AI told me about this Junmai Ginjo sake. It is only available by either going to the sake brewery or by mail order. It is a slightly cloudy, sweet sake with a pleasant aroma and a high alcohol content of 17 degrees, but it is surprisingly light to drink and goes well with meals.

Fukui Sake 🍶. While waiting for the Thunderbird on a business trip to Fukui, I went to a bar and compared three different kinds of sake. I had three kinds of sake selected on my own. All were delicious and it was hard to choose one over the other, but the Manazuru sake was my favorite! I wish I could have had more!

Sweet and bitter with a bitter aftertaste. It has a bitter aftertaste with a sweet and bitter aftertaste... It is a mellow dry sake... It does not have a cloying taste... It is a good match for strong flavored dishes... Although it is not the latest popular sake, it has a presence that says you are drinking sake. ...this is delicious in its own way...

How many times have I already had this year...Tamura's Gingin Gin. It was a year in which I really got hooked on Tamura Sake Brewery. The Tamura Ginga was so shockingly good that I kept coming back to this one. It has a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of mushrooms and nuts.

Rice used is unknown There is a bunch! It has a very "Yamahaku" feeling. The sense of maturity is also there. The taste is dry, but the sweetness is spreading on the tongue. The sharpness is not bad either. As the temperature rises, it becomes milder. This type of sake tastes better when it is not too cold.

Japanese>English

It has a flavor suitable for lukewarm heating. It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai-shu! It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai Sake! I can't tell the difference! ✩3.5

Japanese>English

Purchased at Yamane Sake Shop in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, during a trip to Wakayama Prefecture. I was attracted by the sake label (❗️) and bought it! Aroma of mineral and a hint of grape. When you put it in your mouth, there is a strong sourness and stimulation, followed slowly by a feeling of alcohol, and a little bitterness remains. The image was more like a heavy and drinkable sake, but it was like a dark, fruity, strong sake! I heard they use wild yeast collected from the soil of Kumano Kodo. I imagine it has an even more wild flavor! Even though it's dark, it's still relatively easy to drink, so I guess it's one of the more dangerous sake 😁.

I'm opening another bottle today😍. My first Miyazaki sake. Everyone says Miyazaki is hard to get, so I popped in 🤣 I ordered it with Jidori Koko 👍. It's a bit sweet, but not too sweet. It has a modern umami taste, similar to a brand I've had before like Tsushima-ya 😋 It's quite refreshing and the sharpness disappears quickly 😋 It seems to be the only brewery in Miyazaki that specializes in sake 😋 It's delicious - thanks for making sake 😂.

Japanese>English

★★★☆☆

Scoring: ☆☆☆☆ Miyazaki's only sake brewery specializing in sake, Chitoku Shuzo. It has a mild aroma with a good sweetness 😄. Refreshing drink with little lingering aftertaste. 😋 A lightly flavored umami type, or perhaps an 🏠. Not much umami or bitterness lingering on the tongue. Easy to drink but needs one more punch😅. It has an old fashioned taste but with a modern drinking style😋. Quite a tasty sake😋. Tonight I'm having seafood nabe with oysters, cod and scallops 🎵👍

The last sake we had at Kyoto Stand Kiyo Kiyo was "Toyoyo Junmai Dry Musou" by Mukai Shuzo, also from the Tango region. The rough and powerful label may represent the fishing scene in this area. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami flavor and the aroma of rice is crisp and full. Even though it is called "Dry Musou", it has a hint of sweetness, which makes it a delicious cup. It has been a long time since I have had a good drink, and the best part of drinking outside by myself is that I can drink slowly while considering what to drink and what snacks to go with it, while keeping an eye on my pocketbook. I returned home refreshed both mentally and physically. From next time, I will introduce some of the sakes I took at the beginning of the year!
