A reminder from last night 🍶. Bring your own drinks to the office party (2) is collet ⤴️😆 Fun for everyone, We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

Low sweetness. It is juicy and has a strong flavor and richness, and I think it goes well with dark meals. As the temperature rises, the sweetness comes out, and it is very tasty with a typical autumnal flavor.

Trophies from a business trip to Aomori. The label of Osamu Dazai is kawaii(*^^*) Amai, sour(´ж;) I enjoyed it deliciously(^-^)/

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste. The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries. Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years. Founded in 1902 It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.

What is this? It's so good! I am already a little drunk. I heard it is called "Kinshi Seiten". It is a sake from Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture. I learned about it from a review by Sake-no-wa. When I looked at the fridge at the store, I thought, "Hmm...? Difficult kanji! This is a bit of a surprise..." I checked the note on my phone. Bingo! I was surprised to find it suddenly. It was recommended to drink it on the rocks. I bought ice at Lawson. Everything is ready. First, I drank it straight. Oh~~ It's so smooth and thick. It is thick. Sweet. Sweet and sour. It seems to be similar to Tamagawa and Okura. And it rocks. Naruheso! It is outstandingly delicious! This is good~! It has become a summer sake all at once. I drank it in gulps. It is a very satisfying bottle.

Japanese>English

It has a gorgeous daiginjo-like aroma! The taste is also gorgeous with a clean aftertaste. ☺️ Morinori is delicious after all! The best part is that 750ml is 1600 yen even though it is a Daiginjo! It was the best cost performance!

Japanese>English

I found a quirky bottle in a store, so I bought it following the lead of my perverted spirit. The name of the bottle was "Kinshi Seiten. There are a lot of mysteries about it, including the brand name, but after finding the brewery's website, I found out that it was an active nigori. I drank it without much expectation, What is this? It's so delicious. It is one of the best sake I have had this season. I think the key to its flavor is its slightly sweet and well-balanced taste. The retro-inspired label and the old-fashioned description are also a favorite of me and the military police who live inside me. The taste has not changed at all after 3 days. It's brilliant! I can only say. I don't know when I will be able to find it again, I would like to buy it again 10/10 even through the mail-order.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Japanese>English

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

It has been a long time since I have had a Genmai. The aroma is slightly fruity, the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and the taste is sharp! Enjoying the delicious taste of Miyamanishiki....... I am enjoying it with my favorite sashimi of kibinago and isobe-age firefly squid......................

Smells of grapes and oil clay. The wine has a pungent, thick, pungent, sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and pleasant to drink. The juiceiness, saliva-like flavor, and bitterness. Powerful. It is delicious! It does not become watery in the middle. A delicious sake that makes you want to eat a meal.

The first touch is a gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. You can feel the slight sweetness and deliciousness. All of the Genmai are dusty 😙.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?
