OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑧ This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered. According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire. I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔. Forgot to take notes💦.

Japanese>English

I thought it was Hibari, but it was Yukijaku. My first sake from Ehime. It's a delicious sake with a fluffy sweetness that spreads to the mouth, and no harshness. I think it's a good sake that will become a rare and delicious sake once its name becomes known. Well, really, all the breweries have delicious sake, and with my vocabulary and expression skills, I can't express the distinction between the sake.

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sake Marche 2023 Part 2 We had sake from Kuze Sake Brewery, the closest sake brewery to my parents' house 😋. Amber-colored Daiginjo ✨with a rich rice flavor😊It's a traditional sake 😚👍It has a robust flavor, but the aftertaste disappears quickly😇. I felt like it was a sake to be enjoyed by itself and sipped slowly 🥳.

GW in Kanazawa! At the Kanazawa Sake Brewery in Kanazawa Station, we came across a dream machine that allowed us to sample sake for 100 or 300 yen (P.S.) Naturally, we took the challenge. The description said it was dry, but I prefer raw sake, so I chose this one. I tasted it thinking it might be a fruity type, but it was a clear dry sake that would go well with sashimi and other dishes. I appreciate free tastings, but I feel somewhat guilty about it, so this kind of reasonably priced tasting is very helpful and encourages me to try different kinds. I tasted three other types of sake here, and all of them seemed dry to me. I have an image that Ishikawa's sake is basically dry.

Japanese>English

I drank Choseomai at KITTE the other day, but this is my first time at Notoji. I didn't know there was a variety of rice called Chosei Mai😅 I thought it was a brand name like Niida rice. I heard that the rice grown in the Chousei area of Chiba is also called Chousei rice, which is a bit confusing 🙄. It has a golden color. Or maybe a little light brown😅. Smells like Shaoxing wine. It smells like aged sake, but it tastes beautiful and a little sweet. Better than the Chousei Mai I had the other day 😋. It's a bit of a mystery how it's aged so well even though it doesn't say it's an aged sake on the official website or on the liquor store's website 🤔.

Gorgeous fruity aroma, smooth on the palate. The fact that it is polished to 30% Omachi is also excellent. It is an elegant sake. Serve with turban shells

2022/06/17 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet apple-like aroma. Fine and rich sweetness like pure honey. The acidity is moderate and full-bodied. It has a very slight bitterness and a long aftertaste. A perfect sake when you want to be healed by sweetness.

This is the first time I have had kijoshu. It had a sweetness different from anything I had ever had before and was easy to drink.

Japanese>English

This is the third sake of a three-sake drinking comparison at THE CALENDER BIWAKO TOURISM, a standing drinking space that opened on 11/29 at JR Otsu Station in Shiga Prefecture. This is MONSOON, a kijo sake from the Laughing Season Sake Brewery. I love kijo sake. ☺️ Monsoon has three types of sake with different rice: Ginfukiyuki, Tamakoe, and Yamadanishiki, each with a different label depicting an artistic exotic beauty. This time we are drinking the Ginfukiyuki🌾 raw sake type. The aroma is gentle with a hint of sweetness. The rice aroma is also mild. I imagined it to be a bit more floral, but maybe that's because it's from the server. Smooth texture. The sweetness is fluffy, gentle, dark, and beautiful. The acidity is fine and gentle. The wine is smooth, flowing, and has a sharpness that seems to disappear without any change. The lingering finish is long and slightly complex. The taste perfectly matches the image of the woman on the label. It is sweet, but it doesn't linger, and finally disappears like a mirage. This is a bottle I would like to drink at home someday 🍶.

Japanese>English

The first Kijoshu in a long time Laughing season after a long time Because of my work I am very busy at this time of the year The changing of the seasons I didn't even have time to see the autumn leaves. This time, I'm going to make the content more intense and I'm going to shorten the busy season I'm glad I'm in a country where I can feel the four seasons 😋🍶✨✨.

