The 6th Annual Japanese Sake Festival (1929) The first green sake, which I drank only once many years ago. I drank it once many years ago. Hatsugoroku Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu I think it was quite fruity and sweet. Okuhida Junmai Shiboritate Nama Sake I think it had a strong freshness, but the others didn't leave much of an impression...

Next, Yokobue. This one is also described as dry, but compared to the first glass of Reito, it was fruity and less spicy! It was easy to drink and I downed a whole bottle in no time!

YOKOBUE - Junmai-brewed Ume-shu (plum wine) 720ml Ingredients: Sake, plums, glacial sugar Alcohol content 11%. This was purchased at the brewery's store in November. This plum wine was the best among all the ones we tasted 😀. After the 3rd day of Honkin, I drank straight Umeshu (plum wine). 11 degrees, but I got drunk very fast. Sometimes plum wine is good... â

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!

Purchased at a roadside station in Nagano. Alkuma is cute. The aroma is apple-like. It says "Don't drink too much", but I can drink it like water. O my God, Alkuma! In a way, I'm glad it's a cup of sake. The sweetness and umami are asserted in a moderate way, so it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Alkuma cup bought at a Nagano products exhibition in Ginza. It is said to be brewed with spring water from the Saruko-no-spring, which was selected as one of the 100 best waters by the Ministry of the Environment. It has a mild and soft taste. It has a sweet taste with a clean aftertaste. You can feel the deliciousness of the pure water and the tangy aftertaste is pleasant. Don't drink too much! is on the package, but it is so delicious that you want to drink too much. Ingredients Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content 15 Rice polishing ratio 55

This is also in the Co-op catalog. The moment you put it in your mouth, it's refreshing and mild, but in the latter half, a fruity feeling comes. It has a strong feeling for its strength.

I was curious about it in an obfuscation kind of way, so I bought a trial. It's been sitting in my cellar for over a year for some reason, but let's see how it tastes 👀. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it was moist and had a peachy aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, just like the name "Sarari". It is just as moist and slightly sweet as the aroma, and tastes just like a peach! The slightly green and sour taste gives the taste a hint of Mac's pickles 🍔. I didn't know that "chirp" means "birdsong. I've gained another piece of knowledge via sake 😌.

Tasted and purchased at a store sale🍶. First time I've seen this brand. I wonder if anyone can read this from the beginning 😅.
