At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

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.

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 🤗

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.

Summer sake already. I know it's a seasonal bug, but isn't it too early for seasonal products too? It is crisp. It has a nice sharpness. It's like summer sake. Personally, I prefer it a little livelier.

Special Junmai-shu with 60% polished rice ratio This sake is brewed by the method called "Jusui-Jikomi". When poured into a glass, there is a strong ginjo aroma at first. When you take a sip, it is mellow and full. It is full of umami and sweetness, and has a rich taste. It's a flavor that will knock your socks off! This is a limited version of "Tokusui Junmai-shu". The sake is bottled and sealed as soon as possible after bottling, so it can only be tasted at the mouth of the tank. It is said to be a rare gem with a limited distribution. It's delicious!

Year-end party with company friends Deep drinking as usual by Mr. Jikon It's meat. I still don't understand "It's minced meat" but I used it because I ate meat. I'm a sore uncle. This yuto. It was dark and delicious. I thought it was Ibaraki, but it was Gunma.

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Exchange item with chikumo. Thanks for everything 😆. First Den-emon GOZ! At lower temperatures it's refreshing 😆. When the temperature goes up, the taste is fuller and you don't get tired of drinking it ✨👍👍. I never get tired of drinking it ✨👍 I'm sure I'll be back for more 🥰. Oh! I was going to make beef stew. I bought the ingredients but forgot to buy the roux 😅😅. but I forgot to buy the roux😅. I had no choice I ate a cup of noodles 🤣. I'll make beef stew later.

Last week I visited Dewano-Fuji at Hankyu Department Store, but I went to Umemoto Sake-ten in Nishinakajima because I thought I could find more variety at a special distributor. (Note that they have moved from the location shown on the map of Sake-no-wa, and they have a corner bar inside after 4:00 p.m.) I was a bit lost, so I asked the waitress and she let me try a sample. Melon-like fruity sweet taste. Slightly refreshing? It was delicious, but Junmai Arabashiri seemed rarer, so I bought that one 😊.

The beautiful kaleidoscope-like label is impressive. The taste is sweet with a hint of bitterness at the end. It is refreshing and crisp, but the screw was unusually hard to open, so I think it should be improved. The Junmai Unfiltered Nama-jyu I drank at the end of the year was cheaper and much tastier. I don't know if it's because they use Miyamanishiki, but it tastes a little like the Jokigen I had the other day. A bit 🍇ish.

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time. I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The label is very cool. The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations. The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔. I opened it for 2 days and drank it.... It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳. This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up. It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

I had my first bottle of Shinshin in spring and it was delicious! I was able to get a bottle of Shinshin's summer sake, and I immediately opened it 😋. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste like summer sake🤣. It's as refreshing as the label says and perfect for a hot day like today 👍 thanks for the drink❗️

It's been a while since I've had Okayama sake. This is the first time I've had Shinshin, but it's refreshing, easy to drink, and makes an excellent food sake. It's delicious😌. I'd like to try other kinds of Shinshin or Winter Moon.

Junmai Namaishige🍶 colander ✨Yamada Nishiki from Tottori Prefecture🌾. Warmed up with ♨️ It is spicy and a little bitter. It has a strong rice flavor and is easy to pair with a meal. It has a sense of maturity with its R3 brewing year. The label on the back says it can be mixed with soda, so I'd like to try it next time I come across it 🤔. Sake and Robata-yaki Unari @ Omiya

I took the liberty of drinking this sake thinking it was pure rice. The first sip was a bit harsh, but the next sip was a thick and sweet saké. If you taste it well, it has a fresh feeling, which makes it an interesting sake. I think it was a good choice for the New Year, as it is more like amazake sake. I think it would be delicious warmed up, but I haven't tried it.
