Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. It was not that spicy and easy to drink. It was different from the image I had in my mind. As the pop-up says, it is also surprisingly gorgeous. I guess because Tenryaka is made from organically grown rice, you can find it in natural food stores. The regular Amataka is particularly dry, and the organic series doesn't seem to be that dry.

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. Nemuchi was hesitant to drink Tenryaka because it was dry, so I encouraged him to try Kuho Series, saying it was fruity. I have been avoiding Tenryaku until now. I was surprised to find that the sparingly spiced Kuo series is not spicy but rather sweet and delicious. I'm sorry I've been avoiding this sparring even if I saw it at a liquor store.

続いては｢天鷹｣を開栓！開栓すると先の｢惣誉｣と同じようなスッキリ甘い香り。口当たりはコッテリ味があって穏やかさを感じる味わい。お米の旨味+渋味がこちらはしっかり感じられてお茶やコーヒーっぽく感じます。渋味主体のちょい甘味が体感的には緑茶感ある美味しさです🍵 小さい頃から鬼怒川には毎年来てるので、今回の新型特急には感慨深いものがありました。沿線各地で手を振ってくださる方々や温泉に身も心も温まる1日でした👍

The sake I bought back from Tottori. Oh... it's a Junmai Ginjo, but it doesn't have a Ginjo aroma... Aged scent? Yes, it's actually a sake that's been aged for 3 years. Aged sake usually has a harsh aroma for me, but But this one has a gorgeous aroma and a soft taste. It's an excellent product for beginners of aged sake.

Japanese>English

Aged 3 years, this was my first attempt at an aged product, and it has quite an impact. My honest impression is that it smells like an auto repair shop? Hmmm, difficult for a beginner.

Hokosugi 3

It is a royal Junmai sake with a very smooth texture and moderate flavor(s). Hokosugi has an outstanding cedar child cup, and the cup sake is excellent! Power up in order when heated. The spiciness and acidity are slight and work well with the depth! It goes well with any kind of sauce! There is no need to write much about it! Mr. Ota is a rerun of Nagasaki It is a treasure house of good food! There are also a variety of good sake, and it's a place I've always dreamed of visiting!

Japanese>English

The casual bottle design is a nice touch. As the design suggests, it is perfect for drinking while watching the rain drizzle down from the window of your room. The sweet and gentle taste will definitely make you fall in love with sake.

Japanese>English

Another brand by Hokosugi's Kawatake Brewery. Easy to drink with Hokosugi taste. ★★★☆☆☆☆

Moderately spicy, melon-like sweetness.

Mellow and juicy

Dare to say 88% rice polishing ratio. Amber body. The taste of grapes, like a noble rot wine, is a shock to the senses. The aroma spreads softly at the end of the bottle. Experimental and elegant.

Yamada Nishiki and Oita Mitsui. The flamboyance of the perimeter. Spiciness swells from the mid-palate and is released in a refreshing manner.

Japanese>English

It has a gorgeous yet robust taste with a lingering aftertaste. It was very good with hot pot, but it might not be good with something with a strong taste like kimchi.

Japanese>English

Fruity and floral as the name suggests. It is not too sweet and easy to drink. Takaraiya has a lot of sober sakes, so when introducing them to newcomers, this area seems to be better received.

Sen Junmai Ginjo Firm umami. Delicious to the aftertaste. SUMA SHUZO, Ishikawa Prefecture. Drink and support!

Japanese>English

A special junmai sake with a clear taste. It's a little more refined than I usually prefer. In that sense, it may not be like a special junmai sake, or perhaps it is because it is a special junmai sake? The aroma is nice too... 🤩.

@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.

Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.

When I went sightseeing in the old town in Hida Takayama, I stopped by a store that was not a sake brewery but a direct sales store where I could sample sake for a fee. It is located right in the middle of the tourist area. This is the Oda Sake Brewery, the originator of Onikoroshi. Older Sake Brewery Kamiminomachi Branch You put a coin from the server and drink it. A coin is 300 yen for 36 ml. Hida Boast Onikoroshi Junmai Namaishu It is fresh but dry with a strong alcohol taste. Junmai Ginjo Hida Takayama I selected this sake by looking at the sake level, and found that it was the same as the one I drank at the Japanese Sake Festival. It had more flavor than the previous sake and was a true sake. There was a signature of Wakako Sake with "Pshu". 🖊️

I had an image of astringency, but my tongue is sweet! The aftertaste is also refreshing!
