It has a refreshing aftertaste. It seems to go well with sashimi. It was easy to drink and tasty too.

Tonight at our usual izakaya: ❗️ Bring your own drinks with this guy: ⤴️😆 Refreshing, mellow, fruity🌸🍶✨ Sweet and delicious 🐴, spicy and oicy ❕. It has a great balance 😆. While rehabilitating from last night's overindulgence, I'm enjoying it very much.

Japanese>English

Next, Niigata sake. In the mouth? Huh? Is it a smooth type? Is it a feeling that the flavor deepens after you gulp it down? Languaging...difficult...😓.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

Here's the rice! I'll have it hot today. 720ml ¥990 It's hot sake. Not much aroma. The mouthfeel is clear and easy to drink without getting stuck in the throat. Today's pairing is octopus and wasabi. By the way, I prefer it a little warmer than the top warmer. I plan to have it cold tomorrow!

We opened a bottle at the office. This is the first time we have had "Shirasagi no Shiro", another name for Himeji Castle. At first I drank it at room temperature, and from the second glass I drank it on the rocks, and I could feel the gentle sweetness of the sake. The taste reminded me of Tengu Mai's Yamahai brewing. I'd like to try it warmed.

Japanese>English

The location changed and we went to Hyogo Sake EXPO 2022, a local sake event in Hyogo, at Kobe Hankyu. I tasted a regular product, a draft version. I had tasted the hi-ire version before, so I wondered what the draft version was like. It was easier to drink than the hi-ire version, but not to my taste. I prefer the Shirasagi no Shiro (castle of the egret), which is made with Nojoho.

Japanese>English

The only place I can think of that uses Nojoho is Okutanba. The overall impression is gentle and the taste comes slowly. It looks like wood, grass, or herb. It also has a classy atmosphere. The sake here is not my favorite, but when I find it, I buy it for some reason.

Summer sake already. I know it's a seasonal bug, but isn't it too early for seasonal products too? It is crisp. It has a nice sharpness. It's like summer sake. Personally, I prefer it a little livelier.

Japanese>English

Special Junmai-shu with 60% polished rice ratio This sake is brewed by the method called "Jusui-Jikomi". When poured into a glass, there is a strong ginjo aroma at first. When you take a sip, it is mellow and full. It is full of umami and sweetness, and has a rich taste. It's a flavor that will knock your socks off! This is a limited version of "Tokusui Junmai-shu". The sake is bottled and sealed as soon as possible after bottling, so it can only be tasted at the mouth of the tank. It is said to be a rare gem with a limited distribution. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

This Sake is nice and fruity with a grape flavor. There is a light mouth feel with a clean finish. It has a great flavor balance that goes well with any food. Yummy!

It has been a long time since I have had a Genmai. The aroma is slightly fruity, the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and the taste is sharp! Enjoying the delicious taste of Miyamanishiki....... I am enjoying it with my favorite sashimi of kibinago and isobe-age firefly squid......................

Japanese>English

Smells of grapes and oil clay. The wine has a pungent, thick, pungent, sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and pleasant to drink. The juiceiness, saliva-like flavor, and bitterness. Powerful. It is delicious! It does not become watery in the middle. A delicious sake that makes you want to eat a meal.

Japanese>English

The first touch is a gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. You can feel the slight sweetness and deliciousness. All of the Genmai are dusty 😙.

I have been curious about this one for a long time...Chuai! The slight fruity aroma characteristic of Miyamanishiki, the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the bitterness of the finish! The moderate lingering aftertaste lingers... I'm sipping it with sashimi, hamo tempura, and local edamame (green soybeans)... Yum! Delicious 😋Hatsuchuai!

Fresh, with a good balance of sweet and sour flavors

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku? The taste is lively and fresh, as only a new brew of sake can be. It claims to be dry, but it is not that dry, and has a refreshing finish that is not sweet. It has a good balance and a high cosmetic ministry. I would love to try other brands.

At home. Purchased at a souvenir shop during a recent visit to Mitsui Outlets in Ryuoh, Shiga Prefecture. It was introduced several times in "Sake-no-wa". I was so happy when I found it and bought it immediately. The aroma was gorgeous, and in the mouth it had a soft sweetness followed by a firm dryness that was crisp and refreshing. I️ would like to try it heated the next time.

Japanese>English

The bottle was immediately gassy when opened, and had an umami sweetness that was hard to believe it was dry. This sake is ideal as a food sake that goes well with meat dishes. Accompanied by fried chicken wings on skewers.

April 9, 2024 Dinner at home.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Mutsugorosan 😆 Natsu⛱. Gentle ☺️. Suddenly into the body. A little creamy. Like Pocari after sweating. A little dryer in a cup than on a flat plate. The picture on the label is Mutsugorouno from Ariake Sea 😅 Paired with pickled sardines with sesame vinegar. It's also excellent 🎉. KUITTO@Yono 20230819

Arrival at today's inn. We will have a yakimugi bento (barley lunch box) bought at Tosu station on the way to the hotel! When the bottle is opened, it has a pudding-like aroma. It has a mild, pudding or custard-like flavor, just like the standing aroma, and the soft, round sweetness is really pleasant! The tanginess of the brewing alcohol can be felt directly afterwards, but it can be enjoyed with a good balance! I couldn't distinguish it from the one-cup sake for a moment, but it is a fine Saga sake.

Japanese>English

Drinking Past, Drinking Home November finally arrived! The label of Mutsugoro in the shape of Saga Prefecture is unique 😊. It was a bit chilly that day, so I had it at room temperature! The aroma is grain-derived flavor and acidity. On the palate Surprisingly sweet! There is enough umami and acidity, and the bitterness that comes out after a while is moderate. And the lingering aftertaste is short and finishes quickly... It's delicious 👍
