(˶ᐢ˶ GW Tohoku Tour Purchases (7) I bought this at Ishidoriya Roadside Station 😀. The taste is gentle on the palate😊Sourness? It's a bit sour but easy to drink 😚 It's a bit sweet but refreshing😇. Today I had Tenho, a local ramen of Nagano prefecture 😋 I had the meat fried ramen🍜 and gyoza🥟😘The light ramen and gyoza went well together🥳Next I will try the dandanmen😙.

Junmai Daiginjo that is not like Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness is moderate. It takes some time for the flavors to develop. Personally, I've always had the impression that Yamadanishiki has a sweet aftertaste, but the dryness of the flavor reminded me of the diversity of Japanese sake. And even though it's supposed to be a little out of character for my taste, it was a dish that made me drink more! As the temperature rises, the taste is distinctly sweet at first and then dry (and crisp) at the end. It broke the stereotype that Yamada Nishiki is sweet! The brewery started brewing in 1922. The name of the brand was changed from the famous water "Horime-no-Ido" to "Horinoi".

Koshino Hakugan is a 50% polished ginjo. This is a light, easy-drinking ginjo-shu that is typical of Niigata sake. Serve with tempura of wild vegetables.

Japanese>English

I've never seen this brand before. It's mostly consumed in Niigata Prefecture, so it's not sold outside the prefecture. I was lucky enough to drink it 😄. It's chilled but very juicy, and it's a true trendy combination of sweetness and refreshment. I drank it at the end of a drinking party, so there wasn't much left of the knob, but it's a very powerful drink that works well on its own. I'd really like to taste it at home, so if I find it somewhere else, I'll definitely buy it 😙. But I drank too much yesterday 😨

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA⑭ Koshino Shiragane" booth. The main product was a honjozo type, and 80% of the sake was shipped to customers in the prefecture. Koshinohakugan Kuromatsu The highest gold award for two consecutive years in the lukewarm category of the National Heated Sake Contest in 2020 and 2021. It's so cheap, I'm scared. It's very cheap and I'm scared. It has a mild sake taste with a rich sweetness and umami. Koshino Shiragane Junmai Made from Gohyakumangoku rice. It is a junmai sake with a sharp and tight acidity. Koshino Heki Junmai Ginjo Also made with Gohyakumangoku. It has a clear sourness and a strong acidity. Koshino Shiragane Junmai Daiginjo Hiyahiroshi, unfiltered, bottle-hitched. I was going to skip the Hiyoroshi, but bouken said he was going to drink it, so I tasted it. It's fruity, rich, and full-bodied, with a richness that I like. The pricing is too cheap and buggy. Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Exhibit Sake 2024 Sake for the sake competition. It's clear and drinkable like water without any stickiness. It has a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Vintage2014 Aged 10 years for a sake show. Abeno Harukas brought it because it is 10 years old. The color does not change much. It has a sense of maturity, but it tastes clean and full of flavor.

Hitoki Junmai The aroma is not that strong. It has a fruity, pale yellowish flavor. When you sip it, the fruity sweetness comes on at once. It has a pleasant light, fruity sweetness. It has the so-called "Mio-like" taste, but it is much more like a fruit wine, with a sweetness like dessert wine. It is very delicious. You can drink it by itself.

Today is Munemasa from the Munemasa Sake Brewery. The same as the last Kameizumi cel24, the sake degree is -15. It's also not too sweet and refreshing to drink, it's a sweet and delicious Saga sake😊. It's a mild sake with less acidity than Kameizumi. It has a mild taste with less acidity than Kameizumi. In short... This is Kameizumi without pineapple juice 😆🍸✨. I recommend this sweet and savory sake to both Kameizumi lovers and those who don't want the pineapple taste of Kameizumi 😊.

Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

Japanese>English

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

Japanese>English

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

The clerk at the liquor store recommended this sake to me if I liked it sweet. Indeed, it was a perfect strike! My partner and I said in unison, "Delicious! I said in unison. At first, the sourness is strong and tingling, but when you swallow it, the aroma of rice escapes from your nose, and there is a faint sweet aftertaste. If you are not a fan of sake, this is a sake you should try. Wakaha Shuzo is the best!

As soon as I arrived at my favorite restaurant, my brother told me, "You've got a good one! It's a new sake! It's Yokoyama's new sake😆! It's a new sake from Yokoyama! There is still some autumn sake left in the fridge, but I had it first. The fresh and fruity taste spreads in the mouth🤣. This is what I call Yokoyama❗️ sweet, umami, sour, and bitter😍. A taste that makes you happy👍 Thank you brother of the shop😊.
