It is a little sweeter than Yamama, a well-known sake from Niigata Daiichi Sake Brewery, but it shines brightly when paired with food. It is a sake with a strong and powerful flavor.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

From a junior 🎁. It's not enough to give it to a drinker. I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it. But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣. It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich. The rice flavor is concentrated. It's a sake you want to drink well.

Japanese>English

We will eat while learning about the history of the tub sales. It has a good aroma. It has sweetness, umami, and overall strength, and goes down the throat well. It is a tasty sake with a punch.

Japanese>English

It is said to be an irregular sake. The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅. The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san. Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character. The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu. I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

First time drinking at Japanese Sake Festival Osaka ③. This is Okuhida-san, which I really got for the first time 😀. The first green sparkling sake was quite tasty, but the one that surprised me the most was this Tokujun Hi-ire 😇. The nuance of the flavor was more like Jungin than Tokujun 😀 It had the flavor of rice, but also had the taste of rice. The overall flavor was cohesive while still having the deliciousness of rice 😀. I heard that this sake is also available in a raw type, but unfortunately it was not exhibited this time 🤣. But I would like to taste the raw version again 😀.

At home. I bought this as a souvenir when I enjoyed lunchtime drinking at Changlong Brewpark and had it at home. I guess it is a slightly different version of the one I had at lunch. The aroma may be influenced by the name of bamboo ⁉️.... Unlike the lunchtime drink, it was fresh, sweet, sour, and refreshing. The fact that I was able to bring back a good one as a souvenir made my day more enjoyable and memorable... ‼️ The fourth picture is of Kaguya-chan, the mascot of Hiroryo Town.

Japanese>English

At Changlong Brewpark. The second drink was Shikisaki. We were told that it is recommended as a food sake, so we had it with our bento. It is a dry sake with a strong umami flavor that can be savored slowly. It has a completely different taste from the Sakurabito we had earlier, and is good for variety. ‼️ We got tipsy and bought some souvenirs for our holiday.

Japanese>English

Dry with a hint of flavor. Almost room temperature at the beginning of the drink. No sweetness whatsoever! But it's not hard to drink. I don't know if this is a good analogy, but I drink it as a very light shochu. It's meant to be a sipping drink, but it goes into your body quickly! The second day starts with a cold sake. On the back of the label, it says it's a little dry. Perhaps because it is an unpasteurized sake, it doesn't have a strong alcoholic flavor, but it does have a bitter aftertaste and a tongue-tickling sensation. It may not be suitable for those who don't like the dry taste.

Home drinking. This is a dry sake for the Year of the Ox from Hachinohe Sake, and is used in full quantity. A refreshing pineapple with tropical fruit and sweet and sour aromas, a clean and light mouthfeel of melon and sweetness gurgles in the mouth, turning to a sweet rice flavor on the mid-palate and a long finish.

Chinese>English

This is my favorite Hakutsuru 🍶. The black bottle with navy blue label is kind of cool 🥰. It is sold only in Aomori. The first aroma is slightly sweet. The palate has a full-bodied sweet flavor that is typical of Hanafukuyuki. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, partly due to the 50% polishing. The sharpness is not bad either. I want to buy a bottle next year and drink it carefully 🤔.

Paid tasting, a bit expensive at 400 yen, but the surprising ginjo aroma, muscat-like taste and gentle flavor were delicious. It was nice to see replicas of the display of colored papers of successive prime ministers pasted on the wall, showing their individuality. A web search revealed that Fukubito is I found on the Web that Fukubito was the first sake brewery in Japan established in 1917 as a joint-stock company by investment from sake brewing companies mainly in western Japan.

Japanese>English

Purchased during a visit to a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima. When the bottle was opened, it smelled a little like magic ink. It tastes sweet like white sugar and has a relaxing flavor. It was different from the tasting. It tastes good, but... On the second day, it tastes just like I tasted it at the brewery. It is delicious with well-balanced flavor 😊.

Last Sake on the Second Night of Hiroshima Night It is said to be a limited edition sake for the district. After drinking so much, I honestly don't remember much about it, It's a solid, rich sake. I had the impression that it had a slight rice flavor... I was under the impression that it was a little ricey... Hiroshima Night is now over: ☑️

Kumamoto's local sake, Sanzanmura Slightly sweet ginjo aroma A light, sweet mouthfeel with a soft acidity. Like drinking fresh green apple juice I drank too much and my memory is fuzzy I'm not even sure of the notes I wrote at the time😅. Anyway, it's delicious! Sake brewed with sake rice grown by a pesticide-free method called "Koi Farming" in Sanzan Village! Using the carp farming method, carp are released into the rice paddies 🌾🌾 to get rid of pests. A few years ago, I drank Manbo from Kumamoto Kameman Shuzo, which was a sake made using the duck farming method🦆! There are many people in Kumamoto who practice natural farming methods 🫶.

Rice used is unknown We do not know the concept, but it seems to be a "cat series" and there are others like "Wind and Cats". Although low-alcoholic, it is not light and has a deep flavor. It was fruity, well-balanced and delicious sake. ❗️

［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.
