It's quite an austere label, my first time at the brewery 🍶The aroma is mild, light, and balanced slightly dry type without any habits, just right for an evening drink ☺️.

Hakkeikubiki is a series of the eight blessings of Kakizaki: sun, water, earth, sky, wind, trees, snow, and people. This is wind. Come to think of it, it was windy in Kakizaki. This is the second bottle from the Sake Rice Study Group. The sake rice is locally grown Koshitanrei. The aroma is light, but has the gorgeous flavor of a daiginjo. The taste is very broad. It is delicious.

I enjoyed the difference between the circular, hokuhokku taste and the feel of the cooled glass. I bought the bottle just for the cat's cuteness, but it had a rich umami taste that is typical of junmai sake. I heard it also helps cats, so it kills two birds with one stone. Next time, I'll have to buy a canine as well.

Purchased at Yasudaya in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The aroma was melon-like, and in the mouth it was very sweet and rich, but with a clean aftertaste. As stated in the introduction to this sake by the brewer, you will never get tired of drinking it.

It is thick and alcoholic, with a slightly tangy aftertaste. It tastes like the sake my father used to drink on special occasions. It's the kind of sake my father used to drink on special occasions.

Early last month, I went to the Ume Festival for a tipsy night. I was given a local sake tasting set and was surprised to find such a delicious apple juice (!!!)! I was surprised to find such a delicious apple juice (!!) in the sake tasting set! I've been thinking about it! I finally found it for sale 🍶. It was just a little astringent when I opened it. Bitterness? A bit bitter? I laughed at it because it was like apple juice. I laughed because it was like apple juice. After a couple of days, I drank it again and found that it had become somewhat milder and was the very apple juice I fell in love with at first sip🍎. It's fruity (because it's apple juice), sweet, about 13 degrees, and I can enjoy it on its own without any snacks. In a word, I love it! And the first liquor store I went to. The owner and his wife (or is it a couple?) had a great atmosphere. They had a great atmosphere and a variety of drinks, so we had a lot of fun 😊. I was so happy to see them and they had a variety of drinks. I was so happy that they knew I was a drinker and asked me so many questions. I was happy that they knew I was a drinker and asked me a lot of questions. It seemed like I could try some drinks, so I'm aiming to become a regular customer. 500ml for less than 1300yen

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 😨

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.

The liquor store in Kuise went out of business and we couldn't buy 100 rice bales, so we went to Furuki Sake-ten near Panasta. The store was also promoting Gamba ⚽ The brands they carry are Kiyotsuru, Katano Sakura, Yamazaru, Sanzen, Daikoku Masamune, Yone Hyakutawara, Yosamusume, etc. Yosamusume is a new brand! It's not an easy place to get to because it's far from the station and up a steep hill 💦. According to the official SNS, it is unfiltered and the rice is Takananishiki. It has a mild sweetness and acidity with a dry astringency in the latter half. The sweetness and sourness are both fluffy and cute 😽. Overall, it is refreshing, but there is also a strong alcohol taste. Personally, I would like to see more sweetness and umami, but it was sweeter than I expected 🤔.

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

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. ⤴️

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

Koshihikari is used. A little sweetness from the hit. The aftertaste is smooth.

A gift from a junior colleague. The brand name of this sake was a sweet umami-guchi sake, which is not typical of Niigata, but it was said to be one of the most refreshing ones. The taste is refreshing, but the sake flavor lingers in the aftertaste. It is a good match for sashimi! I think it was better with fish than too strong flavors. Good luck to my juniors in Niigata!
