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 🥳✨.

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Koshi finished early yesterday and I got a cup of Gen 😋. 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🥳☝️

Dry Wakatsuru Gen Junmai-shu Shiboritate 300ml Rice polishing ratio: 67 Alcohol content: 16%. Purchased at the Toyama Airport store ^ ^. Gen's Shiboritate is only available at this time of the year and you don't see it very often. I had it in the waiting room with onigiri (rice ball) since I was going out for a short trip today and did not drive.

Next up was the Ittiki Senzan Comet Nama-no-Hara Sake. The only sake from Gifu that I know of is Ikki Senzan, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a brand that had just been opened. It was a brand that had just been opened, so I liked the way the flavor was firmly on the tongue. The sweetness was not too strong and flowed down the throat easily. This is the first hit I've had in a long time. I wanted to drink it slowly, but I had to keep up with the pace of my grandchildren. I was getting too hungry to let them play with their toys, so I quickly settled my bill. It was different from a drinking party among adults, but I was glad that we could enjoy eating and drinking together. (^^)/

Japanese>English

Koshihikari. Lids fly off, baptism of foam... Sourness and spiciness are pertinent. The fizzy sensation makes the rest of the taste smooth.

Japanese>English

Part 3 This brand is new to me 🤗. Yopa Memo_φ(___) It's like a combination of yogurt and solid sake 🍶. I don't think it has much acidity🙄. It has a clean and solid expression. You can drink it smoothly 😃. It was delicious 😋😋😋.

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!

Japanese>English

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!

Japanese>English

This is the second time this spring I purchased arabashiri nama-zake ICHIMATSU. The last time, the condition of the second day was not so good due to a malfunction of the stopper, so I purchased it again. Like last time, it had a refreshing sweetness, slight acidity, and a pleasant gaseous taste. It was still a delicious sake. The second day was also very good.

Japanese>English

7/10 Assemblage 5 with a "I can't write anymore" feeling. So this means I drank from 2 to 5. The taste is definitely different from 3 and 4, but the image of complexity with layers of flavor remains the same. There is no doubt that it is an interesting sake, and I understand that it is unique. If I were to speak of simple preference, the reserve was delicious. I hope that this sake will continue to be a Toyama sake without becoming too rounded.

Japanese>English

7/10 Followed by Assemblage 4. Well, it is difficult to get to this point. It is as complicated as ever, but I can't find the words to express it. Simply put, it is much more preferable than 2. I don't even know if "delicious" is the right word, so I'll just say I like it.

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.

Japanese>English

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. ☺️

Japanese>English

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.

Sake with a strong umami and acidity. It goes down the throat well and is delicious.

Japanese>English

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 👍.

Japanese>English

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.

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😃.
