The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

Special Junmai🍶Nanbu Kame no O🌾. Otona no Himitsu Club, Aomori Complete Trip Journey🚃Day 1 It is rich, umami, spicy and acidic, and looks good when heated. It is a little harsh on its own. It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

It is not heavy, but rather moist. Is it a mature unfiltered unpasteurized sake? No, it is a completely different sake depending on the temperature control... Tonight we had grilled scallops in their shells, bonito sashimi, bonito saketo, and sauteed shiitake mushrooms along with...

Purchased at Traveling SAKE Sparkling with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is very sweet and sour. The flavor is a little bit peculiar, but it's delicious.

Aged Sake. As the name suggests, the aroma of the barrels is amazing! Is the aroma already edible? It is about as oaky as it gets! (I mean that as a compliment.) I think it is one of the pleasures to enjoy the aroma, but it goes really well with strong-flavored snacks.

Special Junmai sake with 60% polished rice ratio I bought the jacket because of the impressive cartoonish, retro Showa-era "Oniotome" illustrations. The illustration was done by Minako Sonobe. It is made with "Homare-Fuji" sake rice developed in Shizuoka Prefecture. It has a calm aroma and an elegant, gentle taste with a well-balanced flavor, and it tastes great on the finish!

I went to Fukuroi Sake House Yamaya for Kaiun Tachiharu Asashimusubori, and I was able to buy it without reservation every year, but not this year 😅I screwed up 😅. Since I went there, I bought another Risshun Asashibori 😊for good luck👍. It's a good omen 📌720ml ¥1,980 Here's a quick rice! The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink 😊👍 You can also taste the sweetness of the rice 💕 I think it's probably dry. It is a delicious sake that does not interfere with your meal💕💕💕 I couldn't buy the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori so I bought it anyway, but the Hatsuwakatake was even better than I imagined👍 Next year I'll remember to pre-order the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori 😅.

A love that has lasted over two years has been fulfilled. I had a bottle in Ito izakaya two summers ago and enjoyed it so much that I was looking for a bottle to buy someday. I finally met the devil maiden in love😄. It is slightly effervescent and has a rather firm, juicy sweetness, but the mouthfeel is light and cuts through easily. The aroma is greenish, like unripe bananas🍌. Fresh and easy to drink, it goes well with oily fish 🐟.

A gift of Koshino Kanbai, 100% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 30%! The aftertaste of Yamadanishiki, with its moderate bitterness and full flavor, is good.... I guess...

I bought it at Max Value. The aroma is lightly fruity? It's a good idea to try a little bit of both. Today, my second son is taking care of me. It is better than drinking alone✌️. I think I'm going to drink too much😊😊😊.

I bought it with Yamatsuru at Sake Merchant Yori-san. Abetaya, which I visited before going here, also had a bottle of Shinyomi, but I felt it was too dry, so I passed on it and bought it here. It has a refreshing taste like a summer sake with a mild sweetness. Although the sake level is minus, the second half of the bottle feels sharp and dry. It's sweet, but something different. It tastes better at room temperature when it is sweeter. I think Shinyun was closed for a few years after Toji Kurose moved to Inada Shuzo and the president passed away, I wonder who is running the brewery now? I don't know who is running the brewery now 🤔. I know there were fewer distributors around there... I left it for about a week and the acidity got really strong.
