First Momokawa, sharp and crisp.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

The soft aroma swells in the mouth.

Chilled to a crisp. With a brass sake bottle. The expression is different with the passage of time. I felt it was a perfect match with sushi.

Kin-Sen🍶. Otona no Himitsu Club, Aomori Complete Trip🚃Day 2 The second cup of the stove train is also sold in the train. It's very spicy. Quite spicy. It might be better to drink it with SURUME (Japanese white radish) 😅It would be better to drink it warmed up. Tsugaru Railway Stove Train 🚂Sales on board @Tsugaru Railway 20240127

Japanese>English

Home drinking. This is a dry sake for the Year of the Ox from Hachinohe Sake, and is used in full quantity. A refreshing pineapple with tropical fruit and sweet and sour aromas, a clean and light mouthfeel of melon and sweetness gurgles in the mouth, turning to a sweet rice flavor on the mid-palate and a long finish.

Chinese>English

This is my favorite Hakutsuru 🍶. The black bottle with navy blue label is kind of cool 🥰. It is sold only in Aomori. The first aroma is slightly sweet. The palate has a full-bodied sweet flavor that is typical of Hanafukuyuki. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, partly due to the 50% polishing. The sharpness is not bad either. I want to buy a bottle next year and drink it carefully 🤔.

(*^^^^^+) Today, my sister sent me 1/5 I got a bottle of Kanbei from Meijo Shuzo 😀. As the label says, it's light and dry. It's a great sake to drink with food. It's a good sake to pair with food 😎Thanks sis✨.

It is light and dry but slightly sweet and delicious. I can drink this as much as I want😄.

Hamamatsu Arigatamaidai ## My preconceived notion when I saw the label was fresh! The taste is... The taste is surprisingly robust. The aroma after opening the bottle was slightly sweet 🤔. I think it's sweet and goes well with all kinds of snacks😅.

Japanese>English

I wanted to drink something smooth, so I opened a bottle of Niigata sake... but it was a bit sweet.

Japanese>English

At the return home. Junmai sake from a local brewery, Takai Shuzo's "Koshinohatsubai". A rare and true gem among spring wild plants, Ki no Mame. It is served with the yolk of an egg. It is a sprout of akebi, and its bitterness and the breath of spring are irresistible. Local shiitake mushrooms are also available. The light and refreshing local sake goes well with this dish, and it is blissful.

I've always been curious about it because I often see it at Takashimaya, but this is my first time to drink it. The rice is Asahi rice and Yamadanishiki. It is fresh and has a strong sweet flavor, but the aroma and taste are a bit unique. I also feel a bit of hardness. I'll give it some more time and see how it goes. Apple and honey-like sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It is heated to a high temperature. It's what I call a good heated sake. It's just plain good.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

Last night was a get-together. We brought our own sake, assuming it wouldn't be too much since it was an all-you-can-drink course at an izakaya chain restaurant. (I got the restaurant's approval!) I bought my first bottle of Vice Shogun. The aroma is fresh and fruity. The mouthfeel is salty-sweet with a hint of sourness. The ginjo aroma becomes a pleasant aftertaste, and is finished off with a mild sourness and bitterness. I thought it was based on a light dry base, but I could feel Aizan's character, and it was very tasty. The fact that everyone who drank it gave it high marks probably indicates that they were paying attention to me. I also like the cost performance of Aizan's Junmai Daiginjo, which is under 2,000 yen! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Daimon Shuzo Rikyubai Katanogahara Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Shuzake This brewery is located in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture. The rice is polished to 50% Yamadanishiki and Hinohikari grown in Katano. The aroma is calm and soft, and the taste of rice is mild, Well-balanced, refreshing and clean aftertaste. #Japanese Sake

Souvenir purchase from a trip to Osaka (2) This one is also dry and mild on the palate. Light. It has acidity and is fruity. I wonder if Kansai people tend to drink a lot of mustard.
