It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

Today in Tokyo, it snowed and turned a little white. And today, February 5, is "nigori no hi (day of nigori). If so, here it is, although it is not a white nigori. It is a low-alcohol (11 degrees Celsius) pink nigori sake. The bottle was opened easily without any bumps and bruises. Pour it into a glass with a dokudoku, or sloshing. In the mouth, you feel sweetness. And some acidity. I've been drinking it every day for a while now, so the low alcohol content helps. I guess.

It took me 10 minutes to open the bottle 😓. The aroma is not so strong. The color is pink as you can see. The mouthfeel is thick and sour.

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai (1) I went to the Bishu Competition in Osaka, where the management and judges are all women 😊. I was a little nervous because it was my first time to attend a tasting at a hotel. The venue was Hotel Elsereine Osaka! The awarding ceremony was held for an hour between the first and second parts, so it was a little bit difficult to drink during this time 😅. There was a booth with sake from breweries that were not participating in the event, so I had a drink from a brewery I didn't know. Diachiku from Nagano Prefecture. It seems they were bought by a company called Toda Shuhan in Yamanashi and changed their name to Toda Sake Brewery. Diaigiku was drunk by Lutemi before 😊. Fruity, sweet and tasty, but with a bit of bitterness. I wrote "fruity" at first, but it has a full-bodied Japanese sweetness that I like a lot! Where can I buy it?

Purchased directly from Koganei Sake Brewery...good aroma of Gohyakumangoku...can feel the delicious taste of rice...mmmm...THE local sake! It has the flavor of a local sake, but it also has a modern feel...and a sharp aftertaste! The slight bitterness is only possible with Gohyakumangoku....

Here's the last GW drink we had It was a sake brewery I knew nothing about. This sake was sold as a summer draft sake by the Japan Meimon Shukai. It seems it was the first sake from this year to be released as a Meimon Sake Kai sake. Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture, Sake meter value +3, No. 9 yeast Citrusy aroma. The impression is that it is quite sweet and has a rich umami flavor, making it very drinkable. It is not a modern type of sake, but it is quite drinkable. A little acidic? It's hard to drink by itself... It's hard to drink if you don't drink it while eating. I was looking up information on this sake and happened to find out that a liquor store in my neighborhood has started a social networking site 😳.

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023(´¦) Very sharp and refreshing, a dry sake with a thick body that is not light. A junmai sake that tastes great chilled. No strong character, but good for everyday drinking I imagined that Frog's ginjo-nama-zake next to it would also be good, but my weak liver stopped screaming and I gave up on it! See you again, Mr. Frog!

Tenma Dai-Shuukai (¡Ω-Ω-Ω) Slightly mellow raw storage It is a summer product with a refreshing taste and aroma It gets sweeter as it warms up, but it is basically refreshing when cooled down, right? The people dancing to the KUWATA BAND medley on the way home seemed to be having a good time! For some reason, they were so well prepared that they brought their own happi (happy coats)! It was wonderful that they were giving it their all! After all, the Tenma Taishukai is unique!

Seisen has a traditional flavor when it is fire-aged...but the raw sake is delicious 🍶...sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate, but not bitter enough to be bothersome. Jungin sake brewed with 100% Chiba's sake brewing rice "So no Mai"... I am enjoying it with "Vinegared Myouga" and "Salted Marlin" from Chiba... a delicious marriage...

It is the best way to have a good time with your friends and family... The scent of the ginjo is refreshing... When you pour it into the cup, it is amber in color... The sour taste in the mouth is very strong and the bitter aftertaste is also very characteristic of the local brew, so you can enjoy it with the whale sauce, a specialty of Boso, as a snack. That's the way it is.

I bought it for a souvenir, but a customer traveling from Hokkaido🐴 gave me some chocolates and I didn't have any on hand, so I had to rush to the store and drink it with everyone, including my sister🥂. I heard it was only medium-hot, but it's still hot ❗️. I want to warm up some 👩 for my sister! I just had a reflective stove. (I was boiling daikon radish for oden 🍢) I'd love to heat up some sake with this 👩 It's not a fashionable place, but it's a very relaxing and nice place 🥰. I'll see you later 🎁🙏🏻

Morioka! I chose the sake to go with the stylish snacks. This is also my first time. Nice choice by me. It is nice and clear and dry. Iwate's dry sake has no grandfather. The dialect in the store is nice. It makes the sake go down a treat!
