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 😊.

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 Originally made by another brewery, but when they quit, Aihara Brewery took over the brewery.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!

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 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.

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.

Iwami Ginzan Special Junmai Shiboritate Unpasteurized Sake Sake rice (Hachiranryu) 　(Ota City, Shimane Prefecture/Ichinomiya Sake Brewery) Iwami Ginzan's modified Hachitanryu, a rare sake rice, is distributed in limited quantities. The fresh taste and refreshing acidity unique to freshly pressed sake are pleasant.

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 🍶.

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 ✌️.

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 🍣.

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.

☀️ The rice is Ishikawa Mon, a sake brewing rice from Ishikawa Prefecture 🌾. I like the name, it's very cool 😎. It's sake 🍶. It has a very slight amber color 🟡. I don't know much about wine, but I thought the color was vaguely reminiscent of something you would find in wine 🍷. The taste is a mixture of sweetness like ripe apples 🍎 and a good amount of umami. The wine is very smooth with a slight acidity at the end 🤗.

Sen Junmai Ginjo Firm umami. Delicious to the aftertaste. SUMA SHUZO, Ishikawa Prefecture. Drink and support!

Japanese>English

A special junmai sake with a clear taste. It's a little more refined than I usually prefer. In that sense, it may not be like a special junmai sake, or perhaps it is because it is a special junmai sake? The aroma is nice too... 🤩.
