One of the sake I wanted to try because of the stylish label❗️ A hint of pear? White peach? It smells like pear or white peach 😅 Elegant sweetness and almost no sourness ❗️ No bitterness or habits, and the aftertaste seems to disappear easily 😄. Overall, it's a gentle sake that goes well with meals. It's a delicious sake that can be drunk easily on its own 👍 Even sake beginners can enjoy it 😄.

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

I have never seen this label before. It is a bit old and peculiar, but overall it is a delicious sake.

Does it feel bitter and spicy? This is the first time I've seen this one-cup! I feel more bitterness than spiciness? I wonder if brown sugar soramame would be better than ginkgo nuts...it would mellow it a bit...?

This is the end of the New Year's sake. This is the most beautiful dry sake. The acidity is zero❗️. It is made by the taste of rice and bitterness.

Japanese>English

I was looking at the moon and it got cold... 😋. The flavor precedes the taste, but the bitterness soon rushes in.

Japanese>English

The alcohol content is 20 degrees. It is very strong. The sourness spreads and there is a faint umami taste. We hope to see you again this year.

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔. Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well. After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.

Japanese>English

First impressions are a sharp taste with a dry finish. There is sweet apple flavor with a hint of wood / taru. Good combination with foods that are on the salty side. This is a limited Sake.

It is a solid, head-on, robust sake with the power of a yokozuna, which I felt when I drank Tsururei. The most royal of all the royal roads. This is sake. It has a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami, and is not too pungent. It has the richness of unfiltered sake. It does not have a raw sake feel. It is powerful but not too strong or too thick, so it can be used with anything except sashimi, such as grilled or simmered dishes, or heated up in a hot pot.

The third group of the Sake Rice and Yeast Association is Gintome and Yuko's Idea from Iwate Prefecture. Iwate is often named after the pure-heartedness of the Tohoku region or after Kenji Miyazawa, and the rice is Gintome, which is a Gin user. Yuko, the yeast, seems to be named after the developer, Ms. Yuko Yamashita of the Iwate Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. It is a clear, dry sake. Sake from Iwate is interesting in many ways. To be continued.

August 21, 2023 Dinner at home. At the supermarket I stopped by after work. I found some mebaru sashimi at the supermarket I stopped by after work. I took it home with some sake. The sake I chose was Shimantugawa sake, which I have not had for a long time. It has a gentle The sweetness and crisp, clean taste It is the best match for sashimi. It is not flashy but it is an excellent sake that goes well with meals. It is an excellent sake.

Get this one, too, at a reasonable price😋. This is a Junmai Ginjo sake, and I could taste the aroma and flavor of the rice malt with gusto. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm drawn to the wild side of things😅.

Konokun Junmai Ginjo, dark blue label, unfiltered unpasteurized sake Rated 4.3-4.4 Sake Mashu: Sanki Amazake Moto Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), rice for sake: Tamakae (from Tottori Prefecture), ratio of polished rice: 58%, yeast: 601, alcohol: 14%. The brewing process is based on the acid base yeast. During the yeast yeast preparation, steamed sake rice is put into hot water to saccharify it at high temperatures, and then lactic acid bacteria are added to the rice. This brewing method prevents the growth of bacteria by increasing acidity. This brewing method gives sake a natural acidity, and also produces a sake with a sense of body. The juicy flavor spreads in the mouth, and the acidity from the lactic acid bacteria is pleasantly light and fresh Junmai Ginjo. The juicy flavor is not too harsh, and the acidity gives it a nice sharpness. The aroma is mild to bitter and slightly bitter. Slightly strong body.

I am not a fan of summer drinks. It is because it is often too spicy or too weak. I bought this sake at a certain sake store I always visit when I go squid fishing in Tottori, because the brand I was looking for was out of stock. For some reason, the liquid is pinkish in color, but there is no mention of color in the description. I took a sip. There is no distinctive aroma. Oh, it is surprisingly sweet. It is spicy, but not too spicy that I don't like it. It tastes round. In general, it has a strange taste, and I never get tired of drinking it. There is nothing sparkling about it, but it has an irresistible, smoldering charm that makes you want to drink it. Tottori has a lot of interesting and unusual sake.
