Sake 🍶 that came with my accommodation plan on a recent business trip to Fukushima. It's been a while since I had a cup of sake 🍶. I chilled it and it tasted surprisingly sweet and delicious 😋There were some pickles included with the sake, but I forgot to eat them💦. More importantly, I was on a business trip to Fukushima, so I went there to enjoy the local sake, When I went to the sake shop, they didn't have the sake I was looking for 😱. All the good local izakayas were full ⤵︎ I was told that you can't get in without a reservation. Shocked because I couldn't get local sake or seafood 😭. I decided to make a reservation next time!

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. The one that impressed me the most after tasting several kinds of Kunihiki. It is sweet and fruity. It has a sourness like citrus. It is low in alcohol but very drinkable. However, I personally don't like the top flavor. I can't explain it well, but it smells sweet? I can't explain it well, but it smells like a sweet smell. After drinking it, it tastes fine, but I don't like the aroma when I put it close to my nose. It's difficult to describe... It might be quite tasty with meat as it says on the back 🤔.

Faint golden color with a grain aroma. Bitter, astringent, and acidic tastes overlap each other. If you expect the fruity and sweetness of a typical Junmai Daiginjo, you are way off. I drank it cold, but I might try warming it up. The Nishijin textile label is cool❗️.

It is not only sweet. Sweet, a little spicy with a touch of spiciness, acid, drinkable. Well made and named.

Hmmm...it's +10 dry, but I feel the dry finish is very good. It's not too dry and spicy, but it's full of spiciness and delicious flavor. You can enjoy it. It reminds me of ears of rice under the blue sky of Shonai, a rice place.

My first Kamekichi. And my first Marumori-san. Delicious food 😭I love Aomori cuisine! Sake is going fast. The first glass was Toyobai. The first glass was Toyobai, and the second was Kameyoshi! The taste is so unique...! LOL! It has no sweetness at all and tastes like it is being smoked. According to my sister, it is a sake version of highball. (She says it means it doesn't interfere with the meal. lol) I can't say it has no habits, but I can say it does. LOL! It was a strange sake in my opinion!

It has a clear, mellow, and smooth taste reminiscent of 🍎. When chilled, it has a refreshing acidity, and at room temperature it is a deliciously sweet 🍎 taste. It has a refined taste that sinks in easily.

This is my first time at this brewery. I would like to know how many sake named Masamune there are. It is delicious with a strong sake flavor. The label looks like a dairy.

特別純米酒
Hakurei Shuzo often offers VIVID, but this is Koda, made from 100% Tango Yamada Nishiki. A slightly dry sake that goes well with grilled and fried foods. We served it with char-grilled guji (amadai) and kakiage (deep fried corn). Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Alcohol content: 14%. Rice polishing ratio: Sake mother/Koji 60%, Kake rice 70%.

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.

I have a new impression of Ehime sake 😁. I had never had much Ehime sake before, but I had an image of it being somewhat mellow and dry. This sake is completely different, it is light and slightly acidic, and together with the bitterness in the aftertaste, it is somehow like grapefruit 😊. It also has a bit of a fizzy feel and is very easy to drink as there is no unpleasant spiciness that lingers in the throat 😋. If it were a little more sour, I think I would find it too sour for me, but this level of sourness is just right 😄. I'm only one bottle away from the nationwide domination of the four-gouple bottles or more limited edition. The last one is in Osaka, when can I achieve it? 😅

The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.

Whale wave is next. I thought it was your first time in Gifu Prefecture and you got one 😊. The aroma is fresh and fruity by nature, with a slight hint of hineyness, perhaps because the bottle was opened 3 months later. Well-balanced fruity. Almost no acidity. A full-bodied flavor softly appears at the end of the bottle. Although it is a draft sake, it is quite soft and mild. Maybe soft water? 🤔 It is best served cold or chilled. It seems to be difficult to age.

I had always wanted to come to this restaurant, Jyu. It was a nice place. The sake I chose was Dokure, which is labeled as an amazing sake from Kure. At first sip, I felt a slight sourness, but when paired with food, it was very good. As one would expect from a master brewer, he made the sake he wanted to make himself. It is a sake that goes very well with food.
