Purchased at a local liquor store...Yamada Nishiki, ✖️ Gohyakumangoku = Koshitanrei, 100% sake rice from Niigata Prefecture. Sweet! It's more of a drink to enjoy on its own than a midday drink... it's a beginner's drink... women will love it... and since it's unfiltered, it's unfiltered, you can drink it on the rocks with ice... yup!

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and sweet. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness of rice is a little different from the fruity flavor. I wonder if it is. Cold sake was delicious.

Japanese>English

Koshitanrei. Sweetness from the periphery to the aftertaste. With a fresh umami taste.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

- ̗̀(˶^Insertion'˶)b🍶🍶🍶🍶+ On the second day of our GW trip, we went to Himeji Castle Mountains. Himeji Castle, a national treasure, was well worth seeing 😃. For souvenirs, we went to Yaegaki's store at Himeji Station 😄I bought a limited edition special junmai recommended to me ✨. The aroma is fresh and muscat-like 😚The taste is fresh and the acidity comes forward and is refreshing ✨It has a nice sharpness 😊I felt like it would be a delicious sake for the summer 🥳.

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. It was not that spicy and easy to drink. It was different from the image I had in my mind. As the pop-up says, it is also surprisingly gorgeous. I guess because Tenryaka is made from organically grown rice, you can find it in natural food stores. The regular Amataka is particularly dry, and the organic series doesn't seem to be that dry.

Japanese>English

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. Nemuchi was hesitant to drink Tenryaka because it was dry, so I encouraged him to try Kuho Series, saying it was fruity. I have been avoiding Tenryaku until now. I was surprised to find that the sparingly spiced Kuo series is not spicy but rather sweet and delicious. I'm sorry I've been avoiding this sparring even if I saw it at a liquor store.

続いては｢天鷹｣を開栓！開栓すると先の｢惣誉｣と同じようなスッキリ甘い香り。口当たりはコッテリ味があって穏やかさを感じる味わい。お米の旨味+渋味がこちらはしっかり感じられてお茶やコーヒーっぽく感じます。渋味主体のちょい甘味が体感的には緑茶感ある美味しさです🍵 小さい頃から鬼怒川には毎年来てるので、今回の新型特急には感慨深いものがありました。沿線各地で手を振ってくださる方々や温泉に身も心も温まる1日でした👍

Japanese>English

Rice used is Sakonishiki At first, I thought it was sweet⁉️, but soon I felt the spiciness. It is a dry sake like Japanese sake. I think it tastes better when it is heated up.

Japanese>English

It was developed by a female brewer in 2004 and is said to be a sake for women. It has a slightly sweet taste with a sake content of -3, but the alcohol content is high at 18 degrees. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The aroma of the rice is strong in the mouthfeel. The sweetness is followed by a crisp dry aftertaste✨.

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Japanese>English

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Japanese>English

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Today, too, I wanted to drink. I went to Tobu Ikebukuro for the first time in a while 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️. In the event corner, I found 🟪The pink label stands out! It's a sake from Kyoto, isn't it⤴︎︎? I'm going to choose this one 💁🏼♂️️. Open the bottle! ✨Pon~✨and a surprisingly good sound! Then, a sip... the rice flavor from the mouthful of acidity ⤴︎ and the aftertaste, great! It's delicious 😋!

@ Daikokuya Liquor Store Maniacal selection of products, I thought I would go back. Rice used is Kame-no-o. It has a gaseous taste with a crisp and clean aftertaste. It is gorgeous. The sweetness is a little strong, but it goes in smoothly. It was a solid and delicious sake ❗️.

Japanese>English

Nanamaru's Nama Sake 🍶. As always, a bold drink! Plenty of umami stored in the bottle The strong acidity also tightens the taste. Sake that is quite drinkable! It has been a long time since I wanted to drink it. I got the news of new sake! I will enjoy it slowly.

Purchased at a local liquor store during an expedition to Gunma! I opened the bottle with the caution ⚠️ in mind when opening the bottle...! Even though I was aware of it, I was surprised‼️ aroma: a faint, fruity aroma of rice, and already, a shriek! It's already a sparkling wine...this is delicious 😋I examined it while feeling the high quality...Gunma's local sake is not to be underestimated...it's delicious 🍶.

🏠 White koji brewing The color is yellowish 👀 A refreshing sake with an easily recognizable acidity ❣️ It's easy to drink because of the 12% alcohol content. It ran out quickly😁. Tastes great on its own 🎶.

🏠 It has a fruity aroma. Jiggle from the clear feeling~(॑ッc) mmmm! I like it on its own, but but I also like the crispness of the food wine. I should have bought Tokujun and Jungin at once to compare 🤔.

Shotoku Junmai Daiginjo Kyo Purchased at Tomiya in Kyoto Station. It is a Kyoto souvenir. It is brewed with celebratory rice produced in Kyoto. Soft to dry in the mouth. It has a sour taste and is delicious. The accompaniment is dried mackerel with mirinboshi. That's right, it goes well with mackerel.

Japanese>English

The label is "Shotoku" in katakana, a novelty. We use 100% of Kyoto's original sake rice "Shukyu"! It's not easy to drink in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo!

Kyushu Tour. Recommended in. It is sharp from the flavor of rice. Goes well with meals.

Japanese>English

Last sake I bought last year as a Kumamoto souvenir. If I have a chance to visit Kumamoto again, I would like to visit Aso and Kikuchi area 😌. When opened and poured, it has a sweet aroma like sugar and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is crisp and immediately afterwards has the plumpness of rice plus the sweet and spicy taste of brewer's alcohol. The flavor is stable from start to finish, with a delicious standard taste! The unadorned taste is a perfect accompaniment to a meal 👍. I would like to visit 4 unexplored prefectures (Kochi, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa), but there are many places I would like to revisit. 🗺️

Japanese>English

The first sake brewery. Sake made with Hananishiki rice and Kumamoto yeast. Slightly acidic. The harmony of sweet and spicy is well-balanced and easy to drink.
