Takatsugawa is an everyday sake from Shimane's Fusozuru. Full-bodied and full of flavor when cold. Warmed up, it is a warm and mild sake. It goes well with solid everyday dishes and can also be drunk with oshiruko (soup stock). It is a soft, matured sake with a low price, and I love its mellow, umami taste.

Suddenly my tooth was not feeling well and I had to go to the dentist in a hurry. This time there was no anesthesia and no pain, so I went to an event at the Hanshin Department Store that was being held. I bought my favorite Japanese sweets at the event and drank sake to go with them. The wagashi I chose was an easy-to-eat warabimochi. The kinako (soybean flour) was done to a strong flavor and was not too sweet. I had the sake I chose heated. The sake is aged for 2 to 3 years before being bottled at the best drinking time, so the hot sake had a delicious flavor that enhanced the caramel and nutty taste. When I saw the aged color, I thought it wouldn't go well with warabimochi (rice cakes), but it went well with kinako (soybean flour) and was delicious.

The last of the four rounds of the Sanin Sake Heated Sake Tasting. Takatsugawa" junmai sake from the Fusozuru brewery. We ordered this sake last season because it was commented on the website of Kotobukiya in Atsugi as a "hidden gem for home drinking. It is a junmai sake with 70% polished rice. Good coloring👍

Oh no, chocolate. At room temperature, it's quite chocolatey. The next day, the only way to get this is to heat it up. The next day, we heated it up and it turned out to be a good hit. Let's take it easy. In the long autumn night...

Scoring☆☆☆☆ Kamikame Shuzo's Sake Pants from Saitama All products bearing the name "Hikomago" are aged for more than three years in the brewery before being shipped. Open the bottle! 🌠 The sweet aroma of rice drifts faintly in the air😄. The first glass is a cold sake. Rich, soft, and robust. 😋 The second glass is lukewarm or hot ❗ The rice flavor is nice 😋 A little nostalgic, I️ surprisingly like the taste of Junmai sake🎶. Tonight I paired it with shabu shabu and it was a good match for the meat👍. I recommend drinking it warmed up with strong flavored food and cheese😄.

Overall 9 (out of 10) Purchased at a liquor store right next to Kamikame on 5/26. It seems that they don't sell directly to the public. The website says The website says, "We do not add anything, we do not hide anything, we carefully and deliberately brew with craftsmanship, farmers, and time as our allies. Chikara" is one of the "Chikara", "Ju", and "Yama-Ari Tani-Ari" series of tank sake. First of all, it has a nice aroma right after opening the bottle. And the taste of rice is simple and straightforward. There is no extra production, just rice and water! No other taste is created! That's my impression👍 The rice flavor is very close to that of Hakugakuzen! It is similar to Hakudakesen Gokuso, which gave me the impression of "The Rice Sake! I would like to have other series! It was served chilled! I was impressed by the aroma. -Aroma on the nose: Delicious ginjo aroma 👍 -The aroma is not so good. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum). -Spiciness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste -Sweetness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste -Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 aftertaste -Bitterness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste -Astringency: 0 at the beginning → 1 lingering aftertaste -Rice flavor: 3 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt] → 1 Smaller number = light and smooth Bigger number = thicker and richer (5 is the maximum)

We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 2nd glass Wadarai Dry Junmai This is also a brand I've never had before! Although it is dry, it is surprisingly fruity! It has a clean and crisp taste, so it went in easily.

Yamagata dry is interesting because sweetness also rides on it. After all! Shonai sake rice is different?

Rice used is unknown. According to the owner of the sake shop, the sake is aged for three years, but there is no strong sense of aging, and it is a dry junmai-shu with a good acidity. It is a dry junmai-shu with a lot of acidity. The sweetness that spreads fluently and the spicy astringency in the latter half are very unique. After a few days, it becomes more crisp and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd like to have more of a woody or smoky flavor. Either way, it's not a type that will appeal to everyone. The mainstay of this brewery is Yamahai brewing, so it will be interesting to see how peculiar it is.

The next drink was a Tokujiro for Joyo's distributor? Tokujiro I drank Joyo several times, but this was my first time to drink Tokujiro. I happened to see on a restaurant instagram I follow that Tokujiro was originally a joint product between a Hirakata liquor store and the Joyo Brewery. It's unfiltered, once-bottled, and heated. It's fire-brewed, but it's still slightly effervescent and has a fresh, mellow rice flavor that's really tasty 😋. I'll buy Tokujiro next time I see it.

It doesn't say, but the product name is Kokoromi. 295 bottles of this sake are limited, and from the name, I wonder if it is a test brew type sake. The concept of the Kokoromi saké has been around since last year, and it is said to be "unpolished luxury. This year's theme is "Shitakoya. It is a low-polished, low-alcohol sake. It is a rather gorgeous sake with a gentle taste that is not typical of Shirataka. The rice is Yamada-Nishiki from a special A district, which is luxurious for only 1,300 yen. It is probably only available in the Nishinomiya area, but if you see it, give it a try.

Shirataka, founded in 1862, is especially famous as the official sake of Ise Jingu Shrine. (of course, I had never heard of it before 😅), which is especially famous as a sacred sake for Ise Jingu Shrine. We were very satisfied with the all-you-can-eat crab, sushi, sashimi, etc. We were very satisfied. The place is Kobe Minato Onsen lotus. The aroma was not too strong, but soft and fruity with no bitterness.

Yo ❗️Manly ministry ️. Such a sake, Kanematsu Shirataka🦅. The harmony of Yamada Nishiki and Miyamizu was austere and deep, beautiful and strong... a good sake😊.
