(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😅.

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.......

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.

Hakkaisan's Uonuma Limited Edition Sake Strong aroma of rice. Mellow taste. Away from the modern style. Best with fatty fish. Maybe better warmed.

. At the "Laughing Gate" at the main station in Toyohashi Gentle spiciness, with a hint of rice flavor! Just a hint of sourness! Does it go well with strong flavored food? ✩3.5

Honjozo🍶Kenkusetsu❄️ Otona no Himitsu Club Pass Hokkaido Travel Journey 🚃Day 3 Kinugisetsu is also warmed up. Soft and gentle. Sweet and delicious. Pleasant sake. Suddenly dry with liver. Sashimi: tuna, kipper, octopus, and omelet. The proprietress I saw on Kazuhiko Ota's TV show seemed a bit scary, but she was very friendly and talked to me moderately 😆.

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.

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👍

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ㉚ Gifu ⑥ Oda Sake Brewery in Takayama City I remember drinking vacuum-packed sake at the Japanese Sake Festival. Annual shipment is 700 koku. They say they are the originator of many Onikoroshi sake breweries in Japan. I think the real brand name is Hida-boast. It's under the umbrella of Hidagura Corporation, a sake brewery revitalization company. Polishing ratio 58%, Hidahomare 18-19%, Sake degree +10, Acidity 1.9 Amino acidity 1.9, 901 yeast, 1754 yen. It tasted sharp and dry 😅.

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 😋.

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...!

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.
