It was hot today 🥵. On a day like this, it's a good time to take a look at the popular craft sakes‼️ It's not classified as sake 😅Other brewed sake: ‼️ Well, chu-hi? Cocktail? It's like a juice because of the low alcohol content 🍹It's refreshing and I like to drink it with fried food on a hot day 😋. But it's not very cosy, so I won't have it next time 😅.

Good evening, I am posting my second one. This is a new one by LIBROM ✨ on a recent private expedition to Hakata, Fukuoka. BATON TOUCH No.3 Sweet Summer and Japanese Hakka The refreshing aroma of citrus fruits, the gas from the second fermentation in the bottle is pleasant, and the bitterness and spiciness of the Japanese Hakka on the back end make it easy to drink 🍶😋😋😋. It's like a juice, but it's delicious in its own way.

I will post a second one this evening. LIBROM x UNITEDARROWS x Hamadaya Sake Shop Smoothie Sour Sake Banana🍌🍌🍌 It's a craft saké called Smoothie Sour Sake, which is made by LIBROM's doburoku process with a large amount of domestic bananas. ☺️ The aroma and quality of the sake is similar to that of a plum liqueur, but the banana flavor comes through in the aftertaste. When mixed with the sedimentary layer, it turns into a thicker, thicker Doburoku. The creaminess and volume come through, but it is not at all weirdly strong, and the banana flavor is very mild and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋.

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.

Purchased at a local supermarket I didn't have such high expectations, but it has a fresh, fruity flavor with a strong umami. It also has a nice sharpness. It was a cosy evening sake. ❗️

I wonder if it tastes old-fashioned for the label😅. It has a good flavor, but it's also very sour: ❗️ I think it's difficult for people who don't like sake 🙏. The sweetness increases as the temperature goes up. I would like to try it warmed up next time. ❗️ It tastes like it would go well with strong flavored food or oily food 🤔.

Tatsusen is a first. The rice called "Kyo no Hana No.1" is also new to me. The name alone might make you think it is Kyoto rice😅. It seems to be a phantom rice revived by the Tatsusen brewery. Is the aroma a little peculiar? It has a beautiful and elegant fruity taste. It's hard to describe its complexity. It is a light sake. There is a strong sense of extract and grain. The acidity is strong at the end. It has a caramel-like taste. The overall impression is dry. Fruity and dry?

The third shot was Tatsuzumi, Sashiu-san's gift sake. It's so bitter, isn't it? Tatsusen! It is said to be a special blend of Junmai-Nigori and Jungin-Nigori, so I imagined it to be cloudy and heavy, but contrary to its appearance, it is light and easy to drink with a light gasiness and sweet acidity from a clear dry base. This is also a horse! Thank you very much for the meal!

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.

(o^-^o)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I had a bottle of Ippongi from Fukui Prefecture 😀. The aroma is mild, but the taste of the freshly squeezed sake is dry at first, then you can taste the umami of the rice. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great bottle of wine.

Nutty aroma. Soft, with a bit of rice sweetness, bitterness, umami, and a touch of alcohol, it melts softly and is refreshingly gentle. It is delicious with meals. It is not tiring to drink, and I recommend it as you can drink it tomorrow as well.

The aroma is like lactic acid bacteria of yogurt. The taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness. This is a good sake to drink while eating 😋. It's so good!

Weak smell of thin apple slightly sour. Ohhhh good. Sparkling lemon-like acidity with a hint of sweetness, a little heavy on the acidity and rice flavor, then fading away to a gentle chile of bitterness. The acidity is firm and not too thin, and there is a slight sweetness, but the sweetness does not overpower the sourness and it is very refreshing. As you drink it, it becomes too familiar in your mouth and seems to disappear. When warmed up, it tastes sour and makes you drool from the back of your tongue. The second day. Sour, light and refreshing. Too easy to drink.

I had wanted to drink it for a long time, but the timing was never quite right... The manager said it was his favorite drink in the restaurant! It is a pale yellow color with silver tints and a hint of green. It has a spicy top note with a hint of alcohol, but the aroma is very refreshing, perhaps because of the acidity. When you drink it, the slightly carbonated texture on the tongue is pleasant. There is not much noticeable aroma, but the acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel. It may not have much sweetness to begin with, but the acidity helps to make it dry. Despite its dryness, it has a strong flavor, which is probably due to the strong umami that can be tasted from start to finish. Dry sake is usually considered "spicy," but perhaps because of the strong umami, it does not feel too spicy. Interestingly, it is a sake that does not have much bitterness, which may be why it is so light and easy to drink despite its 17% alcohol content. This is seriously very, very good! I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I think it's a must-try for sake drinkers who like umami!

Low-polished & sake yeast yeast As expected, it has a strong punch! The aftertaste is also bitter and punchy. ‼️ It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a citrusy bitterness at the finish. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a unique and delicious sake with many different expressions. ❣️

Rice used is Yamadanishiki After opening the bottle, I wondered if it would have been better if I had let it sit longer. I regret it after opening the bottle. Even as it is, it has a great balance of fruity and powerful, with a clean dry finish. ‼️ However, it seemed to have a lot of potential to improve! It was delicious, but it was a waste of time!
