20240427 Stable deliciousness(*^^*)Sweet and tasty slight bubbles 🍶. This is definitely delicious! Thank you very much!

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 👍

Next, we open a bottle of "Izutsucho"! When the bottle is opened, there is not much of an aroma, but there is a coffee-like aroma, such as café au lait, that can be detected. The palate is light, but the taste is milky and milky. There is also a bitter and astringent taste, which gives the sensation of drinking a green tea latte 🍵. THE caffeinated beverage! This is so addictive👍

Japanese>English

Today is Izutsucho. Nagano was given to me as a mid-year gift from someone in Saku ✨. I wonder what it smells like, fruity aroma -> sharpness -> soft sweetness -> alcohol bitterness -> full lingering taste. Delicious. Made in March 2012, shipped in June 2013, it takes a long time. According to the official description, "This is our brewery's best sake, carefully polished with Miyamanishiki and Kinmonnishiki rice produced in Nagano Prefecture and brewed slowly during the harsh winter season, based on the concept of a Daiginjo that is unique to Nagano without relying on high-grade sake rice produced in other prefectures. It is a daiginjo that is not flashy, but has a pleasant ginkoku (gin aroma) and a refined, full-bodied sweetness." Thank you very much for your kindness!

Japanese>English

On a trip to Nagano, I compared six different kinds of sake at a place on the Nakamise street of Zenkoji temple. The aroma is mellow and the taste is robust.

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 😆.

Brewed by Endo Sake Brewery in Suzaka, Nagano Domuroku Keiryuu Activated Nama Shu Junmai This sake is new to me. When I tried it, I found it to be foul tasting (@_@). Among all the nigoris I've ever had, this is definitely the best, It is definitely the best nigori I have ever had 😋😋😋😋😋😋. It's a heaven of sludge and shuwa shuwa 😂😂. Why didn't I know about this sake? I wonder why I've lived until now without knowing about this sake 😂😂. I regret it today 😭😭😭

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!

Homecoming Series 13 Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture is home to Shiina Sake Brewery's Fukushin. It is a pure Ibaraki local sake made from 100% Hitanishiki produced in the prefecture! The specs are a special junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 55%. While the aroma is subdued, the taste is a robust sake that hits the right notes of rice! The aroma has nuances of young melon and white bean flour, the acidity is not strong, and the taste is easy to drink with a medium attack and a slightly long finish. For my taste, it is my favorite type. It is too hot to warm up today, but I will add my comments on heated sake later.

Japanese>English

Tomikushin's summer sake, which was absent last year due to lack of Miyamanishiki This year's resurrection is a special junmai, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with Hitanishiki Ogawa yeast instead of Miyamanishiki. Soft and gentle taste and aroma. It has a good ripeness and full-bodied flavor. It has a cocoa flavor that is somehow delicious! It is easy to drink and has no curdle. I heard that this year, they tried to use Ogawa yeast for the sake competition and missed out on a prize, but I hope they keep trying!

Japanese>English

The taste is not sharp in a good sense, and the throat is smooth. I think it has a subtle fruity flavor that makes it easy to drink.

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.

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!

Japanese>English

I drank it at a tasting and bought it because it tasted better than the sake labeled by Machida Sake Brewery. It is high quality for about 1,500 yen. It seems they use a sake rice called Maikaze, but they don't know if they will be able to produce it next year. I hope they will sell it again next year...
