This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

I was drunk and went to bed first, My partner and daughter screamed in the middle of the night😱. I woke up in a panic and found a bug! I killed it instantly with a kincho0 under the sun ‼️ The case was safely settled. I was woken up, so I thought I'd have a drink and go back to sleep. In the fridge, Nahami's sacred sake from Akita ✨. I'm so happy ㊗️ to open it 😁. I got it from the altar at my partner's work lol I'm going to have a look at this and some surume 🤣. I looked at the label and thought 💦 Naba? It has a peculiar taste 😅. And then I opened the bottle 🎉. And then a sip... You're a quirky guy! By Chidori Nobu style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Score☆☆☆ Conclusion, don't drink sake... 😱

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_63 Akita Prefecture booth 4 Naba Shoten Co., Ltd. is located in Akita City. The current sake brewery was built in 1927-3, the first reinforced concrete structure in Tohoku. Ginrin Kurukuru A refreshing sourness, but with a hint of umami. It has a slightly modern feel, with a slightly yogurt-like sourness. I like the kurukuru label and have been buying and drinking it, but I don't know where I bought it...probably at a liquor store near Mt.

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

SAKEPOST Product] Made from "Takananishiki," rice suitable for sake brewing 🌾 Aroma like a lactic acid beverage, with a rich and distinct flavor. It is a refreshing sake that goes down your throat, but is very drinkable. This is my third time at SAKEPOST and it is as delicious as ever!

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_74 Aomori Prefecture Booth ③. Nakamura Kamekichi Corporation is located in Kuroishi City. This is a brewery that I had never heard of, as Tsugaru's local sake is relatively rare in other prefectures. Representative brands are Kamekichi and Tamadare. ◉Kamekichi Special Junmai Dry Sake The standard, mildly umami taste, with a clean finish that is not too assertive. It is not too spicy. ◉Kamekichi Junmai Ginjo Slightly sweet aroma, sweet and sour aftertaste, with a slight yoghurt-like acidity. The label makes it sound like a shochu, but it is a very tasty sake.

Japanese>English

☆ It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is consumed mainly in the Tsugaru area of the prefecture. It is a popular sake that can be found at any shop. It is a popular sake that can be drunk at any restaurant. 🚄 When I search the internet, I see the word "bitterness" everywhere. word comes up I want to feel it 🍶´-. 5 year old sake (matured sake) old sake. When I drink it cold, the bitterness and pungency hit me at first. When I heated it up, the bitterness didn't disappear and sweetness came out 🤔. Maybe I prefer it cold 💕 It was so delicious! I want to drink fresh sake too 🍀. * #Nakamura Kamekichi Co. #Special Junmai Dry #Hanafukiyuki #Mutsuhomare #Old Sake #Aged Sake #Aomori#Aomori

Buy at the warehouse 1635 yen / 720ml My first Aomori sake. The brewery is located in the old town of Kuroishi City, which we reached after visiting Lake Towada and Oirase. The brewery is a magnificent structure and was the location for the historical drama "Inochi" (Life), with pictures of a young Yoshiko Mita and the late Toru Watanabe. The taste is soft and gentle. Maybe the water is different? Although the sake is labeled as a dry sake, it is not that dry, and it is delicious with a sweet taste. It seems that it could be a little more well-known and popular.

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

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

I wonder if this is an aged wine too 🤔. It's even darker than Nada's Nama Ippon 😆. A little bit I feel the alcohol is stronger 😊.

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 😋.

Japanese>English

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 🍶.

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👍👍.

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?

#Hamamatsu# Nagura Sake Shop On the second day back to my parents' house, I first visited Kakegawa's 🍶. We went to a local liquor store and bought a bottle of spring limited edition sake. First time drinking this brand, we had it with my family 😁. I was told that it's good to drink it cold, so I made it very cold ❄️❄️ When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not so strong, probably because it was chilled... When I put it in my mouth, I could feel the coldness and the richness of the flavor. And a good amount of spiciness... It's delicious, I can drink it easily 😆😆😆.

Japanese>English

The one I went to a liquor store I don't usually go to after a baseball game and drank after I got home. It tastes like Aizan, but is closer to a classic. It is spicy with a little sweetness. It tastes hotter than when I tasted it. It is spicy even if the temperature is changed. I think it is hard to drink by itself. When it gets close to room temperature, the sweetness comes out, but the spiciness and alcohol taste also become stronger.

Japanese>English

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten (🍶) and asked the landlady to make a dry selection for me 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 It's the second day of the party with my mother-in-law💕. Here's a quick rice 💕 The aroma is fruity💕 Color is light golden💕 The mouthfeel is a little thick💕 It's dry but you can feel the sweetness💕You can also feel the umami of the rice💕It goes in smoothly💕May be a dangerous sake😅.

Drinking sake with my granddaughter is the best 💕💕💕My mother-in-law is also happy and it's really a great party👍👍👍👍 I recommend this sake 😁 please try it 👍It's a great sake for a meal 👍✌️

From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

Japanese>English

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.
