( *´꒳` )️🍶🍶🍶🍶 本日は初めての新澤醸造店の飛龍を頂きました😀 香りはあまり感じませんね🤔口当たりは、軽快でリンゴを思わせる心地よい吟醸香😘綺麗でサラリとした甘味と旨味が、パッと広がって消える😚爽やかな酸味の切れが良き👍✨ 綺麗な食中酒の様に感じました🥳

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

(Holy shit!!!🍶🍶🍶🍶 The last day of GW in no time 😭 To close out the holiday, we opened a bottle of our local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😀 It is a recovery sake brewed by Yukawa Sake Brewery 😊WOM gave us the information and we were able to purchase it 🙏. Nice fruit-like aroma typical of Okunoto's Shirakiku😊Elegant sweetness and umami are as delicious as before 😚👍Gentle acidity spreads slowly and disappears with a clean aftertaste✨. It's still the same delicious sake that is typical of Okunoto Shirakiku 🥳.

Japanese>English

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku today 😀. The bottle was opened with a high pitched jupon💕 The aroma is mild, but the mouthfeel is clean and dry 🤔The sweetness comes out slowly and gently 😊The aftertaste is gentle and acidic 😚👍. The raw sake was a little harsh, but it has matured and become mellow😇Shirakiku is still a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

(((((*´sigh*))))🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got some local Ishikawa white chrysanthemum 😀. We traveled by car to Yamagata and Akita prefectures for the holiday weekend. I just came home and was going to drink the sake I bought, but I had to take a break with the local sake 😙. The aroma is mild 😚 and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the banana and the rice flavor 😘 the gusto and the delicious acidity swells up in your mouth and disappears quickly 🥰. Shirakiku from Okunoto with concentrated umami There is also a delicious local sake 💕

I thought I had had a rice from Kagawa prefecture called ◯Ide Rice, so I asked for it (or maybe it was just my imagination). I drank it after Mutsu Hachisen, so it lacked fruity flavor, but it tasted delicious when heated.

Japanese>English

Ayaka-gun, Kagawa Prefecture. Yushin Brewery Co. Yushin Namaishu Junmai Ginjo No. 9 Yeast We are back to drinking at home. Purchased on a trip during Obon. I jumped on a label I'd never seen before and neglected to check the date, and found out that it was February 💦. I drank it cold. Not much Uitatekoso, but there is a slight graininess, with a hint of alkaloa. No mature-like aroma. The mouthfeel flows smoothly on the tongue, and the taste is full and full of rice flavor with a sense of maturity. The aroma that passes through the nose is a little matured, so it has matured a bit. But it just has an autumn-aged look to it 🤣. As the label on the back of the bottle says it is slightly dry, there is a bit of spiciness at the end, but I don't mind it too much because the umami is very strong. The high alcohol content makes it easy to drink, but it comes back with a thud later. I would like to try a freshly brewed sake once. Ingredients: rice, rice malt Ingredient Rice:100% Yamadanishiki (produced in Zaita-machi, Kagawa Prefecture) Yeast used: No.9 yeast Rice polishing ratio:55 Alcohol content: 17.5 Sweetness/spiciness: Slightly dry

I was curious why it says sweet on purpose😅. It's not like the popular fluffy fluty It's a solid sweet sake 👘. So, you know... It was great with light red bean paste sweets, cheese, teriyaki, etc 🎵. Recommended to drink at room temperature or lukewarm, but it was also possible to drink it a little chilled 👍✨.

Japanese>English

5/10 Canned sake from Shotoku Shuzo. Kyoto has an image of an increasing number of these. Kyo-no-kiraki is Kyoto's original sake brewing rice and is used only in Kyoto. The taste is quite dry. The aroma is also subdued, which is probably due to the fact that it is hard to sense in the can. It has a sharp taste, so it is a good sake to accompany sake snacks.

Japanese>English

We moved to a new location, at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in the Kyoto Station Building. It was delicious with a hint of sweetness and tenderness that accompanied the sushi. 🙆‍♂️ Sushi and sake are a great combination!

I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir. I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna. I thought it was probably a local luxury sake. It was a very tasty and elegant sake.

Japanese>English

A junmai sake with a wonderful balance of rice sweetness and acidity that spreads mellowly on the palate. The calm aftertaste is irresistible. Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15

2024.09.22 Hakkouda Oroshi Hana-buki 55 I bought this while buying Hachisen in Aomori. It's a little sweet, but the aftertaste might not be enough, It's like a boyfriend who is very sweet to you but doesn't call you on the phone. @Home

It arrived just a few minutes ago. This morning, the sake was pressed early in the morning. It seems I forgot to buy it last year, but this year I reserved it and bought it. I couldn't stand it, so I had a cup in my inoguchi. I love Tomikunishiki, but this year's Risshun morning pressing has a little acidity, a clean throat, and not much of an aftertaste. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

I went to the Tomikunishiki New Sake Festival yesterday and today. I bought a bottle of Shiboritate and sake lees this year too. I opened the bottle right away. This year's Shiboritate seems to be more fruity than usual. It's delicious. I love Tomihunishiki after all❤️.

Japanese>English

It's that time of year again ♪ We were able to get enough plums for two bottles, so we have two this year. One of them, actually I couldn't pickle plums last year because of the bad harvest, so I left it, but I hope it's okay. Basic shape and refreshing. I'm looking forward to winter ☺️.

Gorgeous fruity aroma, smooth on the palate. The fact that it is polished to 30% Omachi is also excellent. It is an elegant sake. Serve with turban shells

2022/06/17 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet apple-like aroma. Fine and rich sweetness like pure honey. The acidity is moderate and full-bodied. It has a very slight bitterness and a long aftertaste. A perfect sake when you want to be healed by sweetness.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

Solid closing brew.

Yamada Nishiki. After a long time. The sweetness and umami are in the right place. In the middle, the umami expands and becomes a little fresh.
