This is a local brew from Fukushima that I got as a gift from a friend.......it's hard to find in the Kanto region unless you go to Tochigi.... This is a good choice for a midday meal.

￣∇￣* Isuzu🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a sake from our neighboring prefecture of Toyama✨. The aroma is quite mild, but when you put it in your mouth, the acidity comes from the soft rice flavor, and then it quickly kicks in, like a well-balanced and delicious sake😊.

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued. ❗️ The taste is very umami 👍. The aftertaste is clean and you won't get tired of drinking it. It's a sake that you can keep drinking 😅. It's not a modern taste, but it's a perfect food sake type 😅❗️ I paired it with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto. It went great with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto 👍. No wonder it is popular in restaurants in Tokyo these days. ❗️

Japanese>English

A friend of mine said that if he had come all the way to Toyama, he would have had a variety of both Katsikoma and Haneya, but Hayashi had never had them. We compared two types of sake rice, Gohyakumangoku and Dewanosato. Both were to his liking, but the Dewa-no-sato was more acidic and better. I recommended it to him and told him that Koyama Shoten also sold it 😄.

Japanese>English

I got this at a local liquor store when I traveled to Nagasaki. It's a refreshing sake with no peculiarities and I never get tired of drinking it. I got drunk lol.

Japanese>English

Today is a holiday. But I went to work. On the way home, I found a four-character phrase I wanted to try, Nagasaki Prefecture's...four-character phrase? I found a four-letter phrase, "sixty-you-you-shu" in Nagasaki Prefecture, which I had wanted to try! Is the Kanto region the same as Nagasaki Prefecture? (I don't know what the weather is like there.) I decided to drink it right away. It's a heavy fruity wine. Is it the fruity rice flavor? And even though it is a draft sake, it doesn't have a sharp taste, but rather a calm taste. I like this kind of taste. Nagasaki Prefecture has a lot of sake that I like!

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

This year's version is delicious too!

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)

I'm not feeling well, so I've been trying to cut back on my drinking, but a classmate from junior high school, who I haven't seen in a while, invited me out for a drink and I ended up having one. Oh well. I found a nice bottle of Naotora and had it. It's so good that I remember it tastes good even when I'm drunk. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, but the freshness is dominant and the flavor is good. Isn't the difference between it and the ordinary Naotora too drastic?

Japanese>English

I drink at a restaurant where young people seem to congregate. The owner, who says he is a big fan of Koyama Shoten, introduces us to some Koyama Shoten originals. Next to Tamitsu is Naotora. This is a brand that is not often drunk by individuals. So I can't compare this one with the regular version, but it was delicious. It was a little bit tangy.

Japanese>English

Another bottle opened for Valentine's Day🥂. It's been waiting in the fridge for a while. I'm a little worried... It's sweet and fruity with a strong flavor. But the bitterness afterwards is quite strong. ‼︎ And a little bit of hiney aroma... "The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and flavor is very popular. The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and umami is very popular". I was a bit disappointed in this one 😓.

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

7.5 points (wife: 7 points) Rice type : Manzai, Kakemai, Chiyonishiki Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Alcohol content : 15 Where purchased: Charcoal BBQ KIZUNA (It is a neighborhood barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy rare parts of black hair on a shichirin, and the owner is a sake lover and always has several kinds of local sake available) Slightly melon-like topping The cherry-like aroma, soft rice flavor, and subtle sweetness mixed with the top-brewing aroma gradually spread out with a clean acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. This sake has a gentle, somewhat classical impression. It is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. Goes well with various kinds of grilled meat.

Japanese>English

I bought it yesterday along with Futaba. This time it was recommended to me as a special sake again. It tastes drier, fresher and punchier than Futari. The alcohol content is 17% and it's like a Mikawa-bushi. 1415yen

Summer drinking is still in full swing! This time I got to try Manzaku no Hana no Snowman😋. The label is comforting⛄️and the contents are refreshing, sweet and crisp, different from the Umakara Manzaku I drank before😆. I had a hard time deciding between it and the other one at the store, but I'm glad I bought it👍. I gulped it down💦.

Japanese>English

(Holy shit! 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I've had the Manzaku no Hana Megurume for a while now, and I've been wondering why it doesn't have any aroma at all 🤔, but when I drank it, I found it to be well balanced with a hint of sweetness and a slight astringency. It's also a good idea to have a gentle sake 钎存米 series 🤤.

Japanese>English

Today we got our first Hinomaru Brewing mansaku flowers in a long time 😀. The aroma is mild, but even though it is fire-aged, it has a fresh feeling like a draft sake 😊It has a refreshing acidity 😋 It has a good sharpness, so it is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking 🥰. Mansaku no Hana is still a delicious sake 🥳.

This is the world's best regular sake from Yumeshin Shuzo. I had it at room temperature. It is a delicious sake that is full-bodied, deliciously sweet, with a touch of dryness in between 🎶.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had a Yumeshin: ❗️ While Naraman is fruity and gorgeous, this sake has a robust taste and a slightly unique aroma 🤔. I don't mind it with a meal. but with just this one, it's a bit hard to drink 😅.

Japanese>English

Purchased in a set sale with Tobiroki. Yumeshin? I thought, "I don't know this..." and then I found out that it is the brewery of Naraman. I was relieved and at the same time I was relieved, but at the same time I was relieved, but at the same time, I was reminded that preconceived notions are not good 😅. Fukushima's original yeast "Utsukushima Yume Yeast" is used. The brewery uses Fukushima's original yeast, "Utsukushima Yume Yeast". It was launched to the ISS last year and spent 37 days in a zero-gravity space. It was launched to the ISS last year and spent 37 days in a zero-gravity space. It has a light touch of sweetness, followed by a slightly dry taste. It is a bit dry after a light touch of sweetness, but it is rather fruity.... But it's a bit fruity.... But after drinking Takachiyo, which is +19 on the sake level, I realized that Yumeshin is not dry at all. I realized that Yumeshin is not dry at all 😂.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

The aroma is fresh and muscat-like 😚The taste is fresh and the acidity comes forward and is refreshing ✨It has a nice sharpness 😊I felt like it would be a delicious sake for the summer 🥳.
