The first sake was a souvenir from Ibaraki by my eldest son and his wife. A sake with a delicious taste of rice 🍶. Thank you for caring about us❗❗

Good skipjack: ❗️❗️ Third image, this is the bonito I had yesterday 🐟. It was so delicious❤️ And I'm definitely a garlic person for skipjack 🧄. I'm definitely a garlic person when it comes to bonito  and I'm going with Matsumori from Ibaraki. It's very refreshing and brings out the flavor of the bonito without interfering with the bonito. I have been enjoying all the sake from Ibaraki lately. Well, I'm a person who likes anything as long as it has alcohol in it... 😇 The fourth picture is shirasu (baby sardine) kakiage. You don't know what shirasu is until you eat it.

Purchased at Nakamura Sake Shop in Toride. The aroma is of a pulpy red type of melon, a bit like a smooth chervil, and the sake lees flavor is not too strong. The taste is heavy, with other elements more noticeable than the smoothness of the raw sake. The alcohol content is 19%, but it is not too strong and punchy. I looked at the production date and found that it was dated 24.11...but it looks like it was released last year. I bought this sake because I wanted to drink a nama-shu, but I guess it was not the right sake for this time of the year when hiyaoroshi sake is distributed. It's normally tasty, but maybe for a cooler time of year. It has a sweetness, but it is not spread out in a mischievous way, and the center of gravity is heavy and cohesive.

Got it in Muikamachi.......opened the bottle! ...lively...lively...slightly effervescent...fruity aroma...I'll have the top clearnin'! Sweet but smooth... let's mix in some lees... kooooooooooo yummy... we're sipping it with Kurosaki brown beans from Niigata, salmon from Shinshu, and char sashimi... no good... we're drinking too much... ...

Japanese>English

Just as the orange label implies, The mellow sweetness is reminiscent of pineapple. It is also very cost-effective, making it a true "Takachiyo".

Japanese>English

It has a fruity smell with a hint of koji. It is slightly carbonated, has a wooden vat feel, is sweet and sour, and has a pleasantly sour lemon-like acidity that comes later and finishes off without the stimulation of alcohol. Yum! It is a fruit wine. The taste in the middle is also strong! It starts to get sweet, but it blends in and you don't mind it. It did not go well with food. It is a surprise taste that works well on its own.

Today, my wife and son bought some Hakuryu Nigori👍 at a nearby Aeon. Thanks for telling me that you saw Hakuryu nigori sake with a warning sign on it so you bought it for me ❣️ I've been drinking beer and shochu on the days we don't have sake at home, but it doesn't suit my constitution or something 😅I wake up at least 3 times during the night and rush to the bathroom 🤔❓I'm still not sure if it's the amount of sake I drink or the fact that it's alcoholic or not 🤔❓ Well then, open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is lactic acid with a hint of alcohol. The taste is also lactic acidic with a strong carbonation 👍It has 18% alcohol by volume so if I finish it, I will get very drunk 🤣. I'd recommend it more as a standalone drink than as a food drink 😆.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, light and dry nigori sake. It's been a while since I've had a Shiryu from Niigata, but I get the impression that they make a good value for money Ginjo-shu. Chilled tofu with "leek and ginger", which I got because I was curious about it from Supoyo's post.

Japanese>English

I'm going to post some more pictures today😅. Made entirely from Echigo Gohyakumangoku and brewed with wine yeast. I thought it would be stylish✨. It's a sweet white wine style. I'm sure you'll love it!

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.

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

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.

I bought it at the warehouse. 2/3 of It was delicious with nabe (hot pot). It also went well with the sea bream rice we had at a restaurant with a view of the Shimanami Kaido Road. I'm sure it would go well with the sea bream rice we had at a restaurant overlooking the Shimanami Highway. I'm sure.

Bought it at the warehouse! 3/3 of It feels like Ehime's sake. I wish I could go back!

