Koikawa Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi 720ml Rice ： 100% Kame-no-o produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 55 Alcohol : 15.3 My wife entered this sake in a CS historical drama program and won it. It is said that this sake brewery is related to the writer Shuhei Fujisawa. This is also some kind of fate. Now, what does it taste like? It is quite classical. My wife said it was just fine. It is best to warm it up a little.

Japanese>English

100% Kame-no-o. Dry and more refreshing than expected. You can also taste the umami of the rice. Delicious.

Today's beer is also nigori! I started to open the lid to get some of the top clear water at first, but then it started to squirt and agitate. It's like a snow globe! When I drank the stirred sake, it was surprisingly dry. The texture on the tongue is not so much silky as smooth. No, it's smooth. The alcohol content seems to be high,

Jay & Nobby's Tochigi ❤️ Another delicious Tochigi sake on the flight! Ona‼️ This is the first nigori of the season😊. The aroma is subdued ❗️ The taste is like muscat. Silky on the tongue with just the right amount of bitterness Moderate bitterness❗️ The sweetness is also nice and moderate👍

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Mashidaya's special order Ona: ❗️ Fruity aroma and moderate sweetness 😊. The second day, the umami flavor increases and it's good 😄. The bitterness gives it a sharp taste and it goes well with meals too‼️ The Mashidaya collection is all delicious. I recommend it because of its good cost performance👍

2022/06/17 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet apple-like aroma. Fine and rich sweetness like pure honey. The acidity is moderate and full-bodied. It has a very slight bitterness and a long aftertaste. A perfect sake when you want to be healed by sweetness.

Kansai Sake-new year party ㉔ After a short cab ride, we went to Chuin-san, familiar to us from Aladdin-san's post. Inokashira, a sake I had never heard of until now😅. The rice used is Hitogokochi. I think it was fresh, fruity and gently sweet 🤔.

Japanese>English

Classic firm aroma. The strong sweetness is not fruity, but the taste of the rice itself. The flavor is also strong. A direction of Hitogokochi that I did not know.

Japanese>English

Kasuga Sake Brewery Inogashira Sweet, clear, apple-like aroma. The sweet, umami, and sour taste spreads, and the bitterness comes slowly. The lingering aftertaste is rather long 🥰.

Closing out the drinks we had last weekend 😆. Smell good 😌. The Mikotsuru was quite rich and sweet, so I felt a lot of sourness when I took a sip 😳. The more I drank, the more umami and the sourness and aliveness were also good 👍 I can feel the strong aroma of the barrels! Is this a dry wine? and Nobby Well, I guess it's umakuchi. It is labeled 18 degrees, but you don't feel it. I thought it would have been better if it was warmed up to lukewarm 🤔 I thought so later, but I finished it before I realized it 😆. But I drank a little too much from Thursday to the weekend 😓. I'll enjoy a quiet rest day for the first half of this week 😮💨.

Tonight, I'm opening a bottle of the first bottle of Masamune instrument for the weekend dinner because it's so good it's about to run out 💁. Shikishima Light Nigori Nama Sake 2022BY Back on the nigori road a bit, but again it's almost a year old 😅. When I opened the bottle, I could hear the gas escaping with a nice sound. The aroma is mainly chemically aromatic, with a hint of greffle skin and a little bit of maturity. The mouthfeel changes from sourness and citrus bitterness to bitterness, umami, and spiciness. The alcohol content is 18%, so it has quite a punch, but the sweetness and umami from the aging process gives the impression that it is more rounded. It's good that the lees are so cloudy and the umami and richness is so much better 😊.

Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, a robust flavor, and a complex taste. It is dry, yet sharp and sharp. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, but it is enough to keep you from drinking too much. It is so dry that it is difficult to drink too many glasses.

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

🐱 Next up is the summer sake series. They say, "If we start serving them this early, we will run out of sake before the hiyaoroshi season. But if I see it, I will drink it. The label is beautiful. Each sake brewery has its own unique characteristics and is delicious. It was fun to eat it with strong flavored side dishes. Namul and so on😊. Toyoga is run by a couple, so I'm worried that they might quit due to succession issues. I have a fear that they will quit and I drink it when I find it. This blue label was also sold at Shinshu Kurado in Nagano station. The last picture is a cat I saw in front of Nagano station. When I was staring at it, it said "You can take a picture with me" and left. 😅

This is the Aino-sato Junmai-shu from Nanyo Jozo, which is famous for Hanayo-yoku. It's a delicious sake with a good balance of umami and sourness, like a fresh apple. It's delicious 😋 and the price is good too. The price is 1320 yen for a four-pack.

Japanese>English

It has an alu feel to it, but it's delicious with a nice pleasant tartness. I enjoyed it warm last year and will enjoy it slowly again this year.

Japanese>English

Is this a local brand of the same brewery as Hanayo-yoku? The rice is said to be Gohyakumangoku. It's a completely different brew, but it's refreshing and has a gorgeous taste. I had an image of it being classical and hard to drink, but it's a modern sake with impressive acidity. The one I drank recently that is similar is GOGO Gohashi. Gohashi has a muscat-like atmosphere, and this one has a green apple-like atmosphere.

Next, here is a bottle from ‼️ that was Miyajima's recommendation for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai. ‼️ To be honest, I can't really tell the difference 😅 although the richness of the orikagarami is better. I just keep reaching for the ogara-mi 😆. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it better for eating 😋. Either way it's delicious, so this comparison is a lot of fun ‼️4

(*sigh*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Ding's sake 😀. It was a well balanced and delicious sake. The aroma is quietly gorgeous, refreshing rice flavor and sweetness, and a nice crispness. Nice 👍️

❀(*´▽`*)❀🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I got a limited edition Junmai Daiginjo from Ting today 😀. I was drawn to the limited edition label because it seems that from this year they have changed from Daiginjo to Junmai Daiginjo 😁. The aroma is gorgeous 🥰The mouthfeel is smooth 😊The sweetness is moderate but the flavor is beautiful and firm 😘The acidity is sharp to finish 😍This was a very delicious sake.

The smell of carbonation and freshly cut apples is promising. It has a fizziness, soft pear juice, juicy flavor, and a delicious sweetness that is not overpowering. The taste is moderate, with a hint of sourness and bitterness, with a hint of a bitterness in the back. You can drink this as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Sweet and thick. It is juicy and delicious. High spec sake made from 29% rice called So-no-Mai 😳. It should be delicious. Silver lining, a ray of hope, or just a hint of anxiety? Great naming sense 😆.

Refreshing and juicy. It has a delicious gassy taste, so I chilled it to a crisp and tasted it in a wine glass (#^. ^#)
