Saku City. This is from last year, as it is released in September every year. It tastes like a matured rice wine. Even if it is sweet, it is good. The label tells you what kind of sake it is, which is nice for check-ins.

8.5 points (Wife 8.5 points) Sake Brewer : Ohga Shuzo, Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture (Fukuoka Prefecture's oldest brewery) Rice : Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 60 Alcohol percentage : 16 Sake Degree : Undisclosed Acidity : Not disclosed A gift from a friend in Fukuoka who came to Fukuoka Airport to see me off (purchased at Todoroki Sake Shop). Slightly melon-like finish The same subdued, fruity aroma as the first sip, with a hint of vanilla and a hint of azuki beans, soft sweetness and umami of rice spreading with a refreshing acidity, and finishing gently with a hint of bitterness and a slight spiciness from the alcohol. Elegant and well-balanced, it is easy to pair with meals, and is also delicious on its own. My friend's nickname is Tama-chan and his wife's maiden name is Izumi, so he chose this sake as a pun. It went well with Italian-style grilled salmon with foil, stewed sweet potato, chilled tofu, and squid cod roe.

Japanese>English

The oldest sake brewery in Fukuoka, Ohga Shuzo, has created a GABAGABAHEY raw sake. At the first sip, the fresh and rich rice flavor typical of nama-shu spreads. It is certainly a sake that you might drink with the governor (^-^), and it is delicious. It seems to be a limited sake, so if you are interested, please come early~.

Japanese>English

The fourth cup is a "Tamadezumi" unpasteurized sake! (First picture, left side) The sweetness is even richer than the previous "Ooga Unfiltered Nama"! However, as you savor it, the acidity and pungency slowly come from the back, along with a hint of shiitake mushroom-like aroma. The coffee milk-like aftertaste is impressive ✨.

20240427 Stable deliciousness(*^^*)Sweet and tasty slight bubbles 🍶. This is definitely delicious! Thank you very much!

Japanese>English

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

Japanese>English

🥂 Fresh and gorgeous aroma 😌. Umami and acidity harmoniously spread in the mouth 🤤. It was a very delicious junmai namaishu 👍

Sometimes a cup of sake, a Niigata souvenir 🍶Classic taste, but with a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste 😋Thanks for the delicious taste!

Japanese>English

Ofuku Sake Brewery is located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, near the entrance to the former Yamakoshi Village. This kind of I have often drunk it in a glass one-cup cup, but it is now in an aluminum can. There may be a difference in the mouthfeel of the container, but the taste is a classic, slightly umami-ish standard sake, but it feels smooth. The second image is a view of terraced rice paddies (tanaike) in the former Yamakoshi Village.

Japanese>English

Ofuku Masamune Junmai Daiginjo. On September 20, I participated in the Echigo Nagaoka Sake-no-Ten (Echigo Nagaoka Sake Festival) and stayed overnight in Nagaoka. The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, it tastes sweet and sour like white grapes. Sweet and not too sweet...the exquisite sugar content keeps my sake cup full. Well, however, it was truly a sake-soaked time. I drank so much yesterday that I gave up tasting in the hotel's guest lounge. And today we drank again at the Yoshinogawa museum and at the Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. That was fun.

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Aged one year 🍶. A blend of Fukunoka x Yumenoka x Omachi✨. I don't really feel the sense of maturity, It has a mild and calm taste. Best served lukewarm 😋.

Japanese>English

This is my first brand of sake: ❗️ A blend of Yumeko, Fukunoka and Omachi ‼️ I can't imagine what it tastes like🤔. No aroma, gentle taste but you can feel the richness as it passes down your throat❗️ It has no particular quirks and has a cohesive taste. I enjoyed drinking it 😊.

Japanese>English

I was called to work in Tokyo. I don't like cities. The National Diet building is beautiful with gingko trees in full color. I was surprised that it didn't smell like ginkgo. It is as expected. I went to a restaurant whose name I remember for the first time in a long time. There are a lot of gingko nuts, so I chose the ones I don't think I would buy by myself. Oh, it's full and sweet. It has a nice sharpness👍It has a nice Fukushima feel to it.

36Guardians⚔️ I've had a nice change of tastes, and was recommended to me by the liquor store ✨. It used to be a very traditional and strong flavor, but now it's a very refreshing and crisp taste, The price is 500 yen (), but it's not bad. The price is also 500 yen (⤴️), I guess the price is 500 yen (), but the taste is acceptable 😋. But I think it peaks on the first day it is opened. After that, it might be better to drink it warmed up.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I miss the 36th person. I used to buy it at my favorite liquor store about 20 years ago. It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. The acidity and bitterness give it a taste of white wine. The sweetness increases as the temperature rises after a little time. It is also good as a food sake.

Japanese>English

A sake from Yamagata. It is brewed with Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma of Daiginjo. It has a clear taste of light and dry. I felt it was very easy to drink with good mouthfeel. I want to drink more of it! A gem that makes you want to drink more.
