Looks like a new brewery: 🙇‍♂️ It's called sake, but it seems to be junmai (no mention of rice polishing ratio) 🌾. It rises with herbs, cream, and lychee ❔ pear ❔. The acidity is distinctive ❕, but it's not just light and fresh. But it's not just light, it's a solid, elegant, high quality sake ✨. I felt a very modern essence in a classic 🤔. And with this flavor, it is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm ❔. I tried it 🍶. Lukewarm changes the atmosphere of the acidity, it's sweet and sour like hot honey lemon 🍋. It's refreshing to begin with, but even more so: ☺️ It's also a great food sake 👍. I recommend drinking it cold to lukewarm, but after trying many different ways, I thought cold or lukewarm would be better 🤗.

It has a strong umami taste of rice, with a good balance of sweetness and umami, and a roundness that makes it easy to pair with dishes with umami. It has a slight fruity flavor, so it does not interfere with dishes. It has a round taste with sweetness and umami. It is just the right sake.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.

It's going to be a vegetable-centered menu with cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, and ... for the summer as it gets hotter. Dinner with sake from the countryside. It is a refreshing and royal sake of Echigo, light and dry, and fits for dinner. The brewery is located next to Niigata Prefectural Ojiya High School, where I went to school, and the main brand is Chojazakari.

Japanese>English

This Sake is slightly dry with an earthy aroma. There are flavors of mushroom and wood. Sweetness and acidity are present towards the end. The flavor profile is different from other Niigata Sake I have tried. Guess I need to drink more Sake. 😁

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

Drunken Garden in Azumino, Shinshu. I was curious to buy it because it is 59% Hitogokochi, a Nagano Prefecture sake. As the label says, it is a refreshing sake with a delicious flavor. It is not at the top level of popular Nagano sake, but it has a glimpse of Nagano's sake character.

Memorandum It looks like a classic type, but it's not. Slightly effervescent and refreshing but with a robust flavor and taste, it's not light but for some reason it's a dangerous one that goes down easy (P.S.U.M.). It's really a "hodenasu" 😅 Personal rating 7.5/10 points

Japanese>English

It's out again this year! Hode Nasu! It's a tag-team sake from Kadoden Brewery, which is also known as a metamorphosis of rice, and Hagino Brewery, which is known as one of the best sweet and sour brewers in Miyagi Prefecture. While the heady aroma is modest, the tangy gassiness gives the sake a strong umami presence. The sweetness and acidity typical of Hagino Brewery are also present. It is covered with lees and is very satisfying to drink! It is a dangerous sake with a sharpness that makes it easy to drink. Please don't abuse it. Sake words without permission 〜The best combination of old and new, the best combination of super beasts... Thank you very much for the food and drink!

Sake comparison at home! We chose 3 kinds of sake from "Fukumitsuya", a long-established sake brewery in Kanazawa. Fukumasa Munune Junmai Dry, Nama Zume. This was the first sake made with black malted rice. I felt a bit salty, but I wondered if this was the richness found in sake made with "black koji"? Wind, Water, Man, Junmai 9 It is a junmai sake with an alcohol content of 9 degrees Celsius and a refreshing taste. I would like to drink it with pasta or Italian food! Fukumaso Sake: Hyoketsu Nama-Shu Dry With a sake alcohol content of +10%, it has a very strong sake taste! I would like to drink it with a salty meal and sip it while neutralizing the taste. It was interesting to compare the different types of sake and to see the difference between them. ☺️

The king of light and dry taste. It has a clean and refreshing taste. It is suitable for drinking with food. But it is also good for savoring the taste of the hardy rice It is also good for savoring. It is made from Gohyakumangoku at a 45% polishing ratio.

At home. Sake tasting party with friends after a long time. We brought our own sake. First up was a local sake from Echigo-Yuzawa, a gem bearing the name of the first head of the Shirataki Sake Brewery. The aroma is gorgeous, and in the mouth you can taste the acidity and umami, with a slight lingering alcohol taste. It leaves a slightly bitter or rough feeling in the back of the throat. The Shirotaki Shuzo is known for its Kouzen Nyosui, which has a fuller aroma and taste compared to the Kouzen Nyosui. The bottle was also unusual, with an innovative volume of 630 ml. This is the first brand I've seen and the taste is great. ‼️

Japanese>English

Shirotaki sake from Echigo-Yuzawa's "Shirotaki" and "Kamizen Josui" breweries. Minatoya Tousuke is the name of the founder. It has been quite a while. Junmai Daiginjo with 50% polishing. It has a peachy, elegant aroma and a smooth mouthfeel👍.
