I wanted to drink a dry one, and the store owner recommended one to me. What? How do you read "yuyo"? Hmm? There is no such kanji? I heard it is read as "yoemon" 😊. It's been a while since I've had a dry one, and it's dry and sharp. Slightly acidic? I enjoyed it with mapo tofu 😆. Dry is also good 🍶.

The third drink outside 🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶. Yamagata "Haeganuki Hiyoroshi" (Hiyori) It is made from "Haenuki" rice produced in Sakata City. It has a mildly dry taste and went well with the hamburger set 😄. The katakana "fumotoi" comes to mind, but the kanji "fumotoi" and the calligraphy on the label (seal script, perhaps?) are also nice 👍. The kanji "fumotoi" and the font on the label (seal script?) are also nice👍.

Bought it for a moment with Rusty Cat Rock. Also got Funaguchi Smoked incense! It has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a sweetness with a tangy flavor and a spiciness that is very strong. Much tastier than I expected.

Japanese>English

It was given to me by my brother back home. Vegetables as well. Deep fried and soaked. For the main dish, I served a bonito tataki with a mountain of myoga (Japanese ginger). Today's dish is from the Niigata series. The dry sake went well with it.

Niigata Souvenirs Part 2 The last one was a gift from Kimi no Ii, along with the Yukinaka Ume. Seasonal summer sake ☀️ It was hot yesterday, so I chilled it to the perfect temperature before serving. It was so hot yesterday, so I chilled it and enjoyed it! It has almost no aroma and a smooth taste. The aftertaste is a little bit peculiar. but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. It is very easy to drink! It was delicious 😄.

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

At home. This is the first time I've had sake from Hokkaido. I thought that Hokkaido's sake was more alcoholic, but it was completely different. You can feel the sweetness of the rice, and there is a bitter taste at the end. It is a refreshing type and very easy to drink. We received a lot of sake from Hokkaido, so we will try to taste and upload it little by little.

A Drink to Remember Series (5) In the early summer of 2015, I planned to take my car on a ferry to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, and when I arrived safely in Wakkanai, I had a drink at a yakitori restaurant for the first time in my life 🍶. The memory reminds me of the faint muscat-like aroma and sharp sharp sharpness 😋. The beauty of the label with the brand name, the wish behind the name "Fuyu Hanabi", and the taste of the local sake when you drink it on a trip...it was one of the reasons I became a sake lover 🎵. I still see it at Sake-no-wa from time to time, so I couldn't help but fish it out from old photos 😆. By the way, the picture was taken when I drank it with my family at the New Year's celebration after I returned from my trip. The other bottle in the picture, "Yukikirara", will be introduced another time ✨😉👍️

This is Kitanoshiki Houmon Honjozo. It is a little dry sake, but you can feel the sweetness. It is a delicious sake.

Comparison of nigori sake from Wakayama's favorite brands (1) We compared nigori sake from two of our favorite brands, Minakata and Chokyu. First, let's start with Minakata 😄. The first one has a fresh and fruity aroma like apples and a strong fizzy feeling. It has a full, sweet flavor and a crisp, refreshing taste, and is just as delicious as one would imagine 😍. It's been quite a while since I've had Nanpo, but I don't remember it ever being out of place and I think it's a good brand with a high level of quality 😁.

Japanese>English

The first Minakata I've had in probably 3 years, given to me in a 300ml bottle ☺️The 4-pack bottle has a picture of Minakata Kumagusu and the brand story on it, but with 300ml there's no room for that... 😅. It has a thin banana 🍌 aroma with a slight tang of alcohol behind it. After a slightly sweet attack, the aftertaste is a good mix of bitterness, sourness and spiciness. The aftertaste of bitterness lasts quite long. It will go well with both meat and fish without any conflict. The quality of the sake is similar to Kido's Junmai Ginjo. Is it because it is a sake from Wakayama Prefecture?

Japanese>English

Grading☆☆☆ Sake from Wakayama A faint scent of ginjo, just the right amount of rice flavor, and a touch of bitterness and sharpness. The bitterness and sharpness. But I don't feel any major characteristics in this one 😅. It's a dry taste for a mid-meal drink. It's a bit lacking in a single product.

At the end of last year, my wife picked out a bottle for me to drink once in a while. I wanted to have something to drink sometimes ✨. A liqueur made with Shizooka mandarins 🍊 You can't feel the alcohol at all! It's just the pulp of the mandarin oranges and the sweetness of the honey. If you don't call it alcohol, you'll think it's a normal juice. If you don't call it alcohol, you'll think it's a normal juice and drink it😊.

720ml ¥1,925 Thanks again for your hard work this week😃. It's been a while since I've been to Ume-chan 😁Kaze-no-mori and Mimuro-sugi are the big two, but they're definitely the best breweries ✨. I found a store that has a good selection as well as Toichi, so I'll be drinking a lot from now on 😄! Very sweet, sour and juicy 😆 Light and easy to drink, very good 😋. I'm going to enjoy this one over the next few days to see how it changes.

Japanese>English

The other is Umenoyado. When the bottle is opened, it has a gentle, soft, sweet aroma like anko or Japanese sweets. The mouthfeel is also soft and pleasant. The sweetness, spiciness, acidity, and astringency in the flavor are not all prominent, and the mild sake quality is also reminiscent of Fushimi sake, with its delicious and refined taste! It has a light rice flavor reminiscent of Miyamanishiki, and is a delicious sake that can be served on its own or with food ✨. It's raining unfortunately, but I'm off to explore Nara in the morning for the first time in about 10 years 🦌.

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

𓂃🫧 Purchased with Hakuginumi Calpis soda for adults(*ฅ́˘˘ฅ̀*)♡ Reasonably priced🎶. When you drink Calpis soda, you'll notice that it's a photo 3️⃣🙀. It tends to be dry when paired with shime saba So... I drank it while eating fried chicken I drank it while eating snacks and drank half of it in no time 😂😂. Izakaya shinkansen🚄drama I want to drink 🍶´- and go on a trip when I'm watching it ヾ(⌒(ノシ｀>ㅿ<)ノシ(⌒(ノシ｀>ㅿ<)ノシ)

Japanese>English

I used only ayu (sweetfish) for this dish. I also served bonito and Spanish mackerel tataki with a lot of myoga. It has a slightly high alcohol content and sweetness for a Niigata sake, so it went well with the ayu fish, bonito and Spanish mackerel. It was a good evening drink.

Japanese>English

Local liquor store on the line... ♪ Fruity flavor and a slight effervescence. Highly recommended for those who want a little sweet nigori! I heard that it is a very good choice for those who want to drink a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. I had to try it! I bought it in a hurry: ‼️ After returning home, I opened the bottle slowly, little by little. The white ooze that had accumulated at the bottom of the bottle danced and danced like snow every time air entered the bottle. Dancing. Dancing. And then, the taste is just as delicious as I imagined, and I dance, too.
