All Gunma Maifu Drinking Set. This time it's Tonenishiki from Nagai Honke in Numata. I've been a customer here for a long time. The color is pale yellow. The original aroma of the rice stands out. It has a rich taste with a sense of maturity. It has the richness that is typical of pure rice, and has a relatively classic taste.

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.

This 🍶 is from the Nanasho Sake Brewery in Kiso-cho, Nagano Prefecture. It has a melon-like fruity taste with a clean aftertaste. I would like to match it with sashimi, etc.

It is Nanashou Limited Edition Sake Junmai Ginjo Yamaenishiki. I was attracted by the smiling face label and bought it. "It is said that it is one of the bottles with the wish of "Smile in such a time! It is said that it is one of the bottles that the wish is put in. Is it a summer sake? It is a well-balanced sake with a fruity aroma. It also has a nice crisp aftertaste.

The engine is running and the next bottle! Today I went to Nagano Prefecture to buy some sake! A bottle I bought at the station to drink on the bullet train on the way home. A cup? Cup? I didn't buy a cup, so I couldn't drink it on the train, so I opened a bottle to take home! 🎉 It is round in the mouth! It is round in the mouth! Gentle flavor. Dry?

At home. Nagano sake bought in bulk - ‼️ Purchased Nagano sake at Kyoto Takimoto today: ‼️ I tasted one of them, Kiyama, for the first time. The aroma is gorgeous and there is sweetness in the supernatant. If you mix it well, you can feel the sweetness and sourness before the sourness, and it stimulates your tongue. ‼️ I would like to check the taste change after the second day, but yes, it is a delicious sake. ‼️

Japanese>English

First time at a brewery series-! Supperly! Dry? High proof for two days in a row. Is this the first time the keyword "cemedine"? It's like that! It doesn't say niggly, but at the end it's cloudy! What a surprise! Surprise!

Shinshu Kunisake 👀 found at my favorite restaurant. It was my first time to try it and I had no prior knowledge of it, but I was attracted by the recommendation of the store owner and the delicious-looking label, so I took it home with me. When I opened the bottle, a refreshing ginjo aroma rose up 😙. It's been a long time since I've had a sake with a corkage involved. The unique sourness, sweetness, and citrus-like bitterness combine perfectly as you take a sip, and the shwashiness tightens up the flavor 😋. This is delicious❣️My wife also raved about it👏. I didn't know this kind of sake existed 😳 I've never seen such a good sake 😳 Shinshu Kokusai Sake has a wide range of delicious sake.

When I go to this liquor store, I can't stop looking at different things. There are both hi-seasoned and draft Morishima's Omachi and Yamadanishiki, and there are several Nozomis... In the end, I narrowed it down to one bottle and chose this one. This is the first time I drink Koshinohomare at home. As for the rice, some stores say they use Takananishiki and others say Koshikagura, but which is it? Fresh, gassy and fruity. Juicy, like apple or pineapple. I was surprised at how delicious it was.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and flavorful. There is a sweetness followed by the tartness of grapefruit. There is also a hint of banana. The acidity gives this a short and clean finish. Brilliant! 😁

Junmai-Ginjo sake with 50% polishing ratio This sake is brewed by blending Kyokai 1801 and the original ginjo yeast, Kyokai 901. It has a fruity, gorgeous aroma and a pleasant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Delicious! The label is said to have been designed with a snowflake "Grandpa Sujimaki" of the famous mountain, Yoneyama, which announces the rice planting season in Kashiwazaki, on a label with a texture of textiles associated with the hemp and silk textiles that are famous in Echigo. Stylish!

The third group of the Sake Rice and Yeast Association is Gintome and Yuko's Idea from Iwate Prefecture. Iwate is often named after the pure-heartedness of the Tohoku region or after Kenji Miyazawa, and the rice is Gintome, which is a Gin user. Yuko, the yeast, seems to be named after the developer, Ms. Yuko Yamashita of the Iwate Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. It is a clear, dry sake. Sake from Iwate is interesting in many ways. To be continued.

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.

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.

Japanese>English

The 36th sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture. This is one of the main brands of Watanabe Sake Brewery in Ogaki City. It is brewed by the only female toji in Gifu Prefecture.

The palate has a nutty flavor and sweetness with a touch of astringency. It is smooth and easy to drink.

The rightmost one is today's sake, Kisoji hiyaoroshi. The aroma is very strong and the taste is stable. You can tell how delicious the rice is. Delicious. Now, I'm going home to buy Gokotsuru. My back hurts from carrying so much stuff with bad posture💦.
