One of the sake I wanted to try because of the stylish label❗️ A hint of pear? White peach? It smells like pear or white peach 😅 Elegant sweetness and almost no sourness ❗️ No bitterness or habits, and the aftertaste seems to disappear easily 😄. Overall, it's a gentle sake that goes well with meals. It's a delicious sake that can be drunk easily on its own 👍 Even sake beginners can enjoy it 😄.

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.

#Nagasaki Goto Town# w river/o/pine/hori/fuku/yama I visited with a customer from Hokuriku. To compete with them with seafood, We consulted with them in advance about "Uchiwa Shrimp" caught in Hirado, Nagasaki. We consulted with them in advance and asked them to secure it for us at the market. We had them as sashimi. It was like a smaller horseshoe crab. They were very pleased 😁. Now for the 🍶... For a moment, I thought it would be dry. I thought it was dry, I felt sweetness. The freshness goes well with sashimi. The shrimp was served in miso soup later 🎉.

Like yesterday, Shiratake-san. I think it was the one with the most intense flavor during the tasting (we received a lot of it, probably... You can still feel the umami and sweetness of the rice. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter and lingers for a long time. (PS: After about 30 minutes of pouring the cold sake into a Kimura glass piccolo, the aroma of ripe melon spread through the glass. After drinking it, it is still melon. It went from rice to melon🍈) My mistake, or rather my assumption, was that the addition of brewer's alcohol would refresh me. But after tasting it at Hakutake-san, it was the opposite... The same goes for this sake. The sardine was grilled with salt, well oiled and grilled to a high strength. The skin is crispy and you can even eat the bones. The flavor spreads and goes very well with white rice. The yeast we were allowed to taste, 1801 and No. 7, was said to be used at the brewery. I believe this is No. 7... I'm sorry if I'm wrong, it's frustrating to drink and not know 🙏.

The only sake brewery in Tsushima. Shiratake Sake Brewery (Former Kawachi Sake Brewery) During the waiting time at Tsushima Airport, I enjoyed Tsushima venison? and enjoyed it, but I was not feeling very well, so I will refrain from commenting at this time. I drank it again at home. I first drank it cold, but it had a strong umami and sweetness from the rice. The sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I could go on and on with just this one... (Come to think of it, I would drink it on the rocks...) (By the way, we were told that it can be served on the rocks or with fruit.) Added -> I remembered that and tried it on the rocks. No way, it became more, rice, this is delicious. It's not the type that stands out for its flamboyance, but rather the rice, so I imagine it would go well with anything that goes with rice when it's hot 💭. I'll fill in additional information when I have that opportunity. 60°(Additional note I wonder if I made it too hot as the alcohol became more pronounced? Maybe it would have been better to warm it up to human skin... I drank it all up, so I couldn't compare any more...

I bought this brand together with Ken-Aizan because I had not yet had any of Kangiku's other brands. The flavor is not as impressive as Ken-Aizan, but it is an honest and tasty type of sake. I like Kangiku's sake as a whole, and I always find a good flavor in a modest way.

Japanese>English

The sake is of 90% polishing ratio. A very bubbly sake with fragrance of white flower, white peach and apple. The texture is light, with flavours of grapes and pear, also tasted sour. Not much umami but it gets more alcoholic flavor when it gets warmer. Best if drink chilled.

In the fall of 2023, I ordered Ken Aizan, and for one reason or another, when I first tasted it a year later, I was surprised by its flavor and taste. When I learned last month that Ken-Aizan was being shipped again, I immediately pre-ordered. Once again, the flavors are wonderfully complex, the body is very well balanced, the bubbles are subdued, and it is an excellent match for meat dishes and curries. Considering the price and difficulty of obtaining this sake, I believe it is not at all inferior to Sansho's Kako and will certainly be a repeat purchase.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.

先月池亀を飲んで黒兜も飲んでみたいなー🙄なんて投稿をしていたのですが、次の日の青山三河屋のインスタに黒兜入荷の告知が😂 早速買ってまいりました。この時期限定の生酒で最近流行りの白麹でも紅麹でもなく黒麹を使っているそうです。上立ち香はほんのりイチゴのシロップ🍓のような甘い香り。口に含むと綺麗な酸味に透明感のある甘味と旨味。仄かな甘味を感じながらスッとキレていく感じ。池亀のお酒は2本目ですが、ここのお酒は透明感をすごく感じますね。美味しかったです🍶✨🐢

Today, I went shopping at Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple. And by the way? I thought I'd buy some sake. Chomei-sen! The name is good luck! I had no choice but to buy it. I thought, "I have no choice but to buy it! I want to cherish my good luck! I took it home and opened the bottle, thinking I would drink it as it was cold there. No blowout. First, the supernatant. I could feel some acidity. After that, I stirred it well, poured it into a glass, and drank it! It is sweet! As soon as you think that, it goes from dry to sharp. And then the four-pack was gone.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima This is a light flavor. It has a moderate alcohol content, a slight sweetness, and a crisp finish. It was a good food sake that can be drunk without hesitation. ❣️

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be pressed on the morning of Risshun 🍶. The aroma on the nose is fruity🍍 and sweet. When you take it into your mouth, it has a deep, mild sweetness and umami that is typical for a draft sake, and it finishes with a slight astringent taste. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I was aware that it was originally intended to be a classic sake, but as I expected from a sake pressed in the morning of Risshun, it was a fresh, elegant, and sweet sake with a great aroma. I was very satisfied with the sake, which tasted even better than I had imagined.

I bought it because a liquor store in my neighborhood started handling Tajima. I was surprised at how fruity it was. It is fresh, moderately sweet, and delicious. It is a more modern sake than I expected. After drinking this after the first time, it feels more like a sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

This sake was tasted at the Kobe Hankyu event and made a good impression, and was highly praised by Nemuchi-san. A liquor store in my neighborhood became a special distributor, but I was wondering why they didn't carry this sake. It was in the fridge of a point system sake, so I thought 😅😅I thought, "No way, I can buy it normally. I thought so, but I was able to buy it normally😅. It's confusing💦. The rice is Hyogo Nishiki. Sweet aroma. It is fire-aged but has a quite rich flavor. It is better not to cool it down too much. It is a little smoky.

(^_^)🍶🍶🍶+ GW Tohoku Tour (2) 🍶Drinking set 🍶 at Izakaya 🏮 in the basement of the station 📐 with Definition Mountain Fried Tofu 📐. I think it was a clear and dry sake that goes well with food 🤔.

Japanese>English

A bottle given to me by my predecessor, who recently reached retirement age. He said it was a thank-you for the 3 kg of new rice he delivered every year during his tenure, which he called a "taste test. Rice has become sake! The nose has a fruity ginjo aroma, but the fragrance is subdued. The mouthfeel has a gentle, round sweetness and a satisfying umami. The fruity feeling that passes through the nose and the mild acid bitterness that comes at the end disappear slowly and gently. I had an image that Houyo was not my favorite, but this is good! I can say that when it comes to high-class wines, this one is genuinely tasty. Thank you very much for the sake!

Japanese>English

It is said to be the oldest brewery in Miyagi Prefecture. Fresh and mellow. The acidity is strong. I wonder if it is better to let it sit for a while after opening it. As expected, sweetness appeared on the 3rd day. I wonder if Houyou tastes better on the third day 🤔.
