. If you think the denim label is unusual, the brewery is located in Kojima, Kurashiki City, the birthplace of domestic denim! The inside of the bottle has a slightly sweet, light, and refreshing taste that is easily accepted by young people, just like the label says. This was not just a product that was a front for the bizarre, but a product that was a true test of what was in the bottle.

Gin-no-sato. Bursting with fresh flavor. It extends to the back of the mouth and is firm.

I bought this sake that I had seen here and there at Sake-no-Wa. I see you are the brewery that produces Tagaji 🤔. The denim label is stylish 😎. It has a melon taste when you drink it. It's so fresh! This is excellent for the price! I found a good drink👍

- ̗̀( ˶^Insertion'˶)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had a farewell party for one of my seniors at work who came from Tokyo to support us 🥩🔥 and while we were eating, we got an earthquake alert😱 There were 7 of us and 14 company and personal cell phones started ringing at once😰 The shaking was not serious so it was a relief 😮‍💨 but.., Alerts always surprise me 😵. I'm always surprised by alerts 🤵🤵 After coming home, today I had my first glass of Akebono sake from Himi, Toyama Prefecture😃The aroma is mild🤔It seems to have a little bit of gas 😊It has a good balance of rich flavor and firm acidity 😚👍The taste is robust and lingering, and you can really taste it 😘This is a delicious sake 😘. It is a delicious sake 🥳.

A low alcohol, slightly sweet drink. It's refreshing and clean, so it's suitable for summer.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

( ⑉¯ ⑉ )🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I received a gift of sake called Kansai 😀 This is a brand I have never heard of before 😊It seems to be a popular sake often drunk in Fukui. When I drank it, I found it to be a strong style of traditional sake 😚 with a good balance of flavor, sweetness, and bitterness, and it was thick 🥰It was like an all-purpose sake 🤤.

Japanese>English

Drinking out after a long time, a dinner party with the whole family It was a chilly autumn night, so we had some local sake hot. The soft taste on the palate and the heat from the warmed sake filled our bodies! This Kansai hot sake, which is easy to drink and has no quirks, has become my standard for comparing hot sake. The image of the bottle is borrowed from the official website.

The other day, my dad and I went to my parents' house for a long time. We started with beer 🍺, then I brought the rest of the "True White" that I had opened the other day, and my dad brought out some sake that had been laying around for a while, so we had a drink here 🍶. Kansai Junmai Sake. I often drink "Kansai Kaisen" hot, but this is my first time to drink Junmai Sake 🤔. Clean and beautiful rice aroma, rounded flavor and refreshingly pleasant aftertaste, probably due to the cellaring. The taste is different from Katayama's other brand "Gassa Junmai Ginjo", but it's hard to tell how much of it is due to the aging process 💦. However, I have a feeling it would make a beautiful hot sake when heated. By the way, when I gave "True White" to my father, he said it was too sweet, but when my mother drank it, she said it was delicious 😁. The fourth picture is from a trip to Atsuta Jingu Shrine in Nagoya, where I lived for two years after graduating from high school, to purify my car and eat Hitsumabushi. ［It was my first time to eat at "Unagi Owada" because "Atsuta Horaiken" was closed, but the sauce was much lighter than this one.

This Sake is very interesting. It has a citrus flavor like grapefruit. The flavor really cleanses the pallet.

Junmai nama-shu YAMADANISHIKI 90 Rice polishing ratio 90%❗️ This is the challenge sake of Michiko Urasato, the female toji of Yui. Yamada Nishiki is brewed at 90% polishing ratio without polishing. The taste of the rice is rich and intense❗️, but there is a light fizzy feeling. There is also a little bit of orage mixed in. This is why it is milder and softer in the mouth than I expected. The aftertaste is refreshing. It's amazing. Michiko Urasato, Toji 💡. I had it with ginger yaki, and it was delicious. The sake and side dishes go well together😆. I've heard that if you let it sit for a few days, you'll get a different taste of the rice, so I stopped at halfway today. I heard it's also good at different temperatures.

2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵‍💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

Japanese>English

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.

I bought it at Ikebukuro Tobu as it was a limited edition ✌️ It's a dry sake, but it's drinkable without hesitation, which is a sin, isn't it? The smell that goes through your nose is good!

Japanese>English

A dry sake with a nice sharp taste✨ Sake tastes even better when you drink it at a counter with a slightly higher chair height 💭.

It's so rich and delicious! Now I want to try it hot.
