One cup of "Ureshicho" in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture. The acidity of this sake is classic. Paired with fried potatoes, a souvenir from my wife and son's trip to Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture.

Purchased at Umeda Department Store. (Hankyu or Hanshin) One of seven breweries in Nara Prefecture that belong to the Nara Prefecture Bodai-Hashimoto Sake Research Association. See label on back. Rich, mouthfeel It is a sweet type, but the far and spreading umami and bitterness It was delicious and matched well with food. It became mellow and mild when heated to lukewarm and I could enjoy it with ease 😁. I am interested in the history of sake only when I taste Bodaihashi.

It is a set of 5 cups of Kinki local sake 😁. It is a gift from an acquaintance 🍶. It is 📌180ml ¥Unknown 🌈1/5th cup 🌈 Here's the rice 🍶. Start with room temperature 💕 Not much aroma 💕 The color is beautiful💕 You can feel the sweetness of the rice on the palate, but you can also taste the umami 💕Yumai 💕 Then I tried heating it up to lukewarm💕 The aroma has more sweetness💕 When warmed up to lukewarm, it tastes more pungent than sweet💕. It's also interesting to taste the different flavors 👍 Today's pairing is pot-au-feu 😋. It's a great pairing 👍 I wanted to try the cold sake but it ran out quickly 🍶thanks to a friend👍

I bought this at Mori Sake Brewery on my last trip to Hirado! The president of the company was in charge of the cash register that day😆. He politely introduced us and told us that it tastes best chilled in a wine glass! Sweet and sour from the aroma Tastes like plum wine Slightly sticky texture A little sweet but not too sweet Slightly rice bran-like, but you can sense the grains and nuts that only low-polished rice can provide But still sweet 😃. Sweet and delicious as a dessert wine I had it with Nagasaki Fukusado sponge cake a few days ago Champagne split today 🤣. Half and half Pour in a 1:1 ratio Marriage of Philando and Champagne 😉. Makes it less sweet. Maybe just the right amount of sweet 🤔.

This sake has a robust sweetness and acidity, like a dessert wine. It tastes like grapes and honey, with a pleasant aftertaste. Yet, it has a refreshing aftertaste.

Second bottle. First time for me to drink Philando. It was a little cloudy when poured into a glass, and both sweet and sour tastes were strong and delicious. I would like to try a regular one next time.

My colleague brought it to me 🎵 It was my first time to drink this sake 🍶 It has a delicious white wine-like flavor and a rounded sake taste ❗The lingering taste is not sweet but has a bitter flavor like chocolate 😉 It was an interesting and delicious sake 😉. It may be a bit on the refreshing side, but it doesn't make you think it's super dry, it's a good sake for those who are looking for a dry sake 😃.

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

The alcohol content is high at 17 degrees. However, it is an ice-aged sake. When you sip it, you can feel the corners have been removed. The taste is a little tangy. It was delicious!

Kokushu fair 2025 in Osaka⑳⑳ Ibaraki Prefecture booth 10 When we say "Shirakiku" in Kansai, the image of Shirakiku Brewery of Daisen Shirakiku comes to mind, but Hirose Shoten in Ishioka City has been using the brand name of Shirakiku since 1805 when the company was founded. ◉Shirakiku Junmai Ginjo The taste is mild and mellow, with a dark sweetness. It has a complex aftertaste. According to bouken's information, it is made from rice Inochinoichi, which is a mutation of Koshihikari. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from bouken-san.