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

- ̗̀ ꒰ঌ(^o^) ໒꒱ ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been a while since I've had Shuho's Zhuyin 😀 I drink the fire-brewed version every year, but this might be the first time I've had the draft 🦆. The aroma is as gorgeous as ever 🌸😊The sweetness and umami that is typical of Shu Yin spreads as you sip it 😚The taste has little bitterness and a nice sharpness from the lingering bitterness that is just right 😘. This is the perfect sake for my tastes 👍This strong sweet and umami is still a delicious sake ✨🥳✨.

(*^▽^)/★*☆☆♪🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a great way to get a taste of what it's like to be in the middle of the action. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste of the rice is lightly acidic and refreshing. It is very delicious😇.

Ψ( 'omega'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I bought a bottle of Shuho Hiyayogoshi for the first time in a year, so I opened it 😋. The aroma is mildly sweet and umami 😊The mouthfeel is smooth, with a gentle sweetness and umami 😚The aftertaste is also refreshing, so it's a delicious guy who never gets tired of drinking 🥰. I think it's a delicious sake that has no quirks and can be enjoyed by everyone 🥳.

Another brand of Imi no Kura! They say it's the same tank as the Jun Gin from the Imi brewery. It has sourness and bitterness in the sweetness that is typical of Imi. It's like a sake-within-a-sake! I've reserved a bottle for next season and I'm looking forward to it😆.

Japanese>English

It's been a long time since I've been to Ruyi❣️. Seems like it's very busy and hard to get reservations. Here's to another reunion with old friends! We started with nigori sake. Sweet and tasty from the acidity.

Japanese>English

Chiyonohana Shiboritate Special Junmai Sake. Aged in ice temperature for 6 months. Aroma: The aroma is high and pleasant, including iso with a milky graininess. The taste is thick and mellow on the tongue, with a strong sweetness and acidity that is characteristic of the Sugihara Sake Brewery at first, followed by a soft sweetness. In the latter half, there is a momentary seme and bitterness, and the bitterness of this bitterness is a taste that accompanies the sweetness of the meal. Overall, the body is a bit heavy and would definitely go well with regional food. It is a quintessential Urazumi taste.

I got a bottle of Senkyu's "Kirifuri" on a business trip to Utsunomiya the other day...fruity aroma, strong acidity and bitterness? It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and a strong bitterness. I think it's a good sake for a meal...I had sardine nigiri and on the second day, I had yakitori as a side dish...I feel this sake is better when the bottle is opened. It has some peculiarities...but...it's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is a piece of bread I bought on my way back from a trip to Kirifuri Kogen. I thought it was the perfect name for a souvenir, but I was surprised to find it was made by Senkou 😳. I've been storing it at room temperature for a while now because it's been heat-treated. But I thought it would be better to drink it cold, so I put it in the fridge and drank it. The best thing about this product is that it has the gas and acidity that I like, even if it has been heated.

Japanese>English

It's always a repeat drink: ❗️ It's a four-pack, but I'd buy it by the square if it were available 😤 lol It's tart and delicious✨

(^_^)🍶🍶🍶+ GW Tohoku Tour (2) 🍶Drinking set 🍶 at Izakaya 🏮 in the basement of the station 📐 with Definition Mountain Fried Tofu 📐. I think it was a clear and dry sake that goes well with food 🤔.

Japanese>English

A bottle given to me by my predecessor, who recently reached retirement age. He said it was a thank-you for the 3 kg of new rice he delivered every year during his tenure, which he called a "taste test. Rice has become sake! The nose has a fruity ginjo aroma, but the fragrance is subdued. The mouthfeel has a gentle, round sweetness and a satisfying umami. The fruity feeling that passes through the nose and the mild acid bitterness that comes at the end disappear slowly and gently. I had an image that Houyo was not my favorite, but this is good! I can say that when it comes to high-class wines, this one is genuinely tasty. Thank you very much for the sake!

Japanese>English

It is said to be the oldest brewery in Miyagi Prefecture. Fresh and mellow. The acidity is strong. I wonder if it is better to let it sit for a while after opening it. As expected, sweetness appeared on the 3rd day. I wonder if Houyou tastes better on the third day 🤔.
