This time it's a star label! Brewed with Ginga no Shizuku from Iwate Prefecture, the sake has a subtle aroma...the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter with a good acidity and a nice sharpness! I'm enjoying it with sashimi of firefly squid and salted swordfish................................

I'm enjoying it while reading the back of the bottle...Yamada Nishiki has a nice aroma and mouthfeel...it's the best 😀 I'm sipping on some natural yellowtail sashimi as a snack.

My booming purple air♪The last junmai was not so good, but the jungin is still delicious. It is a summer sake🍶 with a refreshing fruity aroma.... The mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and then it quickly turns into a crisp, refreshing sake! It has a rich rice flavor...delicious...I can't help but drink too much...a brewery with high expectations for the future...I want to drink many things from this brewery...!

At Kaki-numa. I'm not sure how many times I've heard of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Lucky👍 I bought a bottle of autumn wine 😋 for good measure. Just the right amount of age! The flavor of the food tickles my autumnal appetite 😅 It's the season for good drinks and snacks 😁

Purchased at Fujisaki, Sendai. Sake that makes a pshhhh sound when you open it. It is said to contain yeast. I want to support the rice fields of Fukushima by drinking it!

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

Japanese>English

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

Hinohikari. The richness of the rice flavor is gutsy. Slightly hiney feeling.

This is my first Kikumori. It's smooth and less acidic, which is good to pair with sashimi or other fish cuisine.

Last weekend's work was trouble-free 🔚. It has been a long time since I have worked long hours, and I am tired, but I want to say "thank you" to myself for all the hard work I have done, so let's drink a glass of wine 🍶. The "𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai" (𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai) Sake made by Shinshu Meizou, which was formed through the merger of four separate breweries, and is a special sake for the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai. Besides "𛀣久盛", "瀧澤" and "鼎" which I drank the other day are also brewed at this brewery. ✨️ ［Glass.] Aroma of mellow apples with honey, a refreshing sweetness on the back side of a thick umami flavor, and a mineral aftertaste that lingers on the palate. ［Mokkiri.] A fruity aroma with a strong umami, soft umami, and a lingering aftertaste that is fresh and slightly sweet from the sharpness of the acidity. I wanted to eat meat, so I had roast beef from the basement and the usual fish shop's horse mackerel. After the night shift, I continued to work almost 24 hours a day, and the next day I worked long hours from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Moreover, I sweated a lot from carrying in, preparing, and taking down, and my body was craving salt. I survived the summer again this year, and this weekend I am going to "Summer Fun" 💃.

Kikumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. From the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai comes Kikumori from Shinshu Meizo. Shinshu Meizou, which has a brewery in the Ueda area, exhibits a freshly stored sake that has been aged in a thermal tank for two years at ice temperature. It is a 100% Miyamanishiki Junmai Daiginjo, with a Sake degree of -2 degrees, an acidity of 1.6, and an alcohol content of 16 degrees, making it a dark, mellow, sweet sake. It has an aroma of muscat and apple on the nose and a mellow sweetness on the palate. The extremely mellow and soft mouthfeel, which has lost its angularity due to aging, even gives the impression of lusciousness. The rich umami flavor spreads out firmly, and it finishes smoothly with a beautiful acidity. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy an aged sake that has been stored in its raw state, and the flavor is perfectly balanced and delicious!

8 points (wife: 7 points) Alcohol content: 14 degrees Celsius Sake meter: +2 Acidity: 1.2 Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio : 60 Yeast : Nadeshiko flower yeast Where to buy : Japanese Restaurant Kusabanaraku (Nagasaki City) Slightly floral melon-like top The same fruity aroma as the first sip, a moderate sweetness, and the umami of rice spread with a soft acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. The dryness of the alcohol gives this sake a good sharpness in spite of its aroma, giving it a classical impression in the latter half of the bottle. It is more suitable as a mid-meal drink than as a stand-alone sake. It went well with grilled sea bream, various sashimi, simmered pork, simmered sea bream, fried fish, and other dishes made by my wife's brother.

This is the first time I drink this brand. It's clean with little miscellaneous flavors, and there's something about it that makes me want to try other kinds.

Yamatsuru is the closest sake brewery to my house, but I haven't had much of it lately. The last time I drank it I got the impression that it was peculiar and not really my cup of tea, but not this Junmai Daiginjo! Clear and fruity, good balance of flavors. It's also gorgeous😋. The price is reasonable for a Junmai Daiginjo, but I think it's worth it🧐 I can't underestimate local sake 😚

Japanese>English

Low-polished Junmai-shu from Yamatsuru, a local sake brewery in Ikoma, Nara. The name is Choyao. It was a gift, but it looks like it will cost a fortune💧. I heard it was brewed using a method described in a wooden letter from the Nara period. I wonder if it is true. Anyway, let's try it. Wow! It is indeed as rich and sweet as I had heard! The sake level is a whopping -40❗️ But the aftertaste is refreshing. Surprisingly easy to drink and delicious 😋. It's pretty good 👍I'll have to try this one too 😙. But I wonder if people in the Nara period really enjoyed this kind of sake 🤔.
