Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

Japanese>English

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.

The second drink at the Sacred Bar was "Kaguyahime," which is very Kyoto-like. It was fresh and sweet on the palate, so it went better with grilled white onions than sashimi.

Japanese>English

Yamamoto Honke had a store at Sendai Mitsukoshi in conjunction with the Kyoto Exhibition. I look forward to Yamamoto Honke's "tarekuchi" every year at this time of the year, but it seems to take about one more week before it is shipped, so I did not get it this year either. The aroma is a fresh ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is fruity, fresh, sweet, and juicy, with a light acidity and bitterness from the aftertaste of alcohol. It has a high quality, classical, and sharp taste, and is very satisfying to drink. Thank you very much!

Japanese>English

A "sacred" store found near Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Great cold drink when you are finally able to sit down after a long day of walking 😀. It was slightly carbonated and went down my throat so well I didn't mind the 19% alcohol content 😅. You can't tell the alcohol content in modern sakes. Beautiful construction.

Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Japanese>English

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

Japanese>English

How to drink:Room temperature Aroma: This is the first time I have smelled it. It is very difficult to describe, but it smells more like shochu than sake. Taste: Dry. It tastes sweet for a moment when swallowed, but it does not linger in the mouth. I think it is one of the driest sake I have ever tasted.

At Kaki-numa. I'm not sure how many times I've heard of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Lucky👍 I bought a bottle of autumn wine 😋 for good measure. Just the right amount of age! The flavor of the food tickles my autumnal appetite 😅 It's the season for good drinks and snacks 😁

Japanese>English

Purchased at Fujisaki, Sendai. Sake that makes a pshhhh sound when you open it. It is said to contain yeast. I want to support the rice fields of Fukushima by drinking it!

Suehiro Shuzo's Genzai. They also won a gold medal at the New Sake Competition for their Genzai daiginjo, but this is not that award-winning sake, but an affordable special junmai. It starts off with a piquant and refreshing sweet and sour taste! The taste is powerful with a strong sense of presence, but the alcohol content of 15 degrees makes it easy to drink and enjoy 👌. We are looking forward to adding this sake to our lineup next year and beyond 😊.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed at Suehiro Shuzo's Kaei warehouse. When I hear the name "Genzai," I think of the daiginjo that was entered in the sake competition. I hesitate to buy it because it is a bit expensive, but this special junmai sake (nama-shu, hi-iru) is reasonably priced and easy to pick up. I am looking forward to the next year, when there will be more varieties of sake. As for the sake, the aroma is like apples. When I drank it, I smelled cemedine😅. The sake is fresh and has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. I thought maybe I don't like cemedine, but I drank more than half of it in no time and regretted it. It is easy to drink. The second day, the cemedine is also good. If this is the case, it's a special pure Cemedine.

Japanese>English

We were able to obtain the much talked about Genzai. I don't remember how many years ago it was at Suehiro, but I still remember that I enjoyed the sake brewery tour and was impressed by the sake jelly and plum wine. Now, here it is, with a nice pop when the bottle is opened. It has a gaseous feeling. It doesn't smell that bad, but when you put it in your mouth, it tastes sweet and sour like an apple! I was completely caught off guard. I was completely caught off guard. I never expected such a modern sake due to my assumption that Suehiro was more of a classic sake. ‼️ It's so delicious. I think it's going to explode in popularity in the near future.

Here is the fourth drink at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Hizen Kurashin Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire It has sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity. It is more umami than sweetness, and the acidity and sourness support each other.

Japanese>English

Kashima City HAMA BAR section is still going on😊. Here is the 7th cup in total! Hizen Kurashin Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Hi-ire The last time we drank this was Omachi, but this one is made with the best rice in the sake brewing world, Mohansei! It is ama, delicious, bitter, and sharp! It also has plenty of acidity! It tastes as good as you'd expect.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Osan Nishiki It is not a simple light dry taste, but you can feel a little sweetness in the bitterness and spiciness. The flavor is just like the name "Super Dry", and there is a part that makes you think "high alcohol content❗️", but it is not spicy, and you can feel the tenderness. Also, there is a freshness that can be imagined from the color of the label, and it is a sake that is easy to drink with good sharpness. Naturally, I recommend it as a food sake❣️.

Today we are in Hitachinokuni, right above Makabe. Smell is a little light. The taste is a little cemedine, soft but I think it is a little bit weak in taste. I can't feel many attacks. thanks Liquor Shop Kinase (Mito)

Japanese>English

@SAKE Street Rice used is Nihonbare There are still some good sake in Ibaraki that we don't know about yet. ❗️ It is mild on the palate, with an impressive soft sweetness. The umami has depth and strength. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also 👌. You can enjoy various expressions depending on the temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. ❣️
