⛲️ 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.

Japanese>English

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.

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.

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👍.

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.

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.

☆☆☆☆☆ 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.

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!

I had a chance to drink some sake from a new brewery in Kochi, and I bought it because it was my favorite strain. Personally, I had high expectations for this sake because it comes from Kameizumi. When cold, the aroma was rather subdued, and as the temperature rose, I could detect a pineapple-like aroma, which is typical of Seru. It is a sweet and sour type of sake with both sweetness and sourness coming out strongly, and the sourness leaves a stronger impression than the very sweet type. The sourness that lingers in the mouth leaves a strong impression, and the sake finishes relatively nicely, giving the impression of a dry sake. 720, about 2400 yen

Recently hooked on alcoholic beverages I bought it because of its name. Sake that turned out to be delicious I bought a packet for the first time It was a great success!

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku ⑭ Kawazawa Sake Brewery has been on my radar ever since I saw the news about the brewery's birth. The brewery owner's son? An elementary school boy was going around handing out flyers 😊. Seeing something like this makes me want to support them🤗. We drank Clouds on the mountain Zaagusaag Special Junmai Gohyakumangoku, 60% polished rice I got the impression that it was a dry sake with a good sweetness and umami. Yama ni Kumo no Karara Karara Junmai Daiginjo Gin no Yume 50% polished rice The aroma is sweet. It is sweet and fruity. The acidity is fruit-like. Low alcohol content, light and easy to drink. Expect to find it in the antenna store at KITTE.

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👍👍!

Japanese>English

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.

This is probably the easiest to drink. It has a standard feel to it. The spiciness is just right and it is easy to drink. It is a good sake for beginners to try.

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.

The aroma of sweet rice...fruity...sweet in the mouth and with a crisp finish! It's a little bitter, but I don't mind it... but it's great for sipping on a glass of wine during meals or just sipping it on its own... it's really good.

Slightly yellowish and clear, it has aromas of jasmine, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with firm acidity, moderate sweetness and a rather long finish.
