This sake is made by Shimazaki Shuzo in Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Smooth on the tongue and sweet in taste, this is a sake to be drunk slowly.

Japanese>English

Smooth texture on the tongue. It is a delicious sake with matured flavor and sweetness. It goes down your throat and has a deep flavor.

Japanese>English

Special sake that I got as a gift when visiting the shuzo. It is new year blended koshu released from the brewery every new year time. It blended the Daiginjo from year 1989, 2001 & 2013. Surprisingly, its still very light body - unlike other koshu which makes you too full. I like the aroma, while soy sauce and umami is significant, you can also feel the raisin, dried grapes inside. On palate it leans more towards coffee, toffee & dark chocolate. Serving hot is a good choice too.

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

Sometimes a cup of sake, a Niigata souvenir 🍶Classic taste, but with a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste 😋Thanks for the delicious taste!

Japanese>English

Ofuku Sake Brewery is located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, near the entrance to the former Yamakoshi Village. This kind of I have often drunk it in a glass one-cup cup, but it is now in an aluminum can. There may be a difference in the mouthfeel of the container, but the taste is a classic, slightly umami-ish standard sake, but it feels smooth. The second image is a view of terraced rice paddies (tanaike) in the former Yamakoshi Village.

Japanese>English

Ofuku Masamune Junmai Daiginjo. On September 20, I participated in the Echigo Nagaoka Sake-no-Ten (Echigo Nagaoka Sake Festival) and stayed overnight in Nagaoka. The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, it tastes sweet and sour like white grapes. Sweet and not too sweet...the exquisite sugar content keeps my sake cup full. Well, however, it was truly a sake-soaked time. I drank so much yesterday that I gave up tasting in the hotel's guest lounge. And today we drank again at the Yoshinogawa museum and at the Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. That was fun.

Smells like pear with a hint of alcohol. Sweet! The sweetness reminds me of sugar. When swallowing, there is a fluffy flavor reminiscent of rice, and there is also a taste of fruit juice, but the sweetness stands out. There is a carbonation feeling. I want to drink it again tomorrow. It is sweet. The second day. Slightly carbonated. The second day is easier to drink.

Japanese>English

(* '☆')☆🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Kawanakajima today 😀. The aroma is a little bit of rice flavor 😊The taste in the mouth is light and a little bit dry 😚The mild umami spreads slowly and then it cuts through quickly 🥰. It's a sake that seems to go well with all kinds of meals 🥳.

Japanese>English

( *^艸^)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been so long since I've had Kawanakajima Genmai that I don't know how many years it's been since I've had it 😋. The aroma is gentle yet elegant 😊The palate has a gentle rice flavor with a very clean and crisp finish 😚👍. It's really easy to drink and a delicious sake that goes well with food 🥳✨.

Fizzy Young Sweetness Umami Astringent Firm Bitterness Juicy

Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag? It is delicious, but maybe too elegant. It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

Japanese>English

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.

Japanese>English

This sake is limited to two liquor stores, one in Sakai and the other in Kishiwada. Only 12 bottles are in stock, so the next time I come back, there won't be any left, so I was allowed to try a special sample before purchasing. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a low alcohol content and is sweet with a gentle taste. It is low in alcohol, but you can feel the fullness of the flavor. It has no gaseous feeling, but it is fresh. It can be used by itself or with food. Shimada Special is delicious no matter what you drink.

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Japanese>English

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Japanese>English

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

First time to drink a Hokkaido sake 🍶Fresh citrusy aroma? Sweet and bitter on the palate...maybe a little bitter....sharp aftertaste! The aftertaste is good, but... a little bit of a tangy taste? I wonder if it is a characteristic of the sake rice... is it like this? Hmmm... it's a little bitter...

Japanese>English

(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had a hiyayoroshi of Ezokuma from Hokkaido 😀. The aroma is mild 😊The sourness and umami taste you feel in your mouth is well balanced, with a slight sweetness😚It has a strong flavor 💕It has a good sharpness 🤔It is a delicious sake that would go well with anything 😘.

Japanese>English

The rice is comet. It is sweeter than the junmai ginjos I have had in the past. After the gentle, fluffy sweetness, the bitterness comes quickly and then converges. It gives the impression of being sweet and bitter. Well, I regret buying Gokotsuru when I had a hard time deciding.

(- 迭- )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got a sake called Chushingura that I got as a gift 😀 It says it's first shibori-nama-shu but it was aged at room temperature for more than 6 months 🤣Strong style 🔥💪🏾 but I chilled it before drinking 👀. The aroma is mild🤔. When you put it in your mouth, the rich flavor of rice 🌾 spreads in your mouth 😊👍and it has a nice sharpness so it's a very drinkable sake 😚👌. I don't know about the original raw, but this is a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

The young president showed us around and explained everything and we had a lot of tasting. Sakagoshi townscape was very nice ✴️Old house cafe boom ☕😃☀️

Japanese>English

The second drink at Maeda-Ya is also the first brewery, Chushingura by Okudo Shoji! This time, it was 47 quatresept. The waitress said it was a little sweeter than the other two! Let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. The shift from sweetness and minerality to bitterness and spiciness in the mouth is very nice! It has a strong impression of umami and complexity, and the lingering aftertaste is slightly bitter and full-bodied. When served with a meal, it has a nice sweetness, making it a great sake to pair with meals.

I bought it for a souvenir, but a customer traveling from Hokkaido🐴 gave me some chocolates and I didn't have any on hand, so I had to rush to the store and drink it with everyone, including my sister🥂. I heard it was only medium-hot, but it's still hot ❗️. I want to warm up some 👩 for my sister! I just had a reflective stove. (I was boiling daikon radish for oden 🍢) I'd love to heat up some sake with this 👩 It's not a fashionable place, but it's a very relaxing and nice place 🥰. I'll see you later 🎁🙏🏻

Japanese>English

Morioka! I chose the sake to go with the stylish snacks. This is also my first time. Nice choice by me. It is nice and clear and dry. Iwate's dry sake has no grandfather. The dialect in the store is nice. It makes the sake go down a treat!
