Kissui Hidari Uma 3

This sake is a cross between Yume no Kaori ✖︎ and Fukunoka. It is a dry sake with a little sweetness and a robust umami flavor. It is more suitable as a well-balanced food sake than as a stand-alone sake.

〰fixture Yume-no-Ko (fragrance of dreams) 2022/12 Fukushima-produced Yumenokoh reduced to 50%. Aiming for a balance between a full sweetness and a lingering aftertaste The clean sweetness produced by the koji malt and sexiness in the beautiful sweetness produced by koji mold. Knowing the workings of life with all five senses The spirit of brewing with the utmost sophistication of brewing If you put it on the divine horse "Sama", that is to say it will be "Sei-iki Sama" and bring "blessings" to people. It is exactly as it should be, a beautiful sake with a glossy finish. The acidity is also strong and powerful.

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Today we visited the Tottori & Okayama Antenna Shops, a place of relaxation for Masamune hunters 📡. As soon as I arrived there, I started looking for Masamune and found it 🤩. It's sake 🍶. It has a crisp, Hakka-like aroma. It is also very refreshing on the throat. The umami of the rice is subdued, and then there is a subdued sweetness and an equally subdued acidity. Overall, it has a light and simple taste 😙. It is probably best suited as a food sake 🍶. The Hakka flavor, combined with the oiliness of the food, seems to help the oil from the food to be washed away quickly 😁. Nice Masamune👍

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

Quite a fine Junmai Daiginjo sake. There is enough mellow deliciousness. It is a talented brewery in Saitama. Aside from Kamikame, it is the second best sake in Saitama after Hanayo-yoku.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I drink it at home. I bought it from Kurumiya in Hachinohe because they only sell one bottle of sake in my neighborhood. I also bought two other kinds of sake that cannot be bought in Kansai. The packaging was very careful and excellent. The aroma is subtle, with hints of strawberries and berries. The refreshing sweetness and acidity are pleasant. The final taste is bitter. I have the impression that Miyamanishiki and other sake I have had in the past were sweeter. I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy Shugou... I heard that the sake brewery here is aging, with all the employees over 65 years old. I wonder if that's why they don't distribute much.

The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

Scoring☆☆☆☆ Kamikame Shuzo's Sake Pants from Saitama All products bearing the name "Hikomago" are aged for more than three years in the brewery before being shipped. Open the bottle! 🌠 The sweet aroma of rice drifts faintly in the air😄. The first glass is a cold sake. Rich, soft, and robust. 😋 The second glass is lukewarm or hot ❗ The rice flavor is nice 😋 A little nostalgic, I️ surprisingly like the taste of Junmai sake🎶. Tonight I paired it with shabu shabu and it was a good match for the meat👍. I recommend drinking it warmed up with strong flavored food and cheese😄.

It is Sunshu Nakaya Dry Junmai +10. It has a refreshing dry taste that seems to penetrate. It is clear throughout and you will not get tired of drinking it. It is a delicious sake that will satisfy even dry sake lovers.

Japanese>English

It was very light and dry, as expected from Mt. Fuji's underground water, and it went in easily.

Japanese>English

The rice used is "Yamadanishiki", "Miyamanishiki" and "Gohyakumangoku". Is this the first time for Fuji Takasago? It's definitely dry, but it's not like a +10. It is soft on the palate, light and refreshing, but with a solid flavor. There is a sweetness behind the spiciness. The finish is crisp and clean, and goes away quickly. This is a good sake to drink during meals, and a very good sake for everyday drinking!
