bonus🍶 Delicious Hamachidori with Sashimi We had it with 🥒🧂, spinach and enokitake mushrooms because we were full 😋. As expected in the season of year-end parties: ‼️ The stores were so crowded and the ones I knew were temporarily closed everywhere, so I walked around🐈⸒⸒⸒⸒🐾🐾 Tired of walking around, we took a break at a restaurant we passed by. Although there were not many kinds of Sake, they arranged some Tsumami for us even if they were not on the menu. Sweet and spicy fried cockerel 🐔. The kotteri taste makes Hamachidori even spicier ( °◊° )ho

It's been a long time since I've drunk a bottle of Raizen ❗️. The aroma is subdued for a Daiginjo🤔. The taste is generally dark and robust😊. I can feel the sweetness and flavor of the rice but I can also feel the alcohol as well😅. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing.

Japanese>English

Outside drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Special A District, Hyogo Prefecture The color is clear. There is little fragrance. On the palate, it has a slightly alty feel. Slight sweetness that is quickly drowned out by a banana🍌 flavor. Banana🍌 flavor. Rice🌾 sweetness and umami. The mouthfeel is clean. The sweetness and umami of rice with a low alcohol content. Sake that seems to go well with a variety of foods 🍶.

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)

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.

Japanese>English

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😇

For my first Hiroshima sake in a while, I chose a new Seikagami sake, my first try 😀 . I knew the name, but it was my first time drinking it, so I was excited to open the bottle🍾 I've never tried it before, so I was very excited to try it! It's a mildly dry wine with a hint of sweetness, easy to pair with food, and I love it👍. I'm not sure what to make of this. I love it!

Japanese>English

Sour... a unique aroma... It has a bitter-sweet taste. Aromatic and dry? Because it is freshly squeezed. It has a fresh feeling. The aftertaste is interesting... It's not a popular sake right now, but it's a good choice for a food drink. I don't hate it. I never get tired of it. It's delicious...

Tokyo's local sake. Trial 300ml bottle. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter. Fresh, light, and refreshing? It is easy to drink without any habits. It's quite tasty...I guess it's like a light and delicious sake...I didn't know there was such a Junmai-shu in Tokyo...

Japanese>English

Rice used: Akebono from Okayama Prefecture, Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture, Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture This is a new product from a local liquor store. I thought it was a Toyama sake, but it turned out to be an Edo sake. The acidity is strong, and there is a refreshing summery flavor. The bitter and spicy aftertaste is also good. The overall balance is not bad. Sake from Tokyo is not to be underestimated ❗️

(*^￢^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 When I stopped by a liquor store in Fukui Prefecture, I encountered a Bonon I had never seen before, and was attracted by the unusual shape of the bottle and bought it😙. It's not gorgeous, but it's a delicious sake with a royal umami taste 😇 and you can really feel the flavor of the rice 😀.

Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake 🍶Hiroshima Zouga Linear Heart White Rice A little tight in the glass, but soft in the mouth. It is a subtle combination of grassy and fruity. Mild when drunk from a flat cup (or plate). I had it with striped horse mackerel simmered roughly 😋. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20220812

A 1-goupe bottle that I had gotten at Yamada-san, a sake dealer in Ikebukuro Seibu. I check the small refrigerator near the cash register, which is mainly small bottles, every time I go there. It is Kamerei Mannen from Hiroshima🐢. The classical texture gives it a ginjo-shu feel.

Salted bonito tataki🐟 is washed down with a smooth, refreshing finish. Fried Kibinago (dried yellowfin tuna) is also smoothly poured. First time having bonito tataki with salt, but it was very tasty 😋. Bonito Bokchiri @ Kochi Hirome Market 20240516

Very sharp and dry, goes well with meals! I want to eat it with bonito tataki.

I had always wanted to come to this restaurant, Jyu. It was a nice place. The sake I chose was Dokure, which is labeled as an amazing sake from Kure. At first sip, I felt a slight sourness, but when paired with food, it was very good. As one would expect from a master brewer, he made the sake he wanted to make himself. It is a sake that goes very well with food.

It was sold in a bottle at a supermarket. 10 kinds were available, and I bought 3 bottles for 880 yen. I think it was 880 yen. I'm not sure if it's the same or not. I like Eikoh because it is easy to drink ☺️.

It's direct sake ⚡️. It's deep in the middle of sweet and spicy 😽💕. It's so thick, it's classified as a mellow sake! I feel like I'm drowning in Eikun's swamp😅.
