☆☆☆☆☆ I've had Beian Daigoku before, but this is the first time I've had Iyari. It is a lineup of Yamahai. It has the same flavor as Hokan-Daikoku, but with the acidity of Yamahai. No, it might be good. I'm not saying it might be, but it's good.

9/6Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture "North Alps Drinking Walk You can drink and walk around 3 breweries with a special cup of sake in your hand. At Kitayasu Brewery, we enjoyed five different kinds of sake. Among them, I liked the "Iyari" pure rice sake! It has an acidity that is typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast on the palate. Then, it was complex yet spreading on the palate, The harmonious umami, bitterness, and acidity are delicious. ✨️ The lingering aroma through the nose is also full and long. I enjoyed it very much☺. There were many gourmet stalls at the event, and the food, such as grilled bandit and deer meat, which is typical of Nagano Prefecture, went very well with the sake.

@ Iwamizawa Kramochi Rice used is Gohyakumangoku It seems to be a traditional junmai sake, but it has a refined ginjo level mouthfeel and a clean, crisp finish. It is a good sake that you can drink calmly and enjoy the full flavor of the rice. ❣️

I had it before and liked it so much I got it again 😆. BBQ, corn, edamame, cucumbers... perfect for summer 😁. I like to drink it with soda since it is 20 degrees. And if you mix it with Wilson lemon, it becomes refreshing and easy to drink ✨. It came in handy in the summer when I wanted to drink very much ☺️

Purchased because of the 60% milled rice ratio and 20 alcohol by volume. I wanted to drink it on the rocks on the day the rainy season ended, so I opened the bottle. ☀️ I paired it with frozen Genghis Khan that I brought back from Tono. It's well separated, so I shook it lightly before putting it in ice 🧊. It's less lactic than I thought it would be, and it's very spicy and thick, but it's cold and refreshing and delicious 🤤. I like this kind of sketchy in a good way. My brain feels good🤩. Definitely this for Genghis Khan 😭

Alone, it is quite matured. However, it goes well with everything we served today, such as simmered taro, grilled broccoli, and cold shabu-shabu with hamo (pike conger eel). I was surprised.

The rice used is "Hotarumai," a brand of Koshihikari rice. It has a strong acidity and a cider-like taste. The sweetness is moderate, and the aftertaste is refreshing. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes. It's a little different from what I like, but it's an interesting sake 🍶.

Made with "Hyakumangoku no Shiro," Ishikawa's newest rice suitable for sake brewing, and Kanazawa yeast. It has a gentle touch and a clean aftertaste. It goes well with sushi rolls with amazu (sweet vinegar).

Ponshukan Nagaoka Station Store drinking groupie 8th cup. I wanted to try a strong dry sake, so I chose Kashiwa Dew. I thought it would be okay because I am used to drinking Sanzenmori, but I didn't feel it was that spicy despite its high alcohol content. It did have a cheese-like sourness, but it was not strong. I would have understood if I had drunk it first. I still have some more sake to drink, so I bought some coins.

Slightly yellowish and clear with fine effervescence. There are aromas of honeysuckle, topknot, and pear. The attack is rather strong, with gentle acidity, rich sweetness, and a rather long finish.

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

(*∇ ̄*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 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.

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!

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.
