A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata. My colleague introduced me to Miyakoya and I bought it. It was a very tasty sake with the beautiful lightness and umami of Niigata. The bonito was also very nice and fatty, so it made for a good dinner.

Japanese>English

I was drinking it on 7/1. It is aromatic, fruity, sweet from the rice, and refreshingly delicious. Niigata is a great place after all! My daughter had it with her lunch of seared nodoguro (northern bluefin tuna) 😊My daughter had it with her lunch of hegisoba (buckwheat noodles) and tarekatsu (pork cutlet with sauce) and drank it with takachiyou. Yum! She mumbled like Mr. Purgatory and only gave me a small bite 🤣.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. Light and dry. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing sharpness. A beautiful, yet robust sake. Kame-no-o. With grilled meat

#Nagasaki Goto Town# w river/o/pine/hori/fuku/yama I visited with a customer from Hokuriku. To compete with them with seafood, We consulted with them in advance about "Uchiwa Shrimp" caught in Hirado, Nagasaki. We consulted with them in advance and asked them to secure it for us at the market. We had them as sashimi. It was like a smaller horseshoe crab. They were very pleased 😁. Now for the 🍶... For a moment, I thought it would be dry. I thought it was dry, I felt sweetness. The freshness goes well with sashimi. The shrimp was served in miso soup later 🎉.

Japanese>English

The second cup is a local sake from Tsushima, which is also rarely seen in the Kansai region. The rice flavor gently spreads in this drink, which I never get tired of drinking. Tsushima is another place I would like to visit someday.

Japanese>English

Nigori (nigori). It has a sweet sake-like aroma. It is sweet to the taste. The gaseous feeling is already gone. The texture is more refreshing than expected. It has a moderately fruity acidity and goes down smoothly. It goes down the throat well. It is very drinkable. Degree of liking ☆3.5/5

Myokayama is my first time. I bought it with Yume brew. The impression is that the acidity is strong at first. The rice is sweet and fresh. It has a little bit of cemedine. I would like to drink it with nabe (hot pot) or strong dishes. I did some research on this brewery and found out that it is owned by Oizumi, a pachislot-related company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It seems that Oizumi has a chain of izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and they serve sake there. It seems to have lost its cemedine taste and become sweeter than when I first opened it.

Japanese>English

a four-ounce bottle about a glass It is sweet, slightly carbonated and very easy to drink. I think even people who don't like alcohol will say this is delicious. This is my friend's sake too, but I want to buy some myself and drink it all up! There is no word in my dictionary that says "put it to sleep" (laughs)!

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Japanese>English

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

Junmai Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨ Various flavors. Stronger freshly squeezed. Alcohol is also strong. It is assertive throughout. The sliced kipper makes it mild 👍. Fried oyster makes it more charming.

Today is Nigori no Hi? (25th) eve. I had a Kirinzan. It has no effervescence, but when you pour it into a glass, it is very fizzy. The alcohol content is 14 degrees. A little low. It has a gentle flavor, but it is dry and refreshing. The nigorigo has a variety of flavors, and it is delicious.

Today I opened a bottle of sake that I received. It is light, sharp and delicious. It goes well with a club sandwich. The label says Denkara ❔❔❔❔.

This sake was given to us by a visitor to Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Niigata, which is famous for its signature Akita dog. It is slightly sweet and has a subtle rice flavor, and although it was made in December 2010, it does not have an aged feel and is refreshing and easy to drink. It has a slight peach and lactic acid flavor. I think it is one of the most delicious alcoholic sake.

Japanese>English

It was a delicious sake with a good balance of flavors and a fresh, mellow taste 😋.

Lightly perked. The richness of umami and spiciness asserts itself in the middle.

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

Next, we open a bottle of "Izutsucho"! When the bottle is opened, there is not much of an aroma, but there is a coffee-like aroma, such as café au lait, that can be detected. The palate is light, but the taste is milky and milky. There is also a bitter and astringent taste, which gives the sensation of drinking a green tea latte 🍵. THE caffeinated beverage! This is so addictive👍

Japanese>English

Today is Izutsucho. Nagano was given to me as a mid-year gift from someone in Saku ✨. I wonder what it smells like, fruity aroma -> sharpness -> soft sweetness -> alcohol bitterness -> full lingering taste. Delicious. Made in March 2012, shipped in June 2013, it takes a long time. According to the official description, "This is our brewery's best sake, carefully polished with Miyamanishiki and Kinmonnishiki rice produced in Nagano Prefecture and brewed slowly during the harsh winter season, based on the concept of a Daiginjo that is unique to Nagano without relying on high-grade sake rice produced in other prefectures. It is a daiginjo that is not flashy, but has a pleasant ginkoku (gin aroma) and a refined, full-bodied sweetness." Thank you very much for your kindness!

Japanese>English

On a trip to Nagano, I compared six different kinds of sake at a place on the Nakamise street of Zenkoji temple. The aroma is mellow and the taste is robust.
