［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival 10] I'm on my 10th cup of sake 😁. I was looking for my favorite "Hakugakusen" and found that it was only available on the first day of the event, so I went here instead 🍶. Unnoi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo. Banana-like aroma, gentle sweetness on the palate, and a lingering mild umami aftertaste. I have a connection with "Kumonoi" since I brought it to the Kansai Sake-no-Iwa offline meeting I attended last summer, and it is still delicious when I drink it again.

This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift last year. I've been accumulating a stock of sake, so I decided to drink it slowly. It's a rare opportunity to see a bottle of sake in a tobin enclosure! It makes my heart dance ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell a slight ginjo aroma. It is almost scentless. The mouthfeel is very clean, but the soft, milky sake quality and subtle sweetness of the rice gradually covers the tongue! The spiciness and the strength of 16% alcohol can be felt in the latter half of the bottle, but the overall flavor is moderate. I think I have not had such a clear sake since I drank the highest quality sake of "Akagisan" (12,000 yen for 720ml)! It is as pure as a gentle breeze. It quietly accompanies you from the beginning to the end. The taste is the very embodiment of "elegance. It is a good bottle to drink by itself or to enjoy as a food wine! Enjoy it carefully over the course of the day👍.

［The 2nd Bishu Competition Tasting Event ⑫ Tasting report finally comes to an end! Let's see how many drinks you can drink with the remaining tickets 😁. Unnoi Ginjo Koshu Hinichishin It has a golden color reminiscent of whisky, an aged aroma similar to soy sauce, a smooth mouthfeel with a caramel-like sweetness and a unique aged aroma, and a punchy burnt caramel aroma with a light aftertaste. This one had been aged since 1993, and it tasted like it was about to wake up to old sake✨.

Junmai 🍶. Hot sake. about 55 degrees. ♨️ Sweet umami. Slightly dry aftertaste, not mellow. Mellow and gentle. ☺️ My wife says it's like a rice ball 🍙. Full of rice flavor. choinomi KATSU@Takasaki station 20240204

It's a little bit more expensive, but It's a very elegant, sweet drink! It's kind of like the sweetness of a muscat! It's 500ml, so it'll be drunk in no time!

Japanese>English

It's foamy! I'm sure it's just cider or something. Mild sweetness, or is it the sweetness of the cage? Clear aftertaste! It's delicious 😋.

I've always been curious about the brand ❗️ Finally got around to drinking it😊. The aroma is subdued: ❗️ The sweetness is just a hint of sweetness. It has a good flavor of rice when it is on the lees 😄. The taste is silky and clean, probably due to the use of Koshihikari rice. The taste is silky and refreshing. ❗️ There is also a sense of gas and even after a few days, it still tingles 😆. It is a very nice wine. As it says on the label, it is a very delicious sake that goes well with any meal. It's a very tasty sake that goes well with any meal as it says on the label 👍 I would like to try other sake as well: ‼️

Junmai Nama Nama Sake 🍶Non-pressurized Nakakumi ✨. Sweet, pleasant ☺️I had an image of strong sea sake, but this one has a gentle taste. However, it still goes well with sashimi👍That day we were drinking with 3 coworkers, so we had a gorgeous 5-piece sashimi platter (millet, horse mackerel, sea bass, flatfish, and seared albacore) 😆 Thank you very much. Udo tempura is also delicious 😋. Sea and @Takadanobaba 20240312

Hot Temperature Cooled Sake Firm Room Temperature Gentle Umami Acidity Dry

Fusozuru 1

Fusozuru 2

Fusozuru 3

The last one is Fusozuru. It will be served warm. The top-tasting aroma is that of thick rice. The mouthfeel is clear and the umami of rice is directly conveyed. The aftertaste has a slightly matured or aged feel to it, but I think this is what makes the umami so convincing. The finish is soft and fluffy, with a soft acidity and astringency. The image is quite dandy and austere. Fuso is an old Japanese alias, but when I think of Fuso, I think of the Mitsubishi Fuso truck or the battleship Fuso of the Imperial Navy. In the arcade game "1943," which I was addicted to when I was in junior high school, the sinking of the Fuso was the climax of the first half of the game. I like the sound of "Fuso". Thank you for the food!

Amount used: Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Fruity, clear and round in the mouth There is no sense of maturity, and the more you drink, the more the flavor expands. This is a good sake. ❣️ It was delicious: ‼️

Miyakanbai's PB brand Miyamanishiki 55% Koji, Manamusume 65% Kake The aroma is rather subdued, but it has a clean, fruity aroma of white peaches, pears and apples. The taste is juicy and sweet like honey apple, just like drinking fruit juice! The alcohol content is a little strong, but it is easy to drink with a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste. It is as beautiful and delicious as one would expect from Miyakanbai.

It has a fresh fruity aroma. The sharpness is also quite good. Personally, I prefer Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo.

Another bottle was opened at the Kizuna Festival. Golden crystal that saw the light of day at Izakaya Shinkansen. Gold Crystal label expressed with a characteristic figure. It is one of my personal favorite labels. The top-tasting aroma has a very classical sake flavor. The mouthfeel has a light umami from a hint of sweetness. First contact is lighter than expected. The finish is again full of sake-like aftertaste, with a mild acidity and a strong bitterness. I had imagined it to be a more mellow and stand-alone sake, but it is considered to be a high performance food sake. During the festival, I served it with tempura and dried scallops that I bought and brought with me, and it was quite good! Thanks for the food!

Japanese>English

Tonight I'm having this one 🍶. I got this on my trip to Fukushima last month! I've been wanting to drink this since I saw it on Izakaya Shinkansen 🍶✨. They are the only sake brewery in Fukushima city😃. Mellow, refreshing, oicy❕. The aroma is slightly fluffy 💠. Slightly crisp but still mild 🌸🍶✨. This is a great one ❕. I'm glad I found you 😆. I also love the fukushima saké💗. It's very tasty.

Purchased with Ayagiku at Okura Sake Shop. It has a gentle sweetness and is refreshing. The acidity gives the impression of a tightening effect. I heard that they also have a draft sake, so I would like to try it. I wonder if I can buy all the sake introduced in dancyu.

Hana-Shume," a sake from a revived brewery in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture, which was featured on Tokoro-san's "Laughing at You" last fall. We were lucky enough to get an assortment set (❓trial set) of 3 sake for souvenirs, so we compared them! Here is the next one! Hanashoumi Special Junmai (orange label) The aroma is also slightly citrus 🍊. On the palate, the four tastes of sweetness, umami, bitterness and acidity are beautifully balanced. This can be served as a food sake 👍.

Japanese>English

First brand I've ever had! Lovely name🌸. Aroma is clean, yet gorgeous! Good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity... firm but with a clean aftertaste! Another great sake I've found😊.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin, 30 bottles of Niigata sake cups 🎉Chapter 1 Sweet and sour. Zarame. Gentle ☺️. Good with Hokkaido Hakkaku sashimi to get rid of the cloying taste👍Good with fat rather than plain white meat 😋Warmed up to 50 degrees, mild. The riceiness is up, and the acidity is softened. It also has a sweetness. Order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami, drink at home 20240315

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

Solid closing brew.

Yamada Nishiki. After a long time. The sweetness and umami are in the right place. In the middle, the umami expands and becomes a little fresh.
