Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

Junmai Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨ Various flavors. Stronger freshly squeezed. Alcohol is also strong. It is assertive throughout. The sliced kipper makes it mild 👍. Fried oyster makes it more charming. It looks like it was made up and became beautiful😅. Nambu Bistro Unmenosu @ Morioka station 20240126

Sake Tasting Gacha at Sasaki Sake Brewery This is another sake limited to the brewery. It was sold in a refrigerator, but I'm not sure if it was fresh sake or not. Gorgeous and fruity. Dry but delicious. 4gou 5500 yen 😱. Most of the high-end sake was made with 1801 yeast.

Salmon Monogatari in Kansai(´・ω・`) Red is the color of the bottle. It has a moderate ripeness, and the more you chew it, the deeper the flavor becomes. The more you bite into it, the deeper the flavor becomes. It makes you want to have something to eat. It is the type of sake you want to drink slowly, so it may not be suitable for events.

Yesterday was the first youth baseball coaches meeting in two weeks. A big senior coach bought us some sake from Tokushima, so we had it 🙇️. My first Tokushima sake ️️! It's a dry taste, but you can feel the sweetness too👍. It's well balanced and perfect for a midday drink😍. My senior coach lives in Shikoku for work now and can't come back every week but I asked him to bring me some good sake from Shikoku🤣.

The second bottle of Hohsui Shuzo purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival was a hiyaoroshi 🐰✨ with a 60% polishing ratio of Bizen Omachi rice. It has a mellow mouthfeel and a full flavor that is typical of Omachi rice, and is delicious!

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

It is sweeter than sweet, with a spiciness that comes after the first sip. It is a sake that can be drunk indefinitely, so you will find yourself emptying a four-pack before you know it.

The muscat aroma is very refreshing😊. It's sweet, but with a light shwash (acidity). I can also feel the flavor of the sake 🎉. Kubiki Sake Brewery

Today is Mukade, the second time it has appeared. After opening the bottle, it immediately had a nice aroma. I wonder if it is because it is a daiginjo. The taste is robust and dry. There is no fruit in it. Yona? 🤔

The third cup is a centipede ministry. The one I probably wouldn't buy based on the label 🤣. But I think this one had the best aroma of all the ones I had yesterday 😋. It was unexpected and made a big impact👍 You're getting into the swing of things now 🤣.

It is said that it is written "no wind" and read "Mukade". Once you see it, you'll never forget it. It is soft to the palate and seems to go well with any dishes.

Purchased at a supermarket in Karuizawa. I did not expect much...but I experienced the power of Nagano sake🍶...aroma: a faint sweet aroma of rice, a clear sweet bitterness...the bitterness is just right and does not bother me...it is delicious😋...but it is also delicious😋 when drunk as is... ...but it really comes into its own as a food sake! It's a very beautiful sake that doesn't interfere with food 🍶♪ I'm sipping it with a side dish of inada I caught in Sagami Bay 😋♪ This is delicious 😋♪....

Junmai Daiginjo🍶Nara Sake✨No.10 yeast Dry melon🍈May have a little bit of a strong seme smell? When paired with chicken grunt, the unpleasant taste is lessened and it is easy to drink. It has a strong sharpness. It is a good match for the sweet and spicy flavors of yellowtail. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20220804

Very refreshing! First taste is muscat with a hint of cucumber towards the finish. There is a slight dryness at the finish which is nice. A light mouth feel and a short finish. The name of this Sake is true to the flower.
