Aged wine😳 It has a strong sour taste and the image is... drinkable black vinegar😅 I have a review of this precious sake that I carefully nurtured. ⬆️(*_ _)sorry people! I hear a lot about growing it for years. I can't wait this long myself, so it's a valuable experience 😌.

Good evening! Today is also from the past history. This is another drink at Gin Kura, a sake bar. The first sour sake I ever drank, Shinmasa. The first time I drank a sour sake, Shinmasa, was when I sat down at the counter. No, all I remember is that it was really good. #Gin Kura Sake Bar

　　　Yamayu released a year ago, this is 😱! It's so unique that you can only drink it while licking salt from a Masu box. I can't stand the smell of wood. 🥺 Well, is this a learning experience?　I'm not sure if I'll like it when I get used to it.

The aroma is gorgeous. The mouthfeel is moderately sweet with a hint of sweetness that does not linger. The pungency of the alcohol is soft and the acidity is moderate. The aftertaste is like water. Alcohol 15%. Sake degree +3 Acidity low Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Japanese>English

Purchased at a liquor store Purchased during a tour of Kitakyushu liquor stores about 3 months ago Oike Sake Shop in Tobata Besides Fukuoka sake, they also have other sake such as Nozomu, Senzuke, Gohashi, Kirinzan, etc. They had Shoryu Horai, which is not so common in Fukuoka. I chose Yumetenshin, a collaboration sake. Slightly chilled Moderate aroma Smooth mouthfeel No sweetness peculiar to soaked sake. However, there is a moderate rummy sweetness. The sweetness may become slightly addictive as you drink it. It tastes more like Saga sake than Fukuoka sake. It goes well with Japanese dishes and dishes with soy sauce. It goes well with motsu nabe (hot pot).

Chiyoroku given to me by a friend. It's my first time 🙌 It's a junmai daiginjo, but it's so refreshing and easy to drink 😆. It has a moderate sweetness and a slight bitterness with a nice sharpness. The alcohol content is 16%, but you don't feel it at all😅. It was a very light summer sake 😆.

Rice used: Miyamanishiki and Gin-san It has a white wine taste and a crisp, tight flavor. It is best when chilled. It is unique and went well with cream cheese ❗️.

Hitoki Junmai The aroma is not that strong. It has a fruity, pale yellowish flavor. When you sip it, the fruity sweetness comes on at once. It has a pleasant light, fruity sweetness. It has the so-called "Mio-like" taste, but it is much more like a fruit wine, with a sweetness like dessert wine. It is very delicious. You can drink it by itself.

I stopped by the brewery for the first time in a while. I used to have a special fire-brewed junmai and a sake called "Mariko no shu" which is named after the female toji (master brewer?). Both were quite dry, classical sake. Both were quite dry classical sake, and I had the impression, for better or worse, that this is what local sake is supposed to be like. This was probably my first nigori sake, but it looked delicious, so I bought some! I wondered if the beautiful woman at the sales counter was Mariko herself? It has a classical aroma with a banana feel. It is more of a hint than a standing aroma. It has a classical taste and is dry, but you can drink it by itself if you want! It is very easy to drink because it has a lot of turbidity, which gives it a strong umami flavor and makes it easy to taste the sweetness. I drank it with kimchi nabe (kimchi stew), and I think it goes well with strong flavors and nabe dishes! It also seems to go well with meat, and I am sure it would go well with ginger-grilled pork or chicken steak. I imagine it is like Kikuhime nigori or Tamagawa nigori! To be honest, I think it's one of the best in the Koshu Plum Grove, so I'd be happy to buy a bottle and drink it slowly. It can probably be stored at room temperature until early spring.

Japanese>English

I had decided on Mariko's Sake for my first visit to Saitama. The Sato Sake Brewery is run by Mariko Sato, the toji of the brewery. There is almost no alcohol taste, and the spiciness comes later with more umami. It is sweet and umami, but the spiciness lingers a little.

When I go to this liquor store, I can't stop looking at different things. There are both hi-seasoned and draft Morishima's Omachi and Yamadanishiki, and there are several Nozomis... In the end, I narrowed it down to one bottle and chose this one. This is the first time I drink Koshinohomare at home. As for the rice, some stores say they use Takananishiki and others say Koshikagura, but which is it? Fresh, gassy and fruity. Juicy, like apple or pineapple. I was surprised at how delicious it was.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and flavorful. There is a sweetness followed by the tartness of grapefruit. There is also a hint of banana. The acidity gives this a short and clean finish. Brilliant! 😁

Junmai-Ginjo sake with 50% polishing ratio This sake is brewed by blending Kyokai 1801 and the original ginjo yeast, Kyokai 901. It has a fruity, gorgeous aroma and a pleasant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Delicious! The label is said to have been designed with a snowflake "Grandpa Sujimaki" of the famous mountain, Yoneyama, which announces the rice planting season in Kashiwazaki, on a label with a texture of textiles associated with the hemp and silk textiles that are famous in Echigo. Stylish!

Firm schwa, pizzazz. Like a sparkling wine. Soft on the palate. Fresh acidity. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees. In a four-pack bottle, it's already a full bottle.

Japanese>English

I enjoyed the innocent classic so I bought it with the intention of repeating it. Smells like lactic acid, baby formula, and uncut melon. The melon is well felt through the uninspired mouthfeel, then the shriveled, cold sweet and sour fruitiness, all gone by the time you swallow and a little astringent. Overall, refreshing. Delicious. Sweeter than Haribo. Day 3. Smells like cider. Rich fruitiness in the mouth, thin melon, pineapple? Banana? Apricot? Fruity-sourness swells, then squeezes and hydrates.

Japanese>English

Delicious and a repeat purchase! Lactic acidity, alcohol, slight grape smell. The taste is melting. Syrupy, juice-like sweet and sour, woody flavors all seem to disappear without being too sharp, leaving a lingering aftertaste after licking the candy. A little bitterness at different times. When the temperature rises, it is quite sweet. It is easy to drink at lower temperatures with a beautiful feeling. It's good. After 4 days. Amazing nectariness. Dense fruit syrup. I think I was surprised how good it tasted after some time before.

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. It was not that spicy and easy to drink. It was different from the image I had in my mind. As the pop-up says, it is also surprisingly gorgeous. I guess because Tenryaka is made from organically grown rice, you can find it in natural food stores. The regular Amataka is particularly dry, and the organic series doesn't seem to be that dry.

Japanese>English

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. Nemuchi was hesitant to drink Tenryaka because it was dry, so I encouraged him to try Kuho Series, saying it was fruity. I have been avoiding Tenryaku until now. I was surprised to find that the sparingly spiced Kuo series is not spicy but rather sweet and delicious. I'm sorry I've been avoiding this sparring even if I saw it at a liquor store.
