Procured on a business trip. The aroma is a very fresh and unpasteurized sake. The mouthfeel is fruity and slightly sweet and light, with a classical drinking experience. The sharpness is thin and the sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I like this lingering taste. ☆☆☆☆

Japanese>English

Purchased at an antenna store in Iwate. Drank at room temperature, it was refreshing and had just the right amount of umami flavor, making it a great match for a mid-meal drink.

A valuable sake that can only be bought for two days a year 牡牡 Dry, crisp, and delicious❗ You can gulp it down, but it's a dangerous drink with an alcohol content of 20 degrees (lol)

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Today we visited the Tottori & Okayama Antenna Shops, a place of relaxation for Masamune hunters 📡. As soon as I arrived there, I started looking for Masamune and found it 🤩. It's sake 🍶. It has a crisp, Hakka-like aroma. It is also very refreshing on the throat. The umami of the rice is subdued, and then there is a subdued sweetness and an equally subdued acidity. Overall, it has a light and simple taste 😙. It is probably best suited as a food sake 🍶. The Hakka flavor, combined with the oiliness of the food, seems to help the oil from the food to be washed away quickly 😁. Nice Masamune👍

Japanese>English

The 800 check-in is the H27BY (2015 brewing year) Sanko Masamune from which Toji Takagaki retired 😆. We were lucky to get it 😊. This is the only sake from Mr. Takagaki but we are holding Takagaki festival 😅🍶. When opened in the fridge, it smells slightly like a soy sauce warehouse (there was a soy sauce warehouse in my neighborhood when I was a kid) or Shaoxing sake. It's a dry and light sake when cold. Sanko is still a warmed sake, so I'd recommend heating it up 🍶. The top aroma is the aromatic aroma of a freshly heated sake. When heated, it does not have a matured aroma. In the mouth, you first feel sharp acidity and spiciness. The acidity is not as strong as that of Sanko Tenpyo's Namahashi or Yamahai, but it is quite good. There is a slight sweetness and a beautiful umami that does not make you feel the rice polishing ratio of 72%. This is a perfect food sake 🍶😊. I don't know if this is the original taste since it is an old sake, but it was deeply delicious 😌. After retiring, he returned to farm near his hometown, but unfortunately, he died in a field accident last year 🥲. I learned of his death when I saw a relative of his on Instagram late last May with a picture of H27BY "Katsumasa" to inform me of his passing. A toast to Mr. Katsumasa Takagaki 😌🍶. The fourth picture is a sake from the brewery where Mr. Takagaki worked in the past.

2) Matsuura Ichi Sake Brewery ✨9th Omachi Summit Ginjo-Shu Category Honorable Mention ✨. Made with up to 50% polished Omachi from Akaban! Now, a sip...hmmm...this one is delicious too! Mild aroma 😳👍 Refreshing in the mouth with a touch of acidity. The umami is also great!

Japanese>English

It is a very crisp junmai sake with a good acidity level. It has a rich and expansive flavor. It is more crisp when heated. When heated, the umami is moderate and you can taste the astringency. I served it with chilled tofu, and it really brings out the flavor of the chilled tofu. Even if you don't serve it with cold tofu, you can still enjoy the taste. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards, but it is a very good sake! Mr. Ota was in Shinjuku again!

Japanese>English

The purpose of my visit to Kawanishi Sake Sales was this. Although it is not written on the label, the sake was labeled as unfiltered raw sake at the store. Unlike the label, it is fruity and modern. It has a refreshing and light taste, but the second half is a bit dry. It has a slightly gaseous taste. It is a bit like Eiko-Fuji, but a little spicier. I wrote it in a subtle way, but it is quite tasty with a good sweetness and flavor. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjyo Nama as well. I think it tastes better after the second day than on the first day.

Today is Valentine's Day!👩‍❤️‍👨 This Sake paired very well with the filet mignon I prepared for my wife. There is a full mouth feel with umami. There is a light smoke flavor and wood. The aftertaste is short.

Cowboy bought me this as a souvenir from Niigata! Yay! Yamahai is great! The design is cool too! It's crisp and mellow, and I drank a bottle so fast... I want to drink it again!

Japanese>English

It comes with a gusto at first, and both the umami and sourness come into play. Certainly good to drink while washing off the fat from the meat 😀.

#Nagasaki Goto Town# w river/o/pine/hori/fuku/yama I visited with a customer from Hokuriku. To compete with them with seafood, We consulted with them in advance about "Uchiwa Shrimp" caught in Hirado, Nagasaki. We consulted with them in advance and asked them to secure it for us at the market. We had them as sashimi. It was like a smaller horseshoe crab. They were very pleased 😁. Now for the 🍶... For a moment, I thought it would be dry. I thought it was dry, I felt sweetness. The freshness goes well with sashimi. The shrimp was served in miso soup later 🎉.

Japanese>English

The second cup is a local sake from Tsushima, which is also rarely seen in the Kansai region. The rice flavor gently spreads in this drink, which I never get tired of drinking. Tsushima is another place I would like to visit someday.

It tastes like typical sake. Here is a description. This sake is made with only 70% sake rice so that the original flavor of the rice can be enjoyed. It is a sake that can be enjoyed as an affordable everyday evening drink. In winter, we recommend heating it up and enjoying it with hot pot dishes.

Japanese>English

Another one this time. It is Takatsugawa by Fusozuru. It is from Shimane Prefecture. I saw Hiraccio-san drinking it and longed for it 🙌. First at room temperature. The color is a solid yellow. The aroma is mildly savory with a hint of maturity. It smells like caramel, soy sauce, and cream cheese. The mouthfeel is gentle. The palate is drowned in the complex flavor of aged rice with a moderate acidity. When heated up, it becomes smoother and more balanced, and you can just keep on drinking it. It has a relaxing and soothing taste. When tasted with a thick Shigaraki-ware sake cup, the warmth of the clay makes it taste even better. The warmth of the clay makes it even softer and happier 💕. Aizu girl and the Takatsu River I will relax my body and soul in the late winter. What a good evening drink 😊.

It was served lukewarm with sukiyaki for the first time this season.
