Purchased at Hankyu Department Store's traveling SAKE. It has a gentle taste with a sweet flavor that comes in the latter half of the bottle. It has a spicy taste, but it also has a fresh fruitiness. I also tasted Omachi, but Yumesasara was definitely my favorite. On the third day, the impression of sweetness and acidity became stronger.

Japanese>English

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. After drinking Kiyokai nigori, it was getting crowded, so I left once and returned when it was empty. We compared Yumesasara and Omachi. I had a preconceived notion that Omachi would be tastier, but I found Omachi to be too strong and subtle. Yumesasara was delicious, so I bought it.

Japanese>English

Today's accompaniment is Nikko Homare Junmai. Is it refreshing, light, light and weakly spicy? The! It's like a sake. It is a good sake for a mid-meal drink, But I think it will be defeated by a little bit sweet I think it is good as a food sake, but it is not as good with sweet food.

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.

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

Last night was a get-together. We brought our own sake, assuming it wouldn't be too much since it was an all-you-can-drink course at an izakaya chain restaurant. (I got the restaurant's approval!) I bought my first bottle of Vice Shogun. The aroma is fresh and fruity. The mouthfeel is salty-sweet with a hint of sourness. The ginjo aroma becomes a pleasant aftertaste, and is finished off with a mild sourness and bitterness. I thought it was based on a light dry base, but I could feel Aizan's character, and it was very tasty. The fact that everyone who drank it gave it high marks probably indicates that they were paying attention to me. I also like the cost performance of Aizan's Junmai Daiginjo, which is under 2,000 yen! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Purchased at Isetan Kyoto The penguins are cute and impulse buy💦. It has a faint aroma, and after drinking it, you can taste the rice and a little pungent taste. I was surprised at how light it was when I put it in my mouth. It's also low in alcohol, so it's a good drink to have outside at lunch.

Shotoku Junmai Daiginjo Kyo Purchased at Tomiya in Kyoto Station. It is a Kyoto souvenir. It is brewed with celebratory rice produced in Kyoto. Soft to dry in the mouth. It has a sour taste and is delicious. The accompaniment is dried mackerel with mirinboshi. That's right, it goes well with mackerel.

Japanese>English

The label is "Shotoku" in katakana, a novelty. We use 100% of Kyoto's original sake rice "Shukyu"! It's not easy to drink in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo! Let's take a sip... ⁈This is ⤴︎ The rice is packed with flavor. It's packed with rice flavor, and it spreads in your mouth. It's dancing 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 delicious! And later, the aged flavor!

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

Japanese>English

Summer is ending, so we open a souvenir sake of summer memories. It is made from rice grown in Yamagata and is 17-18% Sake with a Sake strength of +2. It is a limited edition sake that I bought after visiting a sake brewery and liking it. It is a bit dark, so it feels a bit spicy, but it is rich and fruity. It is rich, fruity, and has a strong umami flavor. It's a pity that it is not a pure sake, but it seems to be a pure sake. It is a delicious summer memory.

Japanese>English

It even came out to Junmai Daiginjo, but it is clear, dry, and watery. Even though it is a daiginjo, it is not sweet. Is this a taste peculiar to this rice? Anyway, it is not what you would expect from a daiginjo, but as it says on the back, it can be drunk like a clear white wine. It was more fresh than fruity.
