The eighth sake rice research bottle is Yumesansui, a trad variety from Aichi. It has a solid image, but the aroma is citrusy. Freshness of new sake, slightly effervescent and drier than sweet. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

Today is my first time drinking both of these ️️Aichi-style sake breweries 👍 First up is Ko no Tsukasa‼️. This is the one that shouldn't be chilled😅it's water😆. It's still water even if the temperature goes up😅It might be good if it's heated up, but it's too much trouble so I'm not going to do it 🤣. Next time👍

Japanese>English

The rice is Yumesansui, the same as in the previous nama sake we drank. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity. A little sweet and a little pineapple. It tastes fresh and spring-like. Delicious.

At home. This is my favorite Sei Masamune. There is no particular aroma, and it has a smooth mouthfeel with a fruity and sweet taste in the nose, followed by a little sourness, and finally a bitter taste that finishes it off nicely. Compared to the previous Seimasamune, the sweetness is more moderate.

Japanese>English

At home. Purchased at the usual liquor store. I want to drink it regularly. The owner said, "It tastes good both chilled and heated. I was looking forward to drinking it. First, we had it chilled. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of alcohol. It has the characteristic sweetness and umami of Seimasa's sake. Oh, it's so good! Now that the heat is better, I would like to try heating it up next.

Japanese>English

At home. I drank Hanamasa and Seimasamune. However, I was already very drunk by the time I had the Seishomune. Both are gorgeous and delicious sake, and they gave me a happy time.

It is a little sweeter than the first bottle, Sushasen Eiko, but The bitter taste on the back of the palate is very tight, as one would expect from Tosa sake. It has a bitter aftertaste. I enjoyed it with simmered peeled fish and boiled eggs. I enjoyed it with simmered peelings, boiled eggs, and other dishes.

It is very fruity because of the use of CEL-24. However, it is not as sweet as Kameizumi, Toyonoubai, or Kaygetsu. It is sweet and bitter. The other one I haven't tried is Bikuyo's CEL-24. I think it's a little bit sweet and bitter like Shibotan's CEL.

Japanese>English

The last of the day. Medium-bodied, it gently conveys umami. As a food sake.

Japanese>English

This is a sake that the young brewer of Kanbokuto Shuzo challenged to make Junmai Ginjo sake with Gin no Sato and No.7 yeast. It is said to be a limited edition. It has a fruity aroma, a moderate acidity, and a freshness and sweetness that is easy to drink. I often visit the Kanbokuto Sake Brewery and have this sake as my personal favorite sake, but compared to the other sake on sale, the taste is so different that you would think it is from a different brewery.

Shinshu sake today, on a night like this,,, drink: ‼️ Last spurt of Shinshu Sake Month The aroma is slightly grapey 😋 The flavor is very strong! The flavor is so strong that you can't taste much sweetness. It's also good in hot pot and teriyaki chicken, so it's excellent as a food sake👍Dry, but recently the ones for food are running out fast😅. Well, you can't beat Stubborn 😆 It's just my preference 😆. Tsuruchu 🤣.

Found by chance at Kobe Hankyu. You don't see much Kuromatsu Senjo in Kansai, do you? On a night like this.... I'd like to try it, but the liquor store that carries it is mainly one bottle, and it's a hard place to get to 🤔. It's light, sweet and sour. It's a refreshing summer sake with a grape-like sweetness. It also has a strawberry taste.

At home. Tsubu-chan chose this item for her birthday, and when she happened to find it on an expedition, she had to buy it. I got the impression that it is gradually becoming more and more popular at this sake brewery. Today, I opened the bottle. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, with sourness and sweetness in the mouth, and a noticeable sourness in the nose. The aroma on the nose also has a noticeable acidity, and the end is a bit bitter and smooth. I would like to try it after a little time.

Japanese>English

Zenkichi's here: ‼️ Zenkichi is delicious 😋 Sweet and tasty! I have a bottle, but I'm sure it will run out soon! It seems that the main members of the Mahjong club are on a trip to Hokkaido today: ‼️ I don't have any money, so I'll see you next time. I bet they are having a fever in Susukino 🤣.

Holy shit! 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Otokoyama, my first sake from Hokkaido. I found it at a nearby liquor store, Minokawa Sago. The aroma is mild, but when you drink it, it tastes like Junmai and is delicious.

This is the Ageha no Mai Junmai Sake Gin no Sato. It is a sweet and delicious sake with a mild fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.

Japanese>English

The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Japanese>English

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet. The taste is soft sweetness with a hint of umami on top. It is a beautiful tasting food sake. Everyone drank it with smiling faces. It was delicious! (^O^)

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.
