This sake went well with kappo cuisine! It has depth! Not too much ginjo!

Japanese>English

It was completely destroyed by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but was rebuilt in the spring of the following year and named "Kuzo" (meaning "empty storehouse"), again starting from "zero" (空). What a mellow Junmai Daiginjo! It has a sweet top-shelf aroma with a hint of alcohol. The taste is not fruity or sour, but rather a spicy sweetness that dominates the tongue. The liquid has a slight yellowish tinge, and the legs are thin and clear.

Rice is grown in rice paddies that maintain the environment in which yago (Japanese bitterling) grows How can it not be delicious? I can't get enough of the shwashiness, which is different from that of raw sake (≧∇≦)! Thank you so much for the food. m(_ _)m

Japanese>English

It was a sweaty day as I went to line up in Ginza in the morning to buy a bottle of wine. The bottle said it was 18 degrees, so I enjoyed it slowly on the rocks. I served it with edamame (soybeans), leatherfish, sweet shrimp, and surume tempura. It was very tasty as a food sake.

(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Izumibashi today 😀. I can hardly smell the aroma 🤔I can taste the robust umami and slight sweetness on the palate 😚It's so refreshing and easy to drink 😊. It also seems to be recommended to be heated on the back, so I'm going to give it a try even though it's hot ✨. The aroma has opened up with umami aroma 😄It becomes smooth and delicious on the palate and the aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly 😋. Both were delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

This new brew has a pleasant lightness and freshness. It had a slight sweetness and a fruitiness to it. It also has a complex taste, I guess you could say it's full-bodied. I can't help but drink it! A rustic snowman is also very cute É It looks cloudy, but it's not nigorizake. Rakufumai is a brand of rice. It seems to be a light sake. Day 3, the sweetness and acidity is a little stronger now! Day 4, more flavor! Yummy.

Preferred: ★★★★☆☆ Cold sake: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Cold: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Lukewarm: ★★★★ When cold or chilled, it has an impressive aftertaste of bitterness and a slight gaseous sensation. When heated, the gaseous sensation subsides and a moderate aroma spreads, and a slight sweetness can be felt after the restrained bitterness. The common characteristics are a good balance of sharpness, aroma, and flavor. Serve with rolled egg, sardine nigiri, and warm udon noodles.

rice, jujubes, and clear walnuts?

Japanese>English

Looks like a new brewery: 🙇‍♂️ It's called sake, but it seems to be junmai (no mention of rice polishing ratio) 🌾. It rises with herbs, cream, and lychee ❔ pear ❔. The acidity is distinctive ❕, but it's not just light and fresh. But it's not just light, it's a solid, elegant, high quality sake ✨. I felt a very modern essence in a classic 🤔. And with this flavor, it is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm ❔. I tried it 🍶. Lukewarm changes the atmosphere of the acidity, it's sweet and sour like hot honey lemon 🍋. It's refreshing to begin with, but even more so: ☺️ It's also a great food sake 👍. I recommend drinking it cold to lukewarm, but after trying many different ways, I thought cold or lukewarm would be better 🤗.

Clean and refreshing taste. It is fresh and easy to drink. The ginjo aroma is also exceptional. It seems to go well with foods from the mountains.

I bought it because I had never drunk this brewery before and it was 300ml. It has a light banana-like nuance. It is slightly sweet and sour. It is crisp and the aftertaste is short.

Suginami Ward is offering a special campaign until tomorrow. We have taken advantage of it. To be honest, I chose this sake to paint the map. Today it was Temakizushi. It is a good sake to go with seafood. It is refreshing and easy to drink.

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to try it. It is a sake limited to a certain liquor store in Fukuoka. This is very tasty. The aroma is not so much. The taste is juicy and melon-like. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, which is also good. If you come to Fukuoka, I recommend you to buy it 🍶.

Japanese>English

☀️ This is the first time I've seen a drink without a label 🏷️. Instead it has a ribbon🎀 which makes it unique 🤩. There is an initial feeling of alcohol, but it is quickly followed by a sweetness. Soft sweetness with a melon flavor. It can be fluffed up as it is. A sake that tastes as unique as it looks 🍶.

Japanese>English

Leaving the new sake festival, we went to the second restaurant. The second party was at a soba restaurant on the restaurant floor of Amu Plaza Kumamoto, adjacent to the station. This soba restaurant has a great selection of sake 😁. The price is... no way 🤣. The second drink was Shashaemon I had this sake at this restaurant before, but I couldn't remember what it tasted like, so I ordered it. The moment I put it in my mouth, the gorgeous aroma spreads and sweetness, sourness, umami, and spiciness all come at once 😳. This feeling is like no other 😁. You can enjoy this on its own or as a food sake 🥰.

Then the middle one, "Senryo Otokoyama. Honey-like aroma. The mouthfeel is silky, but the flavor is similar to a juku-shu type. It has a honey and syrupy feel with a touch of pettiness. However, it is easy to drink, with no harshness or bitterness, perhaps because the overall assertiveness is modest! It is crisp but dense. It is a deep taste that is hard to describe!

GW 4 days 3 nights with wife, 1,500km round trip🤣 We went on a Sanriku car trip 🙂. We stayed one night near Sendai and went to Sanriku. We had an ume (sea urchin) lunch box at Kuji station, and spent the second night in Miyako. Miyako's sake brewery, Hishiya Sake Brewery, Senryo Otokoyama. Seafood Cuisine at Murekou, a long-established bar that has been in business for over 45 years.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_71 Iwate Prefecture Booth ⑥ Hishiya Sake Brewery is located in Miyako City. Located by the sea, this brewery was damaged by the Tohoku earthquake and resumed sake brewing relatively early with support from all over Japan, and has made a solid comeback. ◉Senryo Otokoyama Junmai Sake A clear sake with a nice acidity and umami that finishes off the taste. The sake is clear, but the acidity and umami give it a nice, robust flavor. Fukurai is proud to have inherited the skills of Katsutoshi Tsujimura, a master brewer who was selected as a "Modern Master Craftsman". Mr. Tsujimura was originally the second toji at Nishida Sake Brewery, which produces "Tasake" (rice wine). He became involved in sake brewing at Hishiya Sake Brewery in the fall of 2005, and the brewery is now run by the brewery's successor.
