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.

It has a scary face, but the taste was gentle. It is a sake from Sado Island.

☀️ Slightly amber 🟨. I heard that the label is a face of a laughing grandpa when turned upside down 👴🏻. Maybe it's a 2-sided drink... and that's exciting 😄 Indescribable taste with an astringency that is not astringent and a sweet sensation that is not sweet 😑. Mmmm, I'm skeptical 👹. In addition to being elusive, it's easy to drink neat and without alcohol. Everything feels like a middle ground 🍶. It's a sake that seems to change a thousand ways with food, too bad we only have grilled sausage🌭 right now😱. It is hard to capture the individuality of the sake 🍶 and the taste may change depending on your mood or physical condition 🍶. In my personal opinion, I think it is easy to fool the low quality of sake by the outstanding acidity and easy to adjust it by setting up the sweetness 🤔. I think it is easy to disguise the low quality of the sake by the outstanding acidity, and it is also easy to adjust it by setting up sweetness 🤔. I will be checking out this sake in the future 🤗

The rice used is Yamadanishiki and Shunyo. This is Izumo no Kuni's newest brewery, created (reborn) last year. Naturally, it was the first time for us to visit. The image of sake in this area is that of powerful sake-like sake, all of which are unique. This sake is unique in the sense that it is, but the image has been overturned. It is very fruity and lightly sweet and sour, with a pleasant citrus bitterness spreading from the sweetness and acidity. The mouthfeel is clear and crisp. It is a wonderful bottle as a food sake. ❣️ We will keep an eye on it in the future: ‼️

Overall 9 (out of 10) I had my first Shimane sake 🍶😃. I got it from Pekho-san. According to the description of the sake shop It's a "fruity and full of flavor" sake! Delicious 😋. It is a light, astringent and delicious 🍶. More of a sense of breadth than a sense of depth. Simple and straight rather than complex and harmonious Consistent throughout rather than a change in flavor. The astringency brings out the umami of the rice in a good way. I got such an impression 😋. It was gone in no time at all😅 I served it chilled. The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows. 　-Aroma: A strong aroma of rice. 　-Aroma: Slightly astringent taste that passes through the nose. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum) 　-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1 　-Rice flavor: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt】→3 Small number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

I went to Tabe Takeshita Sake Brewery and Sake Brewery Museum 😆. But all the sake was sold out there 😭 So I went to a liquor store that sells this sake and bought Rihachi👍. I wanted to drink it and I couldn't bear to end up not being able to buy it 😣. But I'm glad I was able to buy it safely 😌. I've had this drink before and I know it's good, so I feel safe drinking it 😌. I wasn't sure whether to buy Rihachi's white label or black label, but this time I went with this one ✨. It's consistently delicious 😋.

Rice used is Fumei Purchased at Fukuoka Airport There was also a limited edition sake for the airport, but I'll get back to that later. It's more like a sour or a juice, or something like that. It's not too sweet, so it's easy to drink. Depending on the food and the situation, I think this is also possible...

Japanese>English

Not actually sure when I drank this but I’m pretty sure I drank it with Grace and Eddy. I remember it being floral and refined, not surprising considering it’s a JG!

Hakata Hyakunenkura Shiboritate Junmai-shu Namaishu 17% 70%. Purchased at a brewery in Hakata. It was a beautiful facility with a lot of attention to detail for tourism. Many foreigners visit the brewery. This Shiboritate Junmai sake has a strong raw sake flavor. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel lactic acidity, astringency like grape skin, and spiciness in that order. The body is strong and very drinkable. It has a strong body and is very satisfying to drink. The sake brewery was more solid than I expected. If I visit Fukuoka again, I will stop by. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20231119

Downhill Sake Story Event 3) From the Itami Laematsu Sake Brewery, established in 1688, we drank "Laematsu" Itamigo Special Honjozo, a highly prestigious sake for the Shogun. It has the flavor of honjozo and a smooth throat. It is also good as heated sake. A joint sake brewing song was performed. The song was sung in slightly different tunes at each brewery. It was a nice touch. The symbol of Kobe, the Port Tower🗼, is closed for renovation work.

When I poured it into a sake cup, I was surprised by its banana-like aroma! When I drank it, I was surprised again by its melon-like flavor! And the taste is still dry! I found an interesting sake.

Japanese>English

Purchased when I went to Itami after New Year's. It went well with my meal.

I found a sake tasting place near Yamagata Station. I didn't know such a place existed. I found one in Niigata before. I wonder if there is one in each prefecture. The taste is light, dry, and refreshing. The aftertaste is short and sharp. You can also taste the umami of the rice.

Japanese>English

At a soba restaurant near Yamagata Station when I returned home. They use water from Antarctic ice. It has a beautiful ginjo aroma. The taste is light and dry, with a crisp acidity. There is also a slight bitterness, and the taste may be quite complex.

This sake is brewed by Umeshiki Yamakawa, a subsidiary of the major sake maker Hakutsuru Shuzo. In recent years, Hakutsuru Shuzo has purchased a number of breweries from across Japan. The Aomori-based brewer Momokawa, which uses Hakutsuru Nishiki, is also a subsidiary company of Hakutsuru Shuzo. Not much of an aroma, slight whiff of alcohol. Dry, watery and clean on the palate, with little umami and a slight alu taste. After drinking it, it has a light throat feeling with a faint sweetness. It is a standard shokuchu sake. For the snacks, we had stewed kalbi and root vegetables, mussel pickled in soy sauce, chili bonito sakutome, and baby star ramen with the flavor of kondashi. It goes best with sakabuto, which enhances its sweetness.

Japanese>English

Next was a sake I'd never seen before, so here it is. As soon as you take a sip, a very unique habit spreads! What is this? What a shocking taste! Looking at the label carefully, I found a hint of plum flavor? If it's the astringent bitter taste of plum, I'm convinced: 🙂‍↕️ I don't think I'll ever drink it again😅.

Japanese>English

The first drink of the day. I drank it cold. It is fruity and has a sake-like taste. It is relatively light and easy to drink. I read in another post that it has a plum aroma when heated, so I thought I'd like to try it.

Acidity and sweetness are neutral, with a slight citrusy ginjo aroma. The aroma is slightly citrusy with a hint of ginjo, but the taste is still a bit bitter for a junmai sake. Considering the price of 1,150 yen (tax not included), it is a good value as a mid-meal sake.

Japanese>English

I thought it was a delicious sake with a tangy sensation followed by a slight sourness and bitterness that was sharp and tasty.

HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024③. Rakuraku zuru? Tano-no-zuru? No, it's Sasazuru 😁. Izushi Sake Brewery's 200 year old red clay warehouse still exists. Even more acidic than Sennenichi. Overall, it is refreshing. I thought it would be extremely spicy, but it is quite easy to drink. Of the B set, Nada Ichi is my favorite. I heard later that this brewery doesn't make it anymore and that it might contain sake from a famous brewery in the Tajima area 🤔. 🤔. It's ok if it tastes good even if they don't brew it themselves 😋. I was also interested in the King Brewery Inami that koge2 and Wakata-san were drinking, but I decided to skip it this time because it's available at Yamaya and I don't need to drink it now!
