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.

Sake at the Autumn Sake Festival ④. Light taste. Easy to drink sake, I guess. The aroma is subdued but has a nice sake aroma. ...I was in a good mood after drinking a lot of sake. So I forgot to take a picture... I tasted a few more after this, but I'm not sure anymore... I guess that's all for the record.

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.

At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Japanese>English

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Japanese>English

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

Genuine Sake (Normal Sake) Aizu Inshu ✨ The first cup of our annual New Year's sake 😆. Mellow, a little bit spicy 😳, good for warming up. Mellowed with Aizu's famous squid carrots 🦑🥕 ☺️ Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20240106

Normal sake The umami and acidity cling to the palate as you sip. It is a perfect match with Kitakata Ramen (soy sauce). More umami and sweetness. It was a very satisfying lunchtime Chinese drink 🎉. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20230108

Refreshing ginjo aroma 😌. It was a local sake with a strong but refreshing alcohol taste that went well with a meal 🥂.

ICHI-GO-CAN from Shonan, by Kumazawa Sake Brewery, which brewed Tensei, has the same refreshingly dry, light taste as Tensei. It is the best sake to finish off a long day of drinking.

Mini Bottle I feel it has a sharp taste and goes well with food.

Names of places I will never forget in my life. To name a few, the name of one of them. It's an old man's prerogative to bemoan the fact that personal impressions are being passed around, but he doesn't care to understand the background behind them. Yes, it's my opinion of alcohol. This is the taste at a restaurant I haven't seen in a while. It is a drink that seems to be a bad idea for people who don't drink sake, and it stirs the imagination of a drunken old man to think that he remembered it. The spiciness of the taste is a little bit sly, but the old-fashioned taste will not deceive you. If you read between the lines of the terrible writing, it is delicious. I don't want to say that it is a leap of faith, but it is an excellent drink to drink with a sense of everyday life and a sense of balance. Noshiro, for the generation that played a certain sport, it is special, and I feel old, and I was able to drink a delicious drink, today. Thank you for being here today.

Mellow sake. It has little sweetness, but it is juicy and fruity, with a concentrated umami flavor and a strong sake taste! This is my favorite kind of sake. It is indeed an Akita sake!

Kami no Ho, is the name of sake rice. It is made in Mie Prefecture and seems to be rather limited to the region. The taste was milder than that of nama-shu, but full-flavored. It was a delicious sake.

The appearance is transparent and pale crystal silver. The nose is gorgeous and full, with hints of pear, banana, and acacia. There is a freshness of green bamboo, lime minerality, mushroom and chestnut aroma, and sour cream fermentation. The first impression on the palate is rather strong, with plump sweetness, round and firm acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. The aftertaste is rather long.

Japanese>English

It is mild, non-habit forming, and very easy to drink. It goes well with many different kinds of meals and can be savored on its own after a meal.

Japanese>English

It is a home brewed sake, and the rice used to make it is grown in Okayama Prefecture. It has a rice polishing ratio of 50%, a sake degree of +1.0, and an undisclosed acidity level. It was clear in color, slightly thickened, refreshing, and fresh from the rice.

Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!
