Today's second drink is from a long-established local brewery in Kanagawa Light and dry Relatively thin on the tongue, with a slight aroma of the yellow part of pudding. It has a light sweetness, followed by a slight sourness. The aftertaste is a little alcoholic. Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree +4, 13% alc. The overall taste is light. The aroma is surprisingly pudding-like! However, it is not so sweet and the sourness comes quickly, so it is less pudding-like, but this is the first Junmai sake with a pudding-like, egg-like flavor, which is good. The back view of the cat on the label is also a bit melancholy and cute.

Low alcohol, clean and dry type. Fireworks on the back of the label. The cat must have been watching it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶 Nama Sake✨The Door into Summer🌻. Cute cat label😍Open the door and you'll see sunflowers🌻. The aroma, slightly pungent. A bit grassy when you drink it. A little grassy when you drink it. But the subtle saltiness, bitterness, cleanness, and spiciness are well balanced and nice. When paired with the pickled sea bream, it's refreshing ✨ and easy to drink without any resistance. But it might be a little less interesting 😅 If you pair it with marinated herring and dill, it's more interesting with more dill, but the sake might be less assertive. It might be a bit too much. Reset with fries. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20240709

At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Japanese>English

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Japanese>English

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

Rice used is Dewanosato At first sip, I thought, "This is delicious! This is quite a talented brewer. The moment you take a sip, the banana-like sweetness spreads, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste. It is not gorgeous, but the atmosphere is calm and serene from start to finish. It is a nice and classy sake and I liked it❣️.

After buying some sake at Sukumasa, we left the store and were greeted with rain and winds like we've never experienced before. I thought to myself, "This is a typhoon," but my umbrella was overturned and my shoes and pants were soaking wet💦. If only I had bothered a little more at Sukumasa, maybe I wouldn't have gotten wet 🤣. Moved to Namba and went to Takashimaya while watching the liquor section of Ikari supermarket. MURASHIGE SHUZO who brought a strange sake that was dry but sour at last year's Takashimaya Sake Festival! I heard that the perverted sake was sold out, so the main sake was Kinkan Kuromatsu. We drank Junmai Daiginjo It is labeled as -8 on the sake meter, but it has a classic taste with not so much sweetness. It tastes not like a daiginjo and is very unique. It looks good heated up. A little nutty? Junmai I heard it's a sake for evening drinking, but it has a lot of acidity. This is also a classic, but it has acidity and is easy to drink. Junmai Ginjo Less acidic than Junmai. The most orthodox, but not memorable. Junmai Daiginjo Nishiki Beautiful taste, but less flamboyant. I also tasted a 1 year old junmai from MURASHIGE and 3 types of EIGHT KOTT, and bought the test brew of EIGHT KOTT because it was delicious 😋. Finally, I stopped by the sake department of EDION and went home 😊.

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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😊.

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.

This is my first time in Kumi no Ura. I've only seen it at Isetan Kyoto. It has a fruity aroma, light and refreshingly sweet. It seems to be popular among women. It is different from the impression on the label.

Japanese>English

I drank Kumi no Ura a long time ago, but it made little impression on me. I tried to remember it well this time, but my memory is not so good in this area😅. I think it was dry and refreshing, made with Koshihikari rice.

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a dry sake with a very thick core flavor and a lot of graininess! If you like strong dry sake, this is the one for you! I was traumatized because I was surrounded by jellyfish when I jumped into Kumihama from the wharf a long time ago. Thank you very much!
