This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

Nice little restaurant. The selection of sake is also interesting. The hiyaoroshi, which is only available at this time of year, is just right for drinking as a mid-meal drink.

When drunk completely chilled, the clear rice flavor flows in refreshingly. It is a junmai sake with excellent sharpness! 85/100

Japanese>English

This is a dry sake from Kamekichi🐢. It's a sake that is consumed almost exclusively in Aomori prefecture, especially in the Tsugaru region. I don't think chika-san drinks it... 😌. The first aroma is softly sweet. In the mouth, the sweetness is subdued, but the umami is well expressed and it has a beautiful dry taste typical of Aomori sake. Although it is dry, it has the same umami as the Tamadaru Junmai Namaisake from the same brewery that I drank in early spring 😊. It is a legitimate food sake with enough umami to not interfere with the meal, just like the previous Sakuta. It was delicious 🐢✨️

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Higashiyama Sake Brewery.

Japanese>English

The combination of Fushimi and hiyaoroshi (mildly mellow and mild). Fushimi sake is often referred to as "women's sake," and it has a soft and gentle flavor from start to finish. The taste is not bland or dull, and it finishes with a crispness. It is a perfect match for food without asserting itself.

Salmon Marche Week. Memory is hazy. Records are illegible. Here is the record. Kaga no Tsuki no Heating.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

#Otsuka# w/o/a/ta/stone/too/akutsu This is the last round of the meal. We will have zosui (rice porridge) with the best soup stock. At the request of my companion, we had another glass of sake. It is a mellow and gentle sake. It is like taking a breather. It was a great end to the fiscal year ✨. It was a drink that will give me new energy for the next week 🎊🎊.

Fourth round of drinks with Go-ni-Go-san. Amanurin Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Limited Bottle Enclosure This is also my first time to drink Mie sake! I chose only sake from Tokai region😅. This seems to be a regular sake of Amanurin! After bottling, the sake is matured slowly in the brewery. Mellow and full-flavored with a lot of umami!

Japanese>English

The rice used is Comet from Hokkaido. You can't ignore the sake made with Hokkaido rice, can you? It has a clear and refreshing taste typical of Comet. It has a gentle acidity and a good sharpness, so you can drink it easily. It is well-balanced with a good taste of rice. I️ think it's a versatile sake that can be used in any situation. I have drunk Tenyurin many times, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

This sake is made by Shimazaki Shuzo in Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Smooth on the tongue and sweet in taste, this is a sake to be drunk slowly.

Japanese>English

Smooth texture on the tongue. It is a delicious sake with matured flavor and sweetness. It goes down your throat and has a deep flavor.

Japanese>English

Special sake that I got as a gift when visiting the shuzo. It is new year blended koshu released from the brewery every new year time. It blended the Daiginjo from year 1989, 2001 & 2013. Surprisingly, its still very light body - unlike other koshu which makes you too full. I like the aroma, while soy sauce and umami is significant, you can also feel the raisin, dried grapes inside. On palate it leans more towards coffee, toffee & dark chocolate. Serving hot is a good choice too.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑧ This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered. According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire. I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔. Forgot to take notes💦.

Japanese>English

I thought it was Hibari, but it was Yukijaku. My first sake from Ehime. It's a delicious sake with a fluffy sweetness that spreads to the mouth, and no harshness. I think it's a good sake that will become a rare and delicious sake once its name becomes known. Well, really, all the breweries have delicious sake, and with my vocabulary and expression skills, I can't express the distinction between the sake.

Sake Tasting Gacha at Sasaki Sake Brewery This is another sake limited to the brewery. It was sold in a refrigerator, but I'm not sure if it was fresh sake or not. Gorgeous and fruity. Dry but delicious. 4gou 5500 yen 😱. Most of the high-end sake was made with 1801 yeast.

Japanese>English

Salmon Monogatari in Kansai(´・ω・`) Red is the color of the bottle. It has a moderate ripeness, and the more you chew it, the deeper the flavor becomes. The more you bite into it, the deeper the flavor becomes. It makes you want to have something to eat. It is the type of sake you want to drink slowly, so it may not be suitable for events.
