I was in Akashi on a business trip 🚄 First time I got off at Nishi-Akashi and had local sake heated with Akashiyaki 🐙 which I haven't had in a super long time. It feels spicy at first but the sweetness comes later 😯 Surprisingly, I like it a lot 😊. I'll drink it again when I go back to Akashi 😁.

Kinmon Nishiki and Hime no Mochi. Local lactic acid bacteria used. The richness of sourness and umami is mellow. It has a rather medium taste.

My wife selected this sake (we told the waiter what we liked and he picked it for us), which was also our first sake. Purchased at "Sake-no-Osaka-ya" for ¥1,550-. I was nervous when I opened the bottle because of the warning label, but it was ok😅. As a side note, the fact that it is made from "glutinous rice" reminded me of my very local Yanagisawa Sake Brewery. When I opened the bottle, it had a nice aroma. I poured only the top clear liquid in the first glass. It has a gentle sweetness, like a pre-ripe melon. The slight gassiness combined with the refreshing sweetness made for a very tasty sake. After the second glass, I slowly stirred the lees, but there was no change in taste. It is a type of sake that I have never encountered before, but it is very nice. On the second day, the taste changed drastically, with more sweetness (less gaseous) and a surge of umami, and a slight bitterness that was not noticeable on the first day appeared, transforming it into a deeply flavored sake. Considering the purchase price, I felt the cost performance was quite good. I would like to buy this sake if I could repeat the purchase.

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.

Ki" seems to be written as "㐂". Ki-bu" in three-seven. I couldn't help but smile. The taste of Miyamanishiki is concentrated and has a good flavor! It is served with chicken salt hot pot.

Tonight at our usual izakaya: ❗️ Bring your own drinks with this guy: ⤴️😆 Refreshing, mellow, fruity🌸🍶✨ Sweet and delicious 🐴, spicy and oicy ❕. It has a great balance 😆. While rehabilitating from last night's overindulgence, I'm enjoying it very much.

Next, Niigata sake. In the mouth? Huh? Is it a smooth type? Is it a feeling that the flavor deepens after you gulp it down? Languaging...difficult...😓.

I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️. This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️. I'm not sure what to make of it. I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆. I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰 I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )

Lightly nigori sounds good✨. But surprise, surprise! It's slightly spicy, yellowish, dry, and richly dark😳! This brewery, Okura in Nara, has a unique personality🎵.

I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record. Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout. It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature. The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.

Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

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😄.

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.

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.

Koji ratio 39 A challenge product brewed for the depth of fermentation and the possibility of a wide range of flavors. I don't know the details. It has a unique sweetness and acidity more than kijoshu. It is difficult to taste and understand, but I enjoy drinking it.

Shibuya with customers (1) Yesterday, a drinking party for a group of four with occasional customers. A rather nice restaurant on the edge of Shibuya. A little nice restaurant on the outskirts of Shibuya. The first sake was a request from one of the other guests, Niida Shizen-shu, which none of us had ever had before. (I've had it a few times myself 😆). But the "Tamura" that came out was the first time I had ever had it! 😘. It's like a natural sake, dark and strong. Sweet, tasty, sour all there 😋. But not as sweet as regular natural sake? First dish, hand-rolled seared conger eel and shijimi clam soup!
