At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

The 5th Shinmame Festival, the 5th Kanno Thanksgiving Mie Shinshu Matsuri (10) I was a little excited to see the brewer of Shinra Sake Brewery, who was a part of the Mie Sake Enjoyment Group event, but he did not show up this time, which was a shame. ◉Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Genshu This sake is produced in extremely small quantities. It has a thick nutty flavor. It has a chocolate and caramel taste, which is also quite unique. The richness has a classical feel to it. I think I can understand why the brewer made old, matured sake. I bought it at the Mie Sake Festival, and it's sitting in the fridge, but I might leave it alone for a while.

1948 2025/10 Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Nama-nazake 60% 17° 25/8 A+ Matsuzaka City, Mie 720 1776 This sake is a pure sake that has been aged for a long time. The aroma is mild on the palate, and the flavor is somewhat nostalgic, but with a robust taste and a bit of character behind it. It was my first time drinking this sake, but I got the impression that it was a simple but very tasty sake I used to drink in the past. When heated up, the flavor became more mellow and different from that of cold sake. While everyone is trying to be modern and end up with the same old thing, this is a sake that is safe to drink and tastes like the old-fashioned way, I am thankful for the old-fashioned sake that I can drink with peace of mind. Although the type of sake is a little different, I felt happy to have found a new sake in the same Mie region as Miyamasugi, which I can no longer drink.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024 (2) Gindagawa, which I have had a cup of special honjozo or something before. Was Gintagawa sold in Niigata? I thought it was a classic type, but unlike the image on the label, the acidity was noticeable and it was a bit modern? It looks like it would go well with Western food 🍴.

Honjozo 🍶 JR East Kyun ♥ Pass one-day trip to Niigata 🚃. First, we took the Shinkansen to Niigata. Go to Aomi shopping center in Honmachi 🚌. Much darker. The sake 😅. Match with Cod Milt Tempura 👍. It is too strong by itself, but it becomes delicious when combined with snacks. Sashi-zuri A ¥1600 (tuna, flatfish, nodoguro, sea bream, yellowtail, shrimp, bai clam, bigeye tuna, sea bass) is also worth it 😋. Suzuki Fresh Fish Restaurant @ Niigata Honmachi 20240301

Original Sake by Kishinami Brewery Darubish! Or rather, Tarubish! It's a pretty good name! It was the last bottle. Unfortunately, I can't believe they are closing at the end of next month 😭 Just like the name, the cedar barrel(?) The aroma of cedar barrels(?) is amazing! Not my favorite... The alcohol content is 16%, so it comes with a bang. It's already winter on the Northeast Highway, it's better that there is no snow on the road yet! Today we went to a curry shop in Aomori... They say you can only eat the roux once... I'm full 🈵!

Brewed with the utmost care, it is the forerunner of our high-class sake, characterized by its elegant aroma and delicious rice flavor. The balance between taste and aroma is a selling point, and the taste is refined, full, and rich. I fell in love with sake after drinking Junmai Daiginjo Sake Seigenkai! It was the beginning of my love affair with sake! It is the perfect sake for those who do not drink sake and those who want to learn how to drink sake.

This was the third bottle we drank on New Year's Day. We saved the Hakurakusei we had brought for another time and opened a bottle of Okutanba provided by my sister and her husband, as we did last year. It is dry but slightly fruity and easy to drink. It goes well with strong flavored dishes. Thank you very much.

It's my first time to visit the Yamana Shuzo brewery in Okutamba. Is it a sake made from the same yeast as the original yeast? If so, I'd like to try it hot ❗️ Oh, this is delicious ‼️. It's a perfect harmony of sweet and sour, mellow and mild 🥰I read "Chitose" when I'm in Hokkaido 😅Thanks for the great taste.

This is also a Sota's Hump Society exclusive🍶. Nice to meet you also Kita no Hana. The aroma is sweet with a hint of richness. In the mouth, it has a rich, dark, sweet flavor that is typical of nama sake, and then it finishes with a slight astringent taste. The richness and astringency of Yamadanishiki was delicious✨.

First brand name Kita no Hana. It is a backroom deal with a sake teacher. Even if I say it is a backroom deal, he will sell me any rare sake at the same price I bought it from the liquor store, and even if I tell him I will take care of the transportation costs, he stubbornly refuses to accept it. I told them that if I sold them at a higher price, the liquor store would take me on as a reseller, and after that, they would never sell me rare sake. The fact that you can normally drink Jyushiyo at home is based on the mutual trust between the seller and the buyer. Kita no Hana, the label is very attractive. I don't detect much of the Kamitatekoso, but there is a round, unfamiliar aroma in the back of the bottle. The mouthfeel is moist, calm, and elegant with sweetness and soft umami, and the rounded aroma in the aftertaste is fruity. The acidity and bitterness are both moderate, and it has a mysterious sharpness that just flutters and closes. It is really a round, gentle and mysterious sake, and this must be one of its balances. Thank you very much for the sake!
