My favorite Chiba sake "Iwanoi" is brewed with ultra-hard water (hardness 240). It has the delicious flavor of Omachi and the moderate bitterness and sharpness of hard water! The taste is deep and the acidity is dignified! It can be drunk as it is, or as a food sake...no...food sake🍶 is better 🙆I'm sipping it with boiled gammo and sashimi...🙆I'm sipping it with a side dish.

A trip to Boshu, a place of binge drinking and binge eating... Sake from Chiba is not to be underestimated! Sweet and fruity aroma, sweet taste, but the rice flavor...enjoy! I'll go to Iwase Brewery tomorrow and get some!

You can buy it directly from the sake brewery. It is a quaint sake brewery. It is brewed with "So no Mai" sake rice from Chiba Prefecture. The aroma is a hint of rice, and the taste is very fresh. It was brewed with very hard water, so the aftertaste is sharp! I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

Today is the second of four I received for Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day. I've had it in the past, but I'd like to share my thoughts on it again. It is a gift of 📌300ml ¥. I'll get back to you as soon as I can 😊. The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 It's good in a wine glass but I dare to drink it in a boar cup 😊I can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice 💕. Next, if you drink it in a wine glass, the aroma will spread and the sweetness will be even more pronounced 👍I would definitely recommend a wine glass💕. I had it cold this time, but it would be interesting to drink it at various temperatures 😋It may be a little disappointing that it is only 300ml this time 😋. Thanks to my grandson, I will enjoy it again today ✌️

I bought it at Kyorindo. I bought it immediately because of the good price and the good label. The aroma is fruity and the color is a little yellowish. By the way, the price is 940 yen without tax.

Lid is stiff. Thin lactic acidity, slightly sweet fruit-like smell. Lemon and plum-like acidity emerges from the thin rice mouthfeel, finishing with rice-like flavor acidity and a hint of sweetness. Delicious. It is refreshing and easy to drink. The lower the temperature, the more refreshing it is.

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got a limited edition of Uozu Sake Brewery, which is now under the Sake Capital umbrella? I got a bottle of UO from Uozu Sake Brewery, which is now under the umbrella of Sake Capital 😀. It seems to be a sake developed to go well with fish from Toyama Bay ✨. The aroma is mild 😄and the palate is smooth, fresh, and light 🤔, and it finishes with a refreshing acidity 😚I couldn't really tell the difference between it and the Hohanami 🤣 but it was a delicious sake 🥳.

Corner shop at the mysterious cheese shop (2) Since the corner drinking at this restaurant is self-serve, we discovered an unopened bottle of Moridori when searching the refrigerator! I entrusted it to Mr. Nemuchi, a professional corker 😁. I drank a lot of dry sake at an off-line meeting the other day and I'm in the mode that I can drink some dry sake, right? I'm in a mode that some things are dry, so I drank it. It's definitely dry, but it's delicious with a nice sweetness and gasiness 😁.

I think it was a collaboration of several sake breweries in Hyogo Prefecture.

Purchased at a liquor store specializing in Hyogo sake with mofu. There were many people drinking sake in the store and the atmosphere was bizarre. When I asked the store staff if it was an event, he told me that they were people who had come from Ozeki's brewery open at a nearby store. The smell of squid filled the air, and the waiter said he was sorry for the smell 🤣. This sake is brewed with salvia yeast collected by students at an agricultural high school. It is slightly effervescent and has a unique flavor. Sweet but cosmetic like no other aroma. A little nutty in the second half. I thought it was a little peculiar. After 3 days, a little bit of rum raisin taste. Definitely tastier than freshly opened 😋.

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time. I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The label is very cool. The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations. The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔. I opened it for 2 days and drank it.... It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳. This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up. It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

This is one of the bottles that was sold in a set with Tobiroki at Hasegawa sake shop, it was made in October 2020, so I guess they used Tobiroki to clear this stock 😅. I'm not a big fan of the Satsuma Masamune, but I'm not a big fan of the Tobiroki either. I was a bit worried because it's a raw stored sake, almost a year after production, but there were no quality issues 😄. Rather, I didn't feel the peculiarity that I felt when I drank Junmai Ginjo before, and it tastes better than that time 🌟. It has a slight sweetness, a strong alcohol feeling and a spiciness that comes down the throat, not very distinctive but enough for everyday drinking. Cold sake is the best 😚

Mini tastings, still to come💦. It's a drinking comparison of the Kamikai... 💦. Junmai Ginbuki Hiyoshi Oroshi Akatombo Shiga Prefecture, Ginfukiyuki 60% polished rice, 15 degrees. The aroma is fruity and the taste is classic. The taste is somewhere between modern and classic. Junmai Ginjo il tuono d'autunno (autumn thunder) Shiga Prefecture, Ginbuki 55% polished rice, 16%. Fruity and sweet, this is a perfect modern type. Fully matured Junmai Ikinatsu Koshi Sanma A blend of 80% 2016 Yamahai Yamadanishiki and 20% 2019 Koshihikari 70% polished rice 17%. I was too scared to drink this one as is🤣. It was sweet and delicious when heated! It had a classic flavor.

September 12, 2021 Dinner at home. I got this yazu from my friend yesterday. Today, I'm going to taste it as nigiri. The sake is Kawakame, a local sake from Hachimanohama. Kawakame. It is light and dry, and goes well with fish. 300ml is not enough for me, but But since I drank it two days in a row I'll leave it at that...(´ω・;)

The last bottle caught my eye and my attention, so I bought it! It's a blend of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo blame. Exciting just to hear about it😊. And it's reasonable! On the day of opening the bottle, it had a neutral impression. Rather than the Tainai-san type that washes down as a food sake. I thought it was the type to stay close to you. From the second day onwards, the flavors come together and the sharpness from the sweetness is noticeable. It was delicious even when drunk on its own.

2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.
