Fukushima again today. And raw sake! Huh? No tingling sensation? And it's not so much sweet as it is...is it salty? Salty? It's a new sensation. (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) Last year? (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) It's a different image from the Aizu Nakasyo I drank last year. This is only the second time I've tasted it (correction: it was the third time 💦), so I guess I don't understand it well. Sake is so deep.

It is a sake that is refreshing and crisp through the throat. The gorgeous aroma increased my appetite.

The fourth bottle brought in is Aizu Chusho. This one is also from the inventory of a junior colleague I mentioned earlier. It has the unique flavor and richness of light nigori. It has a moist finish, which gives it a gentle feeling. It is a distinctly different sake from the others we have brought in. I like this kind of sake! This kind of sake is also good! At the banquets I organize at work, I give an allowance to those who bring in their own sake. A bottle I want other colleagues to try. A bottle I want to drink with them. I want to cherish that thought and the spirit of self and others co-prosperity. Thank you for your hospitality!

Sagaminada...and my favorite Omachi...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness! It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: .... I'm having a little bit of it...

It tastes like a white wine. The balance of sweetness and firm acidity is exquisite. It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 14 degrees. It is a sake to be careful not to drink too much.

This is a gift from a sake professional, a local sake from Nanada's place. It is quite precious as it is the first pressing... 🙏. The aroma is juicy fruity and red apple-like. The mouthfeel is supposed to be fresh, but it also has a mellow, umami-like sweetness that spreads out and is very drinkable 👌👌. As a lover of the four seasons, I quite like this type. ☺️ I've heard it tastes great warmed up, so I'm going to enjoy it 😋.

The eighth one is a storehouse of rocks. This is the first time for Iwanokura itself. I guess I don't even remember seeing it in a liquor store. From the name and the image on the label, I somehow imagined it to be light and dry, but when I tried it, it was completely different. It has a sweet flavor from the fruity Kamitatekko, and although it is more reserved in terms of flavor intensity than the previous brew, I didn't feel anything lacking. On the contrary, it has a nice umami taste that comes slowly but surely afterwards! The cut is also very smooth, so it is like a gentle sweet and tasty taste. It's delicious! Finally, the next is the last! Thank you for the food!

Modest ginjo aroma, pear-like flavor? A little spiciness afterward is also nice. As the temperature rises, the graininess comes out. It is better when it is cold,

First brand. Purchased at Kadoya Sake Shop in Osaka. The first impression was "deliciously spicy. It gives the impression of being similar to Nabeshima, but without the gasiness. It has a very careful taste, and it makes you feel relaxed 😙.

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop online. The 500ml bottle of this sake costs about the same as a 1.5 liter bottle, but that's why it's so tasty! I always drink it with a sense of anticipation. Alcohol content 17%. Rice polishing ratio 40%. The first saké has a firm, slightly dry taste. The balance is very good. It is not at all fruity like apples, grapes, pineapple, etc., which are common. It is not gorgeous, but as a food sake, it is a sake that goes well with food and makes you say "delicious". One more sip. As you take another sip and another sip, before you know it, it's gone. It was very delicious! (^O^)

It has a sweet rice aroma rather than a fruity one. Unlike the popular sake of today, it has a strong bitter sweet taste...mellow umami taste...you can feel the flavor of the rice...it's a Junmai with a strong presence...it's like a sake for the sake connoisseur.

A refreshing, thirst-quenching summer-only sake. In addition to the fruity sweetness The aroma is more gorgeous and The sharpness is also refreshing. The price is reasonable, but But when you can drink Jyushiro at home The price is reasonable, but drinking Jyushiyo at home makes it even more special.

Daiginjo tamashidoroshu for the sake competition. It is very sweet with a clean finish. It has a fresh ginjo aroma unique to new sake. It is a bottle that makes you happy just by drinking it. The sake rice is Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture's Special A district. Polishing ratio is 35%.

A bottle that shows the quintessence of Yamae Nishiki. It has a rich umami and strong bitter acidity. Rather dry taste. Impressive freshness and richness even though it's a draft ✨. Not too high at 15.5, You can fully enjoy the original sake character 😋.

This is your first issue. What is this? It has all the good points of Shinshu sake. It has a gentle sweetness, but at the same time it is refreshing. The evaluation was divided as to whether it was dry or sweet. I thought it was sweet. I felt the high level of Shinshu.

At home. Tsubu-chan chose this item for her birthday, and when she happened to find it on an expedition, she had to buy it. I got the impression that it is gradually becoming more and more popular at this sake brewery. Today, I opened the bottle. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, with sourness and sweetness in the mouth, and a noticeable sourness in the nose. The aroma on the nose also has a noticeable acidity, and the end is a bit bitter and smooth. I would like to try it after a little time.

Zenkichi's here: ‼️ Zenkichi is delicious 😋 Sweet and tasty! I have a bottle, but I'm sure it will run out soon! It seems that the main members of the Mahjong club are on a trip to Hokkaido today: ‼️ I don't have any money, so I'll see you next time. I bet they are having a fever in Susukino 🤣.
