June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drinking sake. The last and seventh drink of the day was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori. It is a mellow, sweet and delicious sake, easy to drink easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. It is easy to drink without feeling alcohol content. It was delicious with grilled sea eel and I enjoyed it with grilled sea eel and tanzaku yam.

I worked hard, so I opened a bottle of Snoclet followed by this one. Sweet, good, a little sourness, bitterness, and a bit of gusto there. Awesome ‼️ I like it better than Snoclet. I'm honored Chrysanthemum, I'll keep chasing it, even if it costs more for shipping: ‼️

Japanese>English

When the bottle is opened, bam! As expected...it's a fresh and fruity aroma...and the mouthfeel is fresh, sweet, and bitter...with a hint of sourness. I'm sipping it with seared sea bream, sea bream, and seared Spanish mackerel as snacks...a little...sweet...but delicious...(^^)

Souvenir sake from a business trip to Aga Town🍶. The nose has a very subtle yellow hue, a calm aroma full of umami, and a rich flavor with a mix of sourness and umami that spreads out from the first impression. The lingering taste is also slightly acidic and has a long aftertaste.

Cooled Sake Orange Nutty Amino Acidity

夢窓 1

Mie Pref. Matsusaka City. Shinra Sake Brewery Co. Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Sake, undiluted. Purchased at a sake shop in Tsu City Station, where the brewer himself took us on the way back from the Mie Sake Event. It is a rare sake with a very small production. We will drink it cold. When I looked closely, I noticed something floating around in the bottle, probably the lees of amino acid clumps. The color is clear and dark golden, like amber. The top aroma is mushrooms, humus, and a slight roasted, aged aroma derived from malted rice. On the palate, the aroma on the nose is complex, with an axial strength that is typical of the original sake and a sense of nostalgic old, withered sake, with a mild acidity that would have been sharp without the sweetness, and a slight astringency and a slight umami taste. After swallowing, there is a skittish spiciness, and the sense of maturity is gone, which is a strange sensation. When I heated it up, it went from amino acid sweetness and mellow umami to a sharp dry aftertaste. This is a sake for connoisseurs. I learned a lot from it. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 17

The 5th Shinmame Festival, the 5th Kanno Thanksgiving Mie Shinshu Matsuri (10) I was a little excited to see the brewer of Shinra Sake Brewery, who was a part of the Mie Sake Enjoyment Group event, but he did not show up this time, which was a shame. ◉Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Genshu This sake is produced in extremely small quantities. It has a thick nutty flavor. It has a chocolate and caramel taste, which is also quite unique. The richness has a classical feel to it. I think I can understand why the brewer made old, matured sake. I bought it at the Mie Sake Festival, and it's sitting in the fridge, but I might leave it alone for a while.

1948 2025/10 Yumemado Tokubetsu Junmai Nama-nazake 60% 17° 25/8 A+ Matsuzaka City, Mie 720 1776 This sake is a pure sake that has been aged for a long time. The aroma is mild on the palate, and the flavor is somewhat nostalgic, but with a robust taste and a bit of character behind it. It was my first time drinking this sake, but I got the impression that it was a simple but very tasty sake I used to drink in the past. When heated up, the flavor became more mellow and different from that of cold sake. While everyone is trying to be modern and end up with the same old thing, this is a sake that is safe to drink and tastes like the old-fashioned way, I am thankful for the old-fashioned sake that I can drink with peace of mind. Although the type of sake is a little different, I felt happy to have found a new sake in the same Mie region as Miyamasugi, which I can no longer drink.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The other day, when I was in Okunoto on business, I was given a bottle of freshly brewed sake at Tsuruno Sake Brewery, the brewery that produces Taniizumi 👍I asked the cashier to put a label on it and brought it back 😙. Slightly melon-like aroma 😊Smooth on the palate, with a refreshing umami and acidity 😚Smooth, clean finish 🥰Overall, not flashy, but would go well with any dish 🥳👍.

VOICE: 🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I got my second hiyaoroshi bottle of Taniizumi from Ishikawa Prefecture 😀 It's my first sake from this brewery 🍶The toji-san seems to be a woman 😀. The aroma is gentle 😊and when you drink it, the mouthfeel is gentle 😚It has a nice calm flavor and richness 🥰It also has a nice sharpness 🥰It is easy to drink and match with any food 🤩.

Japanese>English

I've always wanted to drink Taniizumi! I wasn't sure which one to choose, but on the other hand, it looks like the regular sake is harder to find, so I chose this one😃! It's a regular sake, but apparently it's Fukuroshibori! The first sip gave me the impression that it was a traditional sake☺️. The first sip was like a traditional sake ☺️ I could taste the strong grain flavor but then the sweetness and mellowness came through 😚 it wasn't dry 😆.

The third group of the Sake Rice and Yeast Association is Gintome and Yuko's Idea from Iwate Prefecture. Iwate is often named after the pure-heartedness of the Tohoku region or after Kenji Miyazawa, and the rice is Gintome, which is a Gin user. Yuko, the yeast, seems to be named after the developer, Ms. Yuko Yamashita of the Iwate Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. It is a clear, dry sake. Sake from Iwate is interesting in many ways. To be continued.

We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

Miho Tottori GET your long awaited warmed sake! This is a nigori sake made from Yamada-Nishiki, with a deep flavor that is delicious warmed up. Handmade tofu with salmon roe on the side!

Japanese>English

This will be my first time in Sanin Togo🍶. The first aroma is sweet, with a hint of grain rather than rice. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity and a sweet umami taste of rice. It has a slight peculiarity similar to that of Ten Asahi or Benten Musume, but this is acceptable. I enjoyed it with oysters in oil 🦪. San-in region's heated sake has its own peculiar taste 🤔. Thanks for the food 🍶.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Japanese>English

There is no mention of it, but it is probably nama sake. It is not labeled as Nama-shu, but according to the information on the Internet, the label on the back of the bottle says it needs to be kept chilled, which means it is Nama-shu. Am I right? The rice is Ginbukiyo and Nihonbare. It also looks like a raw sake. It does not feel as spicy as the sake level, and although it is spicy, there is a good balance of sweet and spicy. The taste is light and refreshing. The spiciness finishes with a lingering sweetness. There is a good amount of graininess.

Japanese>English

There are still many sake breweries in Shiga that I have not tried. It has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu, but it is also very drinkable and does not try to be carried away by the current style of easy-drinking.
