Ponshukan Nagaoka Station Store drinking groupie 8th cup. I wanted to try a strong dry sake, so I chose Kashiwa Dew. I thought it would be okay because I am used to drinking Sanzenmori, but I didn't feel it was that spicy despite its high alcohol content. It did have a cheese-like sourness, but it was not strong. I would have understood if I had drunk it first. I still have some more sake to drink, so I bought some coins.

Japanese>English

Slightly yellowish and clear with fine effervescence. There are aromas of honeysuckle, topknot, and pear. The attack is rather strong, with gentle acidity, rich sweetness, and a rather long finish.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Today we visited the Tottori & Okayama Antenna Shops, a place of relaxation for Masamune hunters 📡. As soon as I arrived there, I started looking for Masamune and found it 🤩. It's sake 🍶. It has a crisp, Hakka-like aroma. It is also very refreshing on the throat. The umami of the rice is subdued, and then there is a subdued sweetness and an equally subdued acidity. Overall, it has a light and simple taste 😙. It is probably best suited as a food sake 🍶. The Hakka flavor, combined with the oiliness of the food, seems to help the oil from the food to be washed away quickly 😁. Nice Masamune👍

Japanese>English

The 800 check-in is the H27BY (2015 brewing year) Sanko Masamune from which Toji Takagaki retired 😆. We were lucky to get it 😊. This is the only sake from Mr. Takagaki but we are holding Takagaki festival 😅🍶. When opened in the fridge, it smells slightly like a soy sauce warehouse (there was a soy sauce warehouse in my neighborhood when I was a kid) or Shaoxing sake. It's a dry and light sake when cold. Sanko is still a warmed sake, so I'd recommend heating it up 🍶. The top aroma is the aromatic aroma of a freshly heated sake. When heated, it does not have a matured aroma. In the mouth, you first feel sharp acidity and spiciness. The acidity is not as strong as that of Sanko Tenpyo's Namahashi or Yamahai, but it is quite good. There is a slight sweetness and a beautiful umami that does not make you feel the rice polishing ratio of 72%. This is a perfect food sake 🍶😊. I don't know if this is the original taste since it is an old sake, but it was deeply delicious 😌. After retiring, he returned to farm near his hometown, but unfortunately, he died in a field accident last year 🥲. I learned of his death when I saw a relative of his on Instagram late last May with a picture of H27BY "Katsumasa" to inform me of his passing. A toast to Mr. Katsumasa Takagaki 😌🍶. The fourth picture is a sake from the brewery where Mr. Takagaki worked in the past.

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

Mellow I was also attracted to the crisp, clean taste of the "Tanrei" sake, but I bought this one. It is not too sweet and has a good balance of sake-like characteristics. I can't believe this is only made with rice!

Japanese>English

Light on the palate. There is no sweetness, but it is floral. The aroma that spreads on the palate at the end is not too assertive, but delicious.

Tonight, our first series of this brand from Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. Okuroku Junmai Ginjo-shu Namahashime Unite 2023BY✨. The aroma is a mild, almost odorless barb 🌿 The taste has a pleasant acidity and sweetness on the attack, with a nice, nourishing umami flavor. The second half is quite sharp with a pungent alcohol taste lingering in the back of the throat. It was very perfect as a food wine 😋😋😋😋.

Morioka! First issue. Treasure these encounters. It is refreshing but has a full-bodied aftertaste. I wonder if it is a bit like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. Is it like a sake with soup? It is a perfect food sake for soup with appetizers. It's delicious! The first set of dishes was also stylish and delicious.

It is crisp and has a strong acidity, as if it is a sake made from sake yeast. When ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) is paired with it, the acidity is softened and the flavor is delicious.

〰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!

Weekend drinking out with work friends in Tokyo. At the first place, it was wine from beer. Sake at the second one... more details 😆. A bit dry... I don't remember the wooden barrel feeling that I was so excited about 🙏. The first sip was very quick and easy to drink 😅

Japanese>English

Sometimes I drink out! I forgot to take a picture of the back label. The rice is called Akebono. It has been a long time since I have had it. Overall, it's clean, with a soft flavor. It smelled great, and it was a delicious drink! You can buy a quadruple bottle for less than 1,000 yen, so the cost is good ✨

Hiraccio's recommendation? I went to a U-shaped restaurant in Kawagoe, which was recommended by Mr. Hiraccio. The place is crowded with regulars. It is a good place for a quick drink. I wanted to drink tenkasu, but I had to heat it up. It tastes gentle. The label on the back is poetic. I said I could drink it quickly, but it was too long.

Japanese>English

The mouthfeel is soft and disappears easily, leaving a lingering aftertaste. It is not only light, but also deep in flavor. The expression changes depending on the temperature range and the shade of the atte. It is a good food sake. ‼️

Original Sake by Sakemoto Shoten More gentle and rounded on the palate than the Omachi version we drank last time. Gentler and more rounded in the mouth. It is a good food sake that goes well with all kinds of food. It was a good food sake. ❗️

I ordered this because they said the money for this will be donated to the Noto earthquake. It will be hot 🍶. Oh no, there was only one left when I thought this was the Mexicali Tempura. It doesn't feel special, but it's a nice sake that goes perfectly with a meal. It wasn't stingy at all. I can't read the label. It's black, which is what a beginner in calligraphy did.

Japanese>English

It is a dry sake with a crisp, mellow flavor from the ginjo brewing and junmai brewing. Although it is dry, you will not feel the dryness, and it becomes softer when heated. Excellent with sashimi, sushi and other fish dishes.

Japanese>English

It's refreshing and delicious 😋. I would drink it again if I had the chance!

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Japanese>English

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

Refreshing aroma, clean taste. No aftertaste and delicious.

Japanese>English

This Sake has a nice medium mouth feel and acidity to give a clean finish. The flavor reminds me of dried apricot with the sweetness of pear. The flavors feel rich and colorful.

At room temperature. The ginjo aroma has a slight apple, apricot, and hay aroma. It has a ginjo aroma with a hint of apple, apricot, and hay, and goes down the throat easily with a soft mouthfeel. It has a slight sweetness and bitterness, a light, clear acidity, followed by umami and full-bodied flavor. It has a gentle taste with a subdued aroma, somewhere between modern and classic. A light and refreshing aftertaste due to the effect of the alsobe and acidity. The calm taste that accompanies food gently makes you feel relaxed 😌.
