First time drinking outside in a while, and the second drink was ayu - ‼️ This was also the first time I had this. The aroma is gorgeous and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced. I thought that ayu (sweetfish) was the ultimate in dryness, but it was easy to drink and I liked it.

Japanese>English

My first ayu masamune! I've never had it before 💡. Refreshing, refreshing, and oicy ❕. It was delicious!

Japanese>English

Junmai Ginjo. It is so mellow that the aroma of ayu fish seems to come back after drinking it with ayu fish kamameshi. The aroma of the sake and the aroma of the ayu fish were in perfect harmony.

This is the end of the New Year's sake. This is the most beautiful dry sake. The acidity is zero❗️. It is made by the taste of rice and bitterness.

Japanese>English

I was looking at the moon and it got cold... 😋. The flavor precedes the taste, but the bitterness soon rushes in.

Japanese>English

The alcohol content is 20 degrees. It is very strong. The sourness spreads and there is a faint umami taste. We hope to see you again this year.

It's not Soujitchantan 😙. According to the explanation of the department store staff, the rice is Sakonishiki. It has a unique and distinctive aroma like herbs. It has a fresh and crisp taste. Finishes with a tangy bitterness. I don't know if it is a summer sake or not, but it has a refreshing taste and is suitable for summer. I tasted and bought it on the same day as Kessen Sekigahara and Aoi Tenga, but Soumai was the only one that gave me the same impression when I tasted it and drank it at home 🤔. What a relief😅

Japanese>English

Sake that my father bought. It seems to have a good flavor?

Japanese>English

Personally, I did not like the taste. I am still not clear on how to describe the taste of sake because I have not studied it enough. Looking at the keywords in the description, I can handle [dry] and [fruity]. I am not good at [sourness].

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka⑤. The booth of "Kaze no Sato" in Ehime. After suffering tremendous damage from the torrential rains in western Japan in 2018, the brewery decided to revive itself with the support of local people, fellow members of the sake brewers association, and volunteers. The brewery has recovered through crowdfunding and other means, and this one is also not to be found in the Kansai region. Junmai ◉ Junmai The aroma is a bit peculiar. It may be an off-flavor. The flavor is firm and a bit nutty. They say it is recommended to be heated. Junmai Ginjo Not too much sweetness and umami, but a mild acidity. Junmai Daiginjo Uzu The aroma is a little subdued, and the sweetness and umami are refreshing, the type of sake that goes well with river fish. Junmai Ginjo-shu Sakurahime A junmai ginjo-shu brewed with Sakurahime yeast. It has a clear, sweet and umami taste with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. When I told him that Sakurahime yeast is not cherry blossom, he said yes, it is a flower called delphinium. The Ehime booth was set up by the sake brewers' association, and everyone was wearing the same shirt, light pink vest and pants, which bouken-san said looked like Junrei.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food from Shikoku - (5) Ehime Prefecture from here Sake brewery severely damaged by torrential rain in western Japan. They have made a comeback thanks to crowdfunding and support from many people! There are no distributors in Kansai, but there are some restaurants that deal directly with the brewery. We drank Kaze no Sato Junmai-shu Matsuyama Mitsui Polishing ratio 60%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +7 I thought it would be a classic type of sake, but it's quite modern. Rice flavor and a bit of fruitiness. The taste itself is nice, but there is something strange about it... Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, EK-3 yeast, Sake meter value +6 A juicy sake with a firm sweetness. A little pineapple 🍍. The most delicious 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Usu Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +8 It was refreshing and gorgeous, but delicious! It had a berry-like flavor. All of the breweries here have high sake strength, but it didn't feel too spicy. Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sakura hime Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake strength -4 Sakura hime yeast "Type2 Clear" is used. Slightly floral. Refreshing sweetness.

☀️ This is the first brand of sake from Ehime. There are glimpses of rice floating around 🌾. The ori is sturdy and doesn't seem to dissolve fully🤔. There is no sweetness and the rice flavor is more pronounced 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾. In addition to the nigori, the rice is dissolved to the point of being sludgy, but thanks to the microcarbonation, it passes down the throat better🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧. I took the opportunity to order a gibier that I don't usually eat called "ginger roasted wild boar🐗" and got the most delicious meat🥩 with a mix of the sweetness of the ginger, the flavor of the rice and the bitter after taste😋.

It is a local sake, but I first heard about it through "Sake-no-wa" and bought it at a sake store in the northern part of the prefecture. My daughter bought it at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station a couple of times before she got married. Strangely enough, I could not remember any other person's sake. 　It has a fruity aroma and taste like peaches, with a nice sharp aftertaste. (Mrs. Fujinami's impression) 　It was too rich for me and I did not understand it well. It became easier to drink when I tried it on the rocks.

Summer version of hode nasu 🍆. First time I've ever purchased summer ✨. It's completely different from the winter version, crispy 😳 almost no acidity! I prepared a steak with the winter flavor, but I ate it with yesterday's leftover mansaku and ate the hode nasu with edamame and cucumbers 😅. Hode nasu in summer is more like sushi or pickles than meat 🤔.

Japanese>English

Here we go! Hode Nasu! The label depicts an eggplant, as is typical of summer sake. It is shipped twice a year, in summer and winter, and the number of shipments is limited, so there must be many locals who do not know about it. While there are many low-alcohol summer sakes, this one has 16% alcohol content, so it is a great value for money. It is a dry sake that does not have much of a topping aroma, but when you drink it, you will find it to be refreshingly dry. It is clearly tailored to make a clear distinction from the sweet and sour of the winter model. For a sake that is dry at the entrance, it was a delicious sake with a strong umami taste afterward. Don't abuse me, sake words without permission. 〜At my age, I realize how much I have to learn... Thank you for the sake!

It was a gift from an acquaintance 🍶. This is the second bottle of a two-bottle set. 300ml 📌 ¥Unknown Thank you very much 💕 Here is the rice! I'll have it cold today. The aroma is fruity. The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink 😁😁The sweetness of the rice comes through but you can also taste the umami 💕. It is a very good sake that is easy to drink and refreshing even when drunk by itself💕💕💕💕 Thanks to my acquaintance 😁.

Japanese>English

I hadn't had Tokushima sake yet, so I bought some at an antenna store in Yurakucho when I went to Ginza last week 😀. It's safe to say that the first time you drink a brand you've never tried before, you can try it out in a single bottle 😁. The aroma is subtle but apple ✨. It has a refreshing taste. The gentle sweetness is followed by a full flavor! The acidity is refreshing and delicious 😍. I would drink this sake again if I could find it 😊.

It is more than dry, but has a strong taste with a sharp aftertaste. It is delicious.

There was one that caught my eye, so I had a glass. It was a good, refreshing sake, which I didn't think was a honjozo. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Ibigawa! We received this from kino.✨ Thank you kino. for everything 🙇‍♂️ First of all, cold sake! Sweet and delicious! Alcoholic taste like Honjozo! Then hot sake The alcoholic taste is mellowed. And the sweetness and umami are amplified. It's so good! ❣️ With yellowtail sashimi from Harunobu in Niigata! It went really well together 😋.

Japanese>English

This was followed by a special junmai sake. Compared to the special honjozo, it seems to have more sweetness and acidity... The bitterness at the end is unique to the special junmai. Personally, I prefer the special junmai? In any case, they were two delicious bottles.

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.
