This is also a 3-day record. Chiebijin was not enough, so I threw in a small bottle. This is the pink label of Yatsuka, which I have come to like! It feels more rounded than Chiebijin. Delicious!

The brewery is more impressive for its shochu Ginza no Suzume than for its sake. Tasted and purchased. It has a gorgeous aroma and is fruity even when drunk. 1801 yeast is used, making it a sweet and fruity sake that is easy to understand. I wish they would release a fresh sake of this one. I felt it was sweeter and fruity at room temperature than when it was chilled to the perfect temperature.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

The moment I drank it, I couldn't help but chuckle. It is sweet and tangy like light brown sugar or honey. It is sweet like sugar and has a sweetness like honey, and from there you can taste the sourness like green plums. It is sweet, refreshing, and delicious 🤤. Purchased by weight. Sake that pops like a pop label. Is this kind of sake good for aperitifs 🤔.

Japanese>English

I bought a bottle of Hana-no-i special junmai sake, labeled "Thieving Cat," at Nishioka Honten in Makabe, which I stopped by on my way to the Tsukuba Rin-Rin Road on a rainy day the other day. I have had this sake before, but there is something different about sake bought at a sake brewery.

Japanese>English

Homecoming Series 10 I went to Nishioka Honten in Makabe, Ibaraki Prefecture, and purchased a BY6 unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a true Ibaraki sake made from Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. It has an unadorned flavor, as is typical of Supin's sake. It is dry, with a short, refreshing aftertaste! The alcohol content is 17 degrees, which is proof that it is well fermented. The aroma is not assertive, and as a food sake it is first class!

Souvenirs from Shinshin SY Among several souvenirs, I chose this one intuitively by looking at the label. He brought three four-packs of sake as a souvenir, which is a generous gesture for a business traveler who travels all over the country. I would never have been able to do such a thing with my own pocketbook. When I pour it into the cup, it is more yellow than I expected! Is this a matured type? The aroma is slightly fruity, but has a bitter, mature aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a light sweetness and bitterness, and a moderate umami, but the maturing aroma in the aftertaste is unique. The light sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste are quite a tricky thing to pull off. This strange taste is not one of my favorites, but it is something that makes me want to drink it again. It reminds me of that strange feeling I had in junior high school when I used to prank cigarettes behind my back. It's a treat!

Junmai ✨Akiagari ✨Primal rice wine from the mountains ✨Akiagari 🍁. A bit poofy, but not harsh. Sour, sweet and spicy. Darker taste. It's the kind of sake that goes well with food. A bit alcoholic. I had it with tuna fish and pak choi yakisoba 😋. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20211009

I wanted to drink hot sake with Mr. Hiraccio. Yum. My stomach was cold, so I feel relieved. We ended up having a lot of hot sake and went to the after-party. The lemon sour was very aggressive.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`;) It is five years old, and when heated up, it has a slightly sweet graininess. Sourness is also light. When it cools down, the juiciness becomes more apparent. It is considered to be an old sake that is easy to drink.

A special order from Meishukan Takimoto. When I opened it, I heard a powerful popping sound. It is a lightly fizzy, fruity and sweet sake. The sourness comes in at the end. Kawatsuru is always delicious no matter what you drink.

We ordered at Benkei no weibasho, an izakaya near Niigata Station. This restaurant is operated by a local conveyor-belt sushi chain, and we were informed that their seafood dishes are sure to be good, so we made a reservation and visited. I was curious about this sake at Ponshukan, where I had wandered around during lunch. Niigata is known for its dry sake, but this one is quite fruity. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with sashimi. I mean, too much throat groyne!

Japanese>English

58 days after opening the bottle. When I drink it, it seems to warm up. It is delicious as a heated sake. It is a sake brewery in Sado Island.

Japanese>English

Sake tasting at Niigata Station. The last one here is Maryo. Slightly fruity aroma. It had a good balance of spiciness and acidity. Above all, sake tasting was fun from noon 😊.

(**Oh, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!) 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo (No.18) We had the all-you-can-drink course and had the Shiga Daijiro 😀 I don't remember much, but I think it was like an old-fashioned sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

It has a very rich, ripe, sweet, thick, full-bodied taste (¡Ω). And yet it is not cloying. It's the kind of warmed sake I like to drink when it's cold. I'd like to make this a staple in my house because it hits my favorite part of heating sake.

Japanese>English

The sake from the west, I thought it would be strong and angular, but it had a mellowness similar to the sake from the east, especially on the second day, and the sweetness was great. It was a small sake brewery according to Google, but it was very good with careful sake.
