Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food. It has a nice aftertaste.

First time drinking at Japanese Sake Festival Osaka ③. This is Okuhida-san, which I really got for the first time 😀. The first green sparkling sake was quite tasty, but the one that surprised me the most was this Tokujun Hi-ire 😇. The nuance of the flavor was more like Jungin than Tokujun 😀 It had the flavor of rice, but also had the taste of rice. The overall flavor was cohesive while still having the deliciousness of rice 😀. I heard that this sake is also available in a raw type, but unfortunately it was not exhibited this time 🤣. But I would like to taste the raw version again 😀.

Japanese>English

As you can see in the picture, the sake was fresh, sweet, refreshing and easy to drink 🍶.

I know fukui has some kind of austere image 😅. But when I tried it, I found it very easy to drink and delicious ❗️. It's a sake with a characteristic sourness as shown on the label, and it tastes rather modern 😄. It has a delicious flavor and the acidic aftertaste is refreshing and very tasty 👍

Easy to drink with no sense of aging or anything. Quite fruity. I was served it because there was not much left.

Found it at a local store I sometimes go to 👀. I had no prior knowledge of the brand, but was attracted by the sexy label and the owner's comment that it was "sweet and delicious" 😁. It is indeed sweet. But not sticky, clean and elegant sweetness 😋. By the third day, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was balanced 😆 Uma~! I guess the 6th place in the Saga ranking is not for nothing 😆😆. Thanks for the food 🙏🙏.

This is a new series from Issen Fudo. It expresses "playfulness" and We use white koji for the preparation. It is characterized by the refreshing sweetness of the rice. The rugged image of single-mindedness and steadfastness. It's subverted in a good way.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! 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👍.

A gift of Koshino Kanbai, 100% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 30%! The aftertaste of Yamadanishiki, with its moderate bitterness and full flavor, is good.... I guess...

I bought it at Max Value. The aroma is lightly fruity? It's a good idea to try a little bit of both. Today, my second son is taking care of me. It is better than drinking alone✌️. I think I'm going to drink too much😊😊😊.

It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

Japanese>English

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

Purchased at Sanyotsuru Sake Brewery at Saijo Sake Festival. Almost exclusively distributed locally and not seen at all outside of the prefecture🤔. I got the impression that there were fewer customers on the day of the festival than elsewhere, probably because the brewery is located on the edge of the Saijo area! Slightly yellow Aroma like chocolate, nuts and honey Soft impression Smooth, round and gentle flavor Rather dry

Japanese>English

☀️ Drunk, I left the Saijo Sake Festival and went into my hotel. I'll have a few drinks with my spoils 😋. We will have Sanyotsuru's Sake Festival limited edition sake with Fukubito's Masu 😄. Snacks are beef tongue🐮 and chicken liver with ginger🐔🫚 bought at the Saijo Sake Festival square. Mild taste with clean sweetness and umami 😚. The woody aroma of the Masu adds a noble guest, woody and a bit fruity ✨. The cypress Masu is good for less aromatic sake😙. With beef tongue 🐮 and chicken liver with ginger 🐔🫚, the flavor increased and had a synergistic effect 🤗. The sake forest was beautifully lit up at night ⭐️

Fresh Umami Invigorating Fizzy Acidity Crisp Bitterness Fruity

Tensei 1

Tensei 3

At home. It is the first Kanagawa and the first Tensei. The aroma is slightly fruity. The characteristic is the softness when you put it in your mouth. It's so tasteless and odorless that you think it's water for a moment, but it makes your mouth swell up. The smell of Cemedine in the nose and throat is clear. It's the first time I've ever felt such a sensation.

Japanese>English

Purchased for the purpose of coloring Kanagawa Prefecture😅. It had a green apple-like aroma, a refreshing taste, and the sweetness of rice. I could feel the producer's "penetrating tininess and full of moisture". We will soon be able to complete the Kanto area as Hanahayo and Yamori will be in the cellar as well 😊.

Japanese>English

Polishing ratio 100%. The color is golden rather than yellow. It has a grassy, black vinegar, and when shaken, it has an apple-like flavor. It has a honey, sour, vinegar, and umami taste. It seems to have five times more amino acids than regular sake, which may be responsible for the umami and acidity. The umami lingers for a long time. It has a long lingering umami aftertaste. It has a sour, umami, vegetal, and matured taste, and the surging sourness and umami make it hard to feel the 16% alcohol content. It is good with Robatazuke and pickled plums. It is good with food.

It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!
