I started to drink and took out my phone to see how I felt about it, but I didn't take a picture of it 💦That's a bummer! I'm glad I didn't take them all at once💦. It's the holiday season, so I got this cup of sake 😚🍶😚🍶♪ Kapan⭐︎ and open it up, yeah, it smells great☺️💕! It's very smooth on the palate, and then suddenly it comes with a cue. Like it disappears smoothly and goes back to flat? 🤔 Don't drink too much! I'm sure I'll drink too much just like it says on the cup. Thanks for the treat 😋💕

Japanese>English

Cup with an illustration of "Alkuma," Nagano Prefecture's mascot character. With a thankful message of "Don't drink too much!" with a nice message of "Don't drink too much! The taste was fruity, but the sake was also very assertive ✨.

Souvenir after inspection in Iida City😁. Clean and refreshing taste 😍 Clean aftertaste and lingering taste ✨. You could buy it at supermarkets and convenience stores ❗️

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

Japanese>English

On this day, I drove to my wife's parents' home in Saku. When we arrived after a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Tokyo, this local sake was waiting for us. It has an ear of rice on it. I will have a sip. It has the acidity and mellowness of a sake yeast yeast strain, and is dry and crisp. Tiredness melts away.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.

Fresh Ramune Acidity Bitterness Dry

The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki It is more rough than fresh. However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly. I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere! I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

Japanese>English

Banana like aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet. After that, the dry taste or the feeling of running spreads to the mouth. There is a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is sweet. Tsuki no Ii has a new toji (brewer) this season, and they are making sake under a new system. I can't wait to see how it changes 🤗

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ㉚ Gifu ⑥ Oda Sake Brewery in Takayama City I remember drinking vacuum-packed sake at the Japanese Sake Festival. Annual shipment is 700 koku. They say they are the originator of many Onikoroshi sake breweries in Japan. I think the real brand name is Hida-boast. It's under the umbrella of Hidagura Corporation, a sake brewery revitalization company. Polishing ratio 58%, Hidahomare 18-19%, Sake degree +10, Acidity 1.9 Amino acidity 1.9, 901 yeast, 1754 yen. It tasted sharp and dry 😅.

Today, due to an event, I went near the roadside station of Fermentation Village and picked up salted fermented soybeans and five daughters and went home. Opened the bottle without difficulty, without worrying about the warning sign on the lid. Oh, isn't it fermented? Uwazumi has a sweet taste! It is not sour. Mixing and stirring, the sourness intensifies. Huh? The opposite image. I drank it up deliciously.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I would like to introduce a new sake from Terada Brewery, which I was intrigued by the collaboration with Pukupuku Brewery and wanted to try it. Gonin Musume Natural Sake, Namahashime, Junmai Sake, Strawberry Mead Barrel Aged 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓. This sake is not mead, but it is a barrel-aged strawberry mead with Terada Honke's pure rice sake. It has a very soft aroma, but the taste is also exquisite with the acidity of the sake yeast and the sweet umami of honey strawberries, a very gentle taste that sinks into the body 😌😋😋😋😋😋 The aftertaste is a little like sake, but it is like drinking dessert wine or sweet western wine. Looks like it would be good alone after dinner😃.

November 4, 2022 Evening drink at home. I finished work early, so I bought some sake and had a drink. The first bottle was The first bottle was Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu from Gonin Musume.

Another brand of Imi no Kura! They say it's the same tank as the Jun Gin from the Imi brewery. It has sourness and bitterness in the sweetness that is typical of Imi. It's like a sake-within-a-sake! I've reserved a bottle for next season and I'm looking forward to it😆.

Japanese>English

It's been a long time since I've been to Ruyi❣️. Seems like it's very busy and hard to get reservations. Here's to another reunion with old friends! We started with nigori sake. Sweet and tasty from the acidity.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this sweet and delicious sake because I forgot it was sitting here 💁. Chiyonohana Junmai Ginjo-shu Shiboritate Namazume 2024BY✨. This sake is distributed within the prefecture by Imi, but it is a junmai ginjo-type sake 🍶. The aroma is a loud ginjo aroma with a tropical pineapple aroma that is typical of Sugihara's production. The taste has a sweet and juicy impact, but the middle to bitter dryness makes it strangely light and easy to drink, which is Sugihara's magic🪄😋😋😋😋🪄😋. Really, the taste is almost the same as that of the Imi, so I am very grateful to be able to drink this one when I want to without having to fight in vain for the premium 😊.

This is a gifted Junmai Ginjo, a sake from Nagano. It's fruity but not sweet in the mouth, and it has a crisp and well-balanced bitterness... This quality goes well with "X" cuisine, not just raw sake.

Japanese>English

Warmed. The spiciness with the umami is crisp.

Japanese>English

This is the fifth brewery in Saku's sake brewery series. This is a rare bottle as it has recently met with a fire and is closed. We happened to find it at a one-day spa and secured it. It has a strong bitterness and acidity, with a tangy mouthfeel. It also has a sweetness, so it is not harsh. It is the best sake from Saku so far. It's a shame that we won't be able to taste it for a while. I hope they will do their best to bring it back.

I opened the lid and sniffed it... I liked it even before I drank it because of the nice aroma of koji like amazake! I thought ^ ^ Sip it with salted butter dorayaki and dry snacks 🍶. Yes, it's still delicious...my kind of sake ^ ^ ^.

Kashima Shrine, Ikisu Shrine, Katori Shrine I visited and bought from the three shrines of Eastern Japan! This time we got Katori! Junmai Natural Sake 80 I've never tasted sake like this before! Sweet aroma? The aroma of bread? The taste is strong and robust. The sourness and richness are similar to coffee... That's just my personal opinion😜. What the heck, I just finished 300mls! LOL! It is a divine drink 😁.

I messed up with the Terada family.... It's perfect for heating up.

Tonight, it's Hochotsuuru from Yamaguchi Prefecture in the 8th installment of our first series & muddy pick ✨. 100% Yamadanishiki, 50% polished rice, 17% alcohol by volume 🍶 Almost no gas when the bottle is opened. The aroma has a gentle sugary sweetness, and the mouthfeel is characterized by a sweet flavor and a soft sake quality. When mixed with the lees, it is milky without lactic acidity🥛 and full-bodied with a spicy taste😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

(It is very spicy and dry. It's very dry and spicy, but it's also very tasty when heated. Warmed to lukewarm, it's a little more mature. Each temperature range has its own effect. I'm a big fan of super dry sake, and this one is right in the middle of the pack. Mr. Ota is in Shimoda again! He was eating sea bream rice cake! I knew Izu was great!

Japanese>English

I'm buying some kind of Hochodzuru. Fresh and corked! It's a slightly dry, sharp junmai nama sake. Cheese goes well with it. It's sharp and can be warmed up. Mr. Ota's second bottle from Fukuejima! The craft gin looked good, but it was too expensive...

(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Izumibashi today 😀. I can hardly smell the aroma 🤔I can taste the robust umami and slight sweetness on the palate 😚It's so refreshing and easy to drink 😊. It also seems to be recommended to be heated on the back, so I'm going to give it a try even though it's hot ✨. The aroma has opened up with umami aroma 😄It becomes smooth and delicious on the palate and the aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly 😋. Both were delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

This new brew has a pleasant lightness and freshness. It had a slight sweetness and a fruitiness to it. It also has a complex taste, I guess you could say it's full-bodied. I can't help but drink it! A rustic snowman is also very cute É It looks cloudy, but it's not nigorizake. Rakufumai is a brand of rice. It seems to be a light sake. Day 3, the sweetness and acidity is a little stronger now! Day 4, more flavor! Yummy.
