Today I went back to my hometown for the first time in six months. The wife requested to see hydrangeas, so we went to the hydrangea garden and got soaked in sweat 💦. After a delicious meal and bath, we opened a bottle of this sake that the wife liked and purchased at the event. The brewer was easy to talk to and calm, which made a good impression on us. ⭕️ The aroma is fresh and pear-like, and the mouthfeel is clean and refreshing. It has a clean and mellow taste in the mouth, a little dry, and is very easy to drink with a nice sharp taste 😄. It tastes better than usual in the countryside, probably because you are in a completely relaxed mode 😌. The sound of frogs croaking in the background made for a peaceful evening with my husband and wife 🐸. We also bought a bottle of summer sake here which was also delicious 😊.

5.0/10.0 Local sake from Aichi prefecture. The barrel aroma is amazing.

Full-bodied ginjo aroma🪙. In the mouth, a slightly heavy sweetness and a unique umami taste escape through the nose, and a light acidity rounds it all out😗. The price is reasonable and I can't complain, but enjoy it as a food sake: ☺️🍽️

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

Sandesi🍶 I'm not really impressed with the size of this one. And the label says "handmade"... I feel like they are very particular about it 😝. It's a very tangy, crispy, and hardcore taste. I decided to go for the Sandesi after taking various things into consideration, I regret that I should have bought a four-pack bottle. My child said, "That's unusual! The bottle is so small! 🤣. The third picture is Kumamoto Castle which was damaged in the Kumamoto earthquake. Still under restoration. This is the first time I've seen the inside of a stone wall 👀. The fourth picture is on the way to Mt. I couldn't see anything because of the thick fog or clouds 🤣.

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_55 Fukui Prefecture Booth ⑦ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery is located in Imajo, an inn town in Minami-Echizen-cho, Nanjo-gun. Representative brands are Yuki Kirara and Hyakkibune. ◉Yuki Kirara Sakahomare Junmai Daiginjo The flavor is citrusy, acidic, and slightly reminiscent of yogurt. It is quite likeable and delicious. It is a small brewery with only three people working on it, but they will be awarded the Kura Master Platinum in 2023 for this sake. When I drink Sakahomare, I often associate it with yogurt with citrus.

National Sake Fair 2025 part52 Fukui Prefecture⑥ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery in Minami Echizen Town Snow Kirara has been bartered with Mr. Jive for a drink in the past. Polishing ratio 40%, SakaHomare 15%, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.8 3,630 yen Beautiful and muscat-like. I thought it was interesting to see the gap between the sake quality and that of the rough or first pressing 🤔. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from Mr. Neemuchi.

Purchased directly from the brewery. It is a junmai sake, which means that the complex rice flavor comes first, followed by the bitterness of alcohol and a hint of sweetness.

Hakkeikubiki is a series of the eight blessings of Kakizaki: sun, water, earth, sky, wind, trees, snow, and people. This is wind. Come to think of it, it was windy in Kakizaki. This is the second bottle from the Sake Rice Study Group. The sake rice is locally grown Koshitanrei. The aroma is light, but has the gorgeous flavor of a daiginjo. The taste is very broad. It is delicious.

Oh, the label of Yuki (YUKI) has changed. Like "Kaze" and "Sora" in the Yaeguhiki series, the design is based on white, with a thicker material that gives a softer impression. The name "Yuki" is a summer sake of Yaeguhiki. Snow in summer. Until last year, Snow was a junmai ginjo made from Koshitanrei, but it is now a junmai daiginjo made from Yamada-nishiki. It is said that this is the only year that snow is brewed with Yamadanishiki. We bought it immediately without hesitation. Edamame (green soybeans) season is here! It's too good to be true. The aroma is like white grapes. The aroma is like that of white grapes, and the acidity is firm and smooth, The bitter taste that spreads softly is refreshing, The bitter taste spreads softly and is refreshingly sweet and sour, The clear and calm umami, The bitter aftertaste lingers gently, A junmai daiginjo that makes you want another cup, Delicious! Hachiekubiki is a series of wines that expresses the local Kakizaki's feelings toward its eight blessings: the sun (yang), water, earth, air, wind, forests (trees), snow, and people. It has been quite a while since its release, but still no water, trees, or people. I'm looking forward to it. === Ingredients Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice malt(domestic) Rice:Yamadanishiki produced in Kakizaki Rice polishing ratio:40 Alcohol content: 16%. 2,420 yen per 720ml === The name of the brewery is ★★★★☆

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

The taste is mild at the beginning, but then the spicy and tasty flavor rushes in and finishes. It gives a strong impression. I have only tried it with sashimi, but I felt it went especially well with red tuna.

(ˊ일ˋ )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and cheer 📣✊. This sake is from Shimizu Sake Brewery in Kawai-cho, Wajima, which suffered a big fire after the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The building was not completely destroyed or destroyed by fire, but there was a lot of damage 😢This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. The aroma is only a little, and the sake is a solid amber color🤔It says it is dry, but it has a refreshing umami taste😊The sweetness and acidity are moderate and the aftertaste is super refreshing😚✨You will not get tired of drinking it and it will go down easy😇 It's a delicious sake that can reset your palate during a meal 🥳👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.
