Sake degree -30 enjoyment. Smells fresh, like sliced apples. It has a smooth texture, pear-like nuances, and a slight effervescence, with a nice balance of a little sourness and bitterness. The lactic acidity, umami of rice, and a little bit of alcohol make it refreshing and delicious after drinking! I was surprised at how easy it was to drink because I was imagining a sweet juice. It has a buggy feeling like other sake is bitter because it is sweet but doesn't make you feel sweet. Day 2. Clear and good! Would buy again.

What the hell? Yum Kore! Shuwa shuwa fruity♪ I didn't know there was such a modern sake in Niigata? I was impressed. I definitely recommend it to people who like Kaze no Mori and Sancho. Perfect for a hot day like today. I drank the 4-pack bottle instantly after chilling it down to the perfect temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer.

On the second day of my trip to Niigata, I bought this at a liquor store near Niigata Station. I had been curious about it for a while, so I decided immediately. It has a rich sweetness and flavor, and a refreshing slight carbonation. I am very satisfied with it.

Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.

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 😃.

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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👍

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.

Japanese>English

. It has a robust flavor with the full flavor of nama-zake character, slightly sweet and delicious! ✩4.0

Japanese>English

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.

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.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

Japanese>English

A heavy sake with a smooth texture. The sweetness of the rice and the spiciness of the alcohol come together with an acidity that makes it easy to drink.

Hiroshima Sake 🍶. This is also fruity and easy to drink!

Japanese>English

This is the second stage of this year's Moeibuki. This year I bought a sake that I was interested in when it was released last year, And this is my first visit to Houraitsuru. I was expecting to be able to buy it anytime since the brewery is located near the city center, It tasted a little fruity and had a moeibuki flavor. Is the sake a bit on the dry side? This is, It goes well with baby sardine sashimi, a must at this time of year. I used Umakuchi soy sauce from Miyajima Soy Sauce instead of Sashimi Soy Sauce, but the soy sauce is also delicious. I'm getting a little far from sake, It was a delicious sake. Today's beer was Today's beer is SUNTORY's MASTER'S DREAM. The bitterness is a bit harsh, but once you get used to it, it's good.

Japanese>English

Not grilled oysters, but raw oysters. A light sake with a strong acidity. I think it goes well with fish in general. It removes the fishy smell of fish, but it's still refreshing, so it's perfect as a mealtime drink. It also goes well with oily food.

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.

Japanese>English

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....

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

Shirakiku Junmai Genjyu 16-17% 60% 720ml 1000yen approx. Purchased after visiting a brewery in Ibaraki. It is made from "Niji no Kirameki" from Ryukazaki City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is sweet but not cloyingly so. The aftertaste is pungent and astringent. It is easy to drink, although it has a strong alcoholic taste. It is hard to believe that it is a cheap sake under 1000 yen. It is inexpensive and will be a repeat purchase! Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240219

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.
