The 2nd meeting of Kansai Off-line Meeting Year-End Party ✌️. Around this time, tables were filled with Hormone Yakisoba is delivered one after another 🤣. And Shirokuma sake 🐻❄️! It's a light cloudy sake. Aroma is fruity but slightly dry ❄️. Easy to drink even when chatting easy to drink and easy to drink 😋.

Shirokuma Shirokuma - Winter light nigori - 720ml Rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol: 16%. I opened a bottle of Hatsuzakura because my wife said it was too strong. It is soft and a little bit sweet. It is very different from the other two bottles that were made with a cloudy rice that looked like porridge. I would like to drink the animal series throughout the year 😊.

Sweet aroma. Personally, I like to enjoy it with a bowl of rice and a bowl of tsumami after eating a bowl of rice.

Matured old wine, at the store I want it.

Japanese>English

I bought this sake at Nishizawa Shoten, a liquor store in front of Kawayuonsen station in Teshikaga-cho❗ I went to the south for the first time to try a sake I had never had before 😊I see this sake is made by Miyoshino Brewery, which brews Hanaboe 😃. The color is amber as you can see! It has a rich and sweet taste like an aged sake! I think it has the feeling of being organic due to the Yamahai method 😋. I would like to have a bottle with something salty like cheese or cured ham 😉.

Japanese>English

It had just the right amount of sweetness for me. (Leaning towards sweet) I would drink it again.

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.

Japanese>English

Yesterday's spoils. Slightly acidic and full-bodied. The flavor overlaps with the umami and extends smoothly.

Japanese>English

Umami and acidity enter gently. It stays moist until the mid-palate and settles down with a slippery, clear finish.

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.

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 😋.

Sake from a brewery famous for Ryujinmaru. It has been a very long time since Kirakuri. After Shikishima, tkmts-san was drinking Ryujinmaru, and I wanted to try something of Takagaki-san's sake, so I chose Kirakuri. This time it was an unfiltered raw Nakadori. It has a caramelized taste with sweetness and a sense of maturity. It's just a coincidence that there is a succession of sakes with a sense of maturity, such as Washin, Shikishima, and Kirakuri.

Opened March 3, 2025 Purchased at Matsuo Sake Shop, Wakayama Purchased at a liquor store I was introduced to when I visited Nakano BC Mmmm, cocoa, chocolate 🍫. This 🤣 is very rich! Acid and sweetness! If it's this rich, maybe it can be used for strong flavored food like simmered dishes or meat dishes!

It has a nuance like when you bite into the skin of a grape. I felt that it was a sake that chose the drinker, but I enjoyed it because it had a taste that I had never had before.

The most expensive sake in the local bar I went into. This is certainly a good drink. It has an accent, but it's not too strong and seems to go well with everything. It is a strong drink, even if you can read "Yusura" in the name. The sashimi and octopus were as light and tasty as potato chips.

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sake Marche 2023 Part 2 We had sake from Kuze Sake Brewery, the closest sake brewery to my parents' house 😋. Amber-colored Daiginjo ✨with a rich rice flavor😊It's a traditional sake 😚👍It has a robust flavor, but the aftertaste disappears quickly😇. I felt like it was a sake to be enjoyed by itself and sipped slowly 🥳.

GW in Kanazawa! At the Kanazawa Sake Brewery in Kanazawa Station, we came across a dream machine that allowed us to sample sake for 100 or 300 yen (P.S.) Naturally, we took the challenge. The description said it was dry, but I prefer raw sake, so I chose this one. I tasted it thinking it might be a fruity type, but it was a clear dry sake that would go well with sashimi and other dishes. I appreciate free tastings, but I feel somewhat guilty about it, so this kind of reasonably priced tasting is very helpful and encourages me to try different kinds. I tasted three other types of sake here, and all of them seemed dry to me. I have an image that Ishikawa's sake is basically dry.
