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 😊.

Japanese>English

At the tasting, I tasted a ripe LaFrance.... I was attracted by the words "Ripe LaFrance" and tasted it... I was scared 😳. This is really LaFrance 🍐! The way the aftertaste pulls away from the 🍐 is fantastic👍. Originally made by another brewery, but when they quit, Aihara Brewery took over the brewery. I heard it used to reign in the East and West with Jyushiyo (never had it...) 🤔. I don't have any experience so I can't compare, but this one is different for me personally!

Japanese>English

Kaneizumi is another brand of Aihara Shuzo, famous for Amego no Tsuki. This white lightning bolt is a spot product. On the palate, it has an elegant and discreet mix of sweetness and acidity, with a sharp finish that cuts through with a touch of bitterness! The bitterness is a nice accent, making it a very tasty sake that goes well with the season 😋.

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA⑯ The booth of "KOSHIJI FUKIYUKI". The brewery uses brewing water from the Shinano River system and its own original yeast. Koshiji Fukiyuki Junmai 70 An orthodox junmai with firm acidity. The acidity and tangy aftertaste may not be to your liking. Koshiji Fukiyuki Daiginjo 50 Light, with sharp acidity and spiciness. It has a tangy aftertaste. Koshiji Fukiyuki Hiyahi Oroshi Junmai Ginjo The taste is sharp and light with a strong umami flavor. The sake was very sharp and more than a little light.

Japanese>English

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA15 After the Nohtaka booth, I knew I had to eat something, so I went to the basement and bought some yakitori (grilled chicken) 🐣. There was a corner of rice balls made from Niigata's new rice in the Sake-no-jin, and I was quite tempted to try them, but I was determined not to eat carbohydrates... so I held back. It was my first time to visit the Takano Sake Brewery. I think I've seen the sake itself somewhere, but I've never had it 🤔. I wonder if they took the name from Fubuki Koshiji or if the sake came first? I drank Koshiji Fukiyuki Junmai 70 Clear and tasty... Koshiji Fukiyuki Daiginjo 50 Hmmm, subtle Koshijifuki Aki-agari Junmai Ginjo Slightly ripe, but not too assertive, so it's good for mid-meal 🤔. I wanted to ask about the origin of the brand name, but I didn't feel like I could since they were dealing with another brewery that wasn't seated, so I left 💦.

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.

Friday Single Cup. Shiraki Kugin Sushi Rice, lychee start with banana liqueur sweetness, fine carbonated bubbles, smooth acidity in the mouth first, rice flavor sweetness to support the middle, apple core sweet and bitter clean finish.

Chinese>English

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👍.

This is Hakodate Sake Brewery's Eiun Tamashii Uzumiguchi Junmai Ginpu. Right after opening the bottle, it is a delicious sake with lots of umami and a delicious acidity to finish it off 😋 It is from the Goho brewery 🍶.

Japanese>English

Good evening, this is Goho from your first series✨ I️ had been curious about this for a while, but when I️ drank it at the store yesterday, it was so good that I️ bought it as a souvenir and opened the bottle again. I️ bought it as a souvenir and opened it again, but since I️ bought it at a place that doesn't seem to store it well, it's aged beautifully..............right? I'm sure it's really good ✌️.

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ 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.

It is brewed by Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery, so it is a Nara sake. It has a thick, robust flavor.

It is crisp, cool, and dry! Best match for light Japanese food such as sashimi 🍣.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Japanese>English

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕
