［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival 10] I'm on my 10th cup of sake 😁. I was looking for my favorite "Hakugakusen" and found that it was only available on the first day of the event, so I went here instead 🍶. Unnoi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo. Banana-like aroma, gentle sweetness on the palate, and a lingering mild umami aftertaste. I have a connection with "Kumonoi" since I brought it to the Kansai Sake-no-Iwa offline meeting I attended last summer, and it is still delicious when I drink it again.

This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift last year. I've been accumulating a stock of sake, so I decided to drink it slowly. It's a rare opportunity to see a bottle of sake in a tobin enclosure! It makes my heart dance ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell a slight ginjo aroma. It is almost scentless. The mouthfeel is very clean, but the soft, milky sake quality and subtle sweetness of the rice gradually covers the tongue! The spiciness and the strength of 16% alcohol can be felt in the latter half of the bottle, but the overall flavor is moderate. I think I have not had such a clear sake since I drank the highest quality sake of "Akagisan" (12,000 yen for 720ml)! It is as pure as a gentle breeze. It quietly accompanies you from the beginning to the end. The taste is the very embodiment of "elegance. It is a good bottle to drink by itself or to enjoy as a food wine! Enjoy it carefully over the course of the day👍.

A bowl of oden at an oden shop in Shizuoka Station. I had no idea about this brand. The best part of traveling is being able to drink this kind of local sake with local food 😆. A little sweet and full, with a clean dry finish. It is not flashy, but there is no alcohol feeling that lingers in the throat and it is very smooth to drink 😄. It goes great with Shizuoka oden, which is a thick, dark broth with fishmeal, and if we weren't on a family trip, we would be drinking it endlessly 😅.... Also, I had a local B gourmet dish called "Motsuru Curry" for the first time, which was also very tasty👍👍!

Junmai one-cup of Koyoromo. This is the first time to drink Koyoromo. It is an orthodox Junmai sake, not heavy and refreshing, but it also has a hidden luster. I see that the brewery makes all of its sake from junmai sake. The label is Hiroshige's 53 Stages of the Tokaido, Nisaka.

I was curious about the label "for advanced drinkers" and bought it. It has a peculiar aroma like an old sake, with a hint of sourness. Thick taste Not easy to drink, but I like it very much.

7.5 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content : 15 Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed Sake Degree : Undisclosed Store where purchased : After all is said and done, Japanese face (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly amber in color. Slightly full-bodied rice malt top-drinker The aroma is like soy sauce behind the same aroma of the top rise, and the firm umami of rice and the moderate sweetness spreads zingily with soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice aroma with a moderate bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It has a mellow and unique aroma, a deep flavor, and a strange impression that does not feel heavy, making it a good match for strong-flavored meals. Even as a stand-alone sake, its mysterious impression is addictive. It goes well with grilled bonito, dashimaki egg with shrimp, teppanyaki hormone of Hikoma pork, and motsu (pork bone) stewed tofu.

. Kamofuku Brewery's Sake Sourness is soooo strong! Dry and umami. The color is golden. ✩3.5

Japanese>English

I bought this sake in Shimane because of the impact of the label. It has an amber color with a sense of maturity typical of San'in sake. It does not have much sweetness, but has a rich acidity and rich umami flavor. Personally, I found it softer and tastier when heated than when cold. I opened the bottle because I simmered some oden, and it was the perfect combination when heated.

Items procured in Indianapolis Unique method of koji triple brewing Golden color sake Sourness is kept low, and sweetness and umami come to the fore. It is a delicious bottle.

Japanese>English

X3 Rose" by Kinmon Akita Shuzo This Junmai sake uses three times the amount of koji rice as usual and is blended with ancient rice to give it a rich, original rice flavor. The addition of ancient rice (red rice) to the white rice gives it a beautiful rosé color. The taste is characterized by the mellow sweetness of rice and refreshing acidity like strawberries. Rice polishing ratio: 70%. Alcohol content: 15%. Sake type: Junmai-harazake (pure rice sake) Ingredients: Rice, Rice malt Rice used: Mencoina

Morimoto Shuzo Koyogi Junmai Ginjo Comet 50. It is a jackpot purchase. It is a delicious sake with a great taste and a great drinking experience 😋.

Japanese>English

Morimoto Morimoto Junmai Sake "Hatsu-no-Takimikiri 2022". This is my first time to drink this brewery. It was a delicious one 🍶🎶 and served chilled. It is a dark, umami, spicy sake, but as the temperature returns to normal, the sweetness and sourness come through. I think it is a good sake at room temperature or warmed. All of Shizuoka Prefecture's sake is delicious.

Japanese>English

I came back to my parents' house today, so I drank a glass of local sake for dinner. It is a refreshing yet umami (flavorful) sake that is very Shizuoka 🍶 Morimoto-san is delicious.

This Sake has a full mouth feel and some sweetness at the beginning. The flavor of this Sake is bigger than other Seitoku Sake but it still has good balance. Very good with big flavor foods like mapo tofu.

This Sake has an initial sweetness and a full mouth feel. There is a hint of cedar as the alcohol clears my pallet. Very good with big flavor foods like yakiniku. Seitoku has many Sake that I enjoy.

This Sake is light, refreshing and easy to drink. I am revisiting this Sake because it has been a while since I last drank it. I enjoy the mild flavors of apple and melon with a clean, short aftertaste. This is a refreshing and well balanced Sake.

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Rice used is Yume-Ginko from Nagoya This sake has a slightly sweet and robust flavor. It is not so fresh, but has a mildly sharp and clean aftertaste. Overall, it has a calmness that makes it a versatile all-around food sake. This is a good sake for ministry.

Japanese>English

This will also be the first time I have dreamed of a hawk. The first aroma is a modest sweet aroma. In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness like ripe fruit and the umami of rice. It also has a sweet overtone like that of ripe fruit. It is similar to Chochin, but darker and tastier. I love Nagoya's sake.

Japanese>English

I am not used to sake with high alcohol content yet, but the first sip immediately after opening the bottle was so stimulating and tangy on my tongue that it unintentionally brought back the sensation of drinking gin straight. The first few days I enjoyed it with soda, but today I drank it as is and...what? It is mellow and easy to drink. The alcohol angle is gone and the sweetness spreads softly. I was surprised at how much the same bottle of sake can change its expression after a few days. I realized once again the depth of sake.

This is the second of the three bottles I bought at the supermarket the other day. This is the first time I've had this brewery. I was wondering why there was only one bottle left at the store, but I was curious, and I was going to buy one bottle of Eikoh, but I picked it up. It's sweet but easy to drink ☺️.

One of the most classic tastes I've had this year. Rich and dry.

Japanese>English

I had to work today. After work, I went to a liquor store in Morinomiya to pick up some sake. I found a bottle of Pure Black that I wanted to try, so I bought another bottle! Once again, the cellar was overflowing! After that, I met up with my wife and we went to our favorite yakitori restaurant! The first drink at our favorite yakitori restaurant was our first brewery, Shimada Shuzo's Kofuji! This time it was a Daiginjo! This is the first time I've seen this sake, so I'm looking forward to it! Let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. The first impression on the palate is that it has a beautiful mouthfeel. It has a smooth, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, slightly fruity, and slightly salty taste without any stimulation. This is the first time I have tasted Kofuji, and it is a very gentle and beautiful sake! The third picture is the sake we brought today!

I drank it in Ehime. It's my favorite refreshing feeling.
