Smells like walnuts? Gorgeous cemedine, smell of alcohol after some time. Mild mouthfeel, then sweetness like three warm sugar, light pungency, aging aroma, as you swallow, the taste becomes milder, and gradually bitter from sweetness. Alcohol 20%, well 20% is intoxicating.

Japanese>English

This is delicious. I sent a bottle of Yamagata wine to my cousin who lives in Nagoya, and this is my return gift. I'm satisfied with this sake because it has the feeling I like. It's good at room temperature. It rides softly on the tongue with a sweetness that flows easily. I like Halley's Comet.

Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store. Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste. This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Japanese>English

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku. The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi. It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity. As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

Japanese>English

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day. It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use. When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see. I don't think it should be chilled too much. If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you. I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while. There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic. Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?

pure and large Ancient taste. Beautiful. Classical and beautiful. The umami is not that strong. The sweetness is quite restrained. Dry and light. Not as dry as Go-no-Homare, but the dryness comes through slowly. It is just different from other sake. 87 points Sweetness: 2 Dryness:3.3 Acidity: 2.3 Aroma: 2.7

The taste was quite strong, making you think it was refreshing. It's been a year since I've had it, but it's been a long time since I've had yusara.

On this day, September 14, 🐯 had a thing for the first time in 18 years, so I opened a slightly better one. Purchased at the Hankyu Sake Brewer's Festival. It was the first brewery in Japan to produce a draft sake. The first brewery to produce sparkling sake in Japan. The originator of hiyaoroshi. The oldest existing brewery. I was a little nervous at the tasting because of all the great things about this brewery. The overall price was high, so I hesitated between a sparkling wine and Yamamotozakura. It made a good impression on me at the tasting. It has a complex aroma of lychee, nuts, and lemon. There are still many other aromas and it's really complex. Fruity, clean and refreshing. The aftertaste is quite dry. The alcohol is also strong. The nuttiness lingers in the aftertaste for a long time. It is a one-of-a-kind sake that I can't think of any other sake that tastes like it. It tastes better after 4-5 days than freshly opened. The aroma is also becoming more apple-like. It also has a chocolate-like nuance. Well, my vocabulary can't accurately describe the taste of this sake 💦.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

Today in Tokyo, it snowed and turned a little white. And today, February 5, is "nigori no hi (day of nigori). If so, here it is, although it is not a white nigori. It is a low-alcohol (11 degrees Celsius) pink nigori sake. The bottle was opened easily without any bumps and bruises. Pour it into a glass with a dokudoku, or sloshing. In the mouth, you feel sweetness. And some acidity. I've been drinking it every day for a while now, so the low alcohol content helps. I guess.

It was really good! I heard it's hard to find even in the prefecture.

Japanese>English

I chose this one based solely on the likability of sounding like "thank you". The brewer, the Kato family, has had "Ari" in their name for generations, so the name is "Ari-Kato. Furthermore, the Kato family is also related to Kiyomasa Kato, a warlord of the Warring States period. I had always thought of Kiyomasa as being associated with Kumamoto Castle, but this was the first time I learned that he was also associated with Yamagata and Tsuruoka. Learning history through sake. The right way to drink lol #Yu Kato #Fuji Sake Brewery #Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture #Junmai Ginjo #Limited edition sake from the brewery

Japanese>English

Mr. Masushin. A little apple aroma. Eiko Fuji no Ouzo. It has a slightly astringent taste from sweetness and cut by acidity. We enjoyed it with grilled chicken, grilled vegetables, consomme soup with mushrooms and bacon, and pickled radish and carrots. It is sweet but has a nice sharpness and acidity, It is a delicious sake that can be served with any dishes. It is a dangerous sake with a strength of more than 16 degrees Celsius, which will soon disappear.

Kansai Sake-new Year's Party (5) The label doesn't say, but there must have been a nama-shu sticker on it. More refreshing and easier to drink than the ones I've had in the past. I don't think I would buy it myself because it's pretty dry if you look at the sake level 🙄.

The last of Hankyu Brewery Festival The first one: Fukuoka Wakatakeya Debut Sake like a dark white wine with the flavor of rice. But it is easy to drink! But be careful, it has 17 degrees of alcohol! This one was taught by Haruei Chichi and Gura. It's my first time in Fukuoka with this delicious drink! Thank you very much 🙏. The second one, Tottori Inada Honten IKU'S SHIRO Sweet and sour, tastes like juice. I tasted various kinds of sake while learning from many members. It was a lot of fun!
