No.12, Makiki. This Kyuneki dry sake was from the famous Takachiyo Brewery 😳. I had no idea 💦. When I tried it, oh my! Nice sake✨! Sharpened and clear, followed by umami and dryness 💪. Light but powerful 💪. Goes well with fish 🐟.

Japanese>English

GW has been too hot. It's over 30 degrees Celsius again today 😱. So, I wanted to drink a crisp sake, so I opened a bottle. I wanted to try Makiki. If Takachiyo is good, Makiki must be good too, right? Yes, it is good. It has an apple aroma and a bit tangy. It's a refreshing adult cider-like sake with a moderate sweetness. It is a perfect drink for when the weather is getting hotter.

narrator Beta 1 Citrusy aroma. Slightly dry. Fizzy and foamy. β2 Melon aroma. Slightly sweet. Slightly sweet, with a bubbly taste. Both are refreshing and tasty. You can tell the difference when you compare them. This is a new product from Narai, which used to be very expensive, but is now in a slightly more affordable price range. It is still a little expensive. We are exploring new pubs in front of Matsumoto station. But the cost will be high, so we'll keep it moderate. A bar that leads the daytime drinking scene in Matsumoto. Popular among foreign customers. Open from 13:00 to 19:00. A small bar with a counter and two tables. A lot of sake from Nagano Prefecture are available. Good interaction among customers. The master has a wealth of knowledge about sake and it is a very nice store.

This is the third bottle of the owner's choice. This is the first one I've seen. I have no prior knowledge of this one, so I'm looking forward to this one too 😙. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 16%. 100% Kinmon-Nishiki is used. Memory fails me, but this is probably the first time I've tasted Kinmonnishiki💦. Melon aroma and elegant sweetness. The umami is unique from other sake rice, but that's the good part 😊.

All Gunma Maifu Drinking Set. This time it's Tonenishiki from Nagai Honke in Numata. I've been a customer here for a long time. The color is pale yellow. The original aroma of the rice stands out. It has a rich taste with a sense of maturity. It has the richness that is typical of pure rice, and has a relatively classic taste.

Japanese>English

From the Tone Nishiki brewery, the second in the dancing series, "Dancer". Low-alcoholic sake with a high koji ratio. Chilled. Aromatic or rather sweet aroma with a somewhat mucky atmosphere that reaches deep into the head. It has a complex flavor with a mild, firm sweetness and a grain-like hardness. The acidity gives a clear flavor profile, and there is enough umami to give a satisfying but not lingering sharpness. This may be a flavor I have never tasted before.

Japanese>English

Sake made from Koshihikari rice, 90% polished rice, and once-fired. I chilled it. Slightly grain-like sweet and sour aroma. It has a moist sweetness and rich acidity, with a juicy umami lingering in the aftertaste, creating a luxurious atmosphere. It looks like it could be aged for a long time.

I wanted to drink something smooth, so I opened a bottle of Niigata sake... but it was a bit sweet.

Japanese>English

At the return home. Junmai sake from a local brewery, Takai Shuzo's "Koshinohatsubai". A rare and true gem among spring wild plants, Ki no Mame. It is served with the yolk of an egg. It is a sprout of akebi, and its bitterness and the breath of spring are irresistible. Local shiitake mushrooms are also available. The light and refreshing local sake goes well with this dish, and it is blissful.

The first Toyoshu in a long time is a pure rice sake brewed with the Yamanokami yeast derived from sasayuri (a kind of lily of the valley) that blooms in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine, a sacred place for sake. If you are a sake drinker in Nara, you must try this 😁. Perhaps it was because I was used to light and fruity junmai sake, but it was alcoholic, not too sweet, and had a firm mouthfeel. But it has a modern feel and is easy to drink. Yamano kami yeast was surprisingly not peculiar 🤔. Thank you for the food 🙏. I think I'll go visit Ookami shrine ⛩ again.

It's finally New Year's Eve! For the first time this year, I was able to participate in "Sake-no-Wa" and it was fun and I learned a lot. Thank you very much😊. Now, we are having a limited edition sake that was just pressed this morning. Fresh, crisp, umami, delicious! It's going to be a good New Year's Eve 😋.

Is this the first Aizan for this brand? The sweet flavor is sustained from the first sip.

A refreshing and crisp sake typical of Echigo breweries. Serve it warm. Sake is a breeze created by local rice, water, humanity, and nature. This is exactly what I feel, and I feel the brewer's message and sensibility in likening it to the wind.

Japanese>English

Smooth and sweet around. Smooth with flavor.

Light mouthfeel. The umami slowly creeps up on you. The description "Myoumi desu-dan" shines.

Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!
