The lid opens quickly. Lactic acidity, savory smell of rice. Apple, umami, refreshing acidity, not too forward sweetness, plum-like acidity swells. Delicious on its own. I am a fan of baby star with hot water, but this time I left it as it is. The taste of the baby star matches the deliciousness of the sake, and the sake envelops it nicely. The combined aftertaste is irresistible. It is so good that I would buy it if I tasted it.

It seems to be a drink that is drunk six months after the first visit to the summer and in conjunction with the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. The smell is a little sweet and oily. The mouthfeel is refreshing. After enjoying the refreshing taste, there is a lingering sourness. It is delicious. When served with a meal, it changes to a watery taste, but the alcohol and flavors make a statement. It has been exorcised and is now safe.

Origuchi Sake-ten suddenly started taking reservations for Wakabisu, so I went to make a reservation last week and received it today. The rice is Kami no Ho. I didn't feel any gas, but there were lots of bubbles in the glass. I was told it was a food type wine, but it was more fruity and pineapple-like than I expected. It's not flashy, but it's delicious with a moderate sweetness and flavor. Wakabisu sake brewery is close to Aoyama-cho station, so you can go there by train 🤔.

Birthday gift sake No. 3 Speaking of comets, Ricaman is a liquor that I don't get a chance to drink very often because I don't go to Ricaman. It has a mild top-fragrance aroma. It is gorgeous and refreshingly sweet on the palate. It is a versatile type of sake that can be enjoyed with food or on its own. For better or worse, it is an excellent Daiginjo. I think it tastes more open and sweeter on the second day than when it is freshly opened. The design of the sake lid looks just like the one from a while ago😅.

Today I chose sushi, sashimi and comet in the aftermath of yesterday's birthday, and since my son and wife went to bed, I had a luxurious dinner by myself😘. The comet I bought for comparison last time was so good that I bought two bottles for comparison this time too 🤣👍. Tomorrow I'm going to go to Gifu and buy Yamamoto Do, which I've longed for. ‼️ I've been looking for it for about three years now, but when I find a store that carries it, it's always sold out, so I'll make sure to get it this year 🥺. So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with almost no bitterness or acidity.

It has a very rich, ripe, sweet, thick, full-bodied taste (¡Ω). And yet it is not cloying. It's the kind of warmed sake I like to drink when it's cold. I'd like to make this a staple in my house because it hits my favorite part of heating sake.

The sake from the west, I thought it would be strong and angular, but it had a mellowness similar to the sake from the east, especially on the second day, and the sweetness was great. It was a small sake brewery according to Google, but it was very good with careful sake.

I have been curious about this one for a long time...Chuai! The slight fruity aroma characteristic of Miyamanishiki, the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the bitterness of the finish! The moderate lingering aftertaste lingers... I'm sipping it with sashimi, hamo tempura, and local edamame (green soybeans)... Yum! Delicious 😋Hatsuchuai!

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku? The taste is lively and fresh, as only a new brew of sake can be. It claims to be dry, but it is not that dry, and has a refreshing finish that is not sweet. It has a good balance and a high cosmetic ministry. I would love to try other brands.

にごり祭りを中断してこちら。オカンおすすめと聞いたので、おせち準備を手伝いながらチビチビ、昭和な感じ。冷では控えめ、スッキリ系で王道辛口酒なのですが、温めると花が開いたように香る。セメダイン香?飲み口も柔らかく旨い、これが燗酒だって感じ。美味しい。
Memorandum of the outside drinking on 12/2 It was delicious(^-^)/

I was able to get some free time during the day, so I went to the gym and worked out for an hour, then went straight to the bathhouse and had a nice, wide bathtub, and then had a long-overdue dinner. I started with a beer and then opened a bottle of "Hanagaki Ginjo" that my father-in-law gave me for New Year's. After the refreshing sweetness that is typical of Hanagaki, the umami flavor spreads out, leading directly to the rich aftertaste. It is relatively sweeter than most of Fukui's local sake, but it has no peculiarities and is easy to drink 😉. I'll have to consume it little by little since my cellar is overloaded with more sake from the New Year's holiday including this one 😁.

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at Nanbu Shuzo Sake Brewery. You can drink it like Calpis soda. It is Calpis for adults.

The one I bought after tasting it at Ikushima Shoten. Slightly effervescent. Melon-like aroma and taste. Bitter and spicy in the latter half. When I tasted it, it tasted sweeter, so I wonder if it will taste sweeter after a while. When I drank it again, it didn't feel spicy on the first day, but sweet and spicy. After a few days, it tastes like cemedine.

The entry is soft with a slight citrus aroma, and the overall taste is dry with a moderate amount of flavor typical of Omachi rice. My wife and son had bought some spicy chicken from Saizeriya's take-out, and we enjoyed it as a snack.

Brewed by Yamaoka Sake Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima Brewed by Yamaoka Shuzo Zuikan Junmai Happo Nigori Nama Shuzake The bubbles are so strong that it is difficult to open. It is hard to open. Excitement is outstanding even before you open it. When you drink it, you can feel the exhilarating carbon dioxide gas You can feel the refreshing carbon dioxide gas coming from the bottle. Super sparkling sake 🍶. AKA carbonated juice for adults 😆.
