The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

Yamada Nishiki. A pleasantly mild spiciness with a sharp umami flavor...!

It has the smell of mambo candy, which is a candy made of colored vinyl and filled with a candy like ramune, pears, and rice. It starts with the fruity sourness of pear and rice, followed by a pungent spiciness and then a full-bodied, delicious sweetness. The caramelized taste comes in like it has been aged, and the sweetness, which is not as sweet as sugar, and the light bitterness extend. If you continue to drink it, it will taste sweet in the mouth, but if you pour some cold sake back into the mouth, you can drink it without hesitation. As you continue to drink it, your tongue gets used to it and the caramel taste is a nice accent, making it a delicious drink. It is delicious. When the temperature is raised to 60 degrees Celsius, the spiciness, acidity, and the rice flavor are all present.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 At Sakaishi Daigo (Part 12) I had my first bottle of Asahi Taka 😀 . It's an all-you-can-drink drink, so I had the luxury of comparing it with a bottle of Jyushiyo Honmaru. My impression is that both are delicious. I felt it was completely different from other Honjozo 😙I would like to drink it again 😁.

A bit peculiar but not bitter 🤔. This is a food wine 🍶´- with assorted sashimi 😋😋. Untan ✺✺ and (,,-д-,) nma! There were so many good sakes, but I'm interested in the ones I've never had 😅. I have some pics... but I think I probably drank a little... There were about 4 that I didn't take note of my impressions (¡-ᴗ-;ก)

Memorandum for Tuesday, May 23 (2) 🍶. A gift from a colleague in Iwate - ⤴️✨ He said it was sake from near his parents' house in Yamagata 😊. We all enjoyed it together, We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

It's a nice day 🌈 Now, I was expecting a fluchy since it was described as delicious in a glass of wine.... I guess it's not, it's more like slightly dry and tasty 😋. And very fresh 🎉. and the aroma and flavor of rice 🎉. I thought it would go well with any dish, Japanese or Western 👍✨.

#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 🎉.

Like yesterday, Shiratake-san. I think it was the one with the most intense flavor during the tasting (we received a lot of it, probably... You can still feel the umami and sweetness of the rice. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter and lingers for a long time. (PS: After about 30 minutes of pouring the cold sake into a Kimura glass piccolo, the aroma of ripe melon spread through the glass. After drinking it, it is still melon. It went from rice to melon🍈) My mistake, or rather my assumption, was that the addition of brewer's alcohol would refresh me. But after tasting it at Hakutake-san, it was the opposite... The same goes for this sake. The sardine was grilled with salt, well oiled and grilled to a high strength. The skin is crispy and you can even eat the bones. The flavor spreads and goes very well with white rice. The yeast we were allowed to taste, 1801 and No. 7, was said to be used at the brewery. I believe this is No. 7... I'm sorry if I'm wrong, it's frustrating to drink and not know 🙏.

Japanese>English

The only sake brewery in Tsushima. Shiratake Sake Brewery (Former Kawachi Sake Brewery) During the waiting time at Tsushima Airport, I enjoyed Tsushima venison? and enjoyed it, but I was not feeling very well, so I will refrain from commenting at this time. I drank it again at home. I first drank it cold, but it had a strong umami and sweetness from the rice. The sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I could go on and on with just this one... (Come to think of it, I would drink it on the rocks...) (By the way, we were told that it can be served on the rocks or with fruit.) Added -> I remembered that and tried it on the rocks. No way, it became more, rice, this is delicious. It's not the type that stands out for its flamboyance, but rather the rice, so I imagine it would go well with anything that goes with rice when it's hot 💭. I'll fill in additional information when I have that opportunity. 60°(Additional note I wonder if I made it too hot as the alcohol became more pronounced? Maybe it would have been better to warm it up to human skin... I drank it all up, so I couldn't compare any more...

Compare with Wakanami Junmai Ginjo. This one is also sweet, but compared to the Wakaha, both the sweetness and sourness are less pronounced. This one has a crisper aftertaste and is more suitable for sipping.

Quite fruity, easy drinking. It has a gorgeous melon-like aroma. It is the sake which can be enjoyed.

It's not gorgeous, but it's a delicious sake with a royal umami taste 😇 and you can really feel the flavor of the rice 😀.

Shiraito 3

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

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. ‼️

Bullet❗️Yamagata Day Trip Drive🚙💨③ We were able to visit La Jomon and and Satoya, which was the most important goal of this trip, and Two missions completed☑️ Now, the next mission... If we came all the way to Yamagata, we had to make a pilgrimage to a sacred place ☝️ Our goal was to visit the brewery of the Fatty Generation. But you know what? Dora had a lot of missions before we got there. 　　　　　（Sake shop tour) So all my sightseeing requests were rejected... 🙅‍♂️ I was rejected...🤷‍♀️⤵︎ I bought a bottle of Hanabayo's "Silk" at one of the many liquor stores we stopped at. I'll have a glass of Hanabayo's "Silk" ✨🥂✨. Mild ginjo aroma When you drink it It has a thick and mellow mouthfeel Sweet and fluffy It is full of umami. In the latter half, the sourness comes from the umami. Then it finishes with a kick. After swallowing, the chest is chilled. If you combine it with pear Hmm? It was a bit salty and sour! When I combined it with Satoya's "Tamayura"... It's so good 😘! I loved this pairing 💕 By the way, "Tamayura" is... A famous Yamagata confectionary "Noshibai" made with white bean paste and agar, topped with Japanese raw chocolate. Very delicious 🥰. For lunch, I had a quick ramen (ramen).
