It was my first time to try Usuzakura. I missed the chance to buy nama sake, so I bought hiyaoroshi. The rice is Ginfuki. It has a relaxed atmosphere. The aroma is a little fruity. It has a mild sweet umami taste. Is it sweet among the Hiyaoroshi?

The mark looks much like some airline company. Pouring it into a cold sake glass and bringing it close to the nose, the aroma is sweet and soft, like a peach. When you drink it immediately, you cannot sense any strong characteristics at first, but the deliciousness of the rice oozes out from the middle part of the bottle, and in the latter half, the fruity overtone appears in small waves. There is little bitterness or astringency. Overall, it has an elegant flavor typical of Junmai Daiginjos. Thank you very much.

Saijo Sake Festival (6) The last sake brewery we visited was Sanyotsuru Sake Brewery, which was also new to us! We drank hiyaoroshi and bought some limited edition sake and left Saijo 🍶. It was a very fun sake festival, but there were just too many people 😂I would like to come back on a weekday when it's quieter. I heard it's also famous that people always fall down and ambulances come, but I guess it's safe? I'm happy to see it😅 Alcohol in moderation 🚑. It has a gentle flavor, but the most classical taste of all the sakes we drank this time. Slightly full-bodied but with a crisp aftertaste

☀️ I'm at the Saijo Sake Festival. It's a great crowd 😳 First of all, we had a barrel of Sanyo Sake 🙏. It's quite reasonable at 100 yen for 60ml 🙄. Well, I guess that's festival price 😆. It's sake 🍶. Sweetness is firm. There is a moderate cedar aroma from the barrel. The cedar aroma is soft and fluffy. This may be the softest barrel sake I've ever had. This kind of moderate flavor is very special for festivals 🤗.

Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

Solid closing brew.

Yamada Nishiki. After a long time. The sweetness and umami are in the right place. In the middle, the umami expands and becomes a little fresh.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

I received this from my wife's brother!

Chidori Masamune is a Japanese sake from Sanda City! It is packed with umami, and although brewer's alcohol is added, the lingering aftertaste is amazing! Even when heated, the flavor is outstanding, and it is the best of the best!

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (4) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. Echigo Toji Honjozo This sake was recommended by bouken, Nemuchi, and Sakélan advisors at the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas. It was recommended by all three as the No. 1 sake that I would drink at the event, so I went back to Abeno Harukas on the last day 🍶💨. The color is almost crystal. The top aroma is milky with a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is light and smooth. The taste is a nostalgic sweetness and umami like fine milk caramel that flows gently and smoothly. When heated, the milk caramel flavor increases and the taste is refreshing. It has a classic flavor, It is a delicious sake with a light, milky sweetness and umami that is easy to drink, with a smoothness that reminds one of the softness of Niigata's melted snow water. After all, this is the kind of sake that you want to drink at the end of the day! The selection ability of the three heavyweight members of the group is superb 😊. The Niigata Sake Fair is still going on.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA It looks like it's only sold 3㌥ all year round, but I couldn't find it on the website💦. When I tasted it, I got the impression it was bitter, but it tasted quite sweet. Maybe because it's not on its own, but during a meal? I got the impression that it was a little strong on alcohol. But my overall impression is that it's easy to drink. I have a much better impression when drinking it at home than when tasting it 😍. I think it will show its full potential during a meal 😋. The mild syrupy sweetness is addictive!

Japanese>English

We opened a bottle of this Niigata sake. It is gorgeous and elegant, I would say, but in this day of various drinks, it lacks punch and has a thin image. With truffle rice balls to finish. Alcohol content 14%. IngredientsRice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Rice polishing ratio 55

@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

Japanese>English

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

Japanese>English

The smell is gorgeous and fruity. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft. Overall, it is elegant, with an image of umami that rolls around in the mouth rather than spreading all over the palate. There is no bitterness, acidity, or carbonation, so once you get into it, you can drink it without hesitation. Is this common to all Jyushiyo? It has a really strong and unique aroma.
