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 🙌

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...

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 😋😋😋😋.

London Sake Challenge 2019 Winner of the highest "Platinum Award" in the Junmai Sake category A "mellow umakuchi" sake with a soft mouthfeel and mellow rice flavor. It is a perfect food sake to enjoy with meat, cheese, and dishes with sauce.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025④. Sato Shuzo and Kohama booth. This time, all the sake were made with Yamadanishiki. ◉Kohama Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu Nama-shu Fruity aroma. The aroma is fruity, with a slightly bitter chocolate flavor and a rich, mellow flavor. This was my favorite type of sake. Kohama Tokubetsu Junmai Sake A standard sake. It is often served at restaurants that serve funazushi. A good food sake. Junmai Ginjo Namazu Jiyu Read as "ume naru jiyu" (literally, "while being born, it is free"). Nama-zake. I think they said they use a yeast that produces high malic acid. Pleasant acidity with a fruity taste. They also make ume (plum) sake and a blue colored sake that is a ginjo-shu.

I slipped into a restaurant called Kanda Ogawamachi, Ojika-cho, Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, for my second cup. Since we had limited time, we went for the Junmai Ginjo. The first one was refreshing. The first one was refreshing, whereas this one was gorgeous. In any case, it has no peculiarities and goes perfectly with the seafood of the Goto Islands. Anyway, the sashimi and mackerel stick sushi from Hiramasa were delicious.

#Shirokanedai# We were invited to a party of a certain organization in Tokyo 😁. There were many guests who were giving speeches, It took a long time to get to the toast😅. This is the sake that was served for the toast. I heard that this sake is related to the organizer. I couldn't wait to try a sip 😆. The richness and flavor is very clear. I ended up opening 2 glasses of wine before the toast 😅😅.

@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. ‼️

Hyogo is the sake of Himeji City. There are still many sake that I do not know. It is deep~~! It is said to be a mellow dry junmai sake. It is said to be super-harsh, but it did not give that impression. It was rather sweet. By coincidence, the mellow and thick pattern continues. It is also fresh. It is, quite frankly, delicious! It is also good with food. And I think it goes well with ice. I feel like I'm waking up on the rocks (laughs).
