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.

Sake brought back from our trip to Niigata Sake recommended by the lady who was selling it. Very gassy 💨 Sake with a strong moromi Dry and crisp 💪. It's a nigori sake, but you can drink it with gusto as a food sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

For my fourth cup, I decided on the "Koshihikari" which caught my attention! The palate is clean and refreshing, but as you taste it, it mellows out a bit with a banana feel. The acidity tightens it up so that it does not interfere with the taste, so it is well-balanced and easy to drink👍.

Japanese>English

This is probably the first time I have had this sake. It is a Niigata-style sake with a strong umami of rice and a dry, refreshing taste. It is a well-balanced sake. The name of the brewery is quite close to the sea in Nagaoka, so I had never heard of it before.

Wakayama Pref. Ito District. Hatsuzakura Sake Brewery Co. Hatsuzakura Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Sake This is not "Hatsuzakura" from Yasui Shuzo Brewery in Shiga Prefecture, nor "Noto Hatsuzakura" from Sakurada Shuzo in Ishikawa Prefecture, but "Hatsuzakura" from Hatsuzakura Shuzo in Wakayama Prefecture. It is served cold. The color is clear and the yellow color is clearly visible. The top-tasting aroma is slightly caramelized first, followed by alcohol aroma. The mouthfeel is voluminous with a juicy acidity. The nose is filled with aromas of dried fruits and ripe fruits. The mouth is filled with a nutty flavor and a hint of sweetness, followed by a slightly strong acidity. After swallowing, a bitter taste remains on the tongue, followed by a slightly pungent aftertaste. It has a slightly classical flavor, but it has the volume of a draft sake and is very drinkable. On the second day after opening the bottle, the nuttiness subsides a bit, the acidity settles down, and a brown sugar-like richness emerges, making it extremely delicious. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Ingredient rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Wakayama Prefecture Polishing ratio: 55% for Koji rice, 60% for Kake rice Alcohol Content: 18%.

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6) Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery. Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat. I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find. The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake. I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.

Japanese>English

This month we had a lot of drinking outside, so it's been a while since I've had a drink at home! I got a bottle of summer sake "Kashoku", which is rarely seen even in my hometown, because there was some left at the liquor store! The mouthfeel is sweet with a refreshing acidity, and the mellow aroma lingers until the end. It seems that more emphasis is placed on the mellow aroma than on the refreshing taste! Although it is a summer sake, it is a perfect bottle for long nights in autumn. I felt it has the potential to be as good as many dishes in the autumn season of taste.

Shizuku-tori sake from my humble favorite, Ikumidoi-san. The aroma is gently fruity. It is berry-like with acidity. The mouthfeel is gentle, but the volume expands with both sweetness and dryness. It has a very beautiful structure with a disappearing aftertaste. A good sake for stand-alone drinking. I think it would also work well as a heated sake, perhaps because of the image of Ikumichii 👌.

Shimane Local Sake Fair Osaka ③. Ichinomiya Sake Brewery of Iwami Ginzan and Rika. I had bought Yukika at Hanshin Department Store in Amagasaki in the past. I found out that it was Mr. Rika, the toji (master brewer), who was standing in the store at that time😅. I tasted the following Iwami Ginzan Special Junmai Hiyoshi Oroshi Rika Junmai Ginjo Kaihatanryu Ichitunya TANE Nama-zake Yukika Sparkling None of them left much of an impression on me, but I thought the Yukika was as tasty as ever. It was sweet and strong, like a strong calpis soda. I would like to try it again because Sugidama-san in Kyoto sells Iwami Ginzan.

Soft on the palate. The umami flavor spreads gently afterwards.

The sake had a sweet melon-like aroma and gentle sweetness.
