The mark looks much like some airline company. Pouring it into a cold sake glass and bringing it close to the nose, the aroma is sweet and soft, like a peach. When you drink it immediately, you cannot sense any strong characteristics at first, but the deliciousness of the rice oozes out from the middle part of the bottle, and in the latter half, the fruity overtone appears in small waves. There is little bitterness or astringency. Overall, it has an elegant flavor typical of Junmai Daiginjos. Thank you very much.

Saijo Sake Festival (6) The last sake brewery we visited was Sanyotsuru Sake Brewery, which was also new to us! We drank hiyaoroshi and bought some limited edition sake and left Saijo 🍶. It was a very fun sake festival, but there were just too many people 😂I would like to come back on a weekday when it's quieter. I heard it's also famous that people always fall down and ambulances come, but I guess it's safe? I'm happy to see it😅 Alcohol in moderation 🚑. It has a gentle flavor, but the most classical taste of all the sakes we drank this time. Slightly full-bodied but with a crisp aftertaste

Japanese>English

☀️ I'm at the Saijo Sake Festival. It's a great crowd 😳 First of all, we had a barrel of Sanyo Sake 🙏. It's quite reasonable at 100 yen for 60ml 🙄. Well, I guess that's festival price 😆. It's sake 🍶. Sweetness is firm. There is a moderate cedar aroma from the barrel. The cedar aroma is soft and fluffy. This may be the softest barrel sake I've ever had. This kind of moderate flavor is very special for festivals 🤗.

@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˘ ).

Japanese>English

The smell is gorgeous and fruity. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft. Overall, it is elegant, with an image of umami that rolls around in the mouth rather than spreading all over the palate. There is no bitterness, acidity, or carbonation, so once you get into it, you can drink it without hesitation. Is this common to all Jyushiyo? It has a really strong and unique aroma.

(*´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

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

Japanese>English

. It has a robust flavor with the full flavor of nama-zake character, slightly sweet and delicious! ✩4.0

Japanese>English

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

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 😃.

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.

A bottle of spicy and tasty I was originally going to buy the Oomote no Shinshin, but the liquor store owner recommended the Uraku no Shinshin. The aroma is subdued, but it certainly has a peculiar taste, almost like an old sake. Personally, I liked it so much that I would like to try the front side.

Japanese>English

Sake from Shimane. Following Suitama, a front-to-back drinking comparison. The front side has an aged taste, while the back side is unpasteurized! Naturally, I prefer this one, but both have their own flavor when drunk at the same time. It was a better learning experience than drinking them individually.

Japanese>English

The name is gruesome, but it is an authentic Daiginjo that is typical of Yamadanishiki. It is very delicious.

Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Japanese>English

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.
