Delicious. Did I drink too much?

Japanese>English

🚢. The nice thing about tastings is that you can drink things that you might not think to buy in a four-pack. I don't often drink super dry, so I'll take this one since I'm in the mood for it. Since I've been drinking sweet sake so far, the dry sake makes me feel "kyuu" in my hungry stomach that hasn't had lunch😅. I wonder if it goes well with sashimi?

Sake degree +12. This is the first time I've had a Junmai Daiginjo that was this dry. You can feel the freshness of new sake while toasting. But it can also be served with a meal. It is also perfect as a saké.

At a ryokan in Chita Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture. After toasting with beer and refilling several beer mugs, we had our first glass of Michisakari chilled. It had a sweet taste and a robust sake flavor that went perfectly with the sashimi. The taste is one thing, but I also learned how to read it for the first time. The menu had furigana written on it, so I was able to order as if I knew how to read it.

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

@sakebar Fukuzo Kobayashi Shuzo Honten located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This will be my first time here too 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. Delicious 🍶✨.

Opened April 6, 2025 Purchased at Hakata station I knew it, this is a good sake from this brewery: ❗️ Although it is called super dry, it actually has a decent rice sweetness. The finish is certainly dry with a sharpness. According to the brewer, he doesn't like sake that is too spicy. I will support it 📣.

The last of the day. Medium-bodied, it gently conveys umami. As a food sake.

This is a sake that the young brewer of Kanbokuto Shuzo challenged to make Junmai Ginjo sake with Gin no Sato and No.7 yeast. It is said to be a limited edition. It has a fruity aroma, a moderate acidity, and a freshness and sweetness that is easy to drink. I often visit the Kanbokuto Sake Brewery and have this sake as my personal favorite sake, but compared to the other sake on sale, the taste is so different that you would think it is from a different brewery.

It's like the masculinity of gusto and honjozo. ♠️ The snow man on the label is a very unlikeable character and I drank it while looking at the label. It's a bit light and easy to drink 🙂 I want to try a hot one next time!

Japanese>English

A modern sake brewed by Aoki Shuzo, famous for Tsururei. It is completely different from the cup of sake Yukio that I drank before. It is sweet with a sour taste, but not cloying and very easy to drink. It was a low-alcohol, fresh summer sake, but when I checked the production date, it was about a year ago.... I think it was sold at room temperature (not in the refrigerator), so I wonder if it is not a summer sake. Well, it tasted good to me, so I don't have a problem with it.
