Caramelly Stiff Nutty Nutty Hot Temperature

Takatsugawa" Junmai-shu from Fusozuru's brewery We ordered this sake from Kotobukiya in Atsugi in January 2023, and it was commented on Kotobukiya's website as "a hidden gem for home drinking". It has been stored at room temperature for 2 years and 9 months since it came to our house, and it has further changed color and has some ooze. At room temperature, it has a matured, savory, and peculiar taste (this peculiarity is also its charm). It is still not hot enough at lukewarm temperature, but when the temperature is raised to 50℃ or higher, it is nice and full-bodied, The caramel-like sweetness spreads and attracts the taste buds. It is a great everyday evening sake, and can be kept at room temperature after opening, and is also suitable for aging.

Japanese>English

Last of the day. The richness of the flavor per se is fresh and transitional.

Japanese>English

It tastes like typical sake. Here is a description. This sake is made with only 70% sake rice so that the original flavor of the rice can be enjoyed. It is a sake that can be enjoyed as an affordable everyday evening drink. In winter, we recommend heating it up and enjoying it with hot pot dishes.

I wonder if it tastes old-fashioned for the label😅. It has a good flavor, but it's also very sour: ❗️ I think it's difficult for people who don't like sake 🙏. The sweetness increases as the temperature goes up. I would like to try it warmed up next time. ❗️ It tastes like it would go well with strong flavored food or oily food 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tatsusen is a first. The rice called "Kyo no Hana No.1" is also new to me. The name alone might make you think it is Kyoto rice😅. It seems to be a phantom rice revived by the Tatsusen brewery. Is the aroma a little peculiar? It has a beautiful and elegant fruity taste. It's hard to describe its complexity. It is a light sake. There is a strong sense of extract and grain. The acidity is strong at the end. It has a caramel-like taste. The overall impression is dry. Fruity and dry?

Japanese>English

The third shot was Tatsuzumi, Sashiu-san's gift sake. It's so bitter, isn't it? Tatsusen! It is said to be a special blend of Junmai-Nigori and Jungin-Nigori, so I imagined it to be cloudy and heavy, but contrary to its appearance, it is light and easy to drink with a light gasiness and sweet acidity from a clear dry base. This is also a horse! Thank you very much for the meal!

A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

Japanese>English

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.

I was curious why it says sweet on purpose😅. It's not like the popular fluffy fluty It's a solid sweet sake 👘. So, you know... It was great with light red bean paste sweets, cheese, teriyaki, etc 🎵. Recommended to drink at room temperature or lukewarm, but it was also possible to drink it a little chilled 👍✨.

On the Shinkansen on the way back from a business trip to Kyoto. Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of alcohol. The taste is light, slightly aromatic and dry. When drinking it in a can, it is nice that the aroma comes in a flurry when the can is opened. It is also good to drink on the way home from a business trip to feel the end of the business trip.

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Go-around Rokkomichi 1/5 It was my first time to participate in a go-around! I was excited and thrilled from the morning. I couldn't work today... lol. It was like a field trip for adults. I visited 5 stores in the Rokko-michi area in Kobe! First of all, here is the shaken sake. As I stood nervously at the counter, my neighbor spoke to me. He said, "How many restaurants have you been to?" I said, "This is the first one. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is my first time drinking Miyakotsuru. It is very dry. It is light. I asked for breast meat with kombu-jime egg yolk and chicken skin with wasabi and soy sauce. I thought it was a little strong. But it goes well with sake! This time, the theme for me was "matching the dish". I'm on the train now on my way home. Because I have to work NOW tomorrow.... I'll be posting more soon.......!

Purchased in Toshima-ku, Tokyo♪ Alcohol content@15.0 to 16.0 Sake degree@+6.0 Acidity @ 1.4 Rice used@Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio@60 Personal Recommendation@3.8/5.0 I recommended Sake Cost Sake Brewery to my daughter who was looking for a part-time job at an izakaya after school, but she was told that there was no part-time position available at the restaurant she wanted and they were not hiring, so she decided to go to another Italian bar. I thought she might be able to drink cheaper with the family discount, but alas 😢. Since the last Ryuki was sweet, we wanted to try something a little dry, so we went looking for some Shizuoka sake 🤗. I don't have an image of Shizuoka sake as a modern sake, but I wonder if there is any 😅. Well, I took it out of the fridge and drank it cold 😃. Yes, it's refreshingly dry but surprisingly soft on the palate and easy to drink 😗. I thought this would definitely taste better lukewarm 🍶, so I warmed it up and the mouthfeel became softer and softer 🍶❣️ It is not a sake that has any special characteristics, but the price is reasonable, so it is worth buying 🤭.

Hiraccio's recommendation? I went to a U-shaped restaurant in Kawagoe, which was recommended by Mr. Hiraccio. The place is crowded with regulars. It is a good place for a quick drink. I wanted to drink tenkasu, but I had to heat it up. It tastes gentle. The label on the back is poetic. I said I could drink it quickly, but it was too long.

Japanese>English

The mouthfeel is soft and disappears easily, leaving a lingering aftertaste. It is not only light, but also deep in flavor. The expression changes depending on the temperature range and the shade of the atte. It is a good food sake. ‼️

Original Sake by Sakemoto Shoten More gentle and rounded on the palate than the Omachi version we drank last time. Gentler and more rounded in the mouth. It is a good food sake that goes well with all kinds of food. It was a good food sake. ❗️

#Funabori# Hokkaido souvenir Tanukiya Sweet and sour, slightly tangy. It has a sharpness.

Japanese>English

I bought a lot of things at Tokyu Hands Hokkaido Fair. I was so excited that I bought a lot of things such as Ika-meshi (squid rice), Ichigen's shrimp shio ramen, Hori's walnut rice cake, and Hanabatake's karintou. Unfortunately, there were only about three kinds of sake, so we chose this one. The impression I got from drinking it was that it was refreshing. It has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, which makes it easy to drink. It's dry but not harsh, so even those who prefer sweetness can enjoy it. On the other hand, it can be said that it has a moderate personality, so if you match it with this dish, it will be perfect! I don't think there is anything like that. At any rate, I've conquered the northern land (´ω).

Japanese>English

The taste of old-fashioned sake that you can feel slowly! When I drank it close to room temperature, I thought it was clean and dry in the mouth. The aftertaste has a richness like junmai sake. In addition, you can feel the alcohol and a little acidity. It seems to go especially well with dishes with soup stock! When I opened the bottle, I was drinking it in the wrong temperature range, but two days later, when I chilled it thoroughly, it was less dry and more clear! 2 days later, when I drank it well chilled, it seemed clearer!
