(ˊ일ˋ )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and cheer 📣✊. This sake is from Shimizu Sake Brewery in Kawai-cho, Wajima, which suffered a big fire after the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The building was not completely destroyed or destroyed by fire, but there was a lot of damage 😢This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. The aroma is only a little, and the sake is a solid amber color🤔It says it is dry, but it has a refreshing umami taste😊The sweetness and acidity are moderate and the aftertaste is super refreshing😚✨You will not get tired of drinking it and it will go down easy😇 It's a delicious sake that can reset your palate during a meal 🥳👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

It was delicious!

I was attracted to it when I heard it was Asahikawa, so I tried it. I was told that it is easy to drink cold or warmed, but I had it warmed. It looks like a honjozo. Asahikawa, or rather the Oenon Group, is a widely used alcohol manufacturer.

I got "Uonuma de sakou" as a souvenir....sold only in Minamiuonuma, the concept is good ⭕️...I couldn't find a good marriage...but I'm sipping it with yellowtail sashimi and okonomiyaki...Niigata sake 🍶 traditional light dry taste.... ...I've had it a few times...it's a good ⭕️ as a food sake 🍶! It's really good......and I realized once again that Niigata sake is very popular.......

Japanese>English

Nice to meet you too, Mr. Uonuma. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it is a little more modern and dry. It has a soft umami flavor that quickly fades away. This is quite a tasty dry 🍶✨. I think my dad would like it.

I think it's great for sake beginners! It was delicious!

First time! Kirinzan....not much aroma....sweet and bitter, then sharp! Enjoy the delicious taste of Koshitanrei. The best and strongest for Niigata sake 🍶Meal sake 🍶 🍶 😀 Today, I'm having dinner with seasonal "Kogomi" and "Asatsuki" & Sashimi.......enjoying the spring ☘️

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

Junmai Ginjo specification. Sweetness and umami are mild.

Today is Nigori no Hi? (25th) eve. I had a Kirinzan. It has no effervescence, but when you pour it into a glass, it is very fizzy. The alcohol content is 14 degrees. A little low. It has a gentle flavor, but it is dry and refreshing. The nigorigo has a variety of flavors, and it is delicious.

Japanese>English

Today I opened a bottle of sake that I received. It is light, sharp and delicious. It goes well with a club sandwich. The label says Denkara ❔❔❔❔.

Memorandum. This is another favorite local drink. Summer, After having accomplished a lot of big challenges in June for me. I wanted to take a breather and reset. A crisp, dry, unpasteurized sake. It works well. I should be able to get eggplant. It was such a good sake for the evening. Sasanishiki from Ichihasama. Suki. I prefer the green hode nasu in winter, though.

Japanese>English

It is a local sake, but I first heard about it through "Sake-no-wa" and bought it at a sake store in the northern part of the prefecture. My daughter bought it at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station a couple of times before she got married. Strangely enough, I could not remember any other person's sake. 　It has a fruity aroma and taste like peaches, with a nice sharp aftertaste. (Mrs. Fujinami's impression) 　It was too rich for me and I did not understand it well. It became easier to drink when I tried it on the rocks.

Japanese>English

Summer version of hode nasu 🍆. First time I've ever purchased summer ✨. It's completely different from the winter version, crispy 😳 almost no acidity! I prepared a steak with the winter flavor, but I ate it with yesterday's leftover mansaku and ate the hode nasu with edamame and cucumbers 😅. Hode nasu in summer is more like sushi or pickles than meat 🤔.

At home. First time in Saitama. I couldn't find Saitama easily, so I searched by the name of the prefecture and finally found it. The aroma is grainy and nutty. The mouthfeel is smooth and fresh, and it has a sweet taste of grain. The sourness and bitterness were not so strong. From the label, I thought it would be heavy, but it was easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Mild sweetness. Banana and ripe apples. Moderately refreshing on the back palate.8

Japanese>English

I found a suspicious looking liquor. Is it for export? I saw it in the lap of Asahara Sake Brewery and bought it. It is a carbonated sake with low alcohol content. It is carbonated after the fact, so it has a great shwashy feeling. It is good for a quick drink on a hot day, but if you want to feel the carbonation, I honestly think beer or a highball would be better. I don't think this is what people call "Japan".

I saw it at Takasaki station and bought it. I was expecting to be disappointed, but I was pleasantly surprised. I should have bought it at a dozen places. I should have bought it at the dozen.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had a normal Akagisan! I love the refreshing taste of summer, but the crisp and dry taste during the cold winter months is also very refreshing and special ✨. The clear and beautiful mouthfeel is also reminiscent of the snowy winter landscape! It's also a great choice for warming up during this time of the year. But in my opinion, Akagisan is best drunk cold 😋.

Japanese>English

It is no longer a must-have. I've been saving it for a while since I bought it, but I opened it just as it was getting a little warmer! (I'll spare you my impressions.) It has a light, refreshing, umami dry taste and a clean, crisp throat, making it a great choice for the coming season 😌. In my opinion, it is a 🍺 substitute...!
