This sake is made with yeast No. 6. It has a complexity and depth of flavor like a sake yeast. It is not as refreshing as the other two. Personally, I prefer Yamama.

In between trains, I went to a traveling BAR for the first time in a long time. I was curious and hadn't had a drink, Kirakira-lettered Iwaho Refreshing sourness, bitterness and astringency, The strong acidity is refreshing and easy to drink. You can taste the mellow flavor, It is delicious!

The alcohol content is high, so the alcohol hits you hard first, followed by the sweetness characteristic of this brewery. I really like Miyoshino Brewery.

Drunken Garden in Azumino, Shinshu. I was curious to buy it because it is 59% Hitogokochi, a Nagano Prefecture sake. As the label says, it is a refreshing sake with a delicious flavor. It is not at the top level of popular Nagano sake, but it has a glimpse of Nagano's sake character.

Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Japanese>English

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

At a recent Izakaya Monorail event, there were 8 people sitting at one table with 6 bottles of 4-gou 😀. As we were about to arrive at the last stop, the attendant suddenly added another bottle 🤣. I was told that I was already drunk and couldn't drink any more, but after tasting a few more, the staff asked if anyone would like to take some home... Everyone had come from quite a distance, but since my family lives at the next station, I was grateful to receive a bottle of this Fujimusume 😇. The sake level is +5 degrees, which is rather spicy for our family who likes sweet sake😅. We also compared the sweet and tasty Murasakiu and Akakido, so it seemed dry in its own way, but it was a delicious sake with a stronger umami flavor than that 😇. I used to think that Kochi sake was harsh except for CEL24, but this Kochi sake event changed my impression of Kochi sake.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

I received it as a gift.

This is the last of the sake purchased at the Nagoya liquor store. Rice used is Yumesansui Beautiful smooth sweetness and moderate bitterness and spiciness. It has a little heaviness, but it is a well-balanced sake ❗️. Not bad❣️

Japanese>English

I thought it was a light fruity sake, with the bitterness spreading in the mouth before the acidity, and the sweetness of the rice coming through later, making it smooth and easy to drink.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

Purchased at Aomori Iwate Shop I was attracted by the "limited edition" label and bought it reflexively. It is said to be slightly dry, but it has a mild taste. I also like that it doesn't have that much of a ginjo feel to it. Let's try it lukewarm when it gets a little cooler!

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

Today we have Ajigasawa Special Junmai Sake from Ozaki Shuzo in Aomori Prefecture: ❗️ The aroma has the faint smokiness of old sake. After a sip, a mellow texture on the tongue is followed by a mildly astringent taste. After that, there is a smoky aroma from the nose. ❗️ Good as a food sake. ❗️ interesting sake. ❗️

Japanese>English

Said to be a sake that matches the local diet of the Aomori fishing town of which it is named.

Fukushima sake tasting 🍶1 cup of KURADAIKO The aroma is so floral that it is hard to believe that it is junmai sake. It is dry at +10 degrees Celsius, but it is not only spicy but also has a strong umami flavor and is surprisingly easy to drink 😋. A cup of sake is not enough 😅
