This was the third bottle we drank on New Year's Day. We saved the Hakurakusei we had brought for another time and opened a bottle of Okutanba provided by my sister and her husband, as we did last year. It is dry but slightly fruity and easy to drink. It goes well with strong flavored dishes. Thank you very much.

Japanese>English

It's my first time to visit the Yamana Shuzo brewery in Okutamba. Is it a sake made from the same yeast as the original yeast? If so, I'd like to try it hot ❗️ Oh, this is delicious ‼️. It's a perfect harmony of sweet and sour, mellow and mild 🥰I read "Chitose" when I'm in Hokkaido 😅Thanks for the great taste.

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 🍶.

Japanese>English

It is very tasty without being nigori (sweet sake) like! The moment you put it in your mouth, a slight carbonation bursts out. The moment you take a sip, a slight carbonation pops in your mouth. It is a strong taste, but the slight carbonation makes it easy to drink. I don't know if it's because the brewery is good, or because it's new sake, or because it's unpasteurized, I would like to try other nigori sake.

This is a summer sake limited to exclusive dealers. It is made from Hiroshima Hatan Nishiki at 55% polishing ratio. It has a refreshing sweetness and It has a refreshing sweetness and a firm taste of rice. If you cool it down, it becomes more refreshing. It is the first time to drink this brand. It is a perfect taste for summer.

It has a banana-type aroma. The sweetness is strong, followed by a slight bitterness and disappears. There is a slight sweet aftertaste. The acidity is not so strong, so it can be an aperitif or an aperitif. I would pair it with an after-dinner dessert.

Japanese>English

[Memorandum]. The third sake is from Hiroshima. Ichidai Yayama. It has a yellowish color and the smell is also bothersome. I can't drink a lot of this.

Drinking outside after work. My wife was off work and we decided to have dinner outside. We found this restaurant in the vicinity of Nara Station - ‼️ We couldn't find a good time to drink at Toyoshuku, so we went to this restaurant and had a glass of Nara's local sake, Shirotoroku (‼️). The aroma was gorgeous, the taste was smooth and sweet on the palate, and the finish was refreshing.

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.

Next, we open a bottle of "Izutsucho"! When the bottle is opened, there is not much of an aroma, but there is a coffee-like aroma, such as café au lait, that can be detected. The palate is light, but the taste is milky and milky. There is also a bitter and astringent taste, which gives the sensation of drinking a green tea latte 🍵. THE caffeinated beverage! This is so addictive👍

Japanese>English

I found another great sake ♫ I want to say, "I found another great sake! It is a fresh, fruity, and quite sweet sake. The subtle petitiveness just before the slight foaming sensation is very enticing to the palate. And the alcohol content is 19%, so you get a big thump right after drinking it! We're all going to have a good time getting drunk today! and opened a bottle of this one, and we all toasted with glasses full of it! Let's go drink it up! I thought to myself, "If I could do this with ......... when I was in my late 20s or early 30s, it would be a happy party...". I've heard that there are a lot of sake in Nagano (not just wine), and I think it has high potential. The peaceful scenery of Kawakami-cho in Minamisaku-gun is one of my precious things. I'd love to drink there again.

lesser cuckoo (Cuculus poliocephalus) Aroma of cooked rice. Light and dry. Slightly ginjo aroma. Mmmm. Purchased at Maruto Otsuka, a liquor store in front of Nakagome Station. The first generation of the family served an apprenticeship at Kurosawa Shuzo, and the name of the brewery, Maruto, is said to have been given to them. It is a local specialty. Picture 3 is Izutsucho's Iekei Ramen with Sake Lees. The aroma of the pork bone and sake is combined, and I think it tastes better than last year. This year, too, the event is a collaboration between a sake brewery and a ramen shop in Saku. This year, a confectionary shop also participated. I am going to Saku again every day.

The bitter aftertaste from the sweet rice aroma... and the sweetness on the palate! I can feel the delicious taste of rice! Delicious... Sake is so deep! This encounter is the best part of sake, and I cherish every encounter...

It has a slightly sweet flavor with a hint of aroma. It was very easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a liquor store in Miharu-cho, where I stopped by when I went to ride the Ban-Etsu East Line last November. It is the flagship brand of this brewery, brewed with local sake rice Gohyakumangoku. The sweetness spreads on the palate as soon as you drink it. I felt it was a little too sweet right after opening it, so I left it in the refrigerator for a month and drank it again after a long time, and it settled down just right.
