My parents-in-law gave me this sake as a souvenir from Tanba Sasayama. It's a completely unknown brand, so I was very nervous when I opened the bottle. Maybe it's because we've been drinking a lot of autumn sake lately, but it's surprisingly refreshing 😳 You can drink it easily without getting stuck. It has a faint sourness and a spiciness that comes afterwards, and then it goes away quickly. It's a sake made with clean water that goes well with all kinds of food. We enjoyed it with pork kimchi and horse mackerel sashimi. I want to drink it carefully, but it will probably be gone in two days☺️.

I'm drinking at home ♬ A souvenir from Arima Onsen from a friend! Thanks 👏. It has been a while since I have tasted a light flavor. I've been on a sweet streak, so this is good too!

The one we got. This is a decansho-bushi, it seems. The flavor comes in slowly and flows gently through to the aftertaste.

KATSURAGAWA, which had been laid up for about a year and a half. It's too early to tell, but I'm looking forward to a summer sake on the rocks, and this time I'll have a glass of the standard warmed sake 🍶. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was freshly cooked and fluffy, like rice cakes or rice. It is a four-step glutinous rice brewing process. The mouthfeel is smooth like Gunma sake, but gradually a gentle and deep sweetness like sugar or spuds spreads gradually. When heated, it has a full-bodied, rice-like flavor. The sweetness is not too strong, but rather relaxing. Perfect for enjoying in the colder months. The sweetness itself is more subdued than the normal type, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy the cleanliness that is typical of Gunma sake, which is a good balance!

As the summer is drawing to a close (the heat is still on), I opened a bottle of "Katsuragawa" sake on the rocks, which I was looking forward to drinking again this year! And the back of the bottle is falling apart due to condensation again😇. When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and fluffy, typical of "Katsuragawa". It is a bit sour and comes in through the nose as if it is cold on the rocks. The mouthfeel has a pettiness by default, but on the rocks it is smooth and silky. It has a fluffy aroma like sweet rice crackers and a syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. As the ice melts, it becomes lighter and more enjoyable ✨. The lingering finish has a slightly tangy, spicy acidity and a tropical fruitiness, and the smart finish keeps the saké going! While listening to the chirping of autumn insects 🍶. I think it's time to open a bottle of "Akagisan" summer sake!

A summer-only light nigori (nigori is a light, unadulterated sake). The alcohol content is light at 9 degrees. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The bottle and labeling are stylish. You can enjoy sake in a fashionable way.

Beau Michelle's light nigori 😍✨ discovered by accident in Osaka. I didn't think I'd be able to drink this this year❗️I bought it right away❗️ I'll be back in a few days! It's almost overflowing with the sizzle 😮️❗️ It's fruity like a fruit wine on the palate⁉️Is this really sake? It's 9% and 500ml, so naturally I finished it in one night🤣.

It's been quite a while since I've had a Niaokaya 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 🤔In the mouth, it has a freshness that is typical of unadulterated sake😊The umami of rice🌾 spreads quickly 😚The aftertaste has a slight alkali feeling, but the sharpness is good👍 I thought it was a sake that could be served with food or on its own 🥳✨.

The aroma after opening the bottle is The Sake 💪🏾 When you drink it, you can really taste the rice🌾 and it is a crisp dry sake with a good balance of acidity and umami 😊. It is a strong style of Japanese-Sake 😚👍Cup sake is very useful to make up for the lack of alcohol content🥳☝️

Gen's Shiboritate is only available at this time of the year and you don't see it very often.

Aomori Sake Inamuraya I used to drink outside. Special Junmai was done. There are not many check-ins for this sake. It's a sake from Aomori, so... This time, we've been taking our time with the fruity sakes we've been enjoying lately, and this one is freshly brewed and dry. It's a bit of a quirk, but it's very crisp and clean. I don't heat sake. I don't warm sake, but I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It's also good when it's settled down. It's also good when it's settled down.

Other brews. Like the juiciest finish ever of rice and agave. White grapes, Yona Yona Ale, sweet gravy mandarin oranges, clear sweet smell. Juicy! White grapes like balls, hops, umami, acidity and sweet sourness that stimulates the back of the tongue, slight effervescence, beer-like bitterness and freshness and the balls pop and the juiciness sweet and sour, and it's crisp and clean. Yum! Second day. The color of the sake was slightly pink and cloudy white. It is sweeter and hoppier than yesterday's sake. The desire to drink it is rising.

Craft beer, white grapes, sweet smell. Shrewd, hop bitterness, sweet bitter, grapefruit-like acidity. The description says to mix well before drinking as the lees contain delicious hop compounds. The beer has a clear sourness and a clear taste. But it also has the flavor and mouthfeel of sake. Recently, I drink beer and get drunk very slowly, so on days when I want to drink beer, this is the perfect combination of satisfaction, deliciousness, and tongue-twisting! I think I like it better than beer. I like it.

October 31, 2023 Japanese Sake and Japanese Cuisine at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. The 7th glass was served on recommendation with rice and hops. It has a clean and gorgeous taste with acidity and a pleasant hop aroma. The aroma of hops is pleasant. Pione and Cheinmuscat. I enjoyed it with Pioneer and Shine Muscat.

We used Go To to Echigo Yuzawa. So_1F3D4 brand and Naebayama brand that I don't remember seeing in Tokyo to match the local cuisine of the hotel. Junmai-Ginjo sake with Junmai-Ginjo specifications. The gentle aroma, the sweetness, and the refreshing finish give me the impression that this is a "Niigata's local sake" as I have always imagined it to be. In terms of Niigata brands that you can buy in Tokyo, I'd say it's similar to the Junmai Ginjo specs of Tsurueri or Kubota. If I tasted it, I'd never be able to understand it myself... After all, coming on a trip and pairing it with local food is the best part of local sake 👍.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. My first impression was "It's sweet. ❣️ I felt that "Kosu-Mori" was also quite sweet for me, but it seemed more profound than "Kosu-Mori". It is like licking a muscat candy. The finish, however, is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness, so the sweetness doesn't linger and it feels refreshing. It is a delicious drink, but I think it is suitable for different situations.

2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.

Today, due to an event, I went near the roadside station of Fermentation Village and picked up salted fermented soybeans and five daughters and went home. Opened the bottle without difficulty, without worrying about the warning sign on the lid. Oh, isn't it fermented? Uwazumi has a sweet taste! It is not sour. Mixing and stirring, the sourness intensifies. Huh? The opposite image. I drank it up deliciously.

Tonight, I would like to introduce a new sake from Terada Brewery, which I was intrigued by the collaboration with Pukupuku Brewery and wanted to try it. Gonin Musume Natural Sake, Namahashime, Junmai Sake, Strawberry Mead Barrel Aged 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓. This sake is not mead, but it is a barrel-aged strawberry mead with Terada Honke's pure rice sake. It has a very soft aroma, but the taste is also exquisite with the acidity of the sake yeast and the sweet umami of honey strawberries, a very gentle taste that sinks into the body 😌😋😋😋😋😋 The aftertaste is a little like sake, but it is like drinking dessert wine or sweet western wine. Looks like it would be good alone after dinner😃.
