Cooled Sake
I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

Refreshing, sweet and delicious😋. Mio has a huge market share in the sparkling category😃. It would be great if women who are not familiar with sake could be awakened to the taste of sake and start drinking it every night 😛.

Aizan sake, still stocked but a little interrupted for refrigerator reasons😅. Shochiku Ume, but brewed in Nada, not Fushimi. There's a big building that looks like a factory near Sunshine Wharf. The bottle and cap have a unique design. The aroma on the nose is quite gorgeous, with a slight nuance of peppermint. In the mouth, it has a gorgeous sweetness and a bitter spiciness. It is refreshing but has a strong personality, probably because it is an unfiltered sake.

If you drink only unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake during the winter, it can be heavy at times, so in the spring, drinking a light sake like this is good for the stomach 🙂.

Converted from fruity sake Must be a summer sake, this label But it was cloudy. It was very thick, so I kept the glass half-full. It's crisp and dry, with a hint of sourness because it's a Yamahai sake. Not my favorite genre. I had it as a palate freshener. Sorry! Mifukyu is a sake brewed by the brewery that produces Nikkuro-Tsuchiboshi! It was my first time! (some of the secrets of the brewery's secrets) Ingredients : Sake rice produced in Shiga Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 60 Alcohol content : 15

The seventh and final sake is Mifuku Mifuku, a sake from Shiga Koka. We close with a fresh taste with a flavor of Yamahai brewing. Thank you very much for the meal.

It is a new sake, but it has the richness of an old sake and a medicinal taste similar to Shaoxing sake. When heated to human skin, the medicinal taste disappears and it becomes milder. I'd rather drink it with Chinese dishes with lots of pepper than with sashimi.

Cold. Purchased at Fukuda Sake Brewery. I bought a lot of it, so I drank it all at once to reduce the amount. It is a sparkling type, not too sweet, not too spicy, and easy to drink, but it has 14% alcohol content. I am not a fan of carbonation, so the carbonation was stronger than I expected, and it hurt my nose. I think I prefer Nagasaki Bijin if they are made by the same brewer.

Crystal silver coloration. Melon, apple, etc., ethyl caproate. Ueshin powder, white dumplings, lime. Elegant sweetness, acidity is smooth, full-bodied and pleasantly bitter. While it has a sweet aroma, it is relatively dry and clean as a taste. Personally, I quite like the taste.

Oniyasha Centrifuged Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake. It is a delicious sake with a creamy mouthfeel and a bitter taste that comes after the umami and goes down the throat. I think it's a slightly dry nigorizake. It's delicious 😋The label has a picture of the top and bottom. The direction of the label is reversed from the normal Oniyasha label.

Centrifugal separation, but nigori? There is no graininess at all. It is rather dry but with a very strong flavor. When heated up, it becomes more refreshing and easy to drink.

Local sake from Kazuno City. Akita Sake Komachi x AKITA Yukiguni Yeast The aroma is fruity 🎶. The astringent aftertaste further enhances the lingering taste🎶. This makes me want to try Chitose-mori's other sake.

Almost no aroma, weak richness. No bitterness. Slightly sweet and acidic. Drinkable like water. If it had a stronger aroma and sweeter taste, it would be my favorite type. But it goes down smoothly...dangerous sake.

There are various theories as to the origin of "Rakurakutsuru," but it is said that the name "Rakurakutsuru" is derived from the name of a place called "Sasaura" near Kinosaki Hot Spring located about 20 km from the brewery, the name of the villa of the lord of Izushi Castle, Lord Sengoku, called "Rakurakuen," and the name of sake, "Rakuraku," which is also called "Sasazuru. The name of the villa is said to be "Rakurakuen" and the word for sake is "Rakuraku". The word "crane" is said to refer to the storks that lived in this area. The top aroma has a strong alcohol flavor. It is a very rich and mellow sake, as it is a pure sake. I don't want to compare it to other sake, but it has the feel of mellow shochu or spirits. However, it is a sake (I don't like the term "sake", so I call it "alcohol"), so it is somewhat mellow, not that harsh alcohol. It's easy to drink, so you can gobble it down with a gulp, and (for me) it's a bit of a kick.

Sour! Not at all Not sweet at all! It is surely delicious even if it is cooled down to a crisp! It will be good not only for Japanese food but also for Italian and French food..., Delicious!
