Taste of the Ancient Times Aroma reminiscent of old wood and steamed rice. The sharp mouthfeel is followed by a tangy, pungent taste. The taste is full of alcohol with a hint of umami, and finishes with a lingering pungent and astringent aftertaste. It gives the impression of good old tradition. It tastes like an old house. We would like to support this brewery as it is the nearest brewery to Okayama. ★★★★

Bizen tasted Ichinomiya sake. The labeling was a bit dubious, with no indication of rice polishing ratio or alcohol content, and "Junmai Daiginjo" pasted on the label after the fact... The taste was fresh and light. The taste was fresh, light, and refreshing.

Obtained at a brewery festival. Sourness and bitterness on the palate, with a hint of ginjo. I guess it's not my favorite sake...

Our annual sake party 😁 today with three of us 🌸. My friend brought me this sake from Naito Brewery in Sobue, Aichi👍. It's very light and easy to drink. It has a dry throat, but not too much acidity, and you can taste the flavor😋. It's a great sake to drink with two great drinkers and it's easy to drink like water😝.

Japanese sake party with a wild rice cake! A toast to the local sake brought by my friend👍. The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads at once 😋 It's not rich, but the taste is strong. It is a dangerous sake that can be drunk easily😝. I had it with some sashimi and it was delicious. I'm sure you'll agree that sashimi is a must for sake👍.

First Nagoya Night of the Year First sakayu at the hotel after a long time meeting for dinner The rice used was Yumesansui produced in Aichi Prefecture. An orthodox junmai sake with a strong sweetness. It is best to drink it chilled after a meal. It is not too heavy, but I felt it was a little heavy.

The taste is rich and drinkable, and the flavor has a slight sweetness afterward. Sake from Mikawa is served at a restaurant near the sea that is open from morning in Mikawa. It is the best.

Japanese>English

I thought it was a delicious sake with a subtle fruity aroma followed by sweetness and a dry, bitter aftertaste that was crisp, clean, and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I chose to have a refreshing drink on consecutive summer days. Low al and strong gas. I was careless and spilled a little. It was a light sake and a little unsatisfying, but at this time of the year ⭕️ I enjoyed the medium fatty tuna and the rock mozuku 😊.

The rice used is. Yume Issho from Fukuoka Prefecture Freshly pressed and unpasteurized sake, it has a fresh and crisp mouthfeel. It has a slight muscat-like sweetness and a refreshing finish. You can drink it like a soft drink. It is suitable for a wide range of dishes, but I think it is best served with yakiniku (grilled meat). It is perfect for a rich flavor. ❣️ I would like to repeat this delicious sake. ‼️

Japanese>English

. Sake rice: Yume Ikkyo Rice polishing ratio: 65 At "Yakitori Genkotsuyama" in the main station of Toyohashi Yakitori at GENKOTSU YAMA Sharp, dry and crisp! Not much of the nigori (nigori sake) character! ✩3.5

Japanese>English

. Sake rice: Omachi Polishing ratio: 65 Not much Omachi character. It has a calm flavor. It is best served hot or lukewarm! Similar to Shinkame in flavor! 3.5 stars

Sake from a brewery in my hometown. The original sake, which was brewed in 2001 and entered in a sake competition, was stored in ice for 20 years. We were grateful to receive it.

295 yen. A little more expensive than Asahi Super Dry 500ml can. It has a thin, pear-like smell. It tastes bitter from the beginning when you let it get some air from the sake-like taste, and it has a light, thin taste until the end. I think it is 3 times more intoxicating than Asahi Super Dry.

Japanese>English

I finally bought a bottle of "Nobeyokocho". A warm one-cup cup is good.

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

Japanese>English

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️

Japanese>English

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421

☀️ This is the first time I've seen a drink without a label 🏷️. Instead it has a ribbon🎀 which makes it unique 🤩. There is an initial feeling of alcohol, but it is quickly followed by a sweetness. Soft sweetness with a melon flavor. It can be fluffed up as it is. A sake that tastes as unique as it looks 🍶.

Japanese>English

Leaving the new sake festival, we went to the second restaurant. The second party was at a soba restaurant on the restaurant floor of Amu Plaza Kumamoto, adjacent to the station. This soba restaurant has a great selection of sake 😁. The price is... no way 🤣. The second drink was Shashaemon I had this sake at this restaurant before, but I couldn't remember what it tasted like, so I ordered it. The moment I put it in my mouth, the gorgeous aroma spreads and sweetness, sourness, umami, and spiciness all come at once 😳. This feeling is like no other 😁. You can enjoy this on its own or as a food sake 🥰.
