Sake made from 100% Omachi rice The delicious flavor and sweetness of Omachi spreads in your mouth, and the acidity you feel afterward enhances the taste. It is a delicious sake with a clean, refreshing taste that will not leave you feeling bored!

Happy New Year! After making Zoni, I finally had my first drink. I started the year with Kaneizumi, which I received from a friend the day before yesterday. The aroma is good, but the taste is sweet and fruity at first, followed by a refreshing acidity that lingers in the mouth, and finally the taste of rice lingers. The sweet and fruity taste fills the mouth at first. According to my friend, he has been drinking Kaneizumi since the old days when it was made by Horimoto Shuzo. and then it was taken over by Aihara Shuzo of Amego no Tsuki with the toji-san. After the brewery went out of business and was succeeded by Aihara Brewery It is said to be his favorite sake even after he took over the brewery with the master brewer. I look forward to working with you again this year. Degree of alcohol content: 16%, Rice polishing ratio: 40

Sake made from 100% Omachi rice Mild sweetness spreads in the mouth, followed by a pleasant acidity that is well balanced. It is easy to drink with no cloying taste, and it goes down your throat nicely ✨. I feel that there is nothing wrong with Omachi, but this sake is the most delicious Omachi sake I have ever tasted 😊.

I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

⛲️ This is my first alcoholic drink. I had it in between physical work (lunch in short). It's a Nada sake, but it's not like that, it's sweet, tasty, refreshing, and easy to drink, and it was gone in no time at all. Well, 9 of us drank sake, so we could drink it in no time.

If you go with the stereotypical image of Nada, the taste will betray you in a good way.

The sake rice is rice rice Sasanishiki. It was recommended to me by the owner of the sake shop I usually go to. It is tangy and spicy at first, and then a mildly sweet taste spreads in the mouth. It was delicious. 1,650 yen.

Since I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake. The aroma is faintly muscat-like. The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle. The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense! The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.

Today's drink of the day is opened here 💁. It is a bottle of Koshiji Fukiyuki Junmai Ginjo Spring from Niigata Prefecture. The nose is mild, the mouthfeel is light, and there is some alcohol. It has a nice sharpness, but the rice flavor overflows afterwards 🤤. It is like melted snow pouring into the Shinano River. #KoshijiBukiyuki #Takano Shuzo

I missed buying souvenir sake on a business trip to Kanazawa and wanted to drink sake. The first impression was gorgeous, fragrant, and powerful. However, the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.

The sake brewery is closing? I wonder why when it tastes so good. At first I thought it was too thin? But it is quite dry and tasty! 100% Hitomebore produced in Nara Prefecture I knew it was good!

Shimane Local Sake Fair Osaka ③. Ichinomiya Sake Brewery of Iwami Ginzan and Rika. I had bought Yukika at Hanshin Department Store in Amagasaki in the past. I found out that it was Mr. Rika, the toji (master brewer), who was standing in the store at that time😅. I tasted the following Iwami Ginzan Special Junmai Hiyoshi Oroshi Rika Junmai Ginjo Kaihatanryu Ichitunya TANE Nama-zake Yukika Sparkling None of them left much of an impression on me, but I thought the Yukika was as tasty as ever. It was sweet and strong, like a strong calpis soda. I would like to try it again because Sugidama-san in Kyoto sells Iwami Ginzan.

A bowl of oden at an oden shop in Shizuoka Station. I had no idea about this brand. The best part of traveling is being able to drink this kind of local sake with local food 😆. A little sweet and full, with a clean dry finish. It is not flashy, but there is no alcohol feeling that lingers in the throat and it is very smooth to drink 😄. It goes great with Shizuoka oden, which is a thick, dark broth with fishmeal, and if we weren't on a family trip, we would be drinking it endlessly 😅.... Also, I had a local B gourmet dish called "Motsuru Curry" for the first time, which was also very tasty👍👍!

Junmai one-cup of Koyoromo. This is the first time to drink Koyoromo. It is an orthodox Junmai sake, not heavy and refreshing, but it also has a hidden luster. I see that the brewery makes all of its sake from junmai sake. The label is Hiroshige's 53 Stages of the Tokaido, Nisaka.
