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.

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.

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 🙇🙇🙇.

This sake has a soft sweetness and a wonderful acidity that seems to seep in gradually. Yes, it is a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

I bought this sake as a souvenir from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The owner did not recommend it, but I bought it because of its name and appearance. It is a pure sake, so it is not crystal clear and leaves a strong aftertaste, but that is what makes it so good. But it is good. (How can I say it is like a "Kaimo" shochu?). It is easy to drink because of its refreshing taste.

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 received a drinking set from a colleague. When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind, But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone. It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

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".

After lunch, we went to Namba to watch a movie. It was a movie worth watching. After the movie, we stopped by a liquor store in Nagahoribashi and had a bottle of wine! After that, we had today's main dish, fish dinner! So the first drink of our first visit to Maeda-Ya was a fluffy sake from Shodoshima Sake Brewery, also a new brewery to us! According to the waitress, it is a slightly peculiar sake! So let's have it right away! First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma! In the mouth, you can feel the richness, bitterness, and spiciness from the soft and gentle mouthfeel, just like the name of the sake. However, since everything is gentle, there is no unpleasant feeling, and there is a good impression of umami with a complex flavor. Personally, I didn't feel any peculiarities, and it was an excellent sake to be paired with a meal.

Japanese>English

I found this brand while looking for local sake on a trip to Shodoshima. It has a strong flavor, but is not heavy [fluffy]. I like it because it is easy to drink but has a strong flavor. I stayed at a lodge with my in-laws and enjoyed it leisurely. Delicious.

It was cold and I wanted to drink heated sake, so I bought this sake. It reminded me of the unique impression I had when I drank it once upon a time. I drank it warmed up, but the acidity stood out without much umami. Sasanishiki is a light rice that does not have much sweetness, so I think it is a dry sake without much sweetness. I would have liked a little more umami.

Japanese>English

This sake goes well with this season, which is getting a little colder. The oak aroma is not too strong, and the sense of maturity makes this sake something special. Of course it goes well with heated sake, so this sake sinks into your cold body. It is a stable taste.

Japanese>English

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 🤗.

Moved to the corner of Matsuzaki in Kawagoe. This is my first time at the fashionable Yellow Cherry Blossom. It is easy to drink and refreshing. It is the opposite of Kappa's sake. The reason why I couldn't feel the Aizan sensation must be because I was drunk.
