It has a powerful taste reminiscent of Awamori, with a The aftertaste is somewhat refreshing. It is perfect when served with raftage. It is also good with Chinese food. Aiming to conquer the whole country I had bought it at an antenna store and found it to be a little twisted. It was a little twisted, so I ordered it from the brewery. I ordered this time from the brewery.

Japanese>English

In an effort to conquer the whole country, the I bought it at an antenna store. It had a strong punch and a peculiar quirk. When paired with Chinese food as if it were Shaoxing wine It was a curious match. I'm not sure if it's because of the storage conditions at the antenna store. I felt it was a little twisted. I would like to purchase online from the brewery again.

Japanese>English

For the fifth cup, I went for "Reimei"! It's a delicious taste with a stronger sweetness than the last time I drank it and a stronger awamori feel than ever before! I've had it a few times and it was probably the best ✨.

#OsakaUmeda# I have an important meeting, I arrived in Osaka. Actually, I arrived early, I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆. I had this before the meeting. Sweet and sticky 🐴.... I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

Japanese>English

Polishing rice 70%. Sake from Shimane, and cheap, so I bought it on impulse. I bought it on impulse at Tokyu Food Show in Shibuya. The aroma is a little bit sweet, but the flavor is strong. It has a strong umami flavor. The acidity is a bit strong on the palate. The aftertaste is quite long! Not too pungent, but not sweet either. It has an interesting taste! Maybe it's a food sake. It's not too much of a distraction, but it's nice.

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

Japanese>English

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

I had it lukewarm 🍶. I had not had much sake from Aomori, so I was looking forward to it. It is easy to drink without any peculiarities. I got the impression that it is a sake that can be easily matched with any meal, Japanese or Western 😃.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. I bought it at the end of last year at an antenna store in Toyama. I didn't know about this brand. The color is a light amber. The color is pale amber, and the flavor is just as it should be. It's relatively easy to drink because it's crisp and not overpowering, but it didn't seem to suit my partner who likes floral and sweet flavors. It didn't match well with the grilled chicken, but I think it will swell up with time, so I'll leave it for a while. It's quite a unique sake, and I don't dislike it!

Japanese>English

I have had Taitozan before, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it for the first time in a while. It has a slightly astringent white wine-like aftertaste with almost no sweetness. I think it is best to drink it with fish dishes, which is a standard white wine. Since it is winter from now on, yellowtail and radish would be delicious. I, of course, drink it only with sake.

Japanese>English

The first drink at Ishininkin in front of Toyama Station. It is dry but not too strong.

This was my first Koganezawa, a gift from someone. It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from Gohyakumangoku, so I had an image that it was quite refreshing, but it tasted just as it should. But it also has a strong umami of rice and is easy to drink without any peculiarities 😆 It is easy to pair with meals and I was off in no time 🤣. It was easy to match with meals and we finished it in no time 🤣.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Brut✨Hitomebore🌾 from Miyagi Prefecture. Gentle and easy to drink. ☺️ Good balance. Well balanced. It is as easy to drink as water when paired with corn kakiage (deep fried corn). It is a great complement to salmon. Hateful guy who makes you eat more 😅 Umi to @Takadanobaba 20230810

Ordered after the taxi driver. Also raw sake. It's called "Soma no Tengu". It is not possible to read it if it notices the frigana of the label. I'm sorry. It's as difficult to read as Kireuriwari in Osaka. Well, how is the taste...? It's been a long time since I drank muddled sake, so I had a strange feeling at the first sip, but the sweetness came, and I thought it was characteristic to change to sourness soon. I drank it up with some sea bream stew and enjoyed it.

This is also a 3-day record. Chiebijin was not enough, so I threw in a small bottle. This is the pink label of Yatsuka, which I have come to like! It feels more rounded than Chiebijin. Delicious!

Japanese>English

The brewery is more impressive for its shochu Ginza no Suzume than for its sake. Tasted and purchased. It has a gorgeous aroma and is fruity even when drunk. 1801 yeast is used, making it a sweet and fruity sake that is easy to understand. I wish they would release a fresh sake of this one. I felt it was sweeter and fruity at room temperature than when it was chilled to the perfect temperature.

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 😚

Japanese>English

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 🤔.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store Uehonmachi at the end of the year as part of a tasting. It has sweetness, richness, and a clean aftertaste. It was very tasty.
