Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. So-called "craft saké" sake. The only ingredient is rice malt. It is sweet and sour with white malted rice. It is sweet and sour, but it has a fruity taste and I like it better than other sakes made with white malted rice.

LAGOON BREWERY's Shozora Mori no SAKE - Kuromoji Doburoku. It is said to be mixed with a herb called kuromoji, and it certainly smells not like doburoku. Is it the aroma? It may be the smell of aroma? It is a sake with a new sensation.

Tonight, we are opening our second bottle 💪. Shozora Drunken Melon 2023BY🍈🍈🍈🍈🍈. LAGOON, which has been making a name for itself in craft saké Brewery, who has been making a name for themselves in craft saké, is finally opening their first bottle at our house✨. Let's start with the top clear. The aroma is of melon🍈, but there is a sweet smell of baked goods 🍪 on the palate as well. It's like drinking pudding caramel or bitter chocolate liqueur 🍫. When the lees of doburoku is mixed well, the texture of mashed rice and creaminess is added and the sweet liqueur mentioned earlier is a little gentler but well, sweet. It's a dessert sake, but it looks delicious with soda or something 🙌

I chose this one based solely on the likability of sounding like "thank you". The brewer, the Kato family, has had "Ari" in their name for generations, so the name is "Ari-Kato. Furthermore, the Kato family is also related to Kiyomasa Kato, a warlord of the Warring States period. I had always thought of Kiyomasa as being associated with Kumamoto Castle, but this was the first time I learned that he was also associated with Yamagata and Tsuruoka. Learning history through sake. The right way to drink lol #Yu Kato #Fuji Sake Brewery #Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture #Junmai Ginjo #Limited edition sake from the brewery

Mr. Masushin. A little apple aroma. Eiko Fuji no Ouzo. It has a slightly astringent taste from sweetness and cut by acidity. We enjoyed it with grilled chicken, grilled vegetables, consomme soup with mushrooms and bacon, and pickled radish and carrots. It is sweet but has a nice sharpness and acidity, It is a delicious sake that can be served with any dishes. It is a dangerous sake with a strength of more than 16 degrees Celsius, which will soon disappear.

It was hot today 🥵. On a day like this, it's a good time to take a look at the popular craft sakes‼️ It's not classified as sake 😅Other brewed sake: ‼️ Well, chu-hi? Cocktail? It's like a juice because of the low alcohol content 🍹It's refreshing and I like to drink it with fried food on a hot day 😋. But it's not very cosy, so I won't have it next time 😅.

Good evening, I am posting my second one. This is a new one by LIBROM ✨ on a recent private expedition to Hakata, Fukuoka. BATON TOUCH No.3 Sweet Summer and Japanese Hakka The refreshing aroma of citrus fruits, the gas from the second fermentation in the bottle is pleasant, and the bitterness and spiciness of the Japanese Hakka on the back end make it easy to drink 🍶😋😋😋. It's like a juice, but it's delicious in its own way.

I will post a second one this evening. LIBROM x UNITEDARROWS x Hamadaya Sake Shop Smoothie Sour Sake Banana🍌🍌🍌 It's a craft saké called Smoothie Sour Sake, which is made by LIBROM's doburoku process with a large amount of domestic bananas. ☺️ The aroma and quality of the sake is similar to that of a plum liqueur, but the banana flavor comes through in the aftertaste. When mixed with the sedimentary layer, it turns into a thicker, thicker Doburoku. The creaminess and volume come through, but it is not at all weirdly strong, and the banana flavor is very mild and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋.

Drink and support 📣 Hokuriku sake This time we will have Nene, a sister brand of Shirakiku from Okunoto! So, be careful! The aroma is full-bodied sweetness derived from grains and elegant and clean acidity. When you taste it, it matches the image of the aroma perfectly! The moderate sweetness and elegant acidity are the best match, and it's extremely delicious! It goes well with food, especially Japanese food 👌 In addition, it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, so it goes down smoothly. It was the right decision to buy a bottle! I will drink it with care...

Sangu is the first time in about 2 years of sales. It has a solid body with the power of Aizan, but it feels lighter than the last time I drank it. It also seems a little sweeter... Is it my imagination? I have no complaints, and I still like the same type, but I wonder if my taste buds have changed? When I evaluate it calmly, I can taste the flavor and the sharpness is good. It is not fruity, but it is slightly sweet and well-balanced. It is a good sake!

I went to Tsu city in Mie prefecture on a business trip. I didn't know that Tsu City is famous for eels 😅I had no idea that Tsu City is famous for eels, so I decided to try some sake from Mie Prefecture. I had Saku, Takihama, and Gizaemon, but I don't have any photos, so I'll just post this one. This one has a sake degree of -40 degrees. Sweet 😆 but for some reason it was easy to drink and delicious. ☺️

@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

硬く甘口お酒。 だがアルコール度数19もあり、冷やで口にすると甘味とアルコールの切れが、衝突し複雑な味わいになるのがある意味面白い。 とは言うもの、冷やと燗は向いておらず 思いっきり冷やすのが良い。ロックで飲む事がオススメ。 もともと濃く深い味わいなので、氷の3欠片程度で全く薄くならなずスムースに。あの衝突が仲良し旨口に変化しとても美味しい。
Sake from Hirohata, Himeji Otten: super sweet and Wakaten: super dry. I opened both, either individually or in a blend!

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

The fresh citrus flavor, the herbal feeling created by the addition of pepper, the clean acidity, and the slight carbonation were delicious.
