At home. The first Yamanashi, the first day. It is the one for the summer. I had it cooled well, but it is refreshing and lightly dry. It is the summer sake which feels easy to drink. If you have it chilled or on the rocks, you will be able to open it immediately.

Yamanashi GET This sake has a sweet, fresh taste harmonized with a refreshing flavor. Accompanied by tuna and sea bream

Japanese>English

First Yamanashi sake ❣️ after my debut at Sake no Wa! I got the summer sake from Tang 😋. The label was refreshing and quite soppy😍. The taste is also refreshing 🏝. It tastes like melon🍈? Fruity, smooth, full and light, perfect for this time of the year 😆. This one will be available in no time at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted it, and it's as good as it should be.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

Japanese>English

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Japanese>English

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

Tonight, a little early in the evening & first in the series, a Fukunoka Yamahai Jungin Nakakkumi Unfiltered Nama from Kunigon ✨. The aroma is mild cucumber, melon 🍈 The taste has just the right amount of rice and honey-like sweetness, followed by a layer of acidity and spiciness that makes it very easy to drink and I love it 😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

With Ihyakumangoku and Fukushima's original yeast, there is nothing to look forward to but enjoyment. Is the modest fruity taste from Gohyakumangoku? It is mellow like an autumn sake. But it is sharp.

The sweetness is not too strong, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, and the dryness of the alcohol in the latter half makes it easy to drink. It is better to drink with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. It goes well with various chicken dishes. The fourth one, Tengu Mai Umeshu (plum wine), was also delicious, with a moderate sweetness that went well with the meal.

Trouble at work. I couldn't catch the last train for the first time in a while. If I was going to take a cab, I went to a late-night diner to have a meal before going home. I had a motsu nabe set meal and a beer, followed by a glass of Takashimizu. This Takashimizu is not like Rokugo-yeast. It was refreshing, but had a rice-like flavor. Good night.

I was able to get some free time during the day, so I went to the gym and worked out for an hour, then went straight to the bathhouse and had a nice, wide bathtub, and then had a long-overdue dinner. I started with a beer and then opened a bottle of "Hanagaki Ginjo" that my father-in-law gave me for New Year's. After the refreshing sweetness that is typical of Hanagaki, the umami flavor spreads out, leading directly to the rich aftertaste. It is relatively sweeter than most of Fukui's local sake, but it has no peculiarities and is easy to drink 😉. I'll have to consume it little by little since my cellar is overloaded with more sake from the New Year's holiday including this one 😁.

Japanese>English

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at Nanbu Shuzo Sake Brewery. You can drink it like Calpis soda. It is Calpis for adults.

Japanese>English

The one I bought after tasting it at Ikushima Shoten. Slightly effervescent. Melon-like aroma and taste. Bitter and spicy in the latter half. When I tasted it, it tasted sweeter, so I wonder if it will taste sweeter after a while. When I drank it again, it didn't feel spicy on the first day, but sweet and spicy. After a few days, it tastes like cemedine.

A cup of sake bought at the souvenir corner of Himeji station. I took a sip, thinking it was probably dry... Yes, it is dry. It is refreshing, but has a sourness. Sake from Hyogo Prefecture is basically dry.

Nutty aroma. Soft, with a bit of rice sweetness, bitterness, umami, and a touch of alcohol, it melts softly and is refreshingly gentle. It is delicious with meals. It is not tiring to drink, and I recommend it as you can drink it tomorrow as well.

Japanese>English

The aroma is like lactic acid bacteria of yogurt. The taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness. This is a good sake to drink while eating 😋. It's so good!

Japanese>English

Weak smell of thin apple slightly sour. Ohhhh good. Sparkling lemon-like acidity with a hint of sweetness, a little heavy on the acidity and rice flavor, then fading away to a gentle chile of bitterness. The acidity is firm and not too thin, and there is a slight sweetness, but the sweetness does not overpower the sourness and it is very refreshing. As you drink it, it becomes too familiar in your mouth and seems to disappear. When warmed up, it tastes sour and makes you drool from the back of your tongue. The second day. Sour, light and refreshing. Too easy to drink.

The third drink outside is Honkin😆. Dry Taichi Clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. It was perfect as a sake for a meal with a nice sharp taste.

Japanese>English

Honkin Normal Sake Yellow Label 1,800ml Alcohol added sake, koji rice 60%, kake rice 70%. This was purchased when we tasted it at the brewery last November. After six months had passed, the umami flavor seemed to have taken over. I think it was more smooth when it was first shipped. It was stored in a hallway with a refrigerator pan, so we will enjoy it before it gets too hot. I think I like it better when it returns to room temperature than when it is cold.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is characterized by its clear acidity. From the moment you put it in your mouth to the last lingering taste, it has a beautiful sourness and freshness, and the sweetness does not interfere with the taste, which is very delicious. You can't go wrong with any of Nagano's sakes, so you can't help but want to buy it.

I've known about this ice breaker for a while, but had somehow passed on it in Tamagawa. After seeing the many rave reviews on Sakenowa, I finally bought one 🙂. Oh, it's definitely thick and delicious! It's like a whiskey 👍. I'm convinced that it goes well on the rocks🤩. I was reminded that it's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. It's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. I will add this to my summer staples from now on👍.

Tamagawa is a place where I sometimes feel like drinking. Summer is the time for this 😋. Icebreaker ❤️ It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, but this time I drank it straight and sipped it until the end. The sense of satisfaction is the same as ever. It is full-bodied, strong, complex, sweet, and delicious. It can be served on the rocks, with water, as it is, or heated.
