@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

Not much aroma...old-fashioned mellow umami-kuchi...it's a food sake 🍶 like the local Mukho Masamune or Teisho🌲...it's a sake that is only possible with snacks 🍶...the bitter aftertaste may bother you a little? I think the bitterness of the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome...classical...this is good...I think the hurdle is too high...I'm having it with fried Mexicali...little by little...with snacks...

I wish you the best of luck with this one. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is my second time at Kurumizaka. This time I bought Jun Dai. I noticed after I bought it that it was manufactured in 2017.3 and shipped in 2020.9. ????? The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it had an unusual taste. The flavor and acidity are amplified. On the second day, the flavor and acidity are amplified and it seems to change with temperature. It's so good! 😋

Forgotten things of summer. Kishu Tamakae, Yamahai Kurumazaka. Is the complex acidity in the Noto Toji style? The lingering taste is refreshing and perfect for summer.

☀️ 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👍

Drunken Garden in Azumino, Shinshu. I was curious to buy it because it is 59% Hitogokochi, a Nagano Prefecture sake. As the label says, it is a refreshing sake with a delicious flavor. It is not at the top level of popular Nagano sake, but it has a glimpse of Nagano's sake character.

It's been a day, but I'm sober. Pollen is killing my eyes nose and mouth today. It's like a clear and dry taste. It's raw, so I could clearly feel the umami. After that, we had a welcome party. Since it was a leap year, I wanted to open a bottle of Leap No. after I got home, but I had a feeling that the members of the party would get too drunk. I don't know if I can do it.

First Fukuoka sake on my new account. It is Ikegame from Kurume 🐢. The label is a cute goldfish: ❤️ This is my first time drinking Ikegame, and while it is a junmai sake, it also has a bit of ginjo aroma, which gives it a nice cosiness 😙. It has a refreshing and crisp summery taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and umami that won't interfere with your meal 😋. It went well with meat, fish, and vegetables👍. Thanks to the sake brewery and the store that recommended it to us 🙏!

Pond turtles are good. This is the first time to see this one, and it's also hot, so I thought raw would be good too, so I bought it. It has a very light and refreshing taste, but it has a very strong spiciness and a very strong umami taste. It has a lot of elements that make you want to drink it. It can also be heated. Some of the nama sake can be too strong, but this sake is light, so it goes well with it. I liked how the astringency came out well. Mr. Mitamura went to Arashiyama He was tasting a high Tanzan. He said it is only available at certain times of the year, but it's a great service!

Two years ago 🚗 I visited Minami Haga, a roadside station near a sake brewery, and checked in 😅I bought a mini bottle of Banshu Ichiken and a bottle of Old Pine Sake Brewery's Sansho as a souvenir. Sanyo Bai Sake Brewery and Old Pine Sake Brewery are almost across the street from each other, about a minute walk away, so I recommend you visit both of them 😊. The Sansho is a regional brand 😃👆👆 Like the Banshu Ikken, the Sansho Junmai Ginjo is also made with Hyogo Yume Nishiki sake rice. Maybe it would have been better to warm it up 🧐. Label: 🏷️ Difficulty: low 😍 Soaking in hot water made it easy to peel off. Place to buy 🍶:Roadside Station Minami Haga

The top of the tree. Sourness and sweetness, both present. It leaves an aftertaste, but it is not unpleasant. It was good, moderately rich. What is kijoshu? I searched for it and found out that it is made with sake, not water. I had no idea.

Souvenirs from a trip to see the autumn leaves at Momijiyama in Yamazaki, Shiso City. Currently, there are two remaining sake breweries in the city, Sanyo Sake Brewery and Old Pine Brewery, but until 40 years ago, there was another brewery, Honke Monzenya, which brewed and sold a type of sake called sansho (three laughs). The building of the Honke Monzenya still remains, but in order to make the most of the historical landscape where sake breweries line up from Sanyo Bai to Laematsu and Honke Monzenya, The Yamazaki Central City Area Revitalization Committee (Good Town Project) was formed, and over a period of two years, "Sansho" was revived! There is a café called "Sansho" on the former site. Let's start with the old pine tree.

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!
