At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

Every year I look forward to the Risshun morning pressing... this year, I'm going to enjoy a bottle of TENRANZAN! When the bottle is opened, it has a pleasant fruity aroma...freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, and fresh because it is freshly pressed...the balance of sweet and bitter is unstable, with a certain sharpness...but the aftertaste is crisp! Delicious!

It has a fresh taste and the alcohol and presence that only original sake can provide.

At the beginning of the New Year, I enjoy the local sake 🍶Tenranzan Hatsu Shibori (first pressing), which I received as a gift, and since it is an ale-added, honjozo sake, it is more of a food sake than a straight sake...fresh as it is raw...my favorite horse sashimi and oseki (New Year) as a snack.... Enjoying the New Year's Day with my favorite horse sashimi and oshibushi....

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.
The second drink at Sugitama is a cedar ball with the name of the restaurant Fittingly, the cedar ball is a cruel octopus sausage! And the adults-only potato salad✨! The poor octopus sausage was crispy and delicious 🥰. Now, about the sake. The aroma is alcoholic. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, with a clear umami (or sweetness) and soft acidity. It's a pretty fresh feeling sake...I didn't notice any spiciness.

Trophies of the GW Kanazawa - Takayama trip. When I think of canned draft sake, I think of Kikusui Ichiban Shibori, but since this sake is also from Ishikawa Prefecture, which is famous for its sake, my expectations naturally went up. The design of the can is also austere. Chill it in the refrigerator and open the bottle! Oh, you can feel a slight shwash and a refreshing sweetness (Kikusui Funakuchi Ichiban Shibori has a mellow sweetness). It's delicious. When the temperature settles down a little, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a repeat purchase. I hope they sell it in Kansai too!

This sake has a soft sweetness and a wonderful acidity that seems to seep in gradually. Yes, it is a delicious sake.

I bought this sake as a souvenir from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The owner did not recommend it, but I bought it because of its name and appearance. It is a pure sake, so it is not crystal clear and leaves a strong aftertaste, but that is what makes it so good. But it is good. (How can I say it is like a "Kaimo" shochu?). It is easy to drink because of its refreshing taste.

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...
