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.

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

I bought it at a brewery in the Daisen area where many sake breweries in Tsuruoka City are concentrated. When I asked if there were any leftover draft sake, I bought two varieties brought from the back of the brewery. This is one of them. The name of the product was so from the receipt.

Japanese>English

It is a clear, crisp, dry sake with a little bit of a peculiar taste! I thought that people who like it would be addicted to it!

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.

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!

I went to a liquor store near Niigata Station and asked the clerk, "Do you have any Yamama?" The clerk replied cheerfully, "We are out of Yamama, but we have Koshinoshiratori now. What is it? Koshino Jakucho...?" The clerk explained that the sake is made in the same tanks as Yamama, and that the middle sake is Yamama, while the aggressive and rough-run sake is Koshino-Shiratori. Well, I didn't know such a sake existed.... It is really amazing. I immediately had it in a wine glass, and the sweetness, umami, aroma, and gasiness were to my liking....................

Japanese>English

A sake brewery in the mountains. Dry taste is just right for a meal. There is no smell. When you drink it, you will be surprised by the delicious taste of rice. It is just right for a dinner drink.

It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

Japanese>English

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

The first bottle was given to me at a certain president's house, to whom I am indebted. The rice used was ㊗️. Celebration is Kyoto's original rice that was revived in the Heisei era and is suitable for ginjo-shu (ginjo sake). It has a very elegant sweetness and aroma and is a premium ️sake. It is smooth on the palate and goes down smoothly. It was gone in no time. It was a treat❣️.

Japanese>English

100% Kyoto sake rice, celebratory rice Slightly sweet strawberry🍓 like aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, but then you are surprised by the acidity and tanginess. The aftertaste is elegant, with a hint of strawberry flavor again. The second sip is easy to drink like water without the tanginess, as if you have gotten used to it. It reminds me of Kyoto's obanzai (traditional Japanese food), with a strong but not overpowering character. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is Kyoto's sake.

36Guardians⚔️ I've had a nice change of tastes, and was recommended to me by the liquor store ✨. It used to be a very traditional and strong flavor, but now it's a very refreshing and crisp taste, The price is 500 yen (), but it's not bad. The price is also 500 yen (⤴️), I guess the price is 500 yen (), but the taste is acceptable 😋. But I think it peaks on the first day it is opened. After that, it might be better to drink it warmed up.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I miss the 36th person. I used to buy it at my favorite liquor store about 20 years ago. It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. The acidity and bitterness give it a taste of white wine. The sweetness increases as the temperature rises after a little time. It is also good as a food sake.

Japanese>English

A sake from Yamagata. It is brewed with Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma of Daiginjo. It has a clear taste of light and dry. I felt it was very easy to drink with good mouthfeel. I want to drink more of it! A gem that makes you want to drink more.

This is also a 3-day record. Chiebijin was not enough, so I threw in a small bottle. This is the pink label of Yatsuka, which I have come to like! It feels more rounded than Chiebijin. Delicious!

Japanese>English

The brewery is more impressive for its shochu Ginza no Suzume than for its sake. Tasted and purchased. It has a gorgeous aroma and is fruity even when drunk. 1801 yeast is used, making it a sweet and fruity sake that is easy to understand. I wish they would release a fresh sake of this one. I felt it was sweeter and fruity at room temperature than when it was chilled to the perfect temperature.

@ Iwamizawa Kramochi Rice used is Gohyakumangoku It seems to be a traditional junmai sake, but it has a refined ginjo level mouthfeel and a clean, crisp finish. It is a good sake that you can drink calmly and enjoy the full flavor of the rice. ❣️
