ᐠ( ᐢᐢ )ᐟ🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Tenjo Yumegen today 😋. Can't really detect the aroma after opening the bottle 🤔. When I drink it, I can feel the smooth mouthfeel😊Gentle umami of rice🌾😘The acidity and umami in the aftertaste are well balanced and soft 😚. I felt it was the best sake for a meal 🥳.

A reminder of 8/7 🍶. Drop in for a drink at work - ⤴️✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Shishimai Fuunroku Part 3 The next point of rest and ga-in is Tenjo Yumegen This label commemorates the 100th anniversary of Maruka Kensetsu, located in the same area as Nakayu Sake Brewery. The contents are probably the same as the regular Tokujun, but it is only at local festivals that this kind of sake is served as a sacred sake. However, I am not sure if this label is "Yamato" or "Taiwa". It has been a long time since I have tasted Tenjo Mugen, and while it has a dry base, it is slightly sweet, has a strong umami flavor, and has a nice acidity and bitterness. Once again, I realize that it is a local sake. Thank you very much!

Summer sake already. I know it's a seasonal bug, but isn't it too early for seasonal products too? It is crisp. It has a nice sharpness. It's like summer sake. Personally, I prefer it a little livelier.

Special Junmai-shu with 60% polished rice ratio This sake is brewed by the method called "Jusui-Jikomi". When poured into a glass, there is a strong ginjo aroma at first. When you take a sip, it is mellow and full. It is full of umami and sweetness, and has a rich taste. It's a flavor that will knock your socks off! This is a limited version of "Tokusui Junmai-shu". The sake is bottled and sealed as soon as possible after bottling, so it can only be tasted at the mouth of the tank. It is said to be a rare gem with a limited distribution. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

This Sake is nice and fruity with a grape flavor. There is a light mouth feel with a clean finish. It has a great flavor balance that goes well with any food. Yummy!

A party with my daughter and her husband and grandchildren ❤️The second bottle is going to be wdwd! I bought it at the usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about the whole thing. 📌720ml ¥1,595 I'll be back! This is the first time I've drunk 90% of the shavings. There is a bite to it. Is the aroma fruity? I'm not sure, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great beer. It has a unique aroma that comes through the nose. It has its own character and you may not like it as much as you like it. It's a bit like doburoku, but it's easy to drink. I think it will become a habit when I get used to it😊👍 I think I know what it feels like to drink mindfully. Sake is interesting. It's good to challenge the sake you like once in a while✌️.

Japanese>English

At a store that sells naturally grown food, I found a slightly unusual colored sake and picked it up. The bottle was opened with caution, but I opened it without incident😅. It was quite sweet and sour, low in alcohol and easy to drink. I think it's more like plum wine or apricot wine than sake.

Sake drinking party with company people 🍶 Soba noodle shop? I brought my own sake to the restaurant. We also deposited Yuma, a souvenir from Fukuoka. I'll leave the evaluation to the Kyushu people, but all the participants were oohing and ahhing. Where can I buy it?" I was asked where I got the information, but I kept my mouth shut about Sake-no-wa.

Japanese>English

Tonight, in our first series, we have Yuma, brewed by Shichiyou Shuzo from Fukuoka Prefecture✨. The specs are: 100% Yamadanishiki, 60% polished rice, 13% alcohol. The sake is light cloudy and a bit thick. The aroma and taste is easy to drink with sweetness and sourness of white peach🍑😋😋😋 with a clean aftertaste, this is going to be very popular🤗.

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

Japanese>English

It's very drinkable: ‼️ High alcohol content but It is fresh and has a strong umami and a lingering finish. Strong and lingering flavor❣️ Personally, I think it's like Aizu sake 😅

Japanese>English

fresh The aroma is reminiscent of fresh green bamboo. The refreshing mouthfeel is followed by a mild sweet and sour taste. The refreshing green apple-like overtone rises, followed by a tangy, spicy finish. It has an interesting flavor with unique overtones. The freshness is worthy of the name "Seishun. ★★★★★

The last sake we had at Kyoto Stand Kiyo Kiyo was "Toyoyo Junmai Dry Musou" by Mukai Shuzo, also from the Tango region. The rough and powerful label may represent the fishing scene in this area. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami flavor and the aroma of rice is crisp and full. Even though it is called "Dry Musou", it has a hint of sweetness, which makes it a delicious cup. It has been a long time since I have had a good drink, and the best part of drinking outside by myself is that I can drink slowly while considering what to drink and what snacks to go with it, while keeping an eye on my pocketbook. I returned home refreshed both mentally and physically. From next time, I will introduce some of the sakes I took at the beginning of the year!

