It was recommended to me by a liquor store and I purchased it. It has the slight gassy taste of nama-shu, a good balance of soft sweetness and refreshing acidity, and is quite excellent as a food sake.

Japanese>English

The 5th cup is Harukasumi‼️Akita sake 👍. Sister, I only remember that I'm back 🤣. When I looked at the picture I saw it said No.6 yeast and it reminded me a bit 😆. 5 cups in this store and that's it👍 There wasn't a single one that wasn't to my liking, so it was a nice, moderately priced place👍.

Japanese>English

With horse sashimi and yukke. 🙂 Uekiya Shoten hanpukai March. ☹️ Another is Koshihikari from Aizu. 😆 O! Like Niji no Kirameki, the sharpness is almost the same, but this one has a slight gentle sweetness comes. 😊. When mixed with the Ori, the flavorful bitterness brings the whole thing together and keeps you from getting tired of drinking it, a sake that you will want to drink forever. It is a drink that you will want to drink forever. 🙂. The difference in flavor can be felt depending on the rice, It was a meaningful comparison. 😆 😆

Time is up, but here is the second bottle for the welcome party! Manjukagami, the department head's favorite! Following the black bottle at the previous farewell party, this time he brought a white bottle. The aroma was slightly fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and fruity, with a fragrant aftertaste. The bitter aftertaste is crisp and bitter. This bitterness reminds us that it is alsobe. This deretsun-like sensation is addictive! Thanks for the treat!

去年店頭で見かけて気になってたけど値段がネックでスルーしたお酒。在庫処分なのか2割引だったので購入してみた😅 1年経ってるから少し不安だったけど熟成感は無くフレッシュで甘旨。甘過ぎやろってくらい甘い🤣 だけど少し甘ダレしてるような印象。製造日からすぐ飲めばめっちゃ美味しそうな雰囲気めっちゃ感じる。

Our department head's favorite Manjyukagami A former colleague of mine (from Niigata) told me that it was a perfect match for our department head, who loves dry sake, so he ordered some and brought it to us. Although it is a honjozo, it is skillfully brewed without giving too much of an alcoholic taste. It has a moderate sweetness, umami, and a good sharpness, and you can faintly feel the presence of good quality alcohol. Although it is not a major brand, it was very tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!

It has a sweet taste, but it is dry when you swallow it. Perhaps it is because I drink it while watching sumo wrestling, but Yamae-nishiki seems to be the name of a wrestler.

bamboo shoots boiled, sliced, fermented, dried or preserved in salt, then soaked in hot water and sea salt 14 Junmai Juju-kirekuchi Yellow in color. When cooled, it has a habit of lactic acidity and aged aroma. Warmed. The nose has a woody, savory aroma. It has a fruity and gentle sweetness as well as a sense of rice. A little sour. Numb, sharp and delicious. 15 Chouji Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki Ajiginjo Slightly pear aroma. Ume. Soft, subtle sweetness and a refreshing citrus-like feeling. A little bitterness at the end. It has been a year since it was made, but I think it's good. The sake is named "Shigetu" after the sake brewer Takeshige and the toji Shigeta. The toji explained this to us when he opened the brewery in the past. SAKE Country Tourism Achievement Prizes. The third prize is from the Takeju Sake Brewery in Saku. It is one of my personal favorite sake breweries. The second batch of sake still remains, so the pressure in the refrigerator was tremendous. The following will be posted separately.

Souvenirs of sightseeing in Akashi. Is it a limited edition of a sake brewery? I bought it because it is a limited edition sake brewery. It has a sour taste at first and a slight bitterness at the end. A little heavy? On the way, you may or may not feel a slight strange taste... (not a bad feeling). (I don't feel bad about it).

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

Japanese>English

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

Japanese>English

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

Japanese>English

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

At home. First time on Mt. Ena ~ ‼️ I thought it was absolutely delicious and bought it. And I opened the bottle immediately. Well, the aroma is gorgeous. It is smooth, fruity, and has a perfect balance of sweet and sour tastes. ‼️ It is also very easy to drink, so it was a perfect choice. ‼️ My son, who was with me, took a sip and tasted it. He said, "It has a noticeable sourness. He understood very well. I felt that our family's level of Japanese sake tasting is improving little by little.
