Koshino Hakugan is a 50% polished ginjo. This is a light, easy-drinking ginjo-shu that is typical of Niigata sake. Serve with tempura of wild vegetables.

Japanese>English

I've never seen this brand before. It's mostly consumed in Niigata Prefecture, so it's not sold outside the prefecture. I was lucky enough to drink it 😄. It's chilled but very juicy, and it's a true trendy combination of sweetness and refreshment. I drank it at the end of a drinking party, so there wasn't much left of the knob, but it's a very powerful drink that works well on its own. I'd really like to taste it at home, so if I find it somewhere else, I'll definitely buy it 😙. But I drank too much yesterday 😨

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA⑭ Koshino Shiragane" booth. The main product was a honjozo type, and 80% of the sake was shipped to customers in the prefecture. Koshinohakugan Kuromatsu The highest gold award for two consecutive years in the lukewarm category of the National Heated Sake Contest in 2020 and 2021. It's so cheap, I'm scared. It's very cheap and I'm scared. It has a mild sake taste with a rich sweetness and umami. Koshino Shiragane Junmai Made from Gohyakumangoku rice. It is a junmai sake with a sharp and tight acidity. Koshino Heki Junmai Ginjo Also made with Gohyakumangoku. It has a clear sourness and a strong acidity. Koshino Shiragane Junmai Daiginjo Hiyahiroshi, unfiltered, bottle-hitched. I was going to skip the Hiyoroshi, but bouken said he was going to drink it, so I tasted it. It's fruity, rich, and full-bodied, with a richness that I like. The pricing is too cheap and buggy. Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Exhibit Sake 2024 Sake for the sake competition. It's clear and drinkable like water without any stickiness. It has a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Vintage2014 Aged 10 years for a sake show. Abeno Harukas brought it because it is 10 years old. The color does not change much. It has a sense of maturity, but it tastes clean and full of flavor.

Kansai Salmon Ware year-end party⑳⑳ We said goodbye to Umaisan, Maru, Rutemi, pyonpyo and Robin and went to the 3rd party. Mr. Muchi helped us to find a restaurant for the after-party too. I remember it was pretty fruity and refreshing. We also drank Niiyu's dry sake and Toyo Bijin's straight kumi, which is not on the menu 😋. I always listen to kan's 🐴 stories: 👂️ Mother and father are important 🐎. Jive-san had to leave on the way because his train time came 🙋. Finally, Nemuchi and I had ramen at Ramen Nigamushi Chicken before heading home 😋. I've never had ramen before and it was delicious 🍜. Aochan who went missing also went to another ramen restaurant 😁. I lost the sake that Jive gave me, so I went back to the after-party later, but it's a secret 🤫. Thank you very much to Gyumu-san who always organizes off-line meetings, and to everyone who participated 🙇.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

It's a little sweet, but they say it's made to go with Nagoya rice. I wonder if it's too hot or if it's too weak.

Motobuden-cho, Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan 3.8 A dry sake with a lingering aftertaste. It doesn't feel like a summer sake, but it's good once in a while.

Japanese>English

@Tempura and Sake Asuigen Yonemune by Aoki Shuzo in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture. 21.9 on the label is the alcohol content 😆. No yeast added, acidity 2.9, Sake degree +25, and a very odd sake 😤. The owner of a yakitori restaurant I went to later in the day, which mainly serves hot sake, told me that the alcohol content is only possible because of Yonemune's brewer's yeast, not an association yeast. I had it cold 🍶. The first aroma has a slight acidity. In the mouth, you can taste the acidity and sweetness accompanied by umami. It may be because I usually drink high alcohol content nama sake, but the umami is so thick that you don't feel the 21.5% alcohol content. I could taste a glimpse of the umami in the cold sake, but I definitely think this sake should be heated up. I made a mistake 😌. The third and fourth pictures are of Yonemune's brewery, about a 10-minute cab ride from Kintetsu Yatomi Station on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line (or Yatomi Station on the JR Kansai Main Line). While I was taking pictures, Mr. Toji Aoki happened to come outside while I was working and we had a chance to chat, if only to say hello 😊.

Light, sweet, and fragrant sake Light, but with a strong flavor. It is easy to drink because it is sweet but has a good amount of astringency. The aftertaste is sharp and alcoholic. This sake is made by Kubiki Shuzo in Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture. They also make quite good sake! This sake has a bit of an alcoholic feel to it, but not bad.

Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag? It is delicious, but maybe too elegant. It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

Japanese>English

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.

Japanese>English

This sake is limited to two liquor stores, one in Sakai and the other in Kishiwada. Only 12 bottles are in stock, so the next time I come back, there won't be any left, so I was allowed to try a special sample before purchasing. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a low alcohol content and is sweet with a gentle taste. It is low in alcohol, but you can feel the fullness of the flavor. It has no gaseous feeling, but it is fresh. It can be used by itself or with food. Shimada Special is delicious no matter what you drink.

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

Japanese>English

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️

Japanese>English

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421

Stars Hiyoroshi No.3 ‼️ This is my first time drinking Asahi Sake Brewery! It's a very cute bottle and one I was interested in last year 🥹🩷. There are some pickles pickled in a bed of rice bran bought for 100 yen 🥒🍆. ↑upI like the sound of "nuka-zuke". I don't like it that much, but... 🤣𐤔 Now, let's start with cold sake as usual 🍶´- I thought I didn't like pickles. This time it was salty and delicious ︎︎👍 #The Rising Sun Sake Brewery #Junmai-Shu #Hiyahoroshi #Ginkgo #R5BY #Gohyakumangoku #Dry #Shimane#Shimane
