My parents-in-law gave me this sake as a souvenir from Tanba Sasayama. It's a completely unknown brand, so I was very nervous when I opened the bottle. Maybe it's because we've been drinking a lot of autumn sake lately, but it's surprisingly refreshing 😳 You can drink it easily without getting stuck. It has a faint sourness and a spiciness that comes afterwards, and then it goes away quickly. It's a sake made with clean water that goes well with all kinds of food. We enjoyed it with pork kimchi and horse mackerel sashimi. I want to drink it carefully, but it will probably be gone in two days☺️.

The one we got. This is a decansho-bushi, it seems. The flavor comes in slowly and flows gently through to the aftertaste.

The sweetness with a hint of tenderness and spiciness 😄]. This sake is brewed by a sake brewery famous for its Kimmiya shochu. I saw Sanad and Nemuchi rave about this brand a long time ago, and it was on my list of things to drink. The sweet and gentle aroma is pleasant. It has a pleasant sweetness in the mouth and a long, lingering spiciness after swallowing. It has a strong alcoholic taste and a rather robust flavor. This is one of my favorite types 😋. It is good with simmered dishes in Japanese cuisine. It has a wide range of dishes that can be matched with western food as well👍.

For the record Sake I drank when I went to Mie after all this time

This is a gift from an acquaintance, a long aged honjozo. It has a beautiful amber color with a good balance between the full flavor of the rice and the aroma like Shaoxing wine, and it goes well with strong meals.

At home. This was a gift from my wife, who had been watching my daily posts on Sake-no-wa, as she was addicted to sake. I was happy to receive this gift, but at the same time, I wondered if it was safe to order it online. I have to admit that I was a little concerned. After taking some commemorative photos, I was ready to try it. The aroma was fruity. When I put it in my mouth, it had a fresh, slight carbonation, a strong sourness and sweetness, and a strong bitterness at the end, making it very easy to drink. I thought to myself that continuing to drink will produce various effects, and I will continue to enjoy my life of drinking.

Japanese>English

Snowy Matsushima, a gift This type of sake comes in a box with an ostentatious string tied around the neck of the bottle. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but there is a sense of bitter alcohol in the back. The mouthfeel is clean, sweet and delicious, with a clear sake quality and no unpleasant alcohol taste, making it a quintessential expensive sake. It also has a nice sharpness from the mild bitterness. It was a treat!

Japanese>English

The oldest daughter and her husband gave me a bottle of alcohol as a year-end gift🍶. It's refreshing and light 🤗 Umakuchi delicious 🤤. I'm currently doing a lot of pots and pans. I'm having a lot of fun with pots 🙋🙋.

Cup of sake at a friend's house 🍶. It was easy to drink ✨

Japanese>English

I bought it at the Kasumi Sosa store of the supermarket. To put it bluntly, it is a label purchase (laugh). Opened at room temperature, taste is so-called "umakuchi dry"? It seems to emphasize the sake-like quality more than the light dry sake. It is supposed to be junmai sake, but it seemed to have the atmosphere of a honjozo sake that contains brewing alcohol. Could it be related to the long-term aging on the label? I opened the package and put it in the refrigerator. I will try to see the difference from room temperature later.

KATSURAGAWA, which had been laid up for about a year and a half. It's too early to tell, but I'm looking forward to a summer sake on the rocks, and this time I'll have a glass of the standard warmed sake 🍶. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was freshly cooked and fluffy, like rice cakes or rice. It is a four-step glutinous rice brewing process. The mouthfeel is smooth like Gunma sake, but gradually a gentle and deep sweetness like sugar or spuds spreads gradually. When heated, it has a full-bodied, rice-like flavor. The sweetness is not too strong, but rather relaxing. Perfect for enjoying in the colder months. The sweetness itself is more subdued than the normal type, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy the cleanliness that is typical of Gunma sake, which is a good balance!

Japanese>English

As the summer is drawing to a close (the heat is still on), I opened a bottle of "Katsuragawa" sake on the rocks, which I was looking forward to drinking again this year! And the back of the bottle is falling apart due to condensation again😇. When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and fluffy, typical of "Katsuragawa". It is a bit sour and comes in through the nose as if it is cold on the rocks. The mouthfeel has a pettiness by default, but on the rocks it is smooth and silky. It has a fluffy aroma like sweet rice crackers and a syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. As the ice melts, it becomes lighter and more enjoyable ✨. The lingering finish has a slightly tangy, spicy acidity and a tropical fruitiness, and the smart finish keeps the saké going! While listening to the chirping of autumn insects 🍶. I think it's time to open a bottle of "Akagisan" summer sake!

Japanese>English

Delicious! Although it is supposed to be sweet, the aroma is surprisingly refreshing and smooth, and the rice-like aroma comes through. The aroma is also mild during the meal!

It was the day of Tachibana StampVal, so I went to only Ikoma among many stores participating in the event. I don't always go to other shops😅. I thought I was drinking it for the first time, but it looks like I had it last year at Harukas😅. It has a beautiful taste without a strong sense of maturity. Very easy to drink hiyaoroshi 😋. I've always wondered which came first, former Takarazuka Revue troupe member and singer Koshiji Fubiyuki or Koshiji Fubiyuki, but it seems Koshiji Fubiyuki's brand started in 1991!

A night in Niigata Tsubame-Sanjo🌉. A glass of local junmai sake 🍶. Delicious👍

I bought it as a souvenir for myself when I went on a trip to Niigata. It tastes beautiful. No bitterness at all. Maybe it's because it's from the fall season? The mild flavor is delicious. I love it!

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Go-around Rokkomichi 1/5 It was my first time to participate in a go-around! I was excited and thrilled from the morning. I couldn't work today... lol. It was like a field trip for adults. I visited 5 stores in the Rokko-michi area in Kobe! First of all, here is the shaken sake. As I stood nervously at the counter, my neighbor spoke to me. He said, "How many restaurants have you been to?" I said, "This is the first one. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is my first time drinking Miyakotsuru. It is very dry. It is light. I asked for breast meat with kombu-jime egg yolk and chicken skin with wasabi and soy sauce. I thought it was a little strong. But it goes well with sake! This time, the theme for me was "matching the dish". I'm on the train now on my way home. Because I have to work NOW tomorrow.... I'll be posting more soon.......!

2) Matsuura Ichi Sake Brewery ✨9th Omachi Summit Ginjo-Shu Category Honorable Mention ✨. Made with up to 50% polished Omachi from Akaban! Now, a sip...hmmm...this one is delicious too! Mild aroma 😳👍 Refreshing in the mouth with a touch of acidity. The umami is also great!

Japanese>English

It is a very crisp junmai sake with a good acidity level. It has a rich and expansive flavor. It is more crisp when heated. When heated, the umami is moderate and you can taste the astringency. I served it with chilled tofu, and it really brings out the flavor of the chilled tofu. Even if you don't serve it with cold tofu, you can still enjoy the taste. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards, but it is a very good sake! Mr. Ota was in Shinjuku again! I still admire Golden Gai!

Japanese>English

The purpose of my visit to Kawanishi Sake Sales was this. Although it is not written on the label, the sake was labeled as unfiltered raw sake at the store. Unlike the label, it is fruity and modern. It has a refreshing and light taste, but the second half is a bit dry. It has a slightly gaseous taste. It is a bit like Eiko-Fuji, but a little spicier. I wrote it in a subtle way, but it is quite tasty with a good sweetness and flavor. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjyo Nama as well. I think it tastes better after the second day than on the first day.
