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.

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 😁.

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.

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!

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.

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. It has a nice aftertaste.

Japanese>English

This is a limited edition sake from the brewery open house held during Golden Week. I can't help but buy the limited edition sake. 💦. Well, this sake is made with Yamadanishiki from Hida and is a modern fruity sake. I guess it tastes more like first green than traditional Okuhida. It's delicious and super likable. 😋😋😋😋😋 The weather was perfect that day and it was great to drink sake with friends while surrounded by fresh greenery. 👍

This is the limitted bottle of the liquor shop. It was brewed during pre-war time. It's brewed by the Kimoto Method, creating a fruity like muscat and slightly dry taste.

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 😆.

Found it at a local store I sometimes go to 👀. I had no prior knowledge of the brand, but was attracted by the sexy label and the owner's comment that it was "sweet and delicious" 😁. It is indeed sweet. But not sticky, clean and elegant sweetness 😋. By the third day, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was balanced 😆 Uma~! I guess the 6th place in the Saga ranking is not for nothing 😆😆. Thanks for the food 🙏🙏.

This is a new series from Issen Fudo. It expresses "playfulness" and We use white koji for the preparation. It is characterized by the refreshing sweetness of the rice. The rugged image of single-mindedness and steadfastness. It's subverted in a good way.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.
