Astringent Bittersweet Lingering

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

Japanese>English

Stepping Up to Shochu Mild alcoholic aroma. A slightly mellow mouthfeel, followed by a mild sweetness and a tangy pungency. A cool hint of aroma rises, and then the spiciness is felt and it is quickly snapped off. The quality of the sweetness, spiciness, and alcohol make this sake reminiscent of shochu. ★★★★

I bought this at Kumamoto station on a recent trip to Kyushu. I asked the shopkeeper for a recommendation and he recommended this one. 🍶. This is my first time to try Kumamoto sake 😊. It is light on the palate, well balanced and easy to drink 🍶😊. This sake is only sold in the prefecture, so I guess I was lucky to come across it? I only had a taste of it today, so next time I will enjoy it while savoring it 😅🍶.

甘くてヨーグルト風味。酸味と甘味が絶妙なバランスで楽しめる。軽やかな甘さでスイスイ飲めてしまう。

Have you all entered GW? I am starting tomorrow. Well, the father of the liquor store recommended this Yuto. It is a spring sake, but the label is not pink or something spring-like, but for some reason, it has a full moon. My own guess is that it comes from the haiku term "Haru-Manzuki," which means "full moon in spring. But it still looks like a hiyaoroshi. Lactic acidity from the top-tasting aroma. The mouthfeel is silky and light sweetness from the tangy gasiness, and the umami is jiggly. The aftertaste is full of lactic acidity, and the closing acidity and bitterness are robust. I thought it was a bit of a rush at the back of my throat, but it was only 17%. It is light, so you don't feel it too much, but it is quite heavy. If you don't think about the order in which you drink it, it might wipe out the taste of the next sake. Thank you very much for the drink!

Tasted at the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. The one on the right side of the photo. The rice is Gohyakumangoku. The description says it is dry, but it does not feel as dry as it says, and it has a nice sharpness. It seems to be good with food.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

Grape, peach and pineapple. Gorgeous, fruity aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing. You can feel the flavor and also the bitterness. The acidity is moderate.

This is the sake I got for New Year's. Last year, I received one with gold dust, but perhaps because I said that the gold dust didn't come out when I poured it into the glass, they gave me a separate one with gold dust (lol). The sake is fruity and refreshing like wine, as it has been awarded the highest gold medal in the "Delicious sake in a wine glass" award. I enjoyed it with cheese👍.

Today's accompaniment is a sake from Sakuragawa, Hitachinokuni The aroma is far away Shaoxing sake, sweet and sour. When I drink it, it reminds me of Ine Mangaka♪ The taste of cherries and a little Shaoxing sake Can it be drunk quickly with low alcohol (8%)? Sake rice is Koshihikari produced in the shrine's rice fields We will respectfully enjoy the sake. thanks Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito

I got it back from a thieving cat 🐈‍⬛ about this time last year. The green raccoon he was eating at the time. I erased one 🐈‍⬛, all that's left is this 🐈‍⬛ Thieving Cat🐈‍⬛ is delicious❤️, not pretty to the taste, but easy to drink❤️, and goes well with Green Raccoon❤️ I'm so disappointed 😫. The other cat is Manako, right? Why is it him? ‼️I'm a 100% pure woman who drank with him, why not me? ‼️ Is it the green raccoon? What? Hana-kun⁉️ I was eating a green raccoon and I made a mistake❤️ She's a 100% screwed up girl! She's definitely prettier than him and it's so annoying‼️ He's not the cat burglar, is he? He stole a raccoon ⁉️ He stole a raccoon dog from our lady: ‼️ He's a raccoon thief‼️ He didn't steal a man‼️ Take back your thieving cat comment‼️ Thinly veiled appeal to good friends and good women, makes me want to vomit 🤢. You are a good old man and disgusting 🤮. If you're going to erase someone, erase the person who should be erased the most 😄. If you're going to do it, do it first😄. What's Manta, Poochie 🤣 dog ⁉️ I'm not sure. Are you a cat or a dog? Is it a dog? Is it a raccoon? I'll let my ample pectoral muscles do the talking here: ❤️ ... ... ... Oh shit, now I only have two choices 🤣. Sorry for being a doofus, tehepero❤️ It's time to get serious about exterminating them😄

Sweet aroma. Fresh and sweeter than expected. Unique sweetness like candy. Unique but interesting and delicious. The sweetness is like a floppy candy. More fruity than I expected, too. I think the Asahi Nikki Jusui Brewing I drank in the past also had a unique sweetness.

Japanese>English

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

Rice used is Sakonishiki At first, I thought it was sweet⁉️, but soon I felt the spiciness. It is a dry sake like Japanese sake. I think it tastes better when it is heated up.

It was developed by a female brewer in 2004 and is said to be a sake for women. It has a slightly sweet taste with a sake content of -3, but the alcohol content is high at 18 degrees. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The aroma of the rice is strong in the mouthfeel. The sweetness is followed by a crisp dry aftertaste✨.

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.
