Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.

It has a gorgeous(?) sweetness at first and a very refreshing aftertaste. It has a sweet taste at first, and the aftertaste is very refreshing. I would like to enjoy it as a light snack or by itself.

My wife has a slight taste disorder, but since she couldn't spend time at her parents' house 😊, we treated her to another New Year's meal 🎍. The wine to go with it was "Kyo no Hana" purchased at our favorite liquor store in Kushiro, Sagajo Shoten. I was torn between this and "Tatsusen" brewed by the same brewery, neither of which I had ever tasted before, but I chose this one because of the "fantastic rice" description 😊. Kyo no Hana No.1! There really are a lot of different sake rice varieties available: ‼️ It has a sharpness that is typical of Fukushima sake, but at the same time, it has a moist and gradually delicious flavor 😋.

Japanese>English

Kyo-no-Hana from the sake bag I bought in Fukushima. It is sweet but not too sweet, so it is very tasty. Today I paired it with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), grilled hanpen cheese with mentaiko (cod roe), and ahi jio with nori (dried seaweed), all of which went very well together.

Today, I went shopping at Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple. And by the way? I thought I'd buy some sake. Chomei-sen! The name is good luck! I had no choice but to buy it. I thought, "I have no choice but to buy it! I want to cherish my good luck! I took it home and opened the bottle, thinking I would drink it as it was cold there. No blowout. First, the supernatant. I could feel some acidity. After that, I stirred it well, poured it into a glass, and drank it! It is sweet! As soon as you think that, it goes from dry to sharp. And then the four-pack was gone.

The sake I chose when I returned home for Obon was Gold Junmai Daiginjo by Popular Sake Brewery. This sake brewery is very particular about the traditional method of making sake, and everything is made in wooden vats. It is a junmai daiginjo that is polished to 50%, so there is no cloying taste at all ✨It starts with an elegant sweetness and rice flavor, with the aroma of the wooden vat and a slight bitterness at the end. Delicious 😊.

Japanese>English

Clean and easy to drink. It has a lychee-like aroma and a banana-like sweetness. It's dry on the throat, but you can feel the sourness and sweetness. I personally like it better when the temperature rises a little and it's closer to room temperature.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

It's like water, clear and dry. No sweetness at all. No mercy!

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... .... I forgot about it...I thought it was a hybrid of old-fashioned and modern...not much aroma...the mouthfeel has the old-fashioned mellow, mellow, umami taste.... It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Japanese>English

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

A bowl of oden at an oden shop in Shizuoka Station. I had no idea about this brand. The best part of traveling is being able to drink this kind of local sake with local food 😆. A little sweet and full, with a clean dry finish. It is not flashy, but there is no alcohol feeling that lingers in the throat and it is very smooth to drink 😄. It goes great with Shizuoka oden, which is a thick, dark broth with fishmeal, and if we weren't on a family trip, we would be drinking it endlessly 😅.... Also, I had a local B gourmet dish called "Motsuru Curry" for the first time, which was also very tasty👍👍!

Junmai one-cup of Koyoromo. This is the first time to drink Koyoromo. It is an orthodox Junmai sake, not heavy and refreshing, but it also has a hidden luster. I see that the brewery makes all of its sake from junmai sake. The label is Hiroshige's 53 Stages of the Tokaido, Nisaka.

Purchased at a nearby department store. The brewer enthusiastically explained to us. It has a slightly sweet taste. It has a strange taste with a hint of wood (forest)? It has a mysterious taste with a smell of wood (forest).

(*^^^^^+) Today, my sister sent me 1/5 I got a bottle of Kanbei from Meijo Shuzo 😀. As the label says, it's light and dry. It's a great sake to drink with food. It's a good sake to pair with food 😎Thanks sis✨.

Japanese>English

It is light and dry but slightly sweet and delicious. I can drink this as much as I want😄.

Japanese>English

Sake Brewer : Meijo Shuzo Place of Origin : Toyofuji-cho, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture Content : 300ml Price : about 450 yen Rice polishing ratio: 73% Alcohol percentage: 13 Pairing : Stir-fried komatsuna and thick fried tofu with aged soybean paste (hot and thick) The aroma is crisp but gorgeous. It has a slightly long bitter taste that is heavy at first and lingers on the palate. It is a small sip, but if you drink it heavily, it is bitter and you may not like it... As soon as it hits your tongue, you feel a little bit of sweetness and a thin lingering bitterness... If you like sake that is crisp and has a short aftertaste... You may not like it... If you want to match it with food, I feel that you have to fight it with tempura and other dishes with strong flavors such as salt or boiled vegetables... If the food is light in flavor... I think this sake might make it hard to taste the food... Personally, I feel it's like shochu (it's a freshly stored sake)... On the other hand, people who enjoy the richness of sweetpotato shochu might enjoy it... Personally, I prefer a refreshing type... Overall rating C (S-D)
