Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

It is quite a good taste. It is a taste with a sense of gravity that cannot be described.

Had this special high grade sake from Oujiman brewery. It has a 6% rice polishing ratio!! I loved its mellow fruity notes and a elegantly clean finishing, it keeps tempt you to drink it. I'll definitely buy this again next time.
I drank it in a wine glass. As written, it has a strong aroma of banana and melon, and the melon aroma is very much present in the mouth. Later, I tried it hot, and it was very easy to drink, with a mellowness and sweetness that increased.

It was a gift at the beginning of the year. I remember drinking it for the first time last year and it was very tasty. This year is no different, with a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that goes well with refreshing food. (Today, I had kamaboko as a snack.) Japanese sweets made with azuki beans would also go well with this drink! I hope we can drink it again next year!

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Souvenir purchase from a trip to Osaka (2) This one is also dry and mild on the palate. Light. It has acidity and is fruity. I wonder if Kansai people tend to drink a lot of mustard.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

The last bottle I brought back from Ueda. It was sweet in the mouth! Then it was immediately spicy! It's like a roller coaster with extreme tastes. I think it's a roller coaster.

A gift from a colleague from Ueda City. One sip, and first of all, it is beautiful! Elegant aroma and mellow, not too sweet. A taste for adults? It tastes like an adult.

I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

Beautiful pink sparkling. Pink in a slightly different direction from rosé wine. I regret that I should have taken a picture of the glass. It is 8 degrees alcohol by 220ml and easy to drink. Sweet and sour, delicate and soft bubbles are nice.

It is not only sweet. Sweet, a little spicy with a touch of spiciness, acid, drinkable. Well made and named.

Hmmm...it's +10 dry, but I feel the dry finish is very good. It's not too dry and spicy, but it's full of spiciness and delicious flavor. You can enjoy it. It reminds me of ears of rice under the blue sky of Shonai, a rice place.

Purchased at a supermarket in Rokko-do It's pretty sweet, but not the modern kind, but the rice sweet and tasty type. It has a sharp taste or a little bit of a zing to it. I think it tastes beautiful for a rice polishing ratio of 70%. I bought it at a supermarket, but it's even better than I expected. The more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. It's great cold, but I think it would be better if it were lukewarm 🤔. The third one, after I posted about the Tochigi booth, my recommendations were full of Tochigi sake 🤣.
