Kansai Salmon Wagura Gathering (10) The off-line meeting is now in its final stages, and my memory is getting a bit fuzzy about moving seats and other things, so I thought I'd close by uploading two of the notes that were left behind. Takaji Prototype Unfiltered Nama Sake Aroma of rice with a hint of sweetness, fruity sweetness on the palate, and a pleasant aftertaste. I am a fan of robot anime because of my job and the word "prototype" 🤣. This is my first time to drink "Tagaji" written in hiragana 😋.

Japanese>English

The meeting with Mr. Gula ⑬ I've had 18-mori before, but this is my first time to drink Tagaji. And it is a test brew of hiragana. It is a gorgeous and quite sweet sake. A little dry and sweet. It must have been gassy when it was freshly opened. It's a blend of several yeasts, with a bit of aromatic yeast.

Japanese>English

Sweet with a graininess. Slightly astringent, reminiscent of white wine, with a slight acidity. It leaves a delicious aftertaste. É It is very drinkable and has an alcohol content of 16%. It is a little heavy, perhaps due to the fact that it is a pure sake. It may be more appealing when paired with a small, tasty snack. It is a draft sake, but it will get even better as the days go by!

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sakeiki Daigo - the best all-you-can-drink course 🔥 No.20 I got Mimuro Sugi recommended by the waitress 😀Last spurt😇. The aroma is like a fresh and crisp rumney 😊 juicy flavor and gentle sweetness 😚Great tasting 🥳.

It is a gift from an acquaintance 🍶I will eat it with my eldest and second son 😊. It is a gift from an acquaintance 📌720ml ¥ gift Here's a quick rice. The aroma is subdued. The color is beautiful. The mouthfeel is refreshing and the sweetness of the rice comes first and the umami comes later 💕Omachi is the best 💕💕💕💕. It is also delicious on its own 👍 It is a very good sake that does not interfere with food💕💕💕 3 guys ran out in no time😅 Thanks to my acquaintance 😊👍 Today's pairing is stir-fried eggplant with miso! They go so well together 😊👍

Japanese>English

This month, I'm going to focus on Nara's local sake since I've been drinking from other prefectures for a while now 😬. The first one is Junmai Ginjo from Mitsumorosugi. This is the first time I've tried the kanji version of Mimuro, but it's calmer than the hiragana version, not too sweet and not too spicy. It lacks impact, but it's well balanced and easy to drink, making it an excellent food sake 😚 I enjoyed it with a side of sardine oil sardine🙏.

Fizzy Acidity Umami Dry Fresh Fruity Bitterness Crisp

It is a sake named after a place in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, where Chiyo Sake Brewery is located. Like Kushira, Gosho is a town with many difficult-to-read place names. For example, Bunze, Iuka, and Saragi. Gosho is a nice and peaceful place nestled in the bosom of the Katsuragi and Kongo mountains. Aburanaga-san of Kaze no Mori is also a sake brewer in Gosho. I guess it's a good place for sake brewing😋. It's been a while since I've had a Kushira, but it's dry and full of rice flavor. It's delicious 😆. I would like everyone to try it along with Chiyo's other brand "Shinomine" 👍.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've chosen Kushira. Delicious 😋

Japanese>English

Shinomine's terroir brand Kushira✨. I bought two kinds of Shinomine's summer sake, so I have no choice but to give you a first look🤣. The aroma is slightly sweet. The aroma is slightly sweet, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a delicious taste of rice and then it snaps! It's also got a good amount of gas, which adds to the sharpness😆. It's an unfiltered unpasteurized sake, but it's quite light✨. I think it's a great food sake that goes well with any Japanese, Western, or Chinese food✨.

I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️. This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️. I'm not sure what to make of it. I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆. I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰 I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )

Japanese>English

Lightly nigori sounds good✨. But surprise, surprise! It's slightly spicy, yellowish, dry, and richly dark😳! This brewery, Okura in Nara, has a unique personality🎵.

Japanese>English

I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record. Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout. It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature. The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.

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!

Japanese>English

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

Japanese>English

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....

