Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

Japanese>English

This was also my first time drinking it! It was delicious! But I was too drunk to give an honest opinion 💦. I am sure it was delicious!

Sake rice is Kinmon-nishiki Very smooth and light. A little bitterness in the aftertaste, but nothing peculiar.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Sota Watanabe Shoten in August. When I went camping in the summer, I attended with melons from Yamama and Niida Zenshu, but both were gone in an instant, so I didn't raise them to check in 😂. Such is the classic brand of the Niida head family. Did I drink it cold (room temperature) at first? I don't remember. (LOL) I thought it was very tasty when I drank it heated (probably hot)! I thought it was delicious! The complex acidity and umami of the rice, unique to the brewer's yeast, is extended by the warming up of the sake! I love the way the flavor expands when heated. I think it tastes great chilled, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend heating it up. I might want to keep this one on hand. I'm glad I don't have to put the classic in the fridge. I would love to have a fridge for sake, but...

Japanese>English

Ingredient rice: Natural rice (naturally favorable rice grown without using any fertilizers such as pesticides or compost) Rice polishing ratio 90 Alcohol content 15 Niida Honke's sake has been getting a good reputation lately. Personally, I bought this sake because I am in a mini-boom for a higher level of sake other than sweet and fruity. Here we go! The aroma is... What is this? It smells simple and sweet, like freshly baked bread. I have never tasted a sake with such an aroma. The mysterious brewing water is soft, slightly viscous, mineral, and translucent. The sweetness is like freshly baked bread, and the robust, tight rice flavor is as vibrant as ever. There is also a hint of acidity, which is probably due to the use of the sake yeast, but at any rate, it is full of umami. Tamura is a gem that is profound yet light, powerful yet gentle, and a contradiction in terms. It disappeared with a slight sharpness in the back of the throat. In recent years, an increasing number of popular sakes are being hailed as wine-like sake with a sweet and sour taste like grapes. Of course, I like these sake as well. But if you ask me which sake made from rice has the weight, lingering aftertaste, complexity, and simplicity of red wine, I would drink Tamura without hesitation. Thank you again for the food tonight!

Brewed by Suginomori Sake Brewery, a revived brewery. This brewery is not registered with Sake-no-Wawa.... Despite the chic jet-black bottle. Fruity aroma, sweetness, and The flavor of the rice is very strong.

Japanese>English

This sake, which looks like a wine bottle, is a souvenir from Naraijuku on the Nakayama Road. It is slightly effervescent with a slight sourness and sweetness. It was an easy-drinking sake.

Japanese>English

narai beta It looks like wine, but it is a sake made by Suginomori Sake Brewery in Narai, Shiojiri City, which is famous for Naraijuku on the old Nakasendo Road. If you buy it outside of your hometown, it costs about 5,000 yen 🤔. The top aroma is sweet with a refreshing coolness. The first sip has a refreshing citrusy acidity and a juicy sweetness. It's a bit un-Nagano-esque but very tasty 🍶✨️😊

A bottle that shows the quintessence of Yamae Nishiki. It has a rich umami and strong bitter acidity. Rather dry taste. Impressive freshness and richness even though it's a draft ✨. Not too high at 15.5, You can fully enjoy the original sake character 😋.

Japanese>English

This is your first issue. What is this? It has all the good points of Shinshu sake. It has a gentle sweetness, but at the same time it is refreshing. The evaluation was divided as to whether it was dry or sweet. I thought it was sweet. I felt the high level of Shinshu.

Good evening! Today is also from the past history. This is another drink at Gin Kura, a sake bar. The first sour sake I ever drank, Shinmasa. The first time I drank a sour sake, Shinmasa, was when I sat down at the counter. No, all I remember is that it was really good. #Gin Kura Sake Bar

　　　Yamayu released a year ago, this is 😱! It's so unique that you can only drink it while licking salt from a Masu box. I can't stand the smell of wood. 🥺 Well, is this a learning experience?　I'm not sure if I'll like it when I get used to it.

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

Fukui Sake 🍶. While waiting for the Thunderbird on a business trip to Fukui, I went to a bar and compared three different kinds of sake. I had three kinds of sake selected on my own. All were delicious and it was hard to choose one over the other, but the Manazuru sake was my favorite! I wish I could have had more!

Japanese>English

Sweet rosé wine Sweet aroma, smooth attack. Lightly sweet on the palate, light on the mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness. The color of the sake is said to be made from ancient rice. It has a sweetness that is not typical of sake, but it is very refreshing, so it goes well with sasazuke (small sea bream) 😋.

From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.
