I've been making my way to restaurants with good service lately. Today they served me a fresh aged sake. Today is February 6. This is my first Kinkame. My first impression was that it was very good! Next, it has a strong umakuchi taste. The acidity at the end is good, just like Yamadataro. It is like a light kijoshu, and it is delicious. Shiga is nice.

Japanese>English

This one has a milling ratio of 80. Full of sweetness! It spreads slowly in the mouth.

Japanese>English

In Sakewa, there are two separate brands, Kinkame and Kinkame, which is the correct one to register? Kinkame's "Drink this" is 70% polished. It has umami, richness, and a moderately classic feel. This is also a delicious sake.

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!

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.

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 🤗

@sakebar Fukuzo Fire-brewed sake using Fukuoka Prefecture's original yeast called F44. Slightly sweet aroma of 🍍 on the nose. The palate is slightly sweet with a hint of 🍍. The aroma is as if it was made with hana-yosuyu in mind. However, the aroma is weak because it is fire-aged. The sweetness is also weak due to the weak aroma. I am a little curious to see how it would be like if it were a fresh sake. It was delicious ✨🍍.

This is a seasonal sake from spring to summer of Onikoroshi, the main brand of the Uota Shuzo brewery. It is a junmai daiginjo unfiltered raw sake that is stored in a snow cellar. It is sold at the brewery, at a roadside station in Kiyomi, Takayama City, and at supermarkets in Takayama City. The color is hazy with lees, and it has a rich aroma of rice like doburoku. The rich flavor is reminiscent of onikoroshi, and the sweetness spreads out from the rich umami. It is one of Misobagi's favorites with a long-lasting aftertaste.

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 😅.

This Sake is amber color and has a full mouth feel. The flavor of dates gives this a sweet overall taste and the cedar provides sophistication. There is also some acidity that gives this a clean, dry finish. 🧐

Yamahai Junmai Nigori🍶 Yamadanishiki from Itoshima🌾. Bitter and delicious ✨. Dry. Less flabby than it looks. The bitterness is diluted a little by the squid. Gives a grassy feel. Shrimp cheese spring roll 🦐🧀 with chili sauce makes it sweet 😅Omoro 😆. Sea and @ Takadanobaba 20230608

Japanese>English

For my sixteenth cup, I decided on "Bida"! I decided to have it because I missed my trip to Fukuoka last year👍. The taste is cloudy and thick, with a lot of rice flavor. The dryness also makes it easy to drink for a mukuri-shu, and it washes down the fat from the pork bowl I had earlier, making it just right for a reset ✨.

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

Chiyonohana Shiboritate Special Junmai Sake. Aged in ice temperature for 6 months. Aroma: The aroma is high and pleasant, including iso with a milky graininess. The taste is thick and mellow on the tongue, with a strong sweetness and acidity that is characteristic of the Sugihara Sake Brewery at first, followed by a soft sweetness. In the latter half, there is a momentary seme and bitterness, and the bitterness of this bitterness is a taste that accompanies the sweetness of the meal. Overall, the body is a bit heavy and would definitely go well with regional food. It is a quintessential Urazumi taste.

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.

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😃.

Sake from the breweries of Chojamori and Koshino-Kanchubai. I had been interested in this sake for a long time, but I bought it because it was on special price and there was a draft. According to the Internet, the rice is Koshitanrei. I've seen the hi-ire version but only at Ito-Yokado 🤔. I heard it was developed in collaboration with Takaoka National College of Technology, and the 888th sake out of 1200 test brews was so good that they decided to commercialize it. Sourness like wine. It has sweetness but it's not like sake. As the description says, I would like to match it with meat and cheese.

Japanese>English

It's a good mix between Sauvignon Blanc (white wine) and pure rice wine (laughs). They say it's a limited edition product and is sold at Ito Yokado.

Japanese>English

It is fruity and easy to enjoy.
