Kikusui Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Tsumugi. The aroma is mild but fruity. It is a delicious sake with a sweet flavor and a bitter taste at the end. It is aged in a tunnel at low temperature.

Third of five drinks 🍶.

Sake-like sake, but a little thin. However, it is refreshing and easy to drink. When you roll it around, the flavor comes out unexpectedly. The aftertaste is quite strong.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

Tried at Niigata Ponshukan. It was my favorite one I tried. Fruity and hazelnutty!

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

Junmai 🍶Yoyo Saiya Rice 🌾. Light, refreshing ✨, still feels relatively thin. Lemon water 🍋The origin of the "n" is "unme" apparently 🤔Hiragai no string yaki, yummy. It has a nice crunch 😋. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20230810

The third drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was Gizaemon Natsu-damon, which I had during a break in the drinking Shinsei. This is another summer sake from my favorite Mie sake that I was very curious about. The aroma is not so strong. It has an energetic taste with a tingling sensation when you put it in your mouth. It was a very tasty sake with a good balance of refreshing sweetness and bitterness ✨.

Japanese>English

This is Gizaemon Junmai Daiginjo Autumn Damon. The aroma is mild, but it smells like Muscat in the mouth. It has a good acidity and a mellow taste, and is a delicious sake. It is better to drink it not too cold.

Japanese>English

The Last Five Cups of Tsu Night I think I have posted this before, When I think of Gizaemon, I have an image of a black label. It is a dark sake with a mellow mouthfeel, but with a strong umami flavor. It has a stable flavor. ❗️ I enjoyed Mie sake...thank you!

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

I sweated a lot during the day today. To avoid further dehydration after drinking a large bottle of sake, I decided to drink a small bottle today. This is my first time drinking Kotobuki Mangame. As the label says, it tastes sour in the mouth and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth after drinking it down. Is it?

Japanese>English

Rice polishing ratio undisclosed! It has a strong rice flavor! It's light and dry. I had it with cold sake. It goes well with hot days 😆.

Japanese>English

I went to Kameda Brewery while I was in Kamogawa❗️. This is how you read Jumangame😁. This one was a bit alcoholic, but it was also quite refreshing 笞笞 I'm going to let it sit for a few days to see how it tastes 😚

Tenma Daijukai (¡°Tenma Sake Association¡±) This sake is named after Governor Yoshimura And an illustration of a mysterious person on the label Where is Governor Yoshimura? Where? It's a very typical mature, slightly dry junmai sake, and it's good warmed up. It's the type of sake I'd like to drink on a regular basis, but it's more of a souvenir. I misunderstood. I'd like to buy it if it were available!

Japanese>English

Tenma Taishukai 2024 ④ The day before, I tasted Sakakamatsu from this brewery at a liquor store in Ikuno Ward. He asked me if I was going to the Tenma Sake Festival. I've been to this brewery and bought sake before. I think it was a brewery in Osaka, but closer to Wakayama and near a fishing port. I drank Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Nemuchi-san confirmed with the brewery that it was the same Sakakamatsu Natsusei that I drank the day before. Hmmm? When I drank it the day before, I had the impression that it was a summer sake with good flavor and drinkability, but something is different... Is it the temperature range? It seems too thin or too light 🤔. Summer Ginjo This is also a summer sake. Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but this one is spicier.

Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake🍶 Yamadanishiki🌾. A little grassy? But it's not unpleasant, and it's ✨sure. Slightly dry and semi-dry. Mild with a touch of sweetness on a flat plate rather than a glass. Very gentle with raw bell bell pepper meat stuffing🫑: ☺️ Sea and @ Takadanobaba 20231005

The young, brisk young man explains to us about heated sake. He seems to be very particular about changing the temperature. When my friend asked for hot sake, this sake was recommended. Heated sake is good sometimes.

The underlings are opening another good sake today👍. Seems to have won the highest gold award out of 901 entries in the 2018 Wine Glass Delicious Sake Awards😍. I bought this at the first liquor store I went to because it was politely recommended 😋. I would say it's definitely like wine. The aroma is amazing. Should have drunk it in a wine glass😅. The sweetness is slight, but the rice flavor is strong. I thought it would be dense but it's also very crisp. It's a good sake with good cost and good ministry.

Japanese>English

I still want to match it with oysters, so Dry sake 😆 The aroma is mild but fresh. It is also refreshing on the palate 😆. It's like a fresh Kiri 😳. It's delicious 😆.

Ƹ(ˊizumiˋ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No. ㉗ I had my first Kurosawa 🏮 at an izakaya🏮 around Kamisuwa station 😋. The aroma is mildly fruity 😊The taste on the palate is round, with mild acidity and umami 😘It's a delicious sake that goes down smoothly 😚. I had some time to kill before checking in at my hotel that day, so I went to the outer shrine of Suwa Taisha Shrine 🙋‍♀️ and it brought back memories of my old visits 😌 my mind was purified😇.
