It is a punchy sake with a strong rice flavor, sweetness, and alcohol. It seems to go well with any dishes.

It's an Ibaraki sake bar, but they also sell a lot of small bottles 😆. So I bought a small bottle as a souvenir 🤣. I wanted to drink hot sake, so I chose this one that looks good for hot sake. This is Tsuki no I of Oarai ❗️ Yumbe Yokocho is the best place to drink, just stick the bottle in ❤️. I'll have it at 50°C 😋😋. Nice caramel color. And the aged aroma that smells powwow. It has a gentle, light, sweet mouthfeel and a moderate acidity. It has a gentle, light, sweet mouthfeel with just the right amount of acidity and a nice, sweet taste. I paired it with shime saba (mackerel) and it's great ☺️. The vinegariness that is unique to shime saba is refreshingly clean, yet the sweetness and umami of the sake is still there 😋. I thought it would be a bit more dry, but it wasn't as dry as I thought it would be 😉. Ibaraki sake review rate is going up because of the Ibaraki sake bar 😂.

Junmai 🍶. This one is also warmed up 🍶 slightly bitter and light for its age ✨. Delicious when savored carefully. A little creamy and bitter with Hoya (Japanese sea squirt) marinated in miso. Dry. The texture is like a scallop without the smell. Sake and Robata Yaki Unari @ Omiya 20231122

The rice is firm and delicious. It is dry and sharp. The taste is unique to the tankard's direct pumping. It has a high alcohol content of 17-18 degrees. It is made of "Gohyakumangoku" from Toyama with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉗ Since there was only a short time left, we decided to choose one sake from each brewery separately to share! Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree -1, Alcohol 18%. It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.

Japanese>English

I went to a sake brewery and bought it because I was attracted by the label. It has a refreshing taste with a sour aftertaste. 1,628 yen.

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.

During a business trip to Sapporo, all-you-can-drink nigori sake was served at a gathering of related parties. It was not too sweet, soft, full-bodied, and very tasty. I couldn't help but drink too much.

Lingering Dry Umami Silky Astringent Sharp Light Sweetness

I stopped by the brewery for the first time in a while. I used to have a special fire-brewed junmai and a sake called "Mariko no shu" which is named after the female toji (master brewer?). Both were quite dry, classical sake. Both were quite dry classical sake, and I had the impression, for better or worse, that this is what local sake is supposed to be like. This was probably my first nigori sake, but it looked delicious, so I bought some! I wondered if the beautiful woman at the sales counter was Mariko herself? It has a classical aroma with a banana feel. It is more of a hint than a standing aroma. It has a classical taste and is dry, but you can drink it by itself if you want! It is very easy to drink because it has a lot of turbidity, which gives it a strong umami flavor and makes it easy to taste the sweetness. I drank it with kimchi nabe (kimchi stew), and I think it goes well with strong flavors and nabe dishes! It also seems to go well with meat, and I am sure it would go well with ginger-grilled pork or chicken steak. I imagine it is like Kikuhime nigori or Tamagawa nigori! To be honest, I think it's one of the best in the Koshu Plum Grove, so I'd be happy to buy a bottle and drink it slowly. It can probably be stored at room temperature until early spring.

Japanese>English

I had decided on Mariko's Sake for my first visit to Saitama. The Sato Sake Brewery is run by Mariko Sato, the toji of the brewery. There is almost no alcohol taste, and the spiciness comes later with more umami. It is sweet and umami, but the spiciness lingers a little.

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

I bought it at a product show the other day. I had never heard of this brand, but I tasted it and liked it. It was 19 degrees, so I drank it lightly on the rocks. I paired it with stewed daikon radish and shellfish sashimi as the cold weather deepened. It was moderately dry and went well with sashimi.

The liquor store in Kuise went out of business and we couldn't buy 100 rice bales, so we went to Furuki Sake-ten near Panasta. The store was also promoting Gamba ⚽ The brands they carry are Kiyotsuru, Katano Sakura, Yamazaru, Sanzen, Daikoku Masamune, Yone Hyakutawara, Yosamusume, etc. Yosamusume is a new brand! It's not an easy place to get to because it's far from the station and up a steep hill 💦. According to the official SNS, it is unfiltered and the rice is Takananishiki. It has a mild sweetness and acidity with a dry astringency in the latter half. The sweetness and sourness are both fluffy and cute 😽. Overall, it is refreshing, but there is also a strong alcohol taste. Personally, I would like to see more sweetness and umami, but it was sweeter than I expected 🤔.

Sake meter value +8. Very robust and dry, but The ginjo aroma makes it elegant and cohesive. It can be enjoyed on its own or It is also perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.

Japanese>English

The first sip is unexpected. The taste is clean and refreshing. But when you take your time to taste it, you will realize that it is the Etsukaijin's strong and complex flavor that sells it. Etsukaijin is known for its powerful and complex flavors. You can taste the robust umami.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Etsukaijin. As the label clearly states. Sake degree +10 degrees, alcohol level is around 18 degrees. It has a thick and rich taste. It is well-balanced with a touch of sharpness. It is a brand that I would like to follow for a while. In order to conquer the whole country This is one of the bottles that I chose while hesitating in Kagawa prefecture which was empty. If I hadn't been working at Sake no Wa I'm sure I would never have drunk it. I really appreciate it.

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!
