(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

This is Hiroshima sake we received as a gift. It is also delicious! The first glass was dry and sharp, but from the second glass, I could taste the fruity flavor of muscat...I guess. 300ml is just right too (lol). Local sake is fun, isn't it? Thank you for the sake! We will definitely win...Carp!

Huh? I thought I bought one cup, but I can't find it, In, I bought more of this alcohol. More? The first day, we served soba noodles from the same area. Instead of using the accompanying dipping sauce, we combined daikon radish soup with miso and served it with oshibori soba, It is a take on the oshibori udon noodles I made before. Don't tell me that the best combination this time was daikon radish and Brussels sprouts dip, Was the miso good? Thank you very much for the delicious sake.

At a soba noodle restaurant, my husband had a little share of the drink.â Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15 Classic taste of rice flavor. It has a twangy feeling, but when drunk with chicken tempura, it tastes just right and is delicious ♡♡♡♡♡♡. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are paintings that are OK to photograph ✨.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown It is a unique sake. The palate has a moderate sweetness, but not so much that it can be described as dry. The umami spreads slowly, The acidity is very effective and tight. It is not peculiar, but it is a type that cannot be tasted anywhere else. I like this balance and sense of taste. Interesting sake, I found it: ❣️

Japanese>English

This is also our first time to visit this brewery. I'm glad to see that they have a lot of unpasteurized sake. I completely forgot about the bad things at work and went into drinking mode. Just like the label on the back, this sake has a lot of flavor, but it's not heavy. Even though it was nigori, it didn't feel sloppy. It was an easy to drink sake.

The sake rice is Hitomebore, and the name Hitonatsu no Koi is interesting. The taste is sharp and crisp, and you can enjoy the story while imagining how it is a love that makes you yearn for a flower of high peak. Serve with dashimaki (Japanese soup stock rolls) as a side dish.

It is a refreshing and easy to drink sake. It has no aftertaste, and is exactly suited for a mealtime drink 🎵I was attracted by the label.

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

Japanese>English

Peach aroma before drinking, peach and strawberry-like sweetness on the palate with a hint of bitterness from the sake. I like it very much.

It is a little spicy, and when you drink it, your tongue tingles. However, it quickly disappears and the aftertaste is refreshing. I got a promotion, albeit a very small one. Here's to my past self. And here's to my future self. I will continue to do my best!

Paid tasting, a bit expensive at 400 yen, but the surprising ginjo aroma, muscat-like taste and gentle flavor were delicious. It was nice to see replicas of the display of colored papers of successive prime ministers pasted on the wall, showing their individuality. A web search revealed that Fukubito is I found on the Web that Fukubito was the first sake brewery in Japan established in 1917 as a joint-stock company by investment from sake brewing companies mainly in western Japan.

Purchased during a visit to a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima. When the bottle was opened, it smelled a little like magic ink. It tastes sweet like white sugar and has a relaxing flavor. It was different from the tasting. It tastes good, but... On the second day, it tastes just like I tasted it at the brewery. It is delicious with well-balanced flavor 😊.

Japanese>English

Last Sake on the Second Night of Hiroshima Night It is said to be a limited edition sake for the district. After drinking so much, I honestly don't remember much about it, It's a solid, rich sake. I had the impression that it had a slight rice flavor... I was under the impression that it was a little ricey... Hiroshima Night is now over: ☑️

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 ✨.

Igarashi Sake Brewery in Hanno City, Saitama Junmai Daiginjo. The rice for the sake is Kitashizuku🌾。 This is a limited edition of 600 bottles stored at freezing temperatures (-5 degrees Celsius) for 5 months, and I want to drink it 💦 This is a small 180ml bottle at Yokouchi Sake Shop Drinking Comparison Day. So_1F350 A little gassy, like a summer drink. The mouth is a little hot 🔥. It's hard to describe, but it's sweet and spicy. 16% alcohol and 47% rice polishing ratio

Japanese>English

Purchased in Nerima Ward, Tokyo ♪ Alcohol content@16 Sake degree @ Undisclosed Acidity @ Undisclosed Rice used: Undisclosed Rice Polishing Ratio@Undisclosed Personal Recommendation@3.8/5.0 Fusui is the third brand of Igarashi Shuzo following Tenranzan and Igarashi. ❣️ A fire-brewed, undiluted blend of the three Junmai Daiginjo, Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Sake in the Fusui series 😍. Now Igarashi Sake Brewery is complete 😝. It's not a draft sake, but it needs to be refrigerated, but it's delicious warmed up too ❓❓❓❓ but I can't drink heated sake on this hot day, so I'll drink it chilled to a crisp. ✌️ The aroma is mild but apple-like. It's not gassy at all. Igarashi is known for its gasiness when pumped directly from the bottle. It has a slight sweetness in the mouth 👄. And a slight bitterness that spreads 👄. This is a well-balanced sake, It doesn't have any outstanding characteristics, but as a food sake, I would give it an acceptable score. ✌️

It is an easy-drinking sake with a clear sense of rice. You deliver this sake to the Ise Jingu Shrine, don't you? I'm going to drink it to purify my body.

Japanese>English

Visiting Ise with my wife's parents! (We just went there last October 😅) Geku shrine → Sarutahiko shrine → lunch at Ise Kaku Uchingu restaurant → around the inner shrine and back to the inn for my parents and to Ise Man for myself and my wife 😁. This time, due to the space in our fridge (and budget), we only tasted the raw sake! It was refreshing and delicious 😋😋😋.
