I bought this sake today in Gujo Hachiman. It is a dry and refreshing food sake. It is a very good sake.

Japanese>English

I can't believe I'm going to be here. What a delicious aroma! It's been sitting in the fridge for 3 years. I couldn't bring myself to open it... I wonder if it's matured? Clean and refreshing taste with no corners. Lactobacillus-based sweetness and sourness Delicious! Now it's time to stir When I stirred the thick oli... Hmmm... I shouldn't have mixed it... But it's true, you never hear of aged ooze... I learned a lot!

Japanese>English

The sweetness first fills the mouth, and then the tanginess of the alcohol makes it a sake that tastes great when drunk hot, just like old Japanese sake.

Gifu All-you-can-drink ① A business trip to Yamaguchi and then to Gifu the next day! Both of us have ongoing projects, so we go there regularly, but this pattern is rare! I made it into Gifu without too much delay, so we decided to go out for a drink. Work in Yamaguchi is still going on, but Gifu has come to an end. I may come here on a spot basis, but not at the rate of 2-4 times a month or so like before. So? Let's go 😁. Gifu all-you-can-drink local sake 🤣1 hour, 2000 yen! Isn't that cheap? I've had a lot of Gifu sake, but I haven't had it yet 😆. The first one is Kai Kai, stylish bottle 😘. I've been curious about this one, but haven't tried it yet! It's sweet and sour on the palate 😋. It goes smoothly, refreshing and soft. This is recommended to be served cold with snow, so on the rocks! It's low al and it's gone in a moment 🤣.

I jumped at the chance to buy this sake because it had a sticker saying that it had won the highest gold medal for sake in a wine glass. It was slightly sweet and fragrant, but also had the feeling of drinking sake, and I thought it would go well with Western food.

Japanese>English

This sake is supposed to have combined rice with different rice polishing ratios. The smell is slightly nutty. This sake is dry and also manages to seem both light and rich at the same time. The flavor is mellow and somewhat subdued with hints of melon and cashew. The bottle isn’t very traditional but is nicely designed. Rice Polishing Ratio: 50-70% Sake Meter Value: 2 Acidity: 1.7

Local sake for dinner. You can buy it in supermarkets in Tokyo 🍶.

Buna no Shizuku" named after the famous super soft water from the primeval forest of beech trees. It has a clean aroma, a smooth and deliciously sweet flavor, and a refreshing taste down the throat.

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Japanese>English

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

@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 ✨🍍.

Kyushu (2) Yesterday, I was driven from my eldest son's wife's parents' house in Saga to Hakata where we are staying at a hotel. My eldest son is staying at his wife's house, so he left and my second son joined him instead. The six of us, my daughter and her husband, and the baby, went to a motsunabe restaurant that we had reserved 🍲. Kiku Bijin Fukuoka sake First time drinking (and seeing) it! A little stylish bottle. I later looked it up on the internet and found that Kitahara Hakushu liked to drink it and even wrote letters on it! Soft and gentle? It's a little sweet, but it's refreshing. It doesn't interfere with food and goes down smoothly. We had a late lunch (and cake) until 4pm and then had motsu-nabe from 5pm! For that, I ate okay 🤣.

Kiku Bijin Ura Junmai" by Kiku Bijin Shuzo This is a limited edition product for the brewery's "kurabiraki" (opening at the brewery). The label is also turned inside out. This is a pure sake with the "Kiku Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai Shu" still in the bottle. It is a rich and delicious sake. The title is in the handwriting of Kitahara Hakushu, who wrote it while drinking Kiku Bijin at the brewery. Sake Brewer : (Yamiyama City, Fukuoka Prefecture) Type:Japanese sake (special pure rice sake) Ingredients:Rice, Rice malt Rice used for brewing: Yume-Ichikkyo (100% grown in Fukuoka Prefecture) Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol Content: 17 Sake Degree: +4
