Aizu 3

Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

Japanese>English

You can find this sake anywhere in Aizu Tajima. But this one is good. It is arabashiri sake, which means it is rough but has a beautiful sweetness and a good taste. I buy some every time I go there!

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

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...!

It is also delicious on its own 👍 It is a very good sake that does not interfere with food💕💕💕 3 guys ran out in no time😅 Thanks to my acquaintance 😊👍 Today's pairing is stir-fried eggplant with miso! They go so well together 😊👍

Japanese>English

This month, I'm going to focus on Nara's local sake since I've been drinking from other prefectures for a while now 😬. The first one is Junmai Ginjo from Mitsumorosugi. This is the first time I've tried the kanji version of Mimuro, but it's calmer than the hiragana version, not too sweet and not too spicy. It lacks impact, but it's well balanced and easy to drink, making it an excellent food sake 😚 I enjoyed it with a side of sardine oil sardine🙏.

Yahiko 3

Yahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture. The main brand was "Echino Hakusetsu," but it appears that "Yahiko" will be the main brand from now on. This Junmai Ginjo is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko Village, and is a good sake, not fruity, but calm and soft. Yahiko Village is where my mother is from, and I spent a lot of time there as a child when I was sent to my mother's home, so it is like a second home to me. Yahiko Shrine, the first shrine in Echigo, is located there.

Japanese>English

Yahiko's regular sake, Aozae, by Yahiko Shuzo Sake rice is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko village. Aozae has a refreshing, watery quality. Aozae is a perfect evening sake without any peculiarities. Yahiko Shrine is the largest shrine in Echigo Province. My mother is from Yahiko Village and I used to stay at her parents' house in Yahiko Village when I was a child, so Yahiko is like my second home.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko The long-awaited "Yahiko" brand I was surprised to learn that there is a store in my hometown that carries this brand. I heard that the brewery has been reorganized and the taste has become even better. But still, this is out of the ordinary! Overall, the flavor is calm. It has a fruity flavor with a clean and crisp finish. The umami can be felt with a touch of savoriness, which is a balance I like! It is high level. ‼️

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Japanese>English

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

Japanese>English

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.
