grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) On the way back from a trip to Fukushima. At Morishu in Koriyama station. We also stopped by Izumiya and had a good time. Mild and dry. The name "Miharukoma" is derived from "Miharu-koma," a wooden local toy, which is a traditional craft of Miharu-cho as well as "Takizakura.

Purchased on a trip to Miharu last fall, it was one of the last remaining bottles at the liquor store. It has been aged for a long time, and was bottled only a year ago. The color is golden like mirin (sweet sake), and it has the peculiar taste of aged sake. The alcohol content is 19 degrees, which makes it a super baby sake! Serve this with squid with wasabi!

Cup of sake at a friend's house 🍶. It was easy to drink ✨

I bought it at the Kasumi Sosa store of the supermarket. To put it bluntly, it is a label purchase (laugh). Opened at room temperature, taste is so-called "umakuchi dry"? It seems to emphasize the sake-like quality more than the light dry sake. It is supposed to be junmai sake, but it seemed to have the atmosphere of a honjozo sake that contains brewing alcohol. Could it be related to the long-term aging on the label? I opened the package and put it in the refrigerator. I will try to see the difference from room temperature later.

Shiga sake festival in Otsu 2025⑳ Yamaji Sake Brewery and Kitakuni Kaido booth. We slipped in at the last minute to listen to the toji-san who was a bit curious about us. ◉Hokkoku Kaido Junmai Sake The rice used for this sake is Tamakae. It has a clear and refreshing taste, but with the umami and acidity typical of junmai sake. ◉Hokkoku Kaido Junmai Ginjo A very clear and refreshing sake with a slight umami taste and a slightly pungent finish. Hokkoku Kaido Junmai Daiginjo Sho A high quality sake. The mouthfeel is clear and fruity with a good acidity. This is delicious. Overall, the impression was a bit refreshing. Only one sake brewed last year was made by Touji Nakamura, who came from Takeuchi Shuzo. The sake he brought this time was the same one, and he said he couldn't drink it anymore. And this is where time ran out. It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to go around the venue. On the way back, we took the train to visit a liquor store in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture. The owner of the liquor store was just visiting the same event, so we spent about an hour talking with the chatty owner, and then we safely returned home.

Hyogo Prefecture Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi Rice polishing ratio Alcohol 17.5 Junmai sake from Kenbishi. As a Junmai sake drinker, I really wanted to have a Junmai sake from Kenbishi, so I bought it online. The color is light amber. The matured flavor reminds me of chocolate aroma.

The bitterness is strong, but the sweetness before that is good. The bitterness makes it refreshing and summery. It is good. Good luck to Kinzoku and Oriten.

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.

[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.

Hanpukai Sake The label says Kiku-zakari, the sakenowa says Tokikumori. I believe the label. Last year it had a classic impression, but this year it feels modern fruity. Maybe it was my physical condition, but it was different from my image. I enjoyed it very much. I drank it while playing mahjong and got very drunk. Double soup with pork and beef bones? Is it basically pork? It was thick and tasty. It went well with thin noodles.

Today's sake is Nagano sake, from the Shinshu secret hanpukai. I can't seem to get this kanji to come up on my kanji converter, so I'll just write it in hiragana 🤣. This sake was a strange one that divided opinions in my family😅. I felt it was very fruity and sweet, but Kaorin said it had a heavy impression, and for the first time in a long time, our opinions were completely different😅. But I'm sure it's a great drink 😇 Today we saw the latest Silence of the Fleet in 4DX at a movie theater near Expo Park 😀. It was a submarine movie, and Kaori-chan and I both got hit by a lot of water droplets and the shaking of the submarine, but we enjoyed it very much 😇.

This is my first Kikumori. It's smooth and less acidic, which is good to pair with sashimi or other fish cuisine.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

A new brand of Kawatake Brewery! Amayadori, written in Japanese as "Amawari"! Sweet like pineapple🍍. It has a juicy and pleasant taste because it's a raw sake with some garnish, The bitterness that comes slowly in the second half is irresistible👍. Mie sake is very tasty.

It is a royal Junmai sake with a very smooth texture and moderate flavor(s). Hokosugi has an outstanding cedar child cup, and the cup sake is excellent! Power up in order when heated. The spiciness and acidity are slight and work well with the depth! It goes well with any kind of sauce! There is no need to write much about it! Mr. Ota is a rerun of Nagasaki It is a treasure house of good food! There are also a variety of good sake, and it's a place I've always dreamed of visiting!
