Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku Junmai Arigokudaimai Very graininess and fullness, enhanced by acidity and astringency, but it needs to be heated. A heated sake corner is a must! Yamadanishiki 80 This one is also very dry and powerful! I asked where they sell it... Seriously, I have nothing to do! I want to go to Hattori Ryokuchi and buy some!

5.0/10.0 Local sake from Aichi prefecture. The barrel aroma is amazing.

Japanese>English

Full-bodied ginjo aroma🪙. In the mouth, a slightly heavy sweetness and a unique umami taste escape through the nose, and a light acidity rounds it all out😗. The price is reasonable and I can't complain, but enjoy it as a food sake: ☺️🍽️

Japanese>English

It is also easy to drink, but a little spicier than the yeast 1801 from the same brewery.

At the tasting. Junmai Daiginjo fire-aged Gohyakumangoku. It is mellow, sweet, and beautiful. It has the same label as the affordable unfiltered raw sake sold at Yamaya, but this one was more expensive at 3,300 yen.

Japanese>English

At tasting. Fruity, sweet and mellow. It was sweeter and tastier than the raw sake, but it was more expensive, so I decided to buy the unfiltered raw sake directly from Kameguchi in Kayama.

Japanese>English

I also bought this at Yamaya. The aroma is like a pineapple. It has a mild sweetness and a juicy flavor. This is one of my personal favorites from DHC Sake Brewery. It's been a while since I drank their sake, but it's still delicious. There is a big change in the taste after opening. The pungent taste became more prominent. The pineapple aroma also disappeared. The gradation of the bottle is beautiful.

A limited edition sake brand from a nearby shop. Hiya. Mild umami from the head to the aftertaste.

Japanese>English

This is probably the easiest to drink. It has a standard feel to it. The spiciness is just right and it is easy to drink. It is a good sake for beginners to try.

Japanese>English

It is a little spicy and tasty. Junmai Ginjo has more sharpness. Sweetness may be moderate. You can feel the alcohol in the taste. It is delicious. I think this one will be a hit too.

First time! Kirinzan....not much aroma....sweet and bitter, then sharp! Enjoy the delicious taste of Koshitanrei. The best and strongest for Niigata sake 🍶Meal sake 🍶 🍶 😀 Today, I'm having dinner with seasonal "Kogomi" and "Asatsuki" & Sashimi.......enjoying the spring ☘️

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

Junmai Ginjo specification. Sweetness and umami are mild.

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

A reminder of our outing on 12/9🍶. We enjoyed it deliciously(^-^)/

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

Purchased at the Nohmi Sake Shop, 2,690 yen per bottle. I thought it tasted a little strong right after opening the bottle, but after replacing the bottle with a 4-gou bottle, I started sipping it slowly, and the strength of the alcohol (15%) became less noticeable. The sake I drank after the pool!

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) Very rich rice-derived sweet flavor. Freshness is moderate and dry. This is the royal road to deliciousness! I don't see many dry sake in Nagano Prefecture, but the occasional dry sake has a rich, mellow flavor.

#Funabori# SENDAI-YA My favorite liquor store in my neighborhood is not open because of GW 😭. It's not open 😭. The first time I visited this liquor store, wine is the mainstream. The first time I visited the liquor store, wine was the mainstream and there was no sake. The only one I bought was a little sweet, but it was delicious. It's a little sweet, but it's delicious. It was 880 yen for a four-pack... It was served with dinner, and it was indeed sweet, but not too much... and it had a good flavor... It was very cosy 😆😆. It was easy to drink, and it was empty in no time😅😅.

I bought some fire-activated nigori at the co-op because it looked interesting... so much moromi... ！！！！！ I looked it up and found that there is also active nigoromi... Sorry I only have a picture of it after mixing! I know the nigori in Niidashizenshuu and the nigori in this season's Sasasamune have a lot of moromi, but this is probably even better than that! The impact is amazing! Isn't it about 70-80% of the bottle? What is this? When you drink it... it's thick! As you can see, the rice flavor is coming forward. There is a slight alcohol taste, but it also has a banana smoothie-like flavor that is not too classic, making it easy to drink. It is thick, but if you cool it down and drink it, it is surprisingly easy to drink. In any case, it is quite strong, so it would be good with Chinese dishes with strong flavors. It would be better with Chinese food that has a strong flavor, such as stewed eggplant, grilled fish, or simmered dishes, as the richness of the sake would drown it out. I think I'll try it with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd sauce. LOL! Thankfully, it is fire-roasted, so you can drink it slowly and leisurely over several days. It doesn't lose its flavor and is very useful when the food has a strong taste.
