This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Japanese>English

It was purchased at the Yukiguni Shuho Kanazawa-ya Sake Shop and was fire-aged in August 2021. It was a bottle that had been sitting in the refrigerator. It is brewed with Hachitan-nishiki grown under contract with four farmers in Kakizaki, Joetsu City, and sold year-round. Polishing ratio is 55%. Alcohol level is 15 degrees Celsius. Sake degree is +3 and slightly dry. Hachitan-Nishiki is a sake rice that has both a rich and crisp flavor. It is said to have an aroma that sometimes reminds one of green grass. When opened, the aroma is fresh and elegant, with no hint of sweetness. When poured into the sake cup, it is smooth and has a slightly yellowish flavor. Taking a sip, it is smooth on the palate, with a light, dry taste spreading through the mouth with a slight sourness, but there is a lingering aftertaste with richness and gorgeousness at the back. It is a little dry, which is my recent favorite, and it is a good bottle to be served well chilled. Delicious 😋.

I was curious about this local sake from Kakizaki, Joetsu City. It seems to be a summer sake, but it is a very tasty one with a refreshing acidity like grapefruit and a clear sweetness. The label is also fashionable and would be a good choice for beginners. 🙆‍♂️

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The other day, when I was in Okunoto on business, I was given a bottle of freshly brewed sake at Tsuruno Sake Brewery, the brewery that produces Taniizumi 👍I asked the cashier to put a label on it and brought it back 😙. Slightly melon-like aroma 😊Smooth on the palate, with a refreshing umami and acidity 😚Smooth, clean finish 🥰Overall, not flashy, but would go well with any dish 🥳👍.

Japanese>English

VOICE: 🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I got my second hiyaoroshi bottle of Taniizumi from Ishikawa Prefecture 😀 It's my first sake from this brewery 🍶The toji-san seems to be a woman 😀. The aroma is gentle 😊and when you drink it, the mouthfeel is gentle 😚It has a nice calm flavor and richness 🥰It also has a nice sharpness 🥰It is easy to drink and match with any food 🤩.

Japanese>English

I've always wanted to drink Taniizumi! I wasn't sure which one to choose, but on the other hand, it looks like the regular sake is harder to find, so I chose this one😃! It's a regular sake, but apparently it's Fukuroshibori! The first sip gave me the impression that it was a traditional sake☺️. The first sip was like a traditional sake ☺️ I could taste the strong grain flavor but then the sweetness and mellowness came through 😚 it wasn't dry 😆.

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste. The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries. Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years. Founded in 1902 It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

@Digital Rural Tavern Kanmasu This is Gekiyumi from Nagurayama Brewery. The top aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, refreshing sweetness with a hint of yogurt-like acidity. It is well-balanced and delicious. The second picture is the brewery of the Nagurayama Sake Brewery in Aizuwakamatsu City. It is also located in the middle of a residential area. It was about a 15-minute walk from Miyazumi Meizumi Brewery.

This is the second of the three bottles I bought at the supermarket the other day. This is the first time I've had this brewery. I was wondering why there was only one bottle left at the store, but I was curious, and I was going to buy one bottle of Eikoh, but I picked it up. It's sweet but easy to drink ☺️.

Introducing a izakaya with an austere, connoisseur-like atmosphere. I was interested in this sake because a guide recommended it on a TV program. I was curious about this sake. ‼️ I heard it is very popular sake in Niigata. I didn't know that😅 It has no aroma. ❗️ It has no habit and it's refreshing and easy to drink. It is easy to drink. ❗️ I don't feel the umami and sweetness when it's cold so I'd like to try it heated next time 😊. I would like to drink it heated next time 😊.

Drink and support 📣 Hokuriku sake This time we will have Nene, a sister brand of Shirakiku from Okunoto! So, be careful! The aroma is full-bodied sweetness derived from grains and elegant and clean acidity. When you taste it, it matches the image of the aroma perfectly! The moderate sweetness and elegant acidity are the best match, and it's extremely delicious! It goes well with food, especially Japanese food 👌 In addition, it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, so it goes down smoothly. It was the right decision to buy a bottle! I will drink it with care...

Tomiikiku's local sake ministry️ popular at Haneya. This sake is available in supermarkets😊. The traditional method of production is the same as that of Haneya. Different tastes with different vectors 😋. This sake is characterized by sweetness and umami, not dryness. The common feature is a powdery taste like Kamishinko. It's not always available and not always cheap. I've been through it all along😅lol

Japanese>English

As expected! Apparently it's only available at Seven. 300ml costs about 700 yen. It's shocking that this can be found in a convenience store! It's juicy, refreshing, and slightly sizzling. It's not alcoholic, and it's gone in a flash!

Japanese>English

It's not as good as the Haneya award-winning sake I drank the other day. but the sweetness and elegant taste was similar😄. It was delicious and I drank it at a good pace.
