Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

I bought it at the Aeon system big. This is the first time I've had an Aomori sake. It's sweet but easy to drink. It's delicious. I'm happy to pay about 1,000 yen for a 720ml bottle.

Japanese>English

Aomori's sake is hard to find locally🥺 I thought I'd have to go out of the prefecture or poke around, but my wife bought some at a department store that the clerk recommended. It's a limited edition sake made by Momokawa, a sake brewery near Hachinohe, using "Mashigura" rice grown in Oirase town and fermented at low temperature for a long time. When we drank it chilled, my wife and I said, "Wow, this is delicious 😆 ". Fruity, light and elegantly sweet😍. It's similar to the Mimuro Sugi's Grazie Airdio that we drank recently. It's easy to drink, even though it's over 17 degrees alcohol. There are many other good sakes in Aomori 👏 besides Denshu, Hassen and Toyoupai.

Japanese>English

I bought it because of the cool bottle, the lettering, and the phrase "cold brewed, Shiboritate limited edition"! It's a freshly squeezed new sake that's only available once a year 💓. Right after opening the bottle, it's super fresh ⚡️I'd say it's light and dry, but still nenne and not enough 😅. On the second day, the richness comes out. On the third day or so, I think the sweet aroma finally started to stand out ✨But by that time I only had one more batch left 🤣. The result was a type that was hard to open, but I enjoyed it 🕺🎵.

Fruity and very tasty. Easy to drink for everyone and my favorite.

Japanese>English

Local breweries, neighborhood supermarkets If it's good, it's profitable. The aroma is average for a ginjo, and the mouthfeel and taste are both somewhat characteristic, with some bitterness. The mouthfeel is not gorgeous, but rather a hard smell that passes into a flower, giving the impression of a dry taste at the throat. Officially, it has a sake rating of +4. Unfortunately, the impression of bitterness remains in the head until the end, and unfortunately it shows up both in the sake by itself and when combined with something else. Unfortunately, it shows up both on its own and with something else. I think those who do not feel this discomfort can match it with anything. I thought the cospa was not bad, but I think I will pick up a different brand if it is Tenshin.

Outside drinking. Ordered by the impact of the name. When poured, it smells moist and sweet. The taste is as expected (?). The sweetness is strong. When tasted, it has the flavor of rice. There is a slight astringency in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is clean, with a watery sensation and a nice clean finish. There is a distinctive sweet aroma. It is a mellow, sweet sake, and you can sense the careful craftsmanship. Later I looked it up and found the word "Toyobai" 😳. I didn't realize it was so 😚.

Pair it with sweet and spicy peppers and it's refreshing, gobble it up. It's a raw sake version of Mohawk Girl, so it's Mohawk Raw Girl 😅 Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230913

The aroma is fruity, but not overpowering. The color is beautiful and the taste is sour, but it is dry, so it is very refreshing and delicious. Today I dare to drink it without a side dish. The alcohol content is high at 20 degrees, so be careful not to drink too much😊.

Japanese>English

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. There were so many hiyaoroshi that I had to decide which one to buy ✌️ 720ml ¥2,145 It's the 2nd day of the party! Here's a quick comment! The aroma is slightly fruity💕. The color is golden and beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth💕 The sweetness and umami of the rice comes to the forefront, but you can also taste the sharpness💕 It is a very beautiful sake without any unpleasant taste 💕 My wife also appreciated the taste 👍 Today's pairing is Shime saba (mackerel) and sashimi 💕 how could it not go well together 😊. It's a perfect match for my grandchildren and the party ✌️.

Japanese>English

Oh no, the UI has changed too much and it's hard to operate. It's hard to get used to it. I forgot to give you the drink I drank when I went on a business trip. It has an apple-like aroma. Dry and full of rice flavor. Very tasty with cod chrysanthemum ponzu vinegar as a side dish.

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 🤭.

I bought it because I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time! This is the third time I've had it, so I'll spare you my impressions. It has a light, light flavor with a yogurt or yoghurt-like feel, with hints of mushrooms and maltiness. It's perfect with hamburgers and a reset ✨. I found a regular "Kunimori Nigori Shu" on sale, so maybe I'll buy it next time!

Japanese>English

I bought it again because I drank it before and enjoyed the yogurina feel! I just drank it a month ago so I will spare you my impressions 🫡. It is also interesting to note that the lighter the stirring is, the more lactic acid drink-like it becomes as it goes to the bottom, and the more it feels like yoghurina at the beginning and calpis or yakult at the end!

I went to the Fushimi Sake Festival. I bought two bottles of sake that I particularly liked from what I drank there. The first bottle was Kyo Hime Daiginjo Takumi. It is a very tasty and favorite sake, hard but full of flavor.

A gorgeous aroma and flavor that penetrates the nose the moment it hits the palate. The slightly dry, powerful, yet refreshing finish leaves a clear and refreshing impression. The balance is exquisite.

After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

Japanese>English

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.
