I was able to get some free time during the day, so I went to the gym and worked out for an hour, then went straight to the bathhouse and had a nice, wide bathtub, and then had a long-overdue dinner. I started with a beer and then opened a bottle of "Hanagaki Ginjo" that my father-in-law gave me for New Year's. After the refreshing sweetness that is typical of Hanagaki, the umami flavor spreads out, leading directly to the rich aftertaste. It is relatively sweeter than most of Fukui's local sake, but it has no peculiarities and is easy to drink 😉. I'll have to consume it little by little since my cellar is overloaded with more sake from the New Year's holiday including this one 😁.

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at Nanbu Shuzo Sake Brewery. You can drink it like Calpis soda. It is Calpis for adults.

The one I bought after tasting it at Ikushima Shoten. Slightly effervescent. Melon-like aroma and taste. Bitter and spicy in the latter half. When I tasted it, it tasted sweeter, so I wonder if it will taste sweeter after a while. When I drank it again, it didn't feel spicy on the first day, but sweet and spicy. After a few days, it tastes like cemedine.

180ml Nishinoseki bought at my usual liquor store. My first Oita! I thought it would be sweet, but the aftertaste is a bit spicy. But it's delicious. It tastes like I'm drinking it.

We stock sake from Kyushu, which we don't have much of locally. The first one is Nishinoseki. The aroma and taste are quite hard. The first punch worked on my hungry body. It made me hot from the back of my throat to my stomach.

Welcome off-line meeting for Jay & Nobby (5) It has been almost an hour since the start of the party, and we have about 30 minutes until the last order of drinks. The fifth sake in the lineup was this one, which boasts the lowest sake level of -14. Nishinoseki Nigori Sake. Aroma of rice and malted rice, sweetness reminiscent of amazake, and bitterness after a sharp taste. The pour is smooth and easy to drink 😁.

Purchased at Maya I've had Aizu Ryugasawa before, but this is my first Eikawa. The initial aroma is pear-like. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness like green apple. Not too sweet and dry, like a cider.

I'll upload more and more of my accumulated sake 😅 I've never had this sake from Eikawa before: ❗️ It's a 13% light one: ❗️ Not much aroma 🤔. It's easy to drink with a gentle sweetness ‼️ I could drink this sake with ease😊.

There is sake in Tohoku. The owner of Aji Sodara Okachimachi in Izu, whose parents are from Fukushima, also has sake from Fukushima. The quality of Fukushima sake goes without saying. From the sweet aroma, the taste is less sweet and full-bodied.

7 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : rice (domestic rice), rice malt, brewing alcohol Sake meter : ±0 Alcohol percentage : 15 Acidity : 1.2 Rice polishing ratio: 65 Amino acidity: 1.6 Yeast: Kumamoto yeast (Kyokai No. 9) Store Hakata Motsu Nabe YAMAYA Sapporo Ekimae Dori Store Slightly apple-like aroma on the top. The same mild aroma as the first sip, the firm umami of rice spreads gradually with a plump sweetness and fine acidity, and is quickly quenched by the spiciness of the alcohol and a moderate bitterness. While the umami of the rice is firm, the dryness of the alcohol in the latter half makes it easy to drink. This sake has a somewhat classical impression. It is better to drink it with a meal than on its own. It goes well with motsu nabe and cod roe dishes.

I bought it in Kumamoto during my Shikoku - Kyushu - Kinki trip last year. It was a brand I wanted to try at least once, and I was so happy that I let it sit for more than a year. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it smelled like honey and custard. The mouthfeel is moist and sweet. It has a savory, caramel-like flavor and a balance of sweet and sour astringency. It is so delicious that you can't help but smile! The full-bodied sweetness and bitter astringency in the aftertaste. The taste is not too strong, but has a high level of quality, and is very similar to a pudding! I will never forget the delicious sake, ramen and Kumamoto Castle, even if it was only for a short time. I hope to visit again someday👍.

This sake is sold by a united effort of breweries in Ishikawa Prefecture. The sake store I visited had two varieties, Kochira and Tedorigawa. Hoping for the recovery😌. It is a medium, slightly sweet delicious sake with a smooth texture. Microbubbles at the bottom of the glass. The mild aroma reminds me of green apple and the fresh sweet and sour taste is impressive and refreshing. Very tasty.

(˶ᐢωᐢ˶)🍶🍶🍶+ Today was the first time I had the local sake Lion's Village 😀 I had never seen a sake brewery in Ishikawa using Sake Mirai so I bought it 😊. The aroma is a fresh type of ginjo aroma 😚 The mouthfeel is soft and fruity with a soft, fizzy and fruity aroma. The sweetness and umami are moderate and cut by a refreshing acidity 🤔This was delicious 😋.

At Isego Honten. I saw the arrival guide of the store. I drank it last year and it was delicious, so I repeated it. Ise-Go Honten special order sake. The chameleon label attracts attention👍. It's a little dry this year. said the shopkeeper😊. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure you'll like it. I'm sure you'll like it. I'm not sure what to make of it. But I like the taste😋. It's similar to Abe Shuzo's Black Abe!

It has a powerful taste reminiscent of Awamori, with a The aftertaste is somewhat refreshing. It is perfect when served with raftage. It is also good with Chinese food. Aiming to conquer the whole country I had bought it at an antenna store and found it to be a little twisted. It was a little twisted, so I ordered it from the brewery. I ordered this time from the brewery.

In an effort to conquer the whole country, the I bought it at an antenna store. It had a strong punch and a peculiar quirk. When paired with Chinese food as if it were Shaoxing wine It was a curious match. I'm not sure if it's because of the storage conditions at the antenna store. I felt it was a little twisted. I would like to purchase online from the brewery again.

For the fifth cup, I went for "Reimei"! It's a delicious taste with a stronger sweetness than the last time I drank it and a stronger awamori feel than ever before! I've had it a few times and it was probably the best ✨.

Today is a holiday. But I went to work. On the way home, I found a four-character phrase I wanted to try, Nagasaki Prefecture's...four-character phrase? I found a four-letter phrase, "sixty-you-you-shu" in Nagasaki Prefecture, which I had wanted to try! Is the Kanto region the same as Nagasaki Prefecture? (I don't know what the weather is like there.) I decided to drink it right away. It's a heavy fruity wine. Is it the fruity rice flavor? And even though it is a draft sake, it doesn't have a sharp taste, but rather a calm taste. I like this kind of taste. Nagasaki Prefecture has a lot of sake that I like!

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇
