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.

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👍.

Japanese>English

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

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 😄.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Homecoming Series 13 Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture is home to Shiina Sake Brewery's Fukushin. It is a pure Ibaraki local sake made from 100% Hitanishiki produced in the prefecture! The specs are a special junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 55%. While the aroma is subdued, the taste is a robust sake that hits the right notes of rice! The aroma has nuances of young melon and white bean flour, the acidity is not strong, and the taste is easy to drink with a medium attack and a slightly long finish. For my taste, it is my favorite type. It is too hot to warm up today, but I will add my comments on heated sake later.

Japanese>English

Tomikushin's summer sake, which was absent last year due to lack of Miyamanishiki This year's resurrection is a special junmai, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with Hitanishiki Ogawa yeast instead of Miyamanishiki. Soft and gentle taste and aroma. It has a good ripeness and full-bodied flavor. It has a cocoa flavor that is somehow delicious! It is easy to drink and has no curdle. I heard that this year, they tried to use Ogawa yeast for the sake competition and missed out on a prize, but I hope they keep trying!

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.

Sandesi gave me this 🍶. Daiginjo with 40% Yamadanishiki polished rice Gorgeous and full of flavor. It is beautiful and has a nice umami flavor, yet it is sharp. Very well-balanced and delicious! From the impression I got from the junmai sake I thought it would have a more classical taste I thought it would be more classical, but it is refined and It has a fine taste.

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 😋.

Japanese>English

The third and final group will close with the golden pair of "Isei Seishun" and "Suehiro"! Let's start with "Isei Seishun". Muscat and green apple aroma. The palate is clear and delicate. The palate is clear and delicate, with an elegant, tannic flavor, but with the fruitiness of a white wine. It was so brilliantly delicious that you found yourself swallowing it down in a single gulp ✨.

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😅.

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.

It was refreshing and tasty!
