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.

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

After buying some sake at Sukumasa, we left the store and were greeted with rain and winds like we've never experienced before. I thought to myself, "This is a typhoon," but my umbrella was overturned and my shoes and pants were soaking wet💦. If only I had bothered a little more at Sukumasa, maybe I wouldn't have gotten wet 🤣. Moved to Namba and went to Takashimaya while watching the liquor section of Ikari supermarket. MURASHIGE SHUZO who brought a strange sake that was dry but sour at last year's Takashimaya Sake Festival! I heard that the perverted sake was sold out, so the main sake was Kinkan Kuromatsu. We drank Junmai Daiginjo It is labeled as -8 on the sake meter, but it has a classic taste with not so much sweetness. It tastes not like a daiginjo and is very unique. It looks good heated up. A little nutty? Junmai I heard it's a sake for evening drinking, but it has a lot of acidity. This is also a classic, but it has acidity and is easy to drink. Junmai Ginjo Less acidic than Junmai. The most orthodox, but not memorable. Junmai Daiginjo Nishiki Beautiful taste, but less flamboyant. I also tasted a 1 year old junmai from MURASHIGE and 3 types of EIGHT KOTT, and bought the test brew of EIGHT KOTT because it was delicious 😋. Finally, I stopped by the sake department of EDION and went home 😊.

Bacchus and Yamaha 2023, Toyama Eki-naka BAR ^ ^. The fourth drink is Narimasa, Junmai Daiginjo, 2021 Sake Brewing Year. 2 years old sake. Every sake at Narimasa is 100 yen per glass. Too cheap. I didn't really feel the sense of maturity, but it is a slightly dry sake with a long aftertaste.

Japanese>English

The freshness of the sweetness spreads. Sourness comes into play at the end. Scented! Yummy 😋 Very good 👍 lol.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Nanto City Purchased at an antenna store in Toyama Prefecture The aroma is mild, slightly fruity. The overall impression is DRY. The finish is moderately bitter and spicy. It is a good food sake.

Rice used is something from Kasama That's one word for the wonderful ‼️. I feel it's sophisticated and seamless. Full of flavor with a clean aftertaste. The price is high, but the level is also quite high. ‼️

Oh, my goodness! Sweet, sweet, sweet! Full of the taste of rice

Today, a Junmai Daiginjo Yamazakura Momo (YASURA) from Sudo Honke in Ibaraki Prefecture: ❗️ The aroma is faintly like old sake. The first sip has a dense texture on the tongue. After that, it has a numbness and a deep flavor like old sake. ❗️The sake we drank this time was last year's sake, so it was a nama-zake, but it didn't have much of a nama-zake feel. ❗️❗️

[Breath] Delicious 😋. You can feel the mellowness of the sake and the deliciousness of the rice! It's not a food sake, but a sake to be enjoyed with a little bit of wine! I want to buy it again. Inahana sake suits me. I want to try another one. It makes me feel like that ^_^.

Japanese>English

Chiba Prefecture! There are many good sake! (I am not from Chiba Prefecture) Now, Inahana Sake Brewery. It is a small sake brewery in Joso Ichinomiya, but they do not sell their sake to outside customers! It may look like you are not allowed to enter the premises of the brewery, but you can enter without any problem. The sake we tried this time. At the moment of drinking, you may feel that the sake is a bit thin. But after a little while, the sake's delicious flavor and sweetness come to the surface! Interesting! It seems that this sake is not widely available, but if you have a chance to try it, please do so! There was also another sake that was twice as tasty if you shook the bottle after drinking it normally! I'll have to buy some next time,

The second drink at Marukoma was my first "Koshu". It is light and crisp with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The second sake was "Koshu", which is also from Niigata but has a different flavor from the "Hokusetsu" that we drank for the first sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

This Sake is light and not too sweet. There are herbal flavor notes like licorice and mint. The finish is clean with a light mineral aftertaste. I am told this is a limited, seasonal Sake.

. Sake rice: Niigata-grown Senjyuraku Polishing ratio: 55 Sake degree: +4 Acidity: 1.1 Sake made by Asahi Shuzo, the brewer of Kubota At "Honokuni" in the main station of Toyohashi Fruity, no sourness or bitterness at all. Flavor is clean and quite weak! ☆ 3.5

This is my first time in Kumi no Ura. I've only seen it at Isetan Kyoto. It has a fruity aroma, light and refreshingly sweet. It seems to be popular among women. It is different from the impression on the label.

Japanese>English

I drank Kumi no Ura a long time ago, but it made little impression on me. I tried to remember it well this time, but my memory is not so good in this area😅. I think it was dry and refreshing, made with Koshihikari rice.

Japanese>English

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a dry sake with a very thick core flavor and a lot of graininess! If you like strong dry sake, this is the one for you! I was traumatized because I was surrounded by jellyfish when I jumped into Kumihama from the wharf a long time ago. Thank you very much!

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima This is a light flavor. It has a moderate alcohol content, a slight sweetness, and a crisp finish. It was a good food sake that can be drunk without hesitation. ❣️

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be pressed on the morning of Risshun 🍶. The aroma on the nose is fruity🍍 and sweet. When you take it into your mouth, it has a deep, mild sweetness and umami that is typical for a draft sake, and it finishes with a slight astringent taste. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I was aware that it was originally intended to be a classic sake, but as I expected from a sake pressed in the morning of Risshun, it was a fresh, elegant, and sweet sake with a great aroma. I was very satisfied with the sake, which tasted even better than I had imagined.

Japanese>English

Kikuhime, a famous sake from Ishikawa As the name suggests, it has a light mouthfeel and is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a local liquor store for heating. Warmed to lukewarm 43 degrees. The aroma is of sweet rice with a hint of matured acidity. A sip reveals a gentle sweetness that fills the mouth, followed by sourness and a slight bitterness at the end. The sweetness does not linger and has a good sharpness. It is made with Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, and the rice is delicious and even elegant. Another delicious heated sake.
