Sometimes a cup of sake, a Niigata souvenir 🍶Classic taste, but with a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste 😋Thanks for the delicious taste!

Special Junmai🍶Hiyagoroshi The 4th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jin is here. The feeling of rice. It can be taken as a bit of a tangy or umami taste. The aftertaste is quite dry. The pickled nanban and the spicy miso will advance the sake 😅The regulars make good use of a 100 yen store accessory case to hold the plastic cups. It was helpful ✨.

Tonight, it is this sake. No, it is a very tasty sake with acidity on it. p Since this sake is from Iwate, the accompaniment is mamebu soup. It is seasoned with soy sauce made by Fuji Isamu in Miyako. It warms the body. Right? Isn't plain sake fun? Let's make a sake club.

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! I still admire Golden Gai!

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.

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)

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.

Japanese>English

Bicchu tasted a sake from Jindai. Sanko Masamune, when I drank the junmai sake before, seemed quite mellow, but the junmai ginjo was just the right density, probably due to the difference in rice polishing ratio. It is also a very tasty sake.

I had the 2nd day off after the New Year, but I worked from the 3rd to the 6th, including the night shift. I also went home to my family, so I went to a hot spring to work out and had my annual drink at my parents' house 😁. Snow Kirara ARA-SHIBORI ［The top clear liquid.] Aroma of mellow rice flavor, fresh and smooth taste, sweetness, and a lingering aftertaste of freshness and alcohol, and finally bitterness on the tongue. ［Nigori] Aroma of rich rice aroma, mellow sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste. The impactful taste is followed by a refreshing aftertaste, just like the people who received this as a gift, just like the "gari" (pickled ginger) in sushi 🤣. Once you get used to drinking it, the mellow sweetness is irresistible! So, what shall I do this year🤔? I have the urge to visit various places in Japan, and I've been encouraged by the people at the Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line meeting, so I'm thinking vaguely about organizing an Off-line meeting in the Hokuriku block ✨. If you have any comments or opinions, I would appreciate it if you could let me know 😀. The 4th picture is the first crescent moon of the year seen through a break in the clouds 🌛.

Japanese>English

Snow Kirara was a summer gift from a colleague. I have never had this sake before, but I thought the size, the font on the label, the color, and the total cuteness of the sake 🩷. It was very easy to drink in this summer heat👍.

Junmai from the first brewery It seems to be a classical junmai sake. It has the quality of a classic junmai sake. It has the fullness of rice, umami and a gentle mouthfeel. I feel like I'm drinking sake! It makes me feel happy 😊Sweet Aftertaste is like Gohyakumangoku Clear and crisp

Sake from a brewery in my hometown. The original sake, which was brewed in 2001 and entered in a sake competition, was stored in ice for 20 years. We were grateful to receive it.

Today is the day of the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake, and I took it slow, I was in the mood for some country sake. Takanoi sake at room temperature to warmed sake. Newspaper (Niigata Nippo) Maki The taste is not flashy, but when heated up, it has an orthodox and authentic flavor.

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.

A drink that is easy to drink but intoxicating.
