Yamatsuru is the closest sake brewery to my house, but I haven't had much of it lately. The last time I drank it I got the impression that it was peculiar and not really my cup of tea, but not this Junmai Daiginjo! Clear and fruity, good balance of flavors. It's also gorgeous😋. The price is reasonable for a Junmai Daiginjo, but I think it's worth it🧐 I can't underestimate local sake 😚

Low-polished Junmai-shu from Yamatsuru, a local sake brewery in Ikoma, Nara. The name is Choyao. It was a gift, but it looks like it will cost a fortune💧. I heard it was brewed using a method described in a wooden letter from the Nara period. I wonder if it is true. Anyway, let's try it. Wow! It is indeed as rich and sweet as I had heard! The sake level is a whopping -40❗️ But the aftertaste is refreshing. Surprisingly easy to drink and delicious 😋. It's pretty good 👍I'll have to try this one too 😙. But I wonder if people in the Nara period really enjoyed this kind of sake 🤔.

(3,000 yen) (3,000 yen) (3,000 yen) An expensive sake purchased on order. The aroma has a slight alcohol smell. When you drink it, it has a sour taste, but you can also taste sweetness! It has a heavy but clean aftertaste. I like it!

Japanese>English

It is a gift! Plenty of malted rice. Put it in a barrel. Isn't this whiskey? It smells faintly like it. Take a sip. Yeah, it's not whiskey... is it?　It's sake! My first experience.　Yum!

Japanese>English

It has a slightly yellowish color and a peculiar, strong taste. Still, the aftertaste is sharp and sweet. Can be served with sashimi.

The sake is brewed by "Toroki Shouten", a sake brewer who was involved in growing the rice and brewing it together with Wakatakeya Sake Brewery. I got it as a sign of support 😊 Is it what's called a light, dry taste? It had a faintly sweet aroma, but the sip was refreshingly watery! The flavor and bitterness come out on the palate. I was drinking it with cream cheese as an entrée, but it doesn't get in the way, so it's probably just right for a mid-meal drink 😊.

Wakatakeya Junmai Hiyadoroshi Tanushimaru-cho, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture Sake rice: Yume Ikkyo The aroma is full of alcohol. The taste of rice is directly conveyed in the mouth. The alcohol also comes on strong. Room temperature.

Japanese>English

A big hit. The aroma is very strong with a hint of sake. The aroma is a strong sake-like flavor, but the melon flavor is not as sweet and refreshing as one would expect from a sake with a strong sake flavor. The aftertaste was a strong sense of rice flavor. It was delicious.

A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata. My colleague introduced me to Miyakoya and I bought it. It was a very tasty sake with the beautiful lightness and umami of Niigata. The bonito was also very nice and fatty, so it made for a good dinner.

I bought it in a trial size because I had an image that it looked peculiar. It has a unique flavor that I've never experienced before😳 It's so good! I loved it the first time I opened the bottle😋. I wanted to keep it to enjoy the change in flavor, but it was gone in one night 🤪. I would buy this in a bigger bottle👍.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have a better time with you guys! It's hot again today 😟 so I dared to have a room temperature sake on a hot day 😀 Tschida 99. The aroma is gorgeous and when you drink it, it explodes with super rich flavor and sourness 💣️💥The aftertaste is short and snappy and delicious😙It's like a summer sake with a lot of flavor.

Japanese>English

I'll take a small 300ml bottle of Mr. Tsuchida's new sake🙏. It has a fresh taste with the richness and sweetness that only Tsuchida can provide 😆 . The acidity is not so strong, but the flavor is mild and full, and I can't get enough of it...(******)=3 I learned about the appeal of low-fermentation sake from Macho and Tsuchida's Gunma sake ☺️. I knew it, but I should have bought a big bottle (^_^;) I'm working night shift tomorrow, I'll do my best 💪.

The rice used is Akita Sake Komachi It has a good sweetness and is crisp and clean. It is a good food sake. When I find a sake like this, I buy it immediately.

I was wondering what the same company that did Tenka and Shihu would do with the Meimon Shukai now that they've taken over the business? I was wondering what they were going to do with the prestigious sake associations, and then they released it 😊. Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Is it white malted rice? It's so acidic that I thought it was white malted rice. It also has a slightly dry atmosphere. It has a unique taste, but it is delicious. I wonder if the product for the Meimon Shukai that was sold before was Yuyamanishiki, but instead of using Yuyamanishiki, they used Gohyakumangoku to separate it from Honami.

Very dry and light. The spiciness is also strong, but the malted rice aroma and aftertaste are typical of San'in. This balance is the best! You can enjoy the wide range of tastes when it is heated up, and it is also very good when it is cold. It also goes very well with cold sake. Mr. Ota is a rerun of Nara! The scenery of Nara is exhilarating and calming!

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

Japanese>English

Dry taste that goes well with chicken on the bone. It washes away the oil from the chicken. A quick sip with a cup of sake will reset your palate from the strong flavors of tsukune, kawa, liver, etc., and you will be ready for the next dish. You will be ready for the next dish in a flat state.
