Apple Juice Gulping Sweet and Sour Invigorating Plum

Refreshing, sweet and sour. It has a stronger apple taste than the fire-brewed Apple Pom Pom I had before. The alcohol content is low at 7 degrees, so it is like a juice. Although the alcohol content is low, it is delicious and has a green apple taste. I didn't know this was a joint development with Motox. I didn't know that. It's the same as Iori and Iyano.

I thought it was a fresh, juice-like drink with a slight sweetness and a really green apple-like acidity.

Since ancient times, people used to throw beans on Setsubun day👹. Before we know it, the custom of eating ehoumaki (rolls wrapped in rice wrapped in eho-maki) has has taken root. Tonight is the moon after the rain. When I open the door, I hear a cheerful sound. The feeling of tight gas 🫧. Aroma like sweet sake Clean sweetness and sharpness ⚡. When you mix the lees, the lactobacillus feeling becomes more intense at once ✨. Light, low-alcoholic taste, so you can gobble it up 😋.

I used to be a big fan of cold sake, but now the allure of room temperature sake is irresistible😍. I have always liked Takumi, but I thought it had a slightly off-flavored aroma...more like a smell. But I don't know if it's because it's at room temperature or because it's hiya oroshi, but it doesn't have that smell at all. It has a mellow taste. I am looking forward to seeing how it will change in the future😊.

Compared to the previous Takumi Daiginjo Almost the same feeling This one has It has some acidity and no spiciness. It has a very good mouthfeel, but it lacks a little impact. but it lacks a little impact. Reasonably priced! This place is really great! Alcohol 15%.

A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

Japanese>English

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.

Refreshing ginjo aroma 😌. It was a local sake with a strong but refreshing alcohol taste that went well with a meal 🥂.

I received this as a travel souvenir from my wife! My first Kanagawa sake! Junmai Ginjo Showdown! Izumihashi famous sake! Yellow-green medium-bodied! Easy to drink with moderate sweetness! Easy to drink! Shonan Yellow full bodied! Yellow full bodied! The spiciness makes you realize that the sake you've been drinking this week was sweet! A good old-fashioned one with a strong flavor! Banana from the 🍌 Dry! The umami you can feel in the back of your throat! This one goes to Shonan! A delicious classic! I want to try the other Izumibashi one day!

I bought this Suzune for my wife who wanted to drink it 😛 lol The gasiness is still the same, but the rice flavor and acidity are there, but the impression is a little lighter than Suzune. I think I like this one better because it's more refreshing✨.

146th bottle. Sweet, slightly effervescent, easy-drinking sake.

☀️ Weekend in Aizuwakamatsu. I knew I had to try Kitakata ramen ❗️, so I had some ramen🍜 before returning to the hotel🏨. The chewy noodles, the soft chashu pork, the soy sauce broth...it was all great 😋. And one more bowl before bed 😆. We stopped by Suehiro Sake Brewery on our brewery tour and bought some sake 🍶 and jelly 🤩. First of all, a puchi puchi 🫧. It starts with bitterness and gradually sweetens up. A nice, clean, flattering taste 😚. Next is the jelly 🤍. Plum? Tangerine? Sweet like 🤔. Hard to compare as I can hardly taste the acidity 😓. It's listed as having alcohol in it, but maybe because I was drunk, it was no different than regular jelly 😆. I have special plans tomorrow so I'm going to bed early 🛌💤.

Memorandum. This is another favorite local drink. Summer, After having accomplished a lot of big challenges in June for me. I wanted to take a breather and reset. A crisp, dry, unpasteurized sake. It works well. I should be able to get eggplant. It was such a good sake for the evening. Sasanishiki from Ichihasama. Suki. I prefer the green hode nasu in winter, though.

Japanese>English

It is a local sake, but I first heard about it through "Sake-no-wa" and bought it at a sake store in the northern part of the prefecture. My daughter bought it at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station a couple of times before she got married. Strangely enough, I could not remember any other person's sake. 　It has a fruity aroma and taste like peaches, with a nice sharp aftertaste. (Mrs. Fujinami's impression) 　It was too rich for me and I did not understand it well. It became easier to drink when I tried it on the rocks.

Japanese>English

Summer version of hode nasu 🍆. First time I've ever purchased summer ✨. It's completely different from the winter version, crispy 😳 almost no acidity! I prepared a steak with the winter flavor, but I ate it with yesterday's leftover mansaku and ate the hode nasu with edamame and cucumbers 😅. Hode nasu in summer is more like sushi or pickles than meat 🤔.

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

Japanese>English

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.

Second bottle of Rakurakutsuru. It is a brewed sake with a very high degree of alcohol (19-20 💦). I bought a small bottle because I wasn't sure, but I might as well have bought a big one. The regular size was a square bottle, which is an unusual shape for sake. I think it is best to drink it on the rocks, but you can also drink it straight, but I'm afraid of the aftertaste 😁. There are similar types of sake such as ice breaker, but I think it has a clear taste in comparison. I recommend it for summer👍

Japanese>English

Went out to eat Izushi soba with my family👍. After dinner, we stopped by a nearby sake brewery. I often visit Izushi, but this was my first time to visit this brewery. I think this is probably the only junmai I've ever had. I recommend this sake at room temperature👍. Cold sake has an overly pronounced acidity, but it can be drunk neatly. At room temperature, the sweetness is more easily felt and the overall balance is better. In addition, I drank it hot and felt the spiciness strongly, but it was very smooth. You can enjoy the change in taste with the change in temperature 😁.
