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.

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 ✨.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

Private brand of Fujimura Sake Brewery in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture The sake is named after a local poet and the owner of the brewery. We bought a 300ml bottle to try, as it is a traditional brand that has been commissioned to be brewed continuously for 26 years. The ginjo aroma is mild, and you don't even notice it on the palate. But I did not expect to find such a beautiful sake in Yamaguchi. Toyo Bijin, Tenbi, and other gorgeous brands are popular, This sake is a perfect representative of Yamaguchi as a food sake.

Yamaguchi Prefecture booth (3) If you see a brand you have never had before, you are sick of not being able to stop drinking it. ◉Santouka Junmai Ginjo This one also has an impressive sourness and acidity, which later tightens up with acidity, followed by a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. I knew I was going to get too drunk and feel dangerous, so I decided to use a dispensing cup. It was nice to be given a paper cup (vomit container) to hang around my neck.

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!

I bought this at a sake brewery when I went sightseeing on Shodoshima. You can eat or sell bakery next door. They let you taste the sake before you buy it. Is the price expensive? The taste is elegant and delicious. 3.7

Kaze no Bon Yamahai Honjozo Autumn Agari Fukutsuru Sake Brewery in Yatsuo. After this, the image is still there, but I have no memory of the taste 💦. Here are the comments from the sake shop While it has a light, dry tone, it has a richness and umami that can be felt well. It is a sake with a good balance of five tastes.

Just a reminder 🙏. This is the second cup at the third "Douka" 🍶. This is also very dry (+7). It's a bit peculiar, but it's like a good old-fashioned sake for adults 🤗.

Yamabuki color, firm cedar barrel aroma and rich flavor. The opposite of a fruity sake. This is what sake is all about. It was a wonderful sake that I never got tired of drinking.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".

Japanese>English

Procured on a business trip. The aroma is a very fresh and unpasteurized sake. The mouthfeel is fruity and slightly sweet and light, with a classical drinking experience. The sharpness is thin and the sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I like this lingering taste. ☆☆☆☆
