@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

Japanese>English

Hyogo is the sake of Himeji City. There are still many sake that I do not know. It is deep~~! It is said to be a mellow dry junmai sake. It is said to be super-harsh, but it did not give that impression. It was rather sweet. By coincidence, the mellow and thick pattern continues. It is also fresh. It is, quite frankly, delicious! It is also good with food. And I think it goes well with ice. I feel like I'm waking up on the rocks (laughs).

Dry! The taste is dry and the aftertaste is smooth. Very tasty.

Ikebukuro with friends on Wednesday. It was not an all-you-can-drink party. Sake was my friend's choice as we sunk into the sake swamp. It was my first Hakuba Nishiki. Nice choice. It tasted like it would be ranked high in the Nigorin picks. It was fresh, fruity, sweet and refreshing. The upper half of the label is European and the lower half is Japanese, which gives it a Showa-era feel.

Have you heard of YATSUDOKI? It seems to be a high-end version of Chateraise, but I happened to stop by and found some fresh sake! I got it anyway! It's relatively light, and you can drink it nice and smooth!

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka⑤. The booth of "Kaze no Sato" in Ehime. After suffering tremendous damage from the torrential rains in western Japan in 2018, the brewery decided to revive itself with the support of local people, fellow members of the sake brewers association, and volunteers. The brewery has recovered through crowdfunding and other means, and this one is also not to be found in the Kansai region. Junmai ◉ Junmai The aroma is a bit peculiar. It may be an off-flavor. The flavor is firm and a bit nutty. They say it is recommended to be heated. Junmai Ginjo Not too much sweetness and umami, but a mild acidity. Junmai Daiginjo Uzu The aroma is a little subdued, and the sweetness and umami are refreshing, the type of sake that goes well with river fish. Junmai Ginjo-shu Sakurahime A junmai ginjo-shu brewed with Sakurahime yeast. It has a clear, sweet and umami taste with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. When I told him that Sakurahime yeast is not cherry blossom, he said yes, it is a flower called delphinium. The Ehime booth was set up by the sake brewers' association, and everyone was wearing the same shirt, light pink vest and pants, which bouken-san said looked like Junrei.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food from Shikoku - (5) Ehime Prefecture from here Sake brewery severely damaged by torrential rain in western Japan. They have made a comeback thanks to crowdfunding and support from many people! There are no distributors in Kansai, but there are some restaurants that deal directly with the brewery. We drank Kaze no Sato Junmai-shu Matsuyama Mitsui Polishing ratio 60%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +7 I thought it would be a classic type of sake, but it's quite modern. Rice flavor and a bit of fruitiness. The taste itself is nice, but there is something strange about it... Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, EK-3 yeast, Sake meter value +6 A juicy sake with a firm sweetness. A little pineapple 🍍. The most delicious 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Usu Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +8 It was refreshing and gorgeous, but delicious! It had a berry-like flavor. All of the breweries here have high sake strength, but it didn't feel too spicy. Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sakura hime Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake strength -4 Sakura hime yeast "Type2 Clear" is used. Slightly floral. Refreshing sweetness.

☀️ This is the first brand of sake from Ehime. There are glimpses of rice floating around 🌾. The ori is sturdy and doesn't seem to dissolve fully🤔. There is no sweetness and the rice flavor is more pronounced 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾. In addition to the nigori, the rice is dissolved to the point of being sludgy, but thanks to the microcarbonation, it passes down the throat better🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧. I took the opportunity to order a gibier that I don't usually eat called "ginger roasted wild boar🐗" and got the most delicious meat🥩 with a mix of the sweetness of the ginger, the flavor of the rice and the bitter after taste😋.

Gentle to drink Low sweetness The taste is crisp and clear It is also very strong in the throat And it goes down the nose I think it is good as a food sake Naturally, it is completely different from Sanyo Sakebai's Sansho. (Naturally...) Both are delicious 😋. But I prefer Old Matsu's sake 😋.

Japanese>English

The mouthfeel is light and smooth. And gentle sweetness and umami It goes down the throat and through the nose at the same time. The taste is refreshing and clean. It seems to go well with Japanese food. It's quite good. It was purchased at a brewery located near (about 30 meters?) from Sanyo Sakebai of Banshu Issen. Banshu Ikkyo Sanyo Sake Brewery is located near the Sanyo Sake Brewery. Brewed with distilled water from the Ibo River. This is the first time I've tasted distilled water instead of spring water or well water! A card explaining each sake? They gave us a card explaining each sake.

This sake is brewed by Umeshiki Yamakawa, a subsidiary of the major sake maker Hakutsuru Shuzo. In recent years, Hakutsuru Shuzo has purchased a number of breweries from across Japan. The Aomori-based brewer Momokawa, which uses Hakutsuru Nishiki, is also a subsidiary company of Hakutsuru Shuzo. Not much of an aroma, slight whiff of alcohol. Dry, watery and clean on the palate, with little umami and a slight alu taste. After drinking it, it has a light throat feeling with a faint sweetness. It is a standard shokuchu sake. For the snacks, we had stewed kalbi and root vegetables, mussel pickled in soy sauce, chili bonito sakutome, and baby star ramen with the flavor of kondashi. It goes best with sakabuto, which enhances its sweetness.

Japanese>English

Next was a sake I'd never seen before, so here it is. As soon as you take a sip, a very unique habit spreads! What is this? What a shocking taste! Looking at the label carefully, I found a hint of plum flavor? If it's the astringent bitter taste of plum, I'm convinced: 🙂‍↕️ I don't think I'll ever drink it again😅.

Japanese>English

The first drink of the day. I drank it cold. It is fruity and has a sake-like taste. It is relatively light and easy to drink. I read in another post that it has a plum aroma when heated, so I thought I'd like to try it.

Today we are going out for a drink. This izakaya is a rare izakaya where you can eat a lot of vegetables 😁The sashimi is also reasonably priced with sea bream and swordfish. They sell vegetables, so they have a large selection of vegetable-based soft drinks. They mainly have local Shizuoka sake, but they also have a lot of Omuraya sake from the famous Omuraya brewery, which is famous for Wakatake and Onna no Nyokase 🧐 This is the first time I've had anything from this brewery. Today's sake was Oni Otome. I was in the mood for a sweet sake. The flavor was full and spreading. It is delicious 😋. We had it with sashimi, tempura, and meat rolls!

( ⑉¯ ⑉ )🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I received a gift of sake called Kansai 😀 This is a brand I have never heard of before 😊It seems to be a popular sake often drunk in Fukui. When I drank it, I found it to be a strong style of traditional sake 😚 with a good balance of flavor, sweetness, and bitterness, and it was thick 🥰It was like an all-purpose sake 🤤.

Japanese>English

Drinking out after a long time, a dinner party with the whole family It was a chilly autumn night, so we had some local sake hot. The soft taste on the palate and the heat from the warmed sake filled our bodies! This Kansai hot sake, which is easy to drink and has no quirks, has become my standard for comparing hot sake. The image of the bottle is borrowed from the official website.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased this one as well. Sweet and tasty without feeling high alcohol content. And a trace of nuttiness. I can't drink a lot of it since it's 20 degrees, but I've never tasted a regular sake with such a good taste 💦. A little like Morinori's Kamisen Unfiltered Nama Sake. This brewery has been making only Kaisen and Kamisen for many years and has been slow to release Junmai.
