At home. The color is eye-catching. It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, with soda, or hot, but I had it on the rocks. I can't deny that the aroma is pulled in by the color, but it smells like red wine? And grainy? It's quite special. When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and sour taste stands out, and at the beginning of the drink, you feel a unique and strong sourness. It was a gem that I have never drunk before.

Sake brewed from ancient rice. The color is reddish. It may be a good challenge for those who cannot drink sake. The acidity is strong and I found it similar to the taste of Shaoxing sake. It is not suitable for those who are looking for a standard sake, but in a sense, it may be a sake that matches the times, as we now live in a world that demands diversity.

When poured into a glass, it is a purple colored liquor💜The aroma is like a mild grape🍇😚and in the mouth it tastes like a grape again, with a good balance of sweet and sour 😊👍It tastes like Shaoxing wine or red wine 😘It is a delicious liquor and I finished off 300ml 😋. The fourth picture is my first crotchless shot 📸 at Amanohashidate 😁It was a beautiful view ✨🥳.

Quite a fine Junmai Daiginjo sake. There is enough mellow deliciousness. It is a talented brewery in Saitama. Aside from Kamikame, it is the second best sake in Saitama after Hanayo-yoku.

This is the first time I drink it at home. I bought it from Kurumiya in Hachinohe because they only sell one bottle of sake in my neighborhood. I also bought two other kinds of sake that cannot be bought in Kansai. The packaging was very careful and excellent. The aroma is subtle, with hints of strawberries and berries. The refreshing sweetness and acidity are pleasant. The final taste is bitter. I have the impression that Miyamanishiki and other sake I have had in the past were sweeter. I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy Shugou... I heard that the sake brewery here is aging, with all the employees over 65 years old. I wonder if that's why they don't distribute much.

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 😋.

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.

As the name suggests, it was a very refreshing and spring-like sake with a strong acidity.

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.

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.

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.

Local Itami Sake in Tohoku We wanted to do this once. We brought okaki (Japanese crackers) as snacks. It's nice to have a familiar local taste plus the feeling of traveling! After the bitter taste, a subtle aroma spreads in your mouth! It goes well with the soy sauce flavored Okaki, but I'm worried about the sugar content 😭 I mean... here we are. If only we'd come a little earlier... it's a sad sight... although it's a traveler's dream

Today is the day before a business trip via my parents' house It's a petit drinking iron. Two sake breweries in my hometown of Itami: Shumatsu and Hakusetsu (Konishi Shuzo). First, let's start with Omamatsu... With side dishes from a nearby Kansai supermarket 😊. Old pine is a sweet sake. This sweet sake is delicious. It also has a little bitterness, and surprisingly, the aftertaste is delicious, with no sweetness remaining, only a lingering aftertaste!

Preferred: ★★★★☆☆ Cold sake: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Cold: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Lukewarm: ★★★★ When cold or chilled, it has an impressive aftertaste of bitterness and a slight gaseous sensation. When heated, the gaseous sensation subsides and a moderate aroma spreads, and a slight sweetness can be felt after the restrained bitterness. The common characteristics are a good balance of sharpness, aroma, and flavor. Serve with rolled egg, sardine nigiri, and warm udon noodles.

It is a new brand of Maruishi Brewery, famous for its ni rabbit. The first aroma is faintly sweet. When you take it into your mouth, you will taste umami and sweetness with a deep, mild acidity. It has a lingering mild umami taste, and it finishes gradually. The mild acidity of the sake is accented by the mellow acidity of the sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.

Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake🍶. A little yellow. Mellow ☺️. As the name suggests, it's round 😅. A little schwar✨. Sweet and fruity. Between melon and pear 🍈. Matches well with thick fried tofu👍When paired with shime saba (mackerel), it's tangy and spicy. The smell does not spread and it is delicious. Lactic acidic. So it's from the sake brewery of Nisato🐇🤔. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki, drinking at home 20230721
