤭. The impression is quite similar to Hirotogawa's nigori👍 It goes well with western food, and the omelette was a nice match 😋.

Japanese>English

[Summer sake is also berry good😂] The most memorable brand I drank last year, super kyu🥰. Don't miss out on getting a bottle of summer raw sake that's also bright! This one is a bit different from the matured Omachi sake I had last year, and I have the impression that it swings in a very sweet and juicy direction. The aroma is tropical 🥭 and the flavor is perfect, with a long, sharp finish and a hint of bitterness. The umami flavor is firm, so it is easy to match with Japanese fried food 👍. Chokyu seems to have a different direction for each label, but each one has its own characteristics and they are all delicious and addictive 😍.

It was hot... in May... in Saitama Prefecture too. There were some extremely hot days 🤣. On the last day of GW, I went to a shopping mall on the way home from a movie with my wife. I went to a shopping mall to do some shopping. We wandered around Cardi's. Sake. Ice sake?　I thought it would be good when it gets hotter. I tossed it in the back of the basket. I had it waiting in the freezer, but I didn't realize how quickly it would crisp up. It was hot, so I decided to finish it off with a dessert. Adult sherbet Naoshichi is a brand of citrus fruit from Kochi. It's good to have in the freezer from now on. ⭕️ The manufacturer is Kikusui Sake Brewery. No, it's from Kochi, so it's from here.

Low alcohol and a little sweet. low alcohol and a little sweet. and slightly sweet, it is easy to drink.

Okan's present sake series. Today I chose Kikusui. I didn't know there was a Kikusui in Tosa. I didn't know that😓I expected some sweetness since it is a junmai ginjo, but it was very dry. Sometimes it is nice to drink sake at room temperature. It's a single-batch bottle, so it's easy to open 😄.

@Hotel Emion Tokyo Pei Rice used is So-no-Mai, Chiba Prefecture's original sake rice. It seems to be a lineage with Omachi as its high grandfather. This is also a delicious sake that goes well with Japanese food. It is refreshing, and the sweetness comes on gradually. It is an all-around sake, not limited to Japanese food.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Yamadanishiki The aroma is like muscat, with a slight sweetness and a crisp finish. There is no bitterness, but I felt it was a little sharp right after opening the bottle. But as I drank more and more, it became more refined, or rather, the taste was developed. ❗️ It has a good balance and is a versatile sake that can be served with any flavor or situation. ‼️ As expected of a flagship sake, it was delicious. ❣️
