This Sake is mild and has some dryness. It has a mild flavor of apple and a clean finish. It goes very well with the hamachi kama my wife made. Yum! 😊

This Sake is mild and slightly dry. Clean and balanced with a light taste of apple. Easy to drink with a light mouth feel. Every sip is delicious and it does not dull my taste buds. Yummy!

Since I'm here, I wanted to keep a record of my past drinking, so please excuse the staggered posting: 🙇‍♂️

Japanese>English

Hyogo Prefecture Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi Rice polishing ratio Alcohol 17.5 Junmai sake from Kenbishi. As a Junmai sake drinker, I really wanted to have a Junmai sake from Kenbishi, so I bought it online. The color is light amber. The matured flavor reminds me of chocolate aroma. It is a solid sake with a great posture.

Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai I could not forget to participate this year: ‼️ Rice used is unknown Juicy and soft on the palate. The richness is low-pasteurized, which I like. The aftertaste is moderately bitter, which is also good. ❣️

I recently went to my favorite liquor store and bought a rare out-of-prefecture sake! I bought it at a liquor store I go to recently because it was from outside the prefecture. It's good, though 😋 The feeling that lingers in the back of your throat after drinking it may be perfect for the coming season.

Temperature Estimated 5°C (refrigerator) Taste 60 Color Gold like apple juice Nose: The aroma is of ham and smokiness with a slight sourness. On the palate, the smokiness is quite strong. Taste: Smoked cheese with aroma. On the palate, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are in good balance. The aftertaste is bitter. Overall impression: A type of cheese for different tastes. Not my favorite.

It was the month before last, but I finally landed in Kyushu for the first time. I drank "Tenshin Tokujun" at an izakaya I went to alone as soon as I arrived, and it was delicious. ‼️ I met up with my friends from Hokkaido a few hours later and had another drink! Kyushu Kiku! The label makes you feel like you're in Kyushu 😊It's a little classical, light and spicy, and it makes you want to eat more 😋The "Nuka-daki", which is fish cooked with rice bran, is also good 👍. I liked the Gundam Base that opened at New Chitose Airport before landing in Kyushu.

This will be 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 you don't feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

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.

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. ‼️

It has a ginjo aroma and umami flavor, but it also has a crisp, clean feel to it. It is just right for drinking. I bought it at a standing bar at Mito Station and drank it at the hotel.

Yasube poured sake from the Sudo Honke, the oldest sake brewery in Japan. The sake was refreshing and had a rich umami flavor. It was a sake that I would like to try drinking warmed.

This is a Saturday story. We moved on from Ojinja Shrine. We arrived at Imai-cho, where the old townscape remains. We mainly went for a walk, but of course we stopped by Kawai Sake Brewery! This building is also full of nostalgic atmosphere. I had my autograph pen at the ready, hoping to have a chance to meet the brewer. But, no luck. No one was there. The tasting fee is only available during peak season," he said. In the end, we bought only a cup of sake and left the brewery. I had a cup of sake! Yes, it is delicious! It has a classic flavor, but it's clean and non-habitual. It also tastes a little sweet. It was gone in no time at all. This looks like it would go great with food.

It was time for a very late lunch. The long-awaited Nagashi Somen! All tables are equipped with a circular Nagashi Somen machine. It must be Instagram-worthy! We laughed at this! Since we were there, we had some sake. Nara sake is on the menu. I ordered "Unebi," a name I didn't know. Oh, it's a sake from Mr. Izumio~! It's Naminami Monokiri. Thank you! It's a solid sake! Goes well with tempura. Local sake is the best! After this, we moved to Imai-cho. I was surprised to see that the station I got off at was Unebi station. I was surprised to get off at Unebi station.

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.
