Ƹ(ˊizumiˋ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No. ㉗ I had my first Kurosawa 🏮 at an izakaya🏮 around Kamisuwa station 😋. The aroma is mildly fruity 😊The taste on the palate is round, with mild acidity and umami 😘It's a delicious sake that goes down smoothly 😚. I had some time to kill before checking in at my hotel that day, so I went to the outer shrine of Suwa Taisha Shrine 🙋‍♀️ and it brought back memories of my old visits 😌 my mind was purified😇.

It was hot... in May... in Saitama Prefecture too. There were some extremely hot days 🤣. On the last day of GW, I went to a shopping mall on the way home from a movie with my wife. I went to a shopping mall to do some shopping. We wandered around Cardi's. Sake. Ice sake?　I thought it would be good when it gets hotter. I tossed it in the back of the basket. I had it waiting in the freezer, but I didn't realize how quickly it would crisp up. It was hot, so I decided to finish it off with a dessert. Adult sherbet Naoshichi is a brand of citrus fruit from Kochi. It's good to have in the freezer from now on. ⭕️ The manufacturer is Kikusui Sake Brewery. No, it's from Kochi, so it's from here.

Okan's present sake series. Today I chose Kikusui. I didn't know there was a Kikusui in Tosa. I didn't know that😓I expected some sweetness since it is a junmai ginjo, but it was very dry. Sometimes it is nice to drink sake at room temperature. It's a single-batch bottle, so it's easy to open 😄.

Kansai Sake-new year off-line meeting (9) The fun continues ✨ We had a great conversation about the rare sake at the beginning of the party 🍶. Nishibori Tank Gake Shibori. Fruity aroma with a hint of honey, sweetness with no unpleasant taste, and a pleasantly clean aftertaste. This is delicious! I wonder if this is a private brand product of Nishibori Shuzo, a brewery in Tochigi that brews "out of the gate" and a liquor store 🤔. Tochigi love 🥰 even in Kansai offline meeting

Japanese>English

SAKEWA Kansai Chapter 2024 New Year's Party Report: 2️⃣ Next up was another unfiltered raw sake✨. Nishibori had never had one before so we decided to order it 💡. It has a strong rice sweetness, and this one is also sweet like Wasanbon, leaving a bit of a lingering taste on the tongue. Upon closer inspection, it was a Tochigi sake 👀. It was like we were all drinking while saying that Tochigi sake is of a high level after all. ⤴️

Japanese>English

Nishibori Aka Foil Short-stalked Watabune, reduced agrochemical rice sake, ginjo-non-filtered raw sake, jozo alcohol I personally like these labels. Many people who are not familiar with "Nishibori" may know the brand name of "Monsai Huzue". This is my first time drinking Nishibori, and it is delicious. It is a sake with a good flavor and sharpness. Short-stalked boat" is the parent of Yamada-Nishiki, a precious rice that has been revived in the modern age. I have not yet fully understood the characteristics of the taste, but I have the impression that it is lighter than Yamada. There is not much information about Nishibori on the Internet, so it may be that only a small amount is produced. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230421

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

Chidori Masamune is a Japanese sake from Sanda City! It is packed with umami, and although brewer's alcohol is added, the lingering aftertaste is amazing! Even when heated, the flavor is outstanding, and it is the best of the best!

〰fixture Association Yeast No. 601 🌾Weighing: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture 2021/03 The umami of rice, which is typical of junmai, comes in softly. The astringent bitterness comes quickly. The bitterness is quite bitter.

Japanese>English

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

Memorandum📝. The most addictive sake in hiyaoroshi. It has a bitter and smoky taste, The maturity of the sake envelops you with a roundness from start to finish. It is a sense of security from childhood, surrounded by babysitters. It is an excellent sake that can be served cold or hot. I drank two bottles in one season.

At the Fukushima Sake-Miso and Soy Sauce Festival. A sparkling sake with secondary fermentation in the bottle, it is characterized by bursting bubbles and an elegant taste. The alcohol content is low at 12 degrees.

Japanese>English

Started work today. Fukushima Prefecture, Kawanuma-gun. Toyokuni Sake Brewing Co. Toyokuni Tokubetsu Junmai Yamadanishiki Nama-Nagara Sake Toyokuni is famous for its "Ippou-self" (Higashi) from Ishikawa County, and Toyokuni from Aizu, Kawanuma County, where we will drink this time. I found out that there are two Toyokuni Shuzo Goshi companies with the same name. The brewer here told me that they no longer have to indicate the year of production. He told me that this brewery is identified by its own production number, NP-23C, where NP is not known, but 23 is the year 2023, and C is March, since the months go up alphabetically from A to January. I bought a bottle of March released Nama sake in November 😁. I drink it cold. The color is light for an aged sake, just enough yellow to be discernible. The aroma is sweet and mature, like burnt caramel. It also has a honey-like flavor. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light, and the flavor has the extremes of sweetness and nuttiness that are typical of a matured wine. After swallowing, the matured aroma lingering in the nose expands and the concentrated sweet and delicious taste increases. A bit of sourness at the end. It has the juiciness and depth of a pure sake, and is rich, mellow, and delicious. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Polishing ratio:60% Flattened rice Rice used: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Alcohol Content:16% Alcoholic Beverage

🐟 This is the first ayu we tasted at the ski lodge. It was refreshing and sweet, and was a nice palate cleanser when drunk in the middle of a meal. It's a shame that I could only drink one cup of it. The label is cute too 🐟

Japanese>English

🌥 It was chilly today 😢. I opened a "first sweetfish" which is cool to look at ✌️. The taste is just like the impression on the label❗️ It's fresh, smooth and easy to drink 🙂. A cool sweetness that is elegant. As for the acidity, as you continue to drink it... oh, maybe there is a little? It's just a little bit. The bitterness you feel after swallowing is also refreshing 😆 . The alcohol content is 16 degrees, but it's like drinking a low alcohol I feel like I'm drinking low alcohol 😉 . It's like drinking a low-alcohol drink....

Japanese>English

This is the first sweetfish recommended by the liquor store 🐟. I bought it by the square because they say it's sweet and tasty this year✨. I had my wife drink it and it was sweet and easy to drink ‼️ 🍶.

Tokyo's local sake. Trial 300ml bottle. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter. Fresh, light, and refreshing? It is easy to drink without any habits. It's quite tasty...I guess it's like a light and delicious sake...I didn't know there was such a Junmai-shu in Tokyo...

Japanese>English

Rice used: Akebono from Okayama Prefecture, Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture, Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture This is a new product from a local liquor store. I thought it was a Toyama sake, but it turned out to be an Edo sake. The acidity is strong, and there is a refreshing summery flavor. The bitter and spicy aftertaste is also good. The overall balance is not bad. Sake from Tokyo is not to be underestimated ❗️
