At home. This is the first time I've had sake from Hokkaido. I thought that Hokkaido's sake was more alcoholic, but it was completely different. You can feel the sweetness of the rice, and there is a bitter taste at the end. It is a refreshing type and very easy to drink. We received a lot of sake from Hokkaido, so we will try to taste and upload it little by little.

A Drink to Remember Series (5) In the early summer of 2015, I planned to take my car on a ferry to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, and when I arrived safely in Wakkanai, I had a drink at a yakitori restaurant for the first time in my life 🍶. The memory reminds me of the faint muscat-like aroma and sharp sharp sharpness 😋. The beauty of the label with the brand name, the wish behind the name "Fuyu Hanabi", and the taste of the local sake when you drink it on a trip...it was one of the reasons I became a sake lover 🎵. I still see it at Sake-no-wa from time to time, so I couldn't help but fish it out from old photos 😆. By the way, the picture was taken when I drank it with my family at the New Year's celebration after I returned from my trip. The other bottle in the picture, "Yukikirara", will be introduced another time ✨😉👍️

This is Kitanoshiki Houmon Honjozo. It is a little dry sake, but you can feel the sweetness. It is a delicious sake.

This is also Ehime's Chiyonokame🍶. I bought this one as a set 💡. I don't know why I take pictures when I see a big fortune on the back 😎😎.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had sake. I don't often have a chance to drink Ehime sake, but I remembered this bottle that my aunt gave me and opened the bottle. It is a light cloudy, shwashy sake. It is sweet and slightly bitter. Delicious. I can only thank my aunt for this.

Next is Bishu Kotobuki's Kame-no-o + No. 7 Orikarami. This was also freshly opened. First, it was served cold. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight acidity, umami, and sweetness. It gradually finishes with a slight astringency that is typical of Kame-no-o. Next, it was served warm. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, it has a slightly robust umami and sweetness. The taste is slightly astringent, which is typical of Kame-no-o, and it gradually fades away. It tastes better when heated up too.

Japanese>English

The first saké I had last time was a clear saké of Yumeginko from Bishu Kotobuki with No.7 yeast. It is a draft sake, but it was stored at room temperature at the store, so we served it as it was. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of banana and ripe melon. In the mouth, the sweetness and umami are again like banana and ripe melon. The flavor profile is even clearer than last time, sweet and delicious 🥰. I think this sake tastes better if you let it sit for a bit after opening. It was delicious 🍶✨

Japanese>English

Finally, we had a bottle of Yumeginko +7 Sumi-shu. This was also freshly opened. First, it was served at room temperature. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity with a hint of sweetness and umami like banana or ripe melon. The flavor profile is clear, probably due to the lack of orikura. Then warmed up. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, it has a sweetness and umami like banana and ripe melon. The moderate acidity adds a nice accent. Both cold and warmed sake were delicious. I think this was also the best of the three. They have 2 types of Sumi-shu and 1 type of Oragara-mi that I haven't tried yet, so I have to go drink them 😋.

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (3) Shinkansen On the way back from Shin-Yamaguchi, I visited Izakaya Shinkansen after a long time 😆. Drinking Sandesi that I got yesterday at Kinko's Sake Brewery, I asked if they had 300ml of this at the brewery yesterday. I asked if they had a 300ml bottle of the Junmai Ginjo that I bought in a 4-quart bottle, so I asked if they had a different one. The one they brought out was still freshly made! The label was still fresh! I was so excited 😁. I told him it was fine if it didn't have a label on it (it's rare), but he said no, he called someone and went to the trouble of putting it on (thanks 🙇 ). mountain travel, water travel, and water travel A little sweet and sour. I remember that the last time I drank it, it was a little more dry and refreshing, maybe because it was cold sake. But this one is not so called sweet, but I can feel the sweetness of the rice. It's a nice taste! This time, I brought a glass (ochoko size) as a strong helper 🤣🤣. The possibility of having someone next to you increases as you go from Hiroshima to Okayama to Kobe. I'm a bit nervous😅😅

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (1) Kanemitsu Brewery The day before, I had no special plans, so I arrived in Yamaguchi a little early and went to the Kinko's Sake Brewery (one stop from Shinzanguchi), which I thought would be a good place to visit. I was allowed to sample some 🍶 and was told to "take your pick from this list" 😆! I was so excited 😆. Nigori First impression, dark! This cloudy dark! Of course it is sweet! Junmai Ginjo Beautiful, delicious, soft acidity and sweetness! ZORRO This is another beautiful sake, but a little different from Junmai Ginjo. It has more acidity and fruity taste than Junmai Ginjo. Daiginjo Even clearer and more beautiful. I had called in advance (but an hour before) and felt bad that the person at the brewery had to deal with me. But they treated me well! 🙇. The nigori and junmai ginjo are new sake, and the other sake are this year's. The bottles are ready, but will be bottled after tomorrow. It's ready, but they say it will be bottled after tomorrow. I bought a freshly made Junmai Ginjo because I wanted to try it. There were also some other rare sake (aged sake) that I couldn't decide which to buy.., I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen at Izakaya. I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen (bullet train).

This Sake has a full mouth feel and some sweetness at the beginning. The flavor of this Sake is bigger than other Seitoku Sake but it still has good balance. Very good with big flavor foods like mapo tofu.

This Sake has an initial sweetness and a full mouth feel. There is a hint of cedar as the alcohol clears my pallet. Very good with big flavor foods like yakiniku. Seitoku has many Sake that I enjoy.

This Sake is light, refreshing and easy to drink. I am revisiting this Sake because it has been a while since I last drank it. I enjoy the mild flavors of apple and melon with a clean, short aftertaste. This is a refreshing and well balanced Sake.

Here are the comments from the sake shop While it has a light, dry tone, it has a richness and umami that can be felt well. It is a sake with a good balance of five tastes.

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.
