This sake is brewed by Umeshiki Yamakawa, a subsidiary of the major sake maker Hakutsuru Shuzo. In recent years, Hakutsuru Shuzo has purchased a number of breweries from across Japan. The Aomori-based brewer Momokawa, which uses Hakutsuru Nishiki, is also a subsidiary company of Hakutsuru Shuzo. Not much of an aroma, slight whiff of alcohol. Dry, watery and clean on the palate, with little umami and a slight alu taste. After drinking it, it has a light throat feeling with a faint sweetness. It is a standard shokuchu sake. For the snacks, we had stewed kalbi and root vegetables, mussel pickled in soy sauce, chili bonito sakutome, and baby star ramen with the flavor of kondashi. It goes best with sakabuto, which enhances its sweetness.

Dry! And light in taste but rich in flavor. Serve with sashimi.

Next was a sake I'd never seen before, so here it is. As soon as you take a sip, a very unique habit spreads! What is this? What a shocking taste! Looking at the label carefully, I found a hint of plum flavor? If it's the astringent bitter taste of plum, I'm convinced: 🙂‍↕️ I don't think I'll ever drink it again😅.

Yamada-Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku are polished to 50% rice polishing ratio. The hardness of the flavor, minerality, and the umami of the rice can also be felt.

At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and bitter. It is my favorite type of sake, but the sweetness becomes more pronounced at room temperature. It's not a sticky sweetness, but it's easier to drink when it's chilled! It's good to drink it after a meal👌.

I was too lazy to cook dinner 😅 Drinking out at our usual pub~⤴️🍶✨ Bringing in the koreh tonight✨ First time I've ever seen this label, I bought it because it was quite handsome ❕. Refreshing, clean, fruity🌸🍶✨ The aroma is softly fruity 💠💠. In the mouth, it's a little melon 🍈. Mellow and crisp ✨. Sweet, spicy and delicious 😆. Well balanced ❕. It's good balance ɵ with a big bowl of Chinese stir-fry with green pepper as usual. I enjoy it with my usual large bowl of green pepper soup.

Brewed by Yamazaki Limited Partnership in Nishio, Aichi Yamazaki Kozo Yume-Ginko DREAM Junmai Daiginjo Genshu I love it so much 😆 I got to know it through "Oku". Yamazaki Gosei. This time it's Yamazaki Kozo's Yumeginko DREAM! This is a Junmai Daiginjo Harazake. It's a very good sake 🍶, same trend as "Oku". It's a very good sake 😆. It also has a slight gassy feeling.

@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

Japanese>English

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

Rice used is Yamae Nishiki It is supposed to be a sake that goes well with mushrooms, but in the end I did not pair it with mushrooms. However, it has a gentle sweetness, and it was just plain delicious. It also had a mushroom-like flavor, though it was only vaguely. Bitter and astringent tastes are close to that. It's a sweet sake, juicy, but clear and elegant on the palate. It was well balanced and certainly seemed to go well with mushroom dishes.

Sake from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 58 Alcohol content: 14%. 🍶I wonder if it is my imagination that I have a preconceived notion from the label that it tastes like eringi, and I enjoy having my senses bug out so much that I can no longer evaluate the taste. But in the end, it's delicious. The photorealistic mushroom picture is too good to forget for a moment. The shiitake mushrooms go on. ⛲️ "Izumi" series: 3) ［Thanks to the liquor store I sometimes go to.] ［Comparison of drinks at Shiga Izumi (2/2).

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.
