Tonight, we have a first in the series, this one from the Higashitsuru Sake Brewery in Saga Prefecture. It seems to be a 🌸🍶 spring sake, but I'll have it in delay mode as usual😅. From the opening of the bottle, it has a gorgeous acidity and a nice greenish pineapple aroma 🍍☺️ The top clear layer is sweet and acidic and juicy, but the second half is characterized by bitterness, making it easy to drink 😋. The sake rice is different, but I think the quality is similar to that of Hana-yosuyu. Saga still has a lot of good sake 🥳.

Higashitsuru Aoki Ogami Junmai Ginjo Comet. It is a delicious sake with an elegant sweetness and a clear throat. This is said to be last year's version. Niseko, Bunkajin, Higashitsuru, all of them are now available.

Japanese>English

This is a prototype of Azuma Tsuru. The sweet and sour taste comes from the tingling sensation on the tongue. It is delicious. For more information, please see the posts by Yucachin and Rumion.

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Japanese>English

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

Yogurt, citrus acidity, and rosemary. In other words, the creaminess of cheesecake.

This is the second bottle of Hoshisen I bought in Nara! Slightly effervescent, rich sweetness like lychee. It has a slightly dry atmosphere and is sweeter than the No. 5 yeast. It also has a burnt candy-like taste. I wish there were more stores where I could buy it.

Japanese>English

Yesterday I went to a brewery in Agui-cho, Aichi Prefecture and purchased this sake. This sake is the new sake of the month. The sake rice is Aichi rice (Wakamizu Aichi no Kaori). The sake was easy to drink with a gentle sweetness and a light, refreshing taste. It tasted better than expected. 1,595 yen.

The bitterness, sourness, and sweetness are absorbed into the throat.

CWS. I've been interested in Shiro-Ko for a while, so I bought it at Edion along with the Tazake zodiac label. Low alcohol. The aroma has a strong alcohol smell. Slightly effervescent and gentle on the palate. Slightly sweet and slightly sour. Mineral taste. It disappears and disappears quickly. As it says, you can drink it forever.

Japanese>English

The sake was made by aging sake for 238 days in wine barrels that were used to age Merlot at Shinshu Takayama Winery (Nagano Prefecture). It was an easy to drink sake with a sweet and light flavor. I opened it right away. 2530 yen.

Japanese>English

The spoils of the previous two, Part 2. Shin and spicy base flavor runs. The aftertaste is mellow.

Kansai Sake-new year party ㉔ After a short cab ride, we went to Chuin-san, familiar to us from Aladdin-san's post. Inokashira, a sake I had never heard of until now😅. The rice used is Hitogokochi. I think it was fresh, fruity and gently sweet 🤔.

Japanese>English

Classic firm aroma. The strong sweetness is not fruity, but the taste of the rice itself. The flavor is also strong. A direction of Hitogokochi that I did not know.

Japanese>English

💧 Ingredients: Rice (Nagano Prefecture), Rice Koji (Nagano Prefecture) Alcohol content: 15%. I was a baseball fan in my company and we talked about applying for 200,000 yen box seats at Hamasuta. 200,000 yen for 8 people is hesitant even if you are a baseball fan. I would pay half if they would come to the Hanshin game 🐯 but they said no😢They don't want to go to the Hanshin game because it's not safe. Yeah, I understand 🤣. So I decided to ask for help 🐎. Last week's Derby, I couldn't win just by naming my favorite numbers, only by trying to win a million tickets 💦This week's Yasuda Kinen, I chose it accordingly, even though I was told, "It's a buy based on the experts' predictions. Now, let's see..! And today's sake was Inogashira, which has a cooler label because it was hot. Of course, it is a hanpukai, so I did not see it at the Nagano station last week. Like yesterday, it is a ramune with a sweet taste at first sip. I love the way it goes down so smoothly and soaks into your whole body. It's delicious 😋 It has a slight bitterness in the middle of the meal, which also goes well with it. I drank it all up in no time and had some of yesterday's Oze Snow as well. I still have some left over.

Not much aroma...old-fashioned mellow umami-kuchi...it's a food sake 🍶 like the local Mukho Masamune or Teisho🌲...it's a sake that is only possible with snacks 🍶...the bitter aftertaste may bother you a little? I think the bitterness of the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome...classical...this is good...I think the hurdle is too high...I'm having it with fried Mexicali...little by little...with snacks...

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is my second time at Kurumizaka. This time I bought Jun Dai. I noticed after I bought it that it was manufactured in 2017.3 and shipped in 2020.9. ？？？？？ The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it had an unusual taste. The flavor and acidity are amplified. On the second day, the flavor and acidity are amplified and it seems to change with temperature. It's so good! 😋

Japanese>English

Forgotten things of summer. Kishu Tamakae, Yamahai Kurumazaka. Is the complex acidity in the Noto Toji style? The lingering taste is refreshing and perfect for summer.

　　　Honestly, it's not my favorite⁉️ The flax cat is still there. 🐈 But with ispahan, the sour flavor of the cake goes well together💕 思議🤔 Thank you for the many delicacies this year. I'm looking forward to another wonderful encounter next year... I hope you all have a happy new year. Katya

I had a good thing, so I left this in the refrigerated room, which has become a dedicated temperature for cooling sake, just in case something good happened. The carbonated bubbles were large (I personally prefer a smaller one), Anyway, it was easy to drink and tasted so good that I drank it right up. I could taste it, but it was so easy to drink. And drank it in no time, I went to bed with a patter, though, The next day, I felt so refreshed. It was so refreshing that I wondered if I had drunk it the next day. I could have drunk as much as I wanted. Thank you very much.

A splash when the bottle is opened! Slightly sweet aroma... The supernatant has a strong bitter taste. This is the first time for me to drink "Yuki Megami" sake rice produced in Yamagata Prefecture! The aftertaste may be a little bit bothersome. But when it's a bit dry, it's sweet and delicious....

Japanese>English

Yesterday's second bottle was the one I️ had to repeat in a bottle of Oumine-san ‼️which I️ had killed in a 4-gouge bottle at a previous Hyena meeting👍. It's a summer sake, but Omine-san has my favorite taste 😋 It has a slight hint of oji, but the sweetness is just right too👍Omine-san is a bottle of sake👍 We drank it with 4 of us, and we will drink it all 😅.

The sake rice is rice rice Sasanishiki. It was recommended to me by the owner of the sake shop I usually go to. It is tangy and spicy at first, and then a mildly sweet taste spreads in the mouth. It was delicious. 1,650 yen.

Friday Single Cup. Shiraki Kugin Sushi Rice, lychee start with banana liqueur sweetness, fine carbonated bubbles, smooth acidity in the mouth first, rice flavor sweetness to support the middle, apple core sweet and bitter clean finish.

Chinese>English

Since I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake. The aroma is faintly muscat-like. The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle. The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense! The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.
