I was told it would go well with the horse mackerel and kawachi-bankan tangerine. It has a kind of astringency, but when combined with citrus fruits, the fruity taste suddenly spreads.

At home. Fullness and sharpness seem to be the selling points. It has a fruity, sour and delicious taste in the mouth, followed by a bit of bitterness. At the end, there is a refreshing crispness. It's easy to drink, and it's a little bit of a bad guy that you can't stop drinking.

Japanese>English

I bought two bottles of Nara sake since I've been skipping it for a while. Let's start with Kuramoto-san, a famous sake from Toki Touyama 😋 I've never tasted a new sake before, but this one shows off the charm of Yamada Nishiki to the fullest. I've never had a new sake before, but this one really shows off the charm of Yamada Nishiki. It's a great combination of water and rice 😆. I'd like to drink this with my sister Yasuko, just for Kuramoto, "Cheers! I'd love to drink it with you and your sister 😁.

Good evening, again for our first series, this time from Nara Prefecture, this brewery 💁‍♂️ KURAMOTO Ym64 SAKE-TEN 2022BY✨ This is a historical sake brewery, but they have changed their production in recent years to create a more modern lineup. They were recently featured on "Wakate no Yoake" (Dawn of the Young 🙌). This is the latter of the two lines, STANDARD LINE and BIT LINE. This is the latter of the two lines, STANDARD LINE and BIT LINE. The aroma is of clear herbs and sweet honey from the aging process of kijoshu. The taste also has a clear acidity on the attack for a moment, but soon bursts with a rounded sweet flavor and richness that is typical of kijoshu 😊The finish is light and dry and crisp, and you can just enjoy the lingering taste. I prefer the fresh one, but this sake has the goodness of aging and is very tasty to drink 😋.

On the second day, we moved to Nagano to a campsite with the best view of the starry sky in Japan. The sky was somewhat cloudy, and we wondered if we would be able to see the starlit sky... We stayed in a bungalow, so we only slept there. We went to Iida City. Iida City seems to be a town of yakiniku (grilled meat), and there are many yakiniku restaurants, but all the popular ones are full of reservations. After an hour of searching around for yakiniku refugees, we finally found one 😅. Kikusui Honjozo Nama-Stored Sake It has a sweet taste and is easy to drink. It has a mild sweetness and is a delicious Honjozo. The barbecue restaurant is diagonally in front of Kikusui Brewery. The third picture is not in the brewery, but it is the warehouse of Kikusui Sake Brewery. It looked more like a factory than a brewery.

Japanese>English

To be served at the restaurant for a family dinner party. The sake is a completely local Kikusui lineup. A great local product with no other sakes. The sake is low in the mouthfeel and opens slowly. The aftertaste is not too strong and enhances the taste of the food. By the way, Saruko-no-Spring is a spring in Iida City that has been selected as one of the best 100 springs in Japan.

Japanese>English

Aroma: Fairly weak Mouthfeel Slightly sweet to dry Slightly sweet to dry Alcohol 15%. Rice used: Miyamanishiki Polishing ratio 55 Taste 3.6 Purchased at a souvenir store in front of Iida station Enjoy it on the Iida Line

Paid tasting, a bit expensive at 400 yen, but the surprising ginjo aroma, muscat-like taste and gentle flavor were delicious. It was nice to see replicas of the display of colored papers of successive prime ministers pasted on the wall, showing their individuality. A web search revealed that Fukubito is I found on the Web that Fukubito was the first sake brewery in Japan established in 1917 as a joint-stock company by investment from sake brewing companies mainly in western Japan.

Japanese>English

Purchased during a visit to a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima. When the bottle was opened, it smelled a little like magic ink. It tastes sweet like white sugar and has a relaxing flavor. It was different from the tasting. It tastes good, but... On the second day, it tastes just like I tasted it at the brewery. It is delicious with well-balanced flavor 😊.

Japanese>English

Last Sake on the Second Night of Hiroshima Night It is said to be a limited edition sake for the district. After drinking so much, I honestly don't remember much about it, It's a solid, rich sake. I had the impression that it had a slight rice flavor... I was under the impression that it was a little ricey... Hiroshima Night is now over: ☑️

It was hot... in May... in Saitama Prefecture too. There were some extremely hot days 🤣. On the last day of GW, I went to a shopping mall on the way home from a movie with my wife. I went to a shopping mall to do some shopping. We wandered around Cardi's. Sake. Ice sake?　I thought it would be good when it gets hotter. I tossed it in the back of the basket. I had it waiting in the freezer, but I didn't realize how quickly it would crisp up. It was hot, so I decided to finish it off with a dessert. Adult sherbet Naoshichi is a brand of citrus fruit from Kochi. It's good to have in the freezer from now on. ⭕️ The manufacturer is Kikusui Sake Brewery. No, it's from Kochi, so it's from here.

Okan's present sake series. Today I chose Kikusui. I didn't know there was a Kikusui in Tosa. I didn't know that😓I expected some sweetness since it is a junmai ginjo, but it was very dry. Sometimes it is nice to drink sake at room temperature. It's a single-batch bottle, so it's easy to open 😄.

Gifts from Mom #5 The surrealistic labeling of "On a night like this..." is unbearable. Uitate aroma is fruity and citrusy. The mouthfeel is tangy gas on the tongue with a good sweetness & acidity. The aftertaste has some alcohol, but the bitterness is pleasant again! The aftertaste is not too long, and you can go on and on. After all, on a night like this... it's delicious! Thank you for the food!

Sour and sweet per se. Thins to mid-palate, perfect for a night like this.

Like Minatoya Toisuke, this is another brand of Murasuke that I bought because I liked it after tasting it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. There are many liquor stores that sell Murasuke in Tokyo, but I had never seen this brand before. As its name suggests, it's low in alcohol content at 13%, so it's easy to drink 😚. When you drink it cold, it's light and refreshing, with no hint of bitterness. It's delicious in its own right, but when it's chilled at a cooler temperature, it becomes sweeter and more impressive. I liked it best when it was chilled in the wine cellar at about 15 degrees Celsius 😄. It's interesting to see how it changes with the temperature, but in any case, it's a different direction from the sweet and sour fruity Murasuke. I think it's a fine sake that won't go with any snacks 😋

This is a sake from the Murayu brewery👍. The acidity is very attractive.

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.
