At home. I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. The first bottle I opened this year was Suzukagawa from the same brewery as Saku, which I got at the end of the year. The aroma, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in the mouth are very similar. It wasn't as impressive as the Saku, but it was a delicious gem. At the end of the year, I mainly drank the same brands, but now that the year has started, I would like to try more and more new ones that I have never tasted before. This Suzukagawa is the first step, and I hope it will be a good start. I would like to continue my efforts to develop new sake.

Japanese>English

I was going to buy Junmai from Suzukagawa, but they had a new sake, so I decided to buy this one 😊. Aroma with a beautiful atmosphere. It has a calm freshness and a firm sweetness. Saku's new sake is delicious, but Suzukagawa is also good 😋.

Japanese>English

Aru-soke Ginjo class, which is not found in "Saku". Fruity flavor and a light mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly. It is not only light, but also has a well-defined taste. It is excellent as a food wine and goes well with everything. My partner, who loves "Saku", drank it at a high pace.

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

I knew I bought the normal one at Lawson's too😆. If you look closely, you can see the r in Summer is capitalized. Yopa Memo_φ(____) Spicy cider Good sharpness Seems to go well with oily food I think it's possible to have it when it gets cold, like ice cream with a kotatsu (a table over a kotatsu), and then have it at a nabe (hot pot). But then again, this amount might not be enough... It was delicious 😋😋😋.

My first time at Hanaizumi. And nigori sake! This season, there are a variety of nigori sake, which is very enjoyable. First, the top clear sake. It is moderately sour. After stirring it, it becomes more rounded. The texture is silky (is that the right word?). The glutinous rice is not perceived, though I like rice cakes. I like rice cakes, but I think it's dry. I want to eat Karami rice cake.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will return to Nigori Sake Road and open this bottle 💁. Hanaizumi Jungin Akkatsu Nigorizake 2023BY ✨✨✨✨ It was active, but since it had been absent for a while, it was easy to open the bottle. As usual, we will drink only the top clearings first. It's a bit of lactic acidity, a bit gassy on the tongue, and a nice dry finish 😋😋😋😋😋 After mixing the lees, it's a round adult calpis soda🥤 and it doesn't stop there. I'm still going to enjoy nigori sake 🙌

It has a rich and full flavor, but yet it cuts cleanly. The sake level is +2, but The acidity of 1.8 is effective. It is easy to match with meat dishes.

Limited to direct pumping for reservation purchase. It has a fruity sweetness reminiscent of apples. It has a fruity sweetness reminiscent of apples with a firm finish. Although the alcohol content is high at 17 It is a versatile all-around dining sake that will make your cup of sake go down a treat.

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Japanese>English

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

My first Kurosawa. Just after opening the bottle, the cork blew up to the ceiling. When you pour it, it fires strongly. When you drink it, it is refreshing like a carbonated drink. Immediately afterwards, a strong flavor and a strong alcohol feeling rushes in. There is no sweetness, and the mellowness of the umami and nigori is addictive. It is a very delicious sake. It will be a repeat customer.

Japanese>English

Shinshu Sake Month without my permission 😆 Here's today's partner for the hard table: ‼️ First Kurosawa ‼️ Oh, is it déjà vu for yesterday's Masumi 🤣. It has the same sour taste! Is this sourness a fad? Well, it's great for eating in 👍It goes well with meat too, so I enjoyed it with both the minced pork cutlet and chicken cutlet as usual 😋. Here's a sip of Shinanotsuru Stubborn! Gentle sweetness 😋 and lingering ❤️ Oh, you can't beat Gantaku 🤣Shinanotsuru is strong: ‼️

Japanese>English

Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai drinking comparison: ‼️ Kurosawa: ‼️ We started with the Gold Course Taregara-mi blend alsobe. Apparently it's a blend of 4 different types of sake. Oden with a side of oden It's a dangerous sake with a gentle sweetness that is typical of Shinshu sake and a bitter and astringent taste that will keep you going 😆. I would drink this one all the time if we compare 😅

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.

Japanese>English

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!

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.
