7.5 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content : 15 Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed Sake Degree : Undisclosed Store where purchased : After all is said and done, Japanese face (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly amber in color. Slightly full-bodied rice malt top-drinker The aroma is like soy sauce behind the same aroma of the top rise, and the firm umami of rice and the moderate sweetness spreads zingily with soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice aroma with a moderate bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It has a mellow and unique aroma, a deep flavor, and a strange impression that does not feel heavy, making it a good match for strong-flavored meals. Even as a stand-alone sake, its mysterious impression is addictive. It goes well with grilled bonito, dashimaki egg with shrimp, teppanyaki hormone of Hikoma pork, and motsu (pork bone) stewed tofu.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024 (2) Gindagawa, which I have had a cup of special honjozo or something before. Was Gintagawa sold in Niigata? I thought it was a classic type, but unlike the image on the label, the acidity was noticeable and it was a bit modern? It looks like it would go well with Western food 🍴.

Honjozo 🍶 JR East Kyun ♥ Pass one-day trip to Niigata 🚃. First, we took the Shinkansen to Niigata. Go to Aomi shopping center in Honmachi 🚌. Much darker. The sake 😅. Match with Cod Milt Tempura 👍. It is too strong by itself, but it becomes delicious when combined with snacks. Sashi-zuri A ¥1600 (tuna, flatfish, nodoguro, sea bream, yellowtail, shrimp, bai clam, bigeye tuna, sea bass) is also worth it 😋. Suzuki Fresh Fish Restaurant @ Niigata Honmachi 20240301

Tonight, our first in the series, Aizu Otokoyama Kai from Fukushima Aizu ✨. First of all, the specs are 100% Fukunoka with Jungin polish and 16% alcohol. The aroma is clear with a hint of pineapple and a mojito-like flavor in the second half. The attack is soft and sweet just like the aroma, but soon the acidity and bitterness overtake it and it has a nice crisp finish 👍 It is perfect as a mealtime drink and is very easy to drink without feeling too much alcohol 😋.

Otokoyama Brewery is located in Aizumisato-cho, Onuma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, which is different from Kaito Otokoyama. The brewery was dormant for a while, but has restarted again. It is a fresh, raw ogara-mi sake. It is slightly carbonated and tastes great with the bitterness of the oli.

Aizu Otokoyama INOMATA65, autumn rise. Orthodox but slightly fruity. It is delicious and does not have the strange feeling of old-fashioned sake lingering on the tongue. This is a repeat sake.

This is a dry sake from Kamekichi🐢. It's a sake that is consumed almost exclusively in Aomori prefecture, especially in the Tsugaru region. I don't think chika-san drinks it... 😌. The first aroma is softly sweet. In the mouth, the sweetness is subdued, but the umami is well expressed and it has a beautiful dry taste typical of Aomori sake. Although it is dry, it has the same umami as the Tamadaru Junmai Namaisake from the same brewery that I drank in early spring 😊. It is a legitimate food sake with enough umami to not interfere with the meal, just like the previous Sakuta. It was delicious 🐢✨️

Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

This is the second day in a row of Kenrishi. Yesterday, I drank it at room temperature, but today, I drank it heated! I'm going to work tomorrow, but I'm not going to stop drinking it. Regular kenrishibai is the best in terms of cost performance, but when it is heated up, it has an umami flavor that is hard to describe. Thank you, Mr. Kenshyo, for everything! You can raise the price more: ☺️

Katakana Masamune ⚔️ The brewer is different from Hiragana Masamune. This one is a harder, dryer strain in comparison. The dryness precedes the freshness of the raw. Lukewarm heating was the best match 😋.

Drinking out. When you drink outside, you accumulate records of what you drank😅. The aroma is almost imperceptible. It is refreshing when you put it in your mouth. There is a slight sweetness, but it gives a light impression. The aftertaste is a bit like a classic Japanese sake. Sake that is not too sweet is also good. Straightforward and simple impression 🍶.

Store Drinking. HITOGOKICHIKI 100% The color is clear or slightly amber. The aroma is that of rice. When you sip it, you will taste the flavor of rice. It has a dry ALC feel. There is no fruity sweetness, and the taste is stoic. The rice sweetness remains until the end, with a rounded aftertaste. It has the impression of a Junmai Doshin🎯 royal road.

😁 Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 15 I drank the sake I missed yesterday today. I went to Ueda, so I bought a bottle of Wada Ryutonomizu. It was a delicious hiyaoroshi with a good taste of rice. None of the people I drank with today knew about it. I thought it was pretty famous in my opinion, but... Is that so?

Sake Day I wanted to open something from the fridge😅. I've never heard of this sake before but I've been curious about it since Mariponnu's check-in 😊. First Koimari! I can't imagine how good it smells from the label. It's very fruity and sweet! It also has a nice exit feeling. The finish is clean and crisp👍👍.
