The first bottle was given to me at a certain president's house, to whom I am indebted. The rice used was ㊗️. Celebration is Kyoto's original rice that was revived in the Heisei era and is suitable for ginjo-shu (ginjo sake). It has a very elegant sweetness and aroma and is a premium ️sake. It is smooth on the palate and goes down smoothly. It was gone in no time. It was a treat❣️.

100% Kyoto sake rice, celebratory rice Slightly sweet strawberry🍓 like aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, but then you are surprised by the acidity and tanginess. The aftertaste is elegant, with a hint of strawberry flavor again. The second sip is easy to drink like water without the tanginess, as if you have gotten used to it. It reminds me of Kyoto's obanzai (traditional Japanese food), with a strong but not overpowering character. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is Kyoto's sake.

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

On the menu it was Tamitsu, but it says early spring in romaji, so I registered for early spring. It reads bouryu, which means muddy. It is light and muddy. It has a nice pithy feeling. It has a refreshing acidity. This is good for summer camps.

At Kimura Sake Shop in Tamatsukuri. I was not sure whether to register at Tamatsuko or Early Spring. Rice is Kami no Ho and Koshihikari. It tastes like a slightly effervescent and refreshing ramune. A refreshing taste perfect for summer. It tastes like something you would find at Takachiyo. It won't be left in stores until summer, but...

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

The It's mine series is sold in single bottles by Izumiya, a sake wholesaler in Nara, Japan. I was shopping at a department store when I saw it and chose four brands I had never had from a list of six: Harushika, Toyoshuku, Miyogiku, Izayo, Joyous Light, and Inaten. We started with Izuseio, which is brewed in Imai-cho, Kashihara, a town that has remained unchanged since the Edo period (1603-1868). It has a refreshing taste with just the right amount of rice flavor and acidity. As a side note for baseball fans, Ukyo Maekawa of the Hanshin baseball team turned 20 years old last year, and his grandfather bought this sake to wish his grandson a big leap forward, which they shared together.

Solving a riddle in Nara I couldn't go to Harushika because of that. It is sweet with a strong aroma of koji. It is sweet with a strong aroma of malted rice, but it also has a bitter taste.

I went to Kuwana this holiday weekend and found a sake shop that sold a lot of local sake from Mie and bought this sake. It is a summer-only fresh-stored sake. It has a slightly sweet taste at first, followed by a sour taste and a cool feeling. It was delicious. 2134 yen.

fourth cup of Tsunite (four cups of sake) Rice used is Gohyakumangoku It has a gorgeous aroma and a smooth taste. It was a light and spicy sake with a clear acidity and a good spiciness. As a food sake, I thought it was the best of the day! It is also delicious.

This is the first sake I learned of its existence in a store. It has a sweet and delicious taste with a hint of rummy. The second half has a pungent taste, but it seems to converge with the first half. As the description says, it is light and refreshing at first, but in the second half, it is thicker and gives a different impression. It is slightly fruity and dry.

Junmai Ginjo Kasumijo Kotobuki / Toraya Sake Brewery Co. 93-1 Kitada, Nakazato, Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture Rice: Izu Kirari / Polishing ratio: 55% / Yeast: Yamagata yeast - Association yeast / AL: 15% / Acidity: undecided / Sake strength: undecided A junmai ginjo with an elegant aroma and a deep taste that harmonizes acidity and sweetness. →I wish I could have been there. I was so happy to see it. It is a very, very "wasteful" sake if you drink it at random. It is a word that I have not spoken for a long time. It was a sake that made me feel the word "Oh my God, Yamagata! I was satisfied. Very satisfied. It is too good to drink for sleeping after work, but it is so delicious (*^^*) that even on a day when you say, "I'm so tired today, I want to drink it and go to bed! The best sake in the world. I regret my lack of interest in this sake, as it is commonly sold in Yamagata Prefecture. m(_ _)mI will actively buy and drink it from now on.

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?
