Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

Japanese>English

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔. Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well. After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.

Japanese>English

First impressions are a sharp taste with a dry finish. There is sweet apple flavor with a hint of wood / taru. Good combination with foods that are on the salty side. This is a limited Sake.

It was so mellow and easy to drink that it didn't even feel like it had 20 alcohol by volume 👍 Of course, I was drunk😅.

Japanese>English

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part75 Gunma 6 Mr. Takai in Fujioka City! I think they had closed their brewery for some reasons and were shipping out their stock, but I saw on SNS that they have started brewing again. I see that they have also released a draft sake. I drank a bottle of nama sake about 4 years ago when the warehouse was already closed, so it was a slightly matured one. Polishing ratio 55%, domestic rice, 15 degrees, Sake degree +2, Acidity 1.6, 1401 yeast? 1747 yen I thought it would be matured, so I was disappointed with its clean taste and no sense of maturity😅. I wonder if there are any liquor stores far from Takatsuki station or south of Kyoto station 🤔.

Japanese>English

Iwao Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo Nama Sake [Gunma Prefecture Takai]. Sharp melon sensation with a hint of sweetness. Lingering bitterness. Flashy and flamboyant. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 17 to 18 degrees Celsius Water used for brewing: Ayukawa subsoil water

#OsakaUmeda# I have an important meeting, I arrived in Osaka. Actually, I arrived early, I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆. I had this before the meeting. Sweet and sticky 🐴.... I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

You can always find it at any supermarket 🤗. It's easy to drink because it's low in alcohol and has a fizzy feel👍 It is similar to Mio in taste, but I think I like it better than Mio. At any rate, I like the fact that you can drink it without any snacks 😆👍👍.

Japanese>English

Super oicy❕. A true sparkling wine 🍷✨💠. But the rice aroma and taste is still there❗️ I can't get enough of this! I enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

My wife likes it, so I buy it whenever it's on sale. It's easy to drink and it's delicious ✨.

Today, I went out to buy alcohol 🚗 and while I was there... I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 😅 which was talked about for a while 😅 a long time ago. I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 🍶😊. First of all, I'll have it on the rocks as recommended. Mmmm... perfect for an introduction to Sake ⁉️ No, no 💦 it's a bit weak to feel the sake 😅. But it's sweet and easy to drink so it might be good 🥰.

Japanese>English

Saw it in a convenience store and bought it. Low alcohol sake with 5% alcohol content I'm not a strong sake drinker, so I get a little drunk after 2-3 gos of sake, but this one looks like it won't get me drunk at all! It's like a juice! No "shwashy" feeling, sweetness comes first, then sourness. The taste does not linger so much. It tastes like sakekasu (sake lees), and it's a taste of sake. There is a slightly peculiar aroma in the nose (a little bit bitter). I wish all sake were this low in alcohol content so I could try different flavors... Serve with Gouda cheese and salmon kimchi The cheese has a peculiar aroma that disappears nicely and goes well with the sake. Kimchi may not be a good match because the taste is too strong and all you can taste is the sourness of the argos.
