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.

This is unique. Mouthful of "nothing". Mellow and tasty water. It is not a fresh and clear water, but a mellow and chunky water. The alcohol taste comes out after the middle of the bottle, but there is no moment when you can feel the taste of the water. Would it taste better if it were heated up? No, it probably just gets warmer... Hmmm, I wonder what the brewer was thinking when he made this sake.

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

First time to drink a Hokkaido sake 🍶Fresh citrusy aroma? Sweet and bitter on the palate...maybe a little bitter....sharp aftertaste! The aftertaste is good, but... a little bit of a tangy taste? I wonder if it is a characteristic of the sake rice... is it like this? Hmmm... it's a little bitter...

Japanese>English

(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had a hiyayoroshi of Ezokuma from Hokkaido 😀. The aroma is mild 😊The sourness and umami taste you feel in your mouth is well balanced, with a slight sweetness😚It has a strong flavor 💕It has a good sharpness 🤔It is a delicious sake that would go well with anything 😘.

Japanese>English

The rice is comet. It is sweeter than the junmai ginjos I have had in the past. After the gentle, fluffy sweetness, the bitterness comes quickly and then converges. It gives the impression of being sweet and bitter. Well, I regret buying Gokotsuru when I had a hard time deciding.

Weak smell and aroma, you can feel the taste if alcohol. 3.5/5 ✖️ don't buy again: it's a welcome change from the softer Junmai Daiginjo we usually have, but it isn't my favourite.

The second bottle recommended by the proprietress This sake is smooth with a hint of sweetness. It does not have the flat alcohol taste that is often associated with super dry sake, but has a fruity and robust umami flavor. It is also delicious. ❣️

Late night at the diner. The second one is a limited edition sake that is sold only on two days before the brewery opens. This year's bottle is called "Gokuragiri Limited Edition" on the label. This one has a sweet taste of rice. It's different from the earlier Sukkiri, but it's thicker. It's not my favorite, but it's the kind of sake I want to drink a little bit of every day. Yummy, yummy 😋

720ml ¥1,540 I remember drinking it so long ago that I don't remember it at all 😁I looked to buy it at my usual store, but they only sold liqueur almost all the time 🎵. Melon flavor ❗This is a delicious one 😆. It comes in refreshingly crisp and the sweetness is the main ingredient, with a low acidity but not a sticky sweetness, it disappears with a hint of bittersweetness😃. I knew it was good, I had no doubt in my memory 😋.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka ③. The booth of "Kirai" in Tokushima. They brought only their standard products this time. Kirai (black) Tokubetsu Junmai The taste is slightly umami. Kirai (silver) Junmai Daiginjo The umami and sweetness are sweet and delicious. Very tasty. Kibuki River This sake is made with water from the Anabuki River (the original kanji), which flows close to the brewery. The water has a strong acidity, but is also tasty and refreshing. It is also very tasty. ◉Kirai (Aka) Ginjo-Junmai (Houjun) Aromatic and umami, with the typical Junmai rice-derived acidity. All of the wines at this booth were delicious. They will be bringing their Kirai (blue) to the National Sake Fair, which they did not bring this time.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku This sake has a very good name for those who like dry sake! I say "dry" but it's dry with a nice sharpness! It was very cold, so it may not be at its full potential, but I'm sure it would be very tasty heated up. It's a pity that there was no heated sake corner this time! The other Umakuchi was a Junmai that was straight-up delicious! The umami is so strong that you can feel it even when it's cold! I think I'd like to try it lukewarm!

The last of the three drinks is here 🍶. Harada Junmai Ginjo Hal Araubashiri The aroma of wood like cedar, the strong aroma of rice, the soft umami, and the gentle aftertaste. As I mentioned before, the acidity was noticeably stronger than the "Harada Gengetsu" I've had so far 🤔. It has a clean and beautiful taste, so this is delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. It has a nice tropical fruit-like sweetness and flavor with a tangy, slightly effervescent taste. Finishes with bitterness. I've rarely had Harada, but I'd like to try more. Even after a few days, it still has a gaseous taste, but the bitterness is more pronounced than when it is freshly opened.

Japanese>English

Discover Sake in Yamaguchi Prefecture✨. This is our first check-in in Yamaguchi Prefecture! So, Manager! Harada, please! Goes well with meat dishes? Lamb, then! Take a bite... it's rich! Delicious! Dry and full of rice flavor! I could feel it! As the manager said, it's as good as any meat dish! Everyone, I highly recommend 🍖×Harada.

The aroma is not very strong, but you can feel the fruity scent from a distance. The mouthfeel is a little sweet, but it is very refreshing and easy to drink. Today's pairing is deep-fried lotus root. You can feel the flavor of sake without disturbing the meal. I might like this sake from Shizuoka. ^_^

Japanese>English

It doesn't say it, but according to the official instagram, it's unfiltered raw sake. He requested to drink something similar to Okura (Asahi direct pumping), and I thought this would be the one with the similar taste. It's not as sweet as Okura, but the acidity is effective and it's juicy and delicious.

Japanese>English

My fridge is back, so I'm back to buying booze! My impression is that it's quite spicy. Also, the alcohol smell is too strong for me. The flavor is reminiscent of flowers. Overall, it's a unique type that I've never had before.
