The sake rice is rice rice Sasanishiki. It was recommended to me by the owner of the sake shop I usually go to. It is tangy and spicy at first, and then a mildly sweet taste spreads in the mouth. It was delicious. 1,650 yen.

Friday Single Cup. Shiraki Kugin Sushi Rice, lychee start with banana liqueur sweetness, fine carbonated bubbles, smooth acidity in the mouth first, rice flavor sweetness to support the middle, apple core sweet and bitter clean finish.

Since I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake. The aroma is faintly muscat-like. The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle. The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense! The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.

Sanko Tenpyo Yamahai Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Omachi Prefecture: Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture 100% Ginotome rice produced in Yakin, Iwate Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 65 Sake degree: -1 Alcohol content: 18%. @Local Sake and Japanese Chinese cuisine Oishi Kiyoshi (Hyogo Prefecture)

Japanese>English

Okayama Prefecture. Niimi City. Sanko Masamune Co. Sanko Tenpyo Yamahai Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Omachi Michihiro Yamauchi's sake was also hard to get my hands on because of the gutsy, robust image of his sake, following in the footsteps of Katsumasa Takagaki, the toji of the company. We had it cold. The color is a little yellowish. The aroma is sweet, with a lactic acid-like fermentation aroma of Yamahai. The mouthfeel is smooth, smooth, and heavy. The taste is mild at first, but then the juicy lactic acid acidity is strongly felt, with a burnt caramel-like flavor and a heavy grain-like flavor. The aroma on the nose is softly apricot. The flavor is carried through to the aftertaste, and the end result is a very strong and strong alcohol taste. It seems to be good warmed up, so it's time for a visit to Nonbei Yokocho. It was warmed up to human body temperature or lukewarm at first, with a very mild and mellow acidity. The chocolatey taste was gradually revealed, and the umami was mellow and easy to drink without too much alchohol. The mild sourness of the sake warmed up, it became dry and crispy on the tongue. I really like it warmed to human skin or lukewarm. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 18%.

I started to drink and took out my phone to see how I felt about it, but I didn't take a picture of it 💦That's a bummer! I'm glad I didn't take them all at once💦. It's the holiday season, so I got this cup of sake 😚🍶😚🍶♪ Kapan⭐︎ and open it up, yeah, it smells great☺️💕! It's very smooth on the palate, and then suddenly it comes with a cue. Like it disappears smoothly and goes back to flat? 🤔 Don't drink too much! I'm sure I'll drink too much just like it says on the cup. Thanks for the treat 😋💕

Japanese>English

Cup with an illustration of "Alkuma," Nagano Prefecture's mascot character. With a thankful message of "Don't drink too much!" with a nice message of "Don't drink too much! The taste was fruity, but the sake was also very assertive ✨.

Souvenir after inspection in Iida City😁. Clean and refreshing taste 😍 Clean aftertaste and lingering taste ✨. You could buy it at supermarkets and convenience stores ❗️

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.

A very limited edition from the Kigawaya Jizake Hanpukai. Made from 100% "Yuki-no-Mikami" (Snow Goddess) produced in Yamagata Prefecture. Slightly thickened, yet smooth on the tongue. It has a refreshing taste. The first sip felt very bitter, but from the second sip, it didn't bother me. It is working hard to make it crisp and clear.

Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

At a tasting at a local liquor store. It was quite fruity, but felt light and insufficient for an unfiltered sake.

Japanese>English

On the Shinkansen, we open another bottle of Nara Sake, Kisenju✨. The palate is sweet and sour and yogurt-like. It is light and pleasantly schwishy. It is easy to drink even in a tipsy state! It is also gorgeous and strawberry-like, so it feels like strawberry yogurt. And the last one is Yamazaki 12 years old from sake. We ended our trip with a glass of Shinkansen Gokukkatai ice cream 😌. There are still many places I want to visit, so I will visit Kansai again if I have a chance...!

After a long time. The flavor and spiciness from the attack is substantial to the end.

Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Japanese>English

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

It has the perfect ratio of deliciousness and dryness. I didn't drink the Junmai Ginjo because I posted about it before, but this is also a great sake!

Sake brought back from our trip to Niigata Sake recommended by the lady who was selling it. Very gassy 💨 Sake with a strong moromi Dry and crisp 💪. It's a nigori sake, but you can drink it with gusto as a food sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

For my fourth cup, I decided on the "Koshihikari" which caught my attention! The palate is clean and refreshing, but as you taste it, it mellows out a bit with a banana feel. The acidity tightens it up so that it does not interfere with the taste, so it is well-balanced and easy to drink👍.

Japanese>English

This is peculiar. I think I'm going to get bad drunk 🤮.
