A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Souvenir purchase from a trip to Osaka (2) This one is also dry and mild on the palate. Light. It has acidity and is fruity. I wonder if Kansai people tend to drink a lot of mustard.

This is a Saturday story. We moved on from Ojinja Shrine. We arrived at Imai-cho, where the old townscape remains. We mainly went for a walk, but of course we stopped by Kawai Sake Brewery! This building is also full of nostalgic atmosphere. I had my autograph pen at the ready, hoping to have a chance to meet the brewer. But, no luck. No one was there. The tasting fee is only available during peak season," he said. In the end, we bought only a cup of sake and left the brewery. I had a cup of sake! Yes, it is delicious! It has a classic flavor, but it's clean and non-habitual. It also tastes a little sweet. It was gone in no time at all. This looks like it would go great with food.

It was time for a very late lunch. The long-awaited Nagashi Somen! All tables are equipped with a circular Nagashi Somen machine. It must be Instagram-worthy! We laughed at this! Since we were there, we had some sake. Nara sake is on the menu. I ordered "Unebi," a name I didn't know. Oh, it's a sake from Mr. Izumio~! It's Naminami Monokiri. Thank you! It's a solid sake! Goes well with tempura. Local sake is the best! After this, we moved to Imai-cho. I was surprised to see that the station I got off at was Unebi station. I was surprised to get off at Unebi station.

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

A blend of several daiginjos. The aroma is light and the taste is slowly sweet. The aftertaste is not so long. When served with stewed beef tongue, the soy sauce flavor will give it a refreshing taste. Japanese Sake Festival

This brand impressed me at the end of May this year. It was an unfiltered, raw, undiluted summer sake. This time, I will have a dry one. Ooooooooo! The aroma is vinegar-like. It smells like vinegar. When you drink it, the atmosphere reminds you of that excitement. The summer sake was thick, but this one is super light. It is light and fruity. It is delicious! Mr. Okada, the brewer, was at the store. I immediately asked him for his autograph! He was very shy and said, "This is the first time for me to write something like this. I am so happy! I would love to visit the warehouse. I have one more thing on my to-do list to look forward to! Thank you, President Okada!

Japanese>English

It will be a gift🙏. This is a special junmai from Morinori brewed by Okada Honke in Kakogawa, Hyogo Prefecture. It was recommended to me by someone who knows a lot about Japanese sake. It is fresh and has a refreshing taste with a richness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku and can be enjoyed while savoring the sake. ☺️

The second bottle was the remainder of the Tozawa Hitogokochi from the previous Shinshu Kamerei. The third bottle is here ‼️again Nagano sake 😋. I️️️tsukiyoshi no ‼️. The toji is a woman! Nagano sake is delicious 😋. I thought it was sweet, but it seems pretty dry 😋I think it's a great sake for a meal 👍Drinking it chilled is a great way to get a kick out of it👍. I heard one of the hyenas was today's No. 1 😆.

Weekday off for lunchtime drinking. Izakaya in Akabane. I heard from a junior colleague that the hegi soba (buckwheat noodles) is delicious, so I visited the izakaya. First, I had Tsukiyoshino's orikagarami. The taste is gentle, elegant, and attractive.

Igarashi Sake Brewery in Hanno City, Saitama Junmai Daiginjo. The rice for the sake is Kitashizuku🌾。 This is a limited edition of 600 bottles stored at freezing temperatures (-5 degrees Celsius) for 5 months, and I want to drink it 💦 This is a small 180ml bottle at Yokouchi Sake Shop Drinking Comparison Day. So_1F350 A little gassy, like a summer drink. The mouth is a little hot 🔥. It's hard to describe, but it's sweet and spicy. 16% alcohol and 47% rice polishing ratio

Purchased in Nerima Ward, Tokyo ♪ Alcohol content@16 Sake degree @ Undisclosed Acidity @ Undisclosed Rice used: Undisclosed Rice Polishing Ratio@Undisclosed Personal Recommendation@3.8/5.0 Fusui is the third brand of Igarashi Shuzo following Tenranzan and Igarashi. ❣️ A fire-brewed, undiluted blend of the three Junmai Daiginjo, Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Sake in the Fusui series 😍. Now Igarashi Sake Brewery is complete 😝. It's not a draft sake, but it needs to be refrigerated, but it's delicious warmed up too ❓❓❓❓ but I can't drink heated sake on this hot day, so I'll drink it chilled to a crisp. ✌️ The aroma is mild but apple-like. It's not gassy at all. Igarashi is known for its gasiness when pumped directly from the bottle. It has a slight sweetness in the mouth 👄. And a slight bitterness that spreads 👄. This is a well-balanced sake, It doesn't have any outstanding characteristics, but as a food sake, I would give it an acceptable score. ✌️

Japanese>English

It has a very good mouthfeel and a clean aftertaste, making it very easy to drink and delicious! Even my friend who had never had much sake before was hooked!

At a soba noodle restaurant, my husband had a little share of the drink.â Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15 Classic taste of rice flavor. It has a twangy feeling, but when drunk with chicken tempura, it tastes just right and is delicious ♡♡♡♡♡♡. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are paintings that are OK to photograph ✨.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown It is a unique sake. The palate has a moderate sweetness, but not so much that it can be described as dry. The umami spreads slowly, The acidity is very effective and tight. It is not peculiar, but it is a type that cannot be tasted anywhere else. I like this balance and sense of taste. Interesting sake, I found it: ❣️

Japanese>English

This is also our first time to visit this brewery. I'm glad to see that they have a lot of unpasteurized sake. I completely forgot about the bad things at work and went into drinking mode. Just like the label on the back, this sake has a lot of flavor, but it's not heavy. Even though it was nigori, it didn't feel sloppy. It was an easy to drink sake.
