I had never seen this brand before, so I couldn't resist buying it. This is a sake brewery in Shunan City, Yamaguchi. There are about 1,400 sake breweries in Japan, so it's no wonder that there are breweries and brands that I don't know (there are more than 1,000 here). Even if I were to drink one brand every day for the rest of my life, it would take me almost 30 years (^_^;) It's simply impossible. This was an aside. The moment you put it in your mouth, the aroma is distinctive. I wonder what it is, is it the aroma of rice? In total, the aroma is fluffy, the taste is tangy, and the sweetness is warm. I think it's delicious.

It is fresh and crisp, and you can feel the flavor of the rice. It goes well with both fish and meat.

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

Japanese>English

Aroma is discreet but green apple-like. Grain sweetness on the palate, astringency and light gassiness, soft pungency later. The aftertaste is pungent and acidic. Alcohol 16%. Sake meter degree +4 Acidity 1.7 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️

At home. About 30 years ago, when I was in my first year of working, my senior took me to a sake party, and this was the first sake I tasted. Now it's sold in many different varieties, and I feel the times have changed. The taste is still the same, it is as easy to drink as water, and it is a delicious sake that reminds me of those days.

Niigata Sake 🍶. For the record

Japanese>English

The last of the Ohigan parties was the first Kamizenjosui in a long time. I had an image of a more Showa-esque sake, but to my surprise, it really looked like water. It went well with a wide range of foods such as sashimi and Costco high rollers. In other words, it doesn't get in the way. It made me rethink my opinion a little bit. I think I need to update my taste buds by choosing something that doesn't look like a local sake sometimes.

I'm opening another bottle today😍. My first Miyazaki sake. Everyone says Miyazaki is hard to get, so I popped in 🤣 I ordered it with Jidori Koko 👍. It's a bit sweet, but not too sweet. It has a modern umami taste, similar to a brand I've had before like Tsushima-ya 😋 It's quite refreshing and the sharpness disappears quickly 😋 It seems to be the only brewery in Miyazaki that specializes in sake 😋 It's delicious - thanks for making sake 😂.

Japanese>English

★★★☆☆

Scoring: ☆☆☆☆ Miyazaki's only sake brewery specializing in sake, Chitoku Shuzo. It has a mild aroma with a good sweetness 😄. Refreshing drink with little lingering aftertaste. 😋 A lightly flavored umami type, or perhaps an 🏠. Not much umami or bitterness lingering on the tongue. Easy to drink but needs one more punch😅. It has an old fashioned taste but with a modern drinking style😋. Quite a tasty sake😋. Tonight I'm having seafood nabe with oysters, cod and scallops 🎵👍

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 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

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🎶.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Japanese>English

Alcohol content: 15 Sake meter: +6 Acidity : 2.0 Rice Source : Yamadanishiki 20% (Koji rice) Rice Polishing Ratio：60 The taste is mild and reserved, but the aftertaste is sharp and bittersweet, which is good, good, good.

Japanese>English

Yesterday's spoils. Slightly acidic and full-bodied. The flavor overlaps with the umami and extends smoothly.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.
