One of the sake I wanted to try because of the stylish label❗️ A hint of pear? White peach? It smells like pear or white peach 😅 Elegant sweetness and almost no sourness ❗️ No bitterness or habits, and the aftertaste seems to disappear easily 😄. Overall, it's a gentle sake that goes well with meals. It's a delicious sake that can be drunk easily on its own 👍 Even sake beginners can enjoy it 😄.

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!

Ueno tasted Fujioka sake. It was a blend of matured sake and a good sake, with a moderate drinking experience. It was a truly delicious sake with a flavor gently brewed over time.

It is a local sake, but I drank it for the first time. It had a soft mouthfeel, followed by a bitter taste and a nice sharpness. I learned from the label that it is called "Osaki. According to the explanation by the brewery, this sake is made by growing Miyamanishiki, Aikoku, and Hiyori rice in the company's own rice fields in Osaki, which is undergoing reconstruction.

Japanese>English

It is dry, which is good for a mealtime sake, and goes well with side dishes.

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Hinode Tsuru Junmai Ginjyo Miyamanishiki 60% 15% 720ml 1980yen We also bought a bottle of Honjozo at the brewery, but it was a completely different impression. The Honjozo was a little peculiar. This one is bitter with concentrated flavor and acidity. It is not at all dull. It is not flashy, but rather calm and delicate. The sweetness is graceful and has the taste of a first-class sake. The rice is local Miyamanishiki from Hitachiota. I found out that the heir who returned to his hometown had designed, brewed, and engineered the sake in a new attempt. I guess old-fashioned sake is fine, but only a handful of businesses are at the forefront of it. This sake made me want to support new attempts. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240317

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

On this day, I drove to my wife's parents' home in Saku. When we arrived after a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Tokyo, this local sake was waiting for us. It has an ear of rice on it. I will have a sip. It has the acidity and mellowness of a sake yeast yeast strain, and is dry and crisp. Tiredness melts away.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.

We had a sake from Kyoto at a ryokan in Kyotango City. From the name, I guess it is a sake for experts. It was very dry in both aroma and taste, and was the sake of choice. I was tired from driving, and I was so drunk that I don't remember what I ate or how I tasted. It was a gem that reminded me once again not to drink and be drunk❗️.

There was one that caught my eye, so I had a glass. It was a good, refreshing sake, which I didn't think was a honjozo. Delicious.

Ibigawa! We received this from kino.✨ Thank you kino. for everything 🙇‍♂️ First of all, cold sake! Sweet and delicious! Alcoholic taste like Honjozo! Then hot sake The alcoholic taste is mellowed. And the sweetness and umami are amplified. It's so good! ❣️ With yellowtail sashimi from Harunobu in Niigata! It went really well together 😋.

@sakebar Fukuzo Fire-brewed sake using Fukuoka Prefecture's original yeast called F44. Slightly sweet aroma of 🍍 on the nose. The palate is slightly sweet with a hint of 🍍. The aroma is as if it was made with hana-yosuyu in mind. However, the aroma is weak because it is fire-aged. The sweetness is also weak due to the weak aroma. I am a little curious to see how it would be like if it were a fresh sake. It was delicious ✨🍍.

Japanese>English

A colleague gave me this sake as a gift from Fukuoka. The taste of rice spreads quickly in the mouth with a clean aftertaste. It is the kind of sake I like and I enjoyed it very much.
