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

The mild taste makes it easy to drink. The aroma that lingers in the nose afterward is gorgeous but not habitual, so it can be enjoyed with sashimi and other ingredients without interfering with their flavors. I enjoyed it with Hachinohe mackerel pâté. It was a good combination.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. A mild mouthfeel. After a hint of sweetness, alcohol and a light bitterness come in. Goes well with salty snacks.

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.

I received this as a souvenir from a trip to Kurashiki 😆. It had a unique taste, but it became easier to drink as the day went by than the first day the bottle was opened. Personally, I enjoyed it. The brewery is located in Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter 🫶. Label: 🏷️ Low difficulty😍. It's glued on so it's easy to peel off if you soak it in hot water Where to buy it:I got it as a gift💕

It was hot... in May... in Saitama Prefecture too. There were some extremely hot days 🤣. On the last day of GW, I went to a shopping mall on the way home from a movie with my wife. I went to a shopping mall to do some shopping. We wandered around Cardi's. Sake. Ice sake?　I thought it would be good when it gets hotter. I tossed it in the back of the basket. I had it waiting in the freezer, but I didn't realize how quickly it would crisp up. It was hot, so I decided to finish it off with a dessert. Adult sherbet Naoshichi is a brand of citrus fruit from Kochi. It's good to have in the freezer from now on. ⭕️ The manufacturer is Kikusui Sake Brewery. No, it's from Kochi, so it's from here.

Low alcohol and a little sweet. low alcohol and a little sweet. and slightly sweet, it is easy to drink.

Okan's present sake series. Today I chose Kikusui. I didn't know there was a Kikusui in Tosa. I didn't know that😓I expected some sweetness since it is a junmai ginjo, but it was very dry. Sometimes it is nice to drink sake at room temperature. It's a single-batch bottle, so it's easy to open 😄.

It's been a while since I've posted. When I stopped by my hometown, there was a fall festival. Old Pine nearby was selling sake by the cup and I was sucked into the store. I was attracted by the "Hiyoroshi" (limited hiyaoroshi) and bought it! I should have bought several bottles. I liked it so much that I wished I had bought a few bottles (which I couldn't), and I sipped it after dinner and finally finished it 🍶.

Japanese>English

I'm not sure if this is the right kind of check-in 😅, but here is the check-in from my first visit to the Oldest Pine Sake Brewery 3 years ago😃There is a park near the brewery with beautiful autumn leaves 🍁The apple juice I bought at that time was delicious 😘It was a liqueur mixed with sake and almost an adult's juice 😁💦. It was almost like an adult juice 😁💦. Label: 🏷️ Low difficulty😍. Soaking in hot water makes it easier to peel off! Where to buy 🍶:Laematsu Sake Brewery Co.

Good sharpness. Good to go with fish and salt. Something fluffy and oil? Like oil.

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.

Yasube poured sake from the Sudo Honke, the oldest sake brewery in Japan. The sake was refreshing and had a rich umami flavor. It was a sake that I would like to try drinking warmed.

(˶ᐢ˶ GW Tohoku Tour Purchases (7) I bought this at Ishidoriya Roadside Station 😀. The taste is gentle on the palate😊Sourness? It's a bit sour but easy to drink 😚 It's a bit sweet but refreshing😇. Today I had Tenho, a local ramen of Nagano prefecture 😋 I had the meat fried ramen🍜 and gyoza🥟😘The light ramen and gyoza went well together🥳Next I will try the dandanmen😙.

Junmai Daiginjo that is not like Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness is moderate. It takes some time for the flavors to develop. Personally, I've always had the impression that Yamadanishiki has a sweet aftertaste, but the dryness of the flavor reminded me of the diversity of Japanese sake. And even though it's supposed to be a little out of character for my taste, it was a dish that made me drink more! As the temperature rises, the taste is distinctly sweet at first and then dry (and crisp) at the end. It broke the stereotype that Yamada Nishiki is sweet! The brewery started brewing in 1922. The name of the brand was changed from the famous water "Horime-no-Ido" to "Horinoi".
