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 😄.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Ibaraki Sake 🍶. Sake rice: 100% Koshihikari produced in Tango, Kyoto Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol: 15-16° C, unfiltered, raw sake, black malted rice sake mother

Japanese>English

Shirakiku Aged Sake Honjozo 15-16% 70% 1.8ml It is like a plum wine with a moderate sweetness. It has a peculiar taste. And it has the maximum seme feeling. There are days when you can enjoy it, and other days when your body can't handle the peculiarity. This kind of sake should be heated. Yes, I can handle it this way. But as it gets to room temperature, it gets more and more peculiar. I wonder how long this sake has been aged. If it has been aged for a long time, it should be written on the label. I tried to check the brewery's information, but it went bankrupt! They went bankrupt! It's a good thing I went to the brewery last. It's a pity, because the Junmai Genzake was a delicious sake with a good price. Rating 3.5 (out of 5.0) 20240301

A local sake from Futtsu, Chiba... A faint fruity aroma... A sweet bitterness with a strong bitterness typical of local sake! The flavor of the rice soaks in... The bitterness is followed by a sharpness! It's a good sake to drink while eating.... It's similar to Kotobuki Mangame from Chiba. It's a drink to be enjoyed in small quantities. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Chiba Prefecture Antenna Shop, which was open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station. I had drunk Seisen from the same brewery in the past and was not fond of hiyaoroshi, but I was impressed with it. The first aroma was already gorgeous. It is sweet and a little tangy on the palate. The second half is a little spicy. It was more delicious than I had imagined. Overall, I'd say it's fruity and dry.

Japanese>English

Takeoka Special Junmai So no Mai Aroma: fresh, pear-like fruity ginjo aroma The color is beautifully clear. Texture is slightly thick. Light on the palate with a slightly tangy mouthfeel Juicy sweetness and refreshing sourness spread at once It has a pear-like flavor, but there is definitely some rice flavor inside, and the slight astringency that comes later tightens up the whole flavor. The aftertaste leaves a tangy sensation. The return aroma is beautiful and the soft umami of the rice leaves a presence that makes the lingering taste enjoyable. The sake is delicious enough on its own. It would be great with grilled white meat fish or fruit salad.

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 🤔.

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.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

First time at a liquor store in years. My first brand. Cold sake Gentle apple compote aroma. Light, well-balanced sweetness and umami spread slowly afterwards. The aftertaste flows smoothly.

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.

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.

Brewed by Takizawa Honten in Narita, Chiba Chomeisen Daiginjo Nama Sake This sake Feel the freshness => Feel the heat in your throat => Feel the heat in your throat Feel the heat in your throat Gorgeous aroma escapes from the nose😊. Very nice sake 🍶✨😊.

Japanese>English

While the children were away, my wife and I made a hasty decision to go out for a short visit to Narita-san. I am not sure if we visited Mt. Narita on the way to the shrine or on the way to Mt. Narita...but at any rate, the 800-meter-long approach to the shrine is lined with stores of various sizes, making our hearts dance. First, the smoke lured us in, and we toasted with 🍺 while smacking our lips over the local specialty, eel-jyu (eel stew). It might have been a nuisance for Fudo-san to see us after such a long day, but I am sure it must have brought him some good luck. On the way home, I bought a modest bottle of sake No. 2 as a souvenir from Chomeisen, Narita's only sake brewery. It was a rather classical ginjo, easy to drink without any peculiarities, but in other words, it was not memorable. I was a bit reluctant to buy a bottle of the summer-only nama-shu, but I had a reason to go back to Narita...so I'll take it as a good thing. Sowaka.
