A souvenir from Niigata. The sake was a draft sake, but for a Niigata sake, it was dense and heavy. It is strong, but still easy to drink without the characteristic aroma of hi-ire.

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

Japanese>English

It was my first time after all. This flower dew I think I'd like to try heating it up 🆗. It's a dry sake 🍶. They made onigiri (rice balls) on the spot with big plums from the ume pickles! Rice balls and sake go well together! A little sour, these plums! (a little bit of knowledge about Japanese sake) Ingredient rice: Yume Issho Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 14-15 degrees Celsius

Temperature 5°C Taste 80 Color Pale brown, lighter than highball. Nose: No freshness. Mild. Taste: Soft and rich, like a Hiyamoroshi with a bit of Kijoshu blended in. Overall impression: No signs of damage for a sake that has been sitting in the store for 8 months. However, since it is a draft sake, it probably doesn't taste like it should. I should have compared it with a new one.

Japanese>English

It was sitting in the refrigerated section of a local co-op and there was only one bottle left, so I bought it without a second thought. It was delicious! The first sip has a hint of sweetness, but once it crosses the throat, it is bitter and refreshing. I love it. And I was impressed by the coop's nostalgia..! I checked the brewery and found that it is located in Niigata-Tsugawa. I used to love the hot springs in that area (around Sakibana) and stayed there many times, so I feel nostalgic. I would love to go back.

Memorandum📝. The most addictive sake in hiyaoroshi. It has a bitter and smoky taste, The maturity of the sake envelops you with a roundness from start to finish. It is a sense of security from childhood, surrounded by babysitters. It is an excellent sake that can be served cold or hot. I drank two bottles in one season.

Noge with his eldest son and his wife (1) On Saturday, I received a line from my eldest son saying, "I'm thinking of going to a bedrock bath near our house on Sunday and would like to have dinner afterwards. (My wife went to Izumo where our daughter was staying. (My wife has gone to Izumo with our daughter and Takamatsu with her mother-in-law, so she invited me out since she is alone?) I asked him, "Okay, what time? I asked him what time, and he said noon. There are not many places near my house where you can drink from noon, so we ended up going to Noge. First "shellfish" restaurant I've ever been to. Kikuyu with hot sake (it was a little cold and rainy) 🍶. My oldest son's wife is a sake drinker, so it was perfect! This is my first time drinking it! And I don't usually drink it hot, so I don't know what it is, but it's nice 😋. I can feel the acidity. And the aroma comes in fluffy. I guess I was right in heating it up. Don't eat too much, let's go to the next restaurant!

LOL! I drank it before I took the picture, not caring that the 12 month challenge was over. I ate my snacks before I could even taste them lol. I have a favorite drink. I have delicious food! I am happy!

@sakebar Fukuzo Fire-brewed sake using Fukuoka Prefecture's original yeast called F44. Slightly sweet aroma of 🍍 on the nose. The palate is slightly sweet with a hint of 🍍. The aroma is as if it was made with hana-yosuyu in mind. However, the aroma is weak because it is fire-aged. The sweetness is also weak due to the weak aroma. I am a little curious to see how it would be like if it were a fresh sake. It was delicious ✨🍍.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ㊱ Fukuoka ① Kiku Bijin Sake Brewery in Miyama City This is the first time I have heard of this sake brewery! According to honda's post, Kitahara Hakushu's sister married into the Kikubijin Brewery, so the brewery has a connection with Kitahara Hakushu. Polishing ratio 35%, Yamadanishiki 16%, 4,400 yen Tsukuei" is read as "Tsukubae". It is light, fruity, and has a beautiful taste, but it tastes like an off-flavor.

Japanese>English

Alcohol content: 16 Yume Issen Rice polishing ratio: 60 The back side of Kikubijin. I have never had the front side, and this was my first time to drink the back side. The aroma has a lactic acid bacteria drink feel. The bitterness is predominant and the umami of rice can be felt. It is neither like a dry sake nor a medium dry sake. It is a sake that fits the expression "slightly dry. I think it goes well with all kinds of food.

Today we are going out for a drink. This izakaya is a rare izakaya where you can eat a lot of vegetables 😁The sashimi is also reasonably priced with sea bream and swordfish. They sell vegetables, so they have a large selection of vegetable-based soft drinks. They mainly have local Shizuoka sake, but they also have a lot of Omuraya sake from the famous Omuraya brewery, which is famous for Wakatake and Onna no Nyokase 🧐 This is the first time I've had anything from this brewery. Today's sake was Oni Otome. I was in the mood for a sweet sake. The flavor was full and spreading. It is delicious 😋. We had it with sashimi, tempura, and meat rolls!

This Sake has a full mouth feel and some sweetness at the beginning. The flavor of this Sake is bigger than other Seitoku Sake but it still has good balance. Very good with big flavor foods like mapo tofu.

This Sake has an initial sweetness and a full mouth feel. There is a hint of cedar as the alcohol clears my pallet. Very good with big flavor foods like yakiniku. Seitoku has many Sake that I enjoy.

This Sake is light, refreshing and easy to drink. I am revisiting this Sake because it has been a while since I last drank it. I enjoy the mild flavors of apple and melon with a clean, short aftertaste. This is a refreshing and well balanced Sake.

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

On this day, I drove to my wife's parents' home in Saku. When we arrived after a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Tokyo, this local sake was waiting for us. It has an ear of rice on it. I will have a sip. It has the acidity and mellowness of a sake yeast yeast strain, and is dry and crisp. Tiredness melts away.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.
