Tenma Daijukai (¡°Tenma Sake Association¡±) This sake is named after Governor Yoshimura And an illustration of a mysterious person on the label Where is Governor Yoshimura? Where? It's a very typical mature, slightly dry junmai sake, and it's good warmed up. It's the type of sake I'd like to drink on a regular basis, but it's more of a souvenir. I misunderstood. I'd like to buy it if it were available!

Tenma Taishukai 2024 ④ The day before, I tasted Sakakamatsu from this brewery at a liquor store in Ikuno Ward. He asked me if I was going to the Tenma Sake Festival. I've been to this brewery and bought sake before. I think it was a brewery in Osaka, but closer to Wakayama and near a fishing port. I drank Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Nemuchi-san confirmed with the brewery that it was the same Sakakamatsu Natsusei that I drank the day before. Hmmm? When I drank it the day before, I had the impression that it was a summer sake with good flavor and drinkability, but something is different... Is it the temperature range? It seems too thin or too light 🤔. Summer Ginjo This is also a summer sake. Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but this one is spicier.

Junmai Ginjo 🍶 Henohenomoheji 😅 All of it is made from Yamada Nishiki 🌾 without agricultural chemicals in its own fields. Fairly yellow, strong acidity, matured. Daruma Masamune-like. It's a bit like Daruma Masamune. Surprisingly young freshness as you drink it ✨ matched with grilled wagyu beef ichibo 🐂👍 Umi and @Takadanobaba 20230516

2022BY was served warm. The color is pale yellow. It has a mild, mild, candy-like sweetness and a sharpness accompanied by the acidity of the sake.

Japanese>English

Made with Yamada Nishiki. I chose it because I thought it would be as good as kurozu pork, but it was brilliant. The concentrated flavor spreads in the mouth. It would lose out if it is not served with a strong flavor. If I'm wrong, white sashimi and the like are out.

Next is Tamahagane. What a cool name! I'm attracted to names like that. Kamitachika has a robust sake feel. The mouthfeel It has a dense sweetness and umami, and a slow-moving sensation. The aftertaste is a bit of alcohol, and despite the heaviness of the initial attack, it finishes with a nice acidity and bitterness. I am not so good at Honjozo, but this was delicious! Thank you!

Japanese>English

Part 3 of 3 (specials) for drinking comparison. This is already middle class. It is sharp and dry. It did not have as much ginjo as described in the menu, but it had depth. But somehow, I still didn't have enough to drink today.

Japanese>English

It has a mild taste. The aftertaste is refreshing.

The first sip was swoopy and I couldn't keep up with the flavors, but from the next I could feel the strong, dark flavor. I also enjoyed how it settled down over time.

Japanese>English

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`;) It is five years old, and when heated up, it has a slightly sweet graininess. Sourness is also light. When it cools down, the juiciness becomes more apparent. It is considered to be an old sake that is easy to drink.

It's a home brew...................

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.

Japanese>English

The 36th sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture. This is one of the main brands of Watanabe Sake Brewery in Ogaki City. It is brewed by the only female toji in Gifu Prefecture. It is made from 100% Gifu Prefecture's specially grown Hatsushimo rice. Purchased at an Aeon liquor store in Kakamigahara City. The aroma is similar to yogurt. The palate has a nutty flavor and sweetness with a touch of astringency. It is smooth and easy to drink.

Diachiku Junmai Ukiyoe Alcohol percentage 15 Rice polishing ratio 59 This is the second izakaya in Kamisuwa. This is a Chino City sake. It is quite light and good. I would like to try some other sake. We drank a lot of sake in the Gokuraku set, but this is the second Izakaya? It's almost ready ^ ^.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai (1) I went to the Bishu Competition in Osaka, where the management and judges are all women 😊. I was a little nervous because it was my first time to attend a tasting at a hotel. The venue was Hotel Elsereine Osaka! The awarding ceremony was held for an hour between the first and second parts, so it was a little bit difficult to drink during this time 😅. There was a booth with sake from breweries that were not participating in the event, so I had a drink from a brewery I didn't know. Diachiku from Nagano Prefecture. It seems they were bought by a company called Toda Shuhan in Yamanashi and changed their name to Toda Sake Brewery. Diaigiku was drunk by Lutemi before 😊. Fruity, sweet and tasty, but with a bit of bitterness. I wrote "fruity" at first, but it has a full-bodied Japanese sweetness that I like a lot! Where can I buy it?