Continuing from yesterday, a comparison of the tops of the median that was given to me by Princess Sabori: ‼️ First, the blue label ‼️ This is R3BY It's a Tokushun but with 50% polished rice 🤣. The aroma is like grape 🍇? It has a gentle sweetness and a bitter finish that is also gentle and tasty 😋 I think I prefer it to Araubashiri. Next, I'm going to try the R2BY black label supernatant 👍.

Japanese>English

Forgot to post this😆 Then the R4's. I knew I prefer the taste of this one 😋. I think I like the taste of the one year aged one better 😋 It's mellower or calmer....

Japanese>English

Followed by Origami: ‼️ I took the supernatant before mixing it, and it was not so different from the supernatant before 🤣. No wonder 😆. When I mix it, the flavor is so much better 😋 I would like to repeat this 👍! It's also cosmetically good to buy only the "ogara-mi" and enjoy it twice 😆.

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!

Japanese>English

I was completely captivated by the 126. This time it is in a large size of 1440ml. It is also nice that it comes in a PET bottle with no decoration at all. The bottle was opened while feeling the healthy yeast. Yes, it's really good! It is a super thick, bumpy type of wine. The expression is too harsh, but it is like "drinking yogurt-flavored porridge" (it is delicious, so please do not misunderstand me...). It is low in alcohol and you can drink it up in no time. I still have about half a year to go, but I can't wait for this year's season.

Japanese>English

One of my colleagues recommended that I buy a bottle 🍶126, which he said should be read as doburoku. It has a refreshing sweetness, sourness, and fizz, so it is truly an adult's calpis soda! The rice is still there, so I guess it is a pulp(?) I think it's a Calpis soda with rice 😁. It's 5% alcohol, so there's almost no alcohol taste, and I can't stop drinking it... I'd drink it every day ✨.

Refreshing, crisp, fruity 🌸🍶✨ Mild on the palate🎵 When you hold it in your mouth, it feels crisp on your tongue ✨. When you swallow it, it's sharp and dry at the back of your throat~⤴️😊. The balance between fluffy and crisp is zetsumyo 😆. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

[Buy direct from Chisa Aoki🤩] I bought this bottle from Chisa Aoki, the eldest daughter of the brewery, at a sales event at Ikebukuro Seibu the week before last. It was great to meet a celebrity in the industry 😆. I couldn't taste it because of this time of year, but I was able to smell a few different scents and chose this label as my favorite ✌️. It's a Hitachinishiki Junmai Ginjo aged for almost 2 years at very low temperature, and it's the first label to be sold this year. The aroma is grape 🍇-like, which is the reason why I decided to buy it, and when you put it in your mouth, the beautiful sweetness and full-bodied flavor will fill your mouth. The aftertaste is crisp and spicy with a unique aroma that makes it a fun sake to drink😄. This is a must drink for those who are allergic to aged sake as well as Ousachi ❗❗ I should have bought this in a bottle 😅.

Japanese>English

It's gassy and schwaggy. The aroma is quite fruity. The aroma is quite fruity, and the taste is refreshing, somewhere between dry and sweet. I have the impression that it hits the perfect balance between dry and sweet. The impression of "Gohkei-shiki" has been improved. I can't drink it because I don't usually see it 😅.

My favorite Yamori 😍Yamori has been delicious since New Year's 🍶...Hachitanishiki-like fruity rice with a sweet aroma and a fresh mouthfeel...light and refreshing...then sharp! It doesn't disturb the taste of the Setsume...I can't help but drink too much...YAMORISHIGE is delicious....

Junmai Oragami from my favorite 😘yamori! Personally, I like Hachitan-nishiki...the sweet bitterness of the first swallow...the moderate bitterness and sharpness of the aftertaste...exquisite...delicious...delicious! It's not for beginners, is it? This is good for sake lovers!

Japanese>English

I love "Yamori" (😋)🦎♪ Sweet fruity aroma of rice, sweet taste, good acidity & bitterness....Hachitan Nishiki is exceptional....excellent balance of sweetness, acidity & bitterness, good aftertaste....I think it's a winner in my book! ...It goes well with seasonal firefly squid (🦑) & fresh bonito (🐟) dishes as snacks......it's a "winner" in my opinion....
