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!

This year, I also enjoyed Tenranzan, which shows the characteristics of the brewery. The Koshi has a fruity aroma...sweet...a touch of bubbles, slight foam, and freshness. I'd like to drink it again next year...

Japanese>English

At home. My first Koshi, recently received from a friend: ‼️ It has a gorgeous aroma, and in the mouth it has a fresh, bubbly, fizzy feeling. It was easy to drink with a refreshing, sweet and sour taste.

Japanese>English

Smells like oil clay and green apple. Peach syrup and slight effervescence, with a hint of rice flavor, a little sourness, and a little bitterness. The initial impact of sweetness is followed by spiciness. It permeates the palate. It is delicious. I want to go to the brewery to buy it directly!

Tonight, our first in the series, Aizu Otokoyama Kai from Fukushima Aizu ✨. First of all, the specs are 100% Fukunoka with Jungin polish and 16% alcohol. The aroma is clear with a hint of pineapple and a mojito-like flavor in the second half. The attack is soft and sweet just like the aroma, but soon the acidity and bitterness overtake it and it has a nice crisp finish 👍 It is perfect as a mealtime drink and is very easy to drink without feeling too much alcohol 😋.

Japanese>English

Otokoyama Brewery is located in Aizumisato-cho, Onuma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, which is different from Kaito Otokoyama. The brewery was dormant for a while, but has restarted again. It is a fresh, raw ogara-mi sake. It is slightly carbonated and tastes great with the bitterness of the oli.

Japanese>English

Aizu Otokoyama INOMATA65, autumn rise. Orthodox but slightly fruity. It is delicious and does not have the strange feeling of old-fashioned sake lingering on the tongue. This is a repeat sake.

Immediately after opening the bottle, it was dry and dry, perhaps due to the 17% alcohol content. Then, after leaving it in the refrigerator for about 5 days due to a business trip, the taste changed drastically! There is almost no aroma, but it has turned into a crisp, sweet and delicious sake. There are not many sakes that have changed in taste like this.

Japanese>English

I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again. Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears. The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage! Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced. The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending! The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring. It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!

Japanese>English

I drank it at a tasting and bought it because it tasted better than the sake labeled by Machida Sake Brewery. It is high quality for about 1,500 yen. It seems they use a sake rice called Maikaze, but they don't know if they will be able to produce it next year. I hope they will sell it again next year...

Slightly fruity smell. Softly sweet and light in the mouth. The mouthfeel is reminiscent of rice, with an extended acidity, a slight sweetness, and a bitter taste that fades away. It is delicious. The impression is gentle. The third day. It tastes better when it has been open for a while. After the light fruitiness, the water is a little sour, a little bitter, and clean. Not too much of a bad taste, just a good feeling.

Japanese>English

Nagano sake is delicious 🍶, and my favorite Shinshu Kamerei and Hitogokochi are my favorites. .... Fruity aroma, sweetness of rice, good bitterness in the aftertaste, and a nice sharpness! Nothing to say about it, roast pork and local edamame (edamame is in season) to go with it. .... Next time, I'd like to pair it with Shinshu soba noodles...

Japanese>English

I love ❤️ Shinshu Kamerei, which was sleeping in the fridge! The mouthfeel is sweet! However, the aftertaste is exquisitely bitter and sharp! This is it! I can't believe that rice can be expressed like this 😋 It's really delicious 😋 Anyway, it's .... There is no bitterness! I wonder if it's buckwheat noodles since it's a Shinshu sake (....) It's delicious to drink as it is....

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got my first three stars 😀. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we have a little quirky one for you 💁. Mitsurensei 15th Anniversary Special Sake 5 Years Aged Shiga Watabune Rokugou ✨ H29BY=2017BY and from 2022.7 when shipped, it's aged 5 years, but it's now aged 6 years with +1 year in our house😅. I'll try it as an after-dinner drink after dinner 🍶. It's colorless and clear when you pour it into the cup. The aroma is completely old and matured, with hints of dried grapes, brandy, chocolate, and cacao...it's just mellow. The taste is also bitter with bitter chocolate sweetness, followed by alcohol 😋. Six years of aging is no joke 😎.

Japanese>English

I will drop a second one this evening. This is the second of the three stars limited edition extravaganza✨ This time it's the Arcburg strain, reprint yellow yeast. The aroma is not flashy at all, it's a traditional sake with a graininess and beaniness, but the taste is a complete turnaround, with bitterness and sourness from biting the peel of citrus fruits, and it's quite dry with the alcohol running down the nose, perfect for a mealtime sake 😋. The dryness of the reissued yellow malted rice is not a date: ‼️

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

Tomiikiku's local sake ministry️ popular at Haneya. This sake is available in supermarkets😊. The traditional method of production is the same as that of Haneya. Different tastes with different vectors 😋. This sake is characterized by sweetness and umami, not dryness. The common feature is a powdery taste like Kamishinko. It's not always available and not always cheap. I've been through it all along😅lol

Japanese>English

As expected! Apparently it's only available at Seven. 300ml costs about 700 yen. It's shocking that this can be found in a convenience store! It's juicy, refreshing, and slightly sizzling. It's not alcoholic, and it's gone in a flash!

Japanese>English

It's not as good as the Haneya award-winning sake I drank the other day. but the sweetness and elegant taste was similar😄. It was delicious and I drank it at a good pace.

Every year I look forward to the Risshun morning pressing... this year, I'm going to enjoy a bottle of TENRANZAN! When the bottle is opened, it has a pleasant fruity aroma...freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, and fresh because it is freshly pressed...the balance of sweet and bitter is unstable, with a certain sharpness...but the aftertaste is crisp! Delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a fresh taste and the alcohol and presence that only original sake can provide.

Japanese>English

At the beginning of the New Year, I enjoy the local sake 🍶Tenranzan Hatsu Shibori (first pressing), which I received as a gift, and since it is an ale-added, honjozo sake, it is more of a food sake than a straight sake...fresh as it is raw...my favorite horse sashimi and oseki (New Year) as a snack.... Enjoying the New Year's Day with my favorite horse sashimi and oshibushi....
