Good evening! From the past history, I'll upload the sakes I drank at #Ginura Sake Bar. This time, it's "Senshin". This sake is made by Asahi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture. It is 5 years old, but it tastes so beautiful that I felt it was boring for the price. I don't know how I would feel if I drank it now. I would like to drink it again at Gin Kura. (^O^)

This is my second post tonight, back home to my parents 🙌. Kubota Kenshin Junmai Daiginjo 2021BY✨ I'm opening a bottle to feel a traditional sake for the first time in a while: ☺️ The rice used is 100% Takananishiki, and the polishing ratio is higher than that of Manju, which is a high-end line. The aroma is of the light, dry Niigata sake of yesteryear, but with a hint of matured sweet grain 😊The taste is a perfect complement to Japanese food as a mid-meal sake, with a sharp aftertaste, but with a soft, full-bodied rice sweetness that is delicious in its own right 🤤.

Japanese>English

The aroma is fruity and the taste is clear as water.

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

On the second day, we moved to Nagano to a campsite with the best view of the starry sky in Japan. The sky was somewhat cloudy, and we wondered if we would be able to see the starlit sky... We stayed in a bungalow, so we only slept there. We went to Iida City. Iida City seems to be a town of yakiniku (grilled meat), and there are many yakiniku restaurants, but all the popular ones are full of reservations. After an hour of searching around for yakiniku refugees, we finally found one 😅. Kikusui Honjozo Nama-Stored Sake It has a sweet taste and is easy to drink. It has a mild sweetness and is a delicious Honjozo. The barbecue restaurant is diagonally in front of Kikusui Brewery. The third picture is not in the brewery, but it is the warehouse of Kikusui Sake Brewery. It looked more like a factory than a brewery.

Japanese>English

To be served at the restaurant for a family dinner party. The sake is a completely local Kikusui lineup. A great local product with no other sakes. The sake is low in the mouthfeel and opens slowly. The aftertaste is not too strong and enhances the taste of the food. By the way, Saruko-no-Spring is a spring in Iida City that has been selected as one of the best 100 springs in Japan.

Aroma: Fairly weak Mouthfeel Slightly sweet to dry Slightly sweet to dry Alcohol 15%. Rice used: Miyamanishiki Polishing ratio 55 Taste 3.6 Purchased at a souvenir store in front of Iida station Enjoy it on the Iida Line

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👍.

NEW ENGI Yamadanishiki ⑦ Junmai-shu, unfiltered and fired. This is the first NEW ENGI brewed by Tamamura Honten, whose Shiga Kogen Beer is also popular. This ethical sake is not only pesticide-free, but also uses a minimal amount of malt lees from the beer brewing process as organic fertilizer. It has a grape-like heady aroma and a full flavor that spreads and finishes with bitterness and astringency. The beautiful quality of this sake, which is hard to believe that it is a low-polished sake, can only be achieved with organic rice. We enjoyed it cold, but we think it could also be served warm. It has a delicious flavor that could also be enjoyed warmed.

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Yamada Nishiki and Oita Mitsui. The flamboyance of the perimeter. Spiciness swells from the mid-palate and is released in a refreshing manner.

It has a gorgeous yet robust taste with a lingering aftertaste. It was very good with hot pot, but it might not be good with something with a strong taste like kimchi.

Japanese>English

Fruity and floral as the name suggests. It is not too sweet and easy to drink. Takaraiya has a lot of sober sakes, so when introducing them to newcomers, this area seems to be better received.

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.

During a business trip to Sapporo, all-you-can-drink nigori sake was served at a gathering of related parties. It was not too sweet, soft, full-bodied, and very tasty. I couldn't help but drink too much.
