Bacchus and Yamaha 2023, Toyama Eki-naka BAR ^ ^. The fourth drink is Narimasa, Junmai Daiginjo, 2021 Sake Brewing Year. 2 years old sake. Every sake at Narimasa is 100 yen per glass. Too cheap. I didn't really feel the sense of maturity, but it is a slightly dry sake with a long aftertaste.

Japanese>English

The freshness of the sweetness spreads. Sourness comes into play at the end. Scented! Yummy 😋 Very good 👍 lol.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Nanto City Purchased at an antenna store in Toyama Prefecture The aroma is mild, slightly fruity. The overall impression is DRY. The finish is moderately bitter and spicy. It is a good food sake.

I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️. This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️. I'm not sure what to make of it. I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆. I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰 I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )

Japanese>English

Lightly nigori sounds good✨. But surprise, surprise! It's slightly spicy, yellowish, dry, and richly dark😳! This brewery, Okura in Nara, has a unique personality🎵.

Japanese>English

I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record. Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout. It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature. The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Japanese>English

It is as firm as a fatty grilled dish. But it is not at all stodgy.

Japanese>English

Green aroma. Clean and refreshing on the palate. Lime or young pineapple. Astringent body from the rice. Is it a bit like a "clear but tasty" wine? I don't know what it is. Taste level 3/5

(*´∇｀*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sakurada Sake Brewery, the furthest sake brewery from the tip of Ishikawa Prefecture. We had a bottle of their top of the line Dakei Junmai Daiginjo at Sakurada Sake Brewery ✨While most of Ishikawa Prefecture is dry, it is very tasty with a delicious sweetness. Sogen and Takeba are the best in Suzu City, but Dakei is just as good.

Sake received at the Sake World Summit. This sake is brewed with Ginbukiyo sake produced in Shiga Prefecture. The acidity and umami of the sake are well intertwined with each other. It was a delicious sake. It is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink. My wine-loving friend who accompanied me also accepted the taste of this sake made from the sake's "nama-hashiroshi" (sake brewed from the same yeast as the original yeast).

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉔ Ichihoro is the first sake I've had in three years. I have a strong impression of light nigori raw sake.

Junmai light nigori nama sake I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever. I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.

Purchased 👀 at Sazanami Sake Shop in front of the station during a day trip to Hikone. Beautiful, corner space and friendly staff. It was a nice store 😙. Since I was there, I chose Kazuhiro, a sake I had never had before from Shiga. It was full, slightly sweet, had a delicious rice flavor, and was very drinkable 😋. Paired with sweet ayu fish from Lake Biwa, it was delicious. ❤️ It is indeed a sake from Shiga, a rice-producing region 😇

This sake was given to us by a visitor to Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Niigata, which is famous for its signature Akita dog. It is slightly sweet and has a subtle rice flavor, and although it was made in December 2010, it does not have an aged feel and is refreshing and easy to drink. It has a slight peach and lactic acid flavor. I think it is one of the most delicious alcoholic sake.

Japanese>English

It was a delicious sake with a good balance of flavors and a fresh, mellow taste 😋.

Lightly perked. The richness of umami and spiciness asserts itself in the middle.

This is my first New Year's Day back in my hometown Osaka. This year, my parents invited us to their department store Osechi. My sister and her husband brought me a bottle of Okutanba as a celebratory sake. You can feel the sweetness of the rice in the beginning, but it changes to a dry taste in the middle to the end. It is a perfect match for the richly flavored Osechi and fatty yellowtail sashimi. It is said that the sake degree is +5 (dry), but I feel that it is +2~3 (slightly dry?). I guess. Anyway, it was a delicious sake. Thanks to my sister and her husband!

Japanese>English

The sake my sister and her husband served me at New Year's was so good that I decided to pick up another brand from the same brewery. Okutanba Junmai Ginjo. This is Yamana Shuzo's regular sake. As stated on the label, the brewery has a long history, having been founded in Kyoho. The Edo period (^_^;) is amazing. It was my wife's fourth birthday today. I really wanted to go out to eat, but the situation was such that we had a takeout party at a yakitori restaurant and drank at home. Thank you for your continued support. I had a cold glass of sake. Oh, dry? It's been a while since I've had a dry, crisp sake. Even though it's light and refreshing, you can still feel the taste of the rice right after you put it in your mouth. At the same time, there is a sense of alcohol, but the aftertaste is short, so it gives a refreshing impression. According to the brewery's website, it has a sake strength of +1. ＋Hmm? +1? It's not dry, is it? Once again, I realized that the accuracy of my tongue sensor is disappointing (tears). Well, everyone has their own way of feeling.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Okutanba 🍶The aroma is subdued, the sake is light and clean, with a soft sweetness and a short, sharp finish 😊It goes well with Kaisendon, another bottle I want to drink again ✨.
