First brand. Purchased at Kadoya Sake Shop in Osaka. The first impression was "deliciously spicy. It gives the impression of being similar to Nabeshima, but without the gasiness. It has a very careful taste, and it makes you feel relaxed 😙.

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop online. The 500ml bottle of this sake costs about the same as a 1.5 liter bottle, but that's why it's so tasty! I always drink it with a sense of anticipation. Alcohol content 17%. Rice polishing ratio 40%. The first saké has a firm, slightly dry taste. The balance is very good. It is not at all fruity like apples, grapes, pineapple, etc., which are common. It is not gorgeous, but as a food sake, it is a sake that goes well with food and makes you say "delicious". One more sip. As you take another sip and another sip, before you know it, it's gone. It was very delicious! (^O^)

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

It was my first time after all. This flower dew I think I'd like to try heating it up 🆗. It's a dry sake 🍶. They made onigiri (rice balls) on the spot with big plums from the ume pickles! Rice balls and sake go well together! A little sour, these plums! (a little bit of knowledge about Japanese sake) Ingredient rice: Yume Issho Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 14-15 degrees Celsius

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

Next up, on to Keitoh! Unlike the previous Kutouryuu, the sweetness is gone and the dryness has shifted. It resets the oiliness with a refreshing light dryness that is typical of Niigata👍. It has great potential as a food sake!

The wooden vat pressing seems to be a very careful and labor-intensive process. Aroma of maturity, like brown sugar, fills the nose. It makes you salivate a little. It has a nuance of matured sake, a soft mouthfeel with a rich umami flavor, and a sourness that makes the tongue feel tight. It has the same 15% alcohol as Kinjaku, but Haru has a gentler alcohol taste and is easier to drink ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. 🌅🌅

Yasui Sake Brewery's Ikuhashidataro, a sake brewed using the raw yeast method. The sake shop recommended this limited-edition sake made with the finest Shiga Prefecture Ginbukietsu. It had a fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and was refreshing. It was delicious and gone in no time.

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 😋.

I bought it at a sake shop in Kintetsu Department Store. I can't read "mother-of-pearl" 🤣I heard it is read as "Uzume", but if you type "den" for mother-of-pearl in your phone, it will come up 😁. If I lived a normal life, I would never use this kanji 😅. I got the impression it's a pineapple with a bit of bitterness 🍍. It was sweeter when I tasted it, so maybe it's sweeter after some time, but it's 500ml and I can't wait that long 🤣. Maybe the aroma is a bit peculiar.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store's Sake Tour. The label is a sheep kept at the brewery. It has a slight sweetness, and is full, rich, and powerful. It has a strong richness. It might be good if it is laid down. There are graininess and nutty nuances. I guess it's normal for a good price. I didn't buy Yamahai because I didn't want the similar taste to continue, but Yamahai might have been better... It's the third day, but I think it's getting sweeter and tastier than the first day.

Rice used is something from Mie Prefecture Aged for 4 years, pale amber in color. Smoky and graininess with the color as it is. The sweetness is elegant, and the spiciness in the aftertaste has an impact on the throat and nose. It is a little peculiar, but I personally like it! I don't know what the original flavor was, but it has a nice aged feel. ❣️

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

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 😌.

Shizuku-tori sake from my humble favorite, Ikumidoi-san. The aroma is gently fruity. It is berry-like with acidity. The mouthfeel is gentle, but the volume expands with both sweetness and dryness. It has a very beautiful structure with a disappearing aftertaste. A good sake for stand-alone drinking. I think it would also work well as a heated sake, perhaps because of the image of Ikumichii 👌.

Junmai Blend Old sake blend with a strong peculiar taste. It is a little bit strong. Light in mouthfeel but strong in taste. Dry aftertaste. Strong old sake.... Aroma of rice and soy sauce, and a sense of immersion. 86 points Sweetness: 2.4 Acidity: 2.6 Aroma: 2.3 Dryness: 2.5
