(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today is Tateyama Cup. It's stable and delicious. I never get tired of drinking it.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have a drink with you. A drink at Tateyama after a long absence today. It's stable and delicious.

Japanese>English

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.

Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 The aroma is mild. When you drink it, you will feel a little fern and then clear🙆 It is delicious and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

This is my first time to drink sake from this brewery. It's good.

Japanese>English

It is brewed with 90% polished Yamada-Nishiki from Akita Prefecture and low rice polishing 🍶 It is clear and has a Jungin class finish without any tang. The aroma is fruity with hints of muscat, and the balance of sweetness, spiciness, and crispness is good.

Its fresh aroma and refreshing sharpness make it a delicious and summery sake. Accompanied by homemade croquettes

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.

At home. The final chapter of the Hokkaido series. The aroma is gorgeous and you can feel a little bit of alcohol, but it is very easy to drink and you can go on drinking. It is a versatile sake that goes well with any meal.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

A once-a-year good luck charm. The subtle fruit aroma and sweetness It's the kind of beer that can only be pressed in the morning. The alcohol content is 17 to 18 degrees. The alcohol content is 17 to 18 degrees, giving it a powerful taste. You can enjoy it with meat dishes.

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.

It's so dark! The sense of maturity and acidity is unbearable. At first, I felt it was sour, but as I got used to drinking it, it converted to the original flavor and sweetness of rice. I found that it was converted into the original flavor and sweetness of the rice. I don't know if I will be able to encounter this sake again since it seems to be a small production brewery, but it is a pleasant and intoxicating sake. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought this sake because it looked so good, but it was too much supa 😖 I think I would like it if it wasn't too supa 🤔.

It had a gentle taste and was beautifully light 😚 It had a mild sweetness and acidity before ending with a gentle bitterness 😚....

My first unsouled ministry️. The name is cool! As it says "Dry Junmai", it's very dry 😆. If you drink it with oily food, you can enjoy it.

It has the flavor of rice and a robust sake taste. It leaves a slight aftertaste, so I wonder if it is suitable as a food sake. This time I tried it with a nabe dish.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

Japanese>English

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Japanese>English

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

Delicious. Did I drink too much?

Japanese>English

🚢. The nice thing about tastings is that you can drink things that you might not think to buy in a four-pack. I don't often drink super dry, so I'll take this one since I'm in the mood for it. Since I've been drinking sweet sake so far, the dry sake makes me feel "kyuu" in my hungry stomach that hasn't had lunch😅. I wonder if it goes well with sashimi?
