Acidity Lychee Penetrating Grapefruit

Kuroda Bushi 3

I saw it on a liquor store's installment and was completely unfamiliar with the brand, so I searched for it on Sake no Wa and found that Greissinger19 was drinking it, so I bought it. Strong gasiness. Dry, clean and sweet. Cider-like with peach and lychee flavors. Lightly sweet as written. The acidity is beautiful and the bitterness at the end is pleasant. A better sake than expected.

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo Osato Sake Brewery is located in Kama City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I didn't know about this place until I came to Fukuzo. I checked and there is a Kanbokuto Brewery nearby ✨. The first aroma is faintly sweet. In the mouth, there is a refreshing acidity and juicy sweetness typical of white malted rice. It is followed by a slight astringency that finishes it off. The refreshing acidity is quite delicious.

Japanese>English

Even more sparkling ‼️ of my favorite Kuroda Bushy was delicious!

The third drink outside is Honkin😆. Dry Taichi Clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. It was perfect as a sake for a meal with a nice sharp taste.

Japanese>English

Honkin Normal Sake Yellow Label 1,800ml Alcohol added sake, koji rice 60%, kake rice 70%. This was purchased when we tasted it at the brewery last November. After six months had passed, the umami flavor seemed to have taken over. I think it was more smooth when it was first shipped. It was stored in a hallway with a refrigerator pan, so we will enjoy it before it gets too hot. I think I like it better when it returns to room temperature than when it is cold.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is characterized by its clear acidity. From the moment you put it in your mouth to the last lingering taste, it has a beautiful sourness and freshness, and the sweetness does not interfere with the taste, which is very delicious. You can't go wrong with any of Nagano's sakes, so you can't help but want to buy it.

We opened a bottle at the office. This is the first time we have had "Shirasagi no Shiro", another name for Himeji Castle. At first I drank it at room temperature, and from the second glass I drank it on the rocks, and I could feel the gentle sweetness of the sake. The taste reminded me of Tengu Mai's Yamahai brewing. I'd like to try it warmed.

Japanese>English

The location changed and we went to Hyogo Sake EXPO 2022, a local sake event in Hyogo, at Kobe Hankyu. I tasted a regular product, a draft version. I had tasted the hi-ire version before, so I wondered what the draft version was like. It was easier to drink than the hi-ire version, but not to my taste. I prefer the Shirasagi no Shiro (castle of the egret), which is made with Nojoho.

Japanese>English

The only place I can think of that uses Nojoho is Okutanba. The overall impression is gentle and the taste comes slowly. It looks like wood, grass, or herb. It also has a classy atmosphere. The sake here is not my favorite, but when I find it, I buy it for some reason.

Aizu Shikon 3

Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City. Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on. This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake! This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.

Japanese>English

A challenge themed drink, apparently😊. I don't know about the details but it's neat😄. I don't know the details, but it's refreshing 😋

Japanese>English

Good smell Taste is thick, with a strong aftertaste. I would rate it as refreshing. Personally, I think it should be drunk first. It is too strong in the second half.

The aroma was fruity and the taste was apple and grape-like, but I remember it was like a white wine without any astringency or bitterness.

Japanese>English

Fresh apple-like aroma. In the mouth, chili green apple, fresh sweet and sour of muscat. If you don't have low alcohol like this, you may be a little concerned about the alcohol taste, but it is delicious.

Sake at the Autumn Sake Festival ④. Light taste. Easy to drink sake, I guess. The aroma is subdued but has a nice sake aroma. ...I was in a good mood after drinking a lot of sake. So I forgot to take a picture... I tasted a few more after this, but I'm not sure anymore... I guess that's all for the record.

Faint ginjo aroma✨ A sip will leave you with just the right amount of spiciness and sharpness 🥰. This is a food sake, but it has a delicious flavor that doesn't interfere with the ingredients 😌. I rarely drink outside, but this one was delicious 🥰. The disadvantage of drinking it in a restaurant is that you can't taste the flavor immediately after opening the bottle... and you can't tell how it changes the next day or later 😭. The sake I got this time was a bottle and there were only a few bottles left, so there is a high possibility that the taste has changed since the bottle was opened 💧... 💧. And, well, it's impossible for me to drink it in a restaurant... but I have an inquisitive mind as a sake lover 🤭 lol

Light and fruity type Rice: Ishikawa Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio: 55% Alcohol content: 15 Sake meter: 0 Acidity: 1.8 Sake with the delicious taste of rice. It has a fruity taste like green apple🍏 with a hint of acidity. It is a sake that can be chilled and drunk crisply in summer 😊.

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6) Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery. Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat. I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find. The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake. I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.

Japanese>English

This month we had a lot of drinking outside, so it's been a while since I've had a drink at home! I got a bottle of summer sake "Kashoku", which is rarely seen even in my hometown, because there was some left at the liquor store! The mouthfeel is sweet with a refreshing acidity, and the mellow aroma lingers until the end. It seems that more emphasis is placed on the mellow aroma than on the refreshing taste! Although it is a summer sake, it is a perfect bottle for long nights in autumn. I felt it has the potential to be as good as many dishes in the autumn season of taste.

［The 2nd Bishu Competition Grand Tasting (11) This is the only booth not on the "Jizake Tourism" side, but on the "Bishu Competition" side. HAKKIN - "HAKKIN ANOTHER". A fruity aroma with a sour taste, a firm umami taste with a modern sweetness, a sharp finish, and a dry, refreshing aftertaste. HAKKINO was awarded a gold medal for HAKKINO METHOD LURAL in the sparkling category of the current competition ✨.

☀️ A warehouse came to a department store event to sell 😄. 👴🏻 "The rice is Koshihikari ❗️ 👴🏻 "It is a rare sake made from rice❗️ 👴🏻 "It is pesticide-free❗️" Appealing to the public in a row 😅 By releasing ducks🦆 into the rice paddies, they can suppress weeds and eat insects, making it pesticide-free 🤔. It's sake 🍶. The rice used is Koshihikari 🌾. It's called nigori and it's already cloudy ⚪️ The aroma of rice 🌾 and the smell reminds me of alcohol. Although you can't feel the rice grains, there is a sense of roughness. The texture is clear and powerful, but you can also sense the rice feeling🌾. Elegant cloudy sake 🍶. By the way, what is "LOHAS"? LOHAS is an acronym for "Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability," a lifestyle that strives for health, the environment, and a sustainable social life. It is a way of life that is mindful of health, the environment, and a sustainable social life. That's why they were so particular about being pesticide-free 😊.

A pleasant gringo was selling it in the store, and when I tasted it, it was so-so delicious that I bought it. When I drank it at home, it was something different (laugh).

Kansai Sake-new year party ㉔ After a short cab ride, we went to Chuin-san, familiar to us from Aladdin-san's post. Inokashira, a sake I had never heard of until now😅. The rice used is Hitogokochi. I think it was fresh, fruity and gently sweet 🤔.

Japanese>English

Classic firm aroma. The strong sweetness is not fruity, but the taste of the rice itself. The flavor is also strong. A direction of Hitogokochi that I did not know.

Japanese>English

Is the rice used Miyamanishiki? The acidity is pleasant! It is sweet and sour, but also has a bitter taste. It also has an apple-like flavor. It was an interesting sake.

I had always wanted to come to this restaurant, Jyu. It was a nice place. The sake I chose was Dokure, which is labeled as an amazing sake from Kure. At first sip, I felt a slight sourness, but when paired with food, it was very good. As one would expect from a master brewer, he made the sake he wanted to make himself. It is a sake that goes very well with food.
