(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened our first bottle of Sun today 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 😊. The taste is slightly dry with a gentle umami and sweetness that is balanced just right 🤔The crisp mouthfeel makes me want to drink it over and over again 🥰. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed with something to eat or on its own 🥳.

(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 Purchases from my trip to Tohoku 😀 I found a cup at Maxvalue in Yamagata prefecture that looks exactly like Kikuyu's 👀🤣I wanted a limited edition Daiginjo, but I got this one 😁It's a Hatsusun Honjozo 😇. The alcohol content is 16 degrees, so it's more gentle than the original 😊Alcoholic aroma, sourness and umami 😚After the rich umami and a hint of sweetness, it has a clean aftertaste from the aluzoe 😇This is a delicious sake 🥳.

ᐠ( ᐢᐢ )ᐟ🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Tenjo Yumegen today 😋. Can't really detect the aroma after opening the bottle 🤔. When I drink it, I can feel the smooth mouthfeel😊Gentle umami of rice🌾😘The acidity and umami in the aftertaste are well balanced and soft 😚. I felt it was the best sake for a meal 🥳.

A reminder of 8/7 🍶. Drop in for a drink at work - ⤴️✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

Shishimai Fuunroku Part 3 The next point of rest and ga-in is Tenjo Yumegen This label commemorates the 100th anniversary of Maruka Kensetsu, located in the same area as Nakayu Sake Brewery. The contents are probably the same as the regular Tokujun, but it is only at local festivals that this kind of sake is served as a sacred sake. However, I am not sure if this label is "Yamato" or "Taiwa". It has been a long time since I have tasted Tenjo Mugen, and while it has a dry base, it is slightly sweet, has a strong umami flavor, and has a nice acidity and bitterness. Once again, I realize that it is a local sake. Thank you very much!

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 😆.

At home. At the beginning of drinking, I felt that it had a strong alcohol feeling, but as it progressed to two or three glasses, it changed to a milder taste. The aftertaste is refreshing and light, and it is a versatile sake that can be paired with any food.

Japanese>English

Fresh sake with a gorgeous spring breeze 🍶. It is a sake that has a sharpness in addition to the flavor of rice. Tempura of spring vegetables as a side dish.

Japanese>English

A gift from a relative. It's been a long time since I drank koryu and I don't buy daiginjo by myself so it's good😄. It's a little bit luxurious from the stopper😁. It has a fresh and fruity aroma and the attack is rather dry and watery. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great beer. The taste is as refined as you would expect and does not interfere with the taste of the meal. The official website recommends sashimi of white fish and steamed clams, but it fits the image exactly👍.

The aroma is not so much but a little peachy 🍑? It is fresh on the palate with a gentle sweetness and rice flavor 🌾😋 It is a delicious sake that finishes with a bit of an alkali aftertaste 😆👍✨.

At a soba restaurant selected as one of the 100 best soba restaurants in "EAT LOG". I was lost in the many dishes on the menu and decided to go with my favorite "Kamo Seiro" and a decanter of Kanazawa-ya sake. It was recommended as dry, but it was soft rather than refreshingly dry. It was delicious!

Tonight, I'm still in X'mas mode + I'm dropping my first series 💁. Tsuneyama Sparkling Nigori Sake 2023BY ✨🫧. I'm on a nigori road, but I'm not able to keep up with it because I want to buy more and more one after another 😅 So, let's drink it right away. This sake is also made from 100% Gohyakumangoku. The bottle was opened safely, but the gas came up and the lees were like a cloud. ☁️ Automatic stirring is complete 🫡. The aroma is clean with a nice lactic acidity and the taste is very dry with bitterness and alcohol as the main ingredients 😋😋😋😋 This sake is even drier than Hirotogawa Nigori, so it is suitable for those who prefer dry sake and can be served as a food wine 🍶.

Japanese>English

I heard that a liquor store in Saitama has so few bottles of hanpukai sake that the owner doesn't drink any. I thought to myself, "That's a lie, right? As the guide says, it is a juicy attac, but it is sharply cut. It is delicious. Shoyuki was good, but Tsuneyama is also good. I like the local liquor store's hanpukai because they don't charge for shipping. This month is the last one, so I'm sad to see it go, but I'm looking forward to it.

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 😋

It was sweet to the taste. But the taste is still refreshing. In short, my favorite 😋🍶.
