Last year I wanted to drink it but couldn't, so this year I really wanted to buy this sake. I'm glad I bought it! Too much Moromi! That's what a certain liquor dealer said, but I thought so too. The aroma is faintly apple...? First, let's take a taste of the supernatant... Sweetness like apples and pears! The overtones also smell like apples! There is a sourness! It's like a sweet and sour apple with a refined taste of koji. For a sake of this time of year, there are no unusual spikes in the flavor. If you think the taste is similar to something, it is similar to La+Yachiyo ROOM by Yachiyo Shuzo. I'm convinced that it has a sweetness like a pear as well as an apple. If you mix it with nigori, it becomes more dry even though it is energetic. It should be easy to drink even for those who are not that good at sweet taste.

Last week I visited Dewano-Fuji at Hankyu Department Store, but I went to Umemoto Sake-ten in Nishinakajima because I thought I could find more variety at a special distributor. (Note that they have moved from the location shown on the map of Sake-no-wa, and they have a corner bar inside after 4:00 p.m.) I was a bit lost, so I asked the waitress and she let me try a sample. Melon-like fruity sweet taste. Slightly refreshing? It was delicious, but Junmai Arabashiri seemed rarer, so I bought that one 😊.

Japanese>English

The beautiful kaleidoscope-like label is impressive. The taste is sweet with a hint of bitterness at the end. It is refreshing and crisp, but the screw was unusually hard to open, so I think it should be improved. The Junmai Unfiltered Nama-jyu I drank at the end of the year was cheaper and much tastier. I don't know if it's because they use Miyamanishiki, but it tastes a little like the Jokigen I had the other day. A bit 🍇ish.

The 22nd Hankyu Brewery Festival 21 Dewa no Fuji" booth. The usual president was there. For some reason, Mr. Bouken wanted to go, so we tasted some. The president's voice is always so quiet, so I listened carefully 😁. I had never seen labels like this before. ◉#1 (hash one) The taste is sweet to tight acidity, with a primal complexity that I always feel when I hear it's yeast #1. ◉ Junmai Ginjo Riquisimo "Riquisimo". This one is also a bit complex, with a messy, cluttered taste, but with a delicious sweetness and spiciness coexisting. ◉Junmai sake Namaishu "Airoiro This sake has a rich, nutty, umami flavor with a bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste is a bit tangy. This is a summer sake... Junmai Daiginjo Hanakura The name "Hanakura" is pronounced "kezo" in Japanese. The taste is rich and sweet, with a sticky umami flavor. It is my favorite type of sake because of its rich flavor. I checked the internet and it looks like it is aged. I concentrated on listening to what they had to say this time too 🤣.

A 1-goupe bottle that I had gotten at Yamada-san, a sake dealer in Ikebukuro Seibu. I check the small refrigerator near the cash register, which is mainly small bottles, every time I go there. It is Kamerei Mannen from Hiroshima🐢. The classical texture gives it a ginjo-shu feel.

I was attracted by the logo that looks like a magic circle, so I bought it. It was simply delicious! It has a clean and robust taste. I think it goes well with everything!

mathematical operation Gentle rice sweetness. Slight tongue numbness. Melon aroma. Refreshing flavor. For some reason, I felt the commonality of honey in the depths. Despite the old-fashioned label, the impression is clean and modern without any cloying taste. Surprisingly, it is quite tasty. Purchased at Sakai Meizo. Unzan used to be produced and sold under the same brand name at several breweries, including this one and Yoshinoya in the Zenkoji temple gate town. Currently, Sakai Meikozo is no longer making sake, but has a soba noodle shop, cafe, and souvenir shop in a renovated brewery building, and the old brewery is open for tours. The sake sales corner is modest.

Unzan Junmai Nama-zake 1600yen (The color is clear. It goes down smoothly on the palate. The delicious taste of rice and the juiciness of the sake will hit your tongue. The aftertaste is not harsh, but moderate. We recommend drinking it with appetizers, sashimi, and other dishes that are served with dashi broth. The target group is sake drinkers. It is good for those who want dry sake. Sake from Nagano

Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Japanese>English

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.

I got a bottle of Senkyu's "Kirifuri" on a business trip to Utsunomiya the other day...fruity aroma, strong acidity and bitterness? It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and a strong bitterness. I think it's a good sake for a meal...I had sardine nigiri and on the second day, I had yakitori as a side dish...I feel this sake is better when the bottle is opened. It has some peculiarities...but...it's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is a piece of bread I bought on my way back from a trip to Kirifuri Kogen. I thought it was the perfect name for a souvenir, but I was surprised to find it was made by Senkou 😳. I've been storing it at room temperature for a while now because it's been heat-treated. But I thought it would be better to drink it cold, so I put it in the fridge and drank it. The best thing about this product is that it has the gas and acidity that I like, even if it has been heated.

Japanese>English

It's always a repeat drink: ❗️ It's a four-pack, but I'd buy it by the square if it were available 😤 lol It's tart and delicious✨

Kamoizumi from Hiroshima ✨. The flavor is rich and lingering among the three varieties. and lingering taste 🎶.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Kamoizumi. There was no one else there, so I was able to take my time tasting. This sake is 100% Yamadanishiki. It had a familiar flavor and was delicious. I guess it was because most of the sake we tasted were from the Hiroshima Hachitan series.

[Fill in the Map Series No.6] Hiroshima Kamoizumi Shuzo [Kamoizumi Junmai Ginjo Shuizumi Honjikomi] ✨. Is the "." in "sake" in the center of the label a logo? Is it a brand name? I'm not sure how to read it lol. It's a Junmai Ginjo, but the aroma has a grainy feel to it. When poured, it's a bit of a yamabuki color, with a hint of old sake in the beginning, but as it progresses, it develops a nice richness and flavor✨.
