For the first time in my senses, there is a slight aroma of wooden vats, and the fermentation is elegantly expressed and luxurious. Is it a regular sake because there is no specific name on it? Pair it with horse mackerel nameko and it's the best match!

I bought reading glasses at DAISO. Now with chikumo Exchange goods 😆 Thank you for everything 😄 It's a bright yellow color and feels like it's made in a wooden vat 😆. It's not intimidated by greasy food. The taste is very robust ✨👍 The lack of cloying taste is already great! It was a delicious bottle!

This is a record of a sake tavern I stopped by when I was in Shibuya on a business trip. There was Wakakoma, which I had been interested in for a while, so we compared drinks by specifying the brand name. Wakakoma was a beautiful sake. It was comfortable to finish it easily without any sticking point. Kanemaru had a black and white label, which I preferred. The rice flavor was strong and distinct. Delicious! The red and white label had a strong smoky aroma, perhaps a wooden vat feeling, and it was hard to taste it as a sake. Next was Eiko Fuji no Hoshimatsuri. I saw it in the basement of Shibuya Tokyu, but did not buy it because of its high price. I drank one pot of it deliciously and appreciated it as I should have. The white malted rice of Sanzen Sakura was the best discovery of the day. The acidity comes first, but the umami comes soon after. It is really delicious. I think it is one of my favorite sake with acidity attack. I want to drink it again. The last sake is from Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. This sake is refreshing, but a little bit rich, and quite delicious. The sake sommelier's recommendations offer new discoveries. It was a good way to spend a Friday night.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. I bought it at the end of last year at an antenna store in Toyama. I didn't know about this brand. The color is a light amber. The color is pale amber, and the flavor is just as it should be. It's relatively easy to drink because it's crisp and not overpowering, but it didn't seem to suit my partner who likes floral and sweet flavors. It didn't match well with the grilled chicken, but I think it will swell up with time, so I'll leave it for a while. It's quite a unique sake, and I don't dislike it!

Japanese>English

I have had Taitozan before, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it for the first time in a while. It has a slightly astringent white wine-like aftertaste with almost no sweetness. I think it is best to drink it with fish dishes, which is a standard white wine. Since it is winter from now on, yellowtail and radish would be delicious. I, of course, drink it only with sake.

The first drink at Ishininkin in front of Toyama Station. It is dry but not too strong.

The fourth cup. Choryu Shuzo has its headquarters and brewery in Hiroyo, Nara Prefecture, but they also have a brewery in Yatsuo, which was exhibited at this booth. It has a pleasant aroma of cedar barrels and a clean taste. It was the perfect sake for a quiet drink.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival. Sake Hiroba. The difference from previous events is that the whole town of Saijo is drinking from noon 😅. There is no way that the already drunk people would come on time for the 17:00 start time 🙄. The Sake Hiroba venue got more and more crowded as time went by🤣. Sake 🍶. This sake 🍶 is a first for me 👀. It has a slight yellow tinge and a slight alcohol taste. Light sweetness, peanut🥜 type sweetness. A sake I thought had an old-fashioned finish 🍶. *The second picture is the label I put on myself at the labeling corner for the commemoration of my visit: 🏷️🤣

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued. It goes down the palate as softly as water, without insisting on much, and passes down the throat refreshingly and cleanly. It is just like a conductor who silently nurtures young people.

☆☆☆ I had some errands to run after the night shift, so I went out to the central part of the prefecture. I wanted to drink nigori after a long time So I stopped by a sake shop. I was interested in the mountains, but I was still intrigued by I was intrigued by the mountainous area, but I was also intrigued by the maniacal local sake 😊✌️ Tempura from the usual fish cake shop for snacks! I bought jako and cheese 🐟🧀! #Genshu Sake Brewery #Limited edition #Nagori Sake #Nagori Sake #Newly Stored Unblended Sake #Cold sake #20% alcohol #Tottori

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

I don't like sweet, but this one was delicious with rice without being too fruity.

Japanese>English

It was a souvenir for myself when I stopped by Ise Jingu Shrine. I thought I hadn't had nigori sake recently, so I chose something that looked easy to drink. I had it after cooling it down thoroughly. It is sweet and easy to drink, almost as if you are already drinking amazake. It might be a good idea to drink it as a dessert-like ending to a meal.

Japanese>English

My wife posted this first😅. When we went on a trip to Ise, I tasted it at the brewery and it was so good that I immediately pre-ordered it 😊. It arrived refrigerated and I opened it right away. The aroma was good and my expectations were high! It is refreshing on the palate, with a fruity aroma escaping through the nose. The sweetness and umami of the rice spread in the mouth and it was very delicious 🍶. I will definitely buy it when I visit Ise again 😁.

Then the middle one, "Senryo Otokoyama. Honey-like aroma. The mouthfeel is silky, but the flavor is similar to a juku-shu type. It has a honey and syrupy feel with a touch of pettiness. However, it is easy to drink, with no harshness or bitterness, perhaps because the overall assertiveness is modest! It is crisp but dense. It is a deep taste that is hard to describe!

Japanese>English

GW 4 days 3 nights with wife, 1,500km round trip🤣 We went on a Sanriku car trip 🙂. We stayed one night near Sendai and went to Sanriku. We had an ume (sea urchin) lunch box at Kuji station, and spent the second night in Miyako. Miyako's sake brewery, Hishiya Sake Brewery, Senryo Otokoyama. Seafood Cuisine at Murekou, a long-established bar that has been in business for over 45 years. Today we had fresh and delicious seafood dinner at Today, the restaurant was run by a pleasant elderly couple, who were basically just a customer with a reservation, but they were happy to help us at the counter.

First time to drink in Fukushima. So, this is a sake from Inawashiro, Fukushima. The moment you put it in your mouth, it is gorgeous. It is very pleasant. It has a sweet taste with a nice aftertaste. It is a sake for spring.

Kyo no Hana No. 1 spring sake, Refreshing flowery aroma and refreshing acidity. Not like a fruit, but really like a flower. I have never had anything else with this aroma. I think it will be popular among women. I recommend it.
