Sweet aroma. Fresh and sweeter than expected. Unique sweetness like candy. Unique but interesting and delicious. The sweetness is like a floppy candy. More fruity than I expected, too. I think the Asahi Nikki Jusui Brewing I drank in the past also had a unique sweetness.

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

It has a mild sweetness. It's not too sweet, but it's not too strong. But it's 18% so you'll get drunk 😜.

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

Event. Sake Fair 2024. The character "zanshin" evokes the image of a powerful sake 🍶💪. Who wrote these characters? I asked him, and he said he is the head priest of a nearby temple 😄. It's a true local love ❤️ It is a sake. The color is clear. The taste is nutty 🥜 sweet. Mild on the palate. Little ginjo aroma. The sweetness continues until the aftertaste. Sake with a sweetness that seeps through.

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 🙏.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

It was full of sake feeling. Just like the jacket? Sake that is just like the jacket! I don't know how to describe it. I don't know how to describe it, but although it is called Daiginjo, it is more like a heavy drink when you want to drink sake rather than a tasty one. Of course, it was a delicious bottle.

Dare to say 88% rice polishing ratio. Amber body. The taste of grapes, like a noble rot wine, is a shock to the senses. The aroma spreads softly at the end of the bottle. Experimental and elegant.

Like Minatoya Toisuke, this is another brand of Murasuke that I bought because I liked it after tasting it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. There are many liquor stores that sell Murasuke in Tokyo, but I had never seen this brand before. As its name suggests, it's low in alcohol content at 13%, so it's easy to drink 😚. When you drink it cold, it's light and refreshing, with no hint of bitterness. It's delicious in its own right, but when it's chilled at a cooler temperature, it becomes sweeter and more impressive. I liked it best when it was chilled in the wine cellar at about 15 degrees Celsius 😄. It's interesting to see how it changes with the temperature, but in any case, it's a different direction from the sweet and sour fruity Murasuke. I think it's a fine sake that won't go with any snacks 😋
