The sake I bought back from Tottori. Oh... it's a Junmai Ginjo, but it doesn't have a Ginjo aroma... Aged scent? Yes, it's actually a sake that's been aged for 3 years. Aged sake usually has a harsh aroma for me, but But this one has a gorgeous aroma and a soft taste. It's an excellent product for beginners of aged sake.

Japanese>English

Tasted very chilled. Nose is full of umami and funk. Flavor is full as well but balanced. Texture is silly smooth and finish is restrained. Mushroom and forest floor all the way through.

Aged 3 years, this was my first attempt at an aged product, and it has quite an impact. My honest impression is that it smells like an auto repair shop? Hmmm, difficult for a beginner.

This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture). It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock. This is the one I found in my parents' fridge. Cool and pungent. A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor. Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you. The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness. The intense flavor is intoxicating. After all, Genpei is delicious. I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed. The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.

This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Oku-Echizen region, Fukui Prefecture. I bought this sake when I went back home for summer vacation, and it just appeared. It has a sweet aroma that spreads quickly, with a sharp pungency. The sharpness of the spiciness is complemented by the sharpness of the aroma, which reminds me a bit of Western-style sake. It is a country sake, but it is quite gorgeous and sparkling. How about when it is warmed up? The spiciness rushes in like a gust of wind. The spiciness rushes through like a gust of wind, gushing out sweetness and melting away the flavors of the snacks at a torrent-like speed. It is just like spring melt water. The faint scent of vanilla in the aftertaste is also a nice touch. I enjoy the speed and grace.

I was a little curious about it with lots of writing, so I bought it. I heard it was super dry. Hohoho. It has a pungent taste that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes it easy to drink. It has a spiciness that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes you feel like you can drink it without hesitation. Let's try it with meat and fish to see how well it goes with them. The spiciness of the sake also faded when paired with tonteki (pork belly) with sweet and spicy sauce.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. I bought it at the end of last year at an antenna store in Toyama. I didn't know about this brand. The color is a light amber. The color is pale amber, and the flavor is just as it should be. It's relatively easy to drink because it's crisp and not overpowering, but it didn't seem to suit my partner who likes floral and sweet flavors. It didn't match well with the grilled chicken, but I think it will swell up with time, so I'll leave it for a while. It's quite a unique sake, and I don't dislike it!

Japanese>English

I have had Taitozan before, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it for the first time in a while. It has a slightly astringent white wine-like aftertaste with almost no sweetness. I think it is best to drink it with fish dishes, which is a standard white wine. Since it is winter from now on, yellowtail and radish would be delicious. I, of course, drink it only with sake.

Japanese>English

The first drink at Ishininkin in front of Toyama Station. It is dry but not too strong.

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Japanese>English

There is no mention of it, but it is probably nama sake. It is not labeled as Nama-shu, but according to the information on the Internet, the label on the back of the bottle says it needs to be kept chilled, which means it is Nama-shu. Am I right? The rice is Ginbukiyo and Nihonbare. It also looks like a raw sake. It does not feel as spicy as the sake level, and although it is spicy, there is a good balance of sweet and spicy. The taste is light and refreshing. The spiciness finishes with a lingering sweetness. There is a good amount of graininess.

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Rice used is Yume-Ginko from Nagoya This sake has a slightly sweet and robust flavor. It is not so fresh, but has a mildly sharp and clean aftertaste. Overall, it has a calmness that makes it a versatile all-around food sake. This is a good sake for ministry.

Japanese>English

This will also be the first time I have dreamed of a hawk. The first aroma is a modest sweet aroma. In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness like ripe fruit and the umami of rice. It also has a sweet overtone like that of ripe fruit. It is similar to Chochin, but darker and tastier. I love Nagoya's sake.

Japanese>English

Charcoal Grilled Chicken and Good Sake Tate-Aoi It is a Junmai Hi-ire of Takanomune. It was served cold to finish the day 🍶. ALLNAGOYA🍤 is made with Yume-Ginko🌾 from Nagoya city and FIA-2 yeast developed by Aichi prefecture and cultivated also in Nagoya city. Don't tell anyone that the label on the back says "ALLNAGOY" 🤫. The top aroma is mildly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it has a mild sweetness and a good rice flavor. Actually, last year's hi-ire sake was so good that this year I bought the same ALLNAGOYA sake, but it was a little too hard. I wonder if this sake tastes better when it is fire-brewed 🤔. By chance? The third and fourth pictures are of Takanomumu's brewery, which is about a 10-minute walk from JR Tokaido Honsen Odaka Station.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A brand that is no longer in existence, Ippiki. It seems to be refreshing, but comes with a gusto. It's not a sparkling sake, but it has a refreshing tanginess. Interesting sake. Kangiku is now the top sake in Chiba, but Ikki (now Koshi) used to be the best. It is a pity that this brand is no more!

Today is Valentine's Day!👩‍❤️‍👨 This Sake paired very well with the filet mignon I prepared for my wife. There is a full mouth feel with umami. There is a light smoke flavor and wood. The aftertaste is short.

I bought it because the production date was a year ago and it was priced at 1,000 yen. It is said to be a sake made for meat dishes like steak, but first I tried it by itself. There was no cloying taste, and the taste was pure and not particularly pretentious. The sweetness tends to be hidden, and perhaps because of the high alcohol content, it tastes a bit muddy afterwards. If you drink it slowly, you can taste the umami of the rice, and it is quite a good sake. However, it is a bit strong on its own, so it is best to drink it with the sweetness of fat from grilled meat.

Japanese>English

A lot of umami and funk at first, but gets smoother as you go. Strong - half a bottle with my husband definitely had us feeling tipsy. Great with food or alone after a long day. Smokey and sweet.

Koikawa Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi 720ml Rice ： 100% Kame-no-o produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 55 Alcohol : 15.3 My wife entered this sake in a CS historical drama program and won it. It is said that this sake brewery is related to the writer Shuhei Fujisawa. This is also some kind of fate. Now, what does it taste like? It is quite classical. My wife said it was just fine. It is best to warm it up a little.

Japanese>English

Rice sweetness. Strong acidity. Bitter taste of alcohol remains at the end. The lack of ginjo aroma is good. Not my favorite though. It can be served with meals, but I don't think I will repeat it.
