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...(^^)

( 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 🥳👍.

Japanese>English

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 😆.

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 🍶.

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.

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.

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑫ Mochizuki Shuzo and Suzukabuto booth. The youngest toji in Shiga Prefecture who used to not talk much, but this time he was able to talk a lot. ◉Jusakabuto Special Junmai Namaishu A full-bodied, mellow type of sake with a unique aroma on the nose. The aroma on the nose is unique, but not unpleasant. ◉Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire The aroma is clear and calm, a little loose and lackluster. It has a pungent aftertaste. ◉Juzukabuto Junmai Ginjo Namaishu Fresh, with a firm umami and a little bit of sake. It has a freshness to it, a firm umami, and a slight sake-like quality. The Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu and the Hi-ire Shu have almost identical labels, but there is a small note on the label saying that the sake has been hi-ire and needs to be stored cold. It seems that after Corona, they started storing more regular sake and now they are reducing production. They haven't raised the price yet, but they said that from now on the situation will be such that they will either sell it for rice or make it to earn money for rice. I'll have to drink and support them.

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

Japanese>English

It is a mellow umakuchi sake from Aizu. It has a nice balance between the mild sweetness of rice and juicy acidity.

Japanese>English

The sake was easy to drink, and lived up to its reputation for being "popular among women. The impression was of a mellow, fruity flavor that spread as soon as it entered the mouth. The sweetness does not persist, and in general, it is an easy-drinking sake that goes well with all kinds of food. (Cold sake is best).

(*´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 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.

We had no choice but to take out Toyoga from the cooler box 🧰 in the car and drink it in the room with my senpai. Tennyo no shizuku, it was delicious!

It's been a long time since I've had a good sake! It has a soft and gentle taste, and I ended up drinking too much ...... lol. I had a hard time the next day. But the next day I drank too much again.
