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.

It seems that nine breweries in Gifu Prefecture have voluntarily gathered under the name of "Gifu Sake Project" and are working on the theme of water, sake and food in Gifu Prefecture. According to the taste chart on the back of the label, it seems to be located in the [ rich yet aromatic ] category. The aroma is slightly apple-like, somewhere between modern and classic, and has a calm, sweet, umami taste with a slightly dry aftertaste. It has a slightly astringent taste. The aroma is not too strong, and I like the way it accompanies food 😚.

Comparison of nigori sake (Wakayama's favorite nigori sake) Following Minakata, Chokyu ✌️ This is the fire-brewed version of the nigori sake we drank in February. I buy every bottle of Chokyu I see that I have never had before 😆. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was that there was no fizziness at all 😲. The aroma is somewhat almond-like, and it's cloudy with a lot of orioles, so it's like diluted almond milk. But it also has a sourness to it, so I felt a bit unbalanced 🤔. I prefer nigori sake with a fizzy taste 😄.

Japanese>English

Nigori Sake (Japanese rice wine) First time drinking Chokyu's nigori 😊. I always buy Chokyu when I see the new label ✌. The ori is quite a bit more and has a strong fizzy feel to it. It has a lot of umami and a hint of sweetness that is typical of Chokyu, and yet it has a clean dryness that makes it a dangerous sake that you can drink with gusto 🤭. The impression is quite similar to Hirotogawa's nigori👍 It goes well with western food, and the omelette was a nice match 😋.

Japanese>English

[Summer sake is also berry good😂] The most memorable brand I drank last year, super kyu🥰. Don't miss out on getting a bottle of summer raw sake that's also bright! This one is a bit different from the matured Omachi sake I had last year, and I have the impression that it swings in a very sweet and juicy direction. The aroma is tropical 🥭 and the flavor is perfect, with a long, sharp finish and a hint of bitterness. The umami flavor is firm, so it is easy to match with Japanese fried food 👍. Chokyu seems to have a different direction for each label, but each one has its own characteristics and they are all delicious and addictive 😍.

Junmai Ahusu Nama Genshu "acid high" limited edition‼️. What kind of brewing method is it? 🤔 Very sour and unique tasting sake 😳. I'm being cheeky not knowing the normal afs, but it was a stylish sake, more overly yellow in colour than other afs❣️.

My first Kurosawa. Just after opening the bottle, the cork blew up to the ceiling. When you pour it, it fires strongly. When you drink it, it is refreshing like a carbonated drink. Immediately afterwards, a strong flavor and a strong alcohol feeling rushes in. There is no sweetness, and the mellowness of the umami and nigori is addictive. It is a very delicious sake. It will be a repeat customer.

Shinshu Sake Month without my permission 😆 Here's today's partner for the hard table: ‼️ First Kurosawa ‼️ Oh, is it déjà vu for yesterday's Masumi 🤣. It has the same sour taste! Is this sourness a fad? Well, it's great for eating in 👍It goes well with meat too, so I enjoyed it with both the minced pork cutlet and chicken cutlet as usual 😋. Here's a sip of Shinanotsuru Stubborn! Gentle sweetness 😋 and lingering ❤️ Oh, you can't beat Gantaku 🤣Shinanotsuru is strong: ‼️

Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai drinking comparison: ‼️ Kurosawa: ‼️ We started with the Gold Course Taregara-mi blend alsobe. Apparently it's a blend of 4 different types of sake. Oden with a side of oden It's a dangerous sake with a gentle sweetness that is typical of Shinshu sake and a bitter and astringent taste that will keep you going 😆. I would drink this one all the time if we compare 😅

(*´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.

It is a sake named after a place in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, where Chiyo Sake Brewery is located. Like Kushira, Gosho is a town with many difficult-to-read place names. For example, Bunze, Iuka, and Saragi. Gosho is a nice and peaceful place nestled in the bosom of the Katsuragi and Kongo mountains. Aburanaga-san of Kaze no Mori is also a sake brewer in Gosho. I guess it's a good place for sake brewing😋. It's been a while since I've had a Kushira, but it's dry and full of rice flavor. It's delicious 😆. I would like everyone to try it along with Chiyo's other brand "Shinomine" 👍.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've chosen Kushira. Delicious 😋

Japanese>English

Shinomine's terroir brand Kushira✨. I bought two kinds of Shinomine's summer sake, so I have no choice but to give you a first look🤣. The aroma is slightly sweet. The aroma is slightly sweet, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a delicious taste of rice and then it snaps! It's also got a good amount of gas, which adds to the sharpness😆. It's an unfiltered unpasteurized sake, but it's quite light✨. I think it's a great food sake that goes well with any Japanese, Western, or Chinese food✨.

Shinshu sake today, on a night like this,,, drink: ‼️ Last spurt of Shinshu Sake Month The aroma is slightly grapey 😋 The flavor is very strong! The flavor is so strong that you can't taste much sweetness. It's also good in hot pot and teriyaki chicken, so it's excellent as a food sake👍Dry, but recently the ones for food are running out fast😅. Well, you can't beat Stubborn 😆 It's just my preference 😆. Tsuruchu 🤣.

Found by chance at Kobe Hankyu. You don't see much Kuromatsu Senjo in Kansai, do you? On a night like this.... I'd like to try it, but the liquor store that carries it is mainly one bottle, and it's a hard place to get to 🤔. It's light, sweet and sour. It's a refreshing summer sake with a grape-like sweetness. It also has a strawberry taste.

Memorandum for Tuesday, May 23 (2) 🍶. A gift from a colleague in Iwate - ⤴️✨ He said it was sake from near his parents' house in Yamagata 😊. We all enjoyed it together, We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

It's a nice day 🌈 Now, I was expecting a fluchy since it was described as delicious in a glass of wine.... I guess it's not, it's more like slightly dry and tasty 😋. And very fresh 🎉. and the aroma and flavor of rice 🎉. I thought it would go well with any dish, Japanese or Western 👍✨.
