After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

Haven't had sake in ages! Unfiltered raw sake, fruity and delicious. I would like to drink this sake again.

Japanese>English

Soten Genshu Winter-only Souten, full and rich flavor Polishing ratio 55% / Alc.16% / rich and fruity On the way back from Eiji Yoshikawa Memorial Museum. In Eiji Yoshikawa's study, where I recall today's walk while sipping sake, the coldness of the Seto tiles contrasted with the heat of a person submerged in creation, and the presence lingering on the desk seemed to still be alive. The ingenuity with which he made the beams of the main house, the nail coverings, and even the plum boards, is the essence of craftsmanship itself, rather than that of a writer. Then came the Yaguchi exhibition. The brightness of the colors and patterns echoed in the sake, and I felt the breath of an era when Ome was once filled with the sound of looms. Each tsurushibe decoration held a memory of the industry and a prayer for revival. Finally, I stroked the white plaster of the storehouse and thought about the wish for prosperity inscribed on the 1847 building tag. Everything I saw today was the result of the years that the land and people have accumulated over the years.

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

Japanese>English

Sweet and sour yet mellow, light yet tasty, and very drinkable! It is a delicious sake both as a mealtime drink and on its own. It is so delicious! This is a collaboration product with ''York Benimaru'', a local supermarket in Fukushima Prefecture. It is sold at Benimaru, so you should definitely try it!

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used: 100% "Yumeko" from Aizu Rice polishing ratio: 60%, Sake meter rating: +5 Acidity : 1.2 Alcohol percentage : 14 Seller: Saito Sake Shop (Honmachi, Chitose City) When opened Slightly gassy Slight muscat and melon-like overtones The same mild aroma as the first rise, with the aroma of rice malt, the soft umami of rice and sweetness spreads with a rather firm bitterness, and it quickly finishes with the lingering umami of rice. It is fresh and tasty with a good amount of sweetness for its sake strength, but the slight bitterness tightens it up. It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own. This is one of the bottles I harvested in Chitose on the way to work. This one might be the main one! It went well with sagari with sundiner sauce, squid ring salad, and stew.

This is my first New Year's Day back in my hometown Osaka. This year, my parents invited us to their department store Osechi. My sister and her husband brought me a bottle of Okutanba as a celebratory sake. You can feel the sweetness of the rice in the beginning, but it changes to a dry taste in the middle to the end. It is a perfect match for the richly flavored Osechi and fatty yellowtail sashimi. It is said that the sake degree is +5 (dry), but I feel that it is +2~3 (slightly dry?). I guess. Anyway, it was a delicious sake. Thanks to my sister and her husband!

Japanese>English

The sake my sister and her husband served me at New Year's was so good that I decided to pick up another brand from the same brewery. Okutanba Junmai Ginjo. This is Yamana Shuzo's regular sake. As stated on the label, the brewery has a long history, having been founded in Kyoho. The Edo period (^_^;) is amazing. It was my wife's fourth birthday today. I really wanted to go out to eat, but the situation was such that we had a takeout party at a yakitori restaurant and drank at home. Thank you for your continued support. I had a cold glass of sake. Oh, dry? It's been a while since I've had a dry, crisp sake. Even though it's light and refreshing, you can still feel the taste of the rice right after you put it in your mouth. At the same time, there is a sense of alcohol, but the aftertaste is short, so it gives a refreshing impression. According to the brewery's website, it has a sake strength of +1. ＋Hmm? +1? It's not dry, is it? Once again, I realized that the accuracy of my tongue sensor is disappointing (tears). Well, everyone has their own way of feeling.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Okutanba 🍶The aroma is subdued, the sake is light and clean, with a soft sweetness and a short, sharp finish 😊It goes well with Kaisendon, another bottle I want to drink again ✨.

This is also in the Co-op catalog. The moment you put it in your mouth, it's refreshing and mild, but in the latter half, a fruity feeling comes. It has a strong feeling for its strength.

I was curious about it in an obfuscation kind of way, so I bought a trial. It's been sitting in my cellar for over a year for some reason, but let's see how it tastes 👀. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it was moist and had a peachy aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, just like the name "Sarari". It is just as moist and slightly sweet as the aroma, and tastes just like a peach! The slightly green and sour taste gives the taste a hint of Mac's pickles 🍔. I didn't know that "chirp" means "birdsong. I've gained another piece of knowledge via sake 😌.

Tasted and purchased at a store sale🍶. First time I've seen this brand. I wonder if anyone can read this from the beginning 😅.

It was so hot today😅. "It's my first time drinking Kamikame no Nigori Sake! I chilled it and opened the bottle! Turn it a little, push it, and close it right away! Repeat for about 10 minutes! I like that process a lot, it's fun😌. I love the way it mixes together✨. 11 degrees alcohol! Let's take a sip! It's "light" on the palate. It's "light" on the palate, and you can drink a lot of it, very good laugh! In the mouth, there's a slight carbonation, and the flavor spreads! Then it's sharp! No! It's delicious! It was also perfect as a food sake 💁🏼️♂!

Japanese>English

No prior knowledge, small bottle to take home. There was a note on the bottle warning when opening it, but there has never been a case where the bottle has been opened and spilled. Well, this time too, I completely underestimated it because it was a small bottle... When you twist the cork, the bottle rises at once and you have to tighten the cork in a hurry. After repeating this several times, the bottle was finally opened. It has a sweet aroma characteristic of cloudy sake, and a white cloudy sparkling taste, but when you drink it, you will find that the sweetness is very moderate. It has a dry mouthfeel, and I think it is suitable as a food sake. The acidity, which I personally dislike, does not bother me, and it is a refreshing nigori sake.

Here are the comments from the sake shop While it has a light, dry tone, it has a richness and umami that can be felt well. It is a sake with a good balance of five tastes.

This sake was a gift from a junior colleague (son of a liquor store owner). It has been a long time since I've had a classic, THE old man's dry sake. There is a sweetness of rice in the back, and it is refreshing. Not bad. After the sweet and juicy sake, we had a glass of So-no-Sato. Not bad. I've only been at work for a little while after the new year, but the three-day weekend is wearing on me. Sake heals me 😄.

Japanese>English

It was a gift from a junior colleague at work. I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor. It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊. It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌 I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki. The rice polishing ratio is 35%, is it the flagship sake of the brewery? It has a solid ginjo aroma, and while it is basically light and dry, it also has a mild sweetness. There is little miscellaneous taste and the mouthfeel is good. The aftertaste has a good accent of alcohol and a solid flavor. Overall, it is a good sake with a cohesive taste that makes you realize again that the alcoholic version is better for the Daiginjo class.

I had a drink with my boss at Sennariya near my house after work. We drank too much that day, and I remembered that I had taken a picture of it by now. I think I drank it before...(^o^;) Well, I must have ordered it because I remembered it was good. I'm sure it's not dry from my taste. After that, I had a few drinks, but only Aouda took a picture. The next day I had a hangover. I need to drink more maturely.

Today we had a little late lunch after visiting Yame, Setaka, and Yanagawa. While waiting for the eels to be steamed in the "seiro" in Yanagawa, we checked in at Kitaya in Yame, which we had visited in the morning. The third photo is the main building of Kitaya. They were selling sake, but no tasting was available, unfortunately 🥲. Well, the top aroma is fruity sweet. In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness and a refreshing acidity. A little sweet and not at all like Yamahai 🙄 but it was delicious ✨🍶.
