On a trip to Saga. Mellow, dry, delicious.

Japanese>English

Continuing the sake tasting at Takeo Onsen ♨️. I didn't know there were so many sake breweries in Saga. We enjoyed the sake while chatting with the proprietress. No aftertaste, too refreshing. You can compare the taste if you are not drunk 🤣.

Japanese>English

At Yakitori and Chicken Cuisine Izakaya Sabito in Saga. The taste is sweet and sour, with a dry aftertaste and a strong alcohol taste that chills the upper jaw. The aftertaste is dry, with a strong alcohol sensation that tingles in the upper jaw. It can be drunk rather easily.

It is a light amber Junmai-shu brewed with the fantastic sake rice "Kinmon Nishiki". The aroma is cemedine...sweet and bitter with a hint of bitterness! It's dry, so it goes well with thickly seasoned food. For beginners, it is not recommended...? I've been drinking it with bonito sashimi with silver skin...

Japanese>English

This is my first brand. I didn't expect much, but it was delicious and a pleasant miscalculation. The acidity is delicious. It is easy to drink. It is like a summer sake. It has a long aftertaste. It was a hit.

Japanese>English

Polishing 91% The rice is cleaner than expected, so much so that it may no longer be necessary to polish the rice.

Japanese>English

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.

This sake has an elegant muscat-like aroma and a full-bodied rice flavor, matched by a refreshing acidity and spiciness. Serve with macaroni salad

Japanese>English

I bought this sake because it was recommended by the proprietress of the liquor store. It has a mellow aroma and taste reminiscent of melon, and is a high quality sake that is not cloying and does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Japanese>English

A bottle of melon-flavored sake that was recommended to me when I asked the liquor store if they had any melon- or banana-flavored sake. It has been a little while since I have had Abu-no-Tsuru itself, but I am glad I did because I have been wanting to drink it! Ah, so this is the melon type. I'm becoming more and more unable to distinguish it from the pineapple type, and my tongue is getting more and more stupid, but it is indeed melon-type, lol, lol, lol. The third day was a good time to relax, or rather, the tropical aroma was a little lessened, and the taste was well-balanced and amazingly delicious! From the moment you take a sip, the aroma comes in and the umami gradually expands, then the sweetness like Andes melon expands, then the umami fades gently with the sourness, and finally the bitterness comes out gradually. I think I like this feeling a lot. It is a gorgeous yet somewhat subdued sake, but it is actually quite delicious! I really recommend the first or second day for those who like tropical aromas, and the third day for those who want it to settle down a bit more! As is often the case with good sake, I drank it all up quickly...it was actually a great sake...? I was secretly impressed!

Outside drinking. Ordered by the impact of the name. When poured, it smells moist and sweet. The taste is as expected (?). The sweetness is strong. When tasted, it has the flavor of rice. There is a slight astringency in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is clean, with a watery sensation and a nice clean finish. There is a distinctive sweet aroma. It is a mellow, sweet sake, and you can sense the careful craftsmanship. Later I looked it up and found the word "Toyobai" 😳. I didn't realize it was so 😚.

A local sake from Futtsu, Chiba... A faint fruity aroma... A sweet bitterness with a strong bitterness typical of local sake! The flavor of the rice soaks in... The bitterness is followed by a sharpness! It's a good sake to drink while eating.... It's similar to Kotobuki Mangame from Chiba. It's a drink to be enjoyed in small quantities. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Chiba Prefecture Antenna Shop, which was open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station. I had drunk Seisen from the same brewery in the past and was not fond of hiyaoroshi, but I was impressed with it. The first aroma was already gorgeous. It is sweet and a little tangy on the palate. The second half is a little spicy. It was more delicious than I had imagined. Overall, I'd say it's fruity and dry.

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 😊.

Here's the sake, a big issue 馽(hodashi). It has a cool and refreshing taste. I wondered if it would go well with gibier dishes, Ezo-shika deer has no smell at all and is tender and delicious🤣.

The other "Hodashi" is made with Kitashizuku and they are offering a sake that will make the people of Hokkaido happy 🎵Sounds great ✨. It's still dry and refreshing ❗It's the kind of sake that will flow well with very fatty meats 😋.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.
