I tasted it during the New Year holidays. I thought it was arabashiri, but the staff mistakenly put shiboritate in it 🤣. It was fresh and easy to drink even though it had been fired once.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Aged Sake✨Snow❄️☃️ Aged sake, light yellow in color. Cold sake, matured, Daruma Masamune-like. Not heavy, warmed to 60 degrees. Soft around the edges. Mellow. ☺️ It's still a sake for warming up. I served it with scallop sashimi sent from my relatives in Hokkaido 😋The scallops were huge and delicious💕. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki.

𓂃🫧 Purchased with Hakuginumi Calpis soda for adults(*ฅ́˘˘ฅ̀*)♡ Reasonably priced🎶. When you drink Calpis soda, you'll notice that it's a photo 3️⃣🙀. It tends to be dry when paired with shime saba So... I drank it while eating fried chicken I drank it while eating snacks and drank half of it in no time 😂😂. Izakaya shinkansen🚄drama I want to drink 🍶´- and go on a trip when I'm watching it ヾ(⌒(ノシ｀>ㅿ<)ノシ(⌒(ノシ｀>ㅿ<)ノシ)

Japanese>English

I used only ayu (sweetfish) for this dish. I also served bonito and Spanish mackerel tataki with a lot of myoga. It has a slightly high alcohol content and sweetness for a Niigata sake, so it went well with the ayu fish, bonito and Spanish mackerel. It was a good evening drink.

Japanese>English

Local liquor store on the line... ♪ Fruity flavor and a slight effervescence. Highly recommended for those who want a little sweet nigori! I heard that it is a very good choice for those who want to drink a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. I had to try it! I bought it in a hurry: ‼️ After returning home, I opened the bottle slowly, little by little. The white ooze that had accumulated at the bottom of the bottle danced and danced like snow every time air entered the bottle. Dancing. Dancing. And then, the taste is just as delicious as I imagined, and I dance, too.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

Japanese>English

I have never seen this label before. It is a bit old and peculiar, but overall it is a delicious sake.

Sake Day I wanted to open something from the fridge😅. I've never heard of this sake before but I've been curious about it since Mariponnu's check-in 😊. First Koimari! I can't imagine how good it smells from the label. It's very fruity and sweet! It also has a nice exit feeling. The finish is clean and crisp👍👍.

The sea and @Takadanobaba 20240227

Japanese>English

the rice is falling like a snowstorm Sweet like an apple. The taste is round, sweet, and beautiful. There is a bit of bitterness towards the end, but it is delicious. It is not that sweet, but the lingering taste in the mouth and nose is quite fruity. A little bit of pineapple. I would like to try a variety of Toirai, but Fujiidera is a little far away from here, so I wish there would be more distributors of Toirai. According to what I heard at the liquor store, they don't seem to be actively trying to increase the number of distributors... On the third day, it seems to have a stronger pineapple taste.

We moved our company to a new location. Rokka Brewery's new brand 😊🍶. I hope you all will If you have a chance Try it 😊🍶🍶.

Sentoku, a gift from Sentoku...Junmai is a traditional ...the... Junmai is a traditional sake...the local sake! It's a little bit different from the popular sake...but I think it's a good sake for a meal. I don't like Ginshizuku and Kinshizuku because they are alkaloids... Thanks for the hard-to-find sake 🍶... Hmmm... I guess that's what general sake is like.... Now I have to go to Okinawa...

Ordered to win the national championship. The rice has a robust flavor. It is surprisingly easy to cut. Perfect with meat dishes.

I wish I could have been there to see it all! The other day I walked past the liquor section of a large supermarket and found a familiar name for a sake 😁I found Chitoku, the gateway to Miyazaki Prefecture 🐎 breaking through the impregnable castle gate of Miyazaki Prefecture 🐎. It's a cup of sake, but it's a celebration. If I hadn't seen the sakenowa, I wouldn't have noticed it. Thank you all 😄😄😄.

Aroma: A twang and an alcohol smell? Despite the package, it has a traditional sake feel 🍶...with 80% polished rice, it is a robust, rugged sake...full of wild flavor. You can taste the umami of the rice because of the low rice polishing. It seems to be a good marriage with "Ota Horumon". .... But I'm drinking it at home, with chicken yakiniku, meat 🍖 and other snacks....

Japanese>English

Local sake...the package does not lie! Fresh and fruity...sweet rice aroma, sweet mouthfeel! A good bitterness in the aftertaste...a little sweet...Teimatsu is also this kind of sake...I think it's better to drink it sipping it rather than as a food sake...delicious 😋...

Japanese>English

I went to the brewery to buy it... The fruity aroma is a far cry from the fruity aroma, but it's a manly brew, 19 degrees, rich and dry. As the alcohol content is high, you can feel the sweetness of the Omachi flavor... on the rocks... With chicken sashimi as a side dish and yuzu ponzu as a side dish, the chicken skin is sipping in yuzu ponzu...

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

Smell of pineapple Slightly ripe pineapple flavor with a hint of pineapple candy, sweet and clean, with good flavor on the palate, a bit of bitterness on the finish, and a nice sharpness. Delicious. When the temperature rises, the sweet rice flavor and alcohol taste. It is better to cool it down.

Japanese>English

Today, we had a party with my family... and I opened a bottle of Hanahayo... and poured only the top clear liquid into the glass... it is a light amber color, pineapple aroma... and the taste is sweet and delicious... I guess it has a good balance... when you drink it with a little bitterness... it is even more delicious... .......even more delicious......in my opinion, it is a "Winner🏅♪"! We had a delicious party with my favorite sake and horse sashimi....

It is not written on the label, but according to the liquor store's explanation, it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Omachi. It was purchased together with Tsururei Nigori at Tanaka Shoten. It has a fresh taste like a nama-shu, and the sweetness and spiciness are in balance. Refreshing and fruity. Gentle sweetness with a sense of thickening.

2023 Ginjo Shinshu Matsuri🍶. You can feel the umami of rice well. Dry 🍶.

Japanese>English

The third cup went to "sake-ichisoku"! Thick, grape-like aroma. The mouthfeel is full, with a tangy, pungent, classic flavor. It goes well with mushrooms to enjoy a moment of old-fashioned feeling! The sake itself is smooth and silky, so the lightness and the thickness of the flavor are a good accent👍.
