Enjoy the day of Risshun. Ahhh, it's delicious.

Japanese>English

I finally opened it. This is the time of year to drink.

Japanese>English

As understood from the label, it is an original label of Hotel Epinar Nasu that probably exists in Nasu Kogen. The aroma is like a picture of green apples🍏. I drank it with cold sake, but it was a little sweet and very refreshing. It is easy to drink because there is no spiciness of alcohol. There is no strong impact on the palate, but it is a delicious sake😄. It goes well with sushi🍣👍. I also really liked the match with yuba😋

My favorite Chiba sake "Iwanoi" is brewed with ultra-hard water (hardness 240). It has the delicious flavor of Omachi and the moderate bitterness and sharpness of hard water! The taste is deep and the acidity is dignified! It can be drunk as it is, or as a food sake...no...food sake🍶 is better 🙆I'm sipping it with boiled gammo and sashimi...🙆I'm sipping it with a side dish.

Japanese>English

A trip to Boshu, a place of binge drinking and binge eating... Sake from Chiba is not to be underestimated! Sweet and fruity aroma, sweet taste, but the rice flavor...enjoy! I'll go to Iwase Brewery tomorrow and get some!

Japanese>English

You can buy it directly from the sake brewery. It is a quaint sake brewery. It is brewed with "So no Mai" sake rice from Chiba Prefecture. The aroma is a hint of rice, and the taste is very fresh. It was brewed with very hard water, so the aftertaste is sharp! I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

Suzukagawa 3

At home. I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. The first bottle I opened this year was Suzukagawa from the same brewery as Saku, which I got at the end of the year. The aroma, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in the mouth are very similar. It wasn't as impressive as the Saku, but it was a delicious gem. At the end of the year, I mainly drank the same brands, but now that the year has started, I would like to try more and more new ones that I have never tasted before. This Suzukagawa is the first step, and I hope it will be a good start. I would like to continue my efforts to develop new sake.

Japanese>English

I was going to buy Junmai from Suzukagawa, but they had a new sake, so I decided to buy this one 😊. Aroma with a beautiful atmosphere. It has a calm freshness and a firm sweetness. Saku's new sake is delicious, but Suzukagawa is also good 😋.

Japanese>English

Aru-soke Ginjo class, which is not found in "Saku". Fruity flavor and a light mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly. It is not only light, but also has a well-defined taste. It is excellent as a food wine and goes well with everything. My partner, who loves "Saku", drank it at a high pace.

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

Japanese>English

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

Light and dry. Light and dry, with a refreshing taste. Momogawa Corporation. Alcohol content 14~15.

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

Aizan 45% polished It goes in quickly and the berry flavor of Aizan comes, and the flavor spreads with just the right amount of alcohol. It is a Daiginjo, but it has a strong umami taste.

It is a nigorizake made from Junmai Junmai Nakakumi. It is quite dry and has a strong bitterness, but as the temperature rises, you can taste the umami sweetness. It is a delicious sake 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake starts very bold with strong and bright flavors of tart apples and butterscotch. There is enough acidity to give this a short dry finish. Wow, the explosion of flavor woke me up. 😳

When I went to Takimoto, I suddenly felt like drinking a small bottle of nigori. It was the first time I bought Tsukitsukatsura since they changed the label to a fashionable one. Strong taste. Shuwa shuwa. I almost gushed out. The alcohol content is high, so the strong alcohol taste comes with a bang. The delicious taste of rice surges in. The sweetness is only slightly perceptible in the latter half of the bottle. Personally, I don't think it goes well with Tsuki no Katsura...

Sagaminada...and my favorite Omachi...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness! It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: .... I'm having a little bit of it...

Japanese>English

Fruity aroma of Omachi...sweet aroma...mouthfeel...ummmm Omachi's sweet rice flavor...nothing to say! Delicious... Sagaminada! It's great on its own... but it goes great with fish... and I'm having it with grilled barracuda... and sipping on it...

Japanese>English

It goes well with fish and seafood... I'm having it with bonito sashimi, bonito tataki, boiled skin, and today, sashimi of mehikari that I got during my expedition to Iwaki, Fukushima... I'm having it with small bites...! Aroma: Slightly smells like seme, yes, Sagaminada...strong bitterness, sweet bitterness! Then it's sharp!

The aroma is refreshing and the taste is slightly sweet and sour with a hint of pineapple. In the second half, you don't feel the sweetness, but the lingering bitterness spreads in your mouth. It's delicious!

Off-line meeting with Jay & Nobby in Osaka 🍶. Jay & Nobby from Tochigi ❤️ No Tochigi sake in the store selection 😂. We started with Kurehaaru and ended with Akizuka 🍶. We got Akatombo and Fusa as a tribute to Tochigi ❤️ 🍶 Akatombo by Sakeran and Fusa by Rafa already posted 🍶 Akatombo's acidity is too subtle for my grandpa 🍶 I prefer Fusa. I prefer the tassel 🍶. Thank you Jay & Nobby for a great time 🍶.

(○´3`)no🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first bottle of Nozomu today😃. I was attracted by the cool blue bottle💙 and the label so I opened the bottle😊. I don't really notice the aroma 🤔. The sweetness and acidity in the mouth is refreshing and the aftertaste is refreshing with a crisp acidity ✨😚. It was a good sake for today's hot day 🥳.

Nutty aroma. Soft, with a bit of rice sweetness, bitterness, umami, and a touch of alcohol, it melts softly and is refreshingly gentle. It is delicious with meals. It is not tiring to drink, and I recommend it as you can drink it tomorrow as well.

Japanese>English

The aroma is like lactic acid bacteria of yogurt. The taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness. This is a good sake to drink while eating 😋. It's so good!

Japanese>English

Weak smell of thin apple slightly sour. Ohhhh good. Sparkling lemon-like acidity with a hint of sweetness, a little heavy on the acidity and rice flavor, then fading away to a gentle chile of bitterness. The acidity is firm and not too thin, and there is a slight sweetness, but the sweetness does not overpower the sourness and it is very refreshing. As you drink it, it becomes too familiar in your mouth and seems to disappear. When warmed up, it tastes sour and makes you drool from the back of your tongue. The second day. Sour, light and refreshing. Too easy to drink.

At home. I️ watched the hot battle for the high school baseball autumn season Kinki tournament at the Wakayama Kimiidera stadium. On the way home, I️ bought my first "Imanishiki" at Sakeya Kagimoto in Wakayama City. I️ bought Nagano Prefecture's sake in Wakayama Prefecture⁉️. And today, I opened the bottle. It has a gorgeous aroma, a smooth mouthfeel, sweetness, umami, and a bit of acidity. It has a fruity feeling in the nose. It is not too sweet and has a moderate dry taste. My favorite team lost, and I was feeling hopeless about the Koshien tournament, so I thought I would be a little burned out, but it was very tasty and comforting. I knew it was Nagano sake, and there is no mistake.

Japanese>English

I've been busy with something lately 😅 But I do drink my sake 😆. I notice I haven't posted anything I drank in August 🤣. I'll post it for the record 🤣🙇‍♂️

A comparison of the hanpukai drinks we had last week: ‼️ I can't even remember which one was better 🤣. Well, it's just for the record 👍
