Hakurei was sold in the bargain section at the supermarket. I bought it by accident. It tasted clean and dry. It was a good purchase.

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

In the mouth, sweetness and sourness spread at once. Is it sweet? I thought so, but there is a slight bitterness at the end... How can this taste be produced with only rice? Sake is a mystery.

The third drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was Gizaemon Natsu-damon, which I had during a break in the drinking Shinsei. This is another summer sake from my favorite Mie sake that I was very curious about. The aroma is not so strong. It has an energetic taste with a tingling sensation when you put it in your mouth. It was a very tasty sake with a good balance of refreshing sweetness and bitterness ✨.

This is Gizaemon Junmai Daiginjo Autumn Damon. The aroma is mild, but it smells like Muscat in the mouth. It has a good acidity and a mellow taste, and is a delicious sake. It is better to drink it not too cold.

The Last Five Cups of Tsu Night I think I have posted this before, When I think of Gizaemon, I have an image of a black label. It is a dark sake with a mellow mouthfeel, but with a strong umami flavor. It has a stable flavor. ❗️ I enjoyed Mie sake...thank you!

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

No.12, Makiki. This Kyuneki dry sake was from the famous Takachiyo Brewery 😳. I had no idea 💦. When I tried it, oh my! Nice sake✨! Sharpened and clear, followed by umami and dryness 💪. Light but powerful 💪. Goes well with fish 🐟.

GW has been too hot. It's over 30 degrees Celsius again today 😱. So, I wanted to drink a crisp sake, so I opened a bottle. I wanted to try Makiki. If Takachiyo is good, Makiki must be good too, right? Yes, it is good. It has an apple aroma and a bit tangy. It's a refreshing adult cider-like sake with a moderate sweetness. It is a perfect drink for when the weather is getting hotter.

🏠Drinking 🏠๑🍶🍶💕 I need to upload gradually or I'll be full of empty bottles💦💦💦. Easy cup of sake 🍶. Taste... A little heavy on its own. It's somewhere between traditional sake and modern 🤔. If you pair it with shime saba (wasabi), the acidity increases and it becomes easier to drink 😊.

I thought it would be a light nigori, sweet type of sake, but it turned out to be a crisp, dry sake. It is a refreshingly clear type of nigori sake with a slight gaseous taste that can be drunk smoothly and refreshingly.

*Excuse my consecutive postings. There are up to 9. Standing drink from Monday ⑥. It had a sweet deliciousness that is typical of Omachi. I don't remember by now😅.

Every year I look forward to the Risshun morning pressing... this year, I'm going to enjoy a bottle of TENRANZAN! When the bottle is opened, it has a pleasant fruity aroma...freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, and fresh because it is freshly pressed...the balance of sweet and bitter is unstable, with a certain sharpness...but the aftertaste is crisp! Delicious!

It has a fresh taste and the alcohol and presence that only original sake can provide.

At the beginning of the New Year, I enjoy the local sake 🍶Tenranzan Hatsu Shibori (first pressing), which I received as a gift, and since it is an ale-added, honjozo sake, it is more of a food sake than a straight sake...fresh as it is raw...my favorite horse sashimi and oseki (New Year) as a snack.... Enjoying the New Year's Day with my favorite horse sashimi and oshibushi....

Nara's summer sake❣️ This is a summer version of Hyakurakumon, a famous sake of Gosho along with Kaze no Mori and Shinomine, made with rice outside the standard range and labeled on the back 😋. It looks cool and smells like melon 🍈. Refreshing, mellow, mildly dry ❣️. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink 😋😋. It's a jungin spec, but at 1,300 yen for a four-pack, it's easy on the wallet 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 🙏.

This doburoku is made to order. I pre-ordered it at the end of August through a guide from my favorite liquor store, and it has arrived. It's my first doburoku! The sweet and sour Awaraku in the photo expresses it all. It tastes like sweet sake with the texture of petite rice and the sizzling cider-like carbonation you feel when you crush it, making it a refreshing, mouth-watering drink. It's adjusted to 5% alc:5% and goes down swiftly. It's no longer a dessert!

My impression is that this sake has a fresh, blue feeling among the Takezumi brands. It also has a grassy feel. It has a powerful wildness. It conveys a strength that seems to be unaffected even if it is laid down to rest.

Is this Takezumi's first low-alcohol original sake? It seems to be. The aroma is a bit aged, but there is a sourness and a light gassy feeling. It is claimed to be dry, but the low alcohol content and the aforementioned characteristics make it easy to drink. It also has a fruity taste in the mouth for a moment.
