At the store. Easy to drink while Junmai Daiginjo, but dry? Clear. Sake was light on the palate.

Japanese>English

Clear and refreshing! (These are just the impressions of a sake beginner. (These are just my impressions as a sake beginner, please don't get me wrong. It's all right as long as you enjoy drinking it.) (The following is a reprint from the description on the Internet. It has a fresh aroma and a smooth smooth throat. It has a dry, light taste with excellent sharpness. It is recommended for first-time sake drinkers as it is easy to drink. Incidentally, the Sudoh family has been brewing sake since the end of the Heian Period (1141, the first year of the Eiji Period), and is the oldest brewery in Japan, now in its 55th generation. The brewery is located in Kasama City (formerly Tomobe Town) in the center of Ibaraki Prefecture.

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.

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 🎶.

( -̀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.

Japanese>English

Alcoholic beverages sent through crowdfunding I think I prefer it to the other bottle, Jungin, because it has a more pronounced sense of maturity.

Morimoto Shuzo Koyogi Junmai Ginjo Comet 50. It is a jackpot purchase. It is a delicious sake with a great taste and a great drinking experience 😋.

Japanese>English

Morimoto Morimoto Junmai Sake "Hatsu-no-Takimikiri 2022". This is my first time to drink this brewery. It was a delicious one 🍶🎶 and served chilled. It is a dark, umami, spicy sake, but as the temperature returns to normal, the sweetness and sourness come through. I think it is a good sake at room temperature or warmed. All of Shizuoka Prefecture's sake is delicious.

Japanese>English

I came back to my parents' house today, so I drank a glass of local sake for dinner. It is a refreshing yet umami (flavorful) sake that is very Shizuoka 🍶 Morimoto-san is delicious.

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.

Japanese>English

If you drink Ryujinmaru I want to compare the Takagaki sake brewery ⁉️ So I compared with Kirari 😆. The aroma of this one is also very robust 😳 This one is a little more refreshing. The mouthfeel is quite heavy for a recent sake, but lighter than the Ryujinmaru we drank earlier. The sharpness also has a rummy feel to it and is more refreshing than the Ryujinmaru, but I think this one has more of a cloying aftertaste. I think so. When compared, I think they are lighter, but they are both quite heavy sakes 🍶. Along with the drinking comparison, I also compared Rasho from Ushiku and Yamaokaya from Ushiku. Well, there is no comparison because they have completely different tastes 🤣. Both are addictive and delicious 🍜.

Japanese>English

Another brand of Takagaki Shuzo, which brews Ryujinmaru Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of brown sugar and caramel behind the graininess. Soft and smooth on the palate, with a voluptuous sweetness that spreads and tightens with a refreshing acidity. When warmed to human body temperature, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the flavor sharper. The robust taste makes it a good match for stewed dishes.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (2) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. It was my first time to try Hakonezan! This is the spiciest sake in the group. It is a dry ginjo-shu as you might imagine, but it is moderately rich and very good as a mid-meal drink. Of course, it goes well with ingredients as they are, but it also goes well with dishes that have been added, such as those using dashi (Japanese soup stock)!

Iyari-ri, Aki-agari and horten. Aroma like yogurt. Slightly sweet and delicious. It is well chilled, which is a big help. Due to the extremely hot weather, the rice is hard and difficult to dissolve, and Kitayasu Brewery, which is particular about sweet sake, is having a hard time making it. Thank you for the delicious sake. Hashigo-zake no utage @ Matsumoto August 30, 2025 12:00 - 16:30 A town bar event where you can enjoy food and Nagano sake at 24 restaurants in front of Matsumoto station. It was delicious and fun.

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 😚.
