Melon-flavored
☀️ This is the first time I've seen a drink without a label 🏷️. Instead it has a ribbon🎀 which makes it unique 🤩. There is an initial feeling of alcohol, but it is quickly followed by a sweetness. Soft sweetness with a melon flavor. It can be fluffed up as it is. A sake that tastes as unique as it looks 🍶.

Leaving the new sake festival, we went to the second restaurant. The second party was at a soba restaurant on the restaurant floor of Amu Plaza Kumamoto, adjacent to the station. This soba restaurant has a great selection of sake 😁. The price is... no way 🤣. The second drink was Shashaemon I had this sake at this restaurant before, but I couldn't remember what it tasted like, so I ordered it. The moment I put it in my mouth, the gorgeous aroma spreads and sweetness, sourness, umami, and spiciness all come at once 😳. This feeling is like no other 😁. You can enjoy this on its own or as a food sake 🥰.

I had it with sea bream carpaccio and as the name suggests, it enhances the flavor of the fish dish😊. The sake alone is refreshing and delicious.

Schwarzenegger and Refreshing Aroma: Fruity, a little foamy attack. Taste: Fresh sweetness, low acidity. It goes in smoothly and has a refreshing aftertaste. Easy to drink at ABV 13. Aperitif and instant kill. Didn't hold up to seafood 🤣.

Weighty
Taste of the Ancient Times Aroma reminiscent of old wood and steamed rice. The sharp mouthfeel is followed by a tangy, pungent taste. The taste is full of alcohol with a hint of umami, and finishes with a lingering pungent and astringent aftertaste. It gives the impression of good old tradition. It tastes like an old house. We would like to support this brewery as it is the nearest brewery to Okayama. ★★★★

Bizen tasted Ichinomiya sake. The labeling was a bit dubious, with no indication of rice polishing ratio or alcohol content, and "Junmai Daiginjo" pasted on the label after the fact... The taste was fresh and light. The taste was fresh, light, and refreshing.

Obtained at a brewery festival. Sourness and bitterness on the palate, with a hint of ginjo. I guess it's not my favorite sake...

Fruity
The wine has subtle bubbles and distinct flavors of honeydew melon and green apple. The label, like Akabu's "Amber," has an orange-yellow visual design that makes you look forward to the coming fall and the maple leaves on the mountains. The tagline also depicts the tranquility of an airplane landing after flying over the 99-mile coast in the setting sun.

OCEAN99 Series Orange Sea-Arrival-Unfiltered once-fired unpasteurized sake Aiming for a calm taste, this sake evokes the image of an airplane passing over Kujukuri and landing in the orange hues of the setting sun. (From the label) Fruity aroma, beautiful acidity, and some warmth. ☺️

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

Other brews 🍶Unfiltered raw sake✨Kuuga Second of three bottles my wife got from participating in a crafan ✨. Sweet ✨. A little schwar✨. Grapey 🍇. I can feel the acidity in the simmered Nametagarei 😆. Gentle taste. Also, I had it with some fried firefly squid with garlic and some pickled wasabi (hana wasabi). Get it from Kurafan @ Home Drinking 20240423

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.

Five Million Stone. Light around the perimeter. The spiciness peeks out from the bottom of the umami.

The clerk at the liquor store recommended this sake to me if I liked it sweet. Indeed, it was a perfect strike! My partner and I said in unison, "Delicious! I said in unison. At first, the sourness is strong and tingling, but when you swallow it, the aroma of rice escapes from your nose, and there is a faint sweet aftertaste. If you are not a fan of sake, this is a sake you should try. Wakaha Shuzo is the best!

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

硬く甘口お酒。 だがアルコール度数19もあり、冷やで口にすると甘味とアルコールの切れが、衝突し複雑な味わいになるのがある意味面白い。 とは言うもの、冷やと燗は向いておらず 思いっきり冷やすのが良い。ロックで飲む事がオススメ。 もともと濃く深い味わいなので、氷の3欠片程度で全く薄くならなずスムースに。あの衝突が仲良し旨口に変化しとても美味しい。
Sake from Hirohata, Himeji Otten: super sweet and Wakaten: super dry. I opened both, either individually or in a blend!

Good evening, this will be the first series in a row. This will be a separate order of Hanaboe from Yoshino, Nara ✨. I looked at the specs and couldn't imagine what it tastes like, 😅 let's drink it without thinking first 🍶. First of all, the aroma is like a traditional sake aroma, like a sacred sake 🍶? It also has a sense of maturity, like a noble sake. The taste is like sake (‼️), but it has a fruity and sour taste like grape🍇, and while it has a moderate alcohol content, it is easy to drink as the temperature rises. The aftertaste is delicious, with a sweetness and richness like a kijoshu.
