295 yen. A little more expensive than Asahi Super Dry 500ml can. It has a thin, pear-like smell. It tastes bitter from the beginning when you let it get some air from the sake-like taste, and it has a light, thin taste until the end. I think it is 3 times more intoxicating than Asahi Super Dry.

I finally bought a bottle of "Nobeyokocho". A warm one-cup cup is good.

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

Aizan 45% polished It goes in quickly and the berry flavor of Aizan comes, and the flavor spreads with just the right amount of alcohol. It is a Daiginjo, but it has a strong umami taste.

Read as Yu-shin-buru. Fire-entry. Mr. Yamakita Seinen Nanchara is I heard that it is a sake that Mr. Yamakita Seinen Nanchara is involved in, It is said that it is not often sold in the prefecture. I had it cold. The aroma and taste remind me of rice. We had it with yellowfin tuna, omelette, chicken dumplings I had it with pickles. I think it goes very well with fish. Synergy effect (**) Thank you very much for your kindness. Purchased at Mikawaya Kamiya, Fujitana, Nishi-ku

A local sake from my relatives. Yamada Nishiki has a strong flavor. It has a strong alcoholic taste, which is typical of Japanese sake. There is no miscellaneous taste, so you can feel the elegance of traditional sake. The sake has a strong flavor with a strong alcohol taste.

The second drink at the Sacred Bar was "Kaguyahime," which is very Kyoto-like. It was fresh and sweet on the palate, so it went better with grilled white onions than sashimi.

Japanese>English

Yamamoto Honke had a store at Sendai Mitsukoshi in conjunction with the Kyoto Exhibition. I look forward to Yamamoto Honke's "tarekuchi" every year at this time of the year, but it seems to take about one more week before it is shipped, so I did not get it this year either. The aroma is a fresh ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is fruity, fresh, sweet, and juicy, with a light acidity and bitterness from the aftertaste of alcohol. It has a high quality, classical, and sharp taste, and is very satisfying to drink. Thank you very much!

Japanese>English

A "sacred" store found near Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Great cold drink when you are finally able to sit down after a long day of walking 😀. It was slightly carbonated and went down my throat so well I didn't mind the 19% alcohol content 😅. You can't tell the alcohol content in modern sakes. Beautiful construction.

Nakanori-san from last year's Shinshu Jizake distribution times that I drank last week: ‼️ Usually sweet and simply delicious 😋. I think I liked the secret course better with more flavor on it. It has a taste that is typical of Shinshu sake, and would go well with soba noodles or even meat 😋. This kind of sake is perfect for a regular drink 👍

Japanese>English

The last sake to be introduced at the welcome party was by Nakanori-san, a Kiso connection, since we were unable to prepare sake from Yukawa-san, who brewed Shirakiku in Okunonoto. A comparison of contrasting drinks from Shinshu and Ishikawa. It is the ultimate in rich sweetness, sweet and delicious. It is not clingy, but easy to drink. The sake rice is Miyamanishiki. This sake was the first to disappear.

Japanese>English

［Aladdin and Chuin on weekday evenings. After we finished the Shinshu Kamerei, here is what we had next. NAKANORISAN Not much aroma, but a mouthful of impactful umami and a delayed sweetness, followed by a refreshing finish and a lingering bitterness that lingers in the throat. Somewhat similar to "Shinshu Kamerei" 🤔.

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

🐱 Next up is the summer sake series. They say, "If we start serving them this early, we will run out of sake before the hiyaoroshi season. But if I see it, I will drink it. The label is beautiful. Each sake brewery has its own unique characteristics and is delicious. It was fun to eat it with strong flavored side dishes. Namul and so on😊. Toyoga is run by a couple, so I'm worried that they might quit due to succession issues. I have a fear that they will quit and I drink it when I find it. This blue label was also sold at Shinshu Kurado in Nagano station. The last picture is a cat I saw in front of Nagano station. When I was staring at it, it said "You can take a picture with me" and left. 😅

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

I tasted it during the New Year holidays. I thought it was arabashiri, but the staff mistakenly put shiboritate in it 🤣. It was fresh and easy to drink even though it had been fired once.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Aged Sake✨Snow❄️☃️ Aged sake, light yellow in color. Cold sake, matured, Daruma Masamune-like. Not heavy, warmed to 60 degrees. Soft around the edges. Mellow. ☺️ It's still a sake for warming up. I served it with scallop sashimi sent from my relatives in Hokkaido 😋The scallops were huge and delicious💕. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki.
