Sakushu Musashi Kenkou Gekkou Gekkou Gekkou Ultimate Daikarakuchi Genshu This is a local sake from Mimasaka in northeastern Okayama Prefecture, the birthplace of Musashi Miyamoto! As the name implies, it's very dry 😆. Sake degree +28 or higher, this is no joke! It is a very assertive sake, so it goes perfectly with a local dish of Okayama, "boiled yellow chives", which is a habitual dish of Okayama 😋. Onra Yamadanishiki Junmai It seems to be named after an ancient demon from the Kibi region in the southern part of Okayama Prefecture! Kokuwaku 😱. 80% polished Yamadanishiki produced in Kume Minami-cho, Okayama Prefecture. Dry taste Grain taste Slightly old sake aroma Personally, I didn't like it 🥲. Sanzen Yamahai Junmai Omachi Nama-nara Sake This is a sake from Kurashiki. Made with Omachi, the pride of Okayama Prefecture's sake rice. Not fruity, but umami type. It has a classical grain-like taste. The acidity is unique to the Yamahai brewing process. Thick and rich. When we went to Kurashiki, she rented a kimono and we went for a walk 👘.

Memorandum📝. The most addictive sake in hiyaoroshi. It has a bitter and smoky taste, The maturity of the sake envelops you with a roundness from start to finish. It is a sense of security from childhood, surrounded by babysitters. It is an excellent sake that can be served cold or hot. I drank two bottles in one season.

Started work today. Fukushima Prefecture, Kawanuma-gun. Toyokuni Sake Brewing Co. Toyokuni Tokubetsu Junmai Yamadanishiki Nama-Nagara Sake Toyokuni is famous for its "Ippou-self" (Higashi) from Ishikawa County, and Toyokuni from Aizu, Kawanuma County, where we will drink this time. I found out that there are two Toyokuni Shuzo Goshi companies with the same name. The brewer here told me that they no longer have to indicate the year of production. He told me that this brewery is identified by its own production number, NP-23C, where NP is not known, but 23 is the year 2023, and C is March, since the months go up alphabetically from A to January. I bought a bottle of March released Nama sake in November 😁. I drink it cold. The color is light for an aged sake, just enough yellow to be discernible. The aroma is sweet and mature, like burnt caramel. It also has a honey-like flavor. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light, and the flavor has the extremes of sweetness and nuttiness that are typical of a matured wine. After swallowing, the matured aroma lingering in the nose expands and the concentrated sweet and delicious taste increases. A bit of sourness at the end. It has the juiciness and depth of a pure sake, and is rich, mellow, and delicious. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Polishing ratio:60% Flattened rice Rice used: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Alcohol Content:16% Alcoholic Beverage

Local sake from Kazuno City. Akita Sake Komachi x AKITA Yukiguni Yeast The aroma is fruity 🎶. The astringent aftertaste further enhances the lingering taste🎶. This makes me want to try Chitose-mori's other sake.

The aroma is not as strong as advertised. However, the balance of sweetness, richness, and acidity is to my liking. There is no bitterness and a slight taste of rice. Very easy to drink. I like it the best among the 3 sake tasting sets.

As the name "super dry" suggests, there is no sweetness at all. It has no peculiarity in the mouthfeel and can be swallowed easily.

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 😃.

I didn't go to the brewery, but I haven't seen Kyushu Chrysanthemum in Tokyo either, so this will be a first for me. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, there is a slight bitterness and a strong sweet umami taste that is typical of nama sake. This is a honjozo sake, but it is a very good sake that does not feel like it has been alkaloated. The price is also very reasonable at around 1,300 yen for a five-pack. In Tokyo, you only see gougo bottles of kenrishi or shochu 🤔. I wonder if it is more common in the west?

This is a new release from the sake brewery closest to my house. I was curious about this sake because it was made by locally grown Omachi, so I bought it. It's rather refreshing and a bit lacking in the traditional sake taste 🤔. I tried it warmed up on the instagram of the liquor store where I bought it, and it was great! The flavor opened up and it tasted great. I'm glad to see local sake trying different things 👍Thank you for the food 🙏.

Purchased at a liquor store near Kokura Station The label with a strong sense of specialness caught my attention. I left it at room temperature for about 5 months, missing the fact that it needed to be refrigerated. (immediately after opening the package) Drink it cold. Slightly yellowish but clear Strong aroma of maturity with sweetness. Sourness on the palate The palate is immediately filled with a richness and at the same time, a strong dryness appears. The aftertaste is medium. The aftertaste is surprisingly light. The rich taste is very tasty. Although it is rich, it goes well with sashimi.

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Slightly carbonated with a sweet taste. This is good. Best on such a hot day! (Mountain Climb + 10 km Chojabaru Run) A refreshing sparkling Daiginjo. One I bought when I went to Ikaho. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were not able to make it due to health problems. **....