I have been curious about this one for a long time...Chuai! The slight fruity aroma characteristic of Miyamanishiki, the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the bitterness of the finish! The moderate lingering aftertaste lingers... I'm sipping it with sashimi, hamo tempura, and local edamame (green soybeans)... Yum! Delicious 😋Hatsuchuai!

Fresh, with a good balance of sweet and sour flavors

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku? The taste is lively and fresh, as only a new brew of sake can be. It claims to be dry, but it is not that dry, and has a refreshing finish that is not sweet. It has a good balance and a high cosmetic ministry. I would love to try other brands.

[First time] Souvenirs! He used to live in Shiga and knows a lot about local sake. He knows that Omi is a rice and sake producing area. According to the website, they have been making sake since the Meiji era and are the smallest general sake manufacturer in Japan. I had no idea! The aroma is quite gorgeous. The taste is dry. It is a sake with a delicious rice flavor. I would like to try wine and brandy. I heard there is a Chiyoda brewery in Nada.

The sweetness with a hint of tenderness and spiciness 😄]. This sake is brewed by a sake brewery famous for its Kimmiya shochu. I saw Sanad and Nemuchi rave about this brand a long time ago, and it was on my list of things to drink. The sweet and gentle aroma is pleasant. It has a pleasant sweetness in the mouth and a long, lingering spiciness after swallowing. It has a strong alcoholic taste and a rather robust flavor. This is one of my favorite types 😋. It is good with simmered dishes in Japanese cuisine. It has a wide range of dishes that can be matched with western food as well👍.

For the record Sake I drank when I went to Mie after all this time

This is a gift from an acquaintance, a long aged honjozo. It has a beautiful amber color with a good balance between the full flavor of the rice and the aroma like Shaoxing wine, and it goes well with strong meals.

Smell reminiscent of lactic acid, bananas, wind forest. Light golden color, sticky liquid, sour and sugary sweet, hard water, a bit banana-y, pungent. The aftertaste is sweet and tingly, reminiscent of canned fruit syrup. As you get used to drinking it, you can taste the bitterness. Outweighs the sweetness of the roll cake. After eating the roll cake, you feel the sourness and this is delicious. I want to drink it thick and sweet and sip it little by little. If you add ice, you get sourness and bitterness. When it is warmed up, the strong sweetness is drawn out and changes to a gentle taste, and after the slight sweetness and sourness, it seems to seep in. It is delicious. I couldn't finish my drink.

Mellow, refreshing, delicious 🍶. Super oicy ❕. I enjoy it very much.

The first challenge for the first Bodai yeast sake is the sake from Nara, the birthplace of Bodai yeast 🕺🏻. Takacho 🦅❗️ from Aburicho Sake Brewery, well known for Kaze no Mori 🕺🏻. I got this one because it's only available in April! The label is so cool 👍! I thought it might be a bit peculiar since it's made from the Muromachi period, but it's not as sour as I thought it would be, and it's full-bodied and tasty while also giving off a unique flavor😳. I was expecting it to be a bit peculiar, but it was not as acidic as I thought it would be, and it was delicious with a unique flavor and richness 😳. It is rated -34 on the sake scale, but it is not too sweet and can be drunk easily 😋. Different from Kaze no Mori, this one was delicious too! I think I'll try another Bodai Hashimoto Sake 😋!

It is -4 and sweet, but the taste of the rice is perfect and delicious!

Japanese>English

Faint ginjo aroma✨ A sip will leave you with just the right amount of spiciness and sharpness 🥰. This is a food sake, but it has a delicious flavor that doesn't interfere with the ingredients 😌. I rarely drink outside, but this one was delicious 🥰. The disadvantage of drinking it in a restaurant is that you can't taste the flavor immediately after opening the bottle... and you can't tell how it changes the next day or later 😭. The sake I got this time was a bottle and there were only a few bottles left, so there is a high possibility that the taste has changed since the bottle was opened 💧... 💧. And, well, it's impossible for me to drink it in a restaurant... but I have an inquisitive mind as a sake lover 🤭 lol

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

Japanese>English

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

Hinohikari. The richness of the rice flavor is gutsy. Slightly hiney feeling.
