Always at the store Shintaro, when the master opened the shpon and opened it vigorously. It is not a ginjo, but it has a fruity and it is delicious. It was a good taste 😆. The accompaniment was homemade smoked salmon.

Japanese>English

The 11th bottle of 2025 home brew 🍶. I received a bottle of Shintaro from Kochi Prefecture! The label is austere 😏I got it from the hanpukai and it was a good encounter because this is a brand I don't often buy myself 🍶I would give it to someone if I had a "Shintaro" around me 🙆‍♂️ It tasted and crisp and delicious! Thank you for the food 🙏.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. I've been drinking it with mackerel tataki, wild yellowtail, squid sashimi, and tuna sashimi.

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

Japanese>English

Sato Ubei 🍶 which is only available in Akita prefecture. I think this is my first time to drink it. The top aroma is slightly sweet. The mouthfeel is juicy, sweet, acidic, and full-bodied. The alcohol content is 14%, which is like sake. It's very drinkable and delicious 😋. I like it better than Niimasa 😘lol

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) The effect of oak barrels, or something quite close to whiskey, but the mellowness and acidity of sake is also alive! I know it's just my imagination, but I feel it's similar to the whiskey akashi. Of course, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have thought so. I also had a bottle of Junmai Namae in the heated sake corner, but my memory is a little fuzzy on whether or not my brain was getting the alcohol when I got here! I do remember that it was meant to be heated, but that's about it.

Japanese>English

A single-stage brewing process produces a cup with an astonishing sake content of over -50. The thickening and sweetness of the first sip includes the flavor of rice, making it an excellent match with Japanese sweets. Personally, I feel it also goes well with cream cheese.

Ibaraki Local Sake Tour Made with 100% Hitachinishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing. Both the rice and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Refreshing, light, and slightly fruity. Serve with strawberries and mashed baked potatoes.

Japanese>English

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Japanese>English

I was impressed with the Miyamanishiki Hi-Kiri that I had previously tasted, so I tried the nama-shu as well. It is fruity, sweet and delicious, but a little refreshing. It also seems to have more acidity. The hi-ire version seems more cohesive, but I personally prefer the nama-zake. It tasted good when it was first opened, but on the third day, it's not so good. The bitterness is getting much stronger. I think I would prefer the more stable fire-roasted version.

The wooden vat pressing seems to be a very careful and labor-intensive process. Aroma of maturity, like brown sugar, fills the nose. It makes you salivate a little. It has a nuance of matured sake, a soft mouthfeel with a rich umami flavor, and a sourness that makes the tongue feel tight. It has the same 15% alcohol as Kinjaku, but Haru has a gentler alcohol taste and is easier to drink ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. 🌅🌅

Yasui Sake Brewery's Ikuhashidataro, a sake brewed using the raw yeast method. The sake shop recommended this limited-edition sake made with the finest Shiga Prefecture Ginbukietsu. It had a fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and was refreshing. It was delicious and gone in no time.

It's sweet ...... or maybe medium. It is said that this sake brewery is a descendant of Kiyomasa Kato. It has a delicious flavor. I think this is the first time I have had this brand, but I would like to drink it again!

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sake Marche 2023 Part 2 We had sake from Kuze Sake Brewery, the closest sake brewery to my parents' house 😋. Amber-colored Daiginjo ✨with a rich rice flavor😊It's a traditional sake 😚👍It has a robust flavor, but the aftertaste disappears quickly😇. I felt like it was a sake to be enjoyed by itself and sipped slowly 🥳.

Japanese>English

GW in Kanazawa! At the Kanazawa Sake Brewery in Kanazawa Station, we came across a dream machine that allowed us to sample sake for 100 or 300 yen (P.S.) Naturally, we took the challenge. The description said it was dry, but I prefer raw sake, so I chose this one. I tasted it thinking it might be a fruity type, but it was a clear dry sake that would go well with sashimi and other dishes. I appreciate free tastings, but I feel somewhat guilty about it, so this kind of reasonably priced tasting is very helpful and encourages me to try different kinds. I tasted three other types of sake here, and all of them seemed dry to me. I have an image that Ishikawa's sake is basically dry.

It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!

Japanese>English

The clear, crisp mouthfeel, followed by a refreshing flavor, and the sweetness and umami that remain in the mouth. Drunken Musubi" is the first sake rice developed in Gifu Prefecture in 42 years. Iwamura Sake Brewery's Onnajyoji uses this rice. It is a sake that you can't go wrong with.

I'm not sure if it's because it was just opened or not. I wonder if the fact that it was just opened had something to do with it. Maybe it will be different if I drink it in a couple of days.

A liquor similar to white wine ♪ The aroma before you drink it gives you a hint of wine... It was so delicious that all three of us drank it in one go.

Japanese>English

The last of Hankyu Brewery Festival The first one: Fukuoka Wakatakeya Debut Sake like a dark white wine with the flavor of rice. But it is easy to drink! But be careful, it has 17 degrees of alcohol! This one was taught by Haruei Chichi and Gura. It's my first time in Fukuoka with this delicious drink! Thank you very much 🙏. The second one, Tottori Inada Honten IKU'S SHIRO Sweet and sour, tastes like juice. I tasted various kinds of sake while learning from many members. It was a lot of fun! If you are going tomorrow or later, please drink a lot and enjoy 🎶.
