The fourth cup was "Asakayousei"! I was curious about this one, as I have only seen Shiga sake such as "Shichibonjari" and "Shoki Shoki". The aroma is apple-like. The mouthfeel is fresh, with a gaseous and hinted aroma that reminds me of a tank! The sweet and sour taste of green apple and the overflowing flavor is addictive ✨.

Same brand Sake rice difference Autumn Poem - Kitafuneji Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu The Mizukagami I mentioned earlier had yeast 1801, which I liked. This Autumn Poem is a hiyaoshi (cold sake)?

The sake in the upper row, the manager himself seems to have examined what he was interested in at the liquor store and brought it in! Asamegosei? Two kinds of sake I don't know! Drink, drink, drink 🍶🍶! This one is a little lighter than the last Hiyayogoshi, and has a delicious sweetness that I like! Chewy deep-fried squid with shichimi from Kyoto! Drinking sweet and tasty sake while eating it hot! I'm so happy 😀! Knowledge The name of the sake is Asajiwo In the 100th verse, it's Asadifu Asakayo no ono no shinohara shinobu, but not too much, etc., Hito no koishiki" by Minamoto no Hitoshi, a councilor, etc. Sake meter (sweetness/spiciness) -2 Acidity (light and dark) 1.6 Rice polishing ratio 55 Amino acidity (richness) 0.6 Rice used: Mizukagami produced in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture Alcohol content 17 Yeast: Association 1801

The taste is rich but light on the palate. It is even softer when heated. It has a moderate aromatic richness and a little bit of spiciness. It has a good balance and can be served with a wide range of food. It is a limited edition sake, but it has a standard taste. Mr. Ota lives in Kamakura. I was there just two and a half months ago, so I missed it a lot! Once again, Kamakura is a wonderful place! The restaurants that were introduced to us were all very unique and the food looked delicious!

Japanese>English

I bought this Wakaba unfiltered sake in the summer and felt it was still young, so I let it sleep in the closet. It has a good balance of flavor, with the punch of unfiltered sake, but without losing the simple country feel of Wakaba. I put it in the closet again, but it was good enough. It's not Wakaba, but Higuchi Shinyo, a triple axel that is anything but rustic! The ROC is still very difficult, but I hope the Japanese will do their best to get on the podium!

Japanese>English

(The regular product has a ripeness, but this one is relatively refined. It looks light but has a solid core, and there is still a sense of ripeness in the back. It shows its full potential when heated. The richness comes out well. When it cools down, the sweetness comes out well. I bought it from a sake brewer, and when I asked for sakekasu, they gave me a lot of it! Maybe it's because I buy from the sake brewer sometimes. It is very delicious when it is baked!

The rice used is Yamadanishiki and Shunyo. This is Izumo no Kuni's newest brewery, created (reborn) last year. Naturally, it was the first time for us to visit. The image of sake in this area is that of powerful sake-like sake, all of which are unique. This sake is unique in the sense that it is, but the image has been overturned. It is very fruity and lightly sweet and sour, with a pleasant citrus bitterness spreading from the sweetness and acidity. The mouthfeel is clear and crisp. It is a wonderful bottle as a food sake. ❣️ We will keep an eye on it in the future: ‼️

Japanese>English

Overall 9 (out of 10) I had my first Shimane sake 🍶😃. I got it from Pekho-san. According to the description of the sake shop It's a "fruity and full of flavor" sake! Delicious 😋. It is a light, astringent and delicious 🍶. More of a sense of breadth than a sense of depth. Simple and straight rather than complex and harmonious Consistent throughout rather than a change in flavor. The astringency brings out the umami of the rice in a good way. I got such an impression 😋. It was gone in no time at all😅 I served it chilled. The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows. 　-Aroma: A strong aroma of rice. 　-Aroma: Slightly astringent taste that passes through the nose. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum) 　-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1 　-Rice flavor: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt】→3 Small number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

I went to Tabe Takeshita Sake Brewery and Sake Brewery Museum 😆. But all the sake was sold out there 😭 So I went to a liquor store that sells this sake and bought Rihachi👍. I wanted to drink it and I couldn't bear to end up not being able to buy it 😣. But I'm glad I was able to buy it safely 😌. I've had this drink before and I know it's good, so I feel safe drinking it 😌. I wasn't sure whether to buy Rihachi's white label or black label, but this time I went with this one ✨. It's consistently delicious 😋.

This is my first New Year's Day back in my hometown Osaka. This year, my parents invited us to their department store Osechi. My sister and her husband brought me a bottle of Okutanba as a celebratory sake. You can feel the sweetness of the rice in the beginning, but it changes to a dry taste in the middle to the end. It is a perfect match for the richly flavored Osechi and fatty yellowtail sashimi. It is said that the sake degree is +5 (dry), but I feel that it is +2~3 (slightly dry?). I guess. Anyway, it was a delicious sake. Thanks to my sister and her husband!

Japanese>English

The sake my sister and her husband served me at New Year's was so good that I decided to pick up another brand from the same brewery. Okutanba Junmai Ginjo. This is Yamana Shuzo's regular sake. As stated on the label, the brewery has a long history, having been founded in Kyoho. The Edo period (^_^;) is amazing. It was my wife's fourth birthday today. I really wanted to go out to eat, but the situation was such that we had a takeout party at a yakitori restaurant and drank at home. Thank you for your continued support. I had a cold glass of sake. Oh, dry? It's been a while since I've had a dry, crisp sake. Even though it's light and refreshing, you can still feel the taste of the rice right after you put it in your mouth. At the same time, there is a sense of alcohol, but the aftertaste is short, so it gives a refreshing impression. According to the brewery's website, it has a sake strength of +1. ＋Hmm? +1? It's not dry, is it? Once again, I realized that the accuracy of my tongue sensor is disappointing (tears). Well, everyone has their own way of feeling.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Okutanba 🍶The aroma is subdued, the sake is light and clean, with a soft sweetness and a short, sharp finish 😊It goes well with Kaisendon, another bottle I want to drink again ✨.

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 😋😋😋😋.

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.

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827
