I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

- ̗̀(˶^Insertion'˶)b🍶🍶🍶🍶+ On the second day of our GW trip, we went to Himeji Castle Mountains. Himeji Castle, a national treasure, was well worth seeing 😃. For souvenirs, we went to Yaegaki's store at Himeji Station 😄I bought a limited edition special junmai recommended to me ✨. The aroma is fresh and muscat-like 😚The taste is fresh and the acidity comes forward and is refreshing ✨It has a nice sharpness 😊I felt like it would be a delicious sake for the summer 🥳.

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 😁.

Japanese>English

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

Japanese>English

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 😋.

January 1, 2024 A party at my parents-in-law's house. The second bottle is my brother-in-law's choice, Shijikizuru. The second bottle was my brother-in-law's choice.

At a sushi restaurant owned by a friend of mine. We enjoyed nigiri-zushi, dried hokke (hokke) overnight, and other seasonal delicacies. There were many Niigata sake that the owner directly sources from Niigata, and we had a bottle of the highly recommended Shimehari-zuru. I had tasted the sake before, but the taste was so delicious that it changed my impression of the sake. The aroma was fruity, and when you put it in your mouth, it was sweet and tasty with a refreshing sharpness. The warmth of the proprietor and proprietress made for an enjoyable time.

Grandma Mom again. This one is also very good! and the closing crane This is also a well-made honjozo. It is crisp and dry, but also has a delicious flavor and sharpness, so you can drink it for a long time! Thank you very much!

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Souvenir purchase from a trip to Osaka (2) This one is also dry and mild on the palate. Light. It has acidity and is fruity. I wonder if Kansai people tend to drink a lot of mustard.

Japanese>English

It has a very smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing sweetness, and comes in like delicious water. The delicious taste of rice spreads in the mouth, and a refreshing aroma escapes from the nose. Just the right amount of dryness You can enjoy the change of taste in your mouth.

Next up was the Ittiki Senzan Comet Nama-no-Hara Sake. The only sake from Gifu that I know of is Ikki Senzan, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a brand that had just been opened. It was a brand that had just been opened, so I liked the way the flavor was firmly on the tongue. The sweetness was not too strong and flowed down the throat easily. This is the first hit I've had in a long time. I wanted to drink it slowly, but I had to keep up with the pace of my grandchildren. I was getting too hungry to let them play with their toys, so I quickly settled my bill. It was different from a drinking party among adults, but I was glad that we could enjoy eating and drinking together. (^^)/

Koshihikari. Lids fly off, baptism of foam... Sourness and spiciness are pertinent. The fizzy sensation makes the rest of the taste smooth.

Part 3 This brand is new to me 🤗. Yopa Memo_φ(___) It's like a combination of yogurt and solid sake 🍶. I don't think it has much acidity🙄. It has a clean and solid expression. You can drink it smoothly 😃. It was delicious 😋😋😋.

Next time I'll try it at room temperature🎵.

They use a yeast called "Kyo no Koto" which was jointly developed by Sasaki Shuzo and the Kyoto City Institute of Industrial Technology. If that's the case, why don't they write it on the label? It's quite floral, but banana-like. At the end, the sourness kills it. So far, I don't think I've had a bad bottle of Fuoh.

Japanese>English

I bought it at ●Maya because I thought it was rare to find Tomiou's Yamahai. It was sweet with lactic acidity. Then there is a bitterness with a graininess. A little peculiar? A little nutty. It has a complex taste with caramel and creaminess. After a few days, it tastes like yogurt or calpis. After a few more days, it's hard to describe, but it has a type of habit I don't like...

Japanese>English

Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (¡Ω) Very yellow. Delicious and mellow as expected! Although from the Fushimi brewery, this sake would definitely be better suited to those who prefer San-in sake! I've been afraid to go to Kyoto since the new cologne, but this makes me want to go to Fushimi to buy some! But I still don't have the guts to take the train only in the direction of Kyoto where there are many tourists! Still, this sake has enough charm to make me brave enough to make the decision to go to Fushimi, even if I am trembling!

Melon-like aroma. It has an elegant sweetness and fresh acidity. It is a perfect taste for summer. The sake rice is Matsuyama-Mitsui from Ehime prefecture (I've never had it before). The rice polishing ratio is 60%.

It is a bottle to be savored carefully on its own, but it is surely easy to pair with meals as well, It is sure to go well with meals. The alcohol content is high, between 17 and 18 degrees. Sake rice is Hyogo Yamadanishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 40%.

At home. I went to Osaka and bought a bottle of Kochi Sake, which I immediately enjoyed. It has almost no aroma, a little bit of alcohol, and a young melon aroma in the nose when you put it in your mouth. It was light and easy to drink. We both drank it up and sunk into the water. Oh no, I have to work tomorrow...

There are only two sake rice study groups left. I've been posting them chippy-chippy, so my notes and my memory are no longer connected. But there is no doubt that they were delicious. The ninth bottle was Kami no Ho from Mie Prefecture. The first bottle was a Saku no Kami no Hoho, which got me hooked on sake rice, but it tasted completely different. The aroma is banana, I guess. It has a slightly sweet taste with a refreshing dryness from the microbubbles. It goes on and on... a never-ending type of sake. The next post should be the last in this study of sake rice.

Special Junmai Nigori Nama-zake🍶Kami-no-ho🌾 from Mie Prefecture. Seme smell, fresh✨, a little schwag. Sour and spicy. Mustardy 🙄 according to my wife. When paired with the koji-marinated squid (🦑), it takes the edge off and cozies up to you. The power of koji is amazing 😆. Looks like a new brand to be born in spring 2023. Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230503

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It has sourness and a little bit of miscellaneous taste or bitterness, then comes the sweetness or umami of nigori. It has a bitter, youthful taste that goes well with spring wild vegetables. The sweetness that comes afterwards is also youthful.
