The sweetness with a hint of tenderness and spiciness 😄]. This sake is brewed by a sake brewery famous for its Kimmiya shochu. I saw Sanad and Nemuchi rave about this brand a long time ago, and it was on my list of things to drink. The sweet and gentle aroma is pleasant. It has a pleasant sweetness in the mouth and a long, lingering spiciness after swallowing. It has a strong alcoholic taste and a rather robust flavor. This is one of my favorite types 😋. It is good with simmered dishes in Japanese cuisine. It has a wide range of dishes that can be matched with western food as well👍.

This is a gift from an acquaintance, a long aged honjozo. It has a beautiful amber color with a good balance between the full flavor of the rice and the aroma like Shaoxing wine, and it goes well with strong meals.

This was my first Koganezawa, a gift from someone. It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from Gohyakumangoku, so I had an image that it was quite refreshing, but it tasted just as it should. But it also has a strong umami of rice and is easy to drink without any peculiarities 😆 It is easy to pair with meals and I was off in no time 🤣. It was easy to match with meals and we finished it in no time 🤣.

A bit peculiar but not bitter 🤔. This is a food wine 🍶´- with assorted sashimi 😋😋. Untan ✺✺ and (,,-д-,) nma! There were so many good sakes, but I'm interested in the ones I've never had 😅. I have some pics... but I think I probably drank a little... There were about 4 that I didn't take note of my impressions (¡-ᴗ-;ก)

It's a nice day 🌈 Now, I was expecting a fluchy since it was described as delicious in a glass of wine.... I guess it's not, it's more like slightly dry and tasty 😋. And very fresh 🎉. and the aroma and flavor of rice 🎉. I thought it would go well with any dish, Japanese or Western 👍✨.

Acidity Flamboyant Fragrant Thick Astringent

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Japanese>English

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

First encounter since the change from Fukuhime at the Hakata Station event. The first sniff was like a sacred wine But I didn't mind from the second sniff. The taste is more modern, but I could feel a little alcohol. Since it's a nokumi, it's very exciting to see how it will change from here.

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

Japanese>English

Kumamoto purchased sake. I imagined it to be robust, but it seems to be more fruity. Is it because it is raw? I debuted pre-salt. Yes, it is. It might be Tokumiso in winter and pre-salt in summer.

Noge with his eldest son and his wife (1) On Saturday, I received a line from my eldest son saying, "I'm thinking of going to a bedrock bath near our house on Sunday and would like to have dinner afterwards. (My wife went to Izumo where our daughter was staying. (My wife has gone to Izumo with our daughter and Takamatsu with her mother-in-law, so she invited me out since she is alone?) I asked him, "Okay, what time? I asked him what time, and he said noon. There are not many places near my house where you can drink from noon, so we ended up going to Noge. First "shellfish" restaurant I've ever been to. Kikuyu with hot sake (it was a little cold and rainy) 🍶. My oldest son's wife is a sake drinker, so it was perfect! This is my first time drinking it! And I don't usually drink it hot, so I don't know what it is, but it's nice 😋. I can feel the acidity. And the aroma comes in fluffy. I guess I was right in heating it up. Don't eat too much, let's go to the next restaurant!

Japanese>English

LOL! I drank it before I took the picture, not caring that the 12 month challenge was over. I ate my snacks before I could even taste them lol. I have a favorite drink. I have delicious food! I am happy!

Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Japanese>English

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

Japanese>English

I caught some bonito, so I hit the Tosa sake. Although it is a Tosa sake, I did not go to Kochi to get it! Since it's a heated bottle, of course it's served heated. p It's a delicious sake with sweet and spicy flavors. The bonito was made into tataki, a standard dish. It's very tasty because it's fresh.
