At a local izakaya just a stone's throw from the brewery 🍶. It was a very good, mellow sake with a very reasonable price. This time at room temperature.

In the neighborhood At a good barbecue restaurant The only sake they had A local world hawk. It was a very good price! I could drink it to the last!

The scent is light and fluffy. Is it sweet? But the aftertaste is more tangy than expected. Just one glass. I'm getting drunk. Today we had it with sukiyaki.

At home. The first Ehime. Ishizuchi is the number one sake in Ehime. The aroma is a little fruity in the sake, and the mouthfeel is smooth and light. You can also feel the sweetness and flavor of the rice. These are just a few of the sakes that I've had in the last few days, sakes that I would never have encountered otherwise, but that I was able to find by filling in the map of Japan with this sakenowa. None of them are the same, and I feel that they have a profound taste. Once again, I'm reminded of how amazing sake is.

Japanese>English

(o^-^o)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I opened my first Ehime sake, Ishizuchi 😀. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be great. I'm sure you'll agree that it's the best of both worlds. The rest of Shikoku is Tokushima prefecture.

Japanese>English

It has the same impression as when I drank it before. The aroma of sweet and sour rice......just like the package of the "Purgatory" color, it has a strong presence. The aftertaste is crisp and clean. It's more of a food wine than a drink...I'm enjoying it with Christmas hors d'oeuvres...thanks Purgatory!

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!

Japanese>English

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! (^^)/

Sasasande - I'm still in the sasandei. A trophy of the Niigata expedition. Surprisingly, it tastes like a summer sake with a strong acidity. It is said to be made from 100% Kame-no-o with a 65% rice polishing ratio. I wonder if anyone can guess the type of rice by the masking. Someday I would like to say, "Oh, this is Omachi"...

Japanese>English

Purchased at Ponshukan. It has a cute design that does not look like a cup of sake. The sake is brewed with four varieties of rice produced by four farmers in the Nishigama district, located in the far west of Niigata Prefecture. So that's what the grains of rice on the label mean. That makes sense. The sake was served cold in the cold sake corner at the store, so I chilled it well at home. It has a well-balanced taste, not too sweet or dry. It is easy to drink and delicious. Niigata's cup sake has a huge variety and high quality.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Gohyakumangoku The acidity is effective, and the umami flavor is penetrating. It has been a long time since this sake had the impact of a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast.

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!

It's a little bit more expensive, but It's a very elegant, sweet drink! It's kind of like the sweetness of a muscat! It's 500ml, so it'll be drunk in no time!

Japanese>English

It's foamy! I'm sure it's just cider or something. Mild sweetness, or is it the sweetness of the cage? Clear aftertaste! It's delicious 😋.

The last sake I purchased on my GW Niigata trip. I opened Hishiko. As stated on the label, it had a mellow sweet sake quality that brought out the aroma of the yeast, the umami of the rice, and a beautiful sweetness. It has a clean aftertaste, making it an excellent choice as a mealtime sake. I would like to try it again on my wonderful trip to Niigata.

Japanese>English

( ´´call me´´)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got my first bottle of Hishiko 😋. The lady at the liquor store I always go to recommended it to me 😚. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma 😊The aroma is round, clean, sweet and delicious 🤤The taste is light with a clean and crisp aftertaste that you will never get tired of 😘. This is the first time I've had this sake and it's delicious ✨🥳🥳.

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

Sekizen ‼️, a brand I've been wanting to try. I was curious about the standard label, but The unusual lager shirt label 🏉. The aroma is banana🍌-like for this sake too ❗️ I like the aroma 😊 It's sweet, but a little stronger on the alcohol side. I think it tastes crisp 🤔. It's good as a food sake👍 I'd like to try other Sekizen as well 👍‼️
