Next, here is a bottle from ‼️ that was Miyajima's recommendation for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai. ‼️ To be honest, I can't really tell the difference 😅 although the richness of the orikagarami is better. I just keep reaching for the ogara-mi 😆. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it better for eating 😋. Either way it's delicious, so this comparison is a lot of fun ‼️4

(*sigh*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Ding's sake 😀. It was a well balanced and delicious sake. The aroma is quietly gorgeous, refreshing rice flavor and sweetness, and a nice crispness. Nice 👍️

❀(*´▽`*)❀🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I got a limited edition Junmai Daiginjo from Ting today 😀. I was drawn to the limited edition label because it seems that from this year they have changed from Daiginjo to Junmai Daiginjo 😁. The aroma is gorgeous 🥰The mouthfeel is smooth 😊The sweetness is moderate but the flavor is beautiful and firm 😘The acidity is sharp to finish 😍This was a very delicious sake.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Japanese>English

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

Birthday gift sake No. 3 Speaking of comets, Ricaman is a liquor that I don't get a chance to drink very often because I don't go to Ricaman. It has a mild top-fragrance aroma. It is gorgeous and refreshingly sweet on the palate. It is a versatile type of sake that can be enjoyed with food or on its own. For better or worse, it is an excellent Daiginjo. I think it tastes more open and sweeter on the second day than when it is freshly opened. The design of the sake lid looks just like the one from a while ago😅.

Japanese>English

Today I chose sushi, sashimi and comet in the aftermath of yesterday's birthday, and since my son and wife went to bed, I had a luxurious dinner by myself😘. The comet I bought for comparison last time was so good that I bought two bottles for comparison this time too 🤣👍. Tomorrow I'm going to go to Gifu and buy Yamamoto Do, which I've longed for. ‼️ I've been looking for it for about three years now, but when I find a store that carries it, it's always sold out, so I'll make sure to get it this year 🥺. So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with almost no bitterness or acidity.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild, but the taste is clean, sweet, and sharp. It went down smoothly and easily.

Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

Japanese>English

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.

I've always been curious about it because I often see it at Takashimaya, but this is my first time to drink it. The rice is Asahi rice and Yamadanishiki. It is fresh and has a strong sweet flavor, but the aroma and taste are a bit unique. I also feel a bit of hardness. I'll give it some more time and see how it goes. Apple and honey-like sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It is heated to a high temperature. It's what I call a good heated sake. It's just plain good.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.

先月池亀を飲んで黒兜も飲んでみたいなー🙄なんて投稿をしていたのですが、次の日の青山三河屋のインスタに黒兜入荷の告知が😂 早速買ってまいりました。この時期限定の生酒で最近流行りの白麹でも紅麹でもなく黒麹を使っているそうです。上立ち香はほんのりイチゴのシロップ🍓のような甘い香り。口に含むと綺麗な酸味に透明感のある甘味と旨味。仄かな甘味を感じながらスッとキレていく感じ。池亀のお酒は2本目ですが、ここのお酒は透明感をすごく感じますね。美味しかったです🍶✨🐢

Well, I don't feel comfortable with the koji taste or the rice grains that are left as they are. It feels a little too limp.

Buy at the warehouse 1790 yen / 720ml It was "Hana Ippu" which I thought was "Hana Kaze" until I took a picture of it. The brewer was kind enough to explain it to me in detail. He moved to Hirosaki City, and this one is from the Iwakisan water system? The taste is clean and refreshing. It has a melon sweetness near the skin. Is that why it has a green label? The sweetness and sourness are well conveyed.
