Katakana Masamune ⚔️ The brewer is different from Hiragana Masamune. This one is a harder, dryer strain in comparison. The dryness precedes the freshness of the raw. Lukewarm heating was the best match 😋.

Drinking out. When you drink outside, you accumulate records of what you drank😅. The aroma is almost imperceptible. It is refreshing when you put it in your mouth. There is a slight sweetness, but it gives a light impression. The aftertaste is a bit like a classic Japanese sake. Sake that is not too sweet is also good. Straightforward and simple impression 🍶.

Crystal silver color, with a blue reflection. Plenty of fruit ginjo aromas of apples, pears, melon, bananas. Kamishinko, white dumplings, and lime. Mellow sweetness and dense acidity, with a pleasant bitterness and a clean finish that retains the sweetness. I thought it tasted like a typical Fukushima ginjo-shu!

Sangu is the first time in about 2 years of sales. It has a solid body with the power of Aizan, but it feels lighter than the last time I drank it. It also seems a little sweeter... Is it my imagination? I have no complaints, and I still like the same type, but I wonder if my taste buds have changed? When I evaluate it calmly, I can taste the flavor and the sharpness is good. It is not fruity, but it is slightly sweet and well-balanced. It is a good sake!

I went to Tsu city in Mie prefecture on a business trip. I didn't know that Tsu City is famous for eels 😅I had no idea that Tsu City is famous for eels, so I decided to try some sake from Mie Prefecture. I had Saku, Takihama, and Gizaemon, but I don't have any photos, so I'll just post this one. This one has a sake degree of -40 degrees. Sweet 😆 but for some reason it was easy to drink and delicious. ☺️

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

This is a memorandum of my visit to "Ikki" in Yokogawa. I came to Yokogawa's "Ikki" for the after-party of a farewell party after a long time 🍶. The first drink was "Sakurafubuki" by Kinko's 🌸. I love "Kamo Kanehide", but "Sakura Fubuki" is also great 🤗.

I ordered it because it is made from Omachi rice in Okayama! It was light at first, but later on it was very strong. It is not easy to drink, but I could taste it well.

March 15. As it is a day of great luck, which comes only a few days a year, I went to visit my local Omae Ebisu Shrine ⛩️ The sky was clear and blue, the smell of plum blossoms was in the air, and I felt refreshed. I prayed for peace and gratitude. Third picture: Ebisu-sama, about 20 meters high The 4th picture, a motorcycle ema, is very rare 🙄. We stopped at a sake store on our way back home🤗. The aroma is mild. It has a very slight graininess, a slightly sweet and bitter cocoa taste, umami, and a firm acidity, and after swallowing it, you feel your throat get very hot. Perhaps it is the effect of the acidity, but the aftertaste is so refreshing that you do not feel the al 18 degrees.

The restaurant does not seem to be a sake store, but the lineup always draws me in. This time, I ordered "SENKOURI" and this was the sake I ordered. Fresh! But almost no acidity. But there was almost no acidity, and a slight bubbling sensation on the tongue. The dishes were sashimi of flatfish and fried red mullet. Oh, yummy! I'm glad I ordered it. (^^)

Senkou's Hansui UI. The rice is polished to 80%, so it's not light, but it's not heavy either. Anyway, it was delicious. As with Mizu to Echika, Senkin-san makes delicious sake.

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

Aizan 45% polished It goes in quickly and the berry flavor of Aizan comes, and the flavor spreads with just the right amount of alcohol. It is a Daiginjo, but it has a strong umami taste.

Continued... Elements of Life Rindo Namaishu 2016-2017vt. This one has a rather sharp profile, bitternutty but a bit light on aging. [Karisshimi n6 Nama Sake] Sake rice is Watabune and No. 6 yeast is used. It was light and spring sake-like. Gold Front Hi-iri This sake is a low alcohol kijoshu with a lot of information. The taste is light and sweet, with a hint of bitterness in the middle of the taste. It has a bitter aftertaste. Kijoshu Monsoon Tamakae Hi-iri A sweet sake with a full-bodied flavor that I like. But there is a sharp taste afterwards. Kijoshu Monsoon Ginbuki Hi-iri It has a sweetness and a tangy aftertaste. Intense 620 Grape The mouthfeel is juicy, light and refreshing. Grapes? It is a bit like a grape. Primivaldax. The last of the Shiki Theatre. My Be Loved Farewell. Low alcohol, clear and tasty, slurpy type. It's very good. Saber the Flavored Sakura Nama Sake This one is more acidic and has a springtime sake feel. Akai Ito Nama Sake This one is sweet and delicious, but not too strong. Next brewery

I'm not sure if it's because it was just opened or not. I wonder if the fact that it was just opened had something to do with it. Maybe it will be different if I drink it in a couple of days.

A liquor similar to white wine ♪ The aroma before you drink it gives you a hint of wine... It was so delicious that all three of us drank it in one go.

The last of Hankyu Brewery Festival The first one: Fukuoka Wakatakeya Debut Sake like a dark white wine with the flavor of rice. But it is easy to drink! But be careful, it has 17 degrees of alcohol! This one was taught by Haruei Chichi and Gura. It's my first time in Fukuoka with this delicious drink! Thank you very much 🙏. The second one, Tottori Inada Honten IKU'S SHIRO Sweet and sour, tastes like juice. I tasted various kinds of sake while learning from many members. It was a lot of fun! If you are going tomorrow or later, please drink a lot and enjoy 🎶.
