I opened a bottle of Banzairaku Daiginjo Kosake, which was a gift from a friend 😀 The aroma is that of a royal sake. The taste is quite strong. It's the second time I've had it, but it's a difficult taste to describe. Tomorrow I'll try it at room temperature.

Amber colored sake 🍶. This sake had a strong (heavy) flavor. It also has a sweetness, but the bitter taste comes in the aftertaste. I think it's delicious, but if you like refreshing sake, it might not be for you.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

The ones that are not on the menu. There is a Chiyoda Kura and a Yukihikoyama, both unopened. I decided to go with Chiyoda Kura because I thought I could buy Yukihikoyama at a liquor store in my neighborhood. The taste is moderately sweet and tasty with a summery, crisp, spicy flavor. The impression is that it is quite sharp and clean.

The aroma is modest for a daiginjo❗️. It has a clean taste, but It has a unique sweetness and aroma 😅 I wonder if it tastes like fukunohana❓ I guess it's good to drink as a food sake. It's a raw sake so I'd like to let it sit for a while and see how it tastes. I'm hoping for a change in taste❗️😊.

At the tasting. It was sweet like a rich ripe fruit. It was good, but the one that was for sale seemed to have different specifications (I think it was a direct brew of special junmai?). No purchase.

Fukui Sake 🍶. While waiting for the Thunderbird on a business trip to Fukui, I went to a bar and compared three different kinds of sake. I had three kinds of sake selected on my own. All were delicious and it was hard to choose one over the other, but the Manazuru sake was my favorite! I wish I could have had more!

Second one today. My father-in-law stocked it on a mountain climbing trip to Fukui. My brother-in-law said, "First it's "gah," then it's "su," then it's "un-cha-cha-cha," and so on. Sorry for all the onomatopoeia. I didn't understand it at all. I didn't understand it at all.

Doburoku from Kurume, Fukuoka Alcohol: 6 degrees Celsius Quite viscous and rich in flavor! It was served with a sprinkling of sansho (Japanese pepper), which was delicious! I was surprised to know that there is a way to drink sake with sansho directly 🤔. And you would never guess it was 6 degrees alcohol! Very fresh as part of the course!

At home. First time drinking alcohol. I finally got to know how to read it. When I first tried it as a hiya, I felt a bit of alcohol in the throat, so I tried it again with the recommended lukewarm temperature... it was beautifully mellow and the sweetness and umami increased❗️. I was impressed by the sweetness and deliciousness of the rice, and the Tochigi sake.

Sake made by the Tonoike Sake Brewery in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture. It tastes like green apples on the palate. It is fruity and refreshing and was drunk with a glass of wine🍷. It was delicious. ‼️

Iwao Junmai Ginjo 15-16% 55% 720ml 1747yen Delicious sake at room temperature. Dry, umami, stable. +You can feel the sharpness at +5. I like Iwao a lot. I've been to the Iwao brewery, or rather to the company, and I fell in love with the Showa-esque atmosphere of the place. Wai no Yao. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230410

Purchased after being recommended by Takahashi Yo Shoten. It is a blend of sake made by the previous toji that remained in Mr. Takai's brewery, known for its rocks. Hot sake. It can be drunk at room temperature, but a slight sense of maturity can be felt. The sense of maturity is also noticeable, but when warmed up, the restrained flavor and aroma blooms and fills the mouth with a full flavor. Very tasty!

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

This Sake is very interesting. It has a citrus flavor like grapefruit. The flavor really cleanses the pallet.
Junmai nama-shu YAMADANISHIKI 90 Rice polishing ratio 90%❗️ This is the challenge sake of Michiko Urasato, the female toji of Yui. Yamada Nishiki is brewed at 90% polishing ratio without polishing. The taste of the rice is rich and intense❗️, but there is a light fizzy feeling. There is also a little bit of orage mixed in. This is why it is milder and softer in the mouth than I expected. The aftertaste is refreshing. It's amazing. Michiko Urasato, Toji 💡. I had it with ginger yaki, and it was delicious. The sake and side dishes go well together😆. I've heard that if you let it sit for a few days, you'll get a different taste of the rice, so I stopped at halfway today. I heard it's also good at different temperatures.
