Price 1518 yen tax included Rice polishing ratio 55 100% Nishito no Shizuku Alcohol level 15 degrees A faint sweet aroma with a light acidity in the aftertaste brings out the beautiful flavor of this rice. It goes well with food. Secretly, it is the Urasatouka.

Work in Yamaguchi was over and I was on my way home. It takes about 4 hours by Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama, which is quite long! Today, let's go back home after drinking as much as we do at Izakaya Shinkansen. Today was so busy that I didn't eat lunch 🥴. However, almost the last bullet train, and around Shin-Yamaguchi station, there are not so many places to prepare 🤔. At a souvenir shop in the station, I got a hamo no tsukurin (pike conger eel) and gairo for dessert (I heard it's a bit different from gairo in Nagoya)! (I heard it's a little different from gairo in Nagoya.) They didn't have any bento-like bento, so I went to the combined 7-Eleven and Souvenir Kaido store inside the ticket gate. Seriously 😱. The bento was sold out........ I hadn't even eaten lunch 😭 So I switched to something that looked like a prepared dish from 7-Eleven. Sake is santouka! A little yellow. At room temperature, it feels like it's mellow in the mouth. A bit like honjozo? It's a solid taste, I don't dislike it. It has a strong taste.

When I went to Yamaguchi on business before, I brought back a bottle of sake I'd never had before, just for the sake of it. Yamatohka: Sake made with rice from the Saito Shizuku Sake made with Yamaguchi's sake rice, Saito no Shizuku Taneda Yamatohka was born in Hofu and once lived in Ogori (around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). (Around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). Looks a little yellow. It's a little yellow in color. It's a little sour, but you can taste the rice. But you can taste the rice flavor, not sweet but tasty. This is delicious 😋. On the second day, it tasted even better 😋😋😋😋. The third one is a statue of Santoka in front of the station (a bit backlit)

I had the opportunity to visit a sake brewery in Tokyo that is well known for its delicious and famous gecko, so I paid a visit for the first time: ❗️❗️ I don't know if it's only available here, but there were a lot of sake that I had never seen before, so I bought this one that seemed to suit my taste while expressing my gratitude to the sake brewer for always letting me enjoy their sake. ❗️🍶 Now let's start with the aroma: ❗️ When you open the bottle, you hear a pop ❗️, which means it's a gas chili type of sake. ⁉️ I'm looking forward to it! The aroma is a little bit sweet. I don't know if it has any particular characteristics. If I had to say, it's a bit like the Sentori we drank last year. Then, take a sip. It has a sweet, berry-like aroma, but the flavor of the rice spreads quickly. ❗️ sweet and juicy 🍶. The aroma is much stronger in the mouth, more complex and a bit peculiar. It's not the ramune juwa~❗️ like Yamamori, but this is a delicious one that you will want to repeat. It's hard to describe, but it was that kind of sake that felt fun to drink 🍶.

Japanese>English

sharp and tasty Sweet aroma, sharp attack. The taste is crisp and delicious. It goes in smoothly and has a fruity aftertaste. Sake brewery in Higashimurayama City, Tokyo. Yamori is famous for its sake, but it is sold only by special dealers😅. So we chose the sake recommended by the staff as a Yamori-style flavor. It's very easy to drink 🤣.

One of my favorites 🤩. It's still delicious 😁.

The 8th of every month is the day to make a toast with Shinshu sake🥂. I heard it's the 8th of every month 💡. That's why we decided to open a Shinshu sake 😄♪ It's midsummer midwinter sake ☀️⛄️ ✨🥂✨ Rigel and Ane-san drank this. You were drinking ❣️ It has a nice aroma like green apple🍏. It's sweet and sour and delicious 💕😋💕. I'm on the second day. I could taste the bitterness so much. I combined it with pickles against the bitterness of Yamasan. Perfect 😁👍 We enjoyed it deliciously 😋.

We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 4th glass! Koshino-Hachiho Junmai Sake This is also a brand new to me! It is a light and dry sake with the main flavor of rice. It is a typical food sake that does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Drinking with my friend's parents and son who were back in their hometown for New Year's break. After baptizing a 20-year-old young man with sake at a local sake bar (I forgot to take a picture...) Drinking sake at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant First time at Kura Easy to drink and doesn't interfere with the sushi The sake has a nice sharpness that disappears before you know it, so you won't get tired of drinking it. It is neither too much nor too little, and this normality is the goodness of Honjozo. As one would expect from Niigata, the range of its products is very broad. At Sushi Restaurant Misaki

Pampakapa~n📯. Here we come, J&N 600 check-in: ‼️ The Tochigi sake rate at 500 CI was 20%, but after that, the rate went up to 31% with only 100 bottles until 600 CI⤴️ I think the comparison of Sentori renewal was effective after all👍And so, it jumped to #2 after Shinsei in the Sake-no-wa ranking, right? Amazing‼️ The number one is SENKOURI 🤗...but let's continue with the "buy one you've never had before" 😊The commemorative bottle was chosen by "TAMAKA" 🤗. I've been curious about this one from Watanabe Shuzo in Kyokko for a while! I'll make love to you! Slightly yellow color 😌. The first sip is a bit astringent and delicious 🧐 with a robust flavor and a tight acidity 😋. I'm going to try this one! I'm sure this is his cue 🤔"Yamada-kun, bring me the one I was talking about" "ha~yayakuma~" So, here we are at Nonbee Yokocho😙. I knew it was the heated sake 🍶! The name "J&N Sake no Wawa" means "sake that tastes good heated". I'm sure you'll both feel the warmth 🤗Sasukechi here! Yes, it's already delicious from the aroma 😋...take a sip...😍you can't help but grin 🤭I'm in a great mood 🥹! If it's over 30%, it's top-notch! I love Tochigi 🥰!

This is the wrong brand it’s from Tochigi from Hokkan. The cheapest sake in Donquixote in Bangkok and so very smooth and balanced at medium chill. It’s actually very close to water.

Sake brewery tour on foot 14 After leaving Imazu in Nishinomiya, I walked through Ashiya and on to Kobe 😀 There were several large breweries along the way. There were several large breweries on the way, but they were full of foreign groups, so we passed them and came to Hamafukutsuru's Ginjo Workshop 😀. Here, we had a comparison of Kukura's Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki, Omachi and Aizan 😇. The color, aroma, and even the taste of the different rice varieties were very different 🤣! By the way, I and Orin liked Aizan the best💕.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

On the lighter side with a hint of sweetness. This has the best finish of any sake I’ve had in a while.

I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.
