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 😊.

Japanese>English

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.

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.

The balance between the two is very good, making it a beautiful sake that can be easily enjoyed on its own. Repeat Score 2.5

Launch at Jiyugaoka (5) The fifth drink was Echigo Den'emon Gozu! Unique label, first time to drink! I found on the internet that the number "5" has various meanings. It seems to be made by polishing 50% of "Gohyakumangoku", Life goes on.(Life GOZ on.) It is an ironic subculture that expresses positivity, akin to resignation toward one's own life, which is full of peaks and valleys, but one still has to live on (according to the producer's data), Is it a little muddy? A little soft. A touch of sweetness Fresh acidity

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.

My first time at Hanaizumi. And nigori sake! This season, there are a variety of nigori sake, which is very enjoyable. First, the top clear sake. It is moderately sour. After stirring it, it becomes more rounded. The texture is silky (is that the right word?). The glutinous rice is not perceived, though I like rice cakes. I like rice cakes, but I think it's dry. I want to eat Karami rice cake.

Tonight, we will return to Nigori Sake Road and open this bottle 💁. Hanaizumi Jungin Akkatsu Nigorizake 2023BY ✨✨✨✨ It was active, but since it had been absent for a while, it was easy to open the bottle. As usual, we will drink only the top clearings first. It's a bit of lactic acidity, a bit gassy on the tongue, and a nice dry finish 😋😋😋😋😋 After mixing the lees, it's a round adult calpis soda🥤 and it doesn't stop there. I'm still going to enjoy nigori sake 🙌

Tochigi Prefectural Association 🍓 Women's Association 🤭😉🤗🐥① Thank you for giving Tsubu a detailed review: 🙏🏻 Please excuse the duplicate review: 🙇🏻‍♀️ short... The toast was Tsuji Zenbei, from the Tochigi sake drinking contest. It is a sake from Moka city, a neighbor of Utsunomiya. 💁🏻‍♀️ It has a soft mouthfeel and a nice, clear, high acidity sharpness...

PREMIUM S 1800ml Ingredients ... Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), Brewer's alcohol Rice used ... 100% domestic rice Rice polishing ratio ... 68 Alcohol percentage ... 16 We had it bundled with Urasato Usu Nigori. I was attracted by the concept of cheap and tasty sake. If you try to get rid of the miscellaneous flavors, you lose the umami, and I wondered how it was possible to keep it. I felt that the umami was more pronounced on the second and third days than on the first day. I wonder if I expected a little too much, but I am curious to know how it is in the local market.

Japanese>English

I've never had this sake before❗️. There are many delicious sake in Tochigi, so I'm looking forward to opening the bottle 😀. The aroma is subdued❗️ I'm not sure if this is the first time I've had it, but I'm sure it will be the last. When the temperature rises slightly, the sweetness and sourness are refined and the aftertaste disappears like water👍. The overall balance of the sake was good and it was very easy to drink😄.

It is a deeply flavored sake. The ginjo aroma increased my appetite. The refreshing aftertaste made me drink too much 😵🍺🌀.

Japanese>English

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.

#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.

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Japanese>English

It's very mature for a spring sake, but I guess that's what nighttime cherry blossoms are for. There is a slightly floral aroma, but it's not enough to bother me, just enough to change my attention a bit. It is gentle and tasty, but the line is thin and I would like to see more thickness.

Last night was a get-together. We brought our own sake, assuming it wouldn't be too much since it was an all-you-can-drink course at an izakaya chain restaurant. (I got the restaurant's approval!) I bought my first bottle of Vice Shogun. The aroma is fresh and fruity. The mouthfeel is salty-sweet with a hint of sourness. The ginjo aroma becomes a pleasant aftertaste, and is finished off with a mild sourness and bitterness. I thought it was based on a light dry base, but I could feel Aizan's character, and it was very tasty. The fact that everyone who drank it gave it high marks probably indicates that they were paying attention to me. I also like the cost performance of Aizan's Junmai Daiginjo, which is under 2,000 yen! Thank you very much for your hospitality!
