I didn't go to the brewery, but I haven't seen Kyushu Chrysanthemum in Tokyo either, so this will be a first for me. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, there is a slight bitterness and a strong sweet umami taste that is typical of nama sake. This is a honjozo sake, but it is a very good sake that does not feel like it has been alkaloated. The price is also very reasonable at around 1,300 yen for a five-pack. In Tokyo, you only see gougo bottles of kenrishi or shochu 🤔. I wonder if it is more common in the west?

This is a new release from the sake brewery closest to my house. I was curious about this sake because it was made by locally grown Omachi, so I bought it. It's rather refreshing and a bit lacking in the traditional sake taste 🤔. I tried it warmed up on the instagram of the liquor store where I bought it, and it was great! The flavor opened up and it tasted great. I'm glad to see local sake trying different things 👍Thank you for the food 🙏.

Purchased at a liquor store near Kokura Station The label with a strong sense of specialness caught my attention. I left it at room temperature for about 5 months, missing the fact that it needed to be refrigerated. (immediately after opening the package) Drink it cold. Slightly yellowish but clear Strong aroma of maturity with sweetness. Sourness on the palate The palate is immediately filled with a richness and at the same time, a strong dryness appears. The aftertaste is medium. The aftertaste is surprisingly light. The rich taste is very tasty. Although it is rich, it goes well with sashimi.

I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

夏らしくキレがあり爽やか。 でもアルコール感強めで満足感があります。
The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

Soft and mildly mellow. In an age when sharpness is at its peak, it has a certain dignity.

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.

The last bottle I brought back from Ueda. It was sweet in the mouth! Then it was immediately spicy! It's like a roller coaster with extreme tastes. I think it's a roller coaster.

A gift from a colleague from Ueda City. One sip, and first of all, it is beautiful! Elegant aroma and mellow, not too sweet. A taste for adults? It tastes like an adult.

Tonight, I'm back at work after GW, but naturally I'm not very excited 🥴. This one is brewed with Dewa Sanzu and Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The aroma is mild without being showy. It is a versatile sake with a soft sweetness and acidity of cucumber and herbs and a clean aftertaste that is also very sake-like 😊. It is as delicious as the rumors say 😋😋😋😋😋.

Tonight, here is a very popular project sake from Yamagata 💁. La Jomon Shoumon Koji Triple Masamune Nama Sake 2023BY✨. I think it is safe to say that this is the second most popular sake after Jyushidai. I think it is. Well, it's hard to buy and sells out quickly 😫 Now, this is the first Koji Sanbai Masozo-shu Nama-shu in my house. As you know, the specs are as perverted as you can imagine 🤣 it is made with Dewanosato x 66% koji ratio x 66% milled rice ratio x Kyokai No.6 yeast 🤣. The taste is very pleasant with the strong acidity of triple the koji, and it is easy to drink. It is not white koji, but it reminds me of a certain cat sake 😺.

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this one to accompany my dinner of kochi and kampachi sashimi and squid cod roe 💁. La Jomon Six Nama Sake 2023BY✨ We happened to have a lot of Six Nama Sake on hand, so we'll have a quick bottle. When I poured a glass of chilled sake, it had the usual mild uri aroma, a beautiful acidity, a little sweetness and citrusy flavor like Pocari, and the second half was a mix of astringent, bitter, and spicy flavors. It can be served alone or as a mealtime drink. I'm going to try the "Murasame" that some of the connoisseurs in the area are trying later 🙌

Rice used is unknown. According to the owner of the sake shop, the sake is aged for three years, but there is no strong sense of aging, and it is a dry junmai-shu with a good acidity. It is a dry junmai-shu with a lot of acidity. The sweetness that spreads fluently and the spicy astringency in the latter half are very unique. After a few days, it becomes more crisp and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd like to have more of a woody or smoky flavor. Either way, it's not a type that will appeal to everyone. The mainstay of this brewery is Yamahai brewing, so it will be interesting to see how peculiar it is.
