This is a junmai sake from the north of the Kinjitake Brewery. The sweetness comes from the mild umami. It is a delicious sake with a good acidity followed by a bitter taste. I had it at room temperature. It is a good one👍🍶🎶.

I guess this is one of the answer songs to the real Kin Fat reviewed by Manachie 😅. I sometimes stock a series of small bottles for when I want to drink a little 🎵Hokkaido is brewed by Kinteki Shuzo 🎵Kinteki...no, Kinteki 😉 Not much aroma, spicy, watery sake, light bitterness 🍶 I felt rice on the aftertaste 😃. Classical but good for eating ❗

(*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No.6 I bought this Reijin at a local supermarket 😀. The aroma is subtle and mild😊The taste is slightly sweet on the palate with a strong rice flavor 😚👍This is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own 🥳.

Japanese>English

First time drinking out in a while We started with Reijin 😆. It's called "Reijin Dry Goku" and it's as light and dry as you'd expect 🤗. As a lover of sweet and savory, I don't usually drink it, but it was perfect with the grilled meat I paired it with 🥰.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. I had been curious about Reijin for a while, so I tasted it with the intention of buying it, but I couldn't find anything that stuck out to me so I didn't buy it. It was fresh and fruity, but it tasted like a common taste.... I would like to try it if there are other specs. The brewer was also very reluctant.

I bought this sake to try a sake from Shinshu, a region I was not familiar with. After purchasing it, I checked the label on the back to see what the specs were. ⁉️...no label. It looks like it was removed 😅. Takizawa is a mysterious sake. It had a clear sweetness with a strong rice flavor and a nice aroma 😆.

😄 Uhihihihi. The picture in the middle is Takizawa. I found this sake at a liquor store but thought "maybe another time" so I'm drinking it. I don't know what "Nakaguchi" means, but to me it feels sweet and, well, it's also delicious. Nagano sake is really good, I thought.

At home. Kumamoto sake, Sung Kaoru, purchased on an expedition to Fukuoka. The Sansho I was looking for was sold out, and I managed to find this Kumamoto sake. It has a smooth, refreshing taste with a slight bitterness at the end. It was a dangerous one that was easy to drink. After a long time, I took a walk around Motomachi area in Kobe by bicycle, bought some gyoza (Chinese dumplings), and went home. Since it was Saturday afternoon, Sannomiya and Motomachi were quite crowded, and the city seemed to have regained its vitality.

drinking at home (as opposed to going out) This time, I asked the liquor store to deliver a bottle of the recommended one. SakaoruBalanced and delicious 👍️.

Fukuoka! They have sake from Kumamoto! I'll have to order some. This is my second time checking in to Kumamoto, so I'm a little happy. The Classic. The direction of this drink is quite different from yesterday's Hibyotsuru. It doesn't interfere with the meal.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

For souvenirs, we went to Yaegaki's store at Himeji Station 😄I bought a limited edition special junmai recommended to me ✨. The aroma is fresh and muscat-like 😚The taste is fresh and the acidity comes forward and is refreshing ✨It has a nice sharpness 😊I felt like it would be a delicious sake for the summer 🥳.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) Very rich rice-derived sweet flavor. Freshness is moderate and dry. This is the royal road to deliciousness! I don't see many dry sake in Nagano Prefecture, but the occasional dry sake has a rich, mellow flavor.

#Funabori# SENDAI-YA My favorite liquor store in my neighborhood is not open because of GW 😭. It's not open 😭. The first time I visited this liquor store, wine is the mainstream. The first time I visited the liquor store, wine was the mainstream and there was no sake. The only one I bought was a little sweet, but it was delicious. It's a little sweet, but it's delicious. It was 880 yen for a four-pack... It was served with dinner, and it was indeed sweet, but not too much... and it had a good flavor... It was very cosy 😆😆. It was easy to drink, and it was empty in no time😅😅.

I bought some fire-activated nigori at the co-op because it looked interesting... so much moromi... ！！！！！ I looked it up and found that there is also active nigoromi... Sorry I only have a picture of it after mixing! I know the nigori in Niidashizenshuu and the nigori in this season's Sasasamune have a lot of moromi, but this is probably even better than that! The impact is amazing! Isn't it about 70-80% of the bottle? What is this? When you drink it... it's thick! As you can see, the rice flavor is coming forward. There is a slight alcohol taste, but it also has a banana smoothie-like flavor that is not too classic, making it easy to drink. It is thick, but if you cool it down and drink it, it is surprisingly easy to drink. In any case, it is quite strong, so it would be good with Chinese dishes with strong flavors. It would be better with Chinese food that has a strong flavor, such as stewed eggplant, grilled fish, or simmered dishes, as the richness of the sake would drown it out. I think I'll try it with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd sauce. LOL! Thankfully, it is fire-roasted, so you can drink it slowly and leisurely over several days. It doesn't lose its flavor and is very useful when the food has a strong taste.
