Mellow sake 🍶. Nagano Ueda Railway Journey🚃Day 3 From Ueda, take the Ueda Dentetsu Bessho Line🚃 to Bessho Onsen (Bessho Hot Springs) ♨️ Lunch at the diner that was reflected in the setting of the 18th film Otoko wa Tsuraiyo. The aroma of the food was very strong. But it is sweet and gentle, not harsh. It has just the right amount of maturity. Goes well with Nozawana. It softens the salty taste of Nozawana. The chicken gizzard and boiled pork are also delicious 😋 I'm so glad I found a hidden gem restaurant 😆. Sanyuken @ Bessho Onsen 20240907

Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

Mildly refreshing aroma 🥂. Soft and juicy fruit on the palate 😌 Very well balanced, high alcohol content but dangerous to drink more and more 🤤

I left it in the hallway for 3 years. For various reasons, you don't see it much these days, but I used to drink it often at izakaya (Japanese style pubs). I tried it at various temperatures, but it was best drunk hot. It has a mild taste and a nice umami and slightly spicy flavor. I wonder if it can be served chilled if it hasn't been made long enough.

Smells like caramel, baked apples, ripe. Yellowish liquid. Taste of caramel and a bit of sweetness and acidity. I opened the bottle as soon as I bought it, but the shipment was a year ago.

Ota Sake Brewery in Shiga, which brews Doukan. This is my first time to try this brand 🍶. It is a rich, robust, unadulterated sake. It is easy to drink without any peculiarities. It has a mild sweetness.

A little sweeter than Miyakanume? In short, both are delicious!

I remember the last time I drank Miyaganbai, it was delicious 🤔. I knew there was a sake collaboration between my neighborhood liquor store and the Kanmei Brewery, but I put it off thinking I could always buy it. But it's plum season and I finally bought it (almost, coyly). Oyusaki Quartet I heard that the name "Uguisaki" is a play on Osaki, where the cold plum trees are located, or plum blossoms and bush warblers (Uguisu), and many other things! At first, you can taste a little sourness. It's just a little bit sour, but it's not too much. The sweetness is soft and lingers on the tongue. Maybe a little more refreshing than the Miyakanume I had before (not sure I remember that 😆). Fresh, fruity and a little different from the gentle sweetness of rice. It is also beautiful and delicious 😋. On the second day, it seems a little more sour. And sweetness too. As an added bonus, here's a picture of the plums

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to try it. It is a sake limited to a certain liquor store in Fukuoka. This is very tasty. The aroma is not so much. The taste is juicy and melon-like. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, which is also good. If you come to Fukuoka, I recommend you to buy it 🍶.

Japanese>English

☀️ This is the first time I've seen a drink without a label 🏷️. Instead it has a ribbon🎀 which makes it unique 🤩. There is an initial feeling of alcohol, but it is quickly followed by a sweetness. Soft sweetness with a melon flavor. It can be fluffed up as it is. A sake that tastes as unique as it looks 🍶.

Japanese>English

Leaving the new sake festival, we went to the second restaurant. The second party was at a soba restaurant on the restaurant floor of Amu Plaza Kumamoto, adjacent to the station. This soba restaurant has a great selection of sake 😁. The price is... no way 🤣. The second drink was Shashaemon I had this sake at this restaurant before, but I couldn't remember what it tasted like, so I ordered it. The moment I put it in my mouth, the gorgeous aroma spreads and sweetness, sourness, umami, and spiciness all come at once 😳. This feeling is like no other 😁. You can enjoy this on its own or as a food sake 🥰.

The moment I opened it, I could smell the sweet aroma! I thought it would be sweet, but it was sharp and spicy! As expected of Onikoroshi...! But I still feel that the sweet aroma softens the spiciness. It's a fun drink 😁.

Rice used is Fumei Purchased at Fukuoka Airport There was also a limited edition sake for the airport, but I'll get back to that later. It's more like a sour or a juice, or something like that. It's not too sweet, so it's easy to drink. Depending on the food and the situation, I think this is also possible...

Japanese>English

Not actually sure when I drank this but I’m pretty sure I drank it with Grace and Eddy. I remember it being floral and refined, not surprising considering it’s a JG!

Hakata Hyakunenkura Shiboritate Junmai-shu Namaishu 17% 70%. Purchased at a brewery in Hakata. It was a beautiful facility with a lot of attention to detail for tourism. Many foreigners visit the brewery. This Shiboritate Junmai sake has a strong raw sake flavor. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel lactic acidity, astringency like grape skin, and spiciness in that order. The body is strong and very drinkable. It has a strong body and is very satisfying to drink. The sake brewery was more solid than I expected. If I visit Fukuoka again, I will stop by. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20231119

Downhill Sake Story Event 3) From the Itami Laematsu Sake Brewery, established in 1688, we drank "Laematsu" Itamigo Special Honjozo, a highly prestigious sake for the Shogun. It has the flavor of honjozo and a smooth throat. It is also good as heated sake. A joint sake brewing song was performed. The song was sung in slightly different tunes at each brewery. It was a nice touch. The symbol of Kobe, the Port Tower🗼, is closed for renovation work.

Japanese>English

When I poured it into a sake cup, I was surprised by its banana-like aroma! When I drank it, I was surprised again by its melon-like flavor! And the taste is still dry! I found an interesting sake.

Purchased when I went to Itami after New Year's. It went well with my meal.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.
