［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6) Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery. Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat. I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find. The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake. I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.

This month we had a lot of drinking outside, so it's been a while since I've had a drink at home! I got a bottle of summer sake "Kashoku", which is rarely seen even in my hometown, because there was some left at the liquor store! The mouthfeel is sweet with a refreshing acidity, and the mellow aroma lingers until the end. It seems that more emphasis is placed on the mellow aroma than on the refreshing taste! Although it is a summer sake, it is a perfect bottle for long nights in autumn. I felt it has the potential to be as good as many dishes in the autumn season of taste.

It is a nigorizake made from Junmai Junmai Nakakumi. It is quite dry and has a strong bitterness, but as the temperature rises, you can taste the umami sweetness. It is a delicious sake 😋.

This Sake starts very bold with strong and bright flavors of tart apples and butterscotch. There is enough acidity to give this a short dry finish. Wow, the explosion of flavor woke me up. 😳

When I went to Takimoto, I suddenly felt like drinking a small bottle of nigori. It was the first time I bought Tsukitsukatsura since they changed the label to a fashionable one. Strong taste. Shuwa shuwa. I almost gushed out. The alcohol content is high, so the strong alcohol taste comes with a bang. The delicious taste of rice surges in. The sweetness is only slightly perceptible in the latter half of the bottle. Personally, I don't think it goes well with Tsuki no Katsura...

Sangu is the first time in about 2 years of sales. It has a solid body with the power of Aizan, but it feels lighter than the last time I drank it. It also seems a little sweeter... Is it my imagination? I have no complaints, and I still like the same type, but I wonder if my taste buds have changed? When I evaluate it calmly, I can taste the flavor and the sharpness is good. It is not fruity, but it is slightly sweet and well-balanced. It is a good sake!

Iga tasted sake from Nabari. We were served a five-year-old aged sake. The amber-colored sake was full of flavor that had been nurtured and matured over the years. It was a truly delicious sake with a dense flavor.

Nabari City, Mie Prefecture. Sawa Sake Brewing Company. Sangu Special Junmai Sake Tsukiyomi Sangu" which seems not to be drinkable any more. It was too good to drink, but I opened the bottle because I thought it was better to drink it before it got twitchy. We drank it cold. The first aroma is mild, citrusy, and alkali aroma. The color is clear with a slight yellow tinge. The taste starts with a slightly sharp acidity, and the nose is filled with a fluffy, mature aroma and a gradually swelling umami flavor. A slightly bitter taste lingers on the tongue and is slightly spicy. Maybe not my favorite... I think it is suitable for warming, so I tried heating it up. First trip to Nobee Yokocho this season! When heated, the acidity mellows out, the sweetness spreads as if the entire tongue is coated, the umami is more easily felt, and the acidity is calmed down. It is best when heated from about 50℃ and cooled down to lukewarm or lukewarm. I tried it when pyonpyon told me that heating it up softens the edginess, and it was perfect 😉. Heating up is a very deep process 🙄. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Saganohana Polishing ratio: Kakemai 50%, Kakemai 68 Alcohol content: 16

The bottle looks like champagne. When the clasp and cork are removed. "I heard a fizzing sound. I was afraid that it would overflow, but But I was able to pour it normally. But I was able to pour it. The sweetness is clear. It is a true champagne of rice. The alcohol content is also light at 12 degrees, making it easy to drink. It is stored in cherry barrels and undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is said that it is finished as sparkling.

Japanese>English

It's my first time drinking Shichiken raw😄. Sweet aroma like a cake. Almost no bubbles. The sweetness is moderate and the taste is cleaner than expected. The aftertaste is pleasantly spicy and bitter with a long finish. The finish is long and refreshing 🍎 like apples. Sashimi is a good match, but salt is a better match than soy sauce😋. This bottle is also only about 1,200 yen, so I guess Shichiken's cost is great👍👍.

Sparkling Japanese Sake. It was made with a lot of time and effort by laying it down in the whiskey barrels of Suntory Hakushu Distillery. I didn't have a chance to open the bottle after I bought it, but finally I did. It has a sharp throat. It's a great way to start the day. It's not as bad as the sparkling wine ☺️.

At home. The other day, on a trip to Aichi Atsuta Houraiken, I opened a bottle of the one I bought at the supermarket to have a little drink at the hotel. When I bought it, I thought it was a Nagoya sake.... But when I looked at it carefully, I realized it was Shizuoka sake. ‼️ It was refreshing and smooth, and although it had a sweet and alcoholic taste, it was easy to drink and the 300ml was gone in no time. ‼️ The second photo is from Atsuta Houraiken, and the third and fourth photos are from the next day's visit to the famous morning coffee shop Karasu, where I ordered an an-butter sandwich.

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.

I have a new impression of Ehime sake 😁. I had never had much Ehime sake before, but I had an image of it being somewhat mellow and dry. This sake is completely different, it is light and slightly acidic, and together with the bitterness in the aftertaste, it is somehow like grapefruit 😊. It also has a bit of a fizzy feel and is very easy to drink as there is no unpleasant spiciness that lingers in the throat 😋. If it were a little more sour, I think I would find it too sour for me, but this level of sourness is just right 😄. I'm only one bottle away from the nationwide domination of the four-gouple bottles or more limited edition. The last one is in Osaka, when can I achieve it? 😅

Japanese>English

The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.

First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Junmai Ginjo Namahasho, velour-like material on the label On the first day, it was a light, fresh yeast yeast. Apple-like aroma. A few days later, I drank it and found sourness and a slippery umami flavor. Can I write about my strange impression? The umami atmosphere and the aroma when it passed through the nose reminded me of tarako (cod roe). I wonder why... something about amino acids?
