Aizu 3

Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

Joshua, congratulations on your 1800 check-ins🎊.

A childhood friend's mother passed away, and this was one of the items in the gift. I have drunk a lot of Aizu sake, but this may be my first time to try their honjozo. A little sweet with a bitter aftertaste. Not bad. I drink it slowly in memory of my friend's mother, who had given countless lives as a midwife and was decorated with a medal.

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...!

Niigata sake is often thought of as light and dry, but this "Tsururei," which I drank before as a gift, is light and umami (light and umami) 😋♪ It has a slight aroma like Yamada Nishiki...you can taste the rice flavor 🍶♪ Excellent as a food sake 🍶! Niigata sake is evolving and deepening. Delicious!

A local sake from Uonuma. It has a light amber color. It has a mellow and delicious taste with a slight bitter aftertaste. It's a good choice for a daytime drink 👍It goes well with strong-flavored dishes as well.

As we head into the busy year-end season, it is important to refresh ourselves in the intervals between events, so tonight we had another glass of wine. I opened a bottle of "Kitayuki Junmai Ginjo" from Sado Island, Niigata, which I was told about at an izakaya I often visit! It has a sweet aroma from the moment it is poured, and when you take it into your mouth, the sweet and umami flavors quickly run out, leaving you with a gentle, smooth, and clear image of the after-flavor! Whether it is the water or the brewing method, I am addicted to this clear aftertaste! With only one month left in this year, I'm getting drunk and thinking that it's time to narrow down the bottle of 2022 that I will choose 🍶.

Japanese>English

If I sleep for a day today, it will be Friday... so I opened the bottle in good spirits. The aroma is fruity with no hint of alcohol. It has a softness that is typical of nama-shu. When you take a sip.... Hmm, it's sweet. It has a solid taste that doesn't betray your expectations. It's a taste I like. However, there is an alcohol feeling on the throat. It's not too much to worry about. I'd like to try the other Hokusetsu.

Japanese>English

Kitayuki after a long time. I had the impression that it was refreshing, but this has a juicy flavor that is typical of nama-gara sake and is delicious.

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

#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

I also bought nigorigo. It is very sweet and tastes like doburoku. I was told that it needs to be refrigerated, but it was sold at room temperature at an Aeon.

Japanese>English

I went to Tsushima. I haven't had Shiratake in 6 years. 6 years ago I commented that it was like drinking shochu (distilled liquor). Now I drink it with a stronger alcohol taste, but I can taste the delicious rice flavor. I think it has grown up a little.

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🎶.

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).

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 😁.

(*^￢^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 When I stopped by a liquor store in Fukui Prefecture, I encountered a Bonon I had never seen before, and was attracted by the unusual shape of the bottle and bought it😙. 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 😀.

( ˊ拉말ˋ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I opened a bottle of Bravo that I bought at a roadside station on the way back from a super car event in Fukui the other day 😀. The aroma is mild and refreshing 🤔The taste is round and crisp 😋The drink size is 300ml😇 Just the right amount of sake to enjoy 🥳.
