Astringent Bittersweet Lingering

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Japanese>English

Spiciness and umami from the beginning. Sourness extends moderately and lingers with umami.

Japanese>English

Speaking of sake with this insanely stylish label? Yes, that's right, Echigo Den'emon! (For the second time) Although there is no mention of it on the label, this sake is brewed with Omachi. It has an alcohol content of 18 degrees, which is as high as the original sake. It doesn't say, but is this a pure sake? When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma with a hint of banana. When you put it in your mouth...oh! This is quite thick and rich! Despite the powerful sweetness and acidity that spreads on the palate, and the purity of the top notes, it has a tremendous impact on the palate! Surprised😳When you swallow it down, the long lingering aftertaste along with the polite astringency will disappear like a shooting star in the back of your mouth without any linger. This is delicious 🤩! The label "Mishaguchi" is also cool. Thank you for the great sake ✨.

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time. I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The label is very cool. The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations. The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔. I opened it for 2 days and drank it.... It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳. This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up. It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

Belgian beer (Belgian chocolate & yeast) and Kanenaka cocktail is a triangle marriage with rich squid at Kanenaka Guts. What flavor do you imagine? By the way, the beer is also heated. Actually... I was drinking a lot, and I'm not sure if I remember...

I saw it in a sake shop and bought it at a convenience store....well...the aroma, a slightly sour sweet sake aroma...the taste is also sweet sake...the aftertaste is junmai sake...I guess I would drink it as it is...? It's a bit too much for a food sake.... It's easy to drink, but ....

(oˆ罒ˆo)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The third bottle of the Kyokugori Festival was Ozeki's Yumemiru Hitsuji🐑 opened 😀. The aroma is mild 😁The mouthfeel is smooth even though it is nigori 😊The sweetness and umami of the gentle rice 🌾 is good👍The middle part has a lactic acid taste 😚The aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink 😘. I think it is the best one-cup nigori that you can drink whenever you want 🥳.

Comparison of nigori sake (Wakayama's favorite nigori sake) Following Minakata, Chokyu ✌️ This is the fire-brewed version of the nigori sake we drank in February. I buy every bottle of Chokyu I see that I have never had before 😆. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was that there was no fizziness at all 😲. The aroma is somewhat almond-like, and it's cloudy with a lot of orioles, so it's like diluted almond milk. But it also has a sourness to it, so I felt a bit unbalanced 🤔. I prefer nigori sake with a fizzy taste 😄.

Japanese>English

Nigori Sake (Japanese rice wine) First time drinking Chokyu's nigori 😊. I always buy Chokyu when I see the new label ✌. The ori is quite a bit more and has a strong fizzy feel to it. It has a lot of umami and a hint of sweetness that is typical of Chokyu, and yet it has a clean dryness that makes it a dangerous sake that you can drink with gusto 🤭. The impression is quite similar to Hirotogawa's nigori👍 It goes well with western food, and the omelette was a nice match 😋.

Japanese>English

[Summer sake is also berry good😂] The most memorable brand I drank last year, super kyu🥰. Don't miss out on getting a bottle of summer raw sake that's also bright! This one is a bit different from the matured Omachi sake I had last year, and I have the impression that it swings in a very sweet and juicy direction. The aroma is tropical 🥭 and the flavor is perfect, with a long, sharp finish and a hint of bitterness. The umami flavor is firm, so it is easy to match with Japanese fried food 👍. Chokyu seems to have a different direction for each label, but each one has its own characteristics and they are all delicious and addictive 😍.

YOMOYAMA NAGANO in Osaka⑳ The booths of "MISONOTAKE" and "MAKISUI". This is another brand we didn't know. Misonochiku: Newly brewed Junmai-shu (Junmai-shu with new rice). The overall taste is firm, with little acidity, a full flavor of rice, and a deep, thick sweetness. This is a delicious junmai sake. Murasakitsuyuuso Junmai Ginjo Easy to drink at a low 12% alcohol content, but with a strong umami and sweetness 😋. Juniroku Light Doburoku with 4% alcohol. It has a strong lactic acid bacteria but is sweet and tasty. It is said to be delicious even when frozen like a sherbet. The picture is a little blurry... All of them are delicious. The brewer was shy and reserved in his voice 😁.

I bought it after tasting it at Hankyu Department Store. I've said it many times, but it's called "Takarayama" 😅. I'll say it again and again😅. It has a heavy mouthfeel for a fire-brewed sake, but I wonder if it's a raw sake? I got the impression that it was wrapped in a gentle sweetness from start to finish. It also has a lot of acidity. It tastes better than when I tasted it.

Japanese>English

It has a clear, refreshing taste with a good sweetness. It does not have a strong impact, but it can be drunk calmly. It is a good food sake. There are several varieties of this "rice bag series" with different rice, so it would be fun to compare them. I like "Hozan". ❣️

Your first brand ✨ A gift from MAJ! Thanks. It has a pretty yellowish color. I wonder what about other standard sake or something 🤔. The aroma is sour and the taste is also sour. You can feel the greeful feeling, Perfect for the hot summer months✨. I'm sure this will be very popular if they expand their distributorships 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and slightly tart. There are flavors of apple and a hint of pear. A medium mouth feel with acidity to clean your pallet. Nicely refreshing.

Although the label is damaged, the Sake is a beautiful melon flavor with a hint of banana. There is also some acidity to give it some dryness at the finish. Good balance between sweet and dry with a medium mouth feel. Excellent!

Since they had a lot of Kumamoto sake on hand, let's try to compare them! Unfortunately, they did not have any Kumamoto sake! There were some brands that we had tried before, so let's compare the first ones! I liked the name of Semi Junmai Ginjo, so I decided to try one type 🆗. It is a Junmai Ginjo, so there is no bitterness, but as expected, it is a little heavy! It also goes down your throat nicely! Sipping it while eating stick dumplings! This restaurant has a wide variety of sake cups! With this small beer glass, you can have just a little bit of what you want to drink! After you finish drinking, you can wash the beer glass with the large glass of "peace water" that was brought to us and dilute your body with the water. Now, we still have a lot of sake to drink, so let's get started! extensive knowledge This product is based on the image of cicadas, which spend their long larval period underground, and sake, which is matured and laid down in the cool depths of a warehouse. Ingredients: Rice (produced in Yamato Town, Kumamoto Prefecture), Rice malted rice (produced in Yamato Town, Kumamoto Prefecture) Raw materials: Yamadanishiki and Hananishiki Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15% (15 degrees Celsius) Sake degree +3 Acidity 1.6
