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

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. ⤴️

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

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6) Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery. Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat. I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find. The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake. I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.

This month we had a lot of drinking outside, so it's been a while since I've had a drink at home! I got a bottle of summer sake "Kashoku", which is rarely seen even in my hometown, because there was some left at the liquor store! The mouthfeel is sweet with a refreshing acidity, and the mellow aroma lingers until the end. It seems that more emphasis is placed on the mellow aroma than on the refreshing taste! Although it is a summer sake, it is a perfect bottle for long nights in autumn. I felt it has the potential to be as good as many dishes in the autumn season of taste.

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued yet gorgeous. The pungency of the alcohol is moderate, with a fruity sweetness and a slight acidity. The mouthfeel is slightly thickened, and the aftertaste is refreshing. Alcohol level 16%. Japanese alcohol content: Somewhat low Acidity Slightly low Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I opened the bottle, it had a sweet aroma. It was sweet and easy to drink. I did not taste pineapple or apple. It was delicious to drink. 1980 yen

Japanese>English

My colleague brought it to me 🎵 It was my first time to drink this sake 🍶 It has a delicious white wine-like flavor and a rounded sake taste ❗The lingering taste is not sweet but has a bitter flavor like chocolate 😉 It was an interesting and delicious sake 😉. It may be a bit on the refreshing side, but it doesn't make you think it's super dry, it's a good sake for those who are looking for a dry sake 😃.

@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

Japanese>English

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just came back from a trip today and had a glass of Yumezou, a local sake 😀. It's full of flavor and a little dry 😊It has a nice crisp aftertaste and a nice sharp taste 😚. It's also good to drink the sake you bought on your trip while thinking about which one to drink first 🚗🥳.

˙˚ 𓆩 (*´▽`*) ✿𓆪 ˚˙ 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got a cup of Miyamoto Sake Brewery's Yume Sake 😀. It's my first time to try Miyamoto Sake Brewery's sake ✨. It's a strong style sake with lots of flavor 😚 It was a delicious cup 🥳.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Pale gold color, but without much sense of maturity. Slightly light, with strong acidity. It is rather sweet. It has a sharp, clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it. The umami flavor also comes through with a zing, making it a deeply flavored sake. The 87th cup of sake

The eighth sake rice research bottle is Yumesansui, a trad variety from Aichi. It has a solid image, but the aroma is citrusy. Freshness of new sake, slightly effervescent and drier than sweet. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

Today is my first time drinking both of these ️️Aichi-style sake breweries 👍 First up is Ko no Tsukasa‼️. This is the one that shouldn't be chilled😅it's water😆. It's still water even if the temperature goes up😅It might be good if it's heated up, but it's too much trouble so I'm not going to do it 🤣. Next time👍

Japanese>English

The rice is Yumesansui, the same as in the previous nama sake we drank. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity. A little sweet and a little pineapple. It tastes fresh and spring-like. Delicious.

At a local izakaya just a stone's throw from the brewery 🍶. It was a very good, mellow sake with a very reasonable price. This time at room temperature.

In the neighborhood At a good barbecue restaurant The only sake they had A local world hawk. It was a very good price! I could drink it to the last!

Japanese>English

Sake selected by sneaking into a cheap self-serve all-you-can-drink restaurant. Drink at room temperature. It tastes like classic sake. The acidity is strong and clear. It tastes like yogurt. It has a strong rice flavor and is sweet. It is rich and delicious. All-you-can-drink 450 yen/30 minutes The entrée is a little expensive for a low price, but it comes out well. The glasses are clean. The draft beer is consistently good. I would like to go back and try the inexpensive sake series next time. Ueno Kaisho No. 1

Fruity like pineapple. The interweaving of rice flavor, sweetness, and acidity is very delicious. You can drink it refreshingly.

This is the one that Neemuchi and I bought together! We both bought it! After tasting the junmai ginjo nama sake first, we thought it wouldn't be any better than that, so we were shocked! It has a beautiful acidity and juicy sweetness like an apple. The sweetness is rich and the bitterness is a little bitter at the end. I like it a lot.

Sorry for the liqueur. It's the best sake cider I've ever tasted, and I'm sorry I got it from a 300 yen gacha. My daughter says it is delicious.

Unusual, I don't think I've ever had a back Ura shinigami, the image of shinigami is usually dry, but it has a mellow feeling that only Jun Dai can give, But Shujin is still Shujin!

Japanese>English

The aroma is so fruity that you would never guess from the horrible label. The flavor also has a core and is quite sweet and delicious. I would like to actively procure this kind of local sake as a small pleasure during business trips! Sake-challenged wife: I see. The sweetness rounded out and became even tastier. This sake comes into its own a few days after opening the bottle! Liker Rank: 7 points/10 points
