千代の光は以前から気になってたけど初。米は越淡麗だそう。微発泡でマスカット感。火入れだけどフレッシュ感強め。最後は苦味でフィニッシュする。ここの生酒飲んでみたいなぁ

It is a well-balanced sake that is fruity, refreshing, and has a crisp finish. Vinegared harakkyo mushrooms as a side dish

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. It is a light and round sake with a clean and crisp taste. As the temperature rises, the so-called "sémé" aroma and sweetness, as well as a stimulating spiciness, become apparent, giving the impression of an "aluzoe" sake❗️. I love this kind of refined Honjozo!

Junmai Ginjo🍶Mutsugorosan 😆 Natsu⛱. Gentle ☺️. Suddenly into the body. A little creamy. Like Pocari after sweating. A little dryer in a cup than on a flat plate. The picture on the label is Mutsugorouno from Ariake Sea 😅 Paired with pickled sardines with sesame vinegar. It's also excellent 🎉. KUITTO@Yono 20230819

Arrival at today's inn. We will have a yakimugi bento (barley lunch box) bought at Tosu station on the way to the hotel! When the bottle is opened, it has a pudding-like aroma. It has a mild, pudding or custard-like flavor, just like the standing aroma, and the soft, round sweetness is really pleasant! The tanginess of the brewing alcohol can be felt directly afterwards, but it can be enjoyed with a good balance! I couldn't distinguish it from the one-cup sake for a moment, but it is a fine Saga sake.

Japanese>English

Drinking Past, Drinking Home November finally arrived! The label of Mutsugoro in the shape of Saga Prefecture is unique 😊. It was a bit chilly that day, so I had it at room temperature! The aroma is grain-derived flavor and acidity. On the palate Surprisingly sweet! There is enough umami and acidity, and the bitterness that comes out after a while is moderate. And the lingering aftertaste is short and finishes quickly... It's delicious 👍

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.

At home. This was a gift from my wife, who had been watching my daily posts on Sake-no-wa, as she was addicted to sake. I was happy to receive this gift, but at the same time, I wondered if it was safe to order it online. I have to admit that I was a little concerned. After taking some commemorative photos, I was ready to try it. The aroma was fruity. When I put it in my mouth, it had a fresh, slight carbonation, a strong sourness and sweetness, and a strong bitterness at the end, making it very easy to drink. I thought to myself that continuing to drink will produce various effects, and I will continue to enjoy my life of drinking.

Japanese>English

Snowy Matsushima, a gift This type of sake comes in a box with an ostentatious string tied around the neck of the bottle. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but there is a sense of bitter alcohol in the back. The mouthfeel is clean, sweet and delicious, with a clear sake quality and no unpleasant alcohol taste, making it a quintessential expensive sake. It also has a nice sharpness from the mild bitterness. It was a treat!

Japanese>English

The oldest daughter and her husband gave me a bottle of alcohol as a year-end gift🍶. It's refreshing and light 🤗 Umakuchi delicious 🤤. I'm currently doing a lot of pots and pans. I'm having a lot of fun with pots 🙋🙋.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been a long time since I've seen Sanbon. It's still delicious no matter which one you drink👍.

Japanese>English

(*^￢^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 When I stopped by a liquor store in Fukui Prefecture, I encountered a Bonon I had never seen before, and was attracted by the unusual shape of the bottle and bought it😙. It's not gorgeous, but it's a delicious sake with a royal umami taste 😇 and you can really feel the flavor of the rice 😀.

Japanese>English

( ˊ拉말ˋ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I opened a bottle of Bravo that I bought at a roadside station on the way back from a super car event in Fukui the other day 😀. The aroma is mild and refreshing 🤔The taste is round and crisp 😋The drink size is 300ml😇 Just the right amount of sake to enjoy 🥳.

