Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) The effect of oak barrels, or something quite close to whiskey, but the mellowness and acidity of sake is also alive! I know it's just my imagination, but I feel it's similar to the whiskey akashi. Of course, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have thought so. I also had a bottle of Junmai Namae in the heated sake corner, but my memory is a little fuzzy on whether or not my brain was getting the alcohol when I got here! I do remember that it was meant to be heated, but that's about it.

They want you to take a sip and carbonate it. The first sip was so good! Sake degree -57 Easy to drink with soda. It has a soft aftertaste like chestnuts! Delicious! I had it with miso kiritanpo, so maybe the miso is like chestnuts? It goes well with it. At a Japanese sake festival

Japanese Sake Fest】Osaka Bay Tower (10) I will buy a bottle next time! It's my favorite. It was so good that it sobered me up. The sake was surprisingly rich and sweet, with a sake degree of -57. However, it is not heavy. You can drink it refreshingly. I was recommended to drink it with soda. It is also delicious on the rocks. 0Nippon Soul Mizuhashi Special II Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake It is delicious! It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is also good on the rocks.

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

Sparkling craft SAKE was found in the chu-hi corner 💡. It is made by Takara Shuzo in Kyoto. CLASSIC BUBBLES with a squeeze of yuzu juice (11% al.). The strong carbonation is refreshing and sweeps away the summer heat🌊🫧🌊🫧The natural bitterness and astringent accent peculiar to yuzu was also a nice touch♪ The third one, daily special soba lunch with three kinds of small bowls of cooked food

As the name suggests, it goes perfectly with bonito sashimi. It has a slightly sharp taste, and because it is so easy to drink, you may end up drinking a lot if you are not careful. If you buy it for home use, be sure to serve it with bonito sashimi (or tataki).

Sweet apple-like aroma 🍎. Light and fresh 🎵 Delicious flavor and a sourness that comes on slowly 😌. Slightly refreshing ✨. There is also a hint of sweetness 👍️ Wish I could have gone with the skipjack... 🐟️

We went to the Visitor Center of Akashi Sake Brewery~. We had the B set (500 yen) of paid tasting at the restaurant. Junmai Ginjo-genshu Hukunohana and Gohyakumangoku. And the spirits Nori Spi. The seaweed spice was terrible. It was clear and colorless, but it was a black seaweed-flavored liquid (laugh). After the tasting, I brought back Fucunohana. It is said to taste like wasanbon. Wasanbon is often used to describe sake. I have never consciously eaten it. I wonder how it tastes. I will have it with cold sake. Oh, I see~! It is an elegant sweetness. I am sure this is the taste of wasanbon~! There is no fruity feeling. Rather, it has an exaggeratedly seaside atmosphere. I think it goes well with seafood dishes. I was surprised at the bill for this bottle! What a surprise! If you buy the sake you tasted, you get your guts back for the tasting fee. It was a great deal!

Slightly exasperating, like Shaoxing wine? Easy to drink, but not my personal favorite.

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!

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 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.

I drank Matsuyama Shuzo's sake at a national sake fair, but this was my first time drinking it at home. It is fire-brewed but a little fresh. It has a rich, tropical sweetness, but not only sweetness, but also umami and various other flavors in perfect harmony or balance. I heard that there is also a draft of this sake, and I would like to try it, but it is not available in the Kansai region.

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. It looks like it was made up and became beautiful😅. Nambu Bistro Unmenosu @ Morioka station 20240126
