January 9th New Year's party at Kakiya with 15 local guys🎊. 1) Tongjun 2) Kameman The review will be summarized in 2.

Japanese>English

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

Japanese>English

Moving on to Ganko Sushi at Eki Marche in Umeda. Sake from a sake brewery near Tsujunkyo Bridge, a sightseeing spot in Kumamoto. This sake has a moderate flavor of rice. It went well with the sushi! It was delicious. 🙆‍♂️

Rice used is unknown Since this brewery does not have a sake brewing license, it is said that the brewery goes to Nagano Meisho to make sake. There is a pattern of having sake brewed on consignment, but this method is unusual. I imagined it would be a good old-fashioned sake from the label, but it was light and very easy to drink ❗️. It has just a hint of sweetness and is very refreshing with little alcohol. It was a seriously good sake❣️

Japanese>English

Brewed by Wadaryu Shuzo in Ueda, Nagano Wada Ryu Junmai Freshly Pressed Unpasteurized Sake This sake is badass 😂. I heard it was freshly made, Fresh and juicy. Rough and gassy, the gasiness alternately stimulates the upper and lower jaw alternately stimulating the upper and lower jaw ⚡⚡⚡. This is also exciting and awesome 😆. I found a great sake 😆.

Japanese>English

Wada Ryu Junmai Shiboritate Nama-nama Sake Rated 4.5 Alcohol 16%, Rice polishing ratio 70%, Production date: November 2025, Shipping date: December 2025 This sake is freshly pressed junmai sake and bottled without any modification. It has a fresh and elegant aroma, and a clear and crisp taste with a harmony of sweetness and umami! Fresh, new sake with a mellow taste. The aroma is subdued. The convergence is dry and refreshing as a mealtime sake.

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 ☺️.

Japanese>English

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😅.

開栓直後はやや甘口で旨味が強い。美味しいけど沢山は飲めないかと思ったけど、あけてから何日か置いてみると、淡麗で凄く飲みやすくなり、凄く美味しかった。折角の生原酒なので、邪道な飲み方ですが(笑)

A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

Japanese>English

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.

Buy at the warehouse 1411 yen / 720ml The brewery is located in Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture, familiar from the morning drama "Amachan". I was in a hurry and made the painful mistake of forgetting to take a picture of the brewery. Please forgive me with a monument of "Jeez, Jeez" instead. I thought it tasted fresh when I opened the bottle, but it was an aged type with a little bit of a habit. I drank it chilled the first day, so I tried it hot on the second day, and it transformed into a mellow taste and was easy to drink.

Japanese>English

I received a drinking set from a colleague. When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind, But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone. It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

Japanese>English

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".

Tasted chilled. Mushrooms and umami on the nose. Flavor is smooth and mild. Umami continues with mild melon. Texture is very soft and finish is clean. A very nice drink.

It is high in cosmetics. Light and refreshing, but also soft and sweet, it is a swishy drink.

Japanese>English

I had to drink this one in a rush so we could check out of our hotel and continue our trip. The sake was sweet and sour with hints of melon. Thank you Kyoto for a wonderful time!

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

Japanese>English

Post 1) for skipping it. The grain of the rice was amazing! It's like it's for people who can enjoy the lingering gruel and miscellaneous flavors underneath. Be careful opening the bottle. This was a fun sake 🍶. A rare intoxicating sake for me personally .

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️
