(*∇ ̄*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was a very cold and snowy day in Ishikawa today, so I opened a bottle of Gunma Izumi to warm it up 😀 I'll start with room temperature 😁I've been drinking a lot of Yamahai lately, so I think I'm starting to get the feel of Yamahai 🤔It's solid and delicious! I've been drinking a lot of 😋 warmed up 😋, the aroma and taste are doubled and it's delicious. I've been drinking it for a while now and I'm starting to get a feel for it.

A little cloudy with a light gassy feel. Fresh and crisp. It has the impression of an adult ramune. The Gunma Izumi I drank before was good, but this one is even better.

At the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. It is made from Yumesasara. The sake is fresh like a fresh sake. It is delicious with a fruity sweetness that is not too sweet.

Buy at Asahikawa Marushin Shoten The rice used is Yumesasara from Tochigi prefecture. It is a low alcohol type, but it has a moderate sweetness, and as expected from an unpasteurized sake, it has a crisp taste. The acidity is also a bit like white wine, so it can be used with western food. It is an all-round food sake. It is the first time to drink Sawahime, so it is difficult to evaluate only this one, but it is an interesting brewery!

(oˆ罒ˆo)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today was the first time I had the Night Emperor, which I bought in Hiroshima Station when I was in Hiroshima City on business 😋. Tanabata 🎋✨🍧 on July 7. The local sky is about to cry 😭I entrusted the Milky Way to Yoru no Teio 😊. When you pour it into your cup, it's amber like a mass of flavor 💛When you drink it, it's still a great flavor 😚👍The aftertaste is very sharp, and it makes your drink go down 😘. Wish on a strip of paper 🌟🙏🙏. I wish for good health and lots of delicious sake💕. I hope so 🥳.

The fifth glass was to your first Imperial 👑. The aroma is light and fruity, like peaches. The palate is smooth, with a well-balanced taste of sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent. The taste is balanced between sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent. The clean quality of the sake allows it to be enjoyed quickly and without habit!

It's not a scent... it's more of a... distinctive smell... and I can definitely tell it's fermented... lactic acid bacteria? Strong acidity! It's a very unique wine, so I think it's a very special drink. I think the flavor is a little more mellow on the second day after opening. It was well preserved, but... but does it really taste like this? That scent? It smells like fresh laundry... like an old wooden tub... and I don't like it... I don't...

This was also purchased at Oka Sake Shoten, the same place as Unjaku. The aroma is mild but unique. The aroma is mild but unique, and it has a light aged feeling, probably because it has been shipped for a long time. If you drink it cold, it has some peculiarities, but overall it is flat. The umami acidity has a strong impact. It would be good to warm it up as well. According to the staff at the store, they won't be making PURE PINK this year. When heated, the sweet and savory flavor really shines through. I definitely recommend it over cold sake.

The rice used is Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. It has a dark mouthfeel and a bit of maturity, but as the days go by, it becomes more rounded and changes to a level where even those who are not good at it can go. However, even though it has become more rounded and easier to drink, the sweetness and strength of the Omachi can still be clearly seen, so there will be different tastes. For me, it's a very interesting sake! The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it might be too peculiar to pair with a meal. However, from the second day onwards, while maintaining its richness, it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and is not bad as a food sake. If you roll it around in your mouth, it is a nicely aged sake, but if you drink it with gusto, you can drink it without worrying too much. Still, I want to enjoy the aged feeling of this kind of sake, so drinking it a little bit every day is good for me.

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I've just received a bottle of Bakurai, which is the driest sake I've had in Japan so far 😀 Sake degree +28 😀 The aroma is quite mild, and when you drink it, the spiciness comes on quickly, but the sharpness is excellent, so it's easy to drink. It is very easy to drink.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.
