Japanese>English

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

🥂 Fresh and gorgeous aroma 😌. Umami and acidity harmoniously spread in the mouth 🤤. It was a very delicious junmai namaishu 👍

For a mellow aroma, Fruity sweetness. Compared to "Daishinshu", It has a clean aftertaste, It has a more refined taste.

Limited brand of Daishinshu: 🇯🇵 Buy it during your pilgrimage to the Holy Land✨. Only about 10 dealers carry this brand. You can find anything in the Holy Land........ 🤣. The ginjo aroma is green apple 🍏. It's been a long time since I've had a Daishinshu, but we share the same aroma 😤. I wonder if the sake rice is Hitogokochi or Miyamanishiki? (→ later I checked and it was Hitogochiki 😳) The balance of sweetness and umami, and then acidity to finish is perfect🤣.

We will help with the harvest at an acquaintance's mandarin 🍊 field in the afternoon. Then we have a barbecue in the garage for dinner. We buy a bottle of Domuroku at Tsuruya, which we have been wanting to drink for a long time. It's a little bit sweet and smooth. It's delicious. It was gone in no time 😆.

This is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place. According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki. The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite. Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔. I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself?

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a very crisp, dry, deep-flavored Ajiginjo. The aroma is subtle. The mellowness is more apparent in junmai sake. This is also a good sake. I drank 8 glasses this time and they were all good! There are so many good sake that I can't keep up with them all! It's a happy scream!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Slightly pear-like aroma. It has a light shwashiness, and the sweetness is refreshing and light. Is it a summer sake? The umami is also crisp and clean. This is good!

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka Ibaraki Prefecture Booth ③. Based on the philosophy of brewing sake that is loved by the local community in Hitachi City, the sake is consumed mainly in the local area of Hitachi City and the northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture. Ultra-soft water from the premises is the brewing water. ◉Fukushin Jun The sake is rich and has a strong sweetness. It has a strong sweetness and a slightly sticky sweetness. It has a unique and slightly peculiar taste. Slightly rustic. I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed it from bouken.

National Sake Fair 202511 Ibaraki Prefecture ② Fukushin Jun Junmai Sake Shiina Sake Brewery in Hitachi City I've heard of this sake but never seen it in Kansai. I'm not mistaking it for something like FUKUNISHIKI or FUKUMUSUMO. According to their official website, they have a distributor in Tokyo, and it seems that they also have a wholesaler distributing their sake. Domestic rice, 65% polished rice ratio 15.3 degrees Sake degree +4 Acidity 1.6 Amino Acidity 1.6, Amino Acidity 1.3, No. 9 & No. 10 yeast used It had a complex and unique flavor 😋. The president of Kondo Sake Brewery, which brews Ehime's Hana Hime Sakura and Mikan de Sake, came to the Ibaraki booth and drank Urasato, saying he came because he heard it was delicious 😁. I got the impression from the venue that it was also a meet and greet between sake breweries from different regions. At other events, the general public and related parties are separated, but this time there were a lot of people from restaurants and liquor stores because it was a combined event.

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

Japanese>English

This is a limited edition sake from the brewery open house held during Golden Week. I can't help but buy the limited edition sake. 💦. Well, this sake is made with Yamadanishiki from Hida and is a modern fruity sake. I guess it tastes more like first green than traditional Okuhida. It's delicious and super likable. 😋😋😋😋😋 The weather was perfect that day and it was great to drink sake with friends while surrounded by fresh greenery. 👍

Immediately after opening the bottle, it was dry and dry, perhaps due to the 17% alcohol content. Then, after leaving it in the refrigerator for about 5 days due to a business trip, the taste changed drastically! There is almost no aroma, but it has turned into a crisp, sweet and delicious sake. There are not many sakes that have changed in taste like this.

Japanese>English

I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again. Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears. The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage! Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced. The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending! The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring. It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!

Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Japanese>English

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.
