@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˘ ).

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_74 Aomori Prefecture Booth ③. Nakamura Kamekichi Corporation is located in Kuroishi City. This is a brewery that I had never heard of, as Tsugaru's local sake is relatively rare in other prefectures. Representative brands are Kamekichi and Tamadare. ◉Kamekichi Special Junmai Dry Sake The standard, mildly umami taste, with a clean finish that is not too assertive. It is not too spicy. ◉Kamekichi Junmai Ginjo Slightly sweet aroma, sweet and sour aftertaste, with a slight yoghurt-like acidity. The label makes it sound like a shochu, but it is a very tasty sake.

Japanese>English

☆ It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is a popular sake that can be found at any shop. It is a popular sake that can be drunk at any restaurant. 🚄 When I search the internet, I see the word "bitterness" everywhere. word comes up I want to feel it 🍶´-. 5 year old sake (matured sake) old sake. When I drink it cold, the bitterness and pungency hit me at first. When I heated it up, the bitterness didn't disappear and sweetness came out 🤔. Maybe I prefer it cold 💕 It was so delicious! I want to drink fresh sake too 🍀. * #Nakamura Kamekichi Co. #Special Junmai Dry #Hanafukiyuki #Mutsuhomare #Old Sake #Aged Sake #Aomori#Aomori

Buy at the warehouse 1635 yen / 720ml My first Aomori sake. The brewery is located in the old town of Kuroishi City, which we reached after visiting Lake Towada and Oirase. The brewery is a magnificent structure and was the location for the historical drama "Inochi" (Life), with pictures of a young Yoshiko Mita and the late Toru Watanabe. The taste is soft and gentle. Maybe the water is different? Although the sake is labeled as a dry sake, it is not that dry, and it is delicious with a sweet taste. It seems that it could be a little more well-known and popular.

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 😆😆.

Always at the store, always feeling Clean and swishy. It was delicious!

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 😃.

The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

Mishio Junmai Ginjo Omachi 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15-16%. Sake meter degree +2, acidity 1.8 (reference) Fat 5/7, opened 5/23 I wanted to drink a dry sake from Kochi and was attracted by the label that looked like a pattern of playing cards I used to have at my parents' house 🤣. The brand "Bishio" is a new brand that started in 2014. It is one of the Junmai Ginjo series that is based on the concept of "elegant sweetness reminiscent of honey" and is part of a trilogy that includes "Kitashizuku", "Gin no Yume", and "Omachi". The aroma is almost imperceptible after opening the bottle. In the mouth, it has a fruity, fruity aroma and flavor, but at the same time, the alcohol is very strong. The acidity is moderate and not harsh. The acidity is not too strong, but it's more spicy and tingling than the number 😅. I tried to drink it after 4 days, which is unusual for me, but although the mouthfeel got better, the strong alcohol feeling didn't go away. The aftertaste is light, so it would be classified as light-dry. It's like a Tosa sake in that respect 😊. Unfortunately, it didn't suit me and was disappointing 😅. Oh! Maybe I should have tried heating it up 🤔.

Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I had never seen "Mishio" before.

A beautiful sweetness spreads in the mouth. After that, it's dry, to say the least. I like this sweetness. It is not persistent. 88 points Sweetness: 3.4 Acidity: 2.4 Dryness:3 Hinted aroma:3.1

It has a fresh taste but delicious flavor. Ichinokura brand is famous in Miyagi. Too bad I didn't know about it until now😭.

Japanese>English

Only Ichinokura brand sake is made in Kurihara City. When Mr. Tokoro introduced it in a TV shooting at the end of last year, it was in short supply in Kurihara City 😱😆😆. The first sip tastes slightly sweet and clean without any peculiar taste. It goes well with kiwi and kurichi wrapped with prosciutto ham. It also goes well with strong meat dishes!

Japanese>English

Flower of the warehouse. The last of the day. The spicy richness expands from around the middle to the end. The texture is slippery, and even the aftertaste lingers.
