Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

Dry taste that goes well with chicken on the bone. It washes away the oil from the chicken. A quick sip with a cup of sake will reset your palate from the strong flavors of tsukune, kawa, liver, etc., and you will be ready for the next dish. You will be ready for the next dish in a flat state.

Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma. It has a light touch with a sharp spiciness behind.

Switching is the key 😤.

Purchased for the following reasons. Brewer I saw on the way to Hibi Brewing's store. 　✳︎ Hibi Hibi was closed 😭 The label is unique 😊. I have a feeling it will be dry 🤔. I drank it chilled for a while, It was a jackpot. Except for the choice of a small bottle. Kyoto, the best. I would like to revisit the city and take a sake walk. Place of purchase Kyoto station

First encounter since the change from Fukuhime at the Hakata Station event. The first sniff was like a sacred wine But I didn't mind from the second sniff. The taste is more modern, but I could feel a little alcohol. Since it's a nokumi, it's very exciting to see how it will change from here.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

Sake with a great flavor. Slightly dry, which means it was spicy for me: ⭐️⭐️

I had wanted to drink it for a long time, but the timing was never quite right... The manager said it was his favorite drink in the restaurant! It is a pale yellow color with silver tints and a hint of green. It has a spicy top note with a hint of alcohol, but the aroma is very refreshing, perhaps because of the acidity. When you drink it, the slightly carbonated texture on the tongue is pleasant. There is not much noticeable aroma, but the acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel. It may not have much sweetness to begin with, but the acidity helps to make it dry. Despite its dryness, it has a strong flavor, which is probably due to the strong umami that can be tasted from start to finish. Dry sake is usually considered "spicy," but perhaps because of the strong umami, it does not feel too spicy. Interestingly, it is a sake that does not have much bitterness, which may be why it is so light and easy to drink despite its 17% alcohol content. This is seriously very, very good! I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I think it's a must-try for sake drinkers who like umami!

Japanese>English

Low-polished & sake yeast yeast As expected, it has a strong punch! The aftertaste is also bitter and punchy. ‼️ It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a citrusy bitterness at the finish. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a unique and delicious sake with many different expressions. ❣️

Japanese>English

Rice used is Yamadanishiki After opening the bottle, I wondered if it would have been better if I had let it sit longer. I regret it after opening the bottle. Even as it is, it has a great balance of fruity and powerful, with a clean dry finish. ‼️ However, it seemed to have a lot of potential to improve! It was delicious, but it was a waste of time!

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

Japanese>English

Hanak Friday was a toast at a restaurant that "I think will be a great help to me in the future! This is the store of the owner who introduced me to sake. Oh, there are so many sakes that I still don't know about! First of all, here is "Seki". They are the brewer of Meikyojosui! It is very easy to drink! It gives the impression of being neither modern nor classic. It is very refreshing. I had it cold. It was very tasty! I heard it is also delicious heated. It went well with tempura dishes.

Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store. Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste. This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Japanese>English

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku. The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi. It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity. As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

Japanese>English

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day. It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use. When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see. I don't think it should be chilled too much. If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you. I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while. There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic. Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?

Chiyoroku given to me by a friend. It's my first time 🙌 It's a junmai daiginjo, but it's so refreshing and easy to drink 😆. It has a moderate sweetness and a slight bitterness with a nice sharpness. The alcohol content is 16%, but you don't feel it at all😅. It was a very light summer sake 😆.

Rice used: Miyamanishiki and Gin-san It has a white wine taste and a crisp, tight flavor. It is best when chilled. It is unique and went well with cream cheese ❗️.

〰fixture Association Yeast No. 601 🌾Weighing: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture 2021/03 The umami of rice, which is typical of junmai, comes in softly. The astringent bitterness comes quickly. The bitterness is quite bitter.

Japanese>English

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!
