It has a powerful taste reminiscent of Awamori, with a The aftertaste is somewhat refreshing. It is perfect when served with raftage. It is also good with Chinese food. Aiming to conquer the whole country I had bought it at an antenna store and found it to be a little twisted. It was a little twisted, so I ordered it from the brewery. I ordered this time from the brewery.

Japanese>English

In an effort to conquer the whole country, the I bought it at an antenna store. It had a strong punch and a peculiar quirk. When paired with Chinese food as if it were Shaoxing wine It was a curious match. I'm not sure if it's because of the storage conditions at the antenna store. I felt it was a little twisted. I would like to purchase online from the brewery again.

Japanese>English

For the fifth cup, I went for "Reimei"! It's a delicious taste with a stronger sweetness than the last time I drank it and a stronger awamori feel than ever before! I've had it a few times and it was probably the best ✨.

Work in Yamaguchi was over and I was on my way home. It takes about 4 hours by Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama, which is quite long! Today, let's go back home after drinking as much as we do at Izakaya Shinkansen. Today was so busy that I didn't eat lunch 🥴. However, almost the last bullet train, and around Shin-Yamaguchi station, there are not so many places to prepare 🤔. At a souvenir shop in the station, I got a hamo no tsukurin (pike conger eel) and gairo for dessert (I heard it's a bit different from gairo in Nagoya)! (I heard it's a little different from gairo in Nagoya.) They didn't have any bento-like bento, so I went to the combined 7-Eleven and Souvenir Kaido store inside the ticket gate. Seriously 😱. The bento was sold out........ I hadn't even eaten lunch 😭 So I switched to something that looked like a prepared dish from 7-Eleven. Sake is santouka! A little yellow. At room temperature, it feels like it's mellow in the mouth. A bit like honjozo? It's a solid taste, I don't dislike it. It has a strong taste.

When I went to Yamaguchi on business before, I brought back a bottle of sake I'd never had before, just for the sake of it. Yamatohka: Sake made with rice from the Saito Shizuku Sake made with Yamaguchi's sake rice, Saito no Shizuku Taneda Yamatohka was born in Hofu and once lived in Ogori (around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). (Around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). Looks a little yellow. It's a little yellow in color. It's a little sour, but you can taste the rice. But you can taste the rice flavor, not sweet but tasty. This is delicious 😋. On the second day, it tasted even better 😋😋😋😋. The third one is a statue of Santoka in front of the station (a bit backlit)

Left photo. Reads "Sasazuru." Smooth apricot sweetness, bitterness, and rice sourness. The dryness is moderate. The set of sake comparison was surprisingly full of straight-forward and delicious sake.

HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024③. Rakuraku zuru? Tano-no-zuru? No, it's Sasazuru 😁. Izushi Sake Brewery's 200 year old red clay warehouse still exists. Even more acidic than Sennenichi. Overall, it is refreshing. I thought it would be extremely spicy, but it is quite easy to drink. Of the B set, Nada Ichi is my favorite. I heard later that this brewery doesn't make it anymore and that it might contain sake from a famous brewery in the Tajima area 🤔. 🤔. It's ok if it tastes good even if they don't brew it themselves 😋. I was also interested in the King Brewery Inami that koge2 and Wakata-san were drinking, but I decided to skip it this time because it's available at Yamaya and I don't need to drink it now!

Japanese>English

There are various theories as to the origin of "Rakurakutsuru," but it is said that the name "Rakurakutsuru" is derived from the name of a place called "Sasaura" near Kinosaki Hot Spring located about 20 km from the brewery, the name of the villa of the lord of Izushi Castle, Lord Sengoku, called "Rakurakuen," and the name of sake, "Rakuraku," which is also called "Sasazuru. The name of the villa is said to be "Rakurakuen" and the word for sake is "Rakuraku". The word "crane" is said to refer to the storks that lived in this area. The top aroma has a strong alcohol flavor. It is a very rich and mellow sake, as it is a pure sake. I don't want to compare it to other sake, but it has the feel of mellow shochu or spirits. However, it is a sake (I don't like the term "sake", so I call it "alcohol"), so it is somewhat mellow, not that harsh alcohol. It's easy to drink, so you can gobble it down with a gulp, and (for me) it's a bit of a kick.

At a yakitori restaurant! I've never been to Sumiyoshi...what's it like? Mmmmmm, it's dry! As it is called "dry", it goes in quickly and goes off without a hitch! It is a good food sake that does not spoil the taste of the food! Thank you for this first encounter!

Event at Hanshin Racecourse (・・・・) We came to enjoy drinks and throw away money! Today, I'm here for this. It's the one with a good reputation! Nada's sake with a solid core. It has a dry taste and sharpness. There is an accent of acidity. The light aroma on the nose was just right! This is indeed a perfect sake! My expectation is the worst, but all the sakes I drank today were perfect!

Tonight, it is this sake. No, it is a very tasty sake with acidity on it. p Since this sake is from Iwate, the accompaniment is mamebu soup. It is seasoned with soy sauce made by Fuji Isamu in Miyako. It warms the body. Right? Isn't plain sake fun? Let's make a sake club.

It's out again this year! Hode Nasu! It's a tag-team sake from Kadoden Brewery, which is also known as a metamorphosis of rice, and Hagino Brewery, which is known as one of the best sweet and sour brewers in Miyagi Prefecture. While the heady aroma is modest, the tangy gassiness gives the sake a strong umami presence. The sweetness and acidity typical of Hagino Brewery are also present. It is covered with lees and is very satisfying to drink! It is a dangerous sake with a sharpness that makes it easy to drink. Please don't abuse it. Sake words without permission 〜The best combination of old and new, the best combination of super beasts... Thank you very much for the food and drink!

Today is the last day of work.................................. Thanks for your hard work ~ ☺️ I decided to drink this from the moment I made the appointment for the house barbecue today! 💐 It's sharp, sweet and sour... It's more alcoholic than makgeolli, and it helps to wash away the fat from the yakiniku... In a word, I like it a lot 🥰. I'm lucky to be able to get this at my local liquor store ✨. I will continue to support you😍.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.
