(The best way to get the most out of this product is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at a liquor store on my way back from a visit to a grave in Fukui Prefecture 🙋I bought it because it was reviewed on youtube by Ishikawa's world famous Hoshitaro. I took it out of the fridge and opened the bottle. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. The flavor of the rice and the pleasant acidity. When the temperature is raised, the flavor and acidity are more assertive than right after opening the bottle. It says that it goes well with Japanese cuisine, and I think this is true. It is a good food sake that does not interfere with food. Sari seems to go well with rice crispy rice 😀.

I wanted to drink some more, so I changed the restaurant for the third round of drinks. Sari Sari Tangled Hon Nama from Mouri Shuzo! Mild aroma, rich and full flavor, and a sharp sharp taste ✨. The introduction on the internet said it was brewed with the image of a "moon" floating in the spring haze, so it's been a while since I've had a "moon-viewing sake tonight" 🍶🌛🍶.

A night of drinking at "Fukuna Sakai" with my usual friends. Finally, we ordered the "roasted duck" that we had been curious about, which was quite delicious and similar to the seasoning we had previously had at an izakaya in Kyoto. Now, I've chosen sake from outside of the prefecture, but I ordered a bottle of Fukui sake to finish off the evening 🍶. Sari Junmai Daiginjo The aroma of rice with a hint of acidity, a slight shift from sweetness to umami, and then a sharp finish with a clear rice aroma. The sweetness and umami that is typical of "Sari" and the clean acidity finish off the duck's flavor and fat with a good aftertaste. I had a course, a la carte and various other dishes, all of them were very delicious and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food, so I found a good restaurant ✨I will have to go back in the future

I was reading "kuribayashi" with all my might 😆. I'm embarrassed 🫣. I see you read it as "Ritsurin" 😊. The aroma is mild, the taste is soft, and the cup never stops 🍶. I think it performs great as a food sake. I noticed it was gone lol.

Kuririn drinking comparison, followed by Kanazawa Nishine The light orange one. This one has a gentle sweetness and moist flavor! It is a sake that will make you feel tender with just one sip. Even Putin should try this one! I was surprised to see such a difference in flavor just because it was grown in the same town, but in a different area. Hmmm! It's so deep! Both are delicious, but I personally prefer Rokugo Higashine. Thank you very much for the food!

Souvenirs from Shinshin SY Among several souvenirs, I chose this one intuitively by looking at the label. He brought three four-packs of sake as a souvenir, which is a generous gesture for a business traveler who travels all over the country. I would never have been able to do such a thing with my own pocketbook. When I pour it into the cup, it is more yellow than I expected! Is this a matured type? The aroma is slightly fruity, but has a bitter, mature aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a light sweetness and bitterness, and a moderate umami, but the maturing aroma in the aftertaste is unique. The light sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste are quite a tricky thing to pull off. This strange taste is not one of my favorites, but it is something that makes me want to drink it again. It reminds me of that strange feeling I had in junior high school when I used to prank cigarettes behind my back. It's a treat!

Closing out the drinks we had last weekend 😆. Smell good 😌. The Mikotsuru was quite rich and sweet, so I felt a lot of sourness when I took a sip 😳. The more I drank, the more umami and the sourness and aliveness were also good 👍 I can feel the strong aroma of the barrels! Is this a dry wine? and Nobby Well, I guess it's umakuchi. It is labeled 18 degrees, but you don't feel it. I thought it would have been better if it was warmed up to lukewarm 🤔 I thought so later, but I finished it before I realized it 😆. But I drank a little too much from Thursday to the weekend 😓. I'll enjoy a quiet rest day for the first half of this week 😮💨.

Tonight, I'm opening a bottle of the first bottle of Masamune instrument for the weekend dinner because it's so good it's about to run out 💁. Shikishima Light Nigori Nama Sake 2022BY Back on the nigori road a bit, but again it's almost a year old 😅. When I opened the bottle, I could hear the gas escaping with a nice sound. The aroma is mainly chemically aromatic, with a hint of greffle skin and a little bit of maturity. The mouthfeel changes from sourness and citrus bitterness to bitterness, umami, and spiciness. The alcohol content is 18%, so it has quite a punch, but the sweetness and umami from the aging process gives the impression that it is more rounded. It's good that the lees are so cloudy and the umami and richness is so much better 😊.

I chose this one based solely on the likability of sounding like "thank you". The brewer, the Kato family, has had "Ari" in their name for generations, so the name is "Ari-Kato. Furthermore, the Kato family is also related to Kiyomasa Kato, a warlord of the Warring States period. I had always thought of Kiyomasa as being associated with Kumamoto Castle, but this was the first time I learned that he was also associated with Yamagata and Tsuruoka. Learning history through sake. The right way to drink lol #Yu Kato #Fuji Sake Brewery #Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture #Junmai Ginjo #Limited edition sake from the brewery

Mr. Masushin. A little apple aroma. Eiko Fuji no Ouzo. It has a slightly astringent taste from sweetness and cut by acidity. We enjoyed it with grilled chicken, grilled vegetables, consomme soup with mushrooms and bacon, and pickled radish and carrots. It is sweet but has a nice sharpness and acidity, It is a delicious sake that can be served with any dishes. It is a dangerous sake with a strength of more than 16 degrees Celsius, which will soon disappear.

Continued... Elements of Life Rindo Namaishu 2016-2017vt. This one has a rather sharp profile, bitternutty but a bit light on aging. [Karisshimi n6 Nama Sake] Sake rice is Watabune and No. 6 yeast is used. It was light and spring sake-like. Gold Front Hi-iri This sake is a low alcohol kijoshu with a lot of information. The taste is light and sweet, with a hint of bitterness in the middle of the taste. It has a bitter aftertaste. Kijoshu Monsoon Tamakae Hi-iri A sweet sake with a full-bodied flavor that I like. But there is a sharp taste afterwards. Kijoshu Monsoon Ginbuki Hi-iri It has a sweetness and a tangy aftertaste. Intense 620 Grape The mouthfeel is juicy, light and refreshing. Grapes? It is a bit like a grape. Primivaldax. The last of the Shiki Theatre. My Be Loved Farewell. Low alcohol, clear and tasty, slurpy type. It's very good. Saber the Flavored Sakura Nama Sake This one is more acidic and has a springtime sake feel. Akai Ito Nama Sake This one is sweet and delicious, but not too strong. Next brewery

Tonight, it's Hochotsuuru from Yamaguchi Prefecture in the 8th installment of our first series & muddy pick ✨. 100% Yamadanishiki, 50% polished rice, 17% alcohol by volume 🍶 Almost no gas when the bottle is opened. The aroma has a gentle sugary sweetness, and the mouthfeel is characterized by a sweet flavor and a soft sake quality. When mixed with the lees, it is milky without lactic acidity🥛 and full-bodied with a spicy taste😋😋😋😋.

(It is very spicy and dry. It's very dry and spicy, but it's also very tasty when heated. Warmed to lukewarm, it's a little more mature. Each temperature range has its own effect. I'm a big fan of super dry sake, and this one is right in the middle of the pack. Mr. Ota is in Shimoda again! He was eating sea bream rice cake! I knew Izu was great!

I'm buying some kind of Hochodzuru. Fresh and corked! It's a slightly dry, sharp junmai nama sake. Cheese goes well with it. It's sharp and can be warmed up. Mr. Ota's second bottle from Fukuejima! The craft gin looked good, but it was too expensive...
