OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023(´¦) Very sharp and refreshing, a dry sake with a thick body that is not light. A junmai sake that tastes great chilled. No strong character, but good for everyday drinking I imagined that Frog's ginjo-nama-zake next to it would also be good, but my weak liver stopped screaming and I gave up on it! See you again, Mr. Frog!

Tenma Dai-Shuukai (¡Ω-Ω-Ω) Slightly mellow raw storage It is a summer product with a refreshing taste and aroma It gets sweeter as it warms up, but it is basically refreshing when cooled down, right? The people dancing to the KUWATA BAND medley on the way home seemed to be having a good time! For some reason, they were so well prepared that they brought their own happi (happy coats)! It was wonderful that they were giving it their all! After all, the Tenma Taishukai is unique!

☆☆☆☆☆ I've had Beian Daigoku before, but this is the first time I've had Iyari. It is a lineup of Yamahai. It has the same flavor as Hokan-Daikoku, but with the acidity of Yamahai. No, it might be good. I'm not saying it might be, but it's good.

Sweet! But a well-balanced sake. I wonder if the aftertaste is well-balanced.

I'm not sure if it's because it was just opened or not. I wonder if the fact that it was just opened had something to do with it. Maybe it will be different if I drink it in a couple of days.

A liquor similar to white wine ♪ The aroma before you drink it gives you a hint of wine... It was so delicious that all three of us drank it in one go.

Japanese>English

The last of Hankyu Brewery Festival The first one: Fukuoka Wakatakeya Debut Sake like a dark white wine with the flavor of rice. But it is easy to drink! But be careful, it has 17 degrees of alcohol! This one was taught by Haruei Chichi and Gura. It's my first time in Fukuoka with this delicious drink! Thank you very much 🙏. The second one, Tottori Inada Honten IKU'S SHIRO Sweet and sour, tastes like juice. I tasted various kinds of sake while learning from many members. It was a lot of fun! If you are going tomorrow or later, please drink a lot and enjoy 🎶.

I bought it at a product show the other day. I had never heard of this brand, but I tasted it and liked it. It was 19 degrees, so I drank it lightly on the rocks. I paired it with stewed daikon radish and shellfish sashimi as the cold weather deepened. It was moderately dry and went well with sashimi.

Outside Drinking. Sake and Nishi Park" held in Sendai. It was raining ☔️ and I was holding an umbrella, so I finally forgot to take a picture ❗️ regrettably 😂. I borrowed it from the brewery's website instead 😆. Here is the sake. The type is more than old sake. It has been aged for 2 years, so it is still on its way up. The color is of course amber. The taste is heavy with the umami of the rice and the maturity of the sake. The aroma is thick, and the overall feeling is that it comes with a thud. It is relatively easy to drink, perhaps because it has been aged for only a short time. Juku sake seems to warm you up.

Hot sake, 50°C Golden in color with a mellow aroma. The entry is refreshing. Delicious.

Next, Yokobue. This one is also described as dry, but compared to the first glass of Reito, it was fruity and less spicy! It was easy to drink and I downed a whole bottle in no time!

Japanese>English

YOKOBUE - Junmai-brewed Ume-shu (plum wine) 720ml Ingredients: Sake, plums, glacial sugar Alcohol content 11%. This was purchased at the brewery's store in November. This plum wine was the best among all the ones we tasted 😀. After the 3rd day of Honkin, I drank straight Umeshu (plum wine). 11 degrees, but I got drunk very fast. Sometimes plum wine is good... â

(˶ᐢ˶˶ᐢ˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No.7 I bought a bottle of Yokobue at a local supermarket 😀. I don't think I can detect much aroma 🤔It is a dry Junmai sake with a good balance of rice flavor and acidity 😚👍. After drinking it as a reward for the weekend, I had a local ramen, Harbin Ramen 🍜🥰.

I tasted it during the New Year holidays. I thought it was arabashiri, but I mistakenly put shiboritate in it 🤣. It was fresh and easy to drink even though it was fired once.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Aged Sake✨Snow❄️☃️ Aged sake, light yellow in color. Cold sake, matured, Daruma Masamune-like. Not heavy, warmed to 60 degrees. Soft around the edges. Mellow. ☺️ It's still a sake for warming up. I served it with scallop sashimi sent from my relatives in Hokkaido 😋The scallops were huge and delicious💕. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki.

Outside drinking. Ordered by the impact of the name. When poured, it smells moist and sweet. The taste is as expected (?). The sweetness is strong. When tasted, it has the flavor of rice. There is a slight astringency in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is clean, with a watery sensation and a nice clean finish. There is a distinctive sweet aroma. It is a mellow, sweet sake, and you can sense the careful craftsmanship. Later I looked it up and found the word "Toyobai" 😳. I didn't realize it was so 😚.

Junmai Nama Sake🍶Mohawk Nama Musume✨Toyobai Rice🌾. Sweet and refreshing ✨Orange juice? 🍊 Maybe a flat plate would be easier to drink than a glass 🤔 as the sweetness would be diluted. Pair it with sweet and spicy peppers and it's refreshing, gobble it up. It's a raw sake version of Mohawk Girl, so it's Mohawk Raw Girl 😅 Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230913

As the name "super dry" suggests, there is no sweetness at all. It has no peculiarity in the mouthfeel and can be swallowed easily.

three cups of Tsunite (three cups of sake) Rice used is Hachitan Nishiki Sanshiki has a punch, doesn't it? It has a good sense of maturity and a pungent spiciness. It also has a nice sharp aftertaste. ❗️ It's great to have this kind of sake in the lineup! It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I had it warmed up. I never get tired of drinking this sake.

Japanese>English

Like Kikutaka, it is no longer sold. Mie Nishiki Light Nigori, which has been sold out like Kikutaka. We procured this sake, which had been stored in ice temperature for eight years, from a well-known liquor store. Wow, this is impressive 😀.　The shwashiness is still there even after 8 years. The sweetness and acidity overflows, and the bitterness characteristic of Mie Nishiki's light cloudy taste creates a lingering aftertaste. Mie Nishiki makes you feel the bitterness is delicious. Oh, this, this, I used to love Mie Nishiki. The flow of time gives the taste a mellowness, and it has both freshness and maturity, two contradictory elements. It is delicious, deeply delicious. It was the night I vowed to drink this one again, little by little, over the course of a year.

At a soba restaurant selected as one of the 100 best soba restaurants in "EAT LOG". I was lost in the many dishes on the menu and decided to go with my favorite "Kamo Seiro" and a decanter of Kanazawa-ya sake. It was recommended as dry, but it was soft rather than refreshingly dry. It was delicious!
