Sake Future Drinking Continued: ✨️ Brands I had no idea about 😳✨️✨️ I'm the organizer today, which is rare for me, so I'm trying to keep the pace down... But I just had a taste 😁. I asked my real sake friends to join me because I'm a little lost and unsure about sake, but I was surprised at how quickly I got used to Chichi-san after our first meeting! I'm so proud of him!

. Dry again to refresh the palate. This limited time offer sake is very light and refreshing! A good dry sake with a "super" rating is good without any spikes in stimulation. 👍️

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka ③. The booth of "Kirai" in Tokushima. They brought only their standard products this time. Kirai (black) Tokubetsu Junmai The taste is slightly umami. Kirai (silver) Junmai Daiginjo The umami and sweetness are sweet and delicious. Very tasty. Kibuki River This sake is made with water from the Anabuki River (the original kanji), which flows close to the brewery. The water has a strong acidity, but is also tasty and refreshing. It is also very tasty. ◉Kirai (Aka) Ginjo-Junmai (Houjun) Aromatic and umami, with the typical Junmai rice-derived acidity. All of the wines at this booth were delicious. They will be bringing their Kirai (blue) to the National Sake Fair, which they did not bring this time.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku This sake has a very good name for those who like dry sake! I say "dry" but it's dry with a nice sharpness! It was very cold, so it may not be at its full potential, but I'm sure it would be very tasty heated up. It's a pity that there was no heated sake corner this time! The other Umakuchi was a Junmai that was straight-up delicious! The umami is so strong that you can feel it even when it's cold! I think I'd like to try it lukewarm!

I bought it at a local supermarket when I went back home. I came across it at a different store than the light nigori sake ❗️ of course I bought it immediately💕This one is 100% Snow Goddess. Alcohol 16.3%. Sake degree +5, 40% polished rice Clear color, slightly fruity aroma, deep, spicy-sweet daiginjo that makes me reach for another bottle 😊. The two 180ml bottles side by side are so cute, I can't help but smile: ☺️

Yoshida Kurau - Kijo Sake REMIX IMAYA HANPUKAI SAKE 2024 Co. Yoshi Sake Brewery Sake from Ishikawa Prefecture I can feel the gasiness, the acidity at the beginning, the sweetness, and the bitterness. It's a mellow type of sake because of the sake's assertiveness. It is a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

It has a stable taste. The acidity is not strong, the sweetness is not spitting out, and in a good sense, it does not show the strength of its individuality. It is a sake like "Houken", which is made by adding the elements of good sake to good water. It is a sake that is best suited as a food sake. It is a delicious sake.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.

I ordered this because they said the money for this will be donated to the Noto earthquake. It will be hot 🍶. Oh no, there was only one left when I thought this was the Mexicali Tempura. It doesn't feel special, but it's a nice sake that goes perfectly with a meal. It wasn't stingy at all. I can't read the label. It's black, which is what a beginner in calligraphy did.

Japanese>English

It is a dry sake with a crisp, mellow flavor from the ginjo brewing and junmai brewing. Although it is dry, you will not feel the dryness, and it becomes softer when heated. Excellent with sashimi, sushi and other fish dishes.

Opened the sake I had bought on our honeymoon on my wife's birthday└('ω')┘ It has a rich flavor of Yamahai ( ˘ω˘ )

@ Iwamizawa Kramochi Rice used is Gohyakumangoku It seems to be a traditional junmai sake, but it has a refined ginjo level mouthfeel and a clean, crisp finish. It is a good sake that you can drink calmly and enjoy the full flavor of the rice. ❣️

A 1-goupe bottle that I had gotten at Yamada-san, a sake dealer in Ikebukuro Seibu. I check the small refrigerator near the cash register, which is mainly small bottles, every time I go there. It is Kamerei Mannen from Hiroshima🐢. The classical texture gives it a ginjo-shu feel.

The sweetness, deliciousness, and sharpness were just right, and I drank it smoothly. It was delicious.

Then we have the Jun Dai on the left side. This one has a nice fluffy ginjo aroma, as is typical of jun-dai. The mouthfeel is light and sweet, and the acidity changes to a nice sourness in the mouth. It's kind of elegant! Thank you for the sake!

Next is Golden Crane When I ask the locals on Sado Island what sake they drink, almost everyone answers, "Kintsuru. Almost all of them answer, "Kintsuru. It is the most major sake on Sado Island. Light and dry! Shakiness that is a model of Niigata sake. What is noteworthy is its transparency! There is no unpleasant feeling of brewing alcohol, so it is so easy to drink that it is almost like water. It is so easy to drink that it almost feels like water. It is a delicious and scary yuzu.
