It is that time of year again! This year's Mr. Summer Time was a grand presentation event, inviting circus members to the Kanmei Sake Brewery for a mini-concert of sorts. I couldn't go, though. The aroma of this year's product is a little subdued. I like that mewashi aroma, though. The mouthfeel is strong and dark, and the harmony of umami and sweetness is wonderful! It is a departure from the low-alcohol, light summer sake style, and is more like a munchy, dirty summer night. Despite the strong flavor, the sharpness of the sake is very refreshing, so it is easy to drink. Of all the summer liquors, this one is my favorite. Thank you very much for your kindness!

A drink with Hoya, rejoicing in the daily medal rush! Hmm! Am I eating nothing but sea squirts every week? No, no, no, no. Summer in Sendai is all about morning hoya! Summer sake from my favorite brewery, Kanbai! I'll have to drink it! The Kamidachi aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but it's moist and calm, very nice! The aroma of Kanbai's sake is so nice! It is the top of my favorite. It has a fruity sweetness, a chasing acidity, and a pleasant aroma with a sweet, sour and bitter aroma. The bitterness and the faint acidity make it a perfect beer. A true adulterous love for adults! It's so good! Thank you for the meal!

Japanese>English

It is easy to drink and tastes delicious with a modest sweetness while retaining the fine sweet bitterness sensation of Miyaganbai! The subtle bitterness and gentle lingering taste is sexy 😊.

One would think this sake would be peculiar because of its dark color, but it is a classy sake with a slight ginjo aroma. It is a little sweet on the palate, but has a smooth and soft taste. It is a delicious sake that is easy to drink.

(ˊ일ˋ )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and cheer 📣✊. This sake is from Shimizu Sake Brewery in Kawai-cho, Wajima, which suffered a big fire after the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The building was not completely destroyed or destroyed by fire, but there was a lot of damage 😢This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. The aroma is only a little, and the sake is a solid amber color🤔It says it is dry, but it has a refreshing umami taste😊The sweetness and acidity are moderate and the aftertaste is super refreshing😚✨You will not get tired of drinking it and it will go down easy😇 It's a delicious sake that can reset your palate during a meal 🥳👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.

Purchased in Toshima-ku, Tokyo♪ Alcohol content@15.0 to 16.0 Sake degree@+6.0 Acidity @ 1.4 Rice used@Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio@60 Personal Recommendation@3.8/5.0 I recommended Sake Cost Sake Brewery to my daughter who was looking for a part-time job at an izakaya after school, but she was told that there was no part-time position available at the restaurant she wanted and they were not hiring, so she decided to go to another Italian bar. I thought she might be able to drink cheaper with the family discount, but alas 😢. Since the last Ryuki was sweet, we wanted to try something a little dry, so we went looking for some Shizuoka sake 🤗. I don't have an image of Shizuoka sake as a modern sake, but I wonder if there is any 😅. Well, I took it out of the fridge and drank it cold 😃. Yes, it's refreshingly dry but surprisingly soft on the palate and easy to drink 😗. I thought this would definitely taste better lukewarm 🍶, so I warmed it up and the mouthfeel became softer and softer 🍶❣️ It is not a sake that has any special characteristics, but the price is reasonable, so it is worth buying 🤭.

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

Japanese>English

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

Honjozo 🍶. Quite refreshing, like water. Dry. Does not get in the way of eating good food. Perfect score as a daily sake 💯. Purchased at Sugatoyo Sake Shop @ Kesennuma 20230103

Japanese>English

I had it on a trip to Sanriku. It has a nice, calm taste, and it just keeps going and going. We visited a sake brewery just before the trip and were allowed to taste various kinds of sake, which was a nice experience!

Japanese>English

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.

It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Japanese>English

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

Japanese>English

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.
