Junmai Namaishige Namaishige🍶Challenge 90✨Free Yamada Nishiki🌾 from Mie Prefecture. Slightly mature aroma. A little grassy on the palate. But it finishes lighter than expected. Alcoholic taste is strong. It is sticky, bitter, and spicy. A little sourness. Delicious with spicy miso wings and sweetness. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20230922

Wow! This is intense. Vinegar, takuan (pickled radish), and yogurt! And yet you can also taste the sweetness of the rice. The bubbles bloom in a flowery, shwashy way. This is the taste of a sake with a Sake Degree of -65 and an acidity of 9.9! Definitely a sake that leaves a lasting impression. I'm glad I took the plunge and bought it. This is the taste of a sake with a sake strength of -65 and an acidity of 9.9! Comes in a PET bottle, so it's easy to open. I wonder if there are more active cloudy bottles in PET bottles. The label has gone away.

Hyogo Prefecture Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi Rice polishing ratio Alcohol 17.5 Junmai sake from Kenbishi. As a Junmai sake drinker, I really wanted to have a Junmai sake from Kenbishi, so I bought it online. The color is light amber. The matured flavor reminds me of chocolate aroma. It is a solid sake with a great posture.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Go-around Rokkomichi 1/5 It was my first time to participate in a go-around! I was excited and thrilled from the morning. I couldn't work today... lol. It was like a field trip for adults. I visited 5 stores in the Rokko-michi area in Kobe! First of all, here is the shaken sake. As I stood nervously at the counter, my neighbor spoke to me. He said, "How many restaurants have you been to?" I said, "This is the first one. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is my first time drinking Miyakotsuru. It is very dry. It is light. I asked for breast meat with kombu-jime egg yolk and chicken skin with wasabi and soy sauce. I thought it was a little strong. But it goes well with sake! This time, the theme for me was "matching the dish". I'm on the train now on my way home. Because I have to work NOW tomorrow.... I'll be posting more soon.......!

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

It is Minokiku Hojo. It is a normal sake made from 100% Yamada Nishiki. It is a little sweet and has a fruity taste. The price is 1760 yen (tax included) and it is the best sake in Japan. It is said that this sake is designed to be the best sake that you can drink in the evening. That's right 😋.

Japanese>English

The 43rd sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture. Gyokusendo Sake Brewery's main brand in Yoro Town. Purchased at a roadside station in Yoro Town. It is made from 100% Hida Homare, Gifu Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing. The aroma is an apple-like ginjo aroma. It has a weak acidity and a weak sweetness from the umami of the rice. The lingering umami flavor lingers until the end.

Japanese>English

Oh, neat. My apologies for not expecting it. I like the seriousness of the product.

Hello. Thank you for drinking sake from my hometown, Minamiaizu Town!

Japanese>English

☀️ It has a strong core of umami. The sweetness is added to it to give it a robust flavor 😋. The slight bitterness in the aftertaste, combined with a hint of Hakka, makes for a refreshing finish 😙.

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Japanese>English

There is no mention of it, but it is probably nama sake. It is not labeled as Nama-shu, but according to the information on the Internet, the label on the back of the bottle says it needs to be kept chilled, which means it is Nama-shu. Am I right? The rice is Ginbukiyo and Nihonbare. It also looks like a raw sake. It does not feel as spicy as the sake level, and although it is spicy, there is a good balance of sweet and spicy. The taste is light and refreshing. The spiciness finishes with a lingering sweetness. There is a good amount of graininess.

Japanese>English

There are still many sake breweries in Shiga that I have not tried. It has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu, but it is also very drinkable and does not try to be carried away by the current style of easy-drinking.

Yes, I am, I bought some fish paste in Kaminoseki in the neighboring prefecture of Yamaguchi, Then, I bought sake and sake from the same Yamaguchi Prefecture, although they are from different regions, We went to a supermarket to buy sake, When I saw the label of new sake, I bought it immediately. It is my favorite sake because it has a weak spiciness and the umami and flavor of the rice are very assertive, as is typical of new sake. I want to stock up on it, Today's beer, Suntory's Premol with a seductive aroma. I thought it had a strong aroma. I thought it might have a strong aroma, but it didn't. It was easy to drink with weak bitterness and weak aroma, It was easy to drink with weak bitterness and weak aroma, and although it was a little lackluster, it was a delicious beer.

We recently visited MURASHIGE SHUZO in Iwakuni City. This is Uraginkan Kuromatsu, a limited edition sake from that brewery. When poured into a glass, the color was more golden than yellow, and the aroma was rich with a hint of caramel 😀 It was a matured sake. It was a matured sake, like a so-called "matured sake" 😀. It's not likely that we would ever choose such a sake at home, but this time we took it home because it was a limited edition from the brewery 😀. It tasted rich, thick and sweet 🤣. I compared the taste of the cold sake and the room temperature sake, and while the cold sake tasted a bit angular, the room temperature sake tasted rounder and tastier with a touch of rice 😀.

Japanese>English

Sake brewery next to Shinkansen Shin-Iwakuni Station When poured into a glass, the aroma is subdued. The aroma is slightly sweet and slightly powdery. When you drink from the top clear liquid, you will taste a strong acidity. The sweetness is moderate. When the nigori is mixed in, it has a slightly creamy texture and sweetness. The acidity is the main flavor throughout.
