It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

The rice used is Hitogochiki from Nagano Prefecture. Refreshing and crisp aftertaste, just like a summer sake. The sweetness is moderate, but the umami is also present in its own way. It is a sake that needs to be cooled down to the perfect temperature.

Today is my day off, so I took a walk around Sunpu Castle, Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine, and Nihon Taira! I've always wanted to visit Kunouzan and Nihondaira, but the view of the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Fuji from Nihondaira is fantastic👍. On the way home, I took a sip. When I opened the bottle, it had a melon-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but the melon-like sweet and astringent taste comes through in a jiffy, giving it a gorgeous flavor. However, the assertion itself gradually settles down and changes to a spiciness, so it is not too heavy for a nama-zake and is easy to drink! Tomorrow is the second half of Shizuoka life. I'll do my best!

🙂 Next was Aozora. I thought it would be sweet because it was nigori, but it was dry. You would think it would be sweet because of the pink label. It was refreshing and easy to drink.

500ml ¥1,755 It's been a year and a half since I've had this 💦. It's definitely delicious though😅😅. Now let's open the bottle 🎵 The perfect balance of refreshing sweet and bitter 😆. Super yummy 😋!

Not much aroma. Slightly yellowish. The sake is junmai sake, so you would expect it to be robust, but it has a light mouthfeel. The light sweetness and acidity are pleasant. It is only 500 ml, so it ran out quickly. I wonder if I should throw it away or reuse it after drinking out of the Italian bottle every time. I'm a poor person, aren't I?

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I had my first glass of Drunken Heart, which I bought at Hiroshima Station when I was in Hiroshima City on business 😋. The aroma is mild 🤔I can feel the umami of rice in the mouth 😚 I can feel a little sweetness, but it goes down smoothly 😊. I felt it is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed with food or as a stand-alone sake 🥳.

We bought it at Shiramizu Sake Shop in Takaramachi, Kasuga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The owner was very kind and explained a lot about sake, and when I told him I prefer fruity sake, he recommended this sake. When I asked him about the meaning of "oishu", he told me that it means to store new sake at a low temperature for a long time. It was a good learning experience. It stung me because I like it sweet. Thank you to the owner who introduced me to this delicious sake.

Purchased at Traveling SAKE Sparkling with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is very sweet and sour. The flavor is a little bit peculiar, but it's delicious.

Aged Sake. As the name suggests, the aroma of the barrels is amazing! Is the aroma already edible? It is about as oaky as it gets! (I mean that as a compliment.) I think it is one of the pleasures to enjoy the aroma, but it goes really well with strong-flavored snacks.

Third hiyaoroshi of the year🍁 Yummy 😻trolly and thick💪. On the first day of opening the bottle, it was still a bit "onen" and the alcohol smell was a bit stingy, but from the second day it started to show its true potential✨. Slightly dry with a deep rice taste and aroma. The back label recommends chilled, but I also liked it at room temperature 😋.

Purchased at the Yamagata Antenna Shop in Ginza. Slightly soft ginjo aroma. Lightly sweet. Especially when you bite into it, it has the delicate sweetness of a snow goddess. I drank it after taking a bath.

Last sake I bought last year as a Kumamoto souvenir. If I have a chance to visit Kumamoto again, I would like to visit Aso and Kikuchi area 😌. When opened and poured, it has a sweet aroma like sugar and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is crisp and immediately afterwards has the plumpness of rice plus the sweet and spicy taste of brewer's alcohol. The flavor is stable from start to finish, with a delicious standard taste! The unadorned taste is a perfect accompaniment to a meal 👍. I would like to visit 4 unexplored prefectures (Kochi, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa), but there are many places I would like to revisit. 🗺️

The first sake brewery. Sake made with Hananishiki rice and Kumamoto yeast. Slightly acidic. The harmony of sweet and spicy is well-balanced and easy to drink.

Next, here is a bottle from ‼️ that was Miyajima's recommendation for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai. ‼️ To be honest, I can't really tell the difference 😅 although the richness of the orikagarami is better. I just keep reaching for the ogara-mi 😆. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it better for eating 😋. Either way it's delicious, so this comparison is a lot of fun ‼️4

❀(*´▽`*)❀🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I got a limited edition Junmai Daiginjo from Ting today 😀. I was drawn to the limited edition label because it seems that from this year they have changed from Daiginjo to Junmai Daiginjo 😁. The aroma is gorgeous 🥰The mouthfeel is smooth 😊The sweetness is moderate but the flavor is beautiful and firm 😘The acidity is sharp to finish 😍This was a very delicious sake.
