Yamatsuru is the closest sake brewery to my house, but I haven't had much of it lately. The last time I drank it I got the impression that it was peculiar and not really my cup of tea, but not this Junmai Daiginjo! Clear and fruity, good balance of flavors. It's also gorgeous😋. The price is reasonable for a Junmai Daiginjo, but I think it's worth it🧐 I can't underestimate local sake 😚

Japanese>English

Low-polished Junmai-shu from Yamatsuru, a local sake brewery in Ikoma, Nara. The name is Choyao. It was a gift, but it looks like it will cost a fortune💧. I heard it was brewed using a method described in a wooden letter from the Nara period. I wonder if it is true. Anyway, let's try it. Wow! It is indeed as rich and sweet as I had heard! The sake level is a whopping -40❗️ But the aftertaste is refreshing. Surprisingly easy to drink and delicious 😋. It's pretty good 👍I'll have to try this one too 😙. But I wonder if people in the Nara period really enjoyed this kind of sake 🤔.

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

Japanese>English

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.

4 points - so-so? More acidity than Junmai Namaishu?

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

It can also be matured and enjoyed as such.

This sake was officially released on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. It is brewed using 100% Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Niigata Prefecture. The aroma, taste, and label design are as stylish as wine.

Oniyasha Centrifuged Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake. It is a delicious sake with a creamy mouthfeel and a bitter taste that comes after the umami and goes down the throat. I think it's a slightly dry nigorizake. It's delicious 😋The label has a picture of the top and bottom. The direction of the label is reversed from the normal Oniyasha label.

Shirasasadzumi (photo right) drunk at Odawara Kamaboko Dori Vitalization Council [Autumn Sake Ajiwai Tour - Junmai Sake from all 13 breweries]. Details of the sake are unknown. This store is the birthplace of kamaboko, and the owner (?) is a senior employee of the store. The owner's senior brews Shiro Sasadzumi. The fish paste is excellent. The yellowtail hamburger steak with yuzu flavor is more than fish paste.

Fukui Sake 🍶. While waiting for the Thunderbird on a business trip to Fukui, I went to a bar and compared three different kinds of sake. I had three kinds of sake selected on my own. All were delicious and it was hard to choose one over the other, but the Manazuru sake was my favorite! I wish I could have had more!

Japanese>English

Purchased at the antenna store in KITE Sweet but translucent and transparent, with a hint of sweetness. Apple-like. It was different from the sweetness I was expecting, but I guess that's okay. When the temperature goes up, the sweetness like green apple comes out. It's like a cider without gas. It tastes good if you drink it over and over again, but the first time you drink it, you'll be like, "What? It's like a cider without the gas.
