Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.
When I went sightseeing in the old town in Hida Takayama, I stopped by a store that was not a sake brewery but a direct sales store where I could sample sake for a fee. It is located right in the middle of the tourist area. This is the Oda Sake Brewery, the originator of Onikoroshi. Older Sake Brewery Kamiminomachi Branch You put a coin from the server and drink it. A coin is 300 yen for 36 ml. Hida Boast Onikoroshi Junmai Namaishu It is fresh but dry with a strong alcohol taste. Junmai Ginjo Hida Takayama I selected this sake by looking at the sake level, and found that it was the same as the one I drank at the Japanese Sake Festival. It had more flavor than the previous sake and was a true sake. There was a signature of Wakako Sake with "Pshu". 🖊️

Something I got from a work colleague. Thank you 😊 Unfortunately, it was completely 'old', probably due to extremely poor storage conditions (at the dealership). It had a strong sense of rice, and I could feel a glimpse of the rich dry taste, but the aftertaste was so uncomfortable that I gave up after one glass. We decided to serve it as a cooking sake from now on.

My wife bought this series💕 I heard it's 📌720ml ¥ secret! I'll get back to you as soon as I can 🍶. Not much aroma but mild 💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is light and refreshing💕 It goes down smoothly💕 It has a nice sharpness to it💕The spiciness comes a little later but not unpleasant 👍 I think it's a food wine. Today's pairing is pork with ginger 👍 It goes well with it💕and doesn't interfere with it💕. Delicious ✌️! The alcohol content is 15-16 degrees, but it seems to be higher 😓It goes around 🥵. Thanks to my wife again today💕 Thank you ✌️thank you👍

#Hamamatsu# I went back to my parents' home in Hamamatsu during Golden Week. I left Tokyo around 3pm in the afternoon. Tomei Expressway had zero traffic jam 😯 Surprised 😆. It was good to move at the time to spend in the holiday resort 🤔. Arrived at my hometown and bought gyoza (dumplings) and sake (sake) at my parents' house. Knowing that "Hana no Mai" was waiting for me. I bought this sake and went home. It was very spicy 🤯 and bitter at first. Not bad 😅

The second drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was my first sake from a brewery. It was Otokoyama Honten's Kesennuma Otokoyama Nanbu-style dry sake. Again, the waitress told me that it was not to my liking, but..., But I took it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the traditional sake flavor. However, it is not only sake-like, but also has a slight sweetness and a complex flavor unique to junmai (pure rice). The mouthfeel is smooth, and the spiciness finishes it off quickly, so it goes well with food and is very easy to drink. It was a sake that made me realize that there are many different ways to enjoy sake.

At home. This was a gift from my wife, who had been watching my daily posts on Sake-no-wa, as she was addicted to sake. I was happy to receive this gift, but at the same time, I wondered if it was safe to order it online. I have to admit that I was a little concerned. After taking some commemorative photos, I was ready to try it. The aroma was fruity. When I put it in my mouth, it had a fresh, slight carbonation, a strong sourness and sweetness, and a strong bitterness at the end, making it very easy to drink. I thought to myself that continuing to drink will produce various effects, and I will continue to enjoy my life of drinking.

Snowy Matsushima, a gift This type of sake comes in a box with an ostentatious string tied around the neck of the bottle. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but there is a sense of bitter alcohol in the back. The mouthfeel is clean, sweet and delicious, with a clear sake quality and no unpleasant alcohol taste, making it a quintessential expensive sake. It also has a nice sharpness from the mild bitterness. It was a treat!

The ultimate muddy! 100%, no, 120% muddy. It was my first time! I twisted the lid and thought it wouldn't blow out, but when I let my guard down, it started to blow out and I hurried to close it. I spilled a little bit. I decided to think it was an angel share. It wasn't, but.., I poured it into a glass, and it was a sludge. I wondered if there was any top liquid in Shirakawa-go and Hida. I am happy to see that there is no top clear water in Hida. In the mouth, a good sense of heaviness. Very satisfied! The taste is, of course, gorigo nigori! So it is delicious,

This Sake is light, clean and dry. There is a cucumber flavor that I found hard to detect because of the broiled saba I was eating. 😛
It tastes like a dry amazake with a fizzy, fizzy taste, full of flavor, and very drinkable.

Good evening! 😀 It's June and the weather is like a cold rainy season, so I don't know what to wear 😅. Tomorrow, it's going to be 2 degrees lower than today. I wonder if the weather will continue to be so bad 😱. The general meeting at the end of last month was held at a local grand hotel, and the sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai from the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery. The sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai by Kikunoji Sake Brewery. It is not sticky-sweet, but rather light and easy to drink. If the sake is not made with the same level of care and attention as the all-you-can-drink sake, more and more people will leave the sake industry, and short-term tricks will not be effective these days. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you 😁.

1.8L 4100 yen, 15% alcohol by volume, 55% rice polishing ratio, sake degree +6, acidity 1.3, purchased yesterday at Kami Sake Shop in Aomori City. Aomori Prefecture has a few official bottles, but Iwate and Miyagi prefectures have few. It is easy to drink and sweet at first, but the dryness slowly spreads and finishes later.

Now on a trip to Ishikawa (sudden) Since I'm going to be there, I'd like to stock up on local sake, preferably the kind that is not available in other prefectures... Checking in is a bottle of aged Nanafukujin sake that I drank a long time ago. I don't even remember where I drank it, but I remember it was a very old sake with a strong flavor and aged aroma. I heard that the liquor store I often go to is planning to end the sale of it soon, so I might go there to stock up on it.

At home. This is the second Tottori sake, and seems to be a popular type of Chiyomusubi. The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt well. I thought it would have a robust flavor, given the name "strong" sake rice, but it was round and mild on the palate, and very easy to drink for its 18% alcohol content. It is a long-established sake brewery located on Mizuki Shigeru Road, and even inside the store there are yokai (monsters)... The third one is the god of rice paddies called Tanokami, who is said to protect the rice harvest. ⁉️ The fourth one is the mouse man that you all know. Unfortunately, it was raining, so we didn't have a long tour, but many yokai welcomed tourists on both sides of the road. ‼️

The eyeballs and the fathers were a jackpot. The rice has a firm flavor with a The taste of firm rice with a unique flavor. The sealed seal on the bottle reads, "Drink the secret sake of the monsters. The seal of "Drink this secret sake" is also understandable. The rice polishing ratio is 50%, which is equivalent to Junmai Daiginjo.
