The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters. Nambu Bistro Unmenosu @ Morioka station 20240126

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

Smells like walnuts? Gorgeous cemedine, smell of alcohol after some time. Mild mouthfeel, then sweetness like three warm sugar, light pungency, aging aroma, as you swallow, the taste becomes milder, and gradually bitter from sweetness. Alcohol 20%, well 20% is intoxicating.

This is delicious. I sent a bottle of Yamagata wine to my cousin who lives in Nagoya, and this is my return gift. I'm satisfied with this sake because it has the feeling I like. It's good at room temperature. It rides softly on the tongue with a sweetness that flows easily. I like Halley's Comet.

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 🫶.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) There is a very good flavor on it, but it also has a light sourness and freshness According to the pamphlet, it is suitable for yakitori and oden. I felt it would be suitable for the autumn taste!

Japanese>English

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. ❗️

Takashimaya Sake Festival This is the first time for Inatahime. The aroma was not so strong, but the taste of rice came out in a mild flavor, and the mouthfeel was very pleasant. It was delicious 😁.

I decided to make a last spurt to conquer the whole country 🤣Tottori and Shimane, I don't get to see them very often so I popped a bottle 😂I'm opening it all at once👍. First, Inatahime‼️. The name is "Gouriki rice". The name sounds powerful😁. The flavor comes fast and furious! The sweetness is only slightly perceptible and the sharpness finishes quickly😋. When you drink it with octopus wassa, the sweetness also appears and it is delicious👍.

Japanese>English

I ordered this brand because I was somewhat curious about the name, but the last glass was less than half the amount I ordered. It was quite tasty, but I wanted to taste a little more. I hope I will be able to encounter it again.

We received 5 bottles of souvenir drink, 300 mm from Akita Prefecture. 🤭 The sake has a lot of Japanese sake flavor and the rice flavor is a bit more apparent. 🤗

Japanese>English

Local sake from Kazuno City. Akita Sake Komachi x AKITA Yukiguni Yeast The aroma is fruity 🎶. The astringent aftertaste further enhances the lingering taste🎶. This makes me want to try Chitose-mori's other sake.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the annual North Tohoku Antenna Shop's Akita Sake Tasting and Sale every three months. This time it was a special summer sake! I had a hard time deciding between Hiraizumi and Chitose-mori, but I chose Chitose-mori, which is limited to 300 bottles and has been available for a long time! Cold sake Ripe pear aroma Slightly bodied. The unique sweetness of rice spreads on the palate. Sourness lingers on the tongue in the aftertaste. After 2 days of drinking, the taste has become more rounded.

The moment I drank it, I couldn't help but chuckle. It is sweet and tangy like light brown sugar or honey. It is sweet like sugar and has a sweetness like honey, and from there you can taste the sourness like green plums. It is sweet, refreshing, and delicious 🤤. Purchased by weight. Sake that pops like a pop label. Is this kind of sake good for aperitifs 🤔.

I bought a bottle of Hana-no-i special junmai sake, labeled "Thieving Cat," at Nishioka Honten in Makabe, which I stopped by on my way to the Tsukuba Rin-Rin Road on a rainy day the other day. I have had this sake before, but there is something different about sake bought at a sake brewery.

Japanese>English

Homecoming Series ⑨ I went to Nishioka Honten in Makabe, Ibaraki Prefecture, and purchased a BY6 unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a genuine Ibaraki sake made from Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. It has an unadorned flavor, as is typical of Supin's sake. It is dry, with a short, refreshing aftertaste! The alcohol content is 17 degrees, which is proof that it is well fermented. The aroma is not assertive, and as a food sake it is first class!

Last of the day. Aged for one year. The mouthfeel, umami and sweetness become mellow. The umami is mellow from the middle to the end of the bottle.

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!

Japanese>English

Mie Pref. Nabari City. Sawasa Sake Brewing Company. Sangu Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Aizan The last sake of the Aiya Festival was Sangu, which had been laid down for a long time. The brewery's toji may have passed away, but the truth is still unknown. We will be very grateful for the sake. I'll have it cold. The color is clear, but the yellow color is quite discernible. The top aroma has a strong pure alcohol aroma. It flows smoothly on the palate. The taste has a slight, weak acidity, and the umami of the rice seeps out slowly. It has a gentle, somewhat Aizan-like quality, and there is almost no bitterness. It has a mild and rounded flavor. It's probably not the same as bottled tailored, but I appreciated it and enjoyed it. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt Rice used: 100% Banshu Aiyama Rice polishing ratio:33 Alcohol content:15 Made with 100% domestic rice

Japanese>English

Iga tasted sake from Nabari. We were served a five-year-old aged sake. The amber-colored sake was full of flavor that had been nurtured and matured over the years. It was a truly delicious sake with a dense flavor.

I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁‍♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Japanese>English

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.
