This is a local brew from Fukushima that I got as a gift from a friend.......it's hard to find in the Kanto region unless you go to Tochigi.... This is a good choice for a midday meal.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking this brand, but it is handled by a well-known sake store in Aomori, and I have hesitated to mail order it several times. So I was confident that I would not make a mistake. I was torn between this one and the Yukinaka Hakkoda from the same brewery, but I went with this one. At room temperature. The aroma is slightly banana-like. When you drink it, the umami of rice rises thinly, and if you drink it by itself, it will slowly and gently lift you up with its umami and spiciness. It becomes more crisp when paired with cheese. At 40℃, it has a little more rice flavor. The crisp and sharp taste is better than at room temperature. I personally prefer this brand to be served hotter, so I set the temperature at 50°C. The aroma is not too strong and the taste is mild. The aroma is not too strong and remains mild, but the umami comes out slowly, and the sharpness is enhanced by the slight alcohol taste. I personally prefer this temperature. Sake from the southern region is often sharp without being sweet, and I have the impression that this is also the case here. In addition to cheese, it goes well with kinpira, tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of locusts, and ikamentsuchi, a specialty of Aomori. The sake has no cloying taste, and I can sense a high level of technical skill. Next time, I would like to buy some Umakuchi or Sakuta, which has a different character, but with the recent inflation and saturation of brands, I wonder if it will be a problem if they will be able to get them in stock.

The next drink was a Tokujiro for Joyo's distributor? Tokujiro I drank Joyo several times, but this was my first time to drink Tokujiro. I happened to see on a restaurant instagram I follow that Tokujiro was originally a joint product between a Hirakata liquor store and the Joyo Brewery. It's unfiltered, once-bottled, and heated. It's fire-brewed, but it's still slightly effervescent and has a fresh, mellow rice flavor that's really tasty 😋. I'll buy Tokujiro next time I see it.

This is the best one I've ever had. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had the Dewa Sanzu, a summer sake from Tohoku Izumi 😀 It was a very tasty sake with a refreshing summer taste.

Japanese>English

Hiyoroshi with Sake Mirai🌾. The impression is that the tangy acidity stands out when served cold. At room temperature, it becomes slightly milder and easier to drink✨. I had an image of Sake Mirai as sweet, but I don't think this one gives me that impression.

Japanese>English

Salmonotrico, 3rd cup. This is also my first drink. It is a sake brewed with 100% Sake Mirai, but it was delicious, with a moderate sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a melon-like flavor.

Last Friday, while playing mahjong, we compared the hanpukai drinking ‼️ I honestly don't remember much😅. Well, mahjong was fun 🤣. Shinshu sake is usually very good, so you can drink it without worries 👍

Japanese>English

Clean and refreshing taste. It is fresh and easy to drink. The ginjo aroma is also exceptional. It seems to go well with foods from the mountains.

Japanese>English

I bought it because I had never drunk this brewery before and it was 300ml. It has a light banana-like nuance. It is slightly sweet and sour. It is crisp and the aftertaste is short.

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.