At home. This is the first time I've had sake from Hokkaido. I thought that Hokkaido's sake was more alcoholic, but it was completely different. You can feel the sweetness of the rice, and there is a bitter taste at the end. It is a refreshing type and very easy to drink. We received a lot of sake from Hokkaido, so we will try to taste and upload it little by little.

A Drink to Remember Series (5) In the early summer of 2015, I planned to take my car on a ferry to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, and when I arrived safely in Wakkanai, I had a drink at a yakitori restaurant for the first time in my life 🍶. The memory reminds me of the faint muscat-like aroma and sharp sharp sharpness 😋. The beauty of the label with the brand name, the wish behind the name "Fuyu Hanabi", and the taste of the local sake when you drink it on a trip...it was one of the reasons I became a sake lover 🎵. I still see it at Sake-no-wa from time to time, so I couldn't help but fish it out from old photos 😆. By the way, the picture was taken when I drank it with my family at the New Year's celebration after I returned from my trip. The other bottle in the picture, "Yukikirara", will be introduced another time ✨😉👍️

This is Kitanoshiki Houmon Honjozo. It is a little dry sake, but you can feel the sweetness. It is a delicious sake.

(**) ☆*°🍶🍶🍶🍶´- I had a cup of Kunigon Shuzo's Aotefu for the first time in about 5 years 😀 It is low-polished but has a mild aroma, a strong rice flavor, and a good balance of refreshing acidity and a slight bitterness at the end 😘It is a delicious sake with a slightly dry taste that you would not expect from a low-polished sake 😊.

Tomiikiku's local sake ministry️ popular at Haneya. This sake is available in supermarkets😊. The traditional method of production is the same as that of Haneya. Different tastes with different vectors 😋. This sake is characterized by sweetness and umami, not dryness. The common feature is a powdery taste like Kamishinko. It's not always available and not always cheap. I've been through it all along😅lol

Japanese>English

As expected! Apparently it's only available at Seven. 300ml costs about 700 yen. It's shocking that this can be found in a convenience store! It's juicy, refreshing, and slightly sizzling. It's not alcoholic, and it's gone in a flash!

Japanese>English

It's not as good as the Haneya award-winning sake I drank the other day. but the sweetness and elegant taste was similar😄. It was delicious and I drank it at a good pace.

Shinano-Nishiki Risshun Morning Squeeze, which we drink every year! This year, too, I was able to drink it in Risshun! It has a rich sweet flavor. The spiciness also appears and it is crisp and clean! It is delicious this year, too!

Japanese>English

It was a delicious, large, dry sake with a fresh aroma 😌 and a crisp flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and umami 😋🥂.

Japanese>English

A very dry, raw sake! Just as it should be. When you drink it, it has umami and smoothness, and as you drink more and more, the spiciness and nourishment come on top. When you add saltiness, the umami flavor comes through and it becomes more vibrant. I would like to try it with a variety of meals.

I sleep weirdly too much and this is exhausting 😅💦. I don't remember who it was that said that sleep is not accumulated even if you sleep a lot, so lack of sleep will never be solved 🤔. Well, I'm going to drink some expensive alcohol and go back to sleep. Let's open the bottle and go back to bed. The aroma is fruity and the taste is lychee-like, just like yesterday's M, but something is different ⁇ When I compare what the difference is, I think it's the alcohol taste that comes out in the aftertaste 🤔❓❓ I don't know what the difference is, but I'm sure it tastes good anyway 🤣👍👍.

Japanese>English

720ml ¥2,530 Next, a medium-sized Harmonie. The aroma is still the same, but when you taste it, you will be amazed. Iwashimizu won 🎉🎉🎉! I still have a lot of blame to answer😁😁.

Japanese>English

2024 limited edition medium-brewed sake. Low-alcoholic 11 degrees, only malic acid, and a fine apple. Almost liqueur-like, but both sweet and acidic and gentle, so it empties quickly. One to procure if you can repeat it. ☆☆☆☆☆
