At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

I heard it's easy to drink to death, delicious, and popular among young people because it's so easy to drink the famous brew here.

Japanese>English

This is a honeydew melon flavored sake meal スムージー (makekasu smoothie), not wine. It uses ingredients such as sake meal from Yuomachi rice, honeydew melon syrup, ice cream, and honeydew melon juice. The creaminess of the ice cream blends completely with the sake meal to create a sweet kolpis-like flavor. This is a very interesting drink.

Chinese>English

The wine has subtle bubbles and distinct flavors of honeydew melon and green apple. The label, like Akabu's "Amber," has an orange-yellow visual design that makes you look forward to the coming fall and the maple leaves on the mountains. The tagline also depicts the tranquility of an airplane landing after flying over the 99-mile coast in the setting sun.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

Japanese>English

I received this from my wife's brother!

Chidori Masamune is a Japanese sake from Sanda City! It is packed with umami, and although brewer's alcohol is added, the lingering aftertaste is amazing! Even when heated, the flavor is outstanding, and it is the best of the best!

IWA5 Assemblage3, a sake designed by a foreigner who brews Dom Perignon. It has a beautiful taste, but it tastes like koji, and I wonder if it is akin to Shinmasa's Flax Cat or something like that. But it is delicious. But it's delicious.

Seems to be an insanely expensive liquor. The lid is made of glass

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This year I got the 33rd batch of Jr. Aizan, which I failed to buy last year 😀 The Banshu Aizan is polished to 33 and is a luxury product. The aroma is gorgeous, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the nose is refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet and delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had the Jr. Series Juicy Dry 🙌. The aroma is mild, and when you put it in your mouth it changes from delicious to slightly dry and then disappears quickly. Kudokukidake has a strong umami taste to it, so this dry taste was fresh and tasty 😀.

Japanese>English

(**Ohmami*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had Kudoki-jote 😀 The aroma is slightly fresh muscat 🤔The drink is completely different from the previous Kudoku Ute 😙It's not a strong sweet and tasty sake but a refreshingly juicy and acidic sake 😚Jr. It was like a change of pace for Jr.

After buying some sake at Sukumasa, we left the store and were greeted with rain and winds like we've never experienced before. I thought to myself, "This is a typhoon," but my umbrella was overturned and my shoes and pants were soaking wet💦. If only I had bothered a little more at Sukumasa, maybe I wouldn't have gotten wet 🤣. Moved to Namba and went to Takashimaya while watching the liquor section of Ikari supermarket. MURASHIGE SHUZO who brought a strange sake that was dry but sour at last year's Takashimaya Sake Festival! I heard that the perverted sake was sold out, so the main sake was Kinkan Kuromatsu. We drank Junmai Daiginjo It is labeled as -8 on the sake meter, but it has a classic taste with not so much sweetness. It tastes not like a daiginjo and is very unique. It looks good heated up. A little nutty? Junmai I heard it's a sake for evening drinking, but it has a lot of acidity. This is also a classic, but it has acidity and is easy to drink. Junmai Ginjo Less acidic than Junmai. The most orthodox, but not memorable. Junmai Daiginjo Nishiki Beautiful taste, but less flamboyant. I also tasted a 1 year old junmai from MURASHIGE and 3 types of EIGHT KOTT, and bought the test brew of EIGHT KOTT because it was delicious 😋. Finally, I stopped by the sake department of EDION and went home 😊.

Miyakanbai's PB brand Miyamanishiki 55% Koji, Manamusume 65% Kake The aroma is rather subdued, but it has a clean, fruity aroma of white peaches, pears and apples. The taste is juicy and sweet like honey apple, just like drinking fruit juice! The alcohol content is a little strong, but it is easy to drink with a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste. It is as beautiful and delicious as one would expect from Miyakanbai.

Japanese>English

It has a fresh fruity aroma. The sharpness is also quite good. Personally, I prefer Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo.

Sake rice used: Hanabukiyuki, Mutsuhomare Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15-16%. Sake degree : +5 The mouthfeel is never harsh. However, it soon develops a mellow, gentle feeling. After a little sweet aroma of rice, the spiciness rushes in and gives you the sensation of being hit hard. After that, you feel a bitterness for a while, but it is a light spicy sake that is not too heavy. I wonder if it is called "light and dry"? Thank you again for the sake tonight.

Japanese>English

I drank a special junmai in Aomori and enjoyed it, so I bought a junmai ginjo as a souvenir. It is a little dry and mild. It is delicious with a hint of koji malt. ⭐️4.4

Our annual sake party 😁 today with three of us 🌸. My friend brought me this sake from Naito Brewery in Sobue, Aichi👍. It's very light and easy to drink. It has a dry throat, but not too much acidity, and you can taste the flavor😋. It's a great sake to drink with two great drinkers and it's easy to drink like water😝.

Japanese sake party with a wild rice cake! A toast to the local sake brought by my friend👍. The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads at once 😋 It's not rich, but the taste is strong. It is a dangerous sake that can be drunk easily😝. I had it with some sashimi and it was delicious. I'm sure you'll agree that sashimi is a must for sake👍.

First Nagoya Night of the Year First sakayu at the hotel after a long time meeting for dinner The rice used was Yumesansui produced in Aichi Prefecture. An orthodox junmai sake with a strong sweetness. It is best to drink it chilled after a meal. It is not too heavy, but I felt it was a little heavy.

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

Japanese>English

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️

Japanese>English

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421
