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 ✨.

This naturist sake is made from pesticide-free Yamada Nishiki produced in Itoshima. It is a clean and crisp sake that does not interfere with the bitterness of char-grilled young ayu fish and the enjoyment of the juicy meat of the adult ayu fish. Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15

I would like to try some other sake. We drank a lot of sake in the Gokuraku set, but this is the second Izakaya? It's almost ready ^ ^.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

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!

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.

It has the perfect ratio of deliciousness and dryness. I didn't drink the Junmai Ginjo because I posted about it before, but this is also a great sake!

Store Drinking. HITOGOKICHIKI 100% The color is clear or slightly amber. The aroma is that of rice. When you sip it, you will taste the flavor of rice. It has a dry ALC feel. There is no fruity sweetness, and the taste is stoic. The rice sweetness remains until the end, with a rounded aftertaste. It has the impression of a Junmai Doshin🎯 royal road.

😁 Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 15 I drank the sake I missed yesterday today. I went to Ueda, so I bought a bottle of Wada Ryutonomizu. It was a delicious hiyaoroshi with a good taste of rice. None of the people I drank with today knew about it. I thought it was pretty famous in my opinion, but... Is that so?

The rice used is Asahi rice produced in Okayama Prefecture. This is a good food sake that can be drunk easily. It has just a hint of sweetness, with a crisp, bitter and spicy finish. There is nothing to hold you back, so you can't help but drink it. This is one of the several bottles I purchased from Doroki Sake Store, including the Koei Kiku, under the guidance of MAJ. I would like to thank you again for the good sake ^_^.

The third cup is "Ooga" jungin non-filtered raw! (First picture, left side) The mouthfeel is mild and gentle, a far cry from the dryness of the previous section. The strength of the original sake, the sweet and delicious flavor of the rice, and a hint of cream-like aroma are very appealing!

Japanese>English

The aroma is gentle, with just a hint of umami and acidity on the palate. It is dry and crisp with no lingering aftertaste. It's a good sake to drink while eating! It's also good to drink as a finish after drinking something else😊.

Cool. This label. I have never seen this in Osaka. It is so-called "aluzoe. The impression is that you can feel the presence of rice in the beginning, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. Oh, I want to eat sushi!

Japanese>English

My brother went to a sake event in Niigata, He found a sake that he liked and shared it with me. With all due respect, I had never heard of this brand. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was unassertive. When you drink it, it is sweet but well balanced, It is not too sweet, but has a sharp taste and disappears quickly. It is delicious, and at 17%, it is very drinkable. It is easy to drink with meals.

Brewed by Oomon Shuzo in Shinbonda, Niigata Oomon Yume Junmai Ginjo When I drank it In the blink of an eye The mouth is quickly filled with water, Then, in the blink of an eye, the sweetness and umami sweetness and umami spread throughout the throat in the blink of an eye. And yet there is a sharpness in the aftertaste. What a wonderful sake!

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.
