I got it by the hometown tax payment of Fujieda city. The taste of fluffy rice. You can feel the history of Hatsukame Brewery, which was founded in 1636. It has a firm sharpness and is suitable for sipping. By the way, the one I drank I drank last year's fire-retarded version. This year, it has been upgraded to unfiltered raw sake This year, it seems to have been upgraded.

Yes, I am, I bought some fish paste in Kaminoseki in the neighboring prefecture of Yamaguchi, Then, I bought sake and sake from the same Yamaguchi Prefecture, although they are from different regions, We went to a supermarket to buy sake, When I saw the label of new sake, I bought it immediately. It is my favorite sake because it has a weak spiciness and the umami and flavor of the rice are very assertive, as is typical of new sake. I want to stock up on it, Today's beer, Suntory's Premol with a seductive aroma. I thought it had a strong aroma. I thought it might have a strong aroma, but it didn't. It was easy to drink with weak bitterness and weak aroma, It was easy to drink with weak bitterness and weak aroma, and although it was a little lackluster, it was a delicious beer.

We recently visited MURASHIGE SHUZO in Iwakuni City. This is Uraginkan Kuromatsu, a limited edition sake from that brewery. When poured into a glass, the color was more golden than yellow, and the aroma was rich with a hint of caramel 😀 It was a matured sake. It was a matured sake, like a so-called "matured sake" 😀. It's not likely that we would ever choose such a sake at home, but this time we took it home because it was a limited edition from the brewery 😀. It tasted rich, thick and sweet 🤣. I compared the taste of the cold sake and the room temperature sake, and while the cold sake tasted a bit angular, the room temperature sake tasted rounder and tastier with a touch of rice 😀.

Japanese>English

Sake brewery next to Shinkansen Shin-Iwakuni Station When poured into a glass, the aroma is subdued. The aroma is slightly sweet and slightly powdery. When you drink from the top clear liquid, you will taste a strong acidity. The sweetness is moderate. When the nigori is mixed in, it has a slightly creamy texture and sweetness. The acidity is the main flavor throughout.

It is characterized by its lack of character." Yamada-Nishiki 20% ? 80%? Clear and easy to drink. The most refreshing sake I've ever had, with absolutely no cloying taste.

The aroma was fruity and the taste was apple and grape-like, but I remember it was like a white wine without any astringency or bitterness.

Japanese>English

Fresh apple-like aroma. In the mouth, chili green apple, fresh sweet and sour of muscat. If you don't have low alcohol like this, you may be a little concerned about the alcohol taste, but it is delicious.

A little harsh? But it's the Gifu Fan Club. The atmosphere is a little different from that of Hime.

Tonight, a little early in the evening & first in the series, a Fukunoka Yamahai Jungin Nakakkumi Unfiltered Nama from Kunigon ✨. The aroma is mild cucumber, melon 🍈 The taste has just the right amount of rice and honey-like sweetness, followed by a layer of acidity and spiciness that makes it very easy to drink and I love it 😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

With Ihyakumangoku and Fukushima's original yeast, there is nothing to look forward to but enjoyment. Is the modest fruity taste from Gohyakumangoku? It is mellow like an autumn sake. But it is sharp.

Japanese>English

I couldn't go anywhere during the second half of GW because I had to stay at home. So on the last day, I will just enjoy the feeling of traveling with this cup of sake. It has an alcoholic taste, but it is sweet and easy to drink. Since it is a Hokkaido sake, we also had some delicacies that Men-chan gave us. Thank you very much.

Very sake smelling, classic (not a pretty taste despite its appearance).

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

Japanese>English

Kobayashi Shuzo Honten is located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This is also my first time here 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. Delicious 🍶✨.

Opening on December 1, 2025 Hometown #9. Soft-ooooo soft ‼️ It flows down your throat before you know it🚿. Is it a little spicy? It's a little spicy, but it's not too spicy. This is 👍 whether it is a food sake or an evening drink. However, it is indeed too gentle!

We opened a bottle of Daikoku that we bought today at Kado-ya Sake Shop. It is said that this sake is brewed with 100% Yamada Nishiki harvested in a special area of Hyogo Prefecture. It's rich and dry. The rich taste in the mouth and the long lingering spiciness are exquisite. I think it's a very cost effective sake.

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Daikoku Masamune at home. I bought it at the direct sales counter of the brewery. The aroma is mild, but the taste is fresh and fruity. It was really good even when it was heated. The reinforced concrete brewery was demolished due to old age, and a prefabricated direct sales store was built on the site, with the rest of the land used for a convenience store and Marugame Seimen noodles. The rest of the land is used for convenience stores, Marugame Seimen noodles, etc. Now they are brewing in a rented part of Hakutsuru Brewery. At the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the wooden warehouse collapsed, and the site of the warehouse was turned into an apartment building, which was named Daikoku Royal Heights.

Japanese>English

Daikoku Masamune Junmai Ginjo Hyogo Yume Nishiki I like this sake very much😍. Calm and soft umami on the palate 😌. Gentle spiciness with a clean finish 😊. Overall, it's very cohesive and delicious 😋️‼️. The Sengoku I drank with it made me feel like a bit of a yankee 😆. Sweet and juicy is good, but I guess I prefer light and dry 🥰🥰. The last one I drank was also good, but This Daikoku Masamune was excellent👍🤣‼️.

Ibaraki Local Sake Tour Made with 100% Hitachinishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing. Both the rice and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Refreshing, light, and slightly fruity. Serve with strawberries and mashed baked potatoes.

Japanese>English

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Japanese>English

Hinode Tsuru Junmai Ginjyo Miyamanishiki 60% 15% 720ml 1980yen We also bought a bottle of Honjozo at the brewery, but it was a completely different impression. The Honjozo was a little peculiar. This one is bitter with concentrated flavor and acidity. It is not at all dull. It is not flashy, but rather calm and delicate. The sweetness is graceful and has the taste of a first-class sake. The rice is local Miyamanishiki from Hitachiota. I found out that the heir who returned to his hometown had designed, brewed, and engineered the sake in a new attempt. I guess old-fashioned sake is fine, but only a handful of businesses are at the forefront of it. This sake made me want to support new attempts. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240317

Morishima Sake Brewery. "Make the time you spend drinking sake a happier time." Nice words 🎵. It's a refreshing sake with a delicious rice flavor. It also has a refreshing taste. Thanks to the owner's courteous service, I will have another cup tonight.

Morishima Shuzo Fuji-Taikan Yamadanishiki Junmai Shinshu Shiboritate Nama Shu 720ml Alcohol 15%. Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 65 When I came to buy the next one from Abe-san, it caught my eye and I bought it immediately and opened the bottle ^ ^. The first attack is very characteristic. The sweetness soaks through all at once. I thought it was a little too sweet, but then I took a second sip. The second sip. What? You don't feel the sweetness? It's delicious, isn't it? I would like to repeat a bottle, but I think there are only two bottles left. I don't have enough space in my fridge, so I'll give up.
