This is the first time to drink this brand❗️ This sake is sold at a limited number of stores❗️ The only place to buy it is from the liquor store that was involved in making the rice. Aroma of yogurt❗️Taste I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you like, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to find something that I like. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.

I had a bottle of this last month, and it tasted like wine, so even if you don't like sake, I recommend it. I finished a bottle in no time. I'd definitely buy it if I could find it in a store😋.

Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

Japanese>English

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

Rabenten is not often seen at liquor stores, but since it was at a department store, I bought it. The Yamadanishiki sake was sold out, so I chose Dewa Sanzan. It is quite gorgeous and fruity. The second half is a little spicy, but it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

This Sake is fruity, crisp and has a long aftertaste. The flavor is like a young pear with a hint of licorice. The acidity gives this a bright and full mouth feel. I am surprised at how long the finish is for this Sake.

To close out the summer. Looking back on summer. Finding the Bentsen Natsu Ginjo After all, the Bentsen suits me. It is crisp and has an indescribable sweetness. I want to call it "Benten Umami", not "Japan Blue". Yamagata's local sake.

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Japanese>English

It was purchased at the Yukiguni Shuho Kanazawa-ya Sake Shop and was fire-aged in August 2021. It was a bottle that had been sitting in the refrigerator. It is brewed with Hachitan-nishiki grown under contract with four farmers in Kakizaki, Joetsu City, and sold year-round. Polishing ratio is 55%. Alcohol level is 15 degrees Celsius. Sake degree is +3 and slightly dry. Hachitan-Nishiki is a sake rice that has both a rich and crisp flavor. It is said to have an aroma that sometimes reminds one of green grass. When opened, the aroma is fresh and elegant, with no hint of sweetness. When poured into the sake cup, it is smooth and has a slightly yellowish flavor. Taking a sip, it is smooth on the palate, with a light, dry taste spreading through the mouth with a slight sourness, but there is a lingering aftertaste with richness and gorgeousness at the back. It is a little dry, which is my recent favorite, and it is a good bottle to be served well chilled. Delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

I was curious about this local sake from Kakizaki, Joetsu City. It seems to be a summer sake, but it is a very tasty one with a refreshing acidity like grapefruit and a clear sweetness. The label is also fashionable and would be a good choice for beginners. 🙆‍♂️

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

I was curious about Kanagawa sake 🍶 purchased at the brewery. Is it for export? Stylish bottle. It has a 90% Omachi rice polishing ratio and 40% koji ratio from Okayama Prefecture. Aroma: Mellow Omachi sweet aroma...sweet mouthfeel! It's not so much a food sake as a wine, but rather a wine that can be drunk in small sips. It's like a dolce in wine. Recommended for first time sake drinkers! I can't wait for this encounter with this delicious sake!

Purchased at the Origuchi Sake Shop when I went to make a reservation for the Risshun morning pressing. Dark sweetness and strong acidity. The acidity is apple-like. It has a strong sweetness and acidity, but it is light and refreshing and easy to drink. It is a little dry and has a cider-like atmosphere with no gasiness.

This one was given to me in return for sake I sent to my boss, and it's my first Fukuoka Prefecture sake! I didn't know what to choose when it came to Fukuoka sake, so I'm very grateful to be able to drink it in this form! It is a well-balanced and delicious sake. The most wonderful thing about this sake is that it is fire-aged, so it is hard to lose this flavor. It tastes great even after a few days. Although there is sweetness, it does not bother you too much because the main flavor is umami. What is this feeling of being able to drink without getting tired of it? It is not so much sourness, bitterness, or astringency, and it is strange that it is smooth but somehow deep and earthy. Actually, I forgot to post this post after drinking it, but I had this one for New Year's Day. This kind of aromatic and light sake was definitely a good match for Japanese dishes like Osechi. My first Fukuoka sake was a simple and good sake.

Japanese>English

It has a good fruity aroma and taste. It was refreshing and easy to drink.

100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture. It has a firm taste. It is not spectacular, but it has a umami taste and is dry. but it has a delicious flavor and dry taste. It went well with the bitterness of the roasted yellowtail.

It is sweet, but has a good sharpness. Light and refreshing after opening the bottle. and refreshing 😋. Another delicious sake 😆.

Japanese>English

Very refreshing! First taste is muscat with a hint of cucumber towards the finish. There is a slight dryness at the finish which is nice. A light mouth feel and a short finish. The name of this Sake is true to the flower.

I took a break from work and took a ferry to Beppu: 🛳️ My wife, who is in charge of trip planning, was so excited. She must have looked really tired😅. I washed my mind at a luxurious inn. The only thing I knew about Oita Prefecture was Chiebijin, but there was also this Waka Botan, Nishi no Seki, Kaorucho, etc. The waitress told us that this Waka Botan was very strong. She said that people who don't drink much sake are surprised by it. Really? Well, I am a beginner, so I was surprised. It is true that it has a strong acidity like white wine, but it is sweet and very tasty. There was also a green label of Chuebijin's rarely seen edible rice "Shunyo", which was also delicious. It is also delicious. Juicy sake, like muscat or melon. Oita Prefecture is amazing! Waka Botan, is it a rare sake? I looked it up on Sake-no-wa and found that Nemuchi-san is drinking it! As expected of the first 🫶 I have nothing but respect 🤭.

Tomin frozen at Nakamachidai.... It's still thawing and the ice is still puffy...it's so good😋I also thawed some hibernation oysters and had them as a snack...they were so plump! I'm impressed by the recent quick freezing technology. This sake is worth a try.
