This is my first time to drink with my friend from Kochi! ...It goes well with sashimi... I want to drink it with raw bonito...mellow and dry! I like it... delicious...

Japanese>English

〰fixture 2020BY Kochi Yeast Gin no Yume 🌾 Kochi Prefecture 2021/11 Brewed with care and attention to detail The best taste as expected 😋.

Japanese>English

Last weekend, I hung around the town of Shichigahama. We enjoyed the new seaweed festival, and although we did a bit of fishing, the bite was not so good at this time of year with the low tide, so we had a very productive Sunday. We stopped by a liquor store owned by a former junior colleague of mine. The aroma of the top shelf is a rich ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is dry, as is typical of Kochi sake, but the umami is also present. It has a slight sake-like aftertaste and finishes with a mild acidity and bitterness. When heated, the rice aroma becomes more pronounced, giving it a more sake-like flavor. The bitter taste at the end is also a nice mature taste. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Acidity Fruity Fizzy Juicy Citrusy Sharp Invigorating Wine

Yamamoto 1

Yamamoto 2

Yamamoto 3

The concept of the first Yamamoto is "Yamahai brewed sake to be drunk chilled". The aroma is of rice with a hint of sourness and bitterness... .... The aftertaste is very sharp. It is a sake that should be cooled down to a crisp. The mouthfeel is complex...there is no sweetness at all. I'm having bonito with silver skin, myoga with sesame oil, and fried oysters as snacks.... It goes well with sashimi....delicious....

Japanese>English

Made from natural Akita cedar wood vats. The aroma is distinctly different from that of a ginjo. The label is also very pleasing. It has a solid flavor of rice, but If they don't call it a "hoarding It's so beautifully sweet you can't tell.

Japanese>English

It was another irresistibly hot day 🥵. On days like this, I toast with this one that looks cool and refreshing 👏. The strong sourness is nice and refreshing. It's not sweet so it's easy to drink with a meal and the slight fizziness is pleasant ☺️. It's not too sweet, so it's easy to drink with food.

Aomori Sake Inamuraya I used to drink outside. Special Junmai was done. There are not many check-ins for this sake. It's a sake from Aomori, so... This time, we've been taking our time with the fruity sakes we've been enjoying lately, and this one is freshly brewed and dry. It's a bit of a quirk, but it's very crisp and clean. I don't heat sake. I don't warm sake, but I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It's also good when it's settled down. It's also good when it's settled down.

Omachi rice + Hakuto yeast used Junmai sake produced by the TAKEO 20 Project, a collaboration of agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students, using specially cultivated Omachi rice from Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City. The label looks modern! This one is definitely fruity 😆. Fruity sweet and sour Light and easy to drink Hiruzen style yakisoba noodles and umaumaumauma 🐎. I bought a lot of kamaboko at Sakaiminato because they are easy to carry and store 🐟. The crab has a very interesting shape and I can't stop smiling just looking at it 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀. I found out about it thanks to the Kenmin Show program 😁.

ISHICHI Junmai Ginjo Asahimai Made with water from the headwaters of the Takahashi River Unfiltered unpasteurized sake Price: 1,345 yen (tax included) October 06, 2022 Purchased at Tenmanya Kurashiki I bought this bottle on a business trip to Okayama. This is my first bottle of "Ishichi" Asahi rice, one of the brands that got me into the sake swamp. It has a nutty, savory, full-bodied flavor with a strong impression of rice sweetness rather than a fruity sweetness 🤤. I knew it! Great cosmetics too 😆.

The aroma is gorgeous and firm muscat 🍇The polish is 33% and there is a little sweetness from the beautiful rice 🌾, but it is still very sharp 🤩They say it is super dry, but I found it very beautifully dry. I found it very beautiful and dry 🥰.

Tenma Daijukai (¡°Tenma Sake Association¡±) This sake is named after Governor Yoshimura And an illustration of a mysterious person on the label Where is Governor Yoshimura? Where? It's a very typical mature, slightly dry junmai sake, and it's good warmed up. It's the type of sake I'd like to drink on a regular basis, but it's more of a souvenir. I misunderstood. I'd like to buy it if it were available!

Japanese>English

Tenma Taishukai 2024 ④ The day before, I tasted Sakakamatsu from this brewery at a liquor store in Ikuno Ward. He asked me if I was going to the Tenma Sake Festival. I've been to this brewery and bought sake before. I think it was a brewery in Osaka, but closer to Wakayama and near a fishing port. I drank Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Nemuchi-san confirmed with the brewery that it was the same Sakakamatsu Natsusei that I drank the day before. Hmmm? When I drank it the day before, I had the impression that it was a summer sake with good flavor and drinkability, but something is different... Is it the temperature range? It seems too thin or too light 🤔. Summer Ginjo This is also a summer sake. Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but this one is spicier.

Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City. Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on. This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake! This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.

Japanese>English

A challenge themed drink, apparently😊. I don't know about the details but it's neat😄. I don't know the details, but it's refreshing 😋

Japanese>English

Aizu Shikon Junmai Ginjo White Koji Brewing I bought a bottle of Aizu Shikon as a souvenir from my parents' home in Aizuwakamatsu. It is bitter and sharp, with a hint of gas, sweetness, and apple flavor. I feel the assertion of bitter rather than sweet and sour from white malted rice. For those who don't like sweet sake 👍
