Today is the first one, Shirakagesen. At first I thought the acidity was too strong, but after the second glass it became normal. It goes well with meat, and it's delicious after all.

Finished eating shish-kebabs Take a nap at the hotel An hour before the end of the lounge service, I popped into the lounge. I had heard from the front desk that they serve alcohol, so I rushed over to the lounge. Sake was available! This brand from Imai-cho, Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, is called "Deze Otoko"! Unebi or Unebi? On the rocks with ice in the glass! It has more punch than expected! I drank it in small sips, but in the second half I drank it with ginger ale, which is not a good idea! Maybe it is better to drink it hot! Tomorrow we will visit Nara's Yamato Sanzan (three mountains in the Yamato region), and then we will make it to Wakayama in the evening. Do you think we have enough time to get to Koyasan?

I opened a bottle of Banzairaku Daiginjo Kosake, which was a gift from a friend 😀 The aroma is that of a royal sake. The taste is quite strong. It's the second time I've had it, but it's a difficult taste to describe. Tomorrow I'll try it at room temperature.

The spoils of my business trip to Aomori‼️. Light, refreshing, fruity 🍶🌸✨. Tangy on the tip of the tongue! Easy to drink❗️ Super oicy ❕️! I'm enjoying it very much.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Hanabukiyuki Easy to drink and refreshing. In other words, it is well-balanced.

Japanese>English

This will be my first time at Shirakami no Dagu. The top aroma is of plain yogurt with a hint of acidity. When you put it in your mouth, it has a slightly carbonic acidic taste. The sweetness is moderate, but the refreshing sourness and sweetness of the rice. It was refreshing and delicious 🍶✨️

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

Sashi-Drinking with an old friend at an izakaya after a long time. We chose our first sake. I remember it went down smoothly...

Japanese>English

Yesterday, I went to my favorite izakaya "我" ♡♡♡. I drank a variety of drinks in the all-you-can-drink 1 hour 1500 yen (*^^*) It was crowded, so I couldn't order at a high pitch, so I could only drink 9 kinds out of the 20 or so available...(-_-...) The 6th drink was "Miho". Oroku" and "Gassan" are the most famous sake from Shimane, so I haven't had many of the others. It has a strong sense of rice, but it's not mellow or fruity. I'm sure you'll love it. *I love it!

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

Japanese>English

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Japanese>English

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️
