I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

I knew I bought the normal one at Lawson's too😆. If you look closely, you can see the r in Summer is capitalized. Yopa Memo_φ(____) Spicy cider Good sharpness Seems to go well with oily food I think it's possible to have it when it gets cold, like ice cream with a kotatsu (a table over a kotatsu), and then have it at a nabe (hot pot). But then again, this amount might not be enough... It was delicious 😋😋😋.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2)-1 Akashi sea bream booth. This is the first time the brewery has opened a booth, and only the first half of the festival. A brewery that bouken previously told me was rare because it mainly exports. The kurabito who helped us was not very salesy, but was kind enough to answer any questions we asked him. I asked him if they were selling very well, and he replied, "Yesterday's sales were very good. I asked him if it was selling very well, and he told me that it was the best seller. It seems that Oku no Matsu was number one by far. ◉Special Honjozo The sake has a sharp, sharp taste, with a strong honjozo sweetness. It has a slightly classical flavor, but it's delicious. ◉Special Honjozo Genshu The taste is smooth and mineral, with a clear, well-defined, thick and full mouthfeel. ◉Special Junmai A very clean and crisp sake, with a clear acidity and a slightly spicy umami taste.

It has a clean, refreshing taste that will keep you coming back for more.　As the name suggests, the taste is perfect for sashimi of sea bream. It seems to be good for sashimi of white fish ^_^.

Yesterday we went to Bicchu Matsuyama and Kibi Tsu! We were worried about rain, but it was really fortuitous that it shifted and we saw some sunshine. The view over the magnificent stone walls and town at the top of the mountain was exceptional ✨. Then we visited the Kibitsu Shrine, with its long corridor and historic appearance. The long corridor and historic appearance of the Kibitsu Shrine that we visited afterwards was truly heartwarming 🍑. After exploring, we crossed the Seto Inland Sea and drank a glass of Kibi-shu 🍶. When you open the bottle, you will find a deep aroma of nuts and chestnuts. The mouthfeel is slippery and dry. It is full-bodied with a punch of acidity and astringency, as well as a full-bodied rice flavor. It has a presence like nuts and bitter chocolate. However, the stimulation of the hot, acidic, and astringent taste tightens it up like a whip, and it has a good salty taste with a firm edge!

25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2nd half) ⑫ Seven Steps Snake booth. A very crisp and cheerful brewer was on hand to serve us. ◉Junmai Unfiltered Hanayuki Ageha Sparkling The sake is made by putting the unrefined sake and the sake mother back into the fire-aged sake and then second fermentation in the bottle. It has a shwashy, koji-derived flavor. This sake is exclusively for local onsen ryokan. ◉New Shiboritate Nama Aki-agari Sold out and no delivery available, tasting only. This is a fresh, normal sake, stored in ice temperatures. The taste is astonishingly good. It has a very strong umami and a mild sweetness from a mature taste. The female brewer who served us said that she planned to make this sake, so she was a genius! I praised it to her. She said that seasonal sake is not stable, so she did not know if it would be available next year. ◉七歩歩蛇 Unfiltered Nama Ginjō Junmai Ginjō The new sake has been in production since August, and this is the first pressing. It is fresh, sweet and sharp. Not too spicy. ◉Hanayuki Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo Junmai-Ginjo Juicy, sweet and delicious. This is also a very favorite of mine. ◉ Junmai Ginjo Shino Litchi Another second fermentation in the bottle. Alcohol content of 12%. It has a sweet, shwashy taste with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. The brand is divided into two brands: Nanahohe is drier and Hanayuki is sweeter. This is the second time for me to drink it, so I went home quickly.

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was hot today, so I had a bottle of Dobrock. It's my first time to drink in Tokyo😙It was separated so I mixed it up and opened the bottle. It was very carbonated and I spilled a lot of water 😛 It was so fizzy it was like pouring cider into a glass. It's not too sweet and the grains of rice are delicious. It's also good on a hot day as it's chilled 😀.

Japanese>English

Looks so cool!!! 🤣LOL Not the usual goddess of ministry️. I wonder who she is: ？？？？ LOL! Compared to the standard Hanagumori Clean and refreshing👍. It's a doburoku but it's like eating a fruit. Rice dessert feeling😋. It also refreshes greasy food. The chocolate was delicious too 😚😚

Japanese>English

I carefully opened the bottle and it took about 15 minutes. It's a sake that you can eat with your eyes, with the grains of rice usually recognizable. Overall, the strong gaseous feeling gives a swooshing impression, so it's refreshing to drink. I liked it.

I couldn't go anywhere during the second half of GW because I had to stay at home. So on the last day, I will just enjoy the feeling of traveling with this cup of sake. It has an alcoholic taste, but it is sweet and easy to drink. Since it is a Hokkaido sake, we also had some delicacies that Men-chan gave us. Thank you very much.

Very sake smelling, classic (not a pretty taste despite its appearance).

Honjozo 🍶. Quite refreshing, like water. Dry. Does not get in the way of eating good food. Perfect score as a daily sake 💯. Purchased at Sugatoyo Sake Shop @ Kesennuma 20230103

Japanese>English

I had it on a trip to Sanriku. It has a nice, calm taste, and it just keeps going and going. We visited a sake brewery just before the trip and were allowed to taste various kinds of sake, which was a nice experience!

Japanese>English

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Japanese>English

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

Junmai Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨ Various flavors. Stronger freshly squeezed. Alcohol is also strong. It is assertive throughout. The sliced kipper makes it mild 👍. Fried oyster makes it more charming.
