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.

A sake that seems to be limited to summer. It is sweet and mellow, but easy to drink and delicious.

Here's a post about a sake I had a while ago! I was so busy drinking our family's favorite sake, Seimasamune, that I failed to upload it 💦. Delicious 😍It has the same glutinous rice flavor as last year 🥰The test brew of Seimasamune that we drank before the festival carp was more sweet. This one also has a nice balance of sourness and bitterness❤️ raw power can also be felt. I gave it to a friend of mine who loves to drink, and she was very happy to hear that she drank it with her daughter at night, and that she had never tasted a sake with such a flavor before 🩷. Sake that connects people😍It's nice ‼️

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_74 Aomori Prefecture Booth ③. Nakamura Kamekichi Corporation is located in Kuroishi City. This is a brewery that I had never heard of, as Tsugaru's local sake is relatively rare in other prefectures. Representative brands are Kamekichi and Tamadare. ◉Kamekichi Special Junmai Dry Sake The standard, mildly umami taste, with a clean finish that is not too assertive. It is not too spicy. ◉Kamekichi Junmai Ginjo Slightly sweet aroma, sweet and sour aftertaste, with a slight yoghurt-like acidity. The label makes it sound like a shochu, but it is a very tasty sake.

Japanese>English

☆ It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is a popular sake that can be found at any shop.

When I drink it cold, the bitterness and pungency hit me at first. When I heated it up, the bitterness didn't disappear and sweetness came out 🤔. Maybe I prefer it cold 💕 It was so delicious! I want to drink fresh sake too 🍀. * #Nakamura Kamekichi Co. #Special Junmai Dry #Hanafukiyuki #Mutsuhomare #Old Sake #Aged Sake #Aomori#Aomori

Japanese>English

Buy at the warehouse 1635 yen / 720ml My first Aomori sake. The brewery is located in the old town of Kuroishi City, which we reached after visiting Lake Towada and Oirase. The brewery is a magnificent structure and was the location for the historical drama "Inochi" (Life), with pictures of a young Yoshiko Mita and the late Toru Watanabe. The taste is soft and gentle. Maybe the water is different? Although the sake is labeled as a dry sake, it is not that dry, and it is delicious with a sweet taste. It seems that it could be a little more well-known and popular.

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😄.

Sake in Saitama 🍶. Fresh taste like a fresh sake, a little quirky but that's also good 😋. Sake degree: +6 to +8 Alcohol level: 16-17 Rice: Awa Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 50 Yeast: Association No. 7 yeast

I can't describe it in one word, and I can't speak for myself, so if you haven't tried it yet, please give it a try! Anyway, it is a very good sake! Aged

Japanese>English

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.

Omachi rice + Hakuto yeast used Junmai sake produced by the TAKEO 20 Project, a collaboration of agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students, using specially cultivated Omachi rice from Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City. The label looks modern! This one is definitely fruity 😆. Fruity sweet and sour Light and easy to drink Hiruzen style yakisoba noodles and umaumaumauma 🐎. I bought a lot of kamaboko at Sakaiminato because they are easy to carry and store 🐟. The crab has a very interesting shape and I can't stop smiling just looking at it 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀.

This is my first bottle of "Ishichi" Asahi rice, one of the brands that got me into the sake swamp. It has a nutty, savory, full-bodied flavor with a strong impression of rice sweetness rather than a fruity sweetness 🤤. I knew it! Great cosmetics too 😆.

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!

I bought it in a trial size because I had an image that it looked peculiar. It has a unique flavor that I've never experienced before😳 It's so good! I loved it the first time I opened the bottle😋. I wanted to keep it to enjoy the change in flavor, but it was gone in one night 🤪. I would buy this in a bigger bottle👍.

I wish I could have a better time with you guys! It's hot again today 😟 so I dared to have a room temperature sake on a hot day 😀 Tschida 99. The aroma is gorgeous and when you drink it, it explodes with super rich flavor and sourness 💣️💥The aftertaste is short and snappy and delicious😙It's like a summer sake with a lot of flavor.

Japanese>English

I'll take a small 300ml bottle of Mr. Tsuchida's new sake🙏. It has a fresh taste with the richness and sweetness that only Tsuchida can provide 😆 . The acidity is not so strong, but the flavor is mild and full, and I can't get enough of it...(******)=3 I learned about the appeal of low-fermentation sake from Macho and Tsuchida's Gunma sake ☺️. I knew it, but I should have bought a big bottle (^_^;) I'm working night shift tomorrow, I'll do my best 💪.

I bought it at a product show the other day. I had never heard of this brand, but I tasted it and liked it. It was 19 degrees, so I drank it lightly on the rocks. I paired it with stewed daikon radish and shellfish sashimi as the cold weather deepened. It was moderately dry and went well with sashimi.
