Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

Classic type. Soft on the palate, dry in the middle, with a clean finish. Easy to drink. Very good as a food wine. Postscript Purchased at the Yaesu Antenna Shop after running on Monday.

@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku It's hard to say because it's my personal most favorite type of sake, but it's the best honjozo sake! It has the perfect ratio of deliciousness and dryness. I didn't drink the Junmai Ginjo because I posted about it before, but this is also a great sake!

Continued at Asano Sake Shop. Submission, I'll run out of power soon😅. For a long time, Shibotan was my father's favorite brand and he used to drink it well with hot sake. I was happy to find a draft of Funaka Hachisaku that I wanted to try. I didn't mind the super dryness of the sake, it had a subtle umami flavor and a crisp cut that left a sour taste, but it complemented the food with which it was served.

At home. First time for meikyojosui ministry. Moderate aroma, moderate alcohol content, and a refreshing finish. Nagano sake, there are so many kinds. It is a good sake to get drunk and I'm enjoying it little by little.

Holly in Aomori, Japan. First of all, ❣️ bottles are cute (((o(♡´▽`♡)o)))) I bought it thinking it would taste gorgeous. I bought it thinking it would taste gorgeous, but it didn't. It's a calm and sweet 😋. I had it with 🥒 and myoga 🎶. I'll use the jar as a single flower vase 🌸

The aroma is milder than expected, but slightly apple-like. When you drink it, the sugar sweetness and syrupiness are quite strong, but it is closer to a dry sake than expected, and it goes down quickly. It is better at room temperature, as it has a more modern apple sweetness. The limited edition sake might have been better, but it is not too modern, nor is it too classic.

As the brand name suggests, the acidity of this sake is like a breeze that passes through you comfortably. It is delicious, but it may taste even better on the second day when it has mellowed after being exposed to air.

It has a clear, yet subtly sweet and umami taste. The final acidity gives it a sharp edge. The taste has an atmosphere that it can be matured. I expected it to be a little sweeter and fruity, so I was disappointed... It has a thick and extractive mouthfeel. It has a nutty flavor but finishes with a refreshing acidity.

It has a very pleasant balance of sweetness that doesn't linger and a bitter aftertaste. ❣️ It is even better at higher temperatures. This is a good umami sake!

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I didn't find it too harsh, but my partner, who prefers a gorgeous sweet taste, found it too much for his palate. It is true that the alcohol taste comes first, and the mouthfeel is not smooth. As the day goes by, the corners are removed and it becomes more moderate, so it might be better to go out with it slowly, but I don't dislike it in this way.

Sweet rice aroma. When you drink it, you can taste a slight acidity and it is a sharp sake. It tastes like it could be drunk forever.

It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: ....

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.

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.

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👍.
