We opened a bottle at the office. This is the first time we have had "Shirasagi no Shiro", another name for Himeji Castle. At first I drank it at room temperature, and from the second glass I drank it on the rocks, and I could feel the gentle sweetness of the sake. The taste reminded me of Tengu Mai's Yamahai brewing. I'd like to try it warmed.

The location changed and we went to Hyogo Sake EXPO 2022, a local sake event in Hyogo, at Kobe Hankyu. I tasted a regular product, a draft version. I had tasted the hi-ire version before, so I wondered what the draft version was like. It was easier to drink than the hi-ire version, but not to my taste. I prefer the Shirasagi no Shiro (castle of the egret), which is made with Nojoho.

The only place I can think of that uses Nojoho is Okutanba. The overall impression is gentle and the taste comes slowly. It looks like wood, grass, or herb. It also has a classy atmosphere. The sake here is not my favorite, but when I find it, I buy it for some reason.

2021/06/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The design and color of the bottle is very stylish. When you open the bottle, the aroma is like muscat. It's light and fresh in the mouth. You can feel the sweetness of the roundness of the aroma. The more you drink, the more fruity it becomes. This may be a sake for women.

October 7, 2022 Evening drink at home. It was the day of a local festival, so I decided to have something to drink. I bought a bottle of GOZENSHU9(NINE), which I had been curious about for a long time. I bought a bottle of GOZENSHU9(NINE), which I had been curious about for a while, and opened the bottle. The stylish bottle and label reminded me of wine. The bottle and label are fashionable, but it is made using the oldest method in Japan called "Bodai-Hashiroshi". I heard that it is made by the oldest method in Japan called "Bodai Hashimoto". It is an easy-drinking bottle with a pronounced rice flavor and acidity. It is an easy-drinking bottle. It was delicious with I enjoyed it with manatsuo, maiwashi sashimi, etc.

Hakkeikubiki is a series of the eight blessings of Kakizaki: sun, water, earth, sky, wind, trees, snow, and people. This is wind. Come to think of it, it was windy in Kakizaki. This is the second bottle from the Sake Rice Study Group. The sake rice is locally grown Koshitanrei. The aroma is light, but has the gorgeous flavor of a daiginjo. The taste is very broad. It is delicious.

This is the second in a series of ordered alcoholic beverages. I drank it to study it, as it is another brand of Kubiki Shuzo from the Koshiji-no-Kenbai series. What a surprise! This is delicious! It is very tasty. It is the cheapest grade in the Kubiki series, but it was extremely refreshing, with a nice aroma and a smooth taste. I brought it with me on a camping trip and drank it all by myself within a few hours. I'll have to repeat this. I'll have to buy a bottle. If I can get to Niigata, that is.

Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

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.

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 🙏.

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.

The second sake is a sake that has been laid to rest for three years. Okushika. Oily food goes well with it, but it is also quite hard-boiled with a sense of danger at 18 degrees alcohol. It is delicious, though. It goes especially well with fried foods and strong meals. Try it with shimarakko tempura. Rice used: Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18

This is my first time to drink Akushika Okushika! The aroma is not so strong, but the umami, acidity, spiciness, etc. are all well balanced though each has a strong and solid flavor 👍I can drink it with peace of mind 😌🍶. It's good at room temperature or warmed up 👌 Good at room temperature or warmed up.

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.

Beian Daikoku drinking comparison: ❗️ Following the recent summer sake Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake 😊. Not much aroma 🤔. It's more of a Japanese sweetness than a fruity flavor. It has a Japanese sweetness and little acidity. The aftertaste is soft and disappears quickly. It has a soft taste. ❗️ It's a delicious sake that won't interfere with your meal👍

Sorry, but I don't like it that much. It tastes like nail polish or nail polish remover. So I just poured it over the atmosphere without really tasting it.

I love this summer drink ‼️ I drank it last year and it became my favorite 😊 Citrus🍋 aroma and taste: ❗️ As it says on the back label. Lemon🍋 like acidity and strong bitterness😊. I don't feel any alcohol at all. The sweetness is moderate and it's like a juice. You can drink it like a juice. ‼️ It's like a summer drink 👍 It goes well with oily food ❗️ Very tasty sake 😃. I also bought the Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu with it so I'm looking forward to tasting it too 😊. I'm looking forward to taste comparison 😊.

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 🤔.

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.
