Downhill Sake Story Event 3) From the Itami Laematsu Sake Brewery, established in 1688, we drank "Laematsu" Itamigo Special Honjozo, a highly prestigious sake for the Shogun. It has the flavor of honjozo and a smooth throat. It is also good as heated sake. A joint sake brewing song was performed. The song was sung in slightly different tunes at each brewery. It was a nice touch. The symbol of Kobe, the Port Tower🗼, is closed for renovation work.

Participating in JR West Japan's Ochoko Trip This month's sake at Laematsu was Junmai Ginjo! The original brand was gone, so they offered a slightly better sake! It had a rich aroma and a gentle taste.

Local Itami Sake in Tohoku We wanted to do this once. We brought okaki (Japanese crackers) as snacks. It's nice to have a familiar local taste plus the feeling of traveling! After the bitter taste, a subtle aroma spreads in your mouth! It goes well with the soy sauce flavored Okaki, but I'm worried about the sugar content 😭 I mean... here we are. If only we'd come a little earlier... it's a sad sight... although it's a traveler's dream

Sake from a brewery in my hometown. The original sake, which was brewed in 2001 and entered in a sake competition, was stored in ice for 20 years. We were grateful to receive it.

Today is the day of the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake, and I took it slow, I was in the mood for some country sake. Takanoi sake at room temperature to warmed sake. Newspaper (Niigata Nippo) Maki The taste is not flashy, but when heated up, it has an orthodox and authentic flavor.

My first impression was that it was more mellow than Niigata's "light" image. I wondered what would happen when I turned over the newspaper, but I didn't expect to find the same label on it. I guessed it would be Gohyaku Mangoku, although it is not written on the label. It has a refined, clean, but soft, rice cake-like sweetness that only Gohyaku Mangoku can produce, and it flows from the tip of the tongue down the throat. It is a little different from "light and dry," with a firm richness and a sense of alcohol, and in keeping with the mountainous climate of Ojiya, it would go well with wild vegetables and meat dishes such as Echigo pork. For fish, it would be better with river food than sea food. Green bamboo, Japanese honeysuckle, freshly pounded rice cakes, apricot bean curd, lime

This is one of the bottles that was sold in a set with Tobiroki at Hasegawa sake shop, it was made in October 2020, so I guess they used Tobiroki to clear this stock 😅. I'm not a big fan of the Satsuma Masamune, but I'm not a big fan of the Tobiroki either. I was a bit worried because it's a raw stored sake, almost a year after production, but there were no quality issues 😄. Rather, I didn't feel the peculiarity that I felt when I drank Junmai Ginjo before, and it tastes better than that time 🌟. It has a slight sweetness, a strong alcohol feeling and a spiciness that comes down the throat, not very distinctive but enough for everyday drinking. Cold sake is the best 😚

I wanted to drink Fukuoka's Hohokekyo A local store started carrying it, so I bought it right away 😆. I started with the summer sake Inabikari, which has a fresh melon-like fruitiness and flavor 😋. It has a unique taste that is different from other fruity sakes. It's also refreshing and easy to drink, just like a summer sake 😙. I can't wait to try the other Uguisu as well!

Refreshing, crisp, dry 🍶. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a slight fluffiness and crispness ✨. When you swallow it, you will feel a strong sensation in the back of your throat It is a feeling that lingers in the back of the throat after swallowing 🍶. It's delicious.

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.
Today's offering is Waka Botan from Usa, Bungo Province! What a surprise! It is Sanwa Shuzui, which brews the famous shochu "Iichiko". Sanwa Shuzui, which brews the famous shochu "Iichiko". It is tasteful to read about the company's history. Well, the smell is sweet, and it has a lactic acid aroma. The taste is sweet, with a hint of citrus. I think it is a delicious bottle because it has no alcohol taste! thanks Hasegawa Sake Shop (Musashi Province: Edo)

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Shizuoka Business Trip Part ㉔ Last week, on my way back from Mishima, I stopped by Nagashima-san in Numazu and bought some sake from Kunika Sake Brewery. The aroma is refreshing and clean 🤔. 🤔In the mouth Beautiful and soft 😊Refreshing acidity and a good umami taste 😚👍and it's a delicious sake that I never get tired of drinking 🥳.

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.

This was the first time I drank Abe-kan at home. The one I drank in the past was a special sake with a special kijoshu spec, so I don't think it was any different from the first time I drank it. It is dry with a strong gassy and acidic taste. It is not that sweet, but it is easy to drink because of the sourness. I don't think I've ever seen Abe-kan sold anywhere but Edion Namba.

I bought this Suzune for my wife who wanted to drink it 😛 lol The gasiness is still the same, but the rice flavor and acidity are there, but the impression is a little lighter than Suzune. I think I like this one better because it's more refreshing✨.

Today, my wife and son bought some Hakuryu Nigori👍 at a nearby Aeon. Thanks for telling me that you saw Hakuryu nigori sake with a warning sign on it so you bought it for me ❣️ I've been drinking beer and shochu on the days we don't have sake at home, but it doesn't suit my constitution or something 😅I wake up at least 3 times during the night and rush to the bathroom 🤔❓I'm still not sure if it's the amount of sake I drink or the fact that it's alcoholic or not 🤔❓ Well then, open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is lactic acid with a hint of alcohol. The taste is also lactic acidic with a strong carbonation 👍It has 18% alcohol by volume so if I finish it, I will get very drunk 🤣. I'd recommend it more as a standalone drink than as a food drink 😆.

A refreshing, light and dry nigori sake. It's been a while since I've had a Shiryu from Niigata, but I get the impression that they make a good value for money Ginjo-shu. Chilled tofu with "leek and ginger", which I got because I was curious about it from Supoyo's post.
