(ˊ일ˋ )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and cheer 📣✊. This sake is from Shimizu Sake Brewery in Kawai-cho, Wajima, which suffered a big fire after the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The building was not completely destroyed or destroyed by fire, but there was a lot of damage 😢This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. The aroma is only a little, and the sake is a solid amber color🤔It says it is dry, but it has a refreshing umami taste😊The sweetness and acidity are moderate and the aftertaste is super refreshing😚✨You will not get tired of drinking it and it will go down easy😇 It's a delicious sake that can reset your palate during a meal 🥳👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.

7 points (Wife 7.5) Rice : Ehime Shizuku Ehime Rice polishing ratio : 60 Sake Degree : ±0 Purchased from: Mizuguchi Shuzo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture Silent when opened, no gassiness Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of rice flavor. The same mild aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. Overall, it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is good for accompanying a meal, but it may be too smooth as a stand-alone sake. The taste may have changed since the one I bought from a brewery in Ehime this time last year came out of the fridge. It went well with spicy grilled minos and Umaibo shrimp mayonnaise flavor.

The aroma of sweet rice...fruity...sweet in the mouth and with a crisp finish! It's a little bitter, but I don't mind it... but it's great for sipping on a glass of wine during meals or just sipping it on its own... it's really good.

Purchased at Koga, a roadside station. The texture was a little heavy and wet on the tongue. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the spicy flavor. The sharp taste in the mouth makes you think you are drinking sake. It is a good sake. I really like this one. I am always happy to have this sake for dinner.

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... ....

It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".

Clear and refreshing! (These are just the impressions of a sake beginner. (These are just my impressions as a sake beginner, please don't get me wrong. It's all right as long as you enjoy drinking it.) (The following is a reprint from the description on the Internet. It has a fresh aroma and a smooth smooth throat. It has a dry, light taste with excellent sharpness. It is recommended for first-time sake drinkers as it is easy to drink. Incidentally, the Sudoh family has been brewing sake since the end of the Heian Period (1141, the first year of the Eiji Period), and is the oldest brewery in Japan, now in its 55th generation. The brewery is located in Kasama City (formerly Tomobe Town) in the center of Ibaraki Prefecture.

The second drink at Marukoma was my first "Koshu". It is light and crisp with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The second sake was "Koshu", which is also from Niigata but has a different flavor from the "Hokusetsu" that we drank for the first sake 🎵.

This Sake is light and not too sweet. There are herbal flavor notes like licorice and mint. The finish is clean with a light mineral aftertaste. I am told this is a limited, seasonal Sake.

At home. Sake tasting party with friends after a long time. We brought our own sake. First up was a local sake from Echigo-Yuzawa, a gem bearing the name of the first head of the Shirataki Sake Brewery. The aroma is gorgeous, and in the mouth you can taste the acidity and umami, with a slight lingering alcohol taste. It leaves a slightly bitter or rough feeling in the back of the throat. The Shirotaki Shuzo is known for its Kouzen Nyosui, which has a fuller aroma and taste compared to the Kouzen Nyosui. The bottle was also unusual, with an innovative volume of 630 ml. This is the first brand I've seen and the taste is great. ‼️

Shirotaki sake from Echigo-Yuzawa's "Shirotaki" and "Kamizen Josui" breweries. Minatoya Tousuke is the name of the founder. It has been quite a while. Junmai Daiginjo with 50% polishing. It has a peachy, elegant aroma and a smooth mouthfeel👍.

The toast was Tsuji Zenbei, from the Tochigi sake drinking contest. It is a sake from Moka city, a neighbor of Utsunomiya. 💁🏻♀️ It has a soft mouthfeel and a nice, clear, high acidity sharpness...

PREMIUM S 1800ml Ingredients ... Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), Brewer's alcohol Rice used ... 100% domestic rice Rice polishing ratio ... 68 Alcohol percentage ... 16 We had it bundled with Urasato Usu Nigori. I was attracted by the concept of cheap and tasty sake. If you try to get rid of the miscellaneous flavors, you lose the umami, and I wondered how it was possible to keep it. I felt that the umami was more pronounced on the second and third days than on the first day. I wonder if I expected a little too much, but I am curious to know how it is in the local market.

I've never had this sake before❗️. There are many delicious sake in Tochigi, so I'm looking forward to opening the bottle 😀. The aroma is subdued❗️ I'm not sure if this is the first time I've had it, but I'm sure it will be the last. When the temperature rises slightly, the sweetness and sourness are refined and the aftertaste disappears like water👍. The overall balance of the sake was good and it was very easy to drink😄.