1853 2024/9 Kyo no Haru Junmai Nama Nigori Sake 67% 17° 24/8 A Ine-cho, Kyoto 720 1945 The bottle was warned to be opened with caution, but there was no fizziness at all, and the lees did not move even slightly. The first thing I did was to pour the clear sake into a cup, and even there I did not feel any fizz. But the taste is quite refreshing and delicious. After the second glass, I mixed the lees with the nigoromi (nigori)... Perhaps because the lees is so thick (about a quarter of the lees in stillness), the sake was a little heavy, beyond soft. It might be exquisite if gas were involved...but I kept on drinking. I had the impression that if there was a sense of effervescence... if there was no effervescence, the clear sake would be better.... On the second day, I had the clear sake and light nigori. Since I was enjoying Ine-Manbaike at the same time, I thought it would be good if they were from the same brewery, so I combined the remaining lees with Ine-Manbaike and enjoyed it as a mellow pink sake.

Today, my wife and son bought some Hakuryu Nigori👍 at a nearby Aeon. Thanks for telling me that you saw Hakuryu nigori sake with a warning sign on it so you bought it for me ❣️ I've been drinking beer and shochu on the days we don't have sake at home, but it doesn't suit my constitution or something 😅I wake up at least 3 times during the night and rush to the bathroom 🤔❓I'm still not sure if it's the amount of sake I drink or the fact that it's alcoholic or not 🤔❓ Well then, open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is lactic acid with a hint of alcohol. The taste is also lactic acidic with a strong carbonation 👍It has 18% alcohol by volume so if I finish it, I will get very drunk 🤣. I'd recommend it more as a standalone drink than as a food drink 😆.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, light and dry nigori sake. It's been a while since I've had a Shiryu from Niigata, but I get the impression that they make a good value for money Ginjo-shu. Chilled tofu with "leek and ginger", which I got because I was curious about it from Supoyo's post.

Japanese>English

I'm going to post some more pictures today😅. Made entirely from Echigo Gohyakumangoku and brewed with wine yeast. I thought it would be stylish✨. It's a sweet white wine style. I'm sure you'll love it!

(Holy shit!!!🍶🍶🍶🍶 The last day of GW in no time 😭 To close out the holiday, we opened a bottle of our local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😀 It is a recovery sake brewed by Yukawa Sake Brewery 😊WOM gave us the information and we were able to purchase it 🙏. Nice fruit-like aroma typical of Okunoto's Shirakiku😊Elegant sweetness and umami are as delicious as before 😚👍Gentle acidity spreads slowly and disappears with a clean aftertaste✨. It's still the same delicious sake that is typical of Okunoto Shirakiku 🥳.

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku today 😀. The bottle was opened with a high pitched jupon💕 The aroma is mild, but the mouthfeel is clean and dry 🤔The sweetness comes out slowly and gently 😊The aftertaste is gentle and acidic 😚👍. The raw sake was a little harsh, but it has matured and become mellow😇Shirakiku is still a delicious sake 🥳.

(((((*´sigh*))))🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got some local Ishikawa white chrysanthemum 😀. We traveled by car to Yamagata and Akita prefectures for the holiday weekend. I just came home and was going to drink the sake I bought, but I had to take a break with the local sake 😙. The aroma is mild 😚 and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the banana and the rice flavor 😘 the gusto and the delicious acidity swells up in your mouth and disappears quickly 🥰. Shirakiku from Okunoto with concentrated umami There is also a delicious local sake 💕

The rice is Hitogokochi. The top aroma is gentle but sweet. It is sweet and delicious, but reserved and calm. It is apple-like. Compared to Miyamanishiki and Yamane Nishiki, which we have drunk so far, it has a calm atmosphere. When drinking it again, the aroma is gentle, but the taste is sweet and delicious.

Hana of Tsukiyoshino Unfiltered Nama Sake 720ml 100% Hitogochiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 15%. Purchased at Hara's in Ueda on Saturday. With amazake, of course. It is a gorgeous spring-like sake with a more mellow sweet taste. On Saturday, we went from Tateshina to the Ueda Castle beyond the ski resort. It was already starting to change colors. The parking lot was full. We had lunch at a buckwheat noodle restaurant in Sakaki Town on the way to Chikuma. We never had a bad experience at any soba restaurant.
