This is the annual Morohaku from Shiina Sake Brewery. The first bottle was actually opened last week on a trip with a customer 🤣I was too tongue-tied to review it🤣it was delicious ‼️ It was delicious and had a nice active effervescence...but today's second bottle is a little less effervescent and a little more sweet! The second bottle today was a bit more fizzy, but the sweetness of the malt was nice 🙌It's a sake that doesn't disappoint every year 👍Great 😆.

Tomikushin's Active Nigori to be drunk again this year I drink a lot of nigori sake this time of year, but for some reason, local nigori sake makes me unusually excited. Mixing and drinking while removing the air. When pouring it into a glass, the occasional solid particles fall out, which makes me even more excited! Fresh, creamy, yogurt, sloppy And yet it's easy to drink with a refreshing aftertaste. I think it's less sweet and more refreshing this year. All I have tonight is persimmon peas and sea chicken, but that's good enough for me. The only drawback is that we only have one bottle, but we'll enjoy it in smaller portions.

We had another bottle of DATESEVEN that we had missed drinking with the returning bonito. I dressed it with a large amount of myoga sent from the countryside. Everyone else had mentioned that it tasted good well chilled, and I thought they were right. It was delicious.

The third bottle is Miyagi's sake rice, Gin no Iroha, Zao no Kokoro series. The first impression on the palate is of muscat! It is elegant and crisp, as is typical of Miyagi sake. Easy to drink. Delicious!

A summer sake from Zao brewed with Miyagi sake rice, Gin-no-Iroha. Slight ginjo aroma. This is my first time at the brewery, and it finishes with a slight bitterness. It is crisp. The expression of Gin-no-Iroha varies from brewery to brewery.

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!

The aroma is thin and the flavor is low. It has a sake-like character, but it seems to be in the same position as Onikoroshi. There may be a demand for it, but I did not like it.

I had my first bottle of Shinshin in spring and it was delicious! I was able to get a bottle of Shinshin's summer sake, and I immediately opened it 😋. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste like summer sake🤣. It's as refreshing as the label says and perfect for a hot day like today 👍 thanks for the drink❗️

It's been a while since I've had Okayama sake. This is the first time I've had Shinshin, but it's refreshing, easy to drink, and makes an excellent food sake. It's delicious😌. I'd like to try other kinds of Shinshin or Winter Moon.

I returned home for the holidays to participate in cleaning out the oversized trash at my parents' house. After sweating a bit, I found Izumikawa in the fridge and immediately opened a bottle of this unexpected trophy 🎉. It has a slightly soft sweetness, a gradual flavor, and a bitterness that comes in the latter half of the bottle. It is smooth and easy to drink! It is the big brother of Tobiroki, and I enjoyed Izumikawa for the first time in a long time 😘.

Izumikawa's Funakuchi. It is a slightly orizumi (orizumi is a slightly cloudy, raw sake), so the first thing to drink is the top clear liquid. The aroma is still young and melon-like, with a soft sweetness and a tangy, spicy bitterness. The balance of sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness gradually improves. When mixed with ori, it becomes slightly cloudy. The spiciness subsides and the sweetness increases, creating a mellow mouthfeel that keeps you coming back for more. It is a very fresh and delicious sake that can only be drunk at this time of the year.

Tonight, we will be drinking new sake, but this is the first one to greet you 💁. Izumikawa Jungin Nanaguchi Hon Nama Nama ✨✨✨✨ Izumikawa is a sake that is distributed within the prefecture by the famous sake brewery HIROKI, but this Jungin Funakuchi Honnen is exceptionally popular and our expectations are skyrocketing. ⤴️ The bottle was opened very quietly, with a little lees at the bottom of the bottle. The aroma is similar to that of Tobiroki, but it is not flashy, with fresh melon and pear fruits. The taste is a little viscous and smooth on the tongue, with moderate acidity and the sweetness of the rice spreading through a dry aftertaste. When the starch is mixed in, the softness and flavor increase, and although it has a moderate alcohol content, it is a very popular wine.

This is the Ageha no Mai Junmai Sake Gin no Sato. It is a sweet and delicious sake with a mild fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.
Japanese

English
The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet. The taste is soft sweetness with a hint of umami on top. It is a beautiful tasting food sake. Everyone drank it with smiling faces. It was delicious! (^O^)

Smells of powdered milk, flowers. Slightly effervescent. The junmai I drank before was so good that it was a repeat purchase, and it lived up to my expectations. It is well-balanced and when you notice it, you can drink it all at once with a slurp. It has a floral, not too sweet, pungent, well-balanced flavor, and a satisfying umami and a sourness that is very satisfying. The 4th day. It has lost some of its flavor and can be drunk without hesitation.

At home. The first Yamanashi, the first day. It is the one for the summer. I had it cooled well, but it is refreshing and lightly dry. It is the summer sake which feels easy to drink. If you have it chilled or on the rocks, you will be able to open it immediately.

First Yamanashi sake ❣️ after my debut at Sake no Wa! I got the summer sake from Tang 😋. The label was refreshing and quite soppy😍. The taste is also refreshing 🏝. It tastes like melon🍈? Fruity, smooth, full and light, perfect for this time of the year 😆. This one will be available in no time at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted it, and it's as good as it should be.
