I opened a bottle of a souvenir I bought in Hawaii. This one is a so-called craft saké of lilikoi (passion fruit). I had heard that they had built a brewery relatively close to Waikiki and wanted to go there, but unfortunately, the brewery has moved to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2022, leaving only the store. The aroma was sour and koji-like, with a hint of Japanese sake, and a soft tropical breeze! It is not as fruity as one might imagine. When you taste it, it has a light, acidic flavor, but it is not a citrusy, sour sake either. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity with a clean aftertaste, but it also has more rice than expected, making it more like a sake. It has a tropical flavor, but I thought it would be more like a juice. It goes well with vinegar-based foods such as salads. The volume is blinding, but the end of the bottle has more lilikoi than the beginning. The flavor is refreshingly tropical and astringent when you bite into the seeds, and the sake flavor is light. I enjoyed it with thoughts such as, "I want to go back soon. By the way, the store that handles Junmai Ginjo...which part of Junmai is Junmai? I thought, "What part of Junmai is Junmai? If I have a chance, I would like to try the Junmai one.

The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix ④ Islander sake brewery had a stall at "Sake World Summit in KYOTO" and we were curious about it. Since the system of multiple lines was not good for time performance, bouken and I changed to a sharing strategy. They had passion fruit, Kona coffee, and Junmai Daiginjo. ISLANDER SAKE Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-Genshu. It was a proper sake with a gentle acidity and a rather refreshing taste. It is a loose sake that is a little lacking in my opinion. The price is expensive, so I don't think I will buy it. ISLANDER SAKE Kona Coffee The color is a little brownish and it smells like coffee. I always drink my coffee black, so I thought it was very light coffee. I don't think I'll buy this one either. Here, I ran into the owner and manager of "Sake Bar Shinshiro," which I had visited with bouken-san before.

⭐︎ This year we received another sake brewed on the island of Hawaii. The taste is a jun-dai with a good balance of sweetness and acidity, deep aroma and very smooth on the palate. Thank you again for the delicious sake. 🙇‍♂️

Sake from a brewery famous for Ryujinmaru. It has been a very long time since Kirakuri. After Shikishima, tkmts-san was drinking Ryujinmaru, and I wanted to try something of Takagaki-san's sake, so I chose Kirakuri. This time it was an unfiltered raw Nakadori. It has a caramelized taste with sweetness and a sense of maturity. It's just a coincidence that there is a succession of sakes with a sense of maturity, such as Washin, Shikishima, and Kirakuri.

At Ya-Ya in Kobe. This is the first time to drink Neko Masamune since it was transferred from the defunct Omi Sake Brewery to Maihime🐱. It has a sweet taste with a slight graininess from the freshness. It tastes a little messy, but it's not that bad, right? Might prefer it to Omi Neko Masamune 🤔. It's quite fruity and has a pungent and alu taste, but maybe it's good? It's sweeter the longer it's been open.

I was curious about Ishizuchi's Princess, but I saw this one and bought it. It is sweet and sour. This sweet and sour makes me imagine the first love of a certain princess who has feelings for his person in New York....

This is a driver's sake that cannot be tasted on the Suwa Gokura tour. Only this brewery offered small bottles of sake instead of cups. I must drink it this year😅. The aroma is calm with a little bit of alcohol smell. The sweetness of the rice flavor and the well-balanced acidity were delicious. This was my first time drinking Maihime sake in Suwa, and I loved it 😁.

At the tasting. It was explained to me that it was dry. It is certainly dry, but it has a gentle spiciness. It has a mild mouthfeel. I bought Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate after comparing the drinks.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It has a strong taste, but it's still refreshing to drink. It has a color and a feeling of old wine, but it's easy to drink, so I don't think you'll like it or dislike it that much. It's delicious!

Carefully pressed in the tank at Yamaji Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo My parents stopped by a coffee event in Kinomoto at a coffee event in Kinomoto and bought some for me 😊. Brewed with flower yeast, this sake has a gorgeous aroma Clear, clean and dry. Noble taste, delicious! Because the land has good groundwater, the sake is delicious Sake is good and coffee is good too! I guess it will be 🍶☕️

We went on a bullet trip to a hot spring in Gunma 😆♨️ Before arriving at the ryokan, we went to a local liquor store. I decided to buy some Gunma sake at a local liquor store before we arrived at the ryokan! I was so excited, I visited Takahashi Yo Shoten for the first time, which I sometimes order from Corona Disaster! I visited Takahashi Yoh Shoten for the first time! I found a bottle of sake that I had ordered before and was very impressed. The Gan brewed by Mikito Takai, who is no longer with the company, was really delicious, so I chose the New Gan with the feeling that I would like to try it too. I was surprised to find that it was brewed by Mikito Takai! And it's still delicious 😭✨ It was great slightly chilled, but also great warmed 👍. Not spectacular, but deeply delicious... And it's so cosy! I brought home the rest of the bottle. I'm going to drink it with care 🍶🎶.

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

Like delicious apple Cold rice flavor Similar characteristics to 2022BY Kaze no Mori Alpha8 brewed with brown rice Other brewed sake craft saké because it is not just brown rice but germinated brown rice.

Japanese>English

Overall 10 (out of 10) This is the first sake I've ever had. It is a sake brewery that has been revived as a craft sake in the modern age after 100 years of history! According to the description The secondary ingredient is germinated brown glutinous rice produced in Shiwa Town. It has an aroma very close to that of sake, and you can enjoy its dignified, gorgeous aroma and fresh sweetness. according to the brewery's description. Delicious 😋. Good aroma👍 Sweetness, umami, and spiciness with an independent presence that does not mix with the sweetness. And yet it is clear and transparent with a simple "water" feeling. The final taste is a little bit rummy, and it closes with the taste of rum. I got such an impression👍😋😋. It was served chilled. The aroma I felt was 　-Aroma: Aroma of rice and a little bit of rummy 👍 　-Aroma: A slight spiciness and bitterness that passes through the nose. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum) 　-Spiciness: Start 1 → Lingering 2 　-Sweetness: Beginning 2→ Lingering 2 　-Sourness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1 　-Rice flavor: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt】→3 Smaller number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.

Tamamura Head Office, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano When I visited Nagano in October, I purchased this bottle of sake at a liquor store near Zenkoji Temple. I was attracted by the phrase "sake made from jikasai rice," which is grown without any pesticides and with only minimal organic fertilizers, so I bought it. It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, and I was surprised at how clear the aroma and mouthfeel were! But the aftertaste is delicious with a terrible aftertaste and some miscellaneous flavors.

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

@sakebar Fukuzo Kobayashi Shuzo Honten located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This will be my first time here too 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. Delicious 🍶✨.

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!

Japanese>English

Gorgeous melon-like aroma typical of daiginjos. Slightly sweet and light. It is said to be slightly filtered to preserve the flavor of the main body of the sake. Therefore, it is slightly yellow in color.
