Procured on a business trip. The aroma is a very fresh and unpasteurized sake. The mouthfeel is fruity and slightly sweet and light, with a classical drinking experience. The sharpness is thin and the sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I like this lingering taste. ☆☆☆☆

Purchased at an antenna store in Iwate. Drank at room temperature, it was refreshing and had just the right amount of umami flavor, making it a great match for a mid-meal drink.

Tonight, I'm dropping my second bottle of the first series as well🤗. This is Yaemon from the Yamatogawa Sake Brewery out of Kitakata, Fukushima ✨. The nose is clean, fruity and citrusy. The first sip has a clean, fruity, citrusy aroma with a hint of green banana sweetness and a dry, crisp finish. It is perfectly suited for a mealtime sake. The rice is undisclosed, but I imagine it to be Gohyakumangoku or Yumenokou, and I like the taste.

[Mutsubu Nigori Sake This is the first bottle I bought at the Fukushima Museum in Nihonbashi. I'm not sure what to make of it. The aroma is like strawberry 🍓. This is the first time I've ever had this kind of beer. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing. I don't think it would go well with sashimi... It's a good marriage with rich, sweet and spicy chicken liver 😋I'm sure it would go well with pumpkin stew as well.

I bought it at a sake shop in Kintetsu Department Store. I can't read "mother-of-pearl" 🤣I heard it is read as "Uzume", but if you type "den" for mother-of-pearl in your phone, it will come up 😁. If I lived a normal life, I would never use this kanji 😅. I got the impression it's a pineapple with a bit of bitterness 🍍. It was sweeter when I tasted it, so maybe it's sweeter after some time, but it's 500ml and I can't wait that long 🤣. Maybe the aroma is a bit peculiar.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store's Sake Tour. The label is a sheep kept at the brewery. It has a slight sweetness, and is full, rich, and powerful. It has a strong richness. It might be good if it is laid down. There are graininess and nutty nuances. I guess it's normal for a good price. I didn't buy Yamahai because I didn't want the similar taste to continue, but Yamahai might have been better... It's the third day, but I think it's getting sweeter and tastier than the first day.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Mie Prefecture Aged for 4 years, pale amber in color. Smoky and graininess with the color as it is. The sweetness is elegant, and the spiciness in the aftertaste has an impact on the throat and nose. It is a little peculiar, but I personally like it! I don't know what the original flavor was, but it has a nice aged feel. ❣️

#Drinking at home The spiciness, sweet umami, and moderate acidity come quickly, and while enjoying the aftertaste, the bitterness comes unexpectedly. It is similar to the first sake released from the brewery, but I think this one has a clearer outline. I think Doukan is stable in its line of slightly sweet umakuchi at first and finishes with bitterness. Like Okura and Tamagawa, if the direction of the flavor is consistent, we can drink it with peace of mind. Anyway, Shiga sake is generally very tasty.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

I've been making my way to restaurants with good service lately. Today they served me a fresh aged sake. Today is February 6. This is my first Kinkame. My first impression was that it was very good! Next, it has a strong umakuchi taste. The acidity at the end is good, just like Yamadataro. It is like a light kijoshu, and it is delicious. Shiga is nice.

Japanese>English

This one has a milling ratio of 80. Full of sweetness! It spreads slowly in the mouth.

Japanese>English

In Sakewa, there are two separate brands, Kinkame and Kinkame, which is the correct one to register? Kinkame's "Drink this" is 70% polished. It has umami, richness, and a moderately classic feel. This is also a delicious sake.

I bought this sake because it was recommended by the proprietress of the liquor store. It has a mellow aroma and taste reminiscent of melon, and is a high quality sake that is not cloying and does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Izakaya Shinkansen Modoki from Shin-Yamaguchi (1) I was a little anxious and prepared for today, thinking that it might be a bit of a climax of my work in Yamaguchi, but it turned out to be an unexpected turn of events 😱. But somehow things turned out for the better and the result exceeded my expectations 🎉. I guess I'm lucky or blessed 🥰. I finished work a little early and went to the liquor store in Yuda Onsen to prepare for the Shinkansen. I got some for drinking at home and some for the Shinkansen! I also got some snacks at the Co-op, which I found for the first time! Abunotsuru 300ml found at a liquor store in Yuda Onsen A little sharp, but a solid taste! I guess it's a dry type. It leaves a lingering taste on the tongue. This kind of thing might be better if it were a little colder, it was cold when I bought it, but it warmed up a little 😂. Apart from the coop, I got a curry bun at the station that I've been curious about for a while, is it good even if it's cold? I asked the guy at the store if it was good cold, and he let me warm it up in the toaster. （I asked the guy if it was cold and he let me heat it up in the toaster 🤩.
