I opened the lid and sniffed it... I liked it even before I drank it because of the nice aroma of koji like amazake! I thought ^ ^ Sip it with salted butter dorayaki and dry snacks 🍶. Yes, it's still delicious...my kind of sake ^ ^ ^.

Kashima Shrine, Ikisu Shrine, Katori Shrine I visited and bought from the three shrines of Eastern Japan! This time we got Katori! Junmai Natural Sake 80 I've never tasted sake like this before! Sweet aroma? The aroma of bread? The taste is strong and robust. The sourness and richness are similar to coffee... That's just my personal opinion😜. What the heck, I just finished 300mls! LOL! It is a divine drink 😁.

I messed up with the Terada family.... It's perfect for heating up.

One cup of "Ureshicho" in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture. The acidity of this sake is classic. Paired with fried potatoes, a souvenir from my wife and son's trip to Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Umeda Department Store. (Hankyu or Hanshin) One of seven breweries in Nara Prefecture that belong to the Nara Prefecture Bodai-Hashimoto Sake Research Association. See label on back. Rich, mouthfeel It is a sweet type, but the far and spreading umami and bitterness It was delicious and matched well with food. It became mellow and mild when heated to lukewarm and I could enjoy it with ease 😁. I am interested in the history of sake only when I taste Bodaihashi.

It is a set of 5 cups of Kinki local sake 😁. It is a gift from an acquaintance 🍶. It is 📌180ml ¥Unknown 🌈1/5th cup 🌈 Here's the rice 🍶. Start with room temperature 💕 Not much aroma 💕 The color is beautiful💕 You can feel the sweetness of the rice on the palate, but you can also taste the umami 💕Yumai 💕 Then I tried heating it up to lukewarm💕 The aroma has more sweetness💕 When warmed up to lukewarm, it tastes more pungent than sweet💕. It's also interesting to taste the different flavors 👍 Today's pairing is pot-au-feu 😋. It's a great pairing 👍 I wanted to try the cold sake but it ran out quickly 🍶thanks to a friend👍

Memorandum📝. The most addictive sake in hiyaoroshi. It has a bitter and smoky taste, The maturity of the sake envelops you with a roundness from start to finish. It is a sense of security from childhood, surrounded by babysitters. It is an excellent sake that can be served cold or hot. I drank two bottles in one season.

The first Toyoshu in a long time is a pure rice sake brewed with the Yamanokami yeast derived from sasayuri (a kind of lily of the valley) that blooms in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine, a sacred place for sake. If you are a sake drinker in Nara, you must try this 😁. Perhaps it was because I was used to light and fruity junmai sake, but it was alcoholic, not too sweet, and had a firm mouthfeel. But it has a modern feel and is easy to drink. Yamano kami yeast was surprisingly not peculiar 🤔. Thank you for the food 🙏. I think I'll go visit Ookami shrine ⛩ again.

It's finally New Year's Eve! For the first time this year, I was able to participate in "Sake-no-Wa" and it was fun and I learned a lot. Thank you very much😊. Now, we are having a limited edition sake that was just pressed this morning. Fresh, crisp, umami, delicious! It's going to be a good New Year's Eve 😋.

Is this the first Aizan for this brand? The sweet flavor is sustained from the first sip.

This is the first time I have had kijoshu. It had a sweetness different from anything I had ever had before and was easy to drink.

Beginner's impression I thought it smelled like alcohol by smell and when I drank it, it felt like medical alcohol and I didn't like it.

This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

Japanese>English

Delicious! Light and easy to drink. It is sweet and has little bitterness. Easy to recommend to people who don't like sake.

Ψ(∇)Ψ🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is the first brand of Fukui Prefecture's Fuku-Chitose. It has a mild aroma and when you drink it, it is light and dry and crisp. It is a delicious taste✨.

Japanese>English

The first bottle we opened at the beginning of the New Year was a bottle of "Fuku Chitose Namae Junmai Dry Taste" brewed with the prefecture's original sake rice "Sakahomare", which was grown in Fukui. This is the third time this season that sake made with Sakahomare has been brewed. The sake brewery says that this is the third year they have brewed this sake, not the third year of honesty, but the third year of confidence. The warming sake was recommended, so we tried it lukewarm to finish the saké. The slight warmth of the lukewarm sake matched the umami of the sake, making it a perfect saké to drink with a hot pot on a cold day!

Try something different It's so much wine!

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

Caramel aroma. Pungent, powerful and deep umami, lactic acid acidity. Late bitterness and astringency. Good taste. Heated with added water. Tamaei. With half-boiled egg, liver, and enoki mushroom achard.

Japanese>English

Deep yellow. Some sweet aroma. What is it? Caramel? Also a woody aroma. There's also a lactic acidity. Even at room temperature, it is surprisingly tasty. Deep sweetness and astringent acidity. The overall volume is rich and pleasantly complex. I like it! Warm it up. This is also delicious! Pleasant sweetness and voluminous umami and nourishment. It has a soy sauce-like quality that I'm not sure how to handle, but the volume of the umami swallows up any discomfort. It's so nourishing and good! I want to add water and drink it slowly.

Japanese>English

Strong sourness characteristic to Kimoto and low- rice polishment sake. I significantly feel fermentation which alike miso taste. Not sweet Full bodied
